Why is Prof. Virendra Singh like this.

He take 1 hr 30 mins to 1 hr 45 mins long class in a slot of 1 hour.

I guess he intentionally picked the evening slot and he knew it will be easy to extend the class without any objections.

We tried telling him multiple times, please finish early. So one day he came and explicitly said. I will teach 1.5 hr as course is very big, if you don't like it drop the course.

I mean man, I want to study the subject hence I have taken it but that don't give you the authority to waste my time. Courses are planned to be completed in 1 sem and it's your duty as a teacher to teach efficiently.

And I have read on many forums that he will just go very fast during end classes and overall in his class you will not learn a lot and he just keep repeating content multiple times.

Can someone please tell me how to cope with this.🥲🥲

So I got IIT Bombay. Accepted the offer, submitted the fee (Hostel and Tution).

I just wanted to know if there are other things we need to do before joining the institute. I don't wanna mess up things.

Hello everyone,

I am a college student with a monthly allowance of ₹3,000, which has always been enough for me. But last year, I wanted to buy a musical instrument worth ₹1,800. The instrument company, Kadence, offered a 'Buy Now, Pay Later' (BNPL) EMI option through SnapMint.

Being a complete beginner to finance, I chose that option. I also used my PAN card to help my younger brother buy the same instrument through SnapMint.

Later, when I checked my CIBIL score, I realized it was tanking. Even though both EMIs (mine and my brother's) were paid in full, the loans are still showing as active because SnapMint failed to inform CIBIL about the closures.

After digging deeper, I found out that they issue a No Objection Certificate (NOC), which I believe we have to use to close the loans ourselves (since these BNPL EMIs legally count as personal loans). Right now, my CIBIL score is continuing to drop because these two fully paid loans are still showing up as active.

How should I proceed with this? How do I use these NOCs to file a dispute? (I learned these terms after researching the issue online).

Please help me out.

Furthermore, I have one more question: once this is all resolved, will my credit score be restored to normal?

I got a 774 score in GATE EC and I am an OBC-NCL candidate.

I have filled the following institutes:

IISc, IIT Bombay, IIT Madras, IIT Delhi, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Ropar, and IIT BHU

for VLSI and related branches, not communication or signal processing.

I feel like I might mess up my COAP rounds because I am not sure about anything.

I think I may have to retain IIT Kharagpur till round 3, but I might not get IIT Bombay or IIT Madras until round 5, so I am unsure whether I should risk losing my safety net by rejecting IIT Kharagpur. (I will not take IIT Delhi for personal reasons.)

Also, round-wise cutoffs are not available anywhere. I know they are not released that way, but the available cutoffs are minimum ones, and I am unsure whether they correspond to round 10 or round 5.

I need some guidance.

Also, should I consider a counselling program? I do not want to mess this up. Thanks.

Hello, fellow NITians of NIT Kurukshetra. I am not from your college. I am from another NIT.

Recently, I got into a debate with a friend of mine who is not a KKR graduate (Class of 2025).

First of all, I don't know the reality of what is currently happening on your campus. However, based on what I have heard, read, and discussed with friends from your college, the perception I gathered was that the recent suicides were not caused by administrative negligence, but rather by personal reasons. (I could be completely wrong about this, and I invite you all to correct me.)

Regardless, my friend and I were discussing this. I argued that even if a single student takes such a drastic step on campus, the authorities are somewhat responsible because Indian colleges often ignore the critical issue of mental health. Furthermore, she sent me a list of the students' accepted demands regarding exam scrutiny, in-timings, and hospital facilities. I told her that if it takes the tragic death of students for a college to implement such changes, then the authorities and professors are responsible.

She defended the college, claiming that some people are now using this issue to push their own agendas. I countered that any significant change usually requires protests (not that I support violence). I believe protests are legitimate because, while someone may always try to push an agenda, if the end result is the wellbeing of students, it is ultimately a positive step.

She then argued that protests should not happen because they would damage the college's image and placement opportunities. It stung to see how selfish our youth have become, that even in the face of suicides, they prioritize the college's reputation and placements. Some time ago, my college went through a similar tragedy, and I supported the cause and stood against the authorities during the internal protests.

I told her the same, but her only remaining argument was that your professors are far more supportive than those at other colleges, that they truly care about you, and that while placements might not matter to me, they are crucial for many others. I ended the conversation there.

I understand the importance of placements, but people must realize that the world is not an ideal place. If such tragedies occur, students should protest and advocate for change before it harms the college in the long run. It is better to face a temporary dip in the college's image and protest than to let these issues go unaddressed.

So, my question to you all is:

Are your professors really as supportive as she described?

I would like to get the real picture of the issue from you all.

Thank you.
