My last practical exams....

I was having my last practical exams on the last week of October..Ya tat was my last practiclas in all my 4 yrs of engineering....

I was hopin to get good marks in those exams and prepared well.I even helped out a few of my friends with some doubts. Then i was confident of everythin except viva. I had a fair idea of the subject so i was feelin tat i could face viva easily.but tat external had other ideas..Especially the external who came for Antenna lab..She was HOD of ECE dept in SSN college... She s a real show of..She didnt ask any conceptual questions at all..She straight away asked wat s the formula for efficiency and directivity of dipole antenna...I somehow answered tat.Then came questions regardin formula for all other antennas like helical,horn etc.etc...She didnt stop there she also wanted to know the uses of those antennas..she meant the latest uses tat were not mentioned in the text books..Ah horrible..Even our sir was upset...He couldnt do anythin to help us..He thought of giving as much marks in practicals as possible..He gave 90+viva marks initially..But that external questioned him tat how can he put 90 for a person who has got ery low viva marks......She was cruel indeed...The highest marks for viva tat we got was 6.....

The revenge.....Thou i cant call it revenge exactly...Our sir luckily got an opportunity to go as an external for CS dept of SSN coll..I would ve been happy if it was ECE...Anyway it was SSN..Tat was enough...Our sir did the same thing the SSN ECE HOD did for us...He siad that the students there were worse than us..They had superior insrtuments,staff,infrastructure and everything but the students were good only at mugging up...In microprocessor lab he asked the students to write a few silly progams tat were not in their records..They were not able to do it...Our sir being a very 'righteous' man gave zeroes too in viva....

Overall who r the sufferers..Its us - the students.... When externals ask something regarding a concept its accpetable in viva..But when they start asking for formula as SSN ECE HOD asked or page numbers of answers which our sir asked (though he asked it when students sad tat they mugged up the answers..) its not accpeptable....

Anyway the practicals are over and i am saying bye for those labs,observations,records,model exams and vivas.....bye bye..
