3.5 Years - Full with ups and downs.

First Few days in Amity went exploring every single place, whether it is H Block (So called Mall of Amity) or other blocks.
Most of the time in first year went in running for attending classes, afraid of being debarred and then convincing teachers that there really was bad traffic jam outside Gate. Anyhow Some faculty were really generous regarding attendance (and i believe they were also stuck in bad traffic jam someday for sure so they understand).

Everything was great till 1st year, every second person is great then slowly as the time passes, there were only  few people left on whom you can actually trust and other were just so called classmate cum friend who really value you when they need you for some sort of work.
Well, there's no big deal in that, Normal Human Behaviour. Misunderstanding played a big role in my college life.

Few faculty in Amity really know how to take out grudges in internal marks and result, well you are absolutely safe if you know the skills of flattering and patience level EXPERT (No Offence).
Though 2nd year also passes somewhat like 1st year, had some really bad family problem, and finally dreams come alive, found myself debarred in 2 subjects. at the end of 3rd semester.  I would say there no humanity ground in Amity, talked to HOD for the attendance issue and he was like "Beta, amity mein 30,000 bache hain, kis kis ko dekhenge". Well, I must had some misunderstanding that Head of Department is only for the students of that particular department.

Time passes, reduction in actual 'Good Pals' list. Third year comes and happiness towards end of graduation increases, no more interest in hanging out in H Block, less social life, but actually happy. Finally now there were few days in week when I can reach home early. No more expectations from Amity as it was at the time of joining the university.

Last few days of every semester always went in making 20-20 pages assignment which was always just a xerox of the original one which rotates in whole class' Submissions, Practical files, completing auxiliaries. I still didn't get the point of copying assignments, making practical files which was always copying from the lab manual provided by the Lab Attendant.
My overall 3.5years passes like this - 30% time in transportation & traffic, 40% time in checking Amizone and calculating how much class i need to attend to be safe, 10% time in running behind teachers for attendance and rest time in attending classes.

Life in Amity is just about how you survived the entire semester without getting debarred.

MY EXPERIENCE AS A FOOTBALL PLAYER IN AMITY UNIVERSITY

First day when I entered  in sports field, I saw many  guys practicing in field as amity lot of guys believe  in show off..   I saw this thing in field itself,  as everyone  was wearing  expensive football studs and  you ask anyone  do you played somewhere else before  ??   everyone will answer like I played national level, district level  , I play for some club

It made little bit difficult for me  to sustain in football field  for starting days  , then trials for ASET football team for sangathan held at sports complex , from approx. 150 students from all 1st to 4th year only 3 got selected and I was one of them , as my hard work was appreciated by seniors  and we won gold medal also for consecutive 3 years

But I was not satisfied with this only , my passion towards football paid off when my hard work was seen by university coach , same year I got selected for AMITY UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL TEAM .

But this was only the outside view of football in amity ,which makes it interesting for viewers  but its totally opposite from inside …

As a player of amity football team from last 4 years I faced hell lot of problems

• There is no one to applause us , no one cheer us as no support is provided to players
• We even need to beg for attendance to attend practice sessions
• We represent AMITY at national level competitions but we travel by local train without any reservation , sleeping and sitting at floor of train  
• No refreshments are provided for players
• Even it affects our academic carrier , teachers always think he can only play and cant study or perform well in exams , so we get less marks
• Conditions of washrooms near sports complex has been worst n worst from last 2 years , no action has yet been taken
• Sometimes we don’t even get football to practice , ground condition is very poor, every 2nd or 3 rd day someone get injured

This is done to those best 16 players from total strength of 20,000   who represent AMITY  UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL TEAM  

And then they want us to perform in every single match ..

So my journey as football player in amity university is going to be end and I want someday that  condition of football team should improve and players shouldspend some  quality life.

 Review for the page 1 and 2, The Global Times dated 28 January 14

The very first page with the headline as “Be brave, no matter where you are” flashes upon the individuals, who have had the courage to change the world by their moves and opinion. This blog lights upon Arvind Kejriwal for bringing political party AAP to power in the capital, Raghuram Rajan, for breathing a new lease of life in India’s staggering economy as new RBI governor. Some people from the world of glamour are also named, with the subtitle of race to grace, Nina Davulari , for being the first woman of Indian descent to be crowned miss America & Anil Kapoor for wooing Indian audiences with a copyrighted remake of an American television series 24.

The second half of the page has excerpts from the interview, which was caught up by Disha Kamaldeep with the judges of the popular dance show –Javed Jaffrey, Naved Jaffrey and Ravi Behl. In the interview they are back after three and half years with the same format , the only change is the new set , new participants, new costumes etc. they says that Boogie Woogie gives the common man an opportunity to showcase their dancing skills rather than competing with any other talent hunt reality show . They added we enjoy every bit of this dance show with the kids.

In the next section on the next page, it says, Christiano Ronaldo wins the prestigious Ballond’Or, which was held by Lionel Messi for past four years, and about the glory of football. By this, students have ventured in some areas where the ace took over or it seemed so, like Virat Kohli for The Sachin Tendulkar in the Indian cricket team & Ranbir Kapoor for The khans in the film industry.

Also , in the lower portion , some pictures show the hard works put in by the students of the editing committee , and shows how they plan , edit , design and work together  to bring out the best in the global times. Devika Bassi, page editor says “writing, editing, fine-tuning, organizing and what not. GT makes you learn everything. It has been an amazing roller-coaster ride. ”

Good Times Pass By Fast

Good Times Pass By Fast

As the summer vacations came to the end and time came to join Amity, I had mixed feeling. I felt really good because unlike many, Amity was my first choice in a huge list of colleges, I was nervous as it was my first time away from home alone, I was excited to meet different people and was sad to leave friends and family behind.

I remember my first day in Amity so clearly as if it was just yesterday. After doing college registration, time came to say goodbye to papa and mummy. It was emotional. Now I was all by myself between a group of people I never met before but same was for the others and this common feeling created a bond and unity and there was already a friendly and family like atmosphere in hostel.

First few days were sufficient to know that this journey of 5 years was not going to be a smooth one. The only difference I felt between school and college was that in school I had fewer assignments to do! In the first month we had a huge class with over 80 students than this section was divided into two. I was sent in a section with very few hostlers and thus I had to part my ways with the friends I made. It was kind of a new start again. Thankfully with  minors on head, I got a little time to think about the rest. After minors time flew and majors came and thankfully the first semester came to  the end.

After the first  semester I made some really good friends in college and in hostel , this made life whole lot easier. With 2^nd semester on I learnt how to deal with things. In this semester i realized that minors were just minors and not majors. As I eventually got acclimatized to things, I actually started enjoying life. Semesters past, I parted ways with some friends, made some new ones , some really good friends and friends I could call my best buddies. Now in eight semester, when I look back on the things that worried me in initial semesters I actually laugh. Although I have one more year left in this college but maximum of my friends will be leaving this year and so I kind of feel that this is my last year as well. I cannot believe that the people I did not know four years have now become an integral part of my life.

 Before getting into college I thought that college life was all about fun, enjoyment, chilling out with friends, happiness but now I can say that along with all these things college life also teaches some very important lessons of life, it train you for future and it is much more fun.

Unforgettable Awesome Four Years

These four years are most memorable years of my life. When i joined amity i was so afraid of b.tech as whosoever i saw pursuing their b.tech literally crying that why they took b.tech why didnt they choose some other course. Many told that btech is very tough, about ragging and lot many things. But no senior ever tried to talk to us even i didnt do when i became senior. There was nothing like ragging. I joined 2 weeks late and sat silently at one corner. I didnt knew that in btech classrooms change every period and we have to go to some other room. After first period everyone disappeared and some other section came to that room. I was not able to understand what was happening. I didnt knew where the canteen is and i was so hungry and searching where i can have my lunch. First day i just got so much depressed and felt like crying then i found one of my classmate rahul srivastav and took me to the class. After that slowly within few days i got familiar to the system and funny thing is i concentrated more on time table than on studies. I used to type long long messages i.e time table and send it to all my friends and classmates. Then my class was separated and a small class was formed. I was much comfortable and happy. Then made friends and gradually they turned into best friends and i hope they will be forever i just love all of them.(amit,pulkit,adarsh,anurag,drona). And so on my first sem went on. Few weeks Before i got my first sem results at that tine i was in 2nd sem our EVS teacher frightened us so much she said that its very rare that student get all clear in subjects , everyone will get atleast one back and that statement made me so nervous i cant express. Then results were out and having all clear i was the happiest person in whole amity. And from here onwards my fight or whatever one can say my commitment started that let this sem just go  from next sem i will study very hard from the beginning itself and top but now after 3.5 years even in last semester i am sorry to say that i never been on my words or my commitment.  Third semester was a disaster for me in which both civil sections were combined and class strength was around 100 . in this sem everyday everyclass was a fight for me trying and promising to myself that i will concentrate what teacher is explaining but the strength of the class and echo in that big lab room made impossible for me to achieve. And when the results of my 3rd sem were out i was completely broken and lost my confidence completely. But in next sem i improved. In between we went to military camp and the experience over there cant be explained in a paragraph. It was awesome . i wont forget those nights in the amity gurgaon hostel where our whole class were sitting togeather and laughing like anything at jokes cracked by anilesh. Then trip to agra bunking minor exams was also so much enjoying and great experience. I wish those days of millitary camp could come back.and  In these years bday parties are also very special memories. In one of the bday party, i went to restaurent with my friends to celebrate bday party of anurag i was trying to pour some sauce in my plate but unfortunately i pierced it so hard that whole sauce came out at once like a blast and fell on everbody's face and on dress. This was most funniest thing happened with me. Like this many things happened about which my friends tease me a lot and i guess they will be continue this in future also.They threaten me that to whichever level i may reach in future they wont leave me and i am afraid that they will continue to make fun of me at my workplace.and like this i have never come to know how days passed and i reached last stage of btech. Now its so hard for me to believe that my btech is over and now have to enter corporate world. Still in a shock. I wish these days continue for some more time where there are no responsibilities on me and i am free to enjoy.....

LEARNING EXPERIENCE OF 4 YEARS

Four years in amity is a life changing experience & its difficult to sum up in few words but I still remember the first day when I just stepped into the classroom, one classmate welcomed me by saying that “ from tomorrow we will be having minors, come prepared for it “. I got afraid as I joined college  very late & was unaware of the subjects,about the syllabus .. infact about everything.
In the first semester I  got to know about 3A’S  i.e. “Assignments”, “Attendance” & “Amizone”   which are of prime concern for any student of amity ..first semester was very hectic as it was fully packed with 9:15a.m-5:50p.m consecutive classes. attending lectures for so long , mass-bunking the classes  for no reason, starting making of lab files & drawing sheets the night before & finishing it just before the submission date was also a new & memorable experience to me. As the first semester was of very short duration for me , didn’t able to catch up with the patterns & environment of the college,thus ended up with low grades.

Second semester was a bit relaxing but it the was trauma of “the Wednesday” of every week as we have to submit the physic’s lab files & get it checked & also had to spend those two deadly hours by standing  absolutely quiet on our specified positions. It was the second semester only when I started gelling up with my classmates , came to know more  about them .
it was the second year which made me realize that college is not only about having fun & enjoying with friends but also to match up with the parent’s n family’s expectations.it was the year when I started studying & working hard &  ended  up with improved results in both semesters. the memorable event of the 4th  semester  was  the the trip to agra & trip to jaipur in the 5^th semester with my friends.both of them were a really special & enjoyable experience.


Talking about bad memories of college life were  getting stuck in traffic & getting marked absent in morning classes; paying heavy fines n getting through  long procedure for loss of i-cards n admit cards; laugh of faculties when they find students in trouble especially during exam days.
and some of the good memories  were the time spend with friends in h-block,gate 4 &gate 2; college trip(military training camp) to manesar ; small parties at dominoes after the end of each semester  

It was the later half of 6^th semester when   my thoughts about friends got changed or can say it was the polite & helping  nature of my mates which  converted my negative thoughts into positive ones.i  would like to take this opportunity to thank each & every classmate for your  kind & generous behavior.few weeks more & the journey of four years with you guys will be over. I will surely miss you all good people who helped and supported me during the bad days . Through the 3.5 years in amity came across with many  people with different nature, learnt many new lessons from everyone which  will surely help in the future. four years or 3.5 years back when I joined Amity as a civil engineering student, there were a lot of expectations  & excitement in me,but time has unfolded all the myths & wrong assumptions I was carrying out during the first 2 years of my college life. with time I have become more responsible, more understanding &mature, learnt to manage things and take responsibility of family .Even though these four years were not the best one but was a good learning experience for me.

COLLEGE LIFE

The days of a college are used to be memorable in every student’s life. I also had my good days and bad days in the college. On the very first day when I came here for the interview, I like the infrastructure of the college. During the lunch time, I was looking for the cafeteria at that somebody told me to go the H Block. In every building, we find the building name (alphabet) but I had not find the building name H Block. I asked to someone else and he told me it is the building in the shape of H. I really liked the building and after joining the college. Once the college started H block become our favourite spot for hangout. We used to spend the lot of time in the cafeteria of H block. It is a good place to find the things of necessity at one place.

Early days of college was tough because it was the first time I left my parents and did not find the accommodation in hostel and I was living my own outside the college. I found my roommate in the college campus and we become a good friend and my only friend at the new place. Once the classes started, I made some friends. There was lot of work load in the first year and there used to be terror of physics lab and its faculty. After the classes, I usually go the sports complex where I used to play volleyball, basketball and badminton. I made some seniors from mechanical my friends and during the exam time we used to go to the shops for cold drinks at night time. I went on a trip to Vaishno Devi and I will not forget that night. On a single night, I encountered the every kind of weather ranging from hailstorm to strong winds. During the winter season of the 1^st year, we used to play cricket with the classmates and go outside for the eat parathas outside the college at gate no. 4 and gate no. 2. Generally, there used to be whole class at the gate no. 4. After the 2^nd semester we had a holiday and I missed my friends during the holidays.

In the second year, we had the subjects of civil engineering and the faculty of our department and faculties are used to be good and I started enjoying the subjects of civil engineering and classes at that time were used to be fun with friends and good teachers. I still admire some of the teachers. In the 4^th semester, first time in my life I missed the exam that was a mid-term test. I missed the exam for the Agra trip with my friends.

In the third year, I had my toughest days in my college. I had a faculty who don’t like me at all and he used to highlight me unnecessary. At that time, I learned how to be calm and patient when someone is trying to provoke you or intending to breach the peace. I went on a trip to Jaipur with my friends in that year. I don’t like feedback form because privacy of the student is not maintained. Programme leader force the students to fill up the feedback form and that should be positive about the faculty. If it is not then PL know the students who filled the negative feedback about the faculty and then there is more trouble for the students. Basically, there is no need of feedback when you cannot accept the negative feedback. I miss my friends who left the college and who are not with us in the class.

In the 4^th year, everyone are worried about the placement and the future but I am not because I have one more year in AMITY and I am sure I am really going to miss my friends who are going to leave me after this semester.

Four years journey of engineering

Now after four years, when I look in past and think about the time when I was a fresher as a civil engineering student, I giggle. I remember how it felt when it was the first day of college , there was a lot of excitement for the big term COLLEGE and a nervousness for the new environment, new friends , new field and so many other things, I still remember those butterflies in my stomach.

The first semester began with the opposite of the expectations, with the hectic schedule of classes, since morning till evening with the tension of the attendance, which sometimes gave me no feeling of being in college but a high school. Everything in the first semester seemed to be so irritating just because I never used to get time for myself even after having a weekend. Minors were so hyped as if these are the majors later we got to know the real meaning of minors. Within no time first semester passed and second one started. Even though we were still fresher but we had a little of experience of what will happen in the following days. AYF gave a little feeling of college for the very first time. And somehow all the seven semesters passed and we landed in the final semester.

During this long journey I met so many people in and outside the campus, some have become a very important part of my life, some will always be remembered, some I would never like to meet again, with some I would like to live beside forever and some are just like that. i took long time to find people of my type and my group. With time the bond between us became stronger and we became really good friends. We started liking each other’s company and stood together in every rough situation. Time had come when misunderstandings came but was momentary and did not really affect us.

There were times when we laughed, pranked, loved, times when we bunked classes and had coffee in our very own CCD, with so much of relax that we could never realize that hours have passed and we are still laughing and enjoying. There were sunny days in winters when we have been to the balli tea stall, maggi corners, paranthas and many more. There had been so hot days that all we used to look for was AC and used to wish that not only classes should be air conditioned but it should be the whole campus.There had been times when we had put our attendance on stake and went for movie, believing that we will convince teacher.

After the first year, I don’t remember how the next 3 years passed. Time flew away with fun, enjoyment, books, minors, majors, fests, assignments, projects, seminars, workshops, lectures, bunks, parties, treats, laughs, anger, offs and so much other things done. All I can say is that it was not the best time as said still the memories will be cherished forever.

Memorable College Life in Amity

Some things can’t be expressed in words but still I will try.  Amity, a life changing experience that is totally unforgettable.  Can’t forget my first day when I accidently entered the class of 7^th semester and everyone was looking at me strangely. From there started my journey 1^st semester I talked to very less people but though I made many friends. I was the second last student who registered in amity so my first semester was very short. Some of my friends become my best friends in 2^nd semester and i start talking to some more people still i wasn’t open yet to all. Then with time i start enjoying my college life.

In amity i came across every kind of people, with different nature. Amity taught me how to remain silent when you really want to say something. With time i become responsible and started managing things by my own. Previously we found amity very complicated in infrastructure but now i can tell anybody about amity’s each block and can go anywhere in amity blind folded. During 2^nd year we spend most of our time in ccd as in that semester hardly 2-3 classes use to held in one week. 3^rd year was polite i got many friends and some best friends also whom i cannot forget throughout my life.

The best part of college and the most memorable moments are always the one that i spend with my friends. Some like waiting for my friends to come or i should say they always wait for me, making fun of them, small fights, fighting for a small chocolate, pranthe at gate2, cafeteria’s food (unforgettable), and so and so will always be cherished. All the teachers are very helping and nice because of them only i am here in last semester of engineering. Some teachers will always be remembered by me.

Now this is the last semester of civil and i am an MBA student still having one more year, felt very bad thinking of this without my friends but still life has to go on. College life was the best time of my life.

NOT SO LONG AGO

I still remember my first day in college, it feels like it was yesterday. Though Amity was never in my list of colleges yet  I was so excited in meeting new people and making new friends. First day was rather exciting meeting new people in hostel as well as in class during the orientation and learning about the college. We were made to introduce ourselves in classes, which obviously made everyone quite nervous. But with numerous introduction it became easier to talk to eachother. with few more ice breaking sessions I started talking more people. At times i dint know how i should behave just to fit in. In few days we were divided into two sections, which made it difficult to know people in the other section. I did make friends but selected ones in the first semester, as i donot open up to people fast. Second semester I socialised with more people and made more friends and my existing friends became my best friends.Second semester was the most happening and life changing periond of my college time. Second and third year was pretty much constant with adding on of more friends and sharing more memories with my best friends. The only thing which changed was my pointer. Have spent so much time in amity and with my friends, i can walk blindly in amity and already know what my friends are thinking. Fortunately i have found the best people as my friends who have always supported me in all aspects of life. Till date I still meet new people and it keeps my memories of first semester alive. My college life has never been boring and dull due to these friends. Now i am in the last semester of my college and all this will be over in few weeks, but i know for sure the friends I have made here will stay forever. I would take this opportunity to thank all my friends, classmates and teacher for a wonderful time in amity. My college life was the best time of life and the most unique experience which I will not encounter in future. I wish it could extend for some more time.

The best time of your life...

For years I have heard people say " College will be the best time in your life, you will miss it when it's gone" and it made me think probably I'm in the wrong college or times have changed and college is just as good as school. But boy i was SO wrong!!

Initially , it was a major change, travelling for hours in the metro..attending lectures till 6 and then two hours minimum to reach back home. I hated it, thought it might have been the stupidest idea to shift from DU . It took a long long time getting used to the rigorous schedule. I remember getting easily lost while finding classes , which now i know like the back of my hand. The first few months you are still getting to know people, finding people who you will find easier to gel up with and once you do..there is no looking back.

The ups and downs in college were major learning experiences. The freedom you have from everyone, to do what you want..live life the way you wanted to. It takes a while to get used to the sudden high in life due to all the liberty. In the beginning this all seems too good to be true , but then after messing up your results and all you realize " ooh so probably i have some responsibilities too and college is not only about having a blast".

We all have had those days when we hate the college and days when we think, it's not that bad. We have had days when we haven't had classes and we actually wanted to have them because we got so tired of sitting around doing nothing, a bunch of 19 year olds thinking this way is saying something. Days when we haven't had time to breathe. Looking back i will for a fact laugh about all these days.

Eventually in the end,in spite of all the drama in the last four years it comes down to  remembering the events which had occurred and which we will repetitively talk about  whenever we meet after graduation, the mad laughter which will be heard when the stories are re-lived and the same message will be passed on by us to youngsters in their teens that " College will be the best time you have".

Life Changed!! Should I be grateful? AMITY

My 4 years at Amity, or let’s say three and a half as of now, well to be very frank writing 3 or 4 is just a simple click but living it was very tough and enjoyable. Well I will start with the bad parts so that I end my post with good memories.

So we came to Amity from different states, me being a hosteller it was something bigger for me than the local delhites as I left my home, my friends, my whole life for a new one, as a 12^th class student would say “ It was a quest for knowledge, it was a journey to manhood” well a final year student who is almost an ENGINEER now says “ The quest is still a quest, and well manhood, who wanted all that baggage”.

                I still remember our orientation day we got up with alarms as our mom’s were not there to wake us up, I had breakfast at 7:30 which was by far the earliest I had ever had my breakfast after all the step to become an ENGINEER is to become responsible, so we came to college AMITY UNIVERSITY INDIA’s LEADING ENGINEERING COLLEGE with almost every ranking that has come or will come in near future, a fresher’s mind has so much curiosity, brand new shining anti ragging flex boards raised that curiosity to an unimaginable level but we were just going with the flow learning to adjust, enjoying the H Block, 3 days of orientation finished and we entered the mecca of engineering E block as we entered the first shock or rather bomb exploded on our heads and on our parents hard earned pockets, we just realized that department of civil engineering is just 2 faculties one HOD who primarily heads another department and 3 rooms. Ok, so india’s high ranked university did a pretty small mistake admitting 100 students in a department which hardly exists. Never mind our spirits were still high as 1^st year was common for all and the lack of faculties actually didn’t affect us.

We started studying or well I can say about myself that I started studying, “So what department hardly exists, still placement is something which is Amity’s forte” after all which college has the potential of 100% placement and which college has the guts of saying it on national television day and night, anyways so placement = pointer= hardwork=studying. A rather simple and kiddish equation for a first year student. So results were out and first moment of happiness a good result, so mind said great you got good result and according to the equation you are on the right path. Kudos. 2^nd year started core subjects came in faculties turned into “Visiting Faculties” classes turned into “Combined Classes” studying turned into “Self Study”, “Labs” turned into “Classrooms” and “Classrooms” turned into “Labs” but now I was satisfied somewhere inside, maybe because I was turning into an Amitian= Start enjoying stop thinking, and well when you don’t think you don’t expect you don’t expect you don’t question, pointers were on a rise marks were flowing in but as I said “Who Cares Now”.

Well how can I forget to mention the justification of the slogan of Amity “We Nurture Talent” well I came with a hobby of quizzing and well not just a hobby I was good at it and had proved my metal at national level also, so as an enthusiastic 1^st year kid “I said to myself that hey techfest is coming lets go” so we made a team, registered, etc. This was the first time in my life that I saw “Corporate Educational Institutions”. Well I was told by my HOD that we cannot simply go to the fest there is a procedure, so I thought “OK, How long can the procedure possibly be” well it was not long it was really loooong. So long that the documentation had to go through 4 departments, with 200 bonds, 2000 requests and 2 lacs recommendations, it was so long that the day of the fest passed, it was so long that it killed the enthusiasm of a first year kid to represent his college and pursue his hobby at the college level. Though as an amitian I stopped my thinking but still questions arose Why?. And my HOD the sweet helping lady said “Beta, that’s the system her” well so yup talent is Nurtured but be systematic only then.

Well I would now jump to the special parts and moments that actually changed me, my monotonous college life, and made it worth remembering and cherishing. Any college life is incomplete without friends and well in my case I can proudly say that I got great one’s, each and every person in my class is special in some way, I was never in favour of having a wide circle but today I can say that being friends with  everyone is really fun. We enjoyed, we travelled, we made fun of each other and gave each other names that were offending but still we enjoyed being called by them. Secondly Amity gave me Delhi, Delhi in itself is a whole life, one how learns to survive in Delhi can survive in any part of the country in any condition, Delhi has life that is really difficult to leave once you get habitual to it, travelling became one of my best hobby in college as according to me it is the biggest teacher, you come across different people, talk to them, see different conditions and situations and yes I can say that it is only because of Amity that I got to live this life and yes this gave us the actual manhood.

I criticized the system here, I criticize the management but I wont and never criticize the hardwork of some faculties of my department as the things that are wrong are above their paygrade and even they are equally helpless, but in terms of teaching some of the teachers have put efforts beyond their limits, we still have special moments with teachers which are unforgettable, these teachers have made us academically sound in every way they could, they have laughed with us, they have been strict with us, they have penalized us but they are special to us. As a department I would say that I am proud that I am a part of Department of Civil Engineering as I have seen the department coming up infact im not shy to say that we have contributed a lot in bringing up this department with faculties. And it is a well known fact but still I am never shy to say it I sincerely respect my HOD, the only lady the only shoulder that has never ditched us whether its day or night. If she wouldn’t have been there my college life would have been a complete disaster, she is an inspiration, a support system, and she put’s her faith in whatever you do.

At the end I would like to hope that after these 4 years  I take back all the good memories and cherish them and take all the bad memories as bitter lessons of life which were as important as the good one’s.           

Proud to be an AMITIAN

FOUR MILESTONES; THE BOND FOR LIFE


Even though some people think that college is not the best time of one’s life but I think otherwise as I Feel College is one of the best time for a person. I have three points to state why college is the best time for me and how the 4 years spent will be the best ever had memories.
Firstly, in college there are no rigid time lines practiced that means that no one has to stay in college for a fixed particulars time frame. One has to see the timetable and the classes that are going to be held on various days unlike the school where it was a completion to stay from 8 till 2 which was just boring and a waste of time. But as the 4 years of college life are worth it so are the 12 years spent in school. Students are allowed to attend the classes they wish to meaning that they can choose their own subjects after the third year.
Secondly, there are a number of activities in the college in which a student can participate like the sports activities or events being organized by different clubs. If one is not able to attend the classes due to participation one can take permission from the college administration and OD will be given for the same. In this way students can learn and participate in a number of events. This helps in widening their knowledge and exposure to a number of activities. So both the studies and activities could go together. If one is missing any class then it's possible to take help from the professors later on and cover up for the missed classes. This also makes college as a fun place where students attend the college willingly.
Thirdly, parents also feel that their child has grown up so no one in the family questions about their studies. Moreover, if a student is not performing up to the mark then the college administration sends a mail to their parent so that they are aware. They also ask parents to meet them in person. It is done to remove the miss-usage of the flexibility given by the college. This make parents confident and they do not questions their son or daughter. This freedom is helpful as people become responsible and they understand that they need to perform well and not waste their time just in other activities.
Amity introduced me to a different life altogether. There was lavishness but there was restraint. There was glamour and there was hard work. The enjoyment came embedded with pressure of assignments. The joyous afternoons and strenuous nights of exams. Amity gave us life as a pleasure mixed with responsibility. This unforgettable experience called amity will be a memory of life. It will echo in our identity and I am proud to be an Amitian.
In the end, I feel that college is the best time when a person learns not even the studies but also participates in other activities which broaden their knowledge. They also become responsible to themselves and do not waste their time.
I would like to conclude by saying that college is a milestone that marks the end of an era ‘the student life ‘. After that we have to embark upon a new journey ‘the journey of life’. We have to prepare for the challenges of the world and emerge as a winner. The final year of the college makes us realize this even more and we become mere focussed in life.

Keep Expectations Low...Stay Happy. :)

 

Amity University-One of the largest University with the most high tech campus. This was the promotion which flushed our minds before entering college life. The tag lines were flashy and attractive and on top of that the beautiful 60 acre campus looked very impressive. Today, when I look back into my experience, I would say I have mixed feelings about this college.

Overall the expectations were high and most of them have not been fulfilled till date. However being the same situation almost everywhere I wouldn’t bother to complain much. After giving my board exams I had to face the never ending entrance exams. At that stage I was happy about getting away with 12^th and took the entrance exams very casually and hence I couldn’t clear the major exams and I couldn’t make it to any good college on merit basis. (Of course in India we could pay up donations and enter a college but that was not my way of entering so).I was getting Maths Hons. at Kirorimal College, Delhi University. When I decided not to enter the college people thought I was crazy as Kirorimal is a well reputated college. But I did not believe in entering colleges on their name but more than that I was interested in a specific course. I did not see myself doing Maths Hons at all and after watching numerous episodes of “Mega structures” which appeared in National Geographic Channel I was keen to do Civil Engineering.

So here I am doing civil engineering from ASET, AUUP. Well actually I am doing a dual degree with MBA combined but that was a last moment choice and till date I don’t regret choosing this. Now the course structure was divided into 5 years with 10 semesters in total. The 1^st year was the simplest with me scoring the highest (because my 12^th   studies were strong). The 1^st year was the best time of my college life as I made tonnes of friends and had really good time with them. But at the same time there was a lot of pressure of performing well as the fees of this college is quite high.

2^nd Year was pretty good as well. I did not score that well in the second year but yes it was a decent score. However there were less hangouts and less friendship now (which is common and was expected as my seniors told me that this would happen so I was mentally prepared).Friends started to behave weird with a lot of politics. But I handled it pretty well and everything went fine. After the second year I lost some good friends as they were not promoted due to low CGPA. Some left the college and some became our juniors.

During the holidays I also went to experience my first industry exposure, being a summer intern. It was exciting as it was more practical and people of my age group tend to learn more by observation. After coming back it was now time for 3^rd year… 3^rd year was the worst time of my college life. I was pretty excited for it but it didn’t turn out well at all. Introduction of MBA subjects, projects as well as core subjects of civil engineering and the college timings were increased to Saturdays, so that meant less rest and more work. Along with that the faculties were like monsters now trying to get fun and laughter by torturing us. I was really tired of attending college and more tired of cramming all the useless things from which I gained nothing much. I also gained a lot of weight during this time so I was not fit physically and mentally and couldn’t focus well. To my surprise I scored better in the 5^th semester.

6^th semester was the worst sem, less time to prepare and more work and one of our faculties was really torturous and I was facing the worst time. But I somehow cleared it but the score was the lowest in 3 years and I got into semi depression with some people leaving me whom I trusted the most. I was in a state of shock for 1 month. After the holidays I started working on myself (both health and academics) and did not give up. 7^th semester was challenging but there was no excess pressure. By the time of entering 4^th year I had limited myself to 1 or 2 friends and being diplomatic with rest. There were trust issues with any 3^rd person but I somehow managed to carry the smile like I always do.

Now I have entered 8^th semester with B.Tech almost completed and only major project left. 8^th sem has been very good till now and I have been living these last few sems of college life with internal happiness as well as by spending quality time with my friends. Overall this college has taught me alot. It taught me how to fight, it taught me how cruel this world is and how we should be with others. It taught me to be competitive and to work hard for my success. I have mixed feelings for the experience. I will definitely miss this place after I pass out, with loads of memories with me for the rest of my life but I will definitely not miss this place because of some people and some faculties. Right now I am awaiting the AYF ’14 and also excited for the farewell. Most of my friends will not be with me next year and I still have 1 more year here.

Best Hopes for the future.
