i was in iit recently for my kvpy interviews and made a lot of observations. some relevant,some important and some utter bullshit.but i decided to put then down.and i hope many people will learn from them .........
1.iit is a foodies worst nightmare.the food there is among the worst you can find in the world.the paneer is liquid or in some undiscovered state of matter.idli,sambhar,dosas,,,u name it and the mess have left no stones unturned to make a screw-up of the delicacies.and how many days can u survive on pizzas and hotel food.10 days 15 days max...then u get fed up of it.with so many funds going why cant they cook up something nice?i got a theory of my own.if the mess at iit makes nice food,people will actually start eating instead of gobbling the food.this can cause more demand resulting in more production.the cooks will have to work more to cook more food.therefore its better to cook bad food and avoid unnecessary hardships and saving the supplies.
2.there is a misconception that iitians have an excellent life.hostels,living with friends,excellent sports facilities,huge campus,.........but its just novelty.after 4-5 months of the campus,no one goes to these sports facilities and gym .forget that,the student don't even talk to any other fellas
there is absolutely no social life in iit.this is the precisely why iit has festivals at such a large scale.
the festivals make students interact with people and improve their pathetic mental state.the daily routine of students there is wake up ,go to college,sit on computer ,eat, and sometimes study...no other activities.no wonder obesity cases have been springing up and suicide are occurring at iit.
iit students have become zombies.their lives are sucked by the Internet.god help them!
3.i also saw the textbooks and subjects which they use.the mumbai university and iit has almost the same subjects and even some same textbooks(those people also refer balguruswamy).then where does the difference lie.why is iit 100 times better then mumbai university.the difference lies in the mentality of the students.the students there learn for knowledge.they apply what they learn.they got to the core of the subject and learn because they want to.if they learn microprocessors they will try to do something with microprocessors.they update their knowledge.the people at mumbai university study for marks,people study for placements.even the professors here encourage this behaviour.we never apply what we learn.we just want go pass this four years.and the few people who actually want to learn something are suppressed.at the end of four years the student of m.u.cant even make a radio.robots to m.u.means a wooden plank and 2 motors...kids have better toys yaar....while iitians can actually design a fully autonomous robots.
during my stay i realised that how pathetic this mentality is and i decided never..no matter what the pressure,to go into such a mentality and become a stereotype engineer.i also want people to ask themselves...do you study for knowledge or just marks????
i had my say....my rest observations can be obtained by meeting me first hand...also u r free to discuss about this if you want to...
good night and good luck
