talent returns.......

Ramesh! This happens when students give their hearts out in preparing for their plus two examinations, burn midnight oil and slog their lives out in their entrance examination and finally heaving a sigh of relief enter the prestigious universities to pursue their professional course. [Are entrance exams still there? Or is it only the marks that count?] Once they enter the engineering college, they get lulled into a false sense of complacency ; their mission seems to have been accomplished; and it is here that you know the men from the boys. At this stage, motivation should come from within. You cannot be telling them all this. It is their career and their future. Given the competitive scenario, it is for them to keep up the standards of performance. What can you do about it? Secondly, performing at school level , especially getting marks in our State board system of education is not the true test of a student. The effort required in school is miniscule compared to what is required now and this is where the others are making a mistake. Students underestimate the requirements, have fun and then cry at the end of it all , shifting the blame on to all quarters. What is the use? However, you need not worry too much because ultimately survival will make them all choose some career path. We have to work very hard to achieve a successful career. This has to come from within and cannot be taught by fellow classmates. If they were interested in maintaining their record, they would have done it themselves without any prompting from, outside ;isn't it? You go ahead and concentrate on your studies, do extra projects that would enhance your C.V and this will get employers queuing up for you in your campus interview. If you feel like pursuing further studies also, your grades would speak in your favour. Don't worry too much. They will choose some other career that may not require great performance in the course.

I don't know about his(your friend) life style and his daily life and other lot of issues, so i think it is not correct to pass out a blind comment. But that type of behaviour is not appreciable.

they really need to put energies around to learning parting can come later

rameshchow why not get ahold of some real engineers who took the college courses and are wor king and excellent in their career, and have them talk to the class of kids who are losing the imputus it takes to really succeed in engineering. they could give the kids some real pointers on acing their studies and show them that engineers have a great field in electronic and communications , that this is the biggest thing going now days a nd a good electronics and communications engineer makes a lot of money.

Perhaps suggest some tutoring or assist them with mentoring. Speaking to them the importance of putting forth more effort will be a pay-off in the end. You would be a great person for someone like that to listen to by the way.

i think you are clever. you know what should do as a student. when i am in school i find the same problem about my classmates and friends as you. at first i had try my best to persuade them. you know it is useless. so i give up. the only thing i can do is doing the things my own the best.
