I will never forget this exam......none of my batch mates would.....
it needs to be told ....it's how people become engineers....
It's 10:30 am.
DCO (digital communications) mid semester exam.
Students pray to God that the paper they get is the toughest in their life.
They all know it is got to be tough , the only thing they are sure of . They 'exactly ' do not know the syllabus, most of them didn't attend that class , the professor had announced it to be optional.
But they recollect that whatever they knew from hearsay about the course was not there in the course......that is what they had been told to them by the PROFESSOR.
There is Fourier transform which is sure to transform their grade cards , there is Fourier series , a series of lost battle , convolution which is CONVOLUTION , the name says it all.
The rest i am not sure of.
Mr. X enters the class.
Takes the answer sheet.
Writes his name on it at the invigilators table.
Demands his sheet to be signed.
Leaves.
No need to catch a glimpse at the paper.
Kewl.
Till the time everybody is contemplating the same they have the questions in front of them.
A wave of shock and awe settles down.
Every body is staring.
1....2.....3....4...5...10....minutes
i wondered if we were playing the 'who stares the longest game'.
every body stares at the topper.
He himself is staring at people.
One smiles, the other, total B.Tech smiles.
We congratulate each other......nobody is going to pass and hence relatively everybody is passing. Thank You PROFESSOR for making such a paper.
its 15 minutes.
5 guys get up.
The MSCLIS guys are wondering how the hell BTech people finish their paper so early.
10 guys get up.
20 minutes and nearly all the guys are out ....to the canteen or to their room to play Counter Strike.....wonder what they are countering and wonder what they are striking.
The only guys who stay back are enjoying the cool air of the air of the air conditioner.
X was smarter.....
