DIRECT y2 in Mech engg

Okay, I was working part time and I told someone who have went thru Mech engg his currently a year 4 student we don’t really see each other due to different department and lunch timings.

One thing which strikes me when he said too me but he asked me whether I’m from poly or JC? I told him I’m from poly, he said, death. Good luck to you.

Why everybody saying direct y2 in Mech engg is super tough for poly students 🙁.
