Placement preparation is one of the
most potent applications of the college (KEC) administration. It never leaves
any area unearthed. Whether it may be a demanding aptitude skill or a compelling
communication skill, importance was shared on equal grounds and yielded the
predicted results. But these predicted results, in my point of view correctly,
are far below than the achievable margin of students who receive enough inputs
to tackle interviews. Why there is backtrack in expectation? Are we still lackluster?
Answers will give a definite reason why KEC needs competitions like ‘E for
English’.
Behind the
scene, if you look at a class of 60 during admission, you can find the class to
be a perfect example for ‘Unity in Diversity’. Well, with majority of people
from suburbs and rural, English and communication are two different hemispheres
that never meet in first two years of study, except for the two English papers.
Students who hail from Tamil-instructed schools find it very difficult to cross
this dire danger. Some with consistent hard work break this hardship and
continue to move further while the rest compromise them and will wait for a
crusader to arrive. Unfortunately, majority of students fall under the latter category
and they fail to recognize the crusader within. Two years later, you can see
the class virtually grouped into three: Extremely communicative, moderately
communicative and hardly communicative. The third group is left in the virtue
of nature, so that only training is given and perfection and performance are
not expected.
When you clearly
examine the students under group three, their existence in the group may be traced
to any one of the two cases.
- People who in the process of learning English and communication lose their hope on facing sudden blows and criticisms.
- People who really have less molecules of morality in their blood. They feel that English is far too little for them and hopefully they are very less in number to worry about.
So on the verge of placement schedules in the final year, you
can find a majority of students, who are distilled with all inputs but not the
courage, stand with a irremediable fear even when they are in their ‘hot seats’.
They all need a little push called internal motivation and with that they will
be carried home by the ‘gravity of morality’.
Who is going
to offer that ‘little push’? Definitely, neither the college nor the placement
preparation activities that are drafted by the college will provide this. As a matter of fact, they have already
provided mammoth facilities to succeed in recruitment drive. To give this spark and ignite them is the fellow
duty of the rest of the students in the class. They really have to carry out
this operation because they know more about their friends than any other in
this perspective. Their aim must be to relieve the prisoners of hopelessness
and to aware them that they can still do it.
And hence there
is a call for competitions like ‘E for English’ which spotlights the interconnection
between students to help one another in the process of seeking dawn. E for English
makes a group of students to come under a particular student in the class who
communicates at ease. Being given the responsibility and a touch of leadership,
performance of group may map to explore unreached heights. Every student will
be asked to deliver speech on various themes and ranked and thereby scrutinized
participants will reach the finals to put a big show. With the sense of backing
and the spirit of competition, these events will strengthen the morality of
class.
Many think
that the ultimate aim of ‘E for English’ is to produce a fine speaker but it
doesn’t turn out to be that way. We try to provide the required awareness over
the need of English throughout the four years of study and to spread smiles of
satisfaction. These competitions with mighty themes will be a strong bridge
that fills the gap between preparation and performance and so, undoubtedly, they
are the need of the hour.
