specifications : i5-13420H,16gb ram,1tb storage,rtx 4050

I am looking for products to help maintain the laptop as the fans get filled with dust and the last time i opened it, i might have broken 2-3 of the clips (those press to lock with a click sound things at the back) due to improper tools
I've also noticed the temps staying a bit high so i believe i need to get the cpu and gpu repasted too as i got the laptop serviced (cleaning+repasting) last year in may-june and i cleaned it again in december (just the fans and the vents)

Would really appreciate if someone could suggest products to easily open and clean the fans and vents in while and also if someone could suggest which thermal paste to use to repaste the cpu and gpu

Its going to be my first time repasting the CPU and GPU on my own so im pretty nervous of not messing it, I would have gotten it repasted from a local shop but they insist on keeping the laptop for a day(the acer official repair person took hardly 30 mins to repaste and clean at home) and i don't really trust them as they might swap my ssd or ram (happens quite often)

Thank You!

I actually own a thin and light gaming laptop and in terms of performance it doesn't let me down,the problem is the battery on lowest possible settings lasts from 1-1.5 hours, from what I found out laptops are required in labs and I believe there would be sockets around to charge it but if laptops are required in classrooms,I would have to rely on low performance (unless I get a socket)

I actually have a younger sibling who would need a laptop if I bring my laptop with me so should I give him the kiit laptop and bring my laptop with me (its has everything installed and configured as per my needs,my brother just games on it sometimes and uses it for watching lectures when I don't) or should I give him my laptop and keep the KIIT laptop with me

i know the kiit laptop has free repairs on campus and it would also have some apps which I need to use for college is there any way I could transfer those apps on my laptop and hand him the KIIT laptop, I don't want to leave my laptop unsupervised with him unless I really need to because he would play games on it without my supervision

Could any 3rd-4th year senior please share the placement stats for cs/cs related branches

I'm considering iem/uem as an option but I couldn't find proper numbers online

im thinking of joining the college this year but i still want to give jee and a few other exams again next year
I'll get to know whether to continue or leave the college by april or may of next year so till which semester do i have to pay the fees for
also whats the procedure for leaving the college if i do decide to leave,
are there any charges for leaving the college after studying for 8-9 months?
are we even allowed to leave?

SRM ktr cse+specialization vs KIIT cse vs SRM ap cse core/specialization vs MUJ vs MIT blr (low chances) vs Private colleges of West Bengal (IEM,UEM,Techno main salt lake)

Looking for better ROI , willing to work hard and upskilling in college so in which college would it be easier to compete and reach to the top 5-10% for better on campus placement opportunities

If you're giving a review ,please mention what year you're in too (as many people just comment "don't join the college" with no extra explanation)

Im thinking of joining CSE core this year so it would help if the people got a review from people already studying there

academics: quality of professors and strictness (in general,i know it varies from person to person) etc

academic facilities: libraries, study material and clubs etc

campus facilities : places to spend time,quality of gyms,fests,crowded/non crowded,basically the overall gist (i know the campus is quite big)

hostels: general quality of rooms,common bathrooms/washrooms,managment and mess (veg/non veg)

placements: opportunities for people maintaining a good cgpa, rough idea of number mass hiring companies and good paying companies (8-9+ lpa)

You can also add points about things you like about this college and also what you don't like about it

Also if you don't want to add a detailed review on all the topics you could just give a review on the topic you feel comfortable about (not all even 1 or 2 works fine)

Thank You!

PS: I've talked to some seniors in dms and they've given good reviews but i also want to know about what the people in general think about this college

Read this if you want to know my experience or just skip to the "MAIN" paragraph

I was a pcm+cs+english student and i was in the same situations as you last year,very tensed before the results
I remember i was very scared before giving the physics paper because i hadn't prepared well (even at boards level) and was thinking i would fail. I gave the exam and it was very tough as i didn't prepare before i didn't know it was really very tough,and i knew i was going to fail with what i wrote in that answersheet. I got out of my center and was waiting for my dad when a random uncle asked me
uncle:"aaj exam tha?"
me:"haan uncle cbse ka exam tha"
uncle:"which exam aur kaunse class me ho?"
me:"mai 12th me hu aur physics ka exam tha aaj uncle"
he then asked me how the paper went i froze and said "acha gaya uncle"
then asked me "kitne marks expect kar rhe ho"
i just said "50-55/70"
then he said "ache number hai very good beta" and this made me realise that i couldn't even tell a stranger how the paper went how will i confront my dad?
when my father arrived i just said "theek gaya utna acha nahi" and went home
after I came home i was really depressed and all i was talking to a friend and i said i feel really ashamed of failing in boards and all. I went to take a shower then and when i came out he sent me a video saying the paper was tough (some youtube physics teacher very popular, don't remember his name well) and i was a bit less stressed considering they'll do lenient checking

Fast forward to result day, i was awake all night due to tension that i forgot to wake up on time.I got a call from my school friend and i knew the results are out without even picking his call.Pretty nervous,i entered the digilocker thing and it was right in front of me.I mistakenly totalled the theory marks on 100 and calculated the percentage and was very sad,then i saw physics was 34/100 and i thought i failed,then i realised its 34/70 and 30/30 in practical (dumb mistake) and i was relieved.

"MAIN"

I got the copies to check and increase my marks (i missed the BITSAT criteria) and saw that the copy checker person (may god bless him/her) had given me marks generously,half correct questions 3/4 marks of total,diagram on a 4 mark question? 1.5 marks and the person really did everything to pass me.The total was 31/70 and the marks uploaded were 34/70

I don't really know about the whole OSM checking but if the copy checker has the power they'll try to pass you even if you've written something or the other and not left the answersheet blank.

Don't stress over the results its not the end of the world,if you do score low you have improvement exams to cover it up. Don't feel bad if you didn't reach a certain percentage which you were thinking to get,if you missed the cutoff by a few marks (3-4 marks) try applying for rechecking after going through your copies.

To the people who are currently studying in KIIT (cse/cse+specialization)

what do you think I should prefer\

SRM ktr cse (have to give phase 2) or KIIT cse core (already secured in counselling)

From what I found srm is 2-4 lakhs expensive than kiit (tuition+hostel) and online the median package seems pretty close to each other

bhai jee nahi nikla but i didn't stop studying or giving my best after i realised i f*cked up badly
backup exams bhi nahi nikali they didn't go good at all abhi comedk a rha hai aur mera preparation bohot bekaar hai i don't know what to do anymore
i have 1 backup college kiit cse but online utne ache reviews nahi a rhe
i just can't think of anything other than dying broo, i failed another time even after a year,no excuses nothing i just didn't study when i had the time aur ab padhne ke liye time nahi bachta exams nikal rhi hai aur koi exam achi nahi ja rhi syllabus khatam nahi ho rha revision nahi ho rha kuch nahi ho rha mujhse
I promised parents ki iit/nit nahi hua toh private ka acha college nikal lunga par bits ka criteria clear nahi hua aur baaki exams kharab gayi bohot
im getting su*c*dal thoughts every day parr kuch na kuch bacha leta hai,some small burst of hope or something good that happened par i don't like living like this acha hi nahi lag rha

I logged into an alternate discord account which i use a lot
after checking up on my messages i logged out and when i logged out i got a notification that my passkey was deleted (from google password manager) i didn't make 2 passkeys and didn't add an auth considering it was an alt account which didn't really need that much security as i use the account on different devices from time to time
I tried logging in again to see if i was banned (which triggered the passkey deletion) but it took my email and password and prompted me to use a passkey to log in but the passkey is deleted
is there any way to recover the account?

this is the text it shows when i checked in google password manager

i gave kiit phase 1 and got a good percentile
i applied for counselling and got cse core (first choice)
the problem is they are asking to pay 75k by 11th may
im still waiting for results of other exams to determine which college to take admission in
if i skip the fee payment will my seat be transferred OR my percentile will be transferred to phase 2 counselling (im not sure if my percentile would fetch me cse core in phase 2)

like if i got cse core right now and i don't pay the fees will the cse core seat get transferred to phase 2 where i can pay the fee and confirm the seat or will my percentile be transferred over to phase 2 where they'll again go through the process of giving me seat from my preference list?

also from the 75k,10k is non refundable right? only 65k gets refunded. Is there any way to get the whole 75k refunded (any date before which i apply for a refund and get full refund)

i took a drop for jee and couldn't clear it this year too (didn't clear cutoff and really bad rank)

I have two options:

1. Join a tier 2/3 private college outside my state (most probably going to end up with tier 3 outside my state) fees: 20-32 lakhs, including hostel
2. Join a cheaper t3/t4 college in my state and save money for mtech/mba (prepare for gate or cat during college) fees:6-16 lakhs

I really want to pursue cs as i have an interest in that branch.

My main question is,if i go with option 2,what are the chances that i tank gate/cat and end up just graduating from a bad college with no job opportunities (as i know gate/cat aren't easy to crack aswell),im also going to try to upskill myself in the time being but i won't get a lot of time considering i need to prepare for gate too (im not really sure how tough it is but im not a great student)

If i go with option 1
i don't really have good college options and whatever options i have are expensive

options: KIIT, MUJ (max to max manipal banglore in second attempt), srm ktr/ap (low chances) , vit ap/bhopal (not sure,max to max vit chennai(but higher category))
also i still have a few exams left (wbjee and comedk)
as you can see the options i do have aren't really great considering they're expensive (hostel+tuition fees) and there aren't great reviews about them online too

Thank you for reading this!

i don't really want to focus on college life or peer group

I want to ask about placements,I know on campus placements wouldn't be the best but if someone puts in more effort in developing skills while maintaining academics which college promotes this/support this more

What about the college tag while applying off campus (I'm not sure if college name matters in off campus or not)

srm ktr/ap is a bit on the expensive side compared to kiit I believe (not really sure about it)

also IF they're both very similar then which college offers more exposure (takes part in events,has a good coding culture etc)

I don't really care about peer group or college life

i just want to know about placement opportunities or median placements of them

I know the placements on campus wouldn't really be great but I still want to know that if one works on their skills,which college would provide a better outcome at the end (on campus) and which college has a better reputation when applying off campus (I'm not sure if college reputation matters in off campus)
