Excerpts from the Course Viva:
Teacher: What is virtual height?
Rohit: Virtual height with regards to what?
Teacher: Virtual height of an antenna.
Rohit: Virtual height of an antenna with regards to what?
Teacher: !!!! Ok, what’s internet?
Rohit: Internet is ….errr....a vast array of….errr
Teacher: What topology does it use?
Rohit: Topology with regards to what?
Teacher: !@#$%@$%#
Teacher: Who discovered electron? (Answer is J.J. Thomson)
Shinu: Ja….err….Ja....mmm….Jackson!
Teacher: Jacksonaa? Aare, Michael Jacksonaa?
Einstein goes to the viva in his usual smelly clothes, messy hair and a wildly unshaven look.
Teacher: First tell me what’s bothering you.
Einstein strikes a chord in teachers emotions, says stuff like he’s a lone ranger and has got no friends (must’ve referred to girlfriends); teacher becomes sentimental and finishes his viva soon. The next day, a horde of messy, smelly, unshaven guys (including yours truly) appears before a perplexed teacher, but, counter-intuitively, gets extra tough viva questions. Sigh!
Excerpt from Microwave Lab Viva:
Botsu made the day for Microwave lab viva. To the uninitiated, Botsu did his schooling till 10th grade in Botswana, a country in the southern part of Africa.
Teacher: Give me an application of microwave.
Botsu: Raider!
Teacher: Raider? Athenthuva?
Bostu: Teacher, Raider. R-A-D-A-R.
Teacher: Oh! Radar. Iyaal ividengum ulla aalalle?
Botsu: Alla, njaan Africa ninnu vannatha.
Teacher: !!! Thaanentha enne kaliyaakkukayaano, njaan thanikku mottayittu tharum lab inu.
Botsu: Ayyo teacher, satyamaayittum njaan Africa aane!!
P.S. Actually, a lot of stuff happened during the viva, but due to the successive plethora of exams, I don’t remember much of ‘em.
P.P.S. Botsu was almost correct in his pronunciation. It’s actually pronounced “reydahr” which we mallus tend to mispronounce as “radahr”. My bad, but we did have a very good laugh at Botsu’s expense.

Hehehe...concentrating on exams would have been tough with such viva voce happening on the sidelines.
@karthik: Hehe, :)
@anand: :)
@silverine: You should see the guy in person to believe why the teacher asked him so.
@hari: *head hits the ceiling* Ouch! Thanks man.
@cain: :)
@philip: You bet, I was listening to the conversation for like 20 mins. What I jotted down is just a fraction of what happened. Microwave lab was the most hilarious one in the entire 4 years of engg.
