Hi friends.
First of all, I am greatly obliged
to all those who showed an immense support to this blog by liking it’s fb page,
thanks to all of them. This is a huge motivation for me and I will try to keep
improving to give you better posts in future.
Different people say different
things should be given priority in college. But one thing that is commonly said
by everyone - don’t dare to mess with your academics, otherwise you will repent
it later. For good academics, one need to perform decently in exams, so here I
am writing my new blog entry about the most horrendous topic for any student of
any college anywhere in the world-EXAMS!
I would like to start with a small
description of the nature of exams at IITs. Just like any other college, exams
of IIT consist of class tests, mid semester examinations, practical labs and
end term examinations, but some professors may also give a little bit of
weightage to attendance as well (most of us hate this. Why do they force us to
attend their stupid boring classes?) Now coming to the environment during exam
time, a feeling of tension is spread amongst all students. Studies are the
priority and at their peak during complete exam time. Books which were earlier
seen only in the shelves of rooms now occupy every corner of the room with
group study and night-outs becoming quite frequent :P (All this happen because
1 week before the start of exams, most students realize that it is necessary to
‘study’ for decent performance in exams :P). Library become extremely crowded
as students find it the best place to study for complete night.
In my opinion, students during exam time can be divided broadly
in 4 categories:-
1.
Maggu:
- These are generally the best performing students and are called ‘maggu’ (a
common word used for very studious students). These students are the only set
of punctual species left in college (believe me; it’s very difficult to remain
punctual in college). Other students seek their help (such as photocopying of
notes) as they are the only one who have already completed their studies when
others are just about to begin!
2.
General:
- These students start their study about 1 week before the start of exams. Most
of these students end up having decent grades in their exams.
3.
Last-timers:
- These students study just at the last moment which results in low grades for
most of them. Some students even don’t know the syllabus till the last and have
to ask their friends about the syllabus. Some even play games and watch movies
one night before the exam!
4.
Talented:
- These are the most interesting and mysterious students. Such students will
always say to you that they haven’t studied anything or they are going to fail
in exams but only God knows how they always land up much ahead of you! Even
after the results, they would say all this as just a fluke or luck! (Why is my
fluke or luck not this good?)
Well, that is all about my opinion on exams and students
during exams. I hope you enjoyed reading it.
Goodbye
