Placement Experience - III

It has been some time now since my placements have been over still i think about many incidents which used to happen regularly...
-Pre-Placement Talk - In which every company tried to prove to us that they were not losers through formal presentations ,now we students slept for most part of the presentation till a magic word used to ring in our heads "Ur package".This referred to the slide which displayed the package which the company would be offering to us and then suddenly you could hear the commotion of every body waking up in the back with sounds like .... "what" ...."where" ...."Mummy i dont want to go to school today" ....."bas(only that much)".

-Dummies - In IIITA even the 15th company visiting for placements is told that they are the second company to visit ... so obviously the company expects more than 17 guys to sit in their exam ....hence the concept of dummy evolved..a dummy is a Smartass who has aldready got placed and who again sits in the exam to underperform so that the jackass also looks like a smartass . Now one might imagine that being a dummy would be the easiest thing to do ,afterall how much hard would it be to suffer from a failure .Let me enlighten you then ..
Being a dummy u have to simulate a logical being that is also stupid.But there's the problem , in most of the company's written exam the question are objective with no negative marking..
and in no right state of mind would a logical being leave questions unanswered no matter how stupid he is. Hence you have to attend all questions .Now you cannot mark answers randomly because the original candidates siting besides you will not do good in his exam and luckily or unluckily you might pass in the exam and fail in ur objective ... Hence you have to make sure that the answers you mark are actually incorrect , the only way to do which is to calculate the correct answer in the first place.Hence the dummies end up doing the most hard work, actually solving the paper and then actually failing in it ..only to get no credit or praise in the end.
Hence its not easy to even fail in IIITA.
