These are some of the fascinating events in our college life worth
mentioning. Some of them are comical while others are serious
nevertheless all are true.
 |
I remember, the AICTE sanctioned strength
for our ECE batch was 40. We never knew how 47 of us could
pass-out in the same batch. |
 |
As far as I know, ours was the only college to have taken its students for a picnic to a kids' amusement park, namely MGM Dizee World during our first year. |
 |
Ours is the only college which didn't have
any function or celebration of any kind for a period of one and half
years without any good reason. |
 |
We survived only on the notes given by
Mr.Sivakumar for Field Theory during 3rd semester. That was the
first and last time we took notes. |
 |
I was the only one with a different set of
programs (written by me) in my Computer record. All the rest of
you had the same set of programs. |
 |
I don't know about others but I have not
totally relied on any local author books for any subject throughout my
college life (even for subjects like DSP, Control Systems, Field Theory for
which books given to us were not good). |
 |
As far as I know, I was the only person to
have applied the subject knowledge to practical use during our college
days by designing the automatic washing machine control circuit during
our 6th semester. I had earlier assembled a buzzer
circuit into a plastic tiffin-box during our 3rd semester
holidays. |
 |
Our batch didn't organize any symposium or seminar in our entire college life. We didn't even show good participation in the only symposium of our department arranged by our seniors during our 3rd year. But our juniors have hosted a symposium in August 2003 after we passed out. |
 |
Some people who visited the library only
during library periods and exam days were Raji, Krishnaraj, Bapineedu,
Lalith etc. |
 |
I have not spoken a single word to one
person in our class during the entire college days. The person is
Karuna. With the others, I have spoken atleast a few words in one
occasion or the other. |
 |
Shivashankar and myself used to cut Comm.
switching sys. classes and used to stay in the library in the pretext of
meeting the principal for one reason or the other. |
 |
During one breakfast session in our first
year, I happened to have a rusted iron nail in my pongal.
Fortunately, before swallowing, I noticed it and spitted it out - an
example of bad quality of food in the college. |
 |
Our chairman's canteen visits - He used
to visit our canteen just to show off that he inspects the canteen
system and its services.
 |
Since wasting the food wasn't
permitted, he used to check the eaten plates. He even used to
open the cups in the eaten plates to check whether any person had
concealed his/her food in the cup not minding that he is touching
what others have left out eating. |
 |
Once a student while eating, told the
chairman that the food wasn't nice. Instantly the chairman put
his hand into that student's plate, took the food and ate it and
said that it was ok not minding that he is eating what others have
left out. |
|
 |
Our batch didn't have an officially arranged farewell party i.e. the management didn't give us a farewell party. It was only the juniors who gave us the farewell party. |
 |
Only some of us participated in the farewell party
organized by our juniors. It is fascinating because it is the farewell party in which everybody has to participate. |
 |
Our branch of our batch (1999-2003) secured the most number of distinctions, numbering eight of the total twenty seven distinctions. |
 |
Vijay Karthik's last semester blast in percentage (about 10% above his earlier overall average), earned him the deserved distinction. |
 |
It was from our branch that the first people were selected and offered job through the campus interview in our college. First I was selected, then it was Krishnaswamy. |
 |
The campus interview conducted for our branch offered the highest salary and working environment among the various campus interview placements of our college. |
 |
Our department alone has respected the campus placements of our college with our beloved Krishnaswamy still working in Prasad Studio. |
 |
In our college, Vijay Karthik won the most number of prizes for individual events in the various inter-college competitions. Indeed he was the patron in this department of competitions in our college. |
 |
In our college, I have presented the most number of papers in technical
symposiums. |
 |
In our college, our department (1999-2003) achieved the overall best academic performance. |
 |
In our class, Ramachandran is the only person who has cleared the GATE exam although some of us have attempted it. But he is also the only person of our class to go for a training for GATE exam. |
 |
As far as I know, only three of us attempted for Government jobs, namely, myself, Ramachandran and Shivashankar. Myself and Rama attempted the UPSC exam. Then Shivashankar joined us for the C-DOT exam in Bangalore. But these attempts were
unsuccessful. Then some of us including myself and Rama applied for Scientist
positions in ISRO and NRSA. But I alone got a call for the interview. But I didn't attend it. |
 |
As far as I know, I am the only person who got calls for interviews in Government jobs, namely for Scientist positions in ISRO and NRSA. But I didn't attend it. |
