is it even worth studying for GATE anymore?
saw a post of a guy having 740-ish score in EWS category and not getting any IITs even after round 9
saw another post of a guy having 680-ish score in SC category and getting offers from iitd and iitb cs
not gonna sugarcoat it but many of us preparing for gate are average people, willing to get into top colleges on the basis of hardwork, dedication and consistency applied in a proper direction. many of them fall along the way while some make it to the last and go blank in the exam hall. still time is being wasted of lakhs of students preparing for GATE and having dreams of getting into IITs
but looking at this current scenario of the education system, what the fuck is going on? people dedicating a whole year or two aren't even getting colleges that they hoped for. not even talking only about the caste based system here, but a lot of other factors included. people are settling into something that they never expected even after giving years of hardwork to it. is it all there is?
yeah you can upskill and get better at your work and field but the feeling and still remains the same that they couldn't get into what they hoped and dreamt for. people will still get the advantage of IIT tag even if you're more smarter than them.
sorry for the rant but is it even worth appearing for gate looking at the current condition of students and the education system? what do y'all think?
