Comments on: Computer Science Engineering – Why am I in this class? http://www.sharmaprateek.com/2008/12/29/computer-science-engineering-why-am-i-in-this-class/ Tryst With Technology Thu, 27 May 2010 20:28:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Yaju Arya http://www.sharmaprateek.com/2008/12/29/computer-science-engineering-why-am-i-in-this-class/comment-page-1/#comment-105 Yaju Arya Wed, 04 Feb 2009 05:48:27 +0000 http://www.sharmaprateek.com/?p=75#comment-105 I agree with what you have said. A lot of people these days are in this line only for money, and people have mindsets that one technology is better than the other. I am happy with recession, for it will prompt people to join this industry only if they are actually interested in Computers. Secondly it will ignite guys like us to work even harder and survive in these tough times. I agree with what you have said.

Leadership is always by example and our college lacked the same. All those who wanted to change things where not allowed to. IT sector is about exploring and joining hands. Such a foundation was never allowed to be laid. Too bad it is there in our college but i hope things improve in the near future. May be such good posts can help improve it.

Attitude of college or university is not the only factor. I feel we as students need to create an environment which should be backed by teachers. I am sorry to say that even though we tried to do it, we were not backed properly and because of we not being enth. I feel a lot can be done for improvisation by removing the redundant curriculum, increasing practicality and bringing awareness. I still remember that students were updated more as compared to our teachers which should otherwise be 50-50 scenario. Prateek,Good work... Well written indeed.

There should be a major restructuring of IT/CSE as well all the other branches of engineering and the stress should be on the quality education rather than quantity education. India should be known for not just IT but for all streams of engineering. Great post as always.

For once, I believed that you have taken a leaf from our very own college... Point is, the passion is lacking on both sides. Look back at our college, it was not just students who lacked passion or just college which wasnt ready to support in many cases but actually BOTH. I am not pointing fingers, but its a problem with most institutes these days. Institutes should not control the technical activities of students. That means giving more freedom. Though I particiapted a lot, I still feel that I needed more time. 3 periodicals followed by final exams is too much in a 5 month sem. I mean, you have to fight to get some time for your learning. Another thing that I wanted to add is about learning. You cant bypass university syllabus but you need to learn about technologies during that time only. You come to industry and you feel totally blank. Teachers we had, except for very few, were not passionate enough to get us involved in open source projects and all. I believe Kath Sir helped us a lot to atleast come to a certain level. Now when he is not there, I really wonder who has really taken the charge? Till date, I remember that college asked us to pay in order to join Alumni and I still dont see my name in college archive list even after particiapting in so many events! So, the attitude of the institutes also needs to change from "money-oriented" to "development-oriented". But its a demand-supply chain. Demand was more and supply was less, so you can see fresh pass-outs becoming lecturers. In all, I believe, its better to expand less but with quality than to rapidly expand without the appropriate resources at disposal! Anyways, this is extremely well written! Keep writing! And hopefully, someone higher up in college reads your post and learn few things from it :) Prateek, I completely agree with you!
