WHAT IS BTECH LIFE?
Engineering” is considered a field of brain, technical knowledge, day and night quality study.
Engineers are people that solve problems and specialize in making things work more efficiently and effectively. They apply the theories and principles of science and mathematics to research and develop economical solutions to every technical problem. That is the definition of an Engineer. But who are the engineering students? They are often overburdened with their assignments, bereft of sleep, low on social life (maybe) and busy in their own world of sci-fi movies and series. If a student wants to become a successful engineer, they should follow the lifestyle of an engineer and not an engineering student.
Engineering" considered being a field of brain, technical knowledge and day and night study. With hundreds of engineering colleges budding in every nook and corner of the states, it has merely become a misnomer now. Moreover, the level of education is not qualitative; it is just certifying one as an engineer with the caliber not more than a senior secondary pass. It is the field that every math student views as their career option. But, I regret that not all can get a quality college with quality staff. Moreover, going away from home to a college in a distant place is a tough job for the first time. Here I am going to elaborate on my journey till 3rd year of my engineering. Still, one long year to continue.
My BTech Life experience.
It was June 2020, packed up with all competitive and board results and just enjoying the vacations as if life would be the same in the coming months and years. Hardly aware of where we would get finally landed up and which engineering college had the destiny decided for us. Cautious about the career but not that much really, thinking that life would be easier and freer, as college time, free from all stringent school rules and daily punishments. Neither homework nor bulky bags, just a thin notebook and pen. Fewer lectures and more bunks, and having fun all day with fellow peers. June passed with the same thoughts and enthusiasm. According to our state ranks, it was the counseling time to allow us the engineering colleges in Himachal Pradesh. I was lucky to get the discipline of my choice, that is, computers, and that too in the college I had opted for.
IEET, the college's name located at a distance of 120 km from Shimla, a place called Baddi, popularly known as the industrial hub of Himachal Pradesh. At the same time, I was also applying for other colleges. But finally, in August, I had to finalize that college only. I was among the last ones to seek admission, and the consequence was that I could not get a hostel. That was the beginning of troubles. As I was already late, the classes had started. The place was new, and I could hardly find any room for rent. Fortunately, my father had a branch of his office there. We made our way to it and met the office guard there and enquired about the availability of rooms on rent. But he also made a sorry figure. The security guard was living there in the backyard of the office alone in a single room. Finding no last option, I decided to stay with him for a week until
I get familiar with the place and, at the same time, would continue my search for a room for rent. I persuaded my father to do so and ask the guard whether he would be comfortable. Initially, my father disagreed on the notion, but later, he nodded and asked the guard as he was known to him. The latter agreed, and my father handed over a few thousand to me and returned home. Internally, I was a little upset and afraid but externally pretending to be strong and comfortable with the situations. It was dusk, and I settled my bags and other items. Wondering the whole night that how miserable life had become so soon. Got up early in the morning as it was my first day in college, and I had already missed two days. Thinking while brushing the teeth-
Will I reach the college on time today? (I had to find the way first.
