There are innumerable private students of Institute Of Engineering (IOE), who even after completing their final year, haven't received their transcripts. Some are striving for clearing their back-papers while others, tired and frustrated, taking exams relentlessly and failing with just few marks deficit. Some have even given-up their hopes as to any possibility of receiving their degrees. Still others have already surrendered to their failures making up their minds to do something else in their life. What can be more pathetic and unfortunate to the students, their parents and to the country itself is that, even after investing lakhs of money and four valuable years of life, students still fail to become engineers! What an irony!
I have already discoursed in my previous posts as to why nepalese society adores the careers of doctor, engineer and pilot. As much it is a matter of pride and joy to the students, more than that it is to their parents, when their children get admission in engineering. Associated with it is the hope, aspiration and ambition of both the parents and the students. It is a matter of earning a prefix in front of one's own name, which, unlike one's surname, does not come as an inheritance from the parents. Along with its completion comes name, fame, wealth, prestige and honour. One turns out to be a significant and prominant personality after getting this degree. But, when, even after taking exams over and over again, a student fails to pass, then the tragedy begins. Life, as much it is beautiful after being an engineer, can be as horrible too, if one fails to pass. It is not easy to escape the aversion and detestation from the society. It takes a lot of courage and tactfulness of such a student to survive in the friends circle, family and the society. Not everybody is clever to hide their weaknesses. Some find really very difficult to answer the questions like, "So you've completed your engineering huh, so what now are you going to do next?" or something like, "Where are you working these days?" The worst of all is when one is addressed by "Engineer Sa'ab" in the friends circle, in the family or among relatives.Time and again, To sprinkle salt to one's wound, one will also be hearing the gossips of his/her marriage. Finally one ends up being a shit of lie loosing one's confidence day by day until he/she becomes absolutely miserable.

Nice to see a site containing all the woes of the failed students.
But all I have to say is it is not only IOEs mistake that students fail. I have failed many times and i have realized that the only way out to get out of this trauma or to study, study very hard. One of many reasons that we private students fail is that we neglect our study many times. And one thing we got to realize is that we cant be enginner only by paying lakhs of money. We must study hard too to get a prestigious degree.
