1. Mechanical, Civil and Electrical guys consider themselves to be better than the CS/IT ones (insider information - wink wink) and consider themselves clearing the GATE examination and landing up in a PSU. Only to realize a few years later that the CS/IT has a job in a corporate environment, while you are operating a machine at a manufacturing unit, dealing with the labors OR maintaining the machines. Few choose AutoCAD/PLC/SCADA and later become Sales Executives. (Again, not generalizing though).
2. Everyone around you has landed at the college because they could not get a good rank in engineering entrance exams.
3. You’ll find everyone talking about how the future of engineering in India is degrading and how all of us are not going to even get a job of more than 10–15k (which you don’t believe till final year).
4. Those photos you see on the brochures and hoardings of your college/campus, none of them got a joining after their so-called campus placement (at least in my college it was so).
5. Mechanical, Civil and Electrical guys don’t only consider their course structure to be tougher than others, but also convince each-other why don’t CS/IT girls deserve them. Brotherhood is at par than the other branches because there are no girls in between. No girl, no fight.
6. You don’t focus on extra-curricular activities much and hence don’t participate or help in organizing them. You lose out more and more chances of your Mingle life. And also later realize how those missed PDP classes, not doing public speaking and ‘other than the study stuff’ are now killing your chances of getting a well-paying job.
7. You see everyone dreaming for GATE, but no one clearing it. You’re depressed. You see everyone does talks for not settling at a job less than 30k as fresher and eventually see the same people even settling for 5–8k. You’re depressed more.
8. The couple you thought would be marrying in the future, are separated after college because suddenly the girl found that her father wants a well-settled preferably government employee. And the boy was busy feeding and caring for her baby throughout the college tenure, now baby has grown up and wants a Sona who can provide her a better life. Because eventually, you didn’t
9. Since you have already wasted 4 years of engineering, you would now convince your parents about how the situation of private sectors are too bad in India, and you want to prepare for SSC/UPSC and need more time and money.
10. You land up in Mukherjee Nagar, you see half your college there already. You sit for hours in parks, long discussions and relive the hostel life in another form. The list and the vicious circle of life go on and on. (Though nobody fails at life and eventually find a way of living, sooner or later)                                                                                                                                      -Divya Kirti                                                                                                                                                                                      {Bloggers Note : No need to get depressed. Just search for  opportunities and career options. Maybe MBA Maybe CGL Maybe Banking Maybe RBI Grade A or Grade B Maybe MTech or Maybe professor after Phd or  working in a product based based company . If there's no opportunity then create one by acquiring necessary skills(soft and hard).   There are many many opportunities after B.Tech, Search them, work strategically hard for them. And if you wana join engineering then choose branch after considering all pros and cons of a branch .Read all the 4 year syllabus of  all the branch. See the placement in your college and if there is no placement and still wana join then prepare from 4 semester for your future.  }
