^^ Dude I am your advanced version..
I m in 3rd sem. IT Engg and xams started on the 5th.
I hav the exact same feelings as you.. I hav lost all interest in studies..
Atleast i studied during the xams in 1st and 2nd sem but this time i dont give a f*** whether i pass or fail...

^^same here.I just had maths exam this afternoon,i'll hardy get 40\75(which I absolutely need to pass),I have another big exam coming this Thursday and I am not at all worried.

Earlier I used to worry about results but now I don't give a damn about them and I don't know why.Wtf is happening?I used to be a school topper and now I am on the verge of getting multiple backs and the main thing is I am not at all worried.

I feel like forced to study.BTW I'm in ECE 3rd sem.

I too don't know how I managed to clear those tough papers easily. Anyway, all those days are gone, and only core papers are bugging me now-Compiler Design, Advanced Operating System, IWT, Software Engg., Computer Graphics And multimedia....:-(. But these papers are interesting to study than those first two years' papers.



Thinking of giving my modem to a friend whose exam finishes on 15th. Last time, I had done this.:eek:

I can't imagine how a person can be sitting in front of PC all day along, even if you are doing something productive. Get a life. You'll realize later, maybe not now.

How to tackle your computer addiction and concentrate on studies? I've grown up being part of this forum. I graduated 2 years back and whenever I had exams, I'm more active than ever. Even now while giving various competitive exams I relax here. I was chatting with goobimama at 2 AM and the next day I had an important exam.

You need not give a damn about your degree or job. But do try to enjoy the process, pass out with flying colors. Do what you want but give importance to your under graduation.

Well, it can't be explained as it's relative. What's good for me might not be good enough for you.

Some pointers which come to my mind... (reg. passing with flying colors)
- not regretting later that you didn't concentrate on studies earlier
- not regretting that you scored only 55% (50 being the pass mark) and some institutes ask for First Class (which is 60%) for PG admission
- getting a job you always yearned for
- keeping parents happy

But then again it's relative. For you, getting a degree is sufficient. Fine. But don't ever regret later or loathe now that you have this much to read, have laplace transforms or random process to remember, etc.
The_Devil_Himself
Dec 11, 2007 at 11:34 PM
^^yea sure.I think I can do that.65%-70% is within my 1 day\exam reach.

BTW I resolved way back in my 12th standard that I won't regret any decision I take or any act I do.

Count me too as an addition to the band of guys not studying for their exams. I have my MCA 3rd Sem papers frm 15th and every time i feel like studying, i am disctracted by the PC.
But somehow i managed to uninstall all games to concentrate on the studies but now i am distracted by the net. I m thinking of giving up my PC power cord to mom so that no distractions at all.
Studying late at night or early in the mornings help a lot to just focus on the studies and nothing else.

got screwed up in CET though(6695 rank):sad:
landed in IT(instrumentation technology):sad:
I hate this branch :sad:
I have 1st sem exams from 24th....:mad:
Lab exam tommorow(chemistry :sad:)....:mad:
Have secured less marks in 2nd internals...:sad:

The one thing i liked is free internet in my college :D:D ....
I will spend an average of 1-3 hrs online mainly DIGIT forum:D:D...
In home,spend 5-6 hrs sitting infront of my computer doing something :D:D...

And the most annoying things are boring subjects :mad: like
Chemistry
Electricals
Maths
...

But i will assure myself that campus will not depend upon percentage..
Percentage is just for eligibility.....
I have seen several toppers not getting recruited in campus selection..
So, my conclusion is
Study just for eligibility..No need to get good marks:cool:

(wtf?) then in third yr i got relaxed as there were graphics, system analysis and design, vb, economics and management.. but then again Digital computer organization (8085) and Mu-P (8051) ... shook the hell out of me... now there are subjects like network.. (good subject), OS (very good subject), Compiler Design (conceptual... can get tedious at times!), DotNet (haha no body knows anything in it... neither the students...nor the faculty!! :)) ) and last and my fav. JAVA.. (thts very cool sub.).. !

Even i too faced the similar situation, when i used to do my engg. When i cant resist computing during the exam days, i take the power cable and keep it in my cousin's place. It may sound dumb, but that was the only way i could resist and fight this temptation. And i didn't have a lappie back then. So no portable pc problem too ;)

It doesn't mean I am not a "Computer Chipku" like u guys.. (I scanned my all books so I can read them on PC<-- A new way to stay on PC and study @ same time.)

The idea I apply is to study not for myself or for sake of passing but to impress a gal...

Hey guys! Get back to studies! Mera toh aise hi vaat laga. Though I don't regret it completely, 'coz I got to learn sooooooo many things which are helping me. The regretting part comes when you start looking for a job. When you go out for searching for a job, you will say, "I'll take even an IT job". This is for people telling IT sucks, blahblahblah........ I'm an experienced guy in this :p so get back to studies. BTW, mera bhi exams hain :D :p :lol:

Yeah, when i was reading frm the textbook by KLP Mishra, i couldnt understand nething frm the complex proofs given there. However when one of my friends who studied it earlier mentioned some quick tips and after some good explainations i finally got the matter. Now the Pushdown Automata and the Turing Machine stuff really seem bearable.

Yeah, when i was reading frm the textbook by KLP Mishra, i couldnt understand nething frm the complex proofs given there. However when one of my friends who studied it earlier mentioned some quick tips and after some good explainations i finally got the matter. Now the Pushdown Automata and the Turing Machine stuff really seem bearable.
Initially i find it hard too.But i got 60 from 75 in TOC exam.:D

Anyone here have the subject "Formal Languages & Automata Theory". I have gone mad studying it. And we have compiler design in next sem and its supposed to be very tough. God know what will happen then. Networking and OS are great subjects.
I had that automata theory paper last year. Michael sipser is the prescribed book, but its very tough and nothing is explained in layman's language. The best book on this paper is 'anand sharma'. I don't know the exact name of the book as its not available now. We were given zerox copies of it only towards the end of the sem. Belive it or not, after reading it you will find that automata theory is the most easiest paper.

^^ hmmm. Even the type of questions are limited to certain types and i suppose the complex proofs according to the book are not required in the exam. Once you get the hang of it the questions seem very easy and i hope i do well next week. Wish me luck guys.

Klp mishra is a good book, but its very lengthy. Very few examples given. Ask for the book which i said from your faculty. Plenty of examples of dfa, nfa, pda, tm, etc.

hahaha I'm right in this kind of situation well from the beginning of my engg.
actually I did a beginner multimedia course in an institute in my 12th holidays, so always interested in design/general tech stuff and wanted to take compsci in engg but got only mech (since my coll had 8th national ranking ;) I joined, after I joined it went to 12th place hehehe)

imagine my plight.. I was in Mechanical Engineering lol... I hated those engineering drawing sessions It sucked like hell... we mech ppl have an advanced subject in that call 'machine drawing' which was too terrible... I literally begged my lecturer to allow me to submit projects using CAD software (for the fellow mech dudes - CATIA) instead of mundane and booring drawing using the drafter :D and finally submitted all assignments as CAD models...

phew!! all for getting these two letters after one's name BE :D which BTW lakhs of ppl have anyway (finally me too hehehehe)

andd plzzz dont make me remember laplace fourier transforms... its is the worst subject.. ok environmental engg comes first :D.... I had a backlog in maths-3 :p :p salla cleared it only in the 5th attempt :D

ok ok enough offtopic :p

actually there is no clearcut solution to this problem... a good analogy is if we suddenly become invisible we would be just roaming streets doing stupid stuff and fooling around... so it takes a good amount of self-will to do something productive in these situations....

we are much better man.. ppl in korea have rehabilitation camps for computer/internet addicts :D ;)

Well Boy if u think like that i ca'nt help it ...... Its in ur mentality that u have to work from 9 -5 & have to obey ur boss like a dog

I dont think so .... & many of us will agree with that ... didn't we ?

^^its not about 9-5 job or salary to me,I can work with bare essentials if I like my job.But the main thing is growth,I should grow with my job and sorry to tell you all IT job sux in this respect,Stagnant repetitive coders--thats what we become eventually unless somethign big happens.lol.

So IMO avoid IT jobs as much as you can,but looks like they are the only jabs available.

I agree with the growth part of ur story above ... but I am simply stunned by ur Coder part .... coder is the lowest level of work in a development project ... I think there are about 6 architect who are working for a team of 4 developer in other team of my floor ..... they don't do coding they find the solution of the problem which developer thinks are not possible at all ..... Isn't that satisfying ......

On the other part I must say you can be good or Bad in ur skills, depending on ur skills u get a work in IT .... I Agree that we can do much better if we do work of us rather than working for those american bas**rds ...

Anyway Rupee is going high against $$ ... so think in next 10-15 years the IT boom will be gone ... Then we HAVE to depend on our own consumption of BEs

^^its already over with IT companies either increasing working hours or cutting out on jobs.Sad but true.But you agree with me or not more than 90% become what I call coders.And I damn well know what is meant by a coder.A coder!=developer,programmer.It sux but its the truth.

^^ who is not ready to give sacrifice brother? ... i m gettin wat u want to say but where is the room for the original thought???? SAME things we are taught since years.. my faculty dont know abt the latest technology.. ya they know C C++ ... to the most JAVA... but tht's it... they dont bother to read magazines, accept better solutions to the problems over the conventional ones.. and this is same with the IT industries owned by any Tom,dick and harry... (unless it is a good well knowned IT firm) ... they do the same coding since ages.... i dont want to stick with tht..

as devil_himself told... a coder (though a class topper in his BEs) is just a coder with a 4x4 cabin...sad but true..

Well Here I totally agree with u that our education system is the worst in terms of quality

I came from a college where there are more strike & GT then regular class

Believe me or not But there is only 1 professor in whole CSE dept & like that not enough he is from a electrical Background ... I mean wht the sh*t it is happening here....

I can't imagine wht will be going on now a days there

By end of each semester I hardly able to get to know the syllabus only ... forget about covering topics ... even my batchmate girls are far good technical knowledge then my so called Adocii teachers :(

I hav the exact same feelings as you.. I hav lost all interest in studies..
Atleast i studied during the xams in 1st and 2nd sem but this time i dont give a f*** whether i pass or fail...
Is this a common phenomenon in Engg?

I m sorry for quoting msgs from first page.

Yea bro it is, it is for all computer enthusiasts.
