The Highest Degree Vs The Final Degree...!!

Hey... Its been a while since I updated this blog, but I encountered something today and just couldnt resist putting up here.

It was my first day at my new office. I was hoping that I would meet new people and expand my network, but it didnt exactly go how I had pictured it to. I was surrounded by people who had come to Office to complete their joining formalities in Slippers.. Pathetic..!!!

Then there was a 'Kodak Moment of the Day'. The HR rep was checking our documents and suddenly I heard the rep's voice:'I am amazed Ramaprasad how have you made so far in IT industry'. This guy was seated besides me a few minutes back and I remember looking at his form. He had scored 82% marks in his 'Highest Degree' and I appreciated him for that.

He was apparently in a verbal spat with the HR rep over something that left me stunned. In the place reserved for Highest Degree details, he had filled in his marks from the 4th year only. When HR Rep tried to explain it to him, he said 'My Highest Degree was my 4th year of college. If you wanted the aggreagate B.Tech percentage you should have asked for the 'Final degree' instead.. I was completely dumbstruck..!!!

I had witnessed another legendary performance from yet another Hyderabadi...!!! After all HYDERABAD IS LIKE THAT ...!!!

Cheers,
Nikhil
