Why KEC needs competitions like ‘E for English’?

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.
