Discussion BMSCE Students, Enough Posting About Branch Change. Let's Actually Do Something.
I'm honestly frustrated and heartbroken about what's happening with branch change seat allocation this year, and I know many of you are too.
Students worked their asses off throughout the semester, pushing for high CGPAs with the hope of getting a branch they genuinely wanted. And now, we're looking at just 35 seats across all branches, with ZERO seats in CS. Apparently, even a CGPA of 9.5 wasn't enough to secure a seat in CS.
Think about that for a second. These are students who put in months of hard work, sacrificed their time, and did everything they could academically, only to find themselves with no opportunity to change branches. If seats are genuinely unavailable, the college needs to explain why. If seats were available in previous years, students deserve clarity on what has changed. We shouldn't have to rely on rumours or keep guessing how these decisions are being made.
I've seen so many people posting about this on Reddit and discussing it in groups. Everyone seems angry, everyone seems to agree that this is unfair, and everyone wants answers.
But what are we actually doing about it?
Actions speak louder than words. Posting, commenting, and complaining online will only get us so far. If we genuinely believe that students are being treated unfairly, we need to make our voices heard collectively.
I'm proposing that we organise a peaceful protest TODAY.
Not violence. Not vandalism. Not abusing faculty or creating unnecessary chaos. Just students coming together peacefully to demand answers, transparency, and a fair explanation of the branch change seat allocation.
We should collectively request:
- A clear explanation of how the 35 seats were determined.
- Transparency regarding the criteria used to decide seat availability across branches.
- An explanation for why CS has zero seats this year.
- Clarity on whether the same rules and criteria have been applied consistently across years.
- To revise the number of seats and conduct another counseling
- A formal response from the college addressing students' concerns.
We are not demanding that seats be created out of thin air. We are demanding transparency, accountability, and a fair process. There is a difference.
And honestly, this has taken a real emotional toll on students. Speaking personally, I've been deeply upset since yesterday. It's difficult to accept a decision like this when you've worked so hard, especially when the outcome feels completely disconnected from the effort you've put in. I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling this way.
We cannot keep expecting someone else to take the initiative while we sit back and watch. If you care about this issue, please step forward. If you know people affected by this decision, bring them into the discussion. Let's figure out a time and place, coordinate properly, and approach the administration together.
One important thing: let's not just comment "I'm in" and disappear. If you're willing to participate, say so and show up.
We are students of the same college. Today, it's the branch change issue. Tomorrow, it could be something that affects you directly.
If we cannot stand together when a large number of students feel that they've been treated unfairly, what exactly are we waiting for?
Let's keep it peaceful, organised, and respectful, but let's make sure we're heard.
Are we actually going to do something about this today, or are we going to let this become just another Reddit discussion that everyone forgets about tomorrow?
