Hello everyone.
I am a std of BE electronic engineering. Now a sophomore, I had a bad
result in the freshman year. An overall result of 64.6 percent and
failure condoned in two subjects namely basic electrical engineering
and chemistry.
I am very much depressed. I can score better and increase my
percentage in the coming years because first year is only count 10
percent in the final marks for obtaining a degree. What i am concerned
about is the 'failure condoned'. Does this have a bad effect on my
academic career. Is appearing in supplementry exams (it will be count
two attempts) better than 'failure condoned'. Is there anyone who has
this tag attached with him. Plz help me, i am very tense and cannot
concentrate on my studies due to these issues.
Thanks in advance.

It sounds a little to me like an attempted solution to tests. Tests
often test what you happen to remember that day, not what you've
learned in the class. (Don't say final exam, they've got the same
problem.)

In technical degrees, something won't "click" with a student until one
day he's maybe driving down the road and suddenly makes the connection
between two theories, or how something works. Perhaps the "failure
condoned" idea is to combat this, also.

If you're worried about your academic career, find someone who knows
about this and go and talk to them. If you can't, you're at the wrong
school.
