exams....blitz krieg at vjti...

as an ideal mumbai engineering student.....i believe (not only believe but also follow ardently)
in the universal engineerin credo of "studying in eleventh hour to save you skin" policy....so when exams approached suddenly....
yeah....exams do appear suddenly like some spooky ghost in some equally spooky hitchcock movie.....n when they come...u always knw its unfailingly gonna hit u hard....its funny feeling of prediction...comes only after experience of first year...
But silver lining at VJTI is....unlike university engineering exams ( which last almost a month...its said that its like a month long festival...when sometimes u have enuff holiday for a paper so much so...ppl prefer going 4 outing on weekend..cum back n resume wid exams)...exam affairs at VJTI is weekly matter.....
here are some of its characteristics:

1) the exam are announced way in advance like when the year starts...(.its like having nursery admissions for ur baby...when u can see the baby only in a sonograph.).but our new director...prefers to do just the same

2) the exams are generally immediately after sem lectures...i mean no PL...(huh...PL..ie preparatory leave is a luxury provided to pampered students of MU, which lasts almost a month and again last resort n opportunity to students to finally buy books n atleast read them)..so no PL 4 vjti ppl....hardly a week b4 exam starts...so no fuss bout having more time n wasting it..

3) the exams are back-to back...ie just a gap of 1 day for each paper...so just 1 day 2 study...so u dnt get bored....n b4 u feel the pain bout exams ..u r already plannin where 2 go wid ur frens after the xams..

n whats more...we have results within a week....huh....all in all a blitz-krieg....

trust me the profs (its considered derogatory 2 call them by that name) are always cursing our new dir..who makes them correct such papers within a week.....as compared to earlier...when a lore says " a vjti prof if lcuky can at the max in his full efficiency(?) correct 1 paper per day...,,phew it was joked that earlier sems results wud come just b4 next sems exams....so those doubtful of kt wud study without knwin results...hehe..
