To engineering students(Part-1)

Coming to the fag end of my engineering and also of my student life and already beginning to get nostalgic about college life I just felt like writing an article describing my college life.

Writing of the entire details might take me as many years as it took me to do my engineering as I exactly remember each and every days of the four glorious years that I spent in coll.

Well the best part or the worst part part began when I fared miserably in my PUC with a 60+ percent and a ranking of 21091(I guess I will never forget that number al my life). Feeling bad about this was ob but I felt bad more so because I got a ranking of 20246 in my IIT screening exams which by any standard are better than our CET. The worst part was that I got a 37 in PU Mathematics and 38 in CET, and initially had plans of filing a patent for this cos I was sure no one can ever replicate the feat. But then I just thought was taking advantage of my bad luck and hopeless attitude that I had at that time.

Having got a seat in a “Shed college” ( A name for bad colleges in kannada lingo) called BTL Institute of Technology through CET which is closer to hosur that Bangalore I went on my first picnic to this coll( I call it picnic cos the coll is around 40 kms from mu place) I realized that the college was indeed a SHED college in all respects as the building itself was made of asbestos and tin roofing. Greatly depressed I had plans of withdrawing and wasting a year and trying my luck or lack of it again in a years time. But then suddenly this idea of a management seat struck my mom and started hunting for colleges. She finally went in for RNS for the reason that Shetty was known to us and also Holla needs no introduction. The first time I met him he refused me a seat on the reason that I had really poor marks in PUC. After pleading him for over a week I some how managed to secure a seat here. But the first time I visited the college was a nightmare and this happened two weeks before college started. As I entered the gates I saw some building that looked less like a college building not cos the building was bad but cos most of it was not there at all. These were the fears with which I joined the college and now I am really happy that I did. The best part is yet to come about my time in college and will be continued in the next part

AMEN
