Oh Engineering, thou truly art a heartless bitch

Well reason number two of why engineering sucks is why I haven't been blogging as frequently as i would like.

The reason; Drum-roll please.....

INTERNALS:

These are the most pointless exercises we engineers are put through. These internals happen very often, One moment you are like "Thank god, I'm done with the internals" and the then it comes out of the blue saying "Peekaboo, i see you"

Just before every internal we go around to find some nerd who has paid some attention in class to photocopy his notes. And inevitably we end up saying "WHAT THE FUCK, so much of syllabus is covered, when THE fuck did this happen."

After the paper, the common dialogues between (future) engineers goes something like this :

What the fuck man, more than 70% of the paper was out of the syllabus

Ya dude, this was THE worst paper set in the history of the engineering course

Fuck dude, SHIT, I am failing....I got screwed royally..

The next one is a classic:

Jo (mujhe) aata hai , woh (paper mein)aata nahi hai; jo nahi aata hai woh aata hai. Hamesha aisa hi hota hai.

So after writing about 17 sets of internals, I wonder what is the point of all this.

What is the fucking point of asking us questions we don't know the answers to, is the point of an internal to check what we have learnt; or test what we haven't.

If you ask me the big guys in the HRD ministry ought to come up with some alternative way of assessment and come up with it soon.


LIKE THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN :P
