So our final exams are ending by the end of May — which should ideally be the most important time for self-study, skill building, and actual placement prep.
Instead, our college has decided to schedule a compulsory “Finishing School / Bootcamp” for the entire month of June–July.
And not just suggest it — they’re forcing it.
They’ve given us a “consent” form where if we don’t maintain 90% attendance, it will be considered as “disinterest in Training & Placement.”
So basically: Not attending = you don’t care about placements
Attending = give up your entire month
And the timing couldn’t be worse.
This is peak summer in India. Extreme heat, exhausting travel, and for people like me — around 5 hours of daily commute.
So the day becomes: Travel → Sit through sessions → Travel back → Completely drained
And by the time company actually comes what I was doing just travelling back and forth
And here’s the frustrating part — they already did something similar during winters, and it was honestly a complete waste of time. Generic sessions, low value, nothing you couldn’t learn better on your own.
Now they’re repeating the same thing… but for a whole month… in worse conditions.
I’m not against training or improving skills. But forcing everyone into a rigid bootcamp, taking away the most crucial self-prep time, and then calling it “help” just feels wrong.
At this point it feels less about student growth and more about: attendance records + placement statistics.
All the time they just threaten you with attendance and placement it's just soo frustrating
And if anybody from this college (you know which one I am talking about) is seeing this raise your voice a little
