Well i m basically from khagaria (Bihar) but brought up and did schooling from dhanbad (Jharkhand). Before coming here i was fascinated by the this name cochin as at first i heard this name while playing trade(vyapari).
I never thought that i wil be doing B.tech from here but "wakt se pahle aur kismat se jyada kabhi kisi ko kuch mila hai kya". So ,finally i landed here in september 2005 with bad and baggage.
When i entered kerala, i told to my frdz wow what a scenary it has yaar, nice vegetation and all. But never liked the smell of coconut oil or jasmine oil that they put on their head :(
It is well known to everyone that keralites are 100%literate but in my opinion they are just literate only literally not by sense or by course. They only know to write their name and most of the times don't wish to use their brain. I met few malayalee frdz few are fine but most ppl are careless about carreers(might be because of their parents are economically sound).
Don't ask about the degrees and teaching experience of faculties specially in our branch they just sweared to spoil our life (not everyone but yeah most of them).
i was very happy that i got Computer Science will do so many things in this field although me and my frd circle trying to do but every newbies need guidance which is nill in our case.
I was diligent bu nature but the situation made me sloth.
technically this state is far ahead with respect to other state but then denizens of kerala don't want to develop or to contribute in the success and growth of It field or whatever be the field.
I felt that honesty and sytematic work, exists here. I have not seen any complaint of theft and all here.
Although they are developed in some cases but people of kerala are still conservative in thinking in majority. In bus still sits are reserved for females but there is no other special queue for females in railway reservation counter(contradicts).
Internal politics is there in college campus which is not good in anyways for the development of any educational system.
Indian government wish to make it IIEST but people from kerala don't want.
Here people don't try to trust on non-keralites generally might be becuase of the bad image that they have from politics or from paper but please frdz who are from kerala and reading this never generalize the things. If you have trust in us then i m atleast syre that you will never be cheated and you can atleast say that yeah this person is with me in any circumstances. the thing is that we should rely upon each other instead of just being formal and all.
There are so many reasons saying kerala a good state but some demerits are also there.
Many things to say but simply we can't.
i wish to know the opinion of people who are from kerala and who are not from kerala that what i stated is right or not. pardon me if it hurts anyone's notion.

My first experience with siemens paper
Well i am a computer science student and as i m presently facing the placement season, So i thought of keeping my views in front of all. Correct me wherever i go wrong. As this is the first time that i appeared for a test at siemens information limited(SISL) under shreds,Kerala.
The scheduled time was 8 a.m. on 10th Feb. '08. It started at 8:30 a.m. I was in the first batch i.a A(totally there was 4 batches). The criteria was 64.5% throughout the B.tech only or questions on C/C++.
A total of 3000 students appeared for it.
The first round was Quantitative aptitude test consisting of 60 questions under 45 minutes. cut-off was rather high, i guess i managed to survive although i didn't practice this section before, so my luck served me this time.
Hardly 600 students were selected for the next round,and the second round was on either C or C++. i choose C, consisting of 15 questions withing 15 minutes. Questions were bit experimental so can be considered as tough, thats y cut-off was near about 4 or 5. After this only 300 students got selected for the next round which was now the siemens own paper.
As i was selected for this round also was expecting to have questions from O.S. ,networking,UNIX but unfortunately the questions were based only on C,C++ and quantitative aptitude. 19 questions from C++,6 questions from C and 25 questions from aptitude(was easy). As C++ is not a part of our syllabus so had to leave all the questions pertaining to the same, although tried to attempt few questions by asking Lawlesh my batch mate ,who was sitting just behind me but could not succeed in surviving for the interview round.
i thought i would be selected but the criteria was something different as per the observation,they selected the persons(63) for interview round who did not have the minimum cut-off and high percentage of marks so i had only 68% might be the reason for my elimination.
Among them 3 candidates from my college got selected in siemens, after 2 round of interview. one was Nilesh from IT and 2 from E.C (Rachna and aishwarya i guess).
so, knowledge, luck and confidence were there which brought me till the entry level, as i had luck but no knowledge (C++). confidence, but had no opportunity to show :) Above all the experience i gained was worth all the trouble... :-)
