Graduation or Post Graduation in India? The students life of two degrees

Graduation vs Post graduation and which provides a better college life has always been a matter of debate among my friends.(Mind you the blog is strictly nonacademic)

The moment you enter any post graduation programme, you find a big change in the course structure, the working environment, placements and most important THE FUN OF GRADUATION. Some people(including me) say graduation is more fun while some people(though i believe there wont be many) say that Post Grad is more fun

I believe that life in Graduation is more fun , more thrilling, friends are more adventurous, and in private colleges like mine the placements are almost the same. I’m sure someone has already told you to do what you love, follow your dreams and ask yourself, “Is this what Steve Jobs would do?,” whenever a crisis arises. They do not tell you the actually useful things.

There are no rules in adulthood/post graduation. On the surface, this sounds exciting. But bottom line is post graduation life gets a bit boring if you count the fun factor and you have to live by certain rules if you are not open minded.

People are dressed more formally,friends are less adventurous, duties of life are imposed on you, the placements are the pillars to your future, the thinking becomes one directional when you pursue a PG programme.

In graduation the students are dreamers. Most of them actually want to be entrepreneurs, are willing to enter new fields, and you actually learn how to live life.

Post graduation becomes a dress rehearsal of graduation minus the fun, the excitement, the curiosity and the Soul of college life seems to be bit blurry. There is less bunking of classes, you actually know what subjects you are studying, there are few road-trips the parties are more sober, there are few night outs, and the girls want a serious relationship as the marriage card starts playing in their minds

Yes you study your subjects in Depth in Post Grad, yes you are more exposed to your field, yes you get more mature, yes you still hang out with your friends and yes you get better placements(if your PG is from a very good college) but may be its just the Gen X factor that seems to be a bit blurry to me.

But that just my thinking about the post graduation life as for me the graduation was real life. What are your views?

Disclaimer : The truth is, your next steps might be daunting. But the beauty of it is that your college experience is what you make it. And everyone's path is different: some go right into the working world, while others seek out a different kind of adventure. Wherever you go, though, you might not make this transition again. So make the most of it, and remember to enjoy it.
