Pick the best apple in the bucket

The recent infamous tussle between DU and UGC over FYUP has given more than one reason for students to worry. First of all, aspirants considering admissions in other universities were impatiently waiting for colleges to announce their cut-offs. Then came the confusion over courses and the admission criteria.

For most students, the worst part was the rolling back of courses like BTech and BMS. I myself wasn’t sure about it, but my cousin sister was excited about taking up BTech from DU. While the announcement made me finalise BTech from SRM, it certainly didn’t go well with my cousin. I am sure that hundreds, if not thousands, would have felt really bad about this sudden change that will now make them think of other options.

You’ll see many people talking and writing about what made the cut-offs higher and how politics rule over everything including the education system, but that’s no help to us.

The best solution is to stay positive, don’t panic and look for the best apple in the bucket. It’s time we finalise the name of the institute with which we intend being associated for the next four years (for life actually) and start preparing ourselves for this new exciting journey that will teach us many lessons, give us lot of experience and exposure.
