Dr. P. Rajeswari

ABSTRACT

Chetan Bhagat is an Indian novelist, columnist and speaker. Bhagat is the writer of five best selling novels, Five point someone, The 3 Mistakes of My life, One Night @ the call center, 2 States and What Young India Wants. Chetan Bhagat’s Five Point Someone is one of the highest selling novels published in India and lingered on the best seller list since its release in 2004. The novel begins in a unique way where the author takes the liberty of sharing his opinion that the book is not a guide on how to get into IIT but it cite examples of how screwed up our college years can get if we don’t think straight..  The paper attempts to throw some light on the aspects of post modernist thought process where the engineering youth tries to stand against the conventional system of imparting technical education and traditional way of evaluating the cognitive abilities of a student on the basis of CGPA.

Key words: Post modernist thought, engineering youth, conventional system, cognitive abilities and CGPA.
