When the "VIVA" season is over, the only word that can describe any engineering students state is RELIEF.
Here are certain rules and observations that can be applied to vivas:
1. The external examiner shall never come on time. He/She has to be a minimum of 1 hr late.
2. Vivas shall never be good, they can just be bad, worse or worst.
3. The professor shall make all effort possible to confuse you.
4. The student shall be asked a minimum of one question that he/she cannot answer. Following the question, there will be many such questions from the same topic that the question belonged to.
5. The student shall find that asking questions that he/she cannot answer is not a form of revenge but it actually gives a sense of fulfillment to the internal examiner.
6. If vivas were to be recorded on video camera, the expressions on students face's can feature in world's best comedy videos.
7. Student has to agree with the examiner under all circumstances eventually only to learn that it was an idea to confuse him/her and get the wrong answer from him/her.
8. The only aim of vivas is to let students know that they know nothing of the concerned subject. Its a waste of time sitting in front of the two greats of the subject and trying to answer their googlies.

wow...hillarious...:D
great observations..!!...exact 2 the point....quite accurate result, actually...gud 1..
You must certainly give it in some newspaper.It will give you a great deal of fame and part-time income.
Two rules that you might like to include:
9.The external examiner has an unavoidable habit of asking questions which are out of the current syllabus, to which the students are not supposed to object.
10.The external examiner might not have his own concepts clear about the topic, even to this, the students are not supposed to object.(If you remember, I gave u one of my friend's example on this point.)
11.The external examiner is to be considered as mirror image of Ricky Ponting which refrains anyone of speaking,arguing,talking against him/her.Doing so might result in him failing in his practicals.Parallely, the internal examiner is to be considered as ICC speaking against whom might cost a student his practicals as well as term work.
Lol. Truthful and straight to the point !
