Students’ Speak: Good CGPA matters to get shortlisted

By: Shrikant Jha

Achieving your desired college is really cool but when you don’t get that you are all in a bad mood. Here we will talk about the case in which you don’t get your dream college.

Prerequisites

Not a new thing in this world. It’s kind of failure or let's say you were lacking at some point in your preparation. Are you left with few colleges or got admission to some college which is not your dream college?

Steps to tackle

There is no need to watch any motivational videos. They are not useful in the long run. You just need to understand that you have to be a mindful person no need to worry about it all the time. I have something to share with you.

Let’s discuss it one by one briefly, later I will ponder on their solutions. In this case, I will take an example of the Computer Science department. These tips are totally compatible with other branches.

1. First of all, welcome to your new college. You are going to study here, so stop whining
2. Do good research on your branch, for example, the highest package, companies which visit your campus, good faculties, etc.
3. It's okay to enjoy college life but don’t ruin your career for it. Don’t worry you will have plenty of case studies in your college
4. Be a good student. If you are in a 3 tier college, you need to have a good CGPA, at least above 8 to be in a safe zone.A CGPA of 9 is good to have but make sure you are not ruining your self-progress for it
5. Know your competition. And be in healthy competition
6. I can bet you will praise the backbencher's story.  It's fine to do it but do not ruin your studies for that small to none thing.
7. Good bond with faculties is beneficial. Impress them with your good performance. This will boost your confidence and make you better in your studies
8. Develop your skill to an extreme level if in CSE, make coding your Mjölnir. Your superpower should be your knowledge of your skills
9. Maintain marks to a good level because degree matters, good CGPA matters to get shortlisted
10. Enjoy your college life as this is also important otherwise you will definitely have regrets about it but be disciplined about it.
1. Skill Development (Verbal also important): Flush your stage fear
2. Good CGPA to get shortlisted is your bonus
3. Enjoy college life (recommended)

Fixing your dilemma?

Here I have tried to explain to you the practical ways in which you can be a happy person with a great package.

1. In the above steps, you haven’t adjusted as per the situation. Instead, you got up and became a hero in your life by doing the right things so be brave.
2. Get the most out of your college resources. Use labs, improve your English, etc.

At last, you can again attempt the GATE exam to get your dream college. Practically package matters in your desired field, but if still, you are not happy with that then you will have enough opportunities in your life. But the thing is to use those 3 or 4 years of graduation wisely.
