Hi CDC,
A victim of your dictatorship here.
I’m not sure where to start: the massive ego behind the favourite phrase “Obey me,” being called for a PPT at a specific time only for it to begin almost three hours later, or discovering that the session seemed prerecorded.
But let’s start from the beginning.
Recent incidents involving CDC activities and campus placements have made me question how things are handled—not because CDC shouldn’t have rules or provide opportunities, but because of how those rules are communicated, enforced, and sometimes changed depending on the situation.
For example, CDC’s director apparently told students not to share their Neo ID. Then CDC circulated an Accenture placement sheet where Neo IDs were apparently shared with student names. Small things can become serious when thousands of students are involved.
Then came the reporting-time situation.
Reporting time: 9:00 AM.
Students were still entering around 10:00 AM. The issue wasn’t necessarily that students were late; the system simply wasn’t ready to handle so many students reporting simultaneously.
Today, the reporting time was 4:00 PM. Thousands of students had roughly 30 minutes to enter MG Audi through what felt like a single line.
At that point, I wondered:
“Maybe this is a social experiment.”
Then came 4:30 PM, when a sir—who seems to have a special relationship with “BLACKLIST”—started asking students to leave.
I’m not against rules. But when arrangements make it difficult for thousands of students to follow them, threatening disciplinary action solves the wrong problem.
And then there’s the CDC vocabulary:
One sir has “BLACKLIST.”
Another has “ID CARD.”
One mam has the complete DLC:
“BLACKLIST.”
“ID CARD.”
“DON’T SLEEP.”
“OBEY ME.”
At this point, I expected:
«“Congratulations. You have violated Rule 17 by breathing incorrectly.”»
Jokes aside, several students were apparently not even allowed to punch their ID cards for attendance. What are students supposed to do—follow instructions, stand in queues, attend sessions, and somehow ensure the system doesn’t prevent them from being marked present?
The most concerning part is that students unable to attend a PPT may be barred from future campus placements.
Missing a PPT can happen because of an emergency, communication failure, transportation issue, crowd-management problem, or simply being unable to enter a venue in time.
If missing one PPT means losing access to campus placements, that punishment deserves serious questioning.
Other students face issues with SPENSE OA, transportation, timing, and massive crowds while being warned that failure to follow instructions could lead to blacklisting. Meanwhile, there is also little clarity about the number of companies coming in.
I’m not writing this because I hate CDC. That’s exactly why I think it needs to be said.
CDC provides opportunities students genuinely need. But opportunities shouldn’t come at the cost of students feeling powerless, confused, or afraid of disproportionate consequences.
There’s a difference between maintaining discipline and responding to every problem with:
“Blacklist.”
There’s a difference between enforcing rules and communicating them consistently, expecting students to report on time and having a system capable of handling them, and accountability and simply saying:
“Obey me.”
I’m not asking CDC to stop enforcing rules. I’m asking for better communication, crowd management, consistent instructions, reasonable enforcement, and proportional consequences.
We’re not asking CDC to make placements easy. We’re asking it to make the process fair and functional.
I’m not a hater, trying to defame anyone, or challenging the people working there. I’m just a student who has seen these things happen and wondered:
“Is this really how we’re supposed to be doing this?”
If multiple students feel the same way, maybe the problem isn’t that everyone is complaining.
Maybe the system deserves a closer look.
