An insight survey says that personal passion or interests of students such as gaming, facebook, movie or start-ups keeps most students away from study books. No one can believe that IITians do not study but it’s true. Insight, the student media body of the institute, asked this question on the campus and got the answer.
The main agenda of the survey was to find out how much time IITians spend on academics and their distractions. Less than 20 per cent of the over 550 respondents studied for over three hours a day but 50 per cent did not study at all till there are “exams”.
The survey revealed 75 per cent of students do not spend time on academics unless there are upcoming assignments and about 15 per cent study in general when they are not “cornered” by deadlines.
“On the basis of our survey, we observe that there seem to be a variety reasons why students don’t study at IITB. We aim to exclusively analyse how a lack of zeal for our courses is one of major reasons for academic apathy…In keeping with the institute’s vision statement, passion in science and technology should ideally be the reason for a student to seek admission in IIT Bombay. However, we have come to find that many students generally don’t tend to have a single concrete aim or reason for entering IITs and there is a clear mismatch of ideals at the entry point,” the newsletter said.
