My first ever POM exam:
Shaky legs, sweaty
palms, nervous disposition……..no they were certainly not me on my very first
POM exam day. For it was a very different day. I my life of 26 years I have
appeared in many exams , but this one was quite different from the rest. This
was an exam in which I hardly studied anything from the book, yet I was confident. This was a brand
new teaching methodology which was being put to use, LEARNING THROUGH BLOGS is
the new buzzword in NITIE.
This is a new initiative by our professor Dr. T Prasad
aka Dr. Mandi. This new methodology forced us to rethink our basic foundations
of rote learning. It forced us to be creative and innovative. This aspect
showed in the exam too, we as students were writing answers , not from the
books, but from the engaging discussions we had inside the classroom as well as
the brainstorming we have to do in our blogs. In my opinion exams are a means
of testing knowledge as well as a rigorous test of our managing skills too, be
it time management, pressure handling, of a test of knowledge, exams push us to
our limits.
