Seems like the 6th round of ccb counselling brought with it some great news after the dissapointment of the 5th round.
I was finally allotted CSE at NIT Calicut (which I deserved in the 5th round if CCB hadn't messed up 
).
It was exhilarating, phone calls to make, stuff to pack up, tickets to book..! Getting the "No Dues" certificate stamped all over the campus was irritating though.. although it was done somehow…
So.. car to delhi.. 12 hours of pain.. night over at le meridien (amazing hotel) early flight to calicut.. (via mumbai AND coimbatore
So, went in.. took some time finding where the admissions were taking place, though the process went smooth enough (unlike the running around in NIT Hamirpur)..
Okay everything going great, then they dropped the bombshell, hostel office is closed (was saturday), please come back on monday (and btw, parent must be there)..
We ran to calicut city.. wasted time looking for a hotel and finally landed up in Hotel Asma Towers (decent for the price). Wasted another 2 days in calicut city trying to comprehend malayali and returned on monday morning to find a long queue for the hostel admission..
Somehow we got the room (finally) to find out that the inmates had gone home for Onam (and locked the room in the process), so.. after standing and roaming around for 5~6 hours with no one coming to open the door, I realised that something was wrong and got a temp room allotted.
Stayed there somehow for 4 more days and finally, the guys returned today. After shifting and unpacking all my luggage (have to reduce it.. way too much).. finally settled down..
Now looking forward to classes beginning from monday!
Board Results came out
English 78
Maths 100
Physics 100
Chemistry 96
Computer Science 99
Physical Edu 86
No Idea what went wrong in English, paper was the best I'd written. Turns out a lot of others who are very good in english got similar low marks, whereas less deserving candidates received 90+. We will be sending for re-evaluation but hope's low looking at past cases.. Its sad when CBSE evaluators mark papers in this manner..
Oh Well..
Overall the results are great 
The Board Exams are finally over!
Time to rejoice.. or is it?
With the IITJEE looming over the horizon, I doubt there's going to be much fun up ahead, but hey, its one hurdle cleared.
Boards started on the 2nd, going on at full swing.
Chemistry, Physics and English over : expecting to get good marks on them.
Maths is on Saturday, seems like forever…
CS and PE should be fun
Apprehensive about April and May though.. IITJEE, AIEEE, BITSAT..
Lets see what's in store
