Examination System at IILM:

The examination system in IILM is run according to the University if Bradford. Here we have a 2 semester system leaving aside the zero term which helps polish the transition between school to college.

Each year we start with a zero term which is designed to make us understand and get used to the various concepts which we will face throughout the year. This term holds great importance in dealing with the courses in the semesters that follow. Both semesters are a good balance of easy, interesting and challenging courses. In the first semester courses such as Quantitative methods of Information management have challenged us and enriched us at the same time, second semester courses only get more interesting.

Examination time is stressful in every student’s life and IILM tries its level best to ease the process for us. Each of our lecturers provided us with enough time to revise and fully understand what the exam format expects out of us. Previous year’s revision papers are made available for the students and the lecturers guide us through.

The best method of preparation is for the students to practice questions in an examination environment, and IILM understand this need. Every semester we have a series of mock exams which emulate the Bradford examination system hence preparing students adequately for the final term.

Hence examinations are a much dreaded period in every student’s life but IILM makes it as easy as an institute can.

Voting

Hey all… well the topic might not be interesting as you would have read about it every where but trust me the content is worth a check out..

Lok-Sabha 2009 election was schedule for  7^th may in Delhi and Haryana, it was then when I casted my first lok-sabha vote cause it was, my 1^st election after I became 18…wooo hell lot of responsibility..

 

It was my first vote.. I was so excited to look at the machine, the booth officer and all the country men and women who would come there with same or different opinions.

 

I still remember I was so enthusiastic that day, specially to cast my vote I got up at 8’o, clock in the morning and got ready before my dog could actually finish his morning food..offff

 

While on the way to voting-booth I asked my dad around 10,000 questions and my mum was laughing at me.. offffff I still don’t know why was she laughing, I mean com’mon I was not acting wired I was just inquisitive.

 

Finally when I reached the voting booth I saw 100 to 150 people and a great feeling of nationality roared in me, which usually come out during the time of a cricket match between India and Pakistan…lolzz…

but on a serious note , I was scared and I asked my dad one question..

“Dady, is it important to vote”

my dad, said “what’s wrong” ,

I was like.. “nothing really but it’s a great responsibility and moreover 1 vote would not make a difference but might spoil up things more”,

my dad turned at me that moment and said, “it would make a difference, you belong to this country and people have sacrificed their life to get this right of voting, you should be proud of your rights not insult them by ignoring. So make up your mind and take your decision wisely”.

 

At that moment I felt ‘REAL’..

I am a teenager and people like me often do things which are only cool and stay away from politics and all …..but that time when I finaly went to the booth and had that mark on my fingure I was fealing “an Indian”.

When I went there I knew whom to vote for and the best part was not because my mum and dad wanted me to vote for him,

Nor because my boy-friend wanted me to vote for him,

Not because he had manipulative speeches,

Not because he had film star to campaign for his party,

Not because once he was a famous film star,

Not because he was a famous cricketer,

Not because he had good relations with my favorite actor,

Not because he is a son of a famous politician,

 

BECAUSE I HAD FULL CONFIDENCE ON MY DECISION AND I KNEW HE AND HIS SUPPORTIVE PARTY COULD DO AND HAVE DONE WONDERS IN PAST AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO IN PRESENT AND FUTURE.

 

I VOTED FOR ‘AJAY MAKHAN- UPA’.

 

In this whole experience of voting I had learnt An encouraging lesson of growing up and standing firm on decision, I am proud to be an Indian.

 

Trust me guys… voting and being an Indian is not out of fashion nor is it ‘not cool’ or ‘crummy’… if you have not casted your vote this time then indulge your self from starting in the next elections, know the name of the candidates , know the name of the parties evolved and know the name of the person you want to vote, know his portfolio, know his past and present area of working because “your right move will decide the ruling party who can make all the moves in the country”….

 

And trust me “YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE”.

 

Keep voting

 

For a change I wont say ciao…

 

Jai hind…
