Examination point of view

This is exam time for VTU (Vishweshwaraiah Technological University) students and I do have exams going on. But as I said in my previous post, it doesn't make the difference for the netizenship.

The reason to post this is neither to tell how the exams are going on, nor to discuss how the preparation should be. On the other hand, it is just an overview of the process of VTU that makes every (every should be read as almost every, since I am not considering nerds) student feel like going out of the college as early as possible.

VTU has the tendency of discouraging students, in as many ways as possible. Some of the oxymorons can be listed:
  • It has started Edusat, a distant learning program, from the last two years, in which you can ask questions directly to the professors via SMS. They will answer them online. But you know what ? Mobiles are banned in colleges ! VTU has even seized mobiles in many colleges.
  • One of the goals of VTU (as I understand it, and it is my personal opinion) has been to provide cutting edge education in every field. An obvious way to make it is to keep books that give detailed and in-depth coverage of the subject. But the time for that ? Hardly 100 days, and the students should read 6 subjects of that kind in that period.
  • VTU is following the One for an over rule of cricket promptly. If the cricket rule deals with delivering a maximum of one bouncer per over, our VTU has adapted in as a minimum of one bouncer (insanely difficult paper) per over (exam). But, ridiculously, it is apparent that the result will always be 10's complement. When you expect 65, you will get seal (35) and vice-versa. And one more thing, every student is guaranteed to pass, if not the in the valuation, certainly in revaluation!
So, with all these considerations, I can say I was born intelligent, VTU ruined me !

Disclaimer: If you are a VTU student, you don't have the right to oppose it.
