Our Director Dr N Ravichandran is renown for being strict disciplinarian. Our seniors had already apprised us about peril. But nothing could have disposed us for the Qt class on 20th December. We did not knew that Director would take our class. Hence many of us were unprepared with the case. He started by first apprehending a guy on the first bench reading the pre read material. After flaming that person he threw 10 people out of the class for not having come with the case material. He then started questioning a girl on the facts of the case.
