Hopeless Planning

Its been long time since I have blogged. Right now I am on a break but my exams are on. Ohh ya first time in my entire life something like this has happened. Our Software Engineering Paper has got 18 days holiday Thanks to Mumbai University's great planning for putting all elective papers before the compulsary ones. May be they wanted everyones vacation to get screwed instead of a particular batch who's elective could be the last paper. It wasn't only for Mumbai University(MU) for haphazard planning but even our college DBIT for that matter. According to our college rules we were suppose to be bombarded with 3 class test with incremental portion to be kept for the test. Few lectures did violate this rule in the last test who kept the entire portion. Well we were called for some silly journal submissions along with term work deciding vivas before and during our project presentation and external vivas. Where did the PL go? When do you expect students to study. Well as far as final year students are concern there are multiple things to be kept in mind. First of all they have to worry about their Post Graduation entrance exams which are not lined up with Mumbai Universities Academic Schedule. Then there are campus as well as off campus placements. A huge project to be handled. Weekday college from 9-5. Out of all these students are required some prepartion leave which was not managed by our college at all. It was simply hopless planning I had ever seen. But why did this happen. MU
now takes all the semister exams together. Till an year back they use to keep kt exams first and then the normal exams. This would allow students to get some preparatory leave. Today after giving 4 papers I am relaxed for the rest 2 since I know that there are 18 days holidays in between but then what is the use of such holidays where someone can't enjoy to the fullest. As he/she knows that there are 2 more papers to be tackled. Now our exams would end on 23rd December. According to our college rules it generally starts one week before the official date of starting given by MU. I do not know why do they start so early. Looking at the stretched semister 7 I am sure they don't start college early to end it early. Hope they do well in next sem as it is our last semister. Another paradigm by our college's hopeless planning is they haven't given us identity cards, which means currently I have no proof that I belong to DBIT.
