PSG TECH-a turning point in my life

This blog is just to share my experience of entering M.Sc software Engineering at PSG TECH Coimbatore.here goes how my life started at PSG TECH.......It all started with entrance coaching conducted in PSG...... I came to PSG Tech for entrance coaching,all the way from karaikudi since my uncle is working here and my dream was to join in PSG TECH from my childhood since my chitti(my mom's own sister/inspiration,guide,best friend) studied there and she is currently in US.The coaching went well.In that time my desire to join PSG TECH reached its peak.As soon as writing my entrance examinations i told everyone in my family that i won't join any college other than PSG.Then the 12th results came.Me and my dad went to school to see the scores.I scored 1154/1200 and centum in Mathematics.My parents felt proud and everyone in my family were very glad to see my scores.I was literally flying in ninth cloud.Then my entrance examination results came.I scored only 80/100(cutoff as 278/300) and fortunately or unfortunately I belong to FC(Forward Caste).It was very clear that i wont get BE(CSE/IT/ECE) in PSG. My family members preferably wanted me to choose one among these streams since i am a girl.Though i will get one among this courses in many good colleges i was streamlined to PSG TECH.At this time i was remembered of my uncle telling about an integrated course called M.Sc software engineering when i was doing my entrance coaching.I started asking my uncle about the course and my uncle is also interested in taking me into that course so he started telling my family members about that new course.I was ready to take that course since my intention was to enter into PSG TECH but all my family members were concerned about the duration(5 years) and expense.My house was in chaos.Then my chitti told everyone that she did her job perfectly well by getting good scores so we shouldn't restrict her to anything .....let her decide.Then she supported me fully to take my own decision and go with that.
I submitted the application for that course.I got selected for the interview.I attended the MSc software Engineering Interview on june 29th(My birthday).I got selected and the college
started on july 7th.Within a week's time we paid the fees,got the admission in hostel,entered into hostel everything is done.
The story doesn't come to an end even here...then after a month comes the Anna University Counselling for B.E...then everyone wanted me to give it a try....since all my originals was in the college here i should get signature from my HOD and some more formalities were there....we were in a dilemma whether to attend or ignore this....finally i didn't attend the counselling at all...
everyone of my class mates,seniors would have experienced all these....all that will definitely run through their mind when reading this blog.....("gyabagam varuthe")other college students may have a different experience....

I did my schooling in karaikudi and

doing my internship at Intel Bangalore....
going to get settled somewhere..."yaar arivaaro!!"
