Hi....i recently graduated from IIT Madras....in Swiggy apps it's showing LTF credit card ( Swiggy orange)...but I am unemployed right now so any trick to get this card ?

​

I am a B.Tech Aerospace Engineering graduate from IIT and want to pursue M.Tech/MS in CSE, AI/ML or related CS fields from a good institute.

Profile:

B.Tech: IIT , Aerospace Engineering

CGPA: 5.8/10

Category: ST

Fresher

No work experience

I want to know all the realistic routes available to me:

GATE CS vs GATE DA — which should I give?

Which IITs/IISc/IIITs/top institutes accept non-CS B.Tech students for M.Tech CSE/AI?

Which institutes allow ST candidates with ~5.8 CGPA?

What GATE score/rank should I target?

Are there any institute-specific exams/tests/interviews apart from GATE?

Are M.Tech/MS by Research programs more flexible for a non-CS background?

Are there any other realistic routes to get into a good CS program without doing another bachelor's degree?

If anyone has gone from Aerospace/Mechanical/Civil → M.Tech CSE/AI, please share your experience.

I am mainly looking for IITs/IISc/IIITs and other top institutes in India.

Please share institute + eligibility + exam + approximate GATE score/rank + admission process if you know.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm about to join my first full-time job and I'm trying to build a simple but effective credit card setup from the beginning instead of collecting too many cards.

My current plan is:

ICICI Sapphiro LTF (free for me)

SBI Cashback Credit Card

Kiwi RuPay LTF

The idea is:

- ICICI Sapphiro LTF for lounge access, ICICI offers, and premium benefits.

- SBI Cashback for online shopping.

- Kiwi RuPay LTF for UPI payments.

Do you think this is a solid long-term 3-card setup for someone starting their career? Am I missing any major category (utilities, dining, travel, etc.), or is there a better combination without adding too many cards?

I'd love to hear from people who have actually used these cards. What are the pros, cons, or any regrets before I apply?

Thanks!
