Overloaded students at IITK

Today's fortune:
Your talents will be recognized and suitably rewarded.

Just now came from interview for AME council. Hah... come on was it like an interview. Prashant just asked what do I know and told what I was supposed to do. Not that big thing. The AME site is already there. I would just be supposed to update the data and forms on that site. Only data thing. Ohh. No deal, I'll do it.

Mom dad and didi were here from last evening till today. Khub sara khane ka saaman aaya ghar se yummm... (English:Lots of edibles came from home).

Options for next sems are open on OARS site. A heavy sem with 24 credits! Only 1 less than the maximum allowable. This may be 25 if someone takes 5 credit course as Open Elective! Now who will disagree that students at IIT Kanpur are overloaded with studied. I remember Dr. P Kumar saying in class that he accepts the truth of above statement. I too remember a guest lecture by an IITK alumni (he is a top-shot name in industry everybody knows. just that I'm missing it on my tongue) spoke about an incident about him in HBS. He met his dean for permission to take an extra courses. But it was never happened and never allowed for students to take more than that fixed credit in a semester. But as he came yo know the man is from IIT Kanpur, he at once allowed him to take the courses. See! IITK students are popular(not famous) for taking (or Bearing!) overloads!
Here is the course templete:
1)HSS-2

2)ME352
THEORY OF MECHANI. & MACHINES

3)ME341
HEAT AND MASS TRANSTER

4)ME321
ADVANCED MECHANICS OF SOLIDS

5)ME361
MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY

6)OE-1 : Open Elective (Means choose one whatever course you like.)


And it's again a wake up call for end-sems. 13 days left. Let's start with the unlucky number 13. 13 days of preparation
