Bits only give one day holidays in Durga puja and Diwali? Do people go home? I'm in bits hyd and originally from jharkhand and I want to go home cuz I'm feeling a lot of homesickness and I just want to run away to my home but can't

I’m genuinely confused about how the whole formal/informal TA system is supposed to work.

If a course actually needs 12–13 TAs to manage the workload, why are only 4–5 made formal TAs while the rest are expected to work as “informal” TAs?

I understand that there may be budget or administrative constraints, but if the informal TAs are doing pretty much the same work — taking doubts, helping students, conducting sessions, grading, etc. — then what’s the difference apart from the fact that only the formal TAs get paid?

It honestly feels like the department gets the work of 12–13 people while only paying 4–5 of them. If the workload genuinely requires that many TAs, shouldn’t all of them either be formally appointed and compensated, or should the workload be reduced accordingly?

Not trying to attack anyone here. I’m just trying to understand the logic behind the system. Is this common in other departments/universities too, or is this just an excuse to get students to do TA work for free?

Please share the link if any of the seniors have link for ps2 sem2 of last year plzz

Goa Campus BTW

So my mental energy has got drained (sleep and eating have got messed up) ​due to CS placements. 5-6 OAs of mine have gone great, but haven't been picked for a single interview. I have a 9+CG, great resume with an SIP, only problem could be Avg DSA. Even after that, many OAs were pure Mcqs and those went great.

My plan was is to do 1 year of job and then masters in foreign, but still was always going to PS2. Now with my placements going bad (meaning not getting selected for interview) I am seriously considering ​trying for job through PS2.

How competitive is PS2? Can I get a good stipend (if so how much) and potentially PPO (if so how much) through pure CG+resume shortlisting?

EDIT: Looking for geniune answers of last para.

Ik I am late for this but recently I was really confused and sad that why didn’t I choose Pilani even though I was getting it but put Goa above it. I felt really homesick as pilani was way closer to my house, I am unable to resonate with ppl here and ofc those expenses over the dual fee is killing me, for this reason I was even willing to take any pvt local clg near my home even until now. But later I remembered those days when I used cry for this clg, I used to wish that one day I could say I am a student of BITS Pilani, not saying bits was my dream clg like everybody else I also dreamt of iit but ofc everyone doesn’t get it but my second dream clg was only bits. I remember when I used to score so less in mocks that when I went in to give the main exam I gave up all hopes of getting into bits but somehow I was just destined to join it. Either way I know it’ll take time for me to adjust and digest the fact that this is my final clg and I hope things turn out real good for me in the near future at Goa, ik there are pros and cons to both the campuses and maybe if I would’ve been in Pilani then maybe I would’ve be crying for things that are in Goa.
Irrespective of whichever campus I am in I’ll always be a Bitsian and student of BITS Pilani
So hello seniors and batchmates let’s achieve great things in next 4-5 yrs and hope that bits Pilani really is magic!
(Btw I took MSc in Goa over Pilani mainly due to chances of a better branch)

Please suggest which laptop (with specs plz) to buy for Electronics course. Kindly assist with requisite configuration details as well.

please share location of best pani puri, moong dal/aalo kachori and bake samosa/patties shop😋

Currently a final year student. I was selected in Amazon Summer School, as a result of which I am given an opportunity to apply for the Applied Scientist Intern role (still have to clear OA and interview). However, I believe Amazon would also come via PS2 for SDE Intern role.

My concern is if I apply for the Applied Scientist Role, I may not be eligible to sit at Amazon for my PS2 due to their 6 month cool off period. My assumption is also that it would be more realistic for me to crack Amazon via PS2 than through Summer School Mechanism.

As a consequence, I am planning on not applying via thier Summer School route. Am I making the right decision?

Can anyone help shed a bit more light onto this?

I'm a freshman and God damn this Math Probability and Statistics shit is KILLING me. Pls recommend some yt channel Or anything else PLEASE. I literally skipped this shit in jee and now its back again 😭🥀

I need help in PHY U101: Classical and Quantum waves. i joined late and they already finished 3 chapters of AP french i literally cannot understand anything at all. if someone knows some good lectures for this please tell me

Currently, I think the job market is quite down. I have a fear that despite a decent CGPA, I might not get placed. In case I don't get placed, what are the next steps I should take?
Mech student here btw and I wanna get into core.

Someone suggest me a good non gaming laptop under price of 1 lakh rupees. I don't know anything about laptop specs and processeors and configuration.

Hey guys! Could someone from BITS Hyderabad share a few random/casual campus pictures? Stuff like hostel, mess/canteen, campus walks, buildings, everyday scenes , basically normal phone-clicked photos.I’m looking for some casual BITS Hyderabad campus pics for reference. Google mostly has professional ,official photos, so I thought it’d be better to ask current students for normal everyday pictures.
