I am back from my sabbatical. Actually i was extremely busy for the past one month or so. But thts no excuse for failing to write even a single post over the past one month. The mid sems ended today. This was my 85th exam in kgp and by the time i pass out nest summer i would have taken almost hundred exams in kgp.
Actually i dont understand whts the use of so many exams. I don't think anyone learns anything worthwhile in the last two years of the enginnering curricula. Its all about getting hold of the notes a day or two before the exam, cramming them up as much as possible and then some how get a decent grade. Of course there is always a bunch of guys who are very interested in learning and attend all the classes. Such guys are an asset to the entire class.Come rain or snow they are not going to bunk even a single class. They sit in the first bench writing down even the silliest suggestions from the profs. However, its their notes that are the most in demand the day before the exam. I salute them for their perseverance for without them passing each and every course would have been absolutely impossible.
What is the point of reading all such technical subjects when about eighty percent of us would be writing computer codes in an ac office either in Bangalore, Noida or Pune ? It seems all a waste of time. Not that we are very interested in computer programming but the fact remains that there is hardly any department related jobs available nowadays. Majority of us are yet to decide which is their field of choice in the professional world. All of us would like a high paying job irrespective of whether we like the job or not. All of us are governed more by the monetory perspective rather than considering job satisfaction. So, its high time we narrow down our choices, identify an area of interest and then try to get a job in that field. If it is not available we can always fall back on the run of the mill jobs of computer programming.
If u are still reading this boring and monotonous post till now, do waste another minute to give back ur feedback. I am seriously trying to identify some sectors which might be interesting to work in. All types of suggestions are welcome.
