Student Data Change Form: Fill & Download for Free

Hey everyone, I am currently pursuing Mechanical Engineering from PEC, Chandigarh and I am in 2nd Year. So whatever I will be writing here would be regarding the Academic Year 2019–2020 Only. First of all I must clarify that branch change or branch up-gradation in PEC occurs after First Semester and NOT after First Year.Regarding the branch change, there are certain rules for that :Branch Change occurs depending upon the vacancies in the branch you are targeting to move in.A Minimum of 8 CGPA is required after first semester to fill Branch Change Form.The higher the CGPA, higher are your chances of getting a better branch.The data for branch change occurring every year is pretty much inconsistent. Talking about the 2019–2020 scenario, these were the outcomes that I could draw :Two students who secured 10 CGPA were upgraded to CSE (both were from Electrical Engineering) and no other CGPA less than 10 CGPA was enough for CSE this year. What you can conclude from this is that, if you get a 10 CGPA, you will be upgraded to CSE irrespective of the fact whether there are vacancies in CSE or not.This year at about 8.25 CGPA, students were able to get Mechanical and Electrical Engineering regardless of the branch in which they were presently studying before up-gradation.For ECE, the cutoff CGPA was about >9.25 CGPA and the rest of Point 2 applies here as well.One interesting thing to note is that, leaving CSE, there were a number of students from branches like Production, Metallurgy etc. who got upgraded to ECE, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. This implies that irrespective of your branch, if you score good in first semester you will get the results that you deserve!!Talking about the ease with which one can upgrade, I must say that securing a CGPA of about 8.5 doesn’t requires a hell lot of effort. One always says “Bhai boht padna padta hai” and all but deep down we all know its not that much difficult as it is described to be. There are some of friends of mine who CLAIMED to study just a night or two nights before and had secured 8.75 CGPA. But anyday it is not RECOMMENDED.So it all depends on the determination you have to change your branch.Hope it helps!!*But for the academic year 2020–21, branch up-gradation will happen after 1st year or after 2nd semester, unlike previous years*Bhargav Aggarwal

John Medina, in his book Brain Rules, introduces data that forms the following graph:The data shows that student attention level takes a dive, approximately 10 minutes into a lesson. This is a natural occurrence (and I believe the reason YouTube videos were initially limited to <9 minutes), but can be dealt with by a good instructor. The problem is most instructors (particularly at the university level) know next to nothing about the learning process and instructional theory. A good instructor will introduce variation into a lesson every 10 minutes to regain the students' attention (as depicted in the below graph).This variation can be accomplished in many ways - from inserting a student activity to asking questions or otherwise soliciting involvement from the students to changing the delivery style or mechanism.The problem is that so many instructors see instructing as a one-way communication. If a student is not contributing to the communication, they lose focus and many literally go to sleep.There are other triggers for sleeping during lessons, such as eating a large meal immediately before the lesson, poor ventilation in the classroom, and tired students.

YES - YES - YESI'm not a doctor. I have been a chronic pain patient for 52 years so far. I have had experience with Stadol as a strong pain reliever at 15mg/day for 6 months in a phase 3 study, with codeine as the break-through med; codeine, oxycodone and Oxycontin for 10 years and finally 15 years of morphine. Morphine changed my life from waking up in tears every morning wishing I was dead to being able to solve my other medical problems and be able to lead a reasonably normal life with the pain "controlled". At the time I got into a real pain clinic there was a recently published journal article advocating that people who had been denied adequate treatment with opioids for 20 years or more should continue to be denied treatment because (paraphrased) "they rarely respond the way we would like to see" and so "your numbers will look bad".So, if you looked at me in 1999 after 10 years on minimal opioids that worked poorly, I was a treatment failure. Oxycodone actually caused terrible pain in my hands and feet, which was gone in a week after starting morphine. The amounts were inadequate and the oxycodone was a poor choice. I had lots of side effects and little pain relief from it. The day before morphine I got my usual 3-5 hours of poor sleep. The next 2 days I slept 14-16 hours daily and then down to 8 hours nightly.The problem with needing opioids for pain control made sure I was the patient no one wanted. All the doctors wanted to avoid giving me opioids but not tell me that there was no way in hell they would ever prescribe them. In doing that they ignored my other 200 symptoms totally except to use test results to call me a liar. I was a despised pain sufferer, a despised sufferer of "an imaginary woman's disease" (fibromyalgia, after they named it) and a despised sufferer of "yuppie flu" after they recognized it. I was called lots of names from liar to hypochondriac to conversion disorder to medical student (data geek) disease, "It's All In You Head" any of a dozen other ways and was even asked if I had ever been diagnosed with schizophrenia or psychosis because I had to be TOLD by a doctor that I was not being prescribed opioids and not told that was the plan, to deny, deny deny without ever telling me that opioids would always be denied. They lied to me for decades. There literally said “There is no way to treat the pains you have”. In 1989 I entered a six month trial of transnasal Butorphanol (Stadol). The 15 mg when I titrated to it was utterly fantastic. It was equivalent effective to about 180mg of morphine daily and I was out of hell for the first time since February 9, 1972 at 9:30 am. So when when I didn't understand that the doctor wondered if I was psychotic because I didn't "get it", that they would not prescrib the type of medication that did treat my pains. Other doctors accused me of being a secret alcoholic because of blood test results instead of recognizing severe folate and b12 deficiencies despite "normal" range tests.I went to over 100 doctors trying to get a diagnosis on ANYTHING and then get effective treatment. Being in severe chronic pain without an "obvious" cause (you mean 3 broken vertebrae, a multitude of damaged disks, over extension of dorsal horn nerve roots causing nerve damage from a broadsided crash of a truck running a red light wasn't enough?) not to mention tons of damage from the undiagnosed deficiencies.More than one doctor wanted to put me on major atypical antipsychotics as a "sleep aid" instead of treating the pain. Trazadone gave me insomnia. Not a single drug worked well except Dilantin and 2400mg of Ibuprofen, and those barely touched the total pain.Morphine returned me to the world of the living and willing to continue living. It still does. After 15 years I'm actually taking 40% less morphine than I needed before starting AdoCbl, MeCbl, L-methylfolate and L-carnitine fumarate that reversed most of the 200 other symptoms and healed a great deal of the deficiency damage, incidentally reducing most of the pains not from the damage between 90 and 100%.I think that long term opioids are the only treatment that works for a lot of people. I think that long term opioid therapy is a God-send for many of us. Without it I wouldn't have been able to solve my other problems and would have died more than a decade ago. I think that long term opioids are appropriate for chronic pain. Nobody should have to suffer endlessly because of opioid denial.Let me give you a hint. There are a lot of people in severe chronic pain because nerves and muscles selectively starving to death for want of AdoCbl, MeCbl, L-methylfolate (all 3 the human active forms) and l-carnitine fumarate become hypersensitive and start self generating pain and makes all pains worse. The damage and pain itself may even be the trigger for getting into the 4 way deadlock of those 4 nutrients.Expanded and updated information at Fred Davis's answer to Has someone used a MeCbl treatment for patients or has been treated with MeCbl? What for and what were the outcomes?
