Project Woes

Well its the Final Semester, and As know al Final year students are required to work and Submit Projects,  
Well Generally Most of the Students Look Into The fact that they have to do it from a Reputed company or Institute.
Our Project Woes Started Before our Final Semester, Me being From the ECE dept were Required to Submit the Project Group name and Abstract in the 1st Semester.
earlier we were asked to Decide Groups for the Final year Project , when it was decided many were scatted as 2-3-4 members in a group.
So our Project Co-ordinator Stepped in and Forced us on the fact that Minimum requirement for a Project is a 3 Member group not a 2 member group.
we talked amongst ourselves and after Long battles and back byting the groups were selected, and During our Lab Final exams they really steamed up the engine by applying a new Rule which requires a student to submit the *abstract* of the Project in order to get the Hal Ticket to the Regular exam.
Every thing went haywire as ppl started going to companies rather than studying for Lab Exams, wasting precious time, and later we were told That no Company was good enough for us to Work in, and we are all required to do the Projects in College Premises itself.
I had submitted for College Premisesdat was that, many others battled to include govt companies but in vain they pleas were rejected, but sme were allowed.
exams goes on holidays pass the first day of 2nd semester starts
Our Project Co-Ordinator walks into the room and announces that all groups are required to perform the project at College premises, and all other projects will be rejected.
and asked us to come the next day for the final decision
The Next day they have a totally new story, all groups are cancelled and we were told to divide ourselves into 2 members per group, rumble broke up, as the general notion was, hu;s going to decide hu;s going to stick with the same project and which Member has to leave the group,
Lot of Friends were put in a difficult position as many fights broke out, many members hadn’t come bk from the holidays and theydidnt know the scenario here, it was every man for himself, fights ..etc
the next day the Class decided to approach the Director and explaining the nature of the problem, but after an 2 hr Debate with her, we didnt get her to agree to any of our terms, but it made us feel dat we were jst some Expendable assets and sacrificial Lambs of the College.
She explained that she earlier had made it clear to the project co-ordinators for ECE dept that she wanted Most of the Groups in College and 2 members per Group, but they Changed the Rules as they didnt have enough Faculty to support 2 member groups as the number will significantly increase.
And the report was submitted to her yesterday ( 30 days after we submitted).
So y did they make us run around like dat, when we could have submitted it now, Holidays would have been a good chance to review Project Titles………
So the Lack of Communication between the Director and the Co-Ordinator resulted in gettin our Asses in the Vice.
in the End we were at the receiving end….
even so now we r not sure wht wil happen tomorrow, maybe 1 member per group- hu knows……………
