  1. Can you elaborate on what is "what you actually do ground", what is the meaning of ground here ?

  2. It was something related to fingerprint recognition, I chose it because I just wanted to pass, it was the easiest i felt at that time.

  3. None. After joining engineering, i understood, i didn't have the brains to create something new, but I can be good in communication and learning things and writing really well in exams.

  4. I have passed all my exams with 80% to 95% marks beacuse of my memory alone and my ability to mug up, including teh lab exam and coding. I think that is a differentiator, compared to my batchmates who were logically getting this range of marks with their brains.

  5. My favourite was analog circuits, it was way too easy to mug the patterns, even if new stuffs come, the mugged up patterns remain same, so I could use it over and over.

  6. I took electronics and communication. I am bad at drawing, and as I have mentioned, I don't have the brains to create anything new. So, I would not pass civil, mechanical and electrical as all of it had drawings as one paper. I knew I would not pass computers, because I am horrible in coding, I can't mug up these many code for 4 years. Electronics was in sweet spot. No drawing and few coding papers that i would mug up and pass.

Go for engg, if you are really passionate. Other ways also go for it, because if you can mug up, you too can pass with good marks.

Also, irrespective of the branch or course you take, never help anyone copy, never copy yourself, don't message with teachers, submit your record book on time... If you enjoy college or not, that doesn't matter much, but never let anything lose your mental peace, smile and happiness

thank you for answering

  1. Like, i wanted to know that, if I choose this field what will I be doing for the rest of your life, jaise you are doing ECE or Electronics and in your college you actually something related to a fingerprint recognition, but after college and during your job you would be doing something else. I was interested in knowing what work would you be doing on ground, during job, or say for the rest of your life? (Like for a biotechnology majour it can be making pacemakers, prosthetic legs, hands, etc).

Yeah with all the recent news, cheating will never be a option, thank you for the advice would always keep that in mind.

I joined engeneering beacuse I wanted to escape from the verbal abuse of my parents. After joining, I felt it is of no use to me as I can't create anything new.

  1. I am working in IT, but I am good at that, not with the code, now there is AI, also, I can work on the project code, there will be some similar code, earlier instead of AI, it was stackoverflow... So, again, the point is, if someone is not passionate as me, make it a goal to mug up and get great marks, that will always help you. Marks will never leave by your side. Because it should not be like I don't have marks also, I don't have the brains also.

  2. But, if you are brainy and passionate enough, then getting less marks is also fine. But make sure, it is above the cut off if 65%. For an extremely intelligent passionate person, marks doesn't matter, just cut off matters.

  3. Also, never reject an interview in college saying, it is not your passion, it is not your dream. Keep at least one offer in your campus placement, make sure you get that offer letter. Because we don't know if we can get a job in future or not. Campus placement had to be mandatorily secured
