The Big Question

Course or College? This is probably what half of the second PU students think about every morning right after getting up. This is probably what the rest of them should also be thinking (other than IIT desirous who are sure of getting in).

Until yesterday I was pretty sure that I will choose Course over College, but now I'm not so sure... I will try listing out pros and cons of choosing either College or Course and then conclude something.

Course over College....

This is for people who are already decided on what course they are going to take. It is not for people like me who just want to get Engineering over with and move on. People who are ready to choose course over college are pretty confident and passionate about their choice. Unfortunately I'm not passionately about any such course, nor do I think I will be too. Course over college is either for people who know they are going to get that particular course (read very high marks) or for people who just want to study a particular course to spite their near and dear ones (read antisocial, stubborn).

College over Course....

This choice is mostly by people who are neither here nor there (read average marks, like myself). This is the ideal choice if you want to boast of the college you are in and shut your trap about the course. This is for people who are not passionate or completely decided about the course they want to take up. This is for people who have had no divine intervention or dreams in the middle of the night (something short of getting up and screaming "Eureka").

After a lot of thinking "'ve decided to choose college over course, for any of the following courses.... E&C, CS or IS

What say??

  1. Hey!... good 1! :)

    Btw..I wud suggest u to choose college over course! :P

    Firstly, as u have mentioned..it feels gud to boast about ur coll! ;)

    Secondly, course wont rele matter wen the campus recruitment starts! ;)...and its important to join a colg where lots of companies come..to hell wid the branch!! ;)..coz my bro says.. a guy who has taken Mechnical too gets into a software company!! :P
    So.. i guess "All courses lead to the same job!" ;):P


    GOOD LUCK! :D

  4. completely agree with you....

    I'm confused too...

    If you want to get placed in a good company and have atleast 2 jobs at hand after 4 years then choose college over course...

    Incase you do opt course over college then I think a second degree is mandatory....

    At the end of the day all get the same degree from VTU.... but if you want to boast that you are studying in RVCE or PESIT... then join it...

    @niteesh: yeah true... Infy takes even those who've done food technology and civil and all...

  5. I'd say college...definitely...

    cuz what matters is what PG degree you do...

    if you wanna be a chemical engineer and you get a civil seat in a good coll...then i guess shuld choose course over college...
