>results are out and as usual, anna univ kept up its standard by publishing results that were full of disaster after disaster. My friend, the results say, is one of the best in thermodynamics but he is not good in environmental science, he failed. it wouldn't have been so hard on him had he not expected at lesat 85% in the subject and a 60 in thermodynamics. Anna univ has been doing this for quite some time now. The thing is that we cannot blame the univ for this. we have to blame all those wonderful lecturers and professors who take the 'pains' to correct a person's answer script ( read one full semester of hard work, hard work and more hard work) in just 30 seconds. and anna uni has made it even more easier for these people, they need not even mark a tick mark in the answer script. who knows may be the person who corrected the paper did not go through the answers, least he opened it, may be he just marked 10 for all the 16 mark questions and screwed up the destiny of a future engineer. It happened to me in the 1st sem, i was sure i did math well, but i got only 70. i applied for reval and got 95, and the worst part is when u get to see your answer script's photocopy and realize that the person who corrected the paper awarded 8 marks for all the 16 mark questions even though it was entirely correct.
My first sem experience is nothing compared to what my friend must be going through right now. i am sure he will clear the paper with flying colours after the reval, but the thing is he has to waste 300 rupees for the photocopy and another 400 for the reval. he has to spend 700 bucks for a crime some ignorant lecturer committed. The time factor is also there, he has to wait for another whole month and from past experience i am sure, this time will be full of torments.
So it all sums up to the fact, my friend and hundreds of others have to waste their time, money and patience for something they were not responsible for. It happened to me in the first and second sem, It is now happening to my best friend. and who knows , it might happen to you as well, if you are from the anna univ (and if it has not already happened to you till now).
All we anna univ students must show solidarity towards such unfortunate friends. We must demand the university for reimbursement of the 700 bucks, we must demand a written apology from the authorities for screwing up the lives of innocent people. Our VC seems to like the idea of adding new rules to the univ constitution everyday, why not he put in a rule, that enables only proper lecturers, without visual disabilities and who have really studied engineering to correct the answer scripts?
Only wish that from next sem onwards at least the evaluators throw in more interest while correcting answer scripts.
