our story... (part 3)

5th Sem:

Most people would consider this as their favourite sem . The most memorible by far .It changed the face of our class. It began with a bang...Making groups for CPL mini project. New friends suddenly emerged. To add to that some people were taking the GRE. It was all smoke widout fire really cause barely anyone actually did the project themselves. Those who did do it themselves found it to be an enriching experience (in more ways than one).
The 'next big thing' was PCT .
Case 1: the group (eventually class) discussions , Personal Interviews and other such sessions got our confidence going. And for the big finish we had a group presentation and reports. We learnt a great deal about working as a team (ok some of usreally did!). Actually we had an even bigger finish to the big finish ...
Case 2:The 'Thank You' speeches for our dear teacher ... completely heart-felt (proof:hand on the heart). We all shared a 'moment'
Case 3: Another defining moment was the midterm when GRE ppl outscored those who attended the whole sem and taught them one day prior. The 'essence' of engineering. The finale was the panic of submitting CPL project : People running helter scelter to Jude and back , Others deciding what to show and what not , and a few wondering how to display score in a Chess Game !!!
Case 4: And ofcourse how can the sem be complete without the mention of Kriti ma’am! Someone really outstanding-at dressing up obviously!
All in all a sem to be remembered : A sem of real bonding and the beginning of new things. It had done its bit by sowing the seeds for the last chapter of our story.

6th Sem:

Things had changed now. But not the combined birthday treats. Most people will remember this sem as the one with maximum to study(6 subjects + viva/Pracs).
But the Nainitaal trip had provided a perfect break. This was the sem when our forum offcially came into existance . And oh dear the gossip forum caused such an earthquake. It became so degrading due to pent up anger that it had to be eventually locked.
Speaking of the subjects few of them stand out: Microprocessors. We had 3 different teachers and of course OOAD in which our prof wasnt allowed in the lift cause he could not convince our liftman that he wasnt a student. ITA was funny too. We just refused to enter the labs for pracs with 'Prof Chintan' despite his constant pleading.
And then there were the DSP vivas with dracula(red hair external). She actually threatened to fail people. At the end of that we had our placements: Tcs, Infosys , Accenture and others which left us in mixed emotions as if it was all going to end soon.
