(I havent included any pictures because I dont want to see my college when after 2 years I open this post, as anything related to college gives me blues.) So you have to read this rather boring post without any pictures.

A few things specially for this second part of the post:

1. This post can get very harsh at times (even heartbreaking if you are in my class as you may find a mention of yourself, if not today, may be later, as this post will be updated from time to time.), but you have an option to not read.

This is going to be an honest, at-your-face kind of post. I will say what I want to and I dont care what you think because I dont care anything about anyone (barring 2-3 people). There you go, you see, this is going to be a war! Did I mention I dont care about JIITians? (you can close this page now! ) No? Okay your wish. Just be thick skinned. (2-3 people in my class are exempted from the “general” bashing. I dont really take you guys as friends. Why? You will find out below, but atleast you guys are better than the rest. If you can make out that I am talking about you by the way I talk to you in class, then its good, otherwise, I can not mention)

2. I could have named people directly in this post as I named them in the last post but I have decided against it. It’s not because I dont want to piss you off or I am afraid of you or your reaction. lol. But I dont want to spoil names of people anyway, no matter what or how you made me feel knowingly or un-knowingly, though it is well within my rights to name people. But I dont want to indulge in humiliation and become what I dont want to. I will just refer to people as Mr X or Ms X. I will try to keep it civil and I expect the same (if you have anything to say).

3. If you are a JIITian, please please dont take this post as if I am pleading for pity. I am not pleading to you to talk to me. I dont want to!  If you know how pissed of I am by the “happening crowd” in JIIT, you will not mistake my rant for self pity anyway. Please please dont take it as if I want to talk more with you people. I seriously dont. I would prefer if you get pissed off too reading this post and dont ever talk to me again.

4. Please read #3 again.

5. All the points from the last post are still valid.

Hi there again. In my last post titled My living experience of heaven and hell- The JUIT and JIIT chronicles: Part 1, I talked about my un-forgettable life in mesmerizing environment of JUIT,Waknaghat (Jaypee University Of Information Technology) which was college life at its best.
And in this part, I will talk rant about my agonising life in JIIT (Jaypee Institue Of Information Technology, NOIDA) which is nothing you would like or want to read as it is very depressing.

It makes me want to the just the opposite of this famous XKCD comic:

I wish I could spin earth faster so that my days at JIIT are over sooner.
There is a hindi idiom that goes like “swarg bhi yahaa aur nark bhi yahaan“. I suppose its true. When god made a heaven like college -JUIT, he made JIIT too, just so that this idiom continue to hold true, so that the nature everything in nature is balanced and we dont have excess of goodness. And as I had seen heaven it was my turn to experience the other side of the coin called life.
As I said, I dint realize how sucky the college was in the initial days I spent at JIIT as I was just sinking in the moment, the thrill of my transfer. But when it settled down, things went bad, utterly bad.
I hate JIIT a zillion times more than I miss and love JUIT. And there is no limit for the reasons for me hating my present college. If I had written a personal diary of the (miss) happenings in JIIT, I would have given you atleast one reason for each day for why I hate Jaypee Institute Of Information Technology University (JIITU), NOIDA so much. Also, I could have written a book, probably.

What makes a college? Professors? Infrastructure? Placements? Well, if you ask me, the single most important part of any college are its students. If IIT’s are world renowned today, it is because of the brilliant brains it attracts from all over India, and not because of the professors who teach there. Sure, they must be having pretty good professors there but still its the students that make IIT what it is today.

And in case of JIIT, words are not enough to explain how disgusting people are here!

Man, I cant believe how ridiculous people are here in JIITU. After all, college life is supposed to be fun isn’t? This is when we become old enough for our parents to give us some freedom and allow us to have youthfull fun. Its the time when our raw youthfull is at its peak. Its when we become mature in our thinking, and in our attitude towards other folks and the way of life. We become responsible  and begin to understand things in a different way.

Who/what is a friend? Well it is not easy to define a friend. Its more of a mutual feeling. When we were kids, our friends were those who us their pen/pencil, or share their lunch with us. Okay, that was cute and innocent but thats not exactly what a friend is.
As I indicated before, to me, a friend is not just someone with whom I sit next to in the class or someone with whom I share my lunch time with. When I was in school, I always used to think that if I have such amazing buddies from school, dont know how great friends I will get in my college life. In my school days whenever I used to talk about my friends to any adult in my home, they would say, “concentrate on your studies, dont give much importance to your friends. They will vanish with time. You will make your *real friends* in your college.”. But even today, I have those 5 friends I made in 9^th standard (its been more than 8 years now). But where are all my *real friends* I was supposed to find in my college life? Do I have atleast one *real friend* in my college life? Answer would be a simple NO. Okay, that line could have made may be 2-3 people feel bad (if they ever read this), but actually thats what the reality is for me. I was expecting my college days to be like what Barney (from HIMYM) says, “Legendary”!. But that never happened.

By now, you must have got an idea that what, in my opinion, is wrong with my college or my college life. Its the students! They are unbelievably crappy.

Here people (or atleast a small percentage) are not the way should be. These maggots still have not come to terms with adulthood. They are so immature and childish that I wonder how long will they take to dump their $hi**y attitude towards life and other folks. Or will it ever happen at all, I cant be sure of that.

Do you remember your school days? When your teacher used to say 1/2/5 marks to who so ever answers this question, and every kid (including you and me) used to jump with one hand in air, wanting to get that one extra mark to…..? I dont know, score higher by 1 (or few) mark than your mates or to impress someone. Here in JIIT, it happens today also. When it happened for the first time when I was in first year, I was like, “Oh come on guys! You are in college. Do you think she is really going to give you one mark?” She is probably going to have a good group laugh in the lecturer’s hall describing the scene to scene to other lecturers which probably other professors have already witnessed themselves. Someone  would even mention that he/she deserves a bonus mark because he answered it better. And now when it happens in third year, the only expression I have is “Bah”.

Grow up guys, dont make war for 1 mark! Dont die for it. Even our lecturers have realized how easily they can get things done by just attaching a few words “this carries  x marks”. Even if it is stupid and makes no sense, they just say, you have 1/5/10/20 marks for doing this thing and suddenly the whole dynamics change and everybody is running to get that thing done. I wonder if there will be a day like one of our teachers will say, “Wash your undies yourself for 5 days and show it to us that you have done it. 0.5 marks for each undie. Bonus marks will be awarded for being creative and innovative”. Lets see how a conversation would be like regarding our new assignment.

Mr. X : “Hey, have you heard of the new assignment? We have to do our undies ourselves for 5 days and show the results to mam.”

Mr. Y: “Yeah, I heard of it. WTF is this. Is this a college? What kind of assignment is this.?”

Ms. Z: “But we have to do it anyway you see, its for 2.5 marks!!!”

Mr X,Y and all others unanimously: “True”

Mr. Y: “So what have you done so far?”

Mr. Y1:”I am falling behind by one day. (secretly thinking: man, I have to catch up, these guys are getting ahead of me. May be ill do my vests too along with my briefs, so that I get bonus bonus marks? wow, I am a genius! I will get higher marks than “X1″ this time, I am a better mugger learner than him,dont know how does he gets such high marks)”

Mr. X1:”Yeah, I am doing fine, I am on schedule. WTF, I dont want to this. *makes a sad face to pretend* (actually he is lying, he is secretly wishing that nobody else does it and is thinking he will probably do undies of his neighbour too to impress the teacher to get bonus-bonus-bonus marks. May be she will give him/her better marks in next major/minor(aka t1,t2,t3) exams too acknowledging his “hard work”. May these bloody su**ers rot in hell. I am definitely smarter than all of them”

So you see, I have tried to show you the mentality of people here. I mean if you dont focus on the word undies, this actually happens. People will do anything to get even 1 mark. If that means that they have to think negative for others, fine. Who cares! They all secretly keep on doing stuff, without telling others so as to fetch just a few extra marks. Where will this take them? I dont know! There is a thin line between a healthy competition and being obsessively selfish. These guys for sure have never heard of the former. Everything is like a war to them,even if it is against someone who they call their friends.

Very recently, while we were enjoying our holi breaks we got to know that our college admins have announced that class tests (which will carry marks) will be conducted in the scheduled lectures on the only working day which was falling in between our holi breaks and two consecutive holidays (one for convocation and other as the day following convocation is generally a holiday). The test was announced to discourage students from going for an extended vacation. Okay,in one of the practical, teacher announced a test too. Test was given in 2 groups of 15. I group was supposed to give the test at a time and the other group will follow after the first one. I was in the first group. When the test was over, guys from the first group actually asked  our sir to give different questions to the second batch arguing the students from the other group must have known the questions by now and they would get a few extra marks. Even after we went out of the lab, Ms. P was not happy with the fact the other group got 15-30 mins extra to study while our group was giving the test. Much ado about a small class test.(and just today I heard her sarcastically saying to someone else,”Do you think I care for marks?”)

What is the big deal if your “friends” get a mark or two extra in a small class test? Remember that these are the same guys which you call as your friends.

And next day was the convocation. One of the lecturer said attending the function is compulsary and marks will be given for coming to the ceremony. What do you expect? How rationale does that sound to you? Would you ignore it saying “meh” or would you actually start thinking over it? Well, atleast in my college, people got into heated discussions on whether to attend the function or not.

There is one Mr. S, who is always revolving around professors. These days if it (still) happens, (I dont know as I am not very regular these days), it may be because of work load but why did he do it all the time in the earlier days? Dint he do it enough in school? Was it not enough? Arent you bored of it? How many extra marks can you secure by doing this? And how and to what extent is this going to help you in your life? Better grades in the college,thats all? sad. Also, many people use foul language for Mr. S, behind his back. Say it on his face if you want to. And just because he gets better marks than others, people dont like it and take any opportunity to flame him or anyother guy or girl for that matter.

Talking of selfish, people here are light years ahead of the other students of same age in other colleges in this area. They wont tell what they are doing so that they remain ahead of you. And like school children, they will say they wont do/havent done any work , though when you see, they have obviously done everything. That used to happen in school! In college, when someone says they have not done something, you think they have really not done it. Here if someone talks to you or is your friends, you dont know if that person is doing so because he actually likes you or may be you are of some use to him/her in some way or the other. People befriend with others to achieve their personal gains. If you have something to give to them, then only they will talk or respect you, otherwise…… And friends who will say anything about you behind your back as soon as you turn from them. Those who will not think twice before bitching or back stabbing you if you get in way of their interests. I have seen many times, friends speaking about friends at their back. And I say to myself, that is why I dont have *real friends* here. I have seen it with respect to other people and also other guys speaking about me. (Mr. V: Dear, I do hear you saying things about me directly or from some other way. But I do know. I do have ears).

Talking of fun. How many times you (have) bunked your college for whole day to go out for a movie or to just hang out? For me, I can count it on my fingers, And the count is cipher,excluding the 2-3 times I went (not for the whole day though) for birthday treats. (Though, now I would probably not even like to bunk with my college mates as I am just too pissed off by everything. I am saturated with all the bull $hit and I cant take it anymore. ) Though I may have gone out on the days the exams get over, but I cant remember a time when I went willingly.

Everyone tells their kids the stories of their legendary days of their college life. I am sure your parents have shared some of their deeds with you. But what will I tell my kids? That the students in my class jump like they have a trampoline below their feet to get 1 or 2  mark(s) just like you kiddos do in your school. Or that I never bunked a full day with college mates (I have done many times with my other friends, infact, these days I am on a roll) even when there are no restrictions unlike you guys who cant bunk because you are still in school.

Once the students of my batch did a heroic attempt on bunking. It was our professional development practical in may be 4^th semester. The teacher who used to take the practical was absent that day and there was a substitute present at her place to take the practical. People somehow decided to bunk the practical and the whole class walked out just as the substitute teacher was coming towards us. Outside the lab, the scene was amazing. Everyone was jubilant and ecstatic about their unbelievable and and unique achievement. It looked as if they have pulled of an incredible feat. Loud laughs could be heard and there were extensive discussions on the topic and someone (I cant remember who) was saying that what a great moment they (finally) have to tell to their kids. There were high-fives flying all around as if they all got placed! Celebrations were on. There were sweets and champagne. Oh, wait, there were no sweets or champagne(thank goodness), otherwise the occasion was nothing short of a festival! Among the crowd, MR. A was among the most happiest people and sure knew a thing or two on how to sink-in the moment.

WTF! Itta shor-sharaba for bunking “ONE” class? Seriously, one class? Did they bunk a class in their schools that they were celebrating at such high adrenaline levels?

And the worst part is still to come. Substitute teacher told our PD teacher who BTW is very cool and understanding. When our PD teacher contacted us and said that she was disappointed by our behaviour, every gene that produced a heroic inducing protein was very quickly mutated or altaernatively spliced and produced a product which not only silenced every molecule that initiated that heroic act but also activated other molecules which turned my daring class mates into tiny mice like creatures and great manipulators. Instead of accepting a mass bunk, they went all out defending themselves with whatever lies they could come up with, to a teacher who was very good to us,who talked like a friend to the students. She was frank and used to take note of student’s problems. The teacher was told it was a misunderstanding. Ms. R said,” Mam, <I dont exactly remember what she said>,because we love you”.  People mis-used their good relations with her to make her fall for their lies.

Emotional atyachaar redefined? Heights of blasphemy.

Do these guys have ever heard of a thing called trust? All that sentence from Ms. R sounded like to me was, “Mam, we will shamelessly lie to you mis-using the trust we built with you over the time for such times. We lie to you because we dont love you, hell, we dont even care about you or what you think or feel. All that matters to us is our own self interest. If it is threatened in anyway, by-god we will go to any extent to save ourselves”. Manipulation is in blood of these guys. If you dont have the guts to accept that you did a mass bunk then why do it at all?So what are you going to tell your kids or your freidns in other college? That you once somehow gathered courage to bunk a class, celebrated it like India won the world cup but everything went ka-boom when a teacher confronted you?

What could have they done?Even they must have bunked in their college days. They also know that it is a part of college life. I dont remember every one of 90 students bunking for more than 3 times (may be that number is false. Chances are someone did show up)

Now, I am not advocating just bunking the college and not studying. Studies are important. But one should experience everything man (leaving weed and booze). One is in college only once in his/her life, and you never will be 20 something again. Tomorrow, you will not have the age,time,energy or will to do it. Try to live your life.

Now lets see why these scholars these enjoy. They study. Is ratta-fying without understanding anything called studying? They just mug up anything.Okay,once,twice,thrice but everytime? Leave application part of whatever they study, most studious people cant even remember what they mugged when the sem is over. In some cases, it all vanishes even within a few days after the exams are over.(yeah,these people cant drag me into this. okay, I am myself a five-point-someone but I accept the fact that I am not studying well enough? But what about other geniuses in my class? Some of them even get good marks but do they know what they are studying? May be yes(for a handful of guys),but most probably be no for the majority. Marks dont matter to me. You should have the confidence that you know the subject, thats what is important. (I had that confidence till 2nd year even though I dint used to get a great GPA, as I had a decent hold in bio and related subjects. But I am completely lost right now). What is the use of 7/8+ GPA when you dont know anything. Only thing is be good at what you are doing. If you are pretending to study, then study, dont mug up. Or if you dont study, enjoy life atleast while you still can. Why messing up both?

And pretending that you know everything (or many things) when you dont, makes you look like an idiot, which is very much the case with many students in the batch. Dont be a pseudo person, just be honest and be what you are. It is not very difficult. (most recent victim of this pseudo personality dis-order is Mr. V)

There is also no end to immature and irritating karma or my batchmates.

Last year Mr. A was sitting in front rows for a lecture. Lecture had not started at that time so he went for a walk probably. In the meantime another Mr. A comes in and sits on his seat. Former Mr. A comes back and finds the second Mr. A sitting in his seat. Lets hear what the conversation sounded like:

1st A: (*smilingly*) “Hey A, get up yaar!”

2nd A: “Can you sit at the back?”

1st A: ” No, it is my seat.”

2nd A: “Please dude, let me sit, I cant see from the back. You sit at the back.”

This continues for a short while while the smile on the face of 1st A is fading away.

1st A: (*smile all gone*) “Leave my seat or I will tell the mam”

2nd A: (with a WTF look on his face) ” Dude, grow up!”

There are many incidents with many people which I will be posting here time to time.
So, for me JIIT is a college without its soul,the students. People here are mean, selfish, arrogant. They dont understand meaning of simple but very important words like friends, trust, interpersonal relationship, selflessness, helping others etc. All they care about is themselves. Some JIITians would be pissed of by reading this. But do 1 thing. With an open mind think,would you be in touch with your college “friends” after college is over? Come on, no need to tell anyone, just answer yourself,honestly. If still your answer is yes, then tell are you still friends with your school pals? Yes? Then, we will see! Bet? Ok sorry, you got a perfect match for yourself, hats of to you! My best wishes.

I do not know the names of the every person in my 90 student batch. No, I am not a anti-social person as such (but in college,I am). You can still blame me for not knowing names of everyone in the class, but I know other people who also dont know the names of every student. People here dont have any warmth, they are bunch of emotionless morons. There is no feeling of belongingness. They dont care about anyone or anything. They will talk to you or be friendly with you only if you have something which serves their interest. If you are not useful to them, dude,find solace somewhere else.
My birth is ‘03/87 and most of the guys here are ‘88 born. I sometime feel what is the reason I cant stand a thing these people do. Why do they do things differently? Am I an alien? Is there something really wrong with what I see or am I just over-reacting to myself? What happened in just 1 year. Can being younger by just one year really make such huge difference in the way of thinking? In the way you perceive things? Is there a generation gap? What is going wrong? How can someone be so idiotic at an age just 1 year younger to me? But then I go back to my home, to my friends and family and once I regain my senses I realize I was not wrong. May be I am not right about everything but certainly not wrong either. I am not perfect and I can not claim that only I am all good and they are all non-sense but I can guarantee you that if you are a sane person, once you spend sometime in this college, you will be standing on my side. I never expected them to be ideal or perfect, no one can be perfect but atleast normal? Is it too much to ask?

Yeah, I feel nostalgic about my days in my school, those 45 days I spent in JUIT, Waknaghat. That time and the memories are still powerful enough to make me smile when I am feeling low. I would love to remember each and every moment I spent at those two places.

Some people tell  me to adjust. When I told my friends in first semester how ugly people here are from inside, they told me that I would adjust and find someone. I told them I dont see that happening. And it holds good even after 3 years. Thing is I can not pretend. I can not pretend to be like your friend (and by that I mean not just sharing lunch etc) when I dont feel for you. I can not fake my emotions like almost every one does here. I am not a pseudo and hypocrite person who says something at your face and something other at your back, which is a characteristic of just about everyone here. There is a thin line between adjusting in the new environment and compromise with your beliefs and your way of life. I can not change it for these preposterous people here. I am better off this way. I will just somehow spend my college life counting remaining days and staying aloof and thus keeping my sanity. I was affected by people here when sometime back I noticed that I have also become selfish, arrogant but then I decided that I have had enough. I will not let these guys dictate terms for me. I talk as less as I can and stay away from all the non-sense (it irritates me to no ends anyway). I wish I had never met them.

I wish all of them good luck in their lives, may all of these achieve success in all the forms they want. But I wish even more that I dont see these faces in any walk of life.

But what do I want to take with me from JIIT. Nothing, absolutely nothing. Infact, if it was my way, I wish there was a black hole created by the Large Hadron Collider which gallops the college. I wish somebody would erase every single memory of this college from my brain when I move out from this jail, so that I dont have anything from this college. I wish it had never happened. It is like a nightmare which has extended for 5 years.

Who would I like to be in touch with after the college? No one. There is no body worthy. I am sure many here will forget there so called friends within months.
May be it is there own special way to re-live their childhood days by becoming the child they were? lol

This is my comment I made on this blog post.

Okay…
First i think you are my senior so ill address you @ sir
Sir, and to all of you guys. This is a JIITian saying to you guys, JUIT rocks!!! Nothing beats JUIT. JIIT is one f*cked up college and life in  JIIT is a nightmare.
How do I know this?
I am in 3rd year in JIITU right now but before that, I spent the first 45 days of my 1st year in JUIT and was transferred here. Even though I cherished every bit of my stay here I was adamant and used to cry-out-loud to get to JIIT because of some personal reasons.
I wont call it(getting transferred to JIIT) a mistake as those personal reasons are still there and enough to make my decision worth but JIIT su*ks,it suc*s bigtime.
JUIT is a dream college. I can never forget those 45 days I spent there. I feel so amazing when I recall my days in JUIT. I still feel like a JUITian at heart,even after being in JIIT for almost 3 years now.
This college has no life. Students are SHIT. so mean,greedy and dont know what species they are,really. fucked up college.fucked up students.total crap.
thats how miserbale JIIT makes me feel.
Nothing beats the hostel life of JUIT. and can i get the name of that dhaba again at which i used to eat as mess’s food was not to my liking
okay,just now i saw that there was a comment by Mr JIITian (i dint read that when i started typing this comment)
okay,read that reply from JIITian and Moushummi’s reply after that in 3 mins approx
Well,what Moushami said is EXACTLY my point.and to taht guy,dude,visit JUIT once.

There is no warmth in JIIT. I dont feel like how i used to feel in JUIT. People dont know each other. Hell leave senior knowing juniors,you will be astonished to learn,i myself dont know the names of all the students in my 90 student batch!!!,and thats after 3 years.okay you can call its my mistake but if you are a kinda person who belongs to JUIT more than JIIT,believe me,you wont want to know names of all these shitty people here.
and yeah,how can you leave the surroundings we have at JUIT. i actually witnessed clouds flowing into my hostel room atleast couple of times AFAIR. beatiful and breath taking.
Cant believe i left JUIT.
I will certaunly come back to meet all my friends (dont know how much they still take me as a friend) at this years “le fiestus.
I love all the friends i made at JUIT.
Zain,Mohit,Anuj,Abhishek,Gyani,Nikhil,Neha,Komal,Shruti,Swati I love you guys and you people can never imagine how painful it is to spending my college years with people whom names i dont know,than spending it with wonderful people liek you. May you guys always be happy and successful.Hope you guys get placed this year. I miss you all!
Okay i think i sounded like a girl.but thats what JUIT makes me feel,weak at heart ! sob.(damn,again like a girl,sorry cant help it)

{actually i was thinking of writing a post at my blog(s) on how ife sucks at JIIT, but i just keep thinking the points and never took it to the draft stage.(thought you must have an idea now how much i want to write about it). But this comment will give me something to start with. if i write my heart out,that post will easily reach 10,000 words.
damn those JUIT days. if i had not garnered such beautiful memories from JUIT,may be it would have helped me adjust with bakwaas culture at JIIT.

(how i reached your blog: i was searching for a blog by one of my juniors who made beatiful banners for JIVE. I saw his blog and identified him by looking at tyhe banners. Dont know where i bookmarked it but c=ant seem to find now.and i need to contact him and ask if he can make some design for an upcoming barcamp in Delhi.)

signing off
Mayank-a pissed of 3rd year student from JIIT

I think I will stop here. Though I still have a few more points which I remember right now but I am just too tired (and bored myself,yeah this turned out boring) after writing this marathon post. My longest ever and will always remain so. It will only get longer as I will keep updating it with my experiences in JIIT.

For now, I rest my case.

~Peace
