Sixth semester was our first encounter with electives. We had struggled very hard to choose them in the last semester and it was turn to reap the fruits. But our expectations were shattered with the Sunday and Wednesday classes too. We didn't know that this would be the price of choosing the electives :-( Infact, I felt the pain even though I had taken just 3 credits, and I think of my friends who had taken 4!! Earlier we were spoilt by choice and now our choices were spoiled. But it was a great test of our perseverance and hats off to our families too who stood by us during this busy phase of our lives!
The compulsory credit SM-II (strategy management) needs a special mention (:-). It was real fun to attend the SM-II class especially the cases (Microsoft, Apple, Sun etc) that were discussed were of great relevance to us (the IT guys). The semester was not exciting for those who had not taken DAMD subject :-). The thrill of attending the class (for some of us who had taken DAMD) added zing to the otherwise-dull-semester - it got a little similar to the I sem-MANAC.
And ya, from this semester on, all the SEM results were displayed on the notice boards (with our current & previous CGPA too) :-( Till now, it was just circulated amongst the batch but now it was an open-book in front of everyone. But it had a positive effect too - with no electronic copy one couldn't perform the mean/median/mode/& various statistical tests.!
This sem was special because, first time in WMP history, the WMP charter(!) was changed for first and last time - our semester exams were scheduled in the afternoon 2 pm - 5pm. Everyone, in fact had to take a leave from the office to take the exams. This enraged many of us, triggered many discussions, many vote counts were done, many draft (unsent) mails were written - but the Chair calmed us down that the timings would reverted back from the next semester. Lets hope to get our regular timings back!
We saw the launch of Cupshup cafe (founded inhouse by IPMX students themselves) - Now one could enjoy delicious snacks other than just the usual samosas/patties available at college canteen. Kudos to the students who identified the demand-supply gap & started an entrepreneurial venture that would serve as a great learning too. IIML noida store in campus too got inaugurated which would house the various memorabilia of IIML in the noida campus itself. However much we crib, but there is one thing in common amongst all the students in the campus - we wish to make a difference in the society we live and we want to be heard. The fact that we have joined such a rigorous course clearly exhibits the common 'fighter' attitude amongst us!
For our senior batch this semester was the last semester (their IX) and the excitement of completing the rigorous course got visible. It will be a similar day for us too soon!.
