I absolutely hate the way we are taught programming in Indian colleges.

FML #1: I'm pursuing a UG CS course, and this semester, I only had one subject of Computers, that too only 1 credit. The rest with all electronics.

FML #2: In that 1 credit course, we had to make a C++ project which had "data handling". No one cares if you build something cool or not, just that a project should have "extensive use" of data handling.

FML #3: Source code had to be >= 1000 lines. This is the only place where ADDING MORE LINES OF CODES THAN REDUCING IT is appreciated. Had to stuff my code with all kinds of comments and violating the basic principle of DRY.

So, yeah, we're fucked big time. 😥

Being doing ug cs from India, I can feel u bro.

Ugh man.... feel u bro.

At least the other courses are electronics and not math :/

Well, things are becoming clearer to me...

Been there! Put some Lorem Ipsom in it! I am sure they won't check your code, only the number of pages.

@Raamakrishnan "Lorem ipsom, your assignment is bullshit"

Complaining the system is easy fixing it is not. Seriously guys? if u thnk the system is bad (which is ,I agree) what have done on your part to make it good? How many conferences , seminars, mettups have u organised in ur college?near ur college or in ur state and do you aspire and find out some time to go and teach students ?hell no most of us dnt do anything rather sit here on our asses complaining. The time you used to post that rant could be utilised to give someone education which u think is better to someone underprivileged . Moral : get ur asses off and try to be the part of the change that u want to c rather that complaining or in more sincere and humble words dnt cry like a bitch

Studying bca, we have accountancy and management as a subject and the syllabus consists of everything that one studies in +2 commerce.
So yeah, I know that feel bro :|

@vatsalmob studying financial accounting in sem2 was the greatest pain in the ass for me

@makkBit y do we even have to study accounts? Its pointless

@vatsalmob yeah they include these pointless subjects n miss many important subjects.

@makkBit No knowledge goes in vain. U should be feeling very lucky that you get to study extra subjects . Look at students from Stanford or Harvard's don't they do well in CS? The truth is they outperform many others and the best part is they follow a credit based liberal arts approach in which you have to study many other courses . U can be an excellent programmer at the same time be excellent in business or management studies .

The good thing about this is that you're learning to operate within restrictions. Sure, it's fucking trash right now, but as you start writing more code, you will be resilient to dick bosses and peers. It's not pleasant, but it's not a delta function of horrible and useless. - Person who's been in both systems.

Haha, all course codes should start with #FML. I'm gonna use this.
