After looking at the HSSM's being offered being offered next semester I could broadly put them into 2 categories. The eight courses being offered are evenly divided between the two categories.
1. Courses offered by the brotherhood of JV
2. The rest.
Some of the important areas where we offer no courses are
1. Economics.
2. Finance
3. Literature
4. Public Administration
5. Law
6. Sociology (There are courses offered by Anuja Madan and Romesh Singh but it's more of an exception)
7. Management
8. History
There is much more and I could go on forever .... I hope you get the picture.
Why should students be forced to study such limited offerings, in some cases taught by inexperienced, self styled "Gurus" with no objective evaluation of the course content. Is there no objection from the side of the faculty ?
If a UG student must do 20 credits from within this set of courses, we should seriously reconsider having compulsory HSSMs. I couldn't find more rubbish even if I looked in a garbage dump.

OK, this is really not a good time to piss off the "gurus".
And, DON'T reply back to this with some daring-baaj comment.
Teri body kisi kaam ki nahin. Tu aur tera guru..... dono phattu ho :P
you havent substantiated your claims that the offerings are of a low quality :P
@mythalez: For your benefit I present a story.
Random Person: Tell me what Nirvana is!
Saint : It cannot be explained. It must be experienced.
Similarly HSSMs at IIIT cannot be described. They must be experienced. You are jobless these days. Use one of these days to experience some of these divine courses.
i experienced enough of those courses over my 4 yr stay ... not including the amazing open-electives
but still, you claim, you ought to substantiate .. atleast with such quaint stories :P
@mythalez
On a more serious note : I actually made no comments on the quality of the courses (yet!). My problem is with the lack of diversity. You cannot have 4 HSSMs that are essentially a proxy for JV. It's damn unprofessional.
can you actually copy paste the list of HSSMs being offered ? .. I really want to see what is it tat you call pro-JV or proxy-JV .. i think the problem lies there
I agree. Courses on literature, economics etc. were offered till last semester. :( I'm glad I finished my credits of HSSMs till last semester!!
totally agree with you this time... i've seen the list ...
quest human society ?? vedic darshan ??
Como on, Give those poor kids chance to breath ...
self styled gurus!!! that was so awesome. I can't stop laughing. hohohohohoho........
all you seem to know is to crib crib and crib more ...
happy cribbing ...
