Hi,
MSU is a great University but full of politics & curruption. I did my MHRM from this Unv & it was bad experience as I was from Delhi & Profeesiors, dean, etc do not give any preference to students applying from other states but their own. All the Gujrati's get admmission irrespective of the entrance exam being held. Professors & dean gives special preferance to their relatives(who are zero in studies & academic records is weak) & are taken care of throughout the completion of this course. This is my experience that I have gone through - I was not being admitted as I was from Delhi & not from Gujrat. With much debate & logical reasoning I got through it. But believe me throughout the year I was harassed as use to get low grades inspite of performing good in exams. Students who did not perform good used to get better gardes & everyone knew how! Girl gujrati students used to keep on sitting with professors & use to tell them their family problems(maximum are married at early age) due to which they are not able to study.they also used to get good grades. It was very demotivating but I never gave up. In our faculty no one was allowed to raise the voice as direct warnings was given to the student that he/she will get his/her semester extended, etc. Another instance, we have our placements since the beginning of this corse - first year in NGO's & second year in Industeries. During my first placement I was placed all alone(otherwise there is a group of 2 students each) in an Gujrati NGO(inspite of knowing the fact that I do not know the language). My placement supervisor simply said'you must learn the language, its not our problem'.
For rest placements I was always placed alone in such NGO's or industeries which were very far & outside Baroda, where there used to be no female staff like L&T(Ranoli), Bell Ceramics(Bhuj), Alstom, etc. During my placement in one of the NGO I was asked to work with Social workers(all men) in the villages & they all were illiterate & use to talk cheap! On the last day of this field work I told them all that they do not know how to behave infront of a female & I will remember this experience throughout my life - as the project given to me was related to HIV, AIDS, condoms etc.
These professors impossed faulse blame on he as I was involved with my class mate during one of the field works when more than one NGO's were celebrating'International Women's day' at one place. This brough down my grades badly. But when my project officer(at the NGO) came to my college to clear the misunderstanding they understeed but did nothing in regard to my grades. When I raised my voice, the reply I got was'you are lucky enough that your semester is not extended & if you would throw a stone in the wet mud, the splash would ruin your clothes even, so let it go'.
I was devastrated to see their behaviour. I was well bahaved, never used to hang aroung unnessesary in the canteen, never was late for my classes, did all my assignments on time.still discrimination was there.Not much Gujju's talked to me as I did not liked them either. The guys tried to by friendly with me initially but when undestood that I am not those'available kinds' so they utilised there time with other girls.
I had only one friend & his family suppored me there. I spent only one month in the hostel SD & then the warden asked me to leave as she though I am going aroung with guys.
That warden used to supply girls & by doing this she wanted me to please her by doing whatever she asks me to. But I left the hostel & stayed on rent. There was never a peace but I carried on as I wanted to get this degree. In the second year I kept least contact with the proffessors & studied hard. Did my research work also all alone & was able to complete in time - no help for me. Othere students used to please the professors by letting them use their cars & doing their chores after college hours or helping them in a manner or other by asking their influencial father or mother. These students were also placed nicely throughout the 2 year course.
I was highly disappointed in them. Now i am a post graduate but feel least thankful to my Unv. I even worked in HR(Canadian Firm) for 2 years but then switched over to Travel. I am happy here but really feel that if they would have done justice with me, today I might have been doing very good in HR.
Resources are there but I wrong hands!
Think of me, spending my precious 2 years away from home to get good grades but was unnessesarily punished.
On other hand, I learnt a lot from my studies & from the people living there that the world is very bad, if you give up everyone will take undue advantage. Being a female is my drawback as my parents always ask me to be silent over issues but I never do that as I believe in truth alone & am never afraid of saying it loudly!
Thanks!
