Engg in a state called Tamil Nadu.....

Three years of engineering education is over. And what have I learnt?? Here is a recap…..

- Examinations are the birthplace of mega^∞ serial story writers. Man the stories that are concocted in the examination are out of the world and unless you are a good writer and write stories for no less than forty pages, you will never make it big. I am one of those continuous flop producing writers mind you, so it has been a bitter experience seeing all those talented folk fly past me… sniff sniff….

- Whatever you study in the fours years of college will not in the least help you in your future, for the simple fact that, whatever you studied ‘was’ the latest in technology approximately half a century ago.

- Attendance is a matter of personal opinion. The staff’s personal opinion. If he thinks you need attendance to get through college, you are screwed. You get no internals. If the staff member is a pretty lenient guy whose just whiling away his life happily in college like several of my dept. staff, you get away easy..

- Inference from previous fact. Sign a contract with Amul. Because you’ll need all the butter that you can muster to butter up the staff. Apply as required(butter).

- As each semester passes by, study holidays tend to seem more like a prelude to what you can expect to do during the hols rather than a time when you actually get down to doing some studying…

- And finally, It’s a scam. Engineering education in Tamil Nadu is a SCAM!!! If you ask why? For heaven’s sake aren’t the above points enough?? Now I know why the industry complains about lack of graduates with proper skills. All the skills we develop thro’ 4 years are laziness, laziness and more laziness……..

Right you are. Get into the good books of teachers else be prepared for the consequences and yeah as the course draws to a close, patience just wears out. Oh yes, the more your papers weigh, the more you score.Dumb dumb logic .God knows where all this kind of education is gonna go end up?? But, very aptly written I must say. :)

i am in total agreement with what u have written. these days, nobody takes up teaching with an interest. we can t expect to have good lecturers if such a trend continues.

great one, the industry is fast paced and education in college is just laziness personified.

forget the exams,sem hols and the most laughed about - mid sem!

Hilarious :D .But,this is not a state in just TN but everywhere.Engineering colleges are mushrooming at a rate that would perplex even bacterias.The product you get at the end is half-baked and unadulterated.
