The ‘dump yard’ of MU??

Courses today don’t work on one’s intelligence but on the amount of money the students’ parents have in their pockets or on the ease of the same. Indeed I, who happens to be a student of MIC, sadly agree to this. Like I have another choice and option.

Communication course isn’t all that easy. It requires a lot of hard work, spontaneity, creativity, apt and precise mind etc. It also has a lot of field work. Interviewing someone is not a cake walk.

I don’t say that other courses don’t require it but this in reality is the mentality or the viewpoint of a lot of other students in various other courses. We have students pouring in from MIT, MUTD to name just two. These students claim to move into MIC because they could not stand the work load and the severity of other courses. As if joining in MIC have done them any good.

It is a pitiful sight. Students, parents’ and lecturers, all of them suffer. Students hardly attend classes. They have to give re-tests or re-do their assignments because either they did not follow what was to be done (obviously due to their absence in classes) or they simply did not do it.

It is so unfair on the part of the administration to allow such students. It not only increases unnecessary competition of seats among genuine students, it also discourages them. Moreover, a lot of these students don’t really bring in good habits with them. Not only are they spoilt, they also spoil others too. It is undeniably said, one bad fish spoils the entire pond.

Talking about their behavior can be another field of research! The traits they carry are worth studying. To be a little optimistic about this whole issue, a handful of students do carry a positive air of doing some good to themselves, college, fellow classmates and their parents too. But an entrance exam of character, now who is going to take that?

This trend will continue no matter what. As long as there are vacant seats, money and students of this kind, this trend shall never die. All I can hope is that some day the administration would realise that it’s high time to decrease the unnecessary competition among genuine students and let only the worthy claim the field. Let it not be yet another replica of the ‘reservations’!
