Campus and policies

I think this chain of revolutionary incidents happening to our college is for the best. I believe, this is only the beginning of the "Thought process" in every student's mind. When he comes up with his picture of "My college" and expresses his opinions about the betterment of the campus, definitely the system's going to change.

The crucial factor in this discussion although, is not the present but the future. Unfortunately, the majority (80% or so) students at BITS are NOT interested in Engineering acads... They're here just for the "reputation (?)" and their parents' satisfaction. You may think that I kinda am messing up with the numbers.. but take a look around your previous hostel room .. your neighbours in the corridors.. I think hardly 5 in the 30 student's corridor like engineering acads. They end up in taking humanities courses even in Fourth year. So, following this "revolutionary achievements" there is a fair chance that students (Collectively) may protest against extra classes, lab exams or compulsory MT labs or inclusion of courses like workshop practice and physics 2. And I think students are not supposed to take those decisions entirely by themselves, though they should be involved in the decision making process. But such students should be representatives of students who like engineering acads and want to remain in the technical field. This representation criterion is however not easy to be met with our normal election procedure. So every department head/ associations should appoint a person for this purpose.

While making a difference on the basis of "Students' college", BITS should not compromise on engineering acads and matters related to it, based on the opinion of that students' body which also organizes waves and decides when to screen a movie.
