Till my School days and junior college ,I was a very sincere student and imagine i always used to attend all lectures sincerely and i was a pet for almost all my teachers.Days have changed and so have people changed .No one expected me to bunk lectures and my friends used to tease me “common its of no use callin Steph coz he wont miss the lecture”.But in Engineering the story is totally different .
Imagine I was in defaulters list in semester 3 and one should note that i actually attended just 1 lecture of maths
which I considered it to be my worst act coz that itself led to many heartbreaking events which finally affected my semester 3 marks .Initially in semester 2,I attened just 4 lectures of maths .After getting into Engineering,I was a good kid till end of semester 1 ….but as semester ended ,Steph changed and that too drastically.That year my term work constituted to 60% of my total semester marks which is as less as compared to students scoring 80% and more in term works.The same year my aggregate was just 61 % which was never expected from me as I scored more than 85% in my 10th and 12th class.But one has to work hard to get good marks.Engineering is not just blaah blaah and blaah…we are supposed to get going on.But later on semester 3 also led to the event of inclusion of my name in the defaulter list for the first time in my life.We were supposed to write 3 years University papers and that too suring submission period.Submission is an integral part of an Engineers life.Ask and Engineer ,what submission exactly means.Its the event which includes the submissions of all assignments and files written by students along with viva.This is the time when professors can exactly utilize or take revenge ,but not all professors are villains as there are few who are kind and gentle.Currently I am in semester 6 (3rd year ) and I am regularly attending all lectures as it awarded me god marks in my unit tests and same thing in semester 4 where I got 85% of term works.I was actually surprised to see my attendance in my college website because I was never expecting that figure …alas its over 75%.I consider it to be my biggest achievement .Do check it guys,I cant believe this.After getting placed or getting recuited in a company students usually think of not attending lectures ,but stephens facing a different problem.Last month I got selected in MBT(or TechMahindra),I was really happy for that as I believed that I have achieved what i wanted .Lets see how much I get in this semester .Hopefully should get more that what I got last year.Hopes are still high .I dont know upto what extent I will keep attending lectures ,but I hope I should get going around with it.Hope you likes this post .Check out my attendace ,you will be surprised if you were Steph….as steph seldom attends lecture 🙂

Yeah!! Senior college does that to you!!! I have the same problem…I guess we all do! All in the process of growing up 😛
Gosh.. U can go on and on bout havin low attendance.. Hehehe
i can relate myself here.. a topper in high school sinkin down below in college..
i am a school student and same thing happens with me…in one class i will study sincerely and in other casually…any ways very well written sometimes luck also matters more than hard work.
I am a skool student and this thing still not happened to me because i am still in 5th class
haha. happened to me too
i remember till 12th std i never missed a single lecture. i even used to cover my books and carry a pencil box [:P]
then everything changed. i was never a defaulter though…coz i had frnds to do a proxy for me [:P]
Same is the case wit me…..
Happens to everyone i guess….
Cheers..!!

nice blog dear very much related to me also same things ..i like it way of expressing things..
The thing is absolute opposite with me…….
xactly..i was a kinduva sincere student in 10. 12 and then ug course changed me to a greater extent…bt the hopes are still high with me too…all the best to u!! do well!
things change as time passes by..i had depreciated a lot..
its always the same everywhere i guess..
1st semesters are better if spent in classroom rather than going out and getting caught in ragging!
I think my case is pretty similar too…
I was not really a teachers-pet in school, but i stayed out of trouble most of the time.
I think I havent changed much in college, although I dont attend classes regularly…
hehehe same thing is with me ….
OMG !!
ur %age is okie !! my attendance never goes more than 75% in all subjects !! :d
that s really well expressed…
i was an obedient student in skool…
till college happened… even a subject like biotech dint make me serious…
i know how i hve completed my post grad…but guess its all a part of life……………
yes semster 3 was a big mess as i suffered most in sem 3 as i was in defaulters list as well and moreover we were asked to solve 5 yrs past university questin papers
it was a hectic job
