The Engineering Redemption

WIth the exams done and dusted as well as the admissions, its time to enter the gheesulands of that most engg colleges are. Great jobs and what nots await the grads, after 4 years. A supposition made at the start of college by one and all, aspirations are aprt and parcel to human nature. If u r a dreamer, only then u become a achiever.

But the world is not all rosy and beautiful as it seems on the surface, i mean there are implications and complications to this world of admissions. Because i study in a reputed (reputation is all it has left) college, with supposedly other 'achievers' , who have spent weeks and days ghissuing and working hard to achieve ends, its a dream that they live.

This is where the trouble starts, for if u get into a top of the list college with a top branch, its all rosy rosy, but if u say mess up either of the tops and go bottom or middle, u have complications. For eg, if u get say electronics or comp in IIT kanpur, ur alrite, but if ur branch is say polymer, env or Civil in DCE, u end up in b/w the devil and the deep sea. u dont get the same oppurtunities as ur illustrious counterparts and ur on the road to struggles. Which is to say that u do end up with a job but its not what u set out for, the money aint great, their is one or the other thing missing. Now i have read a lot of things with people saying that the insti matters, u bet it does, but what u study is more imp, becos insti is a part or ur life for 4 or 5 years, ur degree is a everlast. Our rankings are slipping down ever year, a strong indication of what goes on in college, if there ever was one


all this is a major reflection on a chat i had with my good frd george yesterday, all set to work with a major MNC at a decent pay. The discussion started with our ex-college prez being involved in a paper leak, which has been a major talk of the town of late and has been conveniently swept under the carpets by TOI and HT. Since we both are students of the same college, it means something to us. For if the entrance is rigged, why shouldnt we all contact him and make sure we go about this the best way known. Then the chat went on to other topics, like how our princi talks abt maryaada and bhartiya sanskriti and what nots, the only thing bhartiya is the way the teachers speak english. Nothing else is... wont ever b.... If u ask most teachers to write a recco for GRE, he will write it in english (his version), and if u correct it for errors, he wud still make the same mistakes and hand it back to u. Surely raises our rep in universities abroad :)

The prez was known to the princi and that makes it all the more ironical for all this happened under his nose and he couldnt do shit, since the guy is under CBI custody, he will be back harder (more ways than one) and stronger and more determined, beware Ranjit Don, u have competition.:) if i wrote this in street lingo as it rolls in my head, u wud all b shell shocked

As 'Red' Says in The Shwashank Redemption, "In prison, if they sentence u for life, thats exactly what they take". This college has 'taken' many lives before, mine wont b any different. If i had a choice wud i change my college, NO. Have i njoyed it, bet my ass i HAVE. Will i advice others to join?? No chance in hell......

If profs cant write proper English in recos...thats not really a big problem because in general US univs deal with a lot of foreign country recos and they are used to it.

However your SOP...now thats a whole diff ballgame...
