Getting ready for Final Year

At last I got my results for the sixth semester. This time also I got 8.57 as my GPA. Am qualified to get into the Final year completing my Pre-Final year. When I think back it seems to be a very short time, its like just now we got into college but three years had gone. Another important thing is by passing the sixth semester am also eligible for attending the placements in all the companies visiting our campus with the added advantage of not having any arrears thus far, I must thank the Almighty for giving me this gift and this must continue till I finish my career. Last semester also I ve got 8.57. But before getting my resutlts this semester I was really scared coz I thought I didnt do my exams well. The only subject I was very much worried was Object Oriented Analysis and Design(OOAD), this was because I didnt do my internals very well. I was a bit playfull with this subject since I thought it as an easy subject. But after the results only I realized that it was a very easy subject and even I can secure 73% in this subject which gave a B grade. I thought after getting 8.57 int his semester my CGPA will shoot up to great heights but, it was not so it raised only to 0.05. Thus my CGPA now at the end of sixth semester is 8.30.

My Marks are as follows:

SUBJECTS	GRADE	MARKS
Numerical Methods and Simulation	A	66+16=82
Object Oriented Analysis and Design(OOAD)	B	56+17=73
Internet Programming	B	57+19=76
Software Engineering	A	58+22=80
Computer Graphics	B	49+24=73
Computer Networks	B	52+24=76
RDBMS Lab	S	69+25=94
Network Programming Lab	S	73+22=95
Total		649

Am very happy to get this result and I will still work hard to maintain this tempo and to get to greater heights. Am very greatfull for all my college staffs and my friends who helped me to get such a result. This semester as I already had blogged, I had many activities to do inlcuding my two major projects and the Internship programme with Virtusa. Inspite of this schedule I managed to pass this sixth semester exams.

Its been Long back

Its been a long time i ve blogged.. Last month i had my semester and i did the exams fine. Now in May am preparing for my placements and also working to give a good deliverable to our Virtusa Project. Last month (April 14) i had a really bad time my system got crashed. My hard disk went to hell and it was replaced by HCL since i had warranty at the cost of my data being lost. I was very upset over that, even till today my system is giving problem, all my devices started failing one by one. Today i spoke to the company people about my system problems and they have assured me that it will be fixed surely on coming Monday. And another sad news is our technical repository Joe Steeve had left our college. But am happy that he got a nice job (the job which he wished for, Yup its a job based on GNU/Linux). I wish all the best for his career. He has promised to start a software firm in another five years time (tats cool and we ppl shall have fun there). After the exams in April end I really had a hectic time with our college database server. We actually changed our database machine from a PIII IBM NetVista machine to another ACER PIV machine also this time we shifted from Oracle8i to Oracle9i. There began the problem and at last we got rid of all those difficulties and now our college database server is up and is running :) Ranjani was with me all that time and its the joint venture of us which made this possible. And now am BUSY PREPARING for my placements. Last week we had our seniors handling classes for us. They really did a great job. They took pains to make us aware of the difficulties in getting through the placements. Next week in our college they have decided to arrange people from TIME to handle classes for us in Soft Skills. I think that will be even very interesting and usefull for us. Still am not getting better with my aptitiude skills, yeah I need to concentrate more :) I would like to thank my seniors for all the work they did especially: S Arun Ponnaiah, S Karthick, Meenakshi Sundaram, HAri Shankar, Harish, Balamurugan, Mani Balan and even more (forgive me if I had left ur name).
