VIVA is something as an Engineering student you will hate
(I am talking about average people like me ).
So far I Remember my friends, colleagues for that matter even professors were so tensed up during this period.Professors were like the most hated people at this point of time, and students would be cursing for not buttering the professors enough to be in there GOOD list.
You would find all students running towards xerox centres and taking out printouts to fill in the files and taking down same set of readings from different batch , making graphs of the readings from different batch , conclusion, etc everything was assembled like a computer and presented in front of professor.It was like house shifting feel with lot of papers getting collected and then I guess they used to sell them .So u can find out the writeups with paan shops, or chaanewala...etc.
Now we had done a sin from past life which we carry forwarded in this life that we got admission in one of the (in people`s eyes) good colleges (just because it was all girls).
And "sone pe suhaga" was that professors were waiting for this D`day so that they can take out there anger, frustration etc due to working (which they would do only during Practicles) by giving red marks in files, flunking us,making us writeup no. of times, faulting out our semilog graphs etc.
Now the marking goes like if you are in there good girls list u din`t had to study just attend the practical and your viva will be taken care of.
But if you belong to a little lower belt then you have to give viva but are sure to come out with flying colours.
Now the problem comes to us the average people who don't butter the professor saying gud morning , gud afternoon, or complimenting them on their dress even though they might be looking like shakati kapoor, smiling like a fool all the time....for God`s sake who smiles all day??
We were like dirt in there eyes which hurted them and they were eager to throw that dirt ...
The minute our vivas would beI knew that we had to study the most compared to others because here the External would ask few questions and Internals expected us to know everything including the future updation on that technology.
For e.g." external: ok so can you show me how this graph will tell you the power factor is important?
Me explaining him from the class what ws taught satisfactorily.
(Internal waiting to jump in to take revenge on me for not buttering him)
internal: so now sir would like to know if you can draw circuit diagram to give the power 30 % more"
bang and I am screwed up....
But somehow after this incident I knew that everything depends on the way we handle it on the D`day...taking tension was never the solution ...whatever came my way I accepted and moved on....
After that vivas were not a test but creativity Box which was to be opened up and what do u see surprise.......
I have done all sorts of pranks, fun during Practicals...
For e.g during our pre viva`s we had this new joinee with squeaky tone which would irritate you taking our practice viva for internal marks.
I and my friend Madhuri finished our programming and came on desk for viva
proff: bla bla bla........???
me:(which subject she is asking??)...I don't know
Maddy:( yupiee i know it..)....blah blah ....
proff: Lock kar diya jaye??
me and maddy:( wtf is she holding game show KBC here)...haan...
proff:sure
we: sure(controlling our laughter....seriously my ears were releasing hot air )
proff: kalat chawaab...(pitch was really high and irritating with funny touch).....
Even tough we gt ok marks this was the kind of vivas which I remember and laugh till today....
But I miss those days when I used to sit whole night completing writeups,sipping coffee whole night, calling over phone and learning the circuit diagram, even remembering observation table ,etc. Submission period was the best...
