Thewidevariation in the pass percentagebetweenboysand girlsuniformly inall the branchesis tobe viewedseriously.DearVidyaBoys,What is happening to you? This may be a general trend in Kerata. But can we just leave it as such. If you cannot achieve thesimple targetof a B.Tech Degree in lime, what futurecan youexpect?The fact thatoneshouldacquire a lot other skillsapart fromyour resultspercentageas per the presentemploymentrequirement,howwill youmanagewith thesebacklogs?The Indian family culture revolves around and depends a lot on the male generation. You cannot survive without a decent jobwhile theother gendercan stillmanage.This beinga fact, youboyscannotaffordto havesuch examinationdebacles. P

There could be physical and mental changes that are happening to boys in the late teens, but you should develop the rightattitude if youhaveto achieve your goals.I am confident that Vidyaboyswill take it in the right spirit.The future resultswill proveyour capabilities. 'rouwere all so brightandtalented andthat is howyougot intothe EngineeringstreaminVidya.Nothing shouldchangeyour target.DearGirls,Congratulations for your excellent performance. Also remember, the boys are fast runners and you should maintain and aimhigheranddo not allowthem to overtake you.With bestwishes,
