Hi, This is Rashikesh Thakur a IT Branch student (2025–2029) from VGI, Indore, affiliated to RGPV.
When I first entered college, I thought life would be quite straightforward — attend lectures, give exams, and complete the degree.
But after a few months, I realised I was just following a routine without actually improving myself.
Teaching & Guidance – better than I assumed:
In the beginning, I felt that teachers would only complete the syllabus.
But later I noticed that some faculties genuinely guide you, especially when you show interest.
Whether it’s about projects or doubts, they are helpful — but only if you are willing to put in effort.
Extra Activities – where I actually improved:
Most of my real learning happened outside the classroom:
- Being part of GFG as Technical Scripter winner 15 Day streak.
- Participating (and even winning) in VGI hackathons
- Taking part in Fests.
- Attending IEEE workshops
College Atmosphere – something positive:
One thing I really liked is that the college maintains an anti-ragging environment
Seniors are friendly and supportive, and there is a culture of helping juniors instead of creating fear.
Now even I try to guide juniors whenever I can — whether it’s related to coding or general doubts.
Academic Structure – how things work
The academic system follows the RGPV pattern:
- Mid semester exams
- End semester exams
- Tutorials and pre-university tests.
Though My first Semester Result has not Declared yet by RGPV but I predicted it to crack 8+ SGPA in every semester.
Key things I realised:
- Only attending classes is not enough
- You need to explore beyond academics
- Exposure plays a big role in growth
- Helping others also improves your own understanding
Advice for upcoming students:
- If you are planning to join college, don’t just focus on the name or tag.
- Look at the opportunities available and make the most out of them.
- And if you get a chance to take responsibility like becoming a Campus Mantri, definitely try it — it helps in building confidence and connections.
Ending note:
College didn’t transform me instantly…
But small efforts, experiences, and participation slowly made a difference.
And that’s what truly matters.
