Go ahead! And this time, no stopping! :)<BR/>Yes Kishore, I remember that 13 funda.... they used to tell us that unless you get 13, you cannot sit for the exam. But i don't think it was that strict. Coz ultimately, what mattered whether u got 35 in the exam or not! All that changed in VTU, as far as I remember. <BR/>Oh yesss I would study for the second internals only and only in the break! :DShruthihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635222842257175541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-1142968119802841492006-03-21T11:08:00.000-08:002006-03-21T11:08:00.000-08:00Also I think, you are mistaken about the internals...Also I think, you are mistaken about the internals, there was a cut off to our internals. I think it was 13, our marks sheets must have them. Never bothered abput them though. I still remember reading for internals 2 hours before. For the first internal I used to start reading at the coll bus stop and in the bus. For the second one I used to start during the break between 2 internals. The tension and pressure always got the best out of me ;)<BR/><BR/>KishoreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-1142967852015547102006-03-21T11:04:00.000-08:002006-03-21T11:04:00.000-08:00ShruthiThanks for the compliment, I did start a bl...Shruthi<BR/>Thanks for the compliment, I did start a blog once but got bored and closed it.

That was the time noone bothered as there would be many ppl to who would be writing it next time. Infact even companies which insisted on All Clear many times gave exception to these subjects [ Probably interviewers also had faced same problem ;) ]!<BR/><BR/>AJM - Hmmm I cant say it aloud here.My 'conservative' online persona stops me from explaining everything ;) JM stands for 'just miss' though. <BR/>"Samajane vaale samaj gaaye, na samje, naa samje wo anadi hain" :D<BR/><BR/>Gold Medal was not just 35 in theory. Its 35 in theory and 15 in internals. Anything less in any one, you will have to write the exam again. So guys wanted 18 atleast in internals so that even if u get 32 in theory , the total would be 50!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-1142915208175733942006-03-20T20:26:00.000-08:002006-03-20T20:26:00.000-08:00Kishore: Also the attendants also seemed to assum...<B>Kishore:</B> <I> Also the attendants also seemed to assume an "all-important" air on that day as if our destiny was in their hands. </I> - LOL!

RV was and w...Really took me back to the coll days. RV was and will be one of my best places I enjoyed as a student. Right from the moment I selected RV during CET until the very last day on Sep 22 when we had our final exam in *th sem has been a very enjoyable roller-coaster. The results day was the best of course, like u said, the rumors were the highlight. Also guys who stayed near the RV trust in Jayanagar sometimes came to know the results a day before cos Nagendra used to put it up over there at times and then in the coll the next day. But yes the unpredictability of BU was the best. Also the attendants also seemed to assume an "all-important" air on that day as if our destiny was in their hands. The HOD (ECE atleast) wud take ages to initial his sign on the sheets and then they used to close the ECE dept gates and put up the results. Then the gates wud be opened and the huge rush of bodies was enuff to cause a mild stampede. But the excitement of it all is really unbeatable, the wait for the results, the rush to the coll beating Blore's traffic, the wait again, mild stampede and the joy at last. The whole cycle is something which I feel cannot be replicated with the web results. Though there is some palpable anticipation, the overall feeling and satisfaction is never the same with online results. I guess you should write a post on the campus interviews in our coll... just a suggestion though. That was another exp altogether, the first feel that ur efforts are recognised, the excitement of being recognised as 'placed' before most of the others in the coll, the knowledge that future is 'secure' is a whole new story.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Anyway a very well written post, gave me all the nostalgia goose bumps :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-1142873628069260932006-03-20T08:53:00.000-08:002006-03-20T08:53:00.000-08:00hey, i certainly agree with you... our results ...hey, <BR/> i certainly agree with you...<BR/> our results are showcased online and as soon as it is announced,,some or the other freind SMS'es you the grades...so the tenssion due to anxiety is not at all witnessed by us...<BR/> though what matters to me more..is whether i have escaped from any SUPPLE exams or not..lolANKIThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12113910019181755093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-1142849616122595762006-03-20T02:13:00.000-08:002006-03-20T02:13:00.000-08:00hehehe ! bet every Engg student of our era ( yeah ...hehehe ! bet every Engg student of our era ( yeah its been quite some time since we finished Engg )would identify with this post. Most of the times it so happened that someone from the hostel who had afternoon classes would come to Hostel to announce abt results and we would rush to College in our vehicles making sure we passed through every time on the way !! Oh man, am I glad I finished engineering! You bet!! <BR/><BR/>Not surprisingly I have forgotten the subject names/marks etc except for two, each for its own reasons. OT - Optimization Techniques - 94 ...my all time all subject highest in Engg. <BR/>Communication Theory Lab - Some stupid lecturer from Blore univ came for us on that day and gave 35. What the hell was he thinking ! What was he expecting from us?? ...Our lab batch final year percentages went down the drain .... :( <BR/><BR/>Did you guys use the term 'Gold Medal' - 35+15 !! Anything less would have been promptly termed as AJM by boys ;) or the dreaded word - 'Mass RD' ...<BR/><BR/>No wonder I wanted to be in industry asap!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
