Quite ironic i start this topic 2 days before the 7th semester exams get underway
But i cant help letting out the frustrations every1 including me have been feeling for the past few days
Maybe its a feeling all u guys already have...maybe its a feeling some of you might realise when u get till 7th sem...maybe the lucky ones will never feel it at all..
The mood that i am in..has a variety of emotions responsible for it..but can be summed up in a single word..the name of the topic- Disillusioned
What am i disillusioned with?
The last 4 years
Look back..think about it..what have u gained by having a Bachelor's degree education from the "prestigious" Mumbai University?
I am gonna have a piece of paper that says Bachelor of Computer Engineering to justify me sitting for hundreds of lectures forcibly..copying assignments blindly and mugging up for exams and writing BS on the answer paper
Have i gained any knowledge? Zero
Have i learnt any valuable lesson? None
Do i have mastery over any single field? Nope
Am i happy with the deal that i have? duh..u dont need to think abt this if im posting this
Can i do diddly-squat about it? Fat Chance
That is what the dissatisfaction is about..queuing up in those looooong VJTI lines.waiting anxiously for some possibility of a good seat being available..feeling happy about the fact that i got a Somaiya Comps seat(albeit a paid one)..all those thoughts are just coming back to me..and they hold special significance when i have supposedly got what i had wanted at that time..
What sort of a system do we have anyway?
The frustration is that when a rookie pass out from 12th decides to take up engg..with ideals brimming up in his mind..that he is gonna get a sound education..after all he is paying nearly 2 lakhs for it..little does he know..or little is he warned about wat a raw deal he is getting..
I dont regret taking up engineering..i think it was a wise move
I dont think a degree from Mumbai Univ has spoilt my future as well
All i am mad about is the deal i have been given..all in all..its a contract..i pay them 2 lakhs..and they r supposed to give me a fair return
Can any of u guys say u have got that?
1.Professors barely able to talk english
2.Lab assistants having more knowledge than teachers
3.Profs taking out khunnas by making us write more n more assignments
4.Prof KNOWING well enough that no 1 is even bothered to write their own assignments..
5.Paying 50k per year only to find out u cant sit on the PCs with net connection..oh no..not even for ur BE project..coz lab timings are well from 1pm to 1 friggin 30 pm
6.Mindless ratofying of concepts throughout 4 years..no idea where these will be used
Case in point.. WHAT IS THE FRAME FORMAT OF THE IEEE FLOATING POINT INSTRUCTION IN INTEL X86 FAMILY OF PROCESSORS?
WHO THE mOTHA$#%#%# CARES????
WHY IS THIS NONSENSE BEING METED OUT TO US...WILL MUGGING UP THAT FACT HELP ME BE A BETTER COMPUTER SCIENTIST IN THE FUTURE?
OR WILL THAT GIVE ME EXCELLENT CAREER GROWTH?
HELL..IF I WANT TO USE IT..IL REFER THE INTEL MANUAL...
how can they expect us to remember that for the rest of our lives..what good is gonna come off it?
I guess this ranting is going on far enough..il do some cribbing later on..
Any feedback from u guys?
Solutions in sight?

One thing that we as students could do, of course, is to foster student organizations as carefully and professionally as possible, branch-wise.
Get these organizations in touch with Alumni and press for greater interaction - to give students a wider perspective of what lies beyond classes, notes and exams. Hold chat sessions with, or email interviews with, alumni who're in the US after having gone there for their MS/Ph.D, and get their opinion on the need to study further.
The idea is to bypass the college, its management, and its faculty as far as possible. Students need to take matters into their own hands in a very smart manner. Too often we reach a stage where we hold dharnas and protest marches in frustration. That unfortunately solves nothing.
Let's attempt to be more and more independent of the college in furthering our professional careers.
