Dual Degree Students,

As you all know, we have we have a 2 credit Viva course this semester -  ME7983. I spoke with the HOD's office today and they want to wrap it up by the end of November. The ideal time they could come up with, considering placements and end semester examinations is 24th November afternoon from 1 PM to 6 PM. Note that this shouldn't cause much of a problem for students taking F slot end semester examination on 26th since 25th is a holiday.

Please let me know if you any concerns about this late by tomorrow evening. Else, the above-mentioned date will be considered final.


Thanks,
Kalyan Vasudev

Correction in the earlier mail. It's not grand viva, it is a 2 credit viva voce course which is independent of our DDP.

Short notice, don't you think? Can't we have it after placement?

It happened on December 8 last year.

Why squeeze it in the period that people use for placement preparation? How about mid - december?

If it is held during third week of December it will be peaceful for both people sitting in placements and people who are apping. It seems reasonable.

I think it will be possible for them to shift the dates. Doesn't look like they were in a hurry to conduct it in any case, considering they didn't tell us until now (that too after one of us found out). 

And I think it is a very short notice. Whatever be the number of credits attached to it.

The HoD office has apparently received strict instructions from Dean to report the viva grades before December and they have been reprimanded in the past for not doing so. Thus, this time they definitely want to conduct it on 24th to 26th Nov. This is what the HoD office staff told me. I tried convincing her to shift it to Mid-december but she wouldn't budge!.

Yeah if anyone can negotiate, please do so at the earliest.

Hi,

I tried talking to HoD, but he was out of town and would be back only by Thursday. I will try to convince him to have Viva in December. I will update you on this after meeting him on Thursday.
