Education has become one of the most basic necessities for
people to avail a job and lead a decent life. Without education, it's highly
difficult to survive in today's highly competitive and highly cunning world.
There is enough number of people around to take advantage of your unawareness
and cheat you from getting what you really deserve. Hence education becomes
very much important in all our lives, but the misconception is that education
is nothing but graduation. Pursuing graduation and completing a degree course
doesn't guarantee right education. Unfortunately, majority of the graduation
pursuing students have fallen into the wrong assumption that it takes 3-4 years
to complete graduation of one degree. We must evaluate the right time that is
invested on graduation and not the time that is spent.
According to my experience of having addressed a lot of
students pursuing different degrees, I have come to know that irrespective of
what degree a student is in, s/he doesn't study everyday like how students do
in school. The last night before the exam becomes the most important time for
such students. There are few students who start studying a week before the exam
also. Many students are not even interested in attending regular classes and
due to lack of experienced and good teachers students seldom listen to
teachers' lessons. In this case, it gets proved that students study on their
own and that too, during the dead end when the exam is just one or two days
far. If students can score and pass exams with last night preparations then all
semesters of any graduation can be completed within few months and it is not
required to spend years to complete graduation. The college also doesn't run
for 24 hours a day. It only runs for 6-8 hours a day. Taking holidays and mass
bunks into consideration, on an average, just 6 hours per day is spent on
graduation by students, which means just one fourth of the day. Extrapolating
to 4 years of B.E, only one year of complete time is invested into graduation
by students. This gets stretched for 4 years by the existing education
standards, wherein students have no idea that they are wasting three-fourth of
their time during graduation in the name of graduation.
After 3-4 years, when you look back you will only be able to
say that you did so many years of graduation though you knew that it could get
over within one fourth of the time. So, it's high time for students to
understand the responsibility of every day that is bestowed on them. One should
make sure that s/he is involved in lot of other things in free time apart from
graduation. Only then 3-4 years of graduation will also encompass experience in
different kinds of work along with exposure to different fields of life along
with graduation. Filling in your day with variety of activities instead of
wasting time in the name of graduation will be the best way for any student
pursuing graduation to follow.
