Seniors, how chill is it there?

I'm thinking of taking cse ai ml. I wonder how chill it is there. How do the fours years of this particular course go? Do we have free time? How often are holidays? Apart from sem exams, are there any quizzes that play any important role. What else decides the cgpa here? How is the faculty there for cse ai ml? How are the internships? Can we land them through hackathons?

Seniors, Urgent help please 🙏

How do scholarships work. Like, i originally got 40% scholarship in GAT exam conducted on May 1st. after attending interview i got 75%. My waitlist no in 120-130 range. I had other unis as option but many of them have deadlines fast approaching and my family have to arrange tuition fee within that time. I was planning on joining gitam if i got scholarship but the number seems so high. What to do, please help. Can i potentially get scholarship, My course is cse ai ml.

Seniors, i need urgent help

So, I got 33XX rank and I participated in choice filling. 26th was the last date so I opened the portal again to check. I explored a bit and then selected btech in ai (I previously submitted cse ai ml) I don't remember clicking submit for btech in ai as I feel asleep (please don't hate on me) I've been anxious since I opened the portal again today few hours back but it's not showing what preference I made. I'm scared. I still feel like I didn't submit btech in al but I still feel terrible. What can i do to confirm? Plz help me 😭🙏I'm losing my mind

Seniors, query about hackathons etc..

I'm thinking of joining srm ap (paying full fees 😭 is it worth education loan, gng 🥀), what's the scene for hackathons, are people here genuinely interested in contests? Can i hope to look for a team? if possible, what is the situation for internship here. Is placement here centralized with ktr campus?

Seniors, query about contests.

I'm thinking of joining gitam. Despite all those negative reviews 🙏😭. My friend already has a sister studying there and she said that the hackathons conducted often clash with exams and that her sister has to give priority to the exams as she's a scholarship student (so am i). Is this true? Cause I'm really interested in hackathons.

Am I cooked? 🥀

Gave mock today, 20 mins. I was literally trying to read the question which is to the extreme left of the monitor but I got the 'look into the screen' warnings in these little red boxes every minute. More than like 30 times, i'd say. I was so fcking annoyed.

I got one big single warning of 'phone detected'. I genuinely don't know what to do

Do the warnings impact our rank? What should I do to avoid these warnings in the main exam?

SRM AP or KLU? 😶

I couldn't get any iit or nit, screwed my eamcet big time. At, srmjeee is my last option. But I see only negative reviews of it, especially regarding placements. KLU on the other hand seemed to have decent placements. I wanna know if KLU is better, if yes, which one should I choose, vijayawada, aziz nagar or bachupally. Please help. 🥲

Dreams shattered. 😣

Trigger warning: it's depressing and a very-very long read. I don't want people who are happy with their results to read this. Nor is this for newbies who just started iit prep. Sincerely, I do not want to spoil your mood.

Just a rant. I can't contain it anymore. I'm been crying for whole day and I really hope this dulls the ache inside

I was never the A+ typical nerd from my childhood. Always got B's. But when i once got an A Grade in like my 4th grade, my parents were so happy. Since then, I started to get better grades just to see them smile more. They were never toxic about it. They loved me when I scored less too. But I gradually started focusing more on studies ever since then. My dad gets transferred a lot, so I always had to bid goodbye to my friends that I finally managed to make over a span of 2-3 years. Somewhere along the way, I stopped getting big on friendships and started to completely focus on studies. I mean, friendships seemed temporary with the amount of times my dad gets transferred.

So I really focused on studying and living in my own world. I was constantly among top 5 and sometimes top 3 in my class. Not that much of a brag but I at least had some idea about what to do. My parents decided to let me and my mom stay in the city for my education away from my dad's workplace. I scored 97.8 in 10th board. But that didn't get me to top 5 in my school. Back then, that seemed way too devastating. I scored 90 marks in hindi, a subject in which I seldom top. I started my jee prep in a very depressed state. I missed the cbse 10th class re-evaluation date. I was gloomy about it. A non-A1 mark on my certificate forever due to hindi was unforgivable. I knew it was not my mother tongue but i was not that bad. I used to really top sometimes. I joined Fiitjee and I'm pretty sure you guys know what happened to it last year. My parents had no idea that it was crumbling when I got in.

Anyways, I started to crawl out of my depression and focus on prep and by that, I mean day-dreaming about a future where I see myself in iit campus. I was like any other typical student. Not backing down from "IIT Bombay CSE 🤓" but the amount of sheer diffliculty of jee was already starting to get to me. We had tests every Monday. Jee mains and advanced pattern alternatively. The results posted in whatsapp groups always made me anxious and heartbroken. Always stuck at the same marks, same rank and sometimes even lower but never better. I really tried to study at the beginning. I'd open a book, try to solve, struggle for ten minutes before giving up and searching the backside for answers.

At some point, the monotone routine really broke me down. At least I could have some fun and binge watch marvel movies during my school days. But one of the gravest mistakes I've ever done was to think to not waste a second on these 'distractions' from the goal of iit. Humans at some point tend to exhaust themselves and need sweet and familiar stuff to lift their spirits up. That's something I refused to believe months ago

By the end of class 11th, the top cream of the faculty was leaving. My parents were not really so rich as to switch me to another college. But we're not EWS either. I got in this on scholarship. Nor would any other coaching centre would accept me as i was back then. I was mediocre in my jee prep compared to that of my 10th grade. After 11th boards, fiitjee was never the same. Almost all the top faculty was gone. And after few months, we ended up getting some study-hour substitute to teach us organic chemistry, which in my opinion, the most important there is in chemistry.

I decided to stay home and do my own prep foolishly. And for some reason, I told my parents not to buy me any online coaching. There were many Playlists available in YouTube like sakshi vora and Alakh Pandey old lectures and I thought those were enough 🤡

That is, after reading many comments from people who said they got 99.xx percentile from watching these videos.

As time started to slip by, I switched to manzil to cover up faster. Of course I did't finish entire syllabus. That's how I went and attempted my first jee session. I already knew that I was screwed but I really wanted to just somehow qualify and prepare for adv already. Since I am a girl, I will have gotten top 10 iits cse if I just focused more due to girl reservation. To be honest, i always almost score better in jee adv pattern exam the jee mains pattern. Speed was not my strength which jee mains demands, But logic and conceptual depth suprprisingly happens to be my strength, which is how some of jee adv is. My strong subjects were maths and physics. I don't know why but chemistry is just so annoying sometimes that i might just hold a grudge at thos point. I revised what i know and forced myself to enter the exam hall. But everything fell apart when my period decided to show up a week early. I would personally take this opportunity to thank my uterus for putting me through ungodly cramps on the exam day. I thought It was fine. I'd cover it up in second attempt perhaps. I was at least hoping for clearing cutoff. Which I did not.

People say that April is a second chance. But I absolutely had no time to study with boards coming up. Nevetheless, I still tried hard. But the result? Percentile this time was slightly lesser than last one. I did not cut through. Yet again.

My parents this time lost all hope on nits and iits. They made me study for eapcet (I belong to telangana). We really hadn't thought of many exams as apparently one of the youtubers my mom listens to said that if a student study well, less entrance exams would be lesser pain in the ahh. So much hope and yet no hope at all. I really didn't want to study for these tier 67 colleges at all after being infatuated with iit. And hence, that screwed me up when I underperformed and got undesirable rank.

My bits did not go good either. I couldn't score above 200 in either of attempts. VIT results were random and unfavorable. UGEE wasn't cleared due to REAP. Now my only option is SRM. Which apparently is worse than the aforementioned tier 67 colleges. I really want to take a drop but my parents believe that I'd just waste it and embarrass my family even more. In their eyes, the hardworking topper daughter died. And honestly, that's true. JEE did fck me up.

I've been having suicidal thoughts for a week. But i managed to snap out of it at least a little by now. I have no idea what to do other than pray to God that may everything turn out to be in me favor at least from now.

It's fine if no one reads this maha-bharat-long rant. It did make me feel better now. No wonder why people share everything on reddit. I really did need to make more friends after all.

For the first time in forever I'm unable to visualize my future anymore. No day-dreams of iit campus, or nit, iiit, vit, bits or tier 67 colleges. But for now, at least I understood something. To always be four years ahead mentally rather than waking up in the middle of jee prep mumbling about "iit bombay CSE 🤓". And to always never have too much hopium.

A mere coveted institution is not worth taking your life for. The so called iit bombay doesn't even rank in top 100 across the world the last time i checked. But if it still hurts all the same. Just rant it out in here like me. It works wonders. 🥲

Apparently there was a 100×100 scholarship for top 100 girl students. Does it still stand for 26-27 batch? I don't see it in the scholarship webpage. can anyone confirm? if it is there, what marks should I get to achieve this scholarship and what requirements should be met, like family income and cgpa 🥺

Bhai, this year's ugee cracked all of us 🥀 I already had a headache on top of my period cause I couldn't sleep properly, stress bro. I tried my best, gave 20 or 21 questions in supr and 28 in reap. I'm not expecting 100 accuracy. Already saw too many reddit posts discussing answers that I did not choose in the exam 😭 maybe 3-4 went wrong, Idk if they're of supr or reap. Can I clear cutoff given that it was tough this year.

u/Plenty-Maximum-5000 — 2 months ago

Reap was definitely on the tough side, bhai. Cutoff should decrease. Last year had a few linguistic questions which were easy as fck and some other doable questions and yet cutoff was just 68. I don't understand why people say cutoff will increase this year despite it being the toughest till now. Cutoff will drop, but I need to know how much. I hope it drop to 50s, main baas 28 qs attempt kiya. Not sure how accurate. To the people who attempted more than 30+ and 40+, how many marks do you actually think you would score? Were you 100% accurate 🥲
