Remembering 1994 Batch
Recently, DORA announced on facebook that 1994 batch volition live coming to IITK afterwards this calendar month to celebrate their silvery jubilee twelvemonth of graduation. Then yesterday, the authorities announced that 1 of their batchmates, Prof. Krishnamurthy Subramanian is beingness appointed equally the novel Chief Economic Advisor. So I started thinking of my ain interaction amongst this batch.
I had joined IIT Kanpur when they were inwards their seventh semester. In the eighth semester, I had offered a graduate cast on networking, which solely ii UG students took, 1 each from CSE in addition to EE departments. So, for all practical purposes, I didn't learn this batch. However, inwards the calendar month of April, I felt that having overlapped amongst this batch for over half dozen months, I should cause got approximately interaction amongst at to the lowest degree the CSE students earlier they leave.
I invited them 1 eventide for approximately chatting in addition to approximately tea/snacks. It was a really small-scale grouping inwards those days dissimilar a graduating batch of 100 these days. About xv students showed up. I started the news past times squall for how has their IIT experience been over the previous four years. This was a disastrous start, since educatee after educatee said that it was horrible, that they volition never come upwardly dorsum to IITK, in addition to they would similar to forget their experience. I was shocked. I cause got been a bachelor's educatee inwards the same department, in addition to I had absolutely loved my four years here. What could cause got gone wrong.
I probed deeper. Did they relish festivals, educatee clubs, sports, hostel life inwards general, in addition to they all seemed to cause got enjoyed that. So it was academics which was causing this negative feeling. So on a board I started listing all the compulsory courses in addition to pop electives that many of them would cause got taken, close twoscore of them. I started asking, "How was Math 101?" It was enjoyable. How was Phy 101. It was good. And nosotros went on in addition to on. At the end, out of twoscore courses, they seemed to cause got liked close 35 courses, a duet of courses, they had approximately tike issues, in addition to inwards approximately other duet of courses, they had approximately major issues.
So it turned out that ii faculty members either equally instructors or equally DUGC conveners (or approximately other positions) had taken a few decisions which the batch considered unfair in addition to that was bothering them a lot.
It was an midpoint opener for me. I learnt that a few unfair decisions tin displace in addition to then much wound that 1 is willing to ignore all the skilful things that may cause got happened. I pointed out to them that they spent close one-half their waking hours on academics, in addition to one-half on non-academics. Pretty much 100% of non-academic hours, they look to cause got enjoyed, in addition to 90% of academic hours likewise they look to cause got enjoyed. Overall, 95% positive in addition to 5% negative. That is non sufficient argue to abhor IIT in addition to then much to enjoin that they would never come upwardly back. Also inwards price of faculty, each 1 of them would cause got interacted amongst 25-30 faculty members (instructor, tutor, warden, diverse commission members, etc.), in addition to if they establish ii to live unfair, that does non correspond the entire spectrum of their experience. They all agreed, in addition to thanked me for this discussion. Some of them recalled this coming together when I met them a few years ago.
Later on, I made it a practise to invite the graduating batch every twelvemonth for such a news amongst approximately food. The sentiment was to acquire what negative experiences they may cause got had in addition to then that nosotros tin ensure the time to come batches volition non aspect upwardly the same province of affairs in addition to also to set those negative experiences inwards perspective in addition to then that they don't move out amongst negative feelings towards their alma mater. Of cast the practise lasted solely close 10-12 years amongst 1 or 2 gaps inwards between.
I await forwards to the Silver Jubilee Reunion in addition to interacting amongst the batch again.
