M.N.M.Jail Engineering College

TC – Transfer Certificate. Its the receipt to freedom. For me, more specifically, its freedom from M.N.M.Jain Engineering College.

Lets accept the facts. No college requires its passed out student’s particulars for a long time. No alumni would ever want to return to this college every other day. So when both sides want to stay apart at such distances which can be measured in units like only ‘light years’, why is it not happening in our dear old institution.

My department, which is mechanical, has 9 laboratories. The number is not even close, but they want to show that they have some labs. And then, the only 9 professors which my department consists of, are made in charge of one each. Each passed out student is required to get a signature from each lab in charge, stating that he doesn’t owe the lab any thing(Also called as No Due). The joking fact about my dear department is that, we are being forced to compulsorily submit a book to our department library, which is one of the above mentioned labs. Only then will the in charge sign.

I had gone to my college on Wednesday. This in charge didn’t sign since i refused to donate books. So i went to the HOD.

Me: Sir, I require a sign from the in charge of dept lib, but he is not putting his sign.

HOD: Why

Me: Sir, I am refusing to donate a book to the lib. Hence the problem.

HOD: So donate a book and get his sign.

Me: Yes, but i don’t have books. So i can’t and hence refuse to donate.

HOD: But without donation, we can’t sign.

Me: I cant possibly go buy a book and donate it.

HOD: So i can’t sign

Me: Ok, so what is the next step.

HOD: (Quiet)

Hence i took up the matter with my principal, who immediately called the HOD and informed him of the difference between ‘mandatory’ and ‘obligatory’. Ok first hiccup parched. However i ran out of time and the prof ran out of college and i couldn’t get his sign.

So i went back on Friday. The respective in charge was absent. So i went to the HOD.

Me: Sir, i have to get a sign from the prof in charge of the Dept. Lib.

HOD: Ok.

Me: Sir, He is absent. I request you to sign the form on his behalf.

HOD: I don’t understand you.

Me: I am asking you to sign the form instead of the other prof, who is absent. It will ensure that i can collect my TC today.

HOD: Who are you to tell me what to do.

Me: I am not telling you what to do. I am asking you whether you can sign this form instead of the other prof. This will help me collect my TC today, so that i can go for my Visa Interview in peace. I have my Visa Interview on Monday. So i urgently require the TC today.

HOD: Again don’t tell me what to do. You come back on Monday, and if the prof is present, get his sign and then only come to me.

So i left. I will go on Monday hoping for the presence of the one guy who can sign the goddamn paper which will help me to collect mark sheet. And that day will be added to this post.

I next intend to publicize the pathetic condition this college is in. I would require the help of all the former students, as well as the current students, to help me out in this regards. Only such actions from concerned seniors will help save the college.
