Quarter 4 - Week of Exams

Only one assignment - the beta book! And someone from our class somehow managed to get that extended by a week as well... we're getting better and better at this! :) But all that aside, nothing could take the one thing off our mind... the final set of exams for the final quarter of this year was dawning near.

Some people havent slept this week, others took leaves, most of us left it to Fate or God. Some had already prepared before, but they're the minority within a minority. So it should be safe to ignore them. They deserve it anyway, how dare you call yourselves students when you're doing your third revision in the week of the exams? There are some kayde-kanoon! You're supposed to be running helter-skelter and panicking... where's the rush otherwise?

OperMan - The prof seems to have gone a little easier on us. Most of the probs could be drawn in parallel to something from the book. Easy to lift. However, a couple of them had their fair twists and turns. Our class rep got a special mention in the exam, a problem was based on him, and he will go down in eternity as the sole guest appearance in our exams. So far.

CorpFin - At the end of the paper, people were only left with two facial expressions, either extremely pleased or extremely dazed. Many claim the paper was really easy, many others claim complete ignorance about what was in the paper. Only the marks will separate the wheat from the chaff.

MPPO - The MPPO exams (much to our relief) didnt have any kind of theory or explanations. One simple case about a factory near Tirupati, and basic questions about our suggestions regarding the processes followed there. People began leaving at the 1-hour stretch itself, out of two. Either they didnt remember the theory, or they had just had it on the last day with soul-searching, or they actually knew it all. I highly doubt the third.

But nothing compares to what happened at 5 PM. All papers collected, and all the students outside were busy chittering. And that wasn't about the exam. Some about the beta book, but more about the electives and the holidays. And then one person went "One year's over!"

Yes, one year's over.
