Revaluation – More Stats

Anyone who knows me well also knows that I am one of the biggest customers for VTU’s revaluation. In fact, according to my secret sources, more than half of VTU’s profits can be traced back to a certain Prasanna Pandit. To be precise, VTU has received one revaluation form from me without fail ever since my fourth semester. So now that I no longer get to wait for my results twice any more, I thought I would calculate how much I have gained from the whole thing. From the 10 subjects I had applied for revaluation throughout my engineering, I see I have gained 9 + 0 + 27 + 42 + 7 = 85 marks, which leads to an increase of 1.27% in my aggregate. Not bad at all. Admittedly, I have been luckier than most people when it comes to the R-word.

The final scores are in

I know I run the risk of being called a big-headed marks-crazy freak, but I simply couldn’t stop myself from writing this post. Revaluation results are out, and I got a modest seven marks more in Advanced Computer Architecture. I have long since forgotten how much I really expected from that subject. So now that the final scores are in (I definitely don’t plan to apply for challenge revaluation), here’s how I stand : The extra seven marks mean that my eighth semester percentage goes up by a decent 1.1% taking it to 81.44%. My aggregate of all the semesters rises by 0.2% which means I finish my engineering with 81.61%. Of course, that also means I top the 2003-2007 batch of Computer Science at SJCE, which at one point I had thought was only possible in my wildest dreams.

As for the revaluation this time, I know a lot of people think it was a precious waste of time and money for a small change in the numbers (I had cleared the subject after all), but for me it was four hundred ten rupees well spent!
