It'll look really good on your resume

"It'll look very good on your resume.They're the best people in India in robotics and have organized workshops all over the country,including IITs.They also provide you a certificate towards the end of the workshop".
The first Yearite is flattered."A workshop in robotics from the best people!wow!Money will come and go,I better not miss this opportunity",he thinks.
He signs the paper.
He's fucked.

Let's better get to the point straight.All through the first year,your seniors will come to your room in groups of 3-5.They'll tell you about the workshops/event.They'll also tell you it's benefits and their own experience with it when they were in 1st year.Then they'll give you a paper and a pen.And then you'll be made to sign it.

Beware.

I wasted around 1600Rs on such a workshop which I did not care to visit after the first day.Many of my friends wasted much more money on workshops such as cloud computing,ethical hacking,IC cars.

Explain it to me like I am a 6 year old.What can a three day workshop teach your about robotics?Oh yeah!assembly.They very generously give your group(in our case it comprised 8 fools,me included) the various components and teach you how to assemble it.I'll tell you what.Open your laptop and go to YouTube.You can learn anything,from robotics to donkey-porn and whatnot.

You can spend this money on upgrading your computer's hardware,eating good food or even saving it.Believe me,if you don't do this,you'll be writing such a post to your juniors an year later.

Never sign for any such workshops.Never pay more than 50RS for any cultural event,be it Ganesh Chaturthi or Ugadi special lunch.


This is the perfect answer to all those seniors who come into your room disturbing your peace,taking your money and leave you repenting.
