Ever since i joined the college , one thing always appeared very mysterious to me..I have been looking for the answers for the past three years..And im not pretty sure that i have got any satisfying answers till now..
Well here it goes..So lets go three or four years back into the past..So what do u guys see??You will see those hardworking individuals who used to work day-in-and-out to make it to the prestigious institutes of India..Most of the guys who have joined this college cleared IIT(ranks not very impressive though..) or missed it by a whisker..I could never actually meet any guy preparing for IIT or any other prestigious institution because i was the only guy preparing for entrance in my small tribal village/town (confused ??)..But i used to hear from my brothers about guys like you all preparing for IIT’s or other prestigious institutions..These were the guys who would study 10 hours on an average and 16 (the real psychotic ones..) as exams approached..I had even heard of cases that these guys were so crazy that they wouldn’t care one bit about the things happening around them..They wont eat properly, they will sacrifice the few playing hours in the evening to study a bit more..In short, there life revolved from one book to another,one tuition to another for those two years..And believe me a guy has to be really motivated to do tat sort of stuff!!
These guys whom i'm referring are no one else..but actually “you,me and almost everyone here..”..So what happened all of a sudden after joining the college ?? Where did that hardworking ability disappear ?? Where did the hunger go ?? How did this sudden transition come is out of my understanding..It pains my heart to see how these guys are abusing the “hard-earned seats” of this prestigious institute..I wonder why did these guys take the pain of studying so hard that time , if all they intented in the end was to let-go of the advantage which this institute offers..
I know there will be sections who would say “hey college life is for fun..blah-blah”..point accepted !! Totally accepted !! But is it only for fun ?? These guys are the best brains in the country..But wat is the use if you never intend to use it and just go the so-called “cool college way”..Our main aim here is to learn , make ourself technologically sound and at the same time concentrating on the non-academic stuff also..But their are some losers who do neither and just kill time by doing all bullshit activities ..Why guys ?? Why?? Where has that motivation gone ?? It really amazes me how do these guys manage to fail in the exams here..And the guys i'm referring to are the ones who defeated lacs and lacs of students all over India to emerge victorious..Many of them are state toppers itself..One reason i have often heard from people is that “Hey the college syllabus sucks , thats why i don’t study “..Now this statement suits guys who , bored of the shitty syllabus , do something creative on their own and learn lots of interesting stuff outside..The ones to whom i'm actually referring to are the guys who use this lame excuse to justify their “becoming cool and carefree” in the college..These guys are the ones who “abuse their hard earned seats”..
It is totally my perception..may even sound bullshit to some..But this is something i strongly disapprove becuase i believe we have been given the chance to study in this prestigious institution for some special reason..And the worst part is that this problem does not belong to any one particular institute in India..It is present everywhere including the big guns like IIT’s..It is indeed sad !!!
Still searching for the answers to these questions ,that have eluded me for so long…

Good one.. I second what you have said.. Basically the thing is like this: They worked so hard in school to get into this prestigious institution.. Now their goal is to get placed no matter which company it is.. For aimless folks, it is of no use studying as their ultimate aim is to get into some company which would eventually happen howmuchever low ranked guy he is in class. But let me tell you, every inch of work you do, definitely pays.. One might not realise it now, but in the long run, definitely he would!!
@Pradeep: You are absolutely right in what you have said. In my opinion the prestige of colleges like us and IIT's is indirectly harming these institutions. I remember when i first joined the college our seniors used to say that whatever be the case, you will be walking away with a good job from the campus. Probably that's the reason why such students become carefree. Beside i guess the companies too are to be blamed who many-a-times take the student on the basis of the institution he represents rather on his own talent.
