How much satisfaction an Engineering student will get after completing his four years of insanity? There are people who have not done too well in academics but are great thinkers. Consider IIT’s pass out prima facie to have some sanity still alive in them. So many iitians do not have too good academic records in their Alma matter. Nor have they achieved a high-grade profile in iit's. Relative grading, some body has to be at the top! NEVERTHELESS, students like me, move to engineering buildings, not for a high cgpa, but for indulging the brain in some creative aspects. Then this category of people, whom I am talking about, understands a simple reality that a high cgpa matters. To achieve this, mugging the skilled notes and mastering the basic applications are enough. Yes, I am talking about the skilled notes, in the sense the skill of taking notes. Therefore, the series of diagrams, short questions, long questions, Short notes, and bunch of formula, simple formula driven numerical and nights of mugging stuff comes into picture
we give more than a half of our time to engineering curriculum. In return, if luck favors and teacher checks liberally, people get a 9 point out of their burning candles. However, the sanity in real sense is missing. Those who have ability to think hard, they get no hard work to think for, but just to do and learn. No doubt, the knowledge is a precious thing we acquire in the institute, but the burning desire of enjoying mind to its fullest is dump inside the dustbin of the mind. I miss the mechanics numerical I did during my preparation for these institutes. Never ever, I got the chance to play so abysmally with my brain in curriculum.
So hard thinkers have the hard time as they have to camouflage or transform them selves to be a hard 'quick thing' getter(I can write 3 to 4 pages of short-note about a topic here , without actually knowing what the combinations of words are actually up to). In addition, few people who like both learning and thinking ... remains Unsatisfied.
Ok let us consider learning the stuff, which teachers are teaching only. 40 classes for 1 hour for a subject of more than 1000 pages. (Mind you, it is not a fiction or a non-fiction, these are concepts to keep in mind and learn). Therefore, people think it can be easy. Easy? 280 hours and 7000 pages of rigorous concepts. (Ya, ya... 7 subjects, I am talking about). It could have been, but not when we are in actually not purveyed with the total knowledge. As every body knows, whatever we are learning is the course of longer duration. Whatever, the bottom line is whatever we get is an outer outlook of the subject, we are taught. We can verify this during viva, when some in depth concept is ask. so frankly speaking, the knowledge we think to acquire is not achieve neither the mind works prevails. In addition, people become busy in this hollowness of subject only, as matter of fear of losing grades. So time for creative analysis, also vanish.
Engineers coming out of the bricks remain unsatisfied and wagering, as their dreams and ideas are burn inside their body. Just have their body intact.
