We, because of our young blood, tend to think only about fun, but think of a student in larger point of view. Here in IITD we have many fields to excel in, many things to yearn for. But, whether you like it or not primemost importance is demanded by academics.This institute, this world famous faculty, this money is all spent so that we become 'good' engineers.Some people, either because they're not willing to or are not capable enough, score low grades, low enough to call for attention. For that, there is the SRC which "punishes" such students by limiting their credits and disallowing them any post of responsibility. The idea behind this is, that IIT wants them to devote time for studies. They lessen the workload by reducing both the amount of studies and amount of extra-curriculars.If in this way, he can at least get some passing marks, than what's the problem. We are here to develop our overall personality in all dimensions, fine, but we forget that we still are IITians first and then a dramatist, or a footballer, or a guitarist.

Our country has marked us as above average and is providing us the best possible resources to develop our minds. We are supposed to be excellent in the technical field. Why do we keep forgetting our national responsibilities. The burden of nations expectations should feel heavy enough to make as sweat for our studies. If by this small 'punishing' act of SRC, they assure that a bright star is not completely lost, then why complain?

OK, even if you forget about your country(which would be a very mean thing to do), think of your own future. You are here,spending your time and money, to get the label of an 'engineer'. As a professional, it is of utmost importance that you excel in your field. If you score too low, than obviously you are a goner in your field. If by 'punishing' you, SRC saves you from making such a big blunder, then why crib about it?
I think everyone must sit down and reflect, ask yourself -"What am I here for?". "What is best for my future?". The answer is more than clear my friend, and I don't think these questions can be termed as immaterial.
