frustration, you can call it

Ever since a friend of mine enlightened me about the Indian Institutes of Technology , i always wanted to be in one of them but i dont know how much of the same respect and admiration i still share for this place. i dont hate this place out right, believe me even with its sick administration and sicker deans it is difficult to not like this place purely because of the student life it offers. the amount of fun one can get out it . but i fail to make sense of few of the recent decisions of the administration, seriously what kind of a Dum*Fu** will come up with a rule banning all foreign interns unless you already have a 2nd year industrial intern in your 2nd year summer vacation, 3 months after the completion of the summer vacation? and if it does decide to stop foreign interns what is the point in allowing a few of them who randomly choose to work outside the insti in their 2nd year summer or those who are just lucky for what they are and whom they know . what is the point in a few depts following the rule and a few not, now these students with foreign interns in 3rd year and 'indus or univ' intern in the 2nd year compete with the unlucky few who either choose to work in the institute itself during their 2nd year or who were just unlucky that they did not know , even by pure chance, people in important positions who could help them, for jobs and more importantly for MS next year. Its not just the central system, even the dept that is BT is nothing but pure BS, when a dept like elec, with hajjar industries already in place and ready to take students for interns, not only allows students to go abroad for their interns but also in fact facilitates the whole process for them i simply fail to understand why cant a dept with not even 10 pc indus reach and devpt as elecs and 10pc as many oppurtunities do it . i dont know how many of such decisions are taken along with the student council, i doubt that they even care.
the intern is not the only thing
now the brilliant dept that BT has already proven to be in these 3 years has come up with another of its rules which atleast to me doesnt make sense, the BTP rule. now the rule is that every prof at the maximum can take only 2 studetns, which is fair enough because it is too burden on the profs and also some of them are in shortage of resources, monetary and even others. what i fail to understand is the rule that every prof MUST have one student min under him. now with 21 profs most of them working in widely different areas, 21 of the 28 btechs must be under different profs for sure, i.e if a couple of profs are left out, like 19 of the profs have one min or 2 max under them a few of the students from those profs with 2 students under him will be forced to take some other BTP. The btp process is still underway and it is too early to totally understand the implications of this rule, it will be clear in a week what does this do to the already unlucky batch of 2005.
