My current CGPA is 3.23 and I am doing my second last semester for BSc Electrical & Electronic Engineering at AIUB. I have never really cared about my grades and it won’t matter what my CGPA is/was, so long as it was over 3.0. Why work my ass off memorizing every minute detail and study all night, when I can just do the minimum to not fail? We are so lazy where I am. Only a tiny fraction of the people I know strike me as truly dedicated and knowing what they are doing. The rest of us are either winging it or just trying to get the highest grade possible so we can get into a job and forget everything we learned as an undergrad.
To me all CGPA means is you can read a book better than the next guy and me. I know plenty of people who have much much higher cgpa’s compared to me. CGPA is meaningless a lot of the time, but you still need a decent CGPA.
One of the worst things about AIUB is that cgpa is everything (well, almost) here. It’s all okay if you have a good cgpa – you’ll get to have good link with dean, faculty, admin – you can get things done. But if you have a low cgpa, the same ppl will show abuses upon you in front of the whole class, even the staff ppl will make you wait for every small thing and make you feel like a useless piece of shit.
New rules keep popping up everyday. One more thing, when you are in AIUB, you have no freedom to speech. If you say something against the institution rules, you might have to face the end result. It is due to this fear that I’m not going to write any further. But I must say i have learnt a lodss of things from different kind of ppl in AIUB.
It’s because of all these bad things about AIUB that I’m glad I’ll be leaving this place soon.- PEACE
