Engineering - My Quadrennial Trek

It's just last year that I bid my final adieu to the world's toughest course. During this tenure I met many temporary people in my life. Some good, some bad, some graceful, some inspirational, some motivational, some lazy, some crazy, some fearless.

I was a average student in 12th and I was not that bright minded who could prioritize or manage my daily activities and keep a track of the records. No clear idea about what to do next. Then I got admit into the Information Technology department for pursuing my 4 years course for 7 hours.

Ranji Raj Nair At my First year of this course I never knew what these is actually going around people coming for lectures, faculties coaching , expecting something from us & many more.

I just took lightly just that way I used to do it in my lower academics. I never knew the essence of this degree. Just like after every month some list on the bulletin board was put up which shows some list , name of students with their percentage, I was in a comma that what this list is meant for ? then I came to know that it's called as the Defaulter's list, the list which shows the attendance record for that student for every month. I was not bothered about it nor I was interested to know what it was actually.

Then after a couple of weeks time the faculty called for the parents whose names were in their defaulters list. I didn't knew for what it was. Faculty started calling out names of 20 peoples from which I was not there. I was concerned, Oh why my name is not in this list. What did I do wrong, that i'm not in this list. Then I knew that it is meant for those whose attendance is not meeting up the requirements.

By the time of 6 months in December our semester 1 came which had 6 subjects to be dealt with. Somehow I could manage 5 but not 6 I just ignored about it. After a couple months when the first result came I was eager to know my result. I logged in to my Laptop and browsed the university website to check my fate. Unfortunately I failed in that & I was left in tears after seeing that I refreshed the page and put back my seat number again & again to check if it is sure or not. At last I had to accept my failure because, that was the very first time I failed in my education. I kept this as a secret to my parents and relatives I'm a kind of a person who feels shy to share my failures or mistakes which I did. This is secret till today's date as i'm a Scorpio. But after reading this might be a disclose to all. But I knew I cannot hide it with my friends. I carried this emotions for nearly about 5 months till my second semester exams appeared. Then I knew failing in engineering is not new that too in my first year and it is called as a KT in engineering terms for those who don't know what KT is , KT - Kept Term

Now it the picture is even more complicated. Semester 2 6 subjects + 1 KT where I could not manage 6 the numbers game just got increased by 1 more. The mindset & the struggle which I could manage to clear these 7 subjects cannot be expressed in writing. That is my experience. Thereafter, I took a pledge that I would continue to complete my 4 years , shedding my blood (as I have acne's) & tears, in-spite of whatever hardships.

I cleared all my KT's so far & I stepped onto my next level. Then once I thought there are 1000's of people coming and going to this college. Who identifies them what their remembrance after 4 years.

Then I stared working on it people should know my existence even my teachers this was the time I was learning how to be on Engineering and what all you should do to be i n this. I had enough knowledge about who all was my competitors. I made them move to the second place not once but one by one. My academic graph increased thereby & my journey continued...I always knew that one day all my hard work and efforts would be appreciated and would be known for sure.

I never left my interest in my studies thereafter and my motive was Never Give Up Ever !. with this I secured a 2 Nd rank in my Third year Academics...


I got my Campus Placement during my Final Year... For which I struggled a lot to have it..

Then finally... during our Farewell in 2016 I got this....

STUDENT OF THE YEAR - 2016

Even after getting my job I thought that so far these years I have learnt too many things...Of which a select few comes to use.


Why can't I just impart it in a better way... Then This happened...

I started a YouTube channel to put all the stuffs which I learnt & i'm successful in that too.
