PS life is ever so interesting...what with all kinds of evaluation components that we just cannot get rid of...don't seem to understand why we need to be giving a quiz(!) ...pathetic questions based on the station...One of our questions was...'How many people work in such n such wing of this company....Isnt there a limit to these excesses?!
Right next in line was GD...lachcha to be precise....And the topic was...'BITS Admission System..'
Have lost count on the number of times this topic featured in the bhawans' GD sessions ! The topic being so familiar...was just not sufficient to carry on the 'discussion' for more than 10 mins. It was then that the PS - Instructor mentioned that there were 10 more minutes left....(Nonsense! that seemed like eternity!) ...Continue man...now what?? Do we need entrance examinations?? Or do we keep a ceiling on the number of students who can come from a particular state?? No no..that would not be fair...As with all GDs...this seemed to be meandering on a different course....Does ABC college in XYZ state follow a 'good' admission procedure....? Man...Why does BITS need to worry about it??!! and then on courses in BITS...first the admission..and THEN the courses...doesnt that seem logical?! One peculiar thing about this GD was that there WAS a conclusion...(!)..a pretty interesting one too....It was to let only some students take an online entrance test...The test takers would be those who had a minimum percentile (decided by BITS) in their board exams..!
Coming back to the issue of evaluation components in PS...esp PS-2...it sure requires some thought! The first quiz...on the PS station can easily be done away with...ok..GD's neednt be scrapped...thats a nice entertainment...A whole evening can be killed on the pretext of GD...!!
Guess even seminars have to be put up with...but that depends on whether you are really doing work or not...In case the PS project is similar to the sops and lops in BITS...then what can you actually present for a mid sem seminar?! This is not to say that all sops and lops are vetti...but majority seem to be..!
Well...there is more to the story than this.....will continue later...!
