I just passed out after completing my B.E in biotechnology from U.I.E.T , Panjab University, Chandigarh. Well i wont say that it is a very good college but ya it is an above average insti. Joining an engg course in biotech was an event in itself because i just joined it because of the great hype surrounding it and because of top rankers opting for this branch. So in my case it was more of a bhed chal.
The first year was great fun in PU. I met so many new ppl, so many good friends and on the back of my mind i was happy thinking that i have a safe career and a bright future ahead(since i took biotech).
The first year went away happily since there was no biotech involved yet. Then came the second yr when d biotech hoopla arrived and i was surprised because i dint know 'a' of bio. My grades started slipping all of a sudden. Then i thought of working hard but those practicals, i hated all of them. The point was i was nt willing to work in that biotech lab which was the most hated corner of my college.
2nd yr passed by and i saw my grades falling like a pack of cards (because of those practicals). 2nd yr was over n i entered my 3rd yr. This was the time to decide about the future. What to do and where to go ahead.
My seniors from biotech were not able to find goods jobs for themselves so the ambience was a little tensed. I joined mba coaching and i really liked that stuff, thought that ya this s where i belong.
Meanwhile coaching started and 4th yr also came and it brought with it placements to our college. Infy was the first company and it surprised everyone by taking 109 out of 180 ppl who sat for the test. Only 8 from biotech got selected and i got lucky this time. That was virtually the end of placements for BT guys.
While evry1 had 2 jobs some even had 3, v BT guys dint even have 1, so i was actually quite content with wat i got. The year also finished and i decided to go for my job and dropped the idea of mba. Now i am sitting at my place and a month s left to go to mysore, friends have gone to their respective places, it is a very awkward situation actually. Everyone curses biotech because dey dint get wat dey deserved but i still believe that a day will come when biotechis will rule the world and i wud like to see that day in my lifetime so that i may feel proud some day...
