Placement_tension@Pantnagar


                     Finally we got first placement of Mechanical- 2009 batch i.e. Bhupesh Baskoti. Congrats bro. Tomorrow we are going to witness some more placements after the result of MARUTI interview. There will be some cheers with some disappointments. However, as many others, I am not in the probable ones, so no tension at all.
              A very strange thing is going on now, even the most "cool-headed" students of our batch are in tension. I saw someone with tears after the announcement of TATA MOTORS written exam result . Many of us are doubting their own caliber and are disheartened. Some of us are giving reasons for not being shortlisted that are hard to digest even by themselves. All of us are doing postmortem of last two written exams to find out where things did go wrong and remedial actions.  If someone have find out how to crack technical written exam please contact me, that could be a great help to all of us.
                  The most peculiar thing that I want to mention here is that some of us who have decided not to join any company are still longing for a placement. Why do all of us seem so desperate to have a job? A question worth pondering.  I think it is the confluence of parent pressure, junior expectations and an urge to prove yourself.  Have I covered everything or something is left? Yes, I think it is the pressure of society i.e. lots of unidentified uncles and aunties. These are the people who stop us from following our most cherished dreams and indirectly forces everybody to be merely an engineer.  These are the people who affect our life more than anyone else. I must say the parents pressure is a direct by-product of this societal pressure.
                 

                        as far as junior's expectations are concerned, we are somewhat responsible for it. We have created an image that  we, sir/ma'am, are really fhaadu…  They expect us to get an early placement, they wish us best of luck before every written and as we have to maintain that "self fabricated "image, it create a lots of pressure on us. In the same way compulsion to prove yourself to friends, teachers, batch mates, relatives and to you too also cause unnecessary tension.
                        so, as now more companies are going to come in future we are confused what to study or to study at all.  Things are going to be tough in the time coming. A piece of advice- don’t expect a lot, do what you can and have faith in God. May this drought of job end soon and we all get relieved again… 

              Nhi to GATE to hai he, kya tension leni...
