So I dont use social media much, earlier I used reddit only when I wanted to ask something, and mostly for BITS sub but during summer break I developed a peculiar habit of random scrolling various subreddits for no reason, askxyz, xyz exam subreddits that I'd never even give, politics n so on & even read various comments to the point and end up wasting hours, even wore some comments are so weird that it becomes overwhelming , and I still keep reading under the pretext that it isnt bad to know people's opinions.

Anyone who faced similar stuff ? I find this highly different than reels addiction

After my 2nd year, my cg is barely 7 , I'm a dualite with one of the core branches , so I thought of fin minor but for 5-1 PS cg upto only 4-1 is taken, so I'd have next 3 sems to increase my cg, but would it be right to pursue fin with this cg ??

Ideally 8 cg would possible by 4-1 end , but I'd have to score 9.3+ each sem which isnt easy (B4)

So given my situation, is it advisable to pursue fin ?

I saw various posts on how fin minor is way more competitive now & it made me question my decision for doing Fin

I am not in a B school but in a good engineering college & here some good firms come for product management roles , so I wanted to know how do MBA people prepare for those roles? Ig prep would kinda similar or even simpler for engineering peeps Like what to do apart from reading handbooks & basic fundmentals & case comps ?

Also any good cerfications courses & do they really give edge in resume , students of my college all do the nextLeap one ? Also does having no credible PORs on resume, how much damage it would cost

Being in a core branch ,I was wondering if GATE can be treated as last resort in worst case scenario i.e in case i go unplaced, its not new that % placed in core branches isnt remarkable so..

I would be starting my 3rd year so wont start the prep but was just deciding upon the things i must focus on for the time being & possible backup options.

Ive heard many say preparing for GATE after Bits is a downgrade but ig still better than being unplaced & with nothing in hands, so is it worth considering an option ? And which one's better, PSU in my branch's sector or try for Mtech in AI/Cs branches via GATE?

My branch is manu & many PSUs that allow mech might not allow manu

Same as title, wifi blocks torrents & similar links, downloading webseries etc on data isnt really feasible

After going through Placements & PS sheets & talking to seniors, I realized on campus placament in IT for core branches [mech,chemical,civil,manu] are almost 0. So seniors who are in core but prepared for IT or alumnis who were in core but were placed in IT sector could give some insights on how to do the same as of current times ?as due to market off campus is just bloodbath, i even saw cf expert with good projects not even getting shortlisted in off campus placements.

My 2nd year is over now, & I havent prepared much yet, just did 100-120 dsa ques leetcode & stuff, given current market & its subsequent effect on off campus, I am confused whether i should go further into it or jjust drop this path for placements, I feel it'd vain of grinding dsa,system design etc when there's so much uncertainty and u might even not get shortlisted.

The Pieds startup(s) PS-1 stations that have their office within the campus itself [RKIC, Pilani] do they have easier workload, flexible hours or a busy schedule, anyone who got any of those in last years, any insights ?

My hairs became rough,frizzy & damaged ever since I came here,weren't that way before

Did anyone else face any similar issue, I feel hardness of water here might be one of the reasons

Can some please tell on how the recruitment process works for those roles/companies ? On what parameters do they judge ?

Basically the few consulting & similar domains roles that are there in SI

Same as the tile, also what all other things remain open , as in eateries , cnot, gym g ground etc ?
