Is there nothing Rajnikanth can’t do?? Believe me there is one in this world… Make him read in the worst University I have ever read… BPUT… Even he would be frustrated to stay in the world of BPUT… I know how much pain one has to go through the slaughters of the BPUT, to be an “Engineer”… I wish our college hadn’t been under this university… Wish it had been an autonomous college as the college was a brand by its name, having good professors in Odisha… But we students had to suffer to be in the chains beholden by BPUT… Even God would cry to see the torture we have to face in this world… A University with at least 130 colleges, Gosh!!! How can one handle that…? Even if you don’t score a mark even in the OJEE exam, there is a guaranteed seat in any college affiliated under this university… WOW!!! Even after that there would be some seats remaining in vacancy, which is filled up after 5 rounds of counseling procedure… The BPUT counselors even become desperate to fill up the seats but not enough students for entry… I think so at last they would sell seats at every house for future planning… :D :D :D… No matter how many counseling BPUT makes, the seats are yet to remain vacant… The colleges grow like mushrooms each year, and pouring up more colleges than expected which grows each year… Even some names are amazing enough- “Einstein Institute of Technology”, “Vivekananda Institute of Technology”… I don’t know how many Einsteins or idol Vivekanandas these colleges would produce… But the fact is that every year a new mushroom would emerge and they add up to BPUT network… They get certificates and then move on…
The most hapless situation in this University is the time for semester exams… As soon as the exam arrives there would be a gang of members who boast to represent the students, don’t know which good-for-nothing college they belong to, would sit out for a strike for postponing the exams and it would be postponing repeatedly until they are satisfied… They would be going on stopping the buses of different colleges and there will be an array of buses stopping at the Fire Station Chowk in Bhubaneswar… :D :D :D… Some guys out of the bus of the XYZ college (I don’t know the name) would be then sitting outside the bus to see what happens… So for this strike, I had to ask my fellow mates in the hostel as the bus would be going in which direction to college, as whatever happens, our college won’t stop running as it is the authority, and I would go there for my pick up… Well, this would go on when the students are finally satisfied with the shifting of the exams to a proper date which suited them… It’s really pathetic!!! As the University does not declares at what point of the year the exams are going to be scheduled nor the date at which the results would be published… The exams are so kept on shifting that finally it would be starting from the mid December to mid January and in summers would end at June… A semester exam going on for a month… One of my friends also once said in Gmail… “IN BPUT XMAS=XAMS”… I seriously liked this post my friend had posted, we couldn’t celebrate the last days of the year when all our friends did (who are non-BPUTs), nor we had enough time for our summers as the next semester would be commencing exactly after a month… Oh! If anyone ever stays in this world would really suffer very much…
The most terrifying moment is at the time of results… First of all, we never knew when the results would be declared and secondly when the copies would be corrected in time… The hall in which correction is being done was pretty interesting… As mentioned earlier, our college is the authority, as the whole organization is solely dependent on us… Now here is the scenario in the checking room… Two ladies seated opposite to each other, chit chatting with each other while correcting the copies, they give only few glances at the answer sheets… :D :D :D… A young lady talking with someone (her boyfriend probably), if she keeps on smiling while talking, she carefully checks the paper and gives the marks correctly, otherwise…, you people can better understand… :D :D :D… A young gentleman, seated opposite to other young lady, where the lady would be correcting carefully, while he would be just sharing some glances with the paper and the lady and the ticking the pen continuously… :D :D :D… Has anyone seen such pathetic condition in the checking room…? We would be just seeing through the window pane clean and clear, but couldn’t say and comment in that restricted area… Now, after this, guys and gals say what results you can expect to be…
Since, we didn’t know when the results would be out, only rumors that it will be declared this week, and weeks pass by… And when there are no more other rumors, suddenly, one would scream out, the results are out… Now describing the scenario in the checking room, I would practically say that one would take the name of the God thousand times and still his hand would tremble to type his registration number on the internet… Even I practically read the ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ before opening the website… Why we had to?? First of all, when the results are declared the site won’t open at all at least for an hour, due to trafficking (What a Website)… Secondly, there were some people who got backlog in papers which you might have screwed up a bit and some news about very little percentage of people had passed that paper… Once, the webpage didn’t open at all for me… I had to check it in the midnight at 2; otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep…
Later on, in my 5th semester, after the great Vani Vihar massacre in Bhubaneswar, where the students who were creating the strike, were ruthlessly beaten up by the police, matters went on to settle very little in the organization… But still, it is not yet completely organized as it needs to be improvised as it is still an organization run by the students, not by the authority… BPUT needs to understand it very soon and inculcate it, otherwise it would be the end… But at my time, I always said “HAIL BPUT!!!”…
