Exams and Study Culture
The exam periods were intense, creating an atmosphere of focused urgency across the campus. The library and study rooms were perpetually packed with students, each attempting to cram an entire semester’s worth of material into just a few days. The air was thick with concentration, as individuals hunched over their books and laptops, highlighting important points and making last-minute notes. Group studies became a lifeline, with friends and classmates coming together to tackle challenging subjects. In these sessions, the exchange of knowledge was invaluable; someone’s strength in one area often compensated for another’s weakness. Difficult concepts were broken down and explained, fostering a collaborative learning environment that emphasized mutual support. The nights before exams were particularly gruelling, often characterized by minimal sleep. Students relied heavily on caffeine, in the form of coffee or energy drinks, to keep their minds alert. The urgency to grasp and master key concepts led to intense study marathons that stretched into the early hours of the morning.
When the exams finally ended, a wave of relief and exhaustion swept over everyone. The physical and mental toll was evident, but so was the sense of accomplishment. The collective experience of late-night study sessions, the anxiety of the exams, and the subsequent relief brought everyone closer together, forging bonds that went beyond mere academic collaboration.
NIT Agartala Campus Experience
Stepping onto the campus of NIT Agartala for the first time was an exhilarating experience. I still remember the date, 9th November 2022, as a freshman in the Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) department, I was filled with a mix of excitement and anxiety. The sprawling green campus and modern buildings painted a picturesque view of what lay ahead. However, it didn’t take long for the initial euphoria to give way to the reality of engineering education.
