Don’t judge people on the basis of their CGPA, not even in IIT’s Thinking beyond and breathing outside the air of CGPA’s(the percentage) realm forms quite a minority here at the IIT’s. The obsession seems to engulf more or less everybody. Well the boards and JEE weren’t enough. Not even the semester exams at IIT. Indian academics loves to demarcate, decide fortunes and the student’s oblige by craving for any opportunity that results in slightest change in grades or marks. IITians are not expected to be and neither are any different.(After all CGPA is what stands first in selection criteria of placement cell) Some seek attention, some take pride, some see it as opening for better future opportunities, some fear being lamented as under-performers(like me).Yes,I always used to feel inferior even now at times. The reasons may be too many to list down but the interesting thing is that IIT is still not happy with the technical skills and the enthusiasm shown by the students here which is evident by the constant remarks of the professors about the unhealthy attitude, irregular discipline levels and of course even academics of the students out here. tumblr_m31ubx44xq1qzgzfto1_500 So it’s quite to hard to explain the mindsets as in: The upper cream(on the basis of CGPA) who are knows as muggus and studs carries a body language along with them as if there’s only a handful better born souls out there than them. Moreover the placements doesn’t prove their beliefs totally wrong while the lower strata spends most of the time contemplating and understanding how the hell a minor differences in grades matter so much. But the question is how long are we going to persist with such kind of attitude. And the answer is I effing don’t know how long too. Maybe the change is very near as new and young India continues to be bold and rejects the supremacy realms based on such petty points. May be there is really a chance for those who have innovation and creation in thier blood instead in thier grades.There will be differing views about this and this text may invite personalized attacks in the form of connotations and remarks ,comments but the fact is it’s sickening to see people squabble and babble for such issues and it’s high time they understand that education in true sense is aimed at attaining knowledge,humility,inclusive growth and development which sadly the current system arrogantly ignores.And People may think that I am writing this because i am a low pointer where the truth is -If you are capable of getting into IIT,you are capable of being at the top too.It’s jus that either you are neglecting it,or you are not interested in petty points. So,don’t ever underestimate someone who seemed to be low for a while may be they are actually destined for something really big.
