First Time College and all the Complexity ! The FFCS !!

Well it was the first time for most of us to realise there was more to time-tables and 8 to 1 classes . And this was the time we were introduced to the system of FFCS ! The one thing about VIT that is fantastic and also dreadful .

Okay , so the system is Fully Flexible Credit System . Probably the only in the country . It allows the students to choose their teachers , their time tables , their class locations and what not . But for a first timer it is hair-splitting ! The night before the FFCS registration was crazy for every fresher cause no one knew what to do and after it was done no one knew what they had done !

It is a great system,I mean what else can you ask for?Today we like to make decisions on our own and like to plan their future by ourselves. The choice available of selecting the subject is great and better than any other system present where you have to do what the college decides for you . How monotonous can that be !

 Personally ,There is no doubt that this system works ! And to be very honest if someone from another university is told about it  the Only thing to be heard is Envy ! And it is just not me who thinks that way,the entire country does and that is probably why the Vice President (University Affairs), Sekar Viswanathan was selected for the 'Young Achiever National Award'. This award was given mainly for the success of our FFCS system . So in the end you can't deny that the system in all its complexity is the best !But being the best has to be accompanied with efficient management and right now,most students are finding it a tad difficult to cope with it as they aren't aware of how to work it to their advantage.So I'd say the FFCS in all its glory still has a long way to go to win our(students) hearts completely! :)
