Job Dila Dey!

Last year around this time I was moaning about the hopeless internship scenario in the Mechanical department which meant that people got placed in sugarcane crushing factories and rice milling centers. We were so pissed off that we almost wrote a letter to the 'Lashkar-e-Toiba' requesting(read begging) them to recruit interns from our department. (:D :D) The rough draft of the letter once adorned my blog but I had to get rid of it on the advice of a few seniors(POTA & W) who petrified me saying that foreign embassies take such issues seriously and I might be denied a UK/US ka Visa for allegedly conspiring with terrorists and passing cryptic messages.[ :)) =))]

A year later, I find myself in a similar situation. And for once its not our H.O.D to blame. This time around we have the 'Global Recession' and the 'App Gumbal'. I am personally not against app junta seating for placements. If I was in their place I would have done the same. No matter how sure you are of getting into MIT or Stan external factors(Visa issues, logistic issues, funding etc. etc.) might still prevent you from going. As such having a back up is by no means an anti-ethical thing to do. Charity begins at home. Save your ass first, only then bother about your department mates. But what I detest is the fact that some junta sit for placements just for the heck of it- Just to show to the world that they are good enough to conquer everything that comes there way - academics, projects, interviews etc.

To cite an example, a certain high CG(CG 9.5+) guy I know of is sure of 'apping' in a non-tech field(making it even easier for him). Last heard, he was applying for 12 Universities, when he could actually pick and choose. Even though his credentials guarantee him a seat in a top university I would not mind if he actually sits for placements even though he himself says that placements are a mere backup.

But here comes the catch - the guy has a PPO of 10+ from a leading FMCG. He is ditching it 'coz he didn't like the work he did during his intern. And he wants to sit for placements, effectively blocking two seats: ripping two candidates of deserved offers. Dude... one is ok.. why two... That he didnt enjoy the work, is in my opinion utter rubbish. Its not as if he is going to work all his life over there. Worst case, if external factors prevent him from 'apping' this year, he will have to work with India's leading FMCG firm for a year. He is surely going to 'app' next year. And I dont think that God can be that cruel that he will deprive him of his deserved seat in Stan/MIT even the second time. I am quite sure this is not an isolated issue. There will be many more. The last date for filing up the PPO form for that FMCG is October end. I hope some sense gets to him.
