Here is the flip side to the life at an IIT from a fellow blogger...

Check out the source blog: http://sidhupanda.wordpress.com

After almost 3 years of engineering, we’ve learnt absolutely nothing out of the crap. Here’s my summarization of engineering life, particularly IIT life.

What our parents expect.

1. Being an IITian, we’re some of the most enlightened beings in India(read the world!).
2. We’re the pioneer of the future researchers.
3. All we’re supposed to do after getting into an IIT, is study.
4. And we’ve to actually study to get a job outta here.
5. The professors are like Gods.

IIT Roorkee: The people around

One of the best things about being here in IIT Roorkee (or for that matter, in any good institution) is the people who are around you. You come across all sorts of brilliant (and sometimes twisted) minds who create an impact on you. Everybody is better than you at something or the other and you are amazed by how quickly people become good in something they had no clue about before coming to college, except, of course, in the matter of interacting with the female population. But we can be allowed a few quirks i guess.

Initially arriving you get humbled by the amount of stuff people already know, even amazed. You might have an NTSE scholar living in front and a 95% CBSE scorer living right beside you. People know all kinds of stuff from sports to software programs and music instruments that you didn’t even know existed (ba dum tsss). You gape. And then the bonds start forming. The bakar sessions start and you realise how people have a lot in common with you. You start sharing stories and drawing analogies. The amazement transforms to respect and friendships. More of such coochie coo in other articles though, for now we are focusing on more inspiring things.
