Does IT matter?

we finally had the SAIT exam today. 2 minutes into the exam and we realised that some 60 odd questions were missing from the paper. junta nowadays is not bothered about anything weird that happens at the exam hall. they have been thru one helluva exam drama a few weeks back. so all this was just chill types. but then the rest of the questions were over in less than 15 mins. so most people were sitting idle during an exam that was actually 2 hrs, while the people incharge were trying to find out what went wrong.

well - bloody hell, we dont have a part of the question paper and do you still need to do a root cause analysis? and then after another 15 mins, we got the rest of the question paper. finally i got over with that nonsense in another 20 odd mins. in all, i was out in one hour.

so, we come back to this question on my subject line - does IT matter? well, IT matters definitely for a large number of organisations in the fortune 500 list. but definitely not for us. it doesnt matter at all.

and then we had this whole bungled event in the evening at the Audi. the elected student board was discussing this whole issue of exam postponement and they till the end, they never stood up to what mistakes were made from their side(im suren there was some mistake). in effect, they did not say that we screwed up and we are sorry. all that was said was said in a very polished manner and this irritated a lot of people. its not any complaint that i have. nor have i the intention to impeach anyone. i just want people to be honest and tell the rest that these are some places were we actually screwed up and its our mistake. but no one said anything like that. in that case, does it mean that all the student reps did a flawless job. then, did the administration screw up? did the prof screw up? we still dont know the answers for all this. well, this is not a big crime. its just adding to the fun.

but, for all what happened in the last few weeks regarding the whole thing about postponing the exam to today, finally the paper that was given to us had less than 20% of questions from the cases for which students did not have access. but still, all those questions were discussed in some way or the other during the class discussions. so, in effect, the exams neednt have been postponed.
