[clickbait title]
Lots of prospective students are DMing us IEM students for placements, I made a video on it u can see here. Im not promoting any yt channel just see that video instead of spamming dms pls.
If you want the source, it is the IDEA Newsletter Jan-Feb 2026 edition posted on linkedin by associate dean of placements Ramaa A.
Are those IBM certificate-internships really worth anything in the grand scheme of things? Is it really worth it to do a coe internship when I can get the opportunity to rebuild a small business with my product development?
Which one weighs more?
Asking for a friend btw.
There was this boy called John Doe who joined RVCE and he was asked to choose kannada course. Kannada is a mandatory course with two choices of course. One is balake and one is samskrutika kannada. Balake is for ppl who didn't have kannada in 10th standard syllabus. Samskrutika is meant for ppl who had 10th standard kannada as a subject. It will show in ur 10th std grade card as a subject.
Balake is basic kannada like how konichiwa and arigato are taught as basic japanese. The course is very easy. Samskrutika is advanced kannada with actual chapters n poems to memorize and it is exactly like how one would learn a language in school (question answers, grammar based questions like opposites and complex words).
Mr. Doe here had kannada in his 10th standard. He should've taken samskrutika kannada. But the way of choosing kannada is based on a Google form asking u to choose which kannada ur supposed to take. This was sent at start of semester. He had to manually submit a Google form saying that he is falling under sanskrutika or balake category. This fellow was not paying attention and *mistakenly* entered as balake. He got balake allotted to him and he attended classes of balake kannada and all, gave exams of balake, etc. and finally got a score of 10 (O - Outstanding grade) in balake kannada that semester. He *unintentionally* cheesed the system. He got balake which is wayyy easier than samskrutika. ;)
Also, when Doe had first joined the college, they had to report in person after receiving allotment letter from his counseling portal. He visited college and was asked to fill entrance form. Int agt for, in place of parents email id he gave his own alternate email id thinking it wasn't important. But in contact number he gave correct one.
This mistake came to affect him later. When his first internal exams got over, a scorecard was sent to his parent's email id. The report card of 1st internal is sent to all the respective student and their parent email ids. Doe here, got his report card which includes his failing grades and low attendance of 40% on his own mail and alternate mail id. Because of this, John became decentralised from his parents and they didn't get to know about him bunking classes and low attendance. John *unintentionally* made it so that parents don't know how bad attendance John has. John has decentralised himself from his parents. He now still has to justify his absences to his profs. What he did was go to a local clinic and get fake medical certificate that directly compensated all attendance till he got minimum attendance required to pass. He paid 500 to doctor (who wasn't even MBBS) and gave the certificate to his profs and said he was sick from these days to these days. He has now cheated his parents and profs. Let us see how he cheats in exams.
He was instructed in math class that he is allowed to bring a printout of math handbook to internal exams. This handbook pdf was sent to students by the teacher at start of semester and students expected to print it out and bring to internal exams. The course study material/textbook with solved examples are also sent as pdf of each chapter. What John did was, edited the pdf of math handbook, added a couple pages which contained the theory content from course material. These pages has all the explanation about the questions. John then printed this new pdf out and didn't study for math exam. John, in exam hall while writing math exam, referred to this modified manual and learnt on the spot how to solve some questions and aced the exams each time. The invigilator was innocent, since students writing maths are allowed the handbook booklet and refer to it time to time while writing the exam. The booklets aren't checked before entering exam hall.
Also, for certain courses namely English and Constitution and Kannada, the exams are MCQ based and held in computer labs on online portals in browsers. What John did was, not study for the exam and attempted exam by changing a window, opening chatgpt or gemini and copy pasted the questions from online portal to AI and got the answers. He then proceeded to aced these exams too.
In the first semester, all the courses had their quizzes held in online app on the respective phones of the students! John easily used his AI assistant on his phone and aced those as well. John has now cheated in exams too.
This is very bad
Don't be John.
Be like me, who took samskrutika kannada and got a B+. Who got his fielding set when he got a call from his parents abt low attendance in some classes. Who forgot to take maths handbook to one exam, let alone make any changes.
But still satisfied that I didn't cheese the system.
Anyways, all of this changed when a girl entered his life, Ms. Jane Doe... She was from a different branch and she was the teammate of John in one of the projects. John shared his story of exploits with her. She recommended john not to do this anymore. She shared her surname with John but didn't seem to be related to him, not even distantly. John was...

Point is, aise cheating karne Kai opportunities milte hain. But pls don't go into them. What happens in the dark always come to light.
You can use these labs to make ur own simulation projects to put in your portfolio
Make use of whatever free stuff you can get as a student, make projects using simulation softwares and compile them into a portfolio, and use that to apply to internships in 4th sem break type shi +++

I've replied to a comment on another post in this subreddit, and tried my best to express the true situation here.
"why are Hackathons 24hrs long? Because the participants will be awake at night and that is when the American man is awake. We should not conform, we should demand!"
Yes 100% correct logic omg saar u r a grate saar (cheesegrater)
Sorry, if i had made mistake tried best to put right clg in right tier
edit: the colleges are not ranked internally in a specific tier
1st sem math 4 credit I got only a c (5.0 points) which is really bad I know, i want to increase that to an O in the fastrack. I think it will boost my 1st sem sgpa quite a bit.Im looking to increase because I want to have the flexibility of applying to some abroad unis too (Japan ge hogtini konichiwa uwu)
If any seniors could send your 3rd/4th sem timetable (preferably iem) it would be awesome.
Possible to get nsar in ESC? I am not attending electronics classes.
In first year we have small ELs for 1 credit courses, and Lab PBLs for Physics and Chemistry, and the main Interdisciplinary EL which is honestly the stressful part- by itself it isn't much, but pair it with a normal college curriculum taught alongside the whole time, the experience is nothing short of "stressful".
I was wondering,
how it will be from second year onwards (I'm in IEM) and will it be more stressful?
The SEEs and CIEs for IEM courses are going to be doable (studying only 2 days before exam) or do you need to study?
Right now we have classes from morning till evening, and I heard that 2nd year onwards we will have classes only till the afternoon?
And the interdisciplinary EL won't be there, we will have the EL groups and topics within the ME stream only?
I believe the majority of classes will now be different according to branch, and the branch faculty will only be the course instructors? Will attendance be chill in IEM?
If you could address these doubts I have, it would be awesome!
Hey, anybody going? I want to tag along in your team to see what a cybersecurity hackathon is like, please consider adding me- even though I have no recent experience in coding (I learnt html and learnt how to make games in unity using c# when I was 10, does that count??)
I will give emotional support ^w^
I don't own a vehicle but I do have a student pass. Day after tomorrow I am bringing my father's scooter to campus. Can I show the student pass in my hand and gain entry or should I actually stick it?
I really do not want to stick it since it's going to be only for one day and my dad will also not like that.
