Since 3 days haven't I slept well at all. Everytime I wake up with sweat and headache. And I am feeling like I'll get a heatstroke.

Daytime I go around AC but at night there is no place. I'm feeling very sick and disoriented rn. And don't know where to sleep peacefully where it is cold. CR is full. VR not allowed.

My symphony cooler isn't helping this summer. My heat tolerence is shit.

Please advice where to sleep. This summer is brutal AF

(Things I do :Bath thrice a day, Water 3L+,drink cold water only, eat only cold fruits or cold food, avoid food of warm nature, hang wet clothes in room to cool down, Umbrella when out, Light colour clothes, wet scarf on head.)

I can't afford renting an AC room everyday outside campus. F

Who do you think is best prof at IITD and worst among all the profs here

I'm really want to get answer from someone who's currently in tech role (intern of placement)in product based companies or ai or Fintech firms or maybe any big firm.

I'm in a lower branch 1st year and I want to utilise my summer break, I'm very much inclined towards some role which has some math based work .

I couldn't do much dsa or dev in 1st year. Now I want to start cp.

But I don't know what to do

My mind has 2 options.

1. Striver (I'll study cpp from his mini video only and then try to continue from there only)

2. Luv cp playlist as it is cp focused

Honestly I felt luv cp little boring that's why thought to start from striver.

How should my journey be, any advice?

Pleaseeeee help me ...I don't have a single project in my resume😭😭🙏🙏🙏

I have learnt web dev (frontend only). But i don't know how to apply the knowledge and build projects . Should i start from scratch (I have to do DSA in this summer break because i have my intern season next sem so I have less time) or I should use Google Ai Studio or any other AI (please tell which one) .Can I build projects using these and use them in resume. Interviewer ko pta chl jaega ki vibe code krke bnaya hai ya na pta chle uske lie bhi kuch kr skte hain, If yes please tell or If any youtube video can help me then please paste the link here .

Its my first day of internship and man it feels so empty. I am in japan currently and no one utters even a word sab ke sab bc shaant, not my first time livin alone , phele bhi when I got into college ek sec bhi home sickness nhi hui jitni aaj ho rhi hai 😭😭😭😭

just need rough % or may be got internship but co wasn't worth IITD BTECH CSE . and any idea what were those guys lacking ? just worried hence asking. We have time to work on shortcomings now, dont want to regret later.

IIT Delhi his 23km away from my home..
Will I get a hostel allocated? Are there any issues with allotment of Hostels for Delhi Students?

Any ways? Genuine reasons?

fuck yall im fucking off. (it makes me sad)

for what purposes can CCTV be accessed and can it be used to catch cheating in big LHCs like 121/108/325? How good resolution does it have? If anyone has seen it with their own eyes?

When I was in my first year, I truly looked up to respectable POR holder bhaiyas/didis like secretaries of clubs, techboard POR holders etc.

But now that I have (hopefully) passed my 2nd year, got a POR myself and see so many of my batchmates get those coveted PORs...

I think most people, including me, are scammers. For example I am a head in some very respectable tech club and I really do not know that much. AI carried me throughout my 2 years in this club. I do not think I will do a very good job helping my juniors.

And it does not stay confined to clubs either.

So many of my friends cheat on codeforces, in their labs, in their assignments. Even people who get top grades from amazing branches have a history of cheating many times. Some of these are the new faces of our technical clubs - and I cannot help but wonder, have we really normalized dishonesty to such a large extent?

What was the last time I actually liked studying anything at college? What was the last time I actually used as much brain power as I did while I was doing my JEE Prep?

Did I scam myself, and potentially others?

The behavior of the new dean has become completely unacceptable. Students are being treated without basic respect, as if their voices and struggles do not matter. For even small and normal issues, students are being threatened with extreme actions like semester backs after disciplinary discussions. This is not discipline this is dictatorship.

The rude behavior from certain professors and the constant pressure environment is seriously affecting students mentally and emotionally. Colleges are supposed to support students, not make them suffer.

I think this is the right time for all of us to raise our voices together. Share this post, spread awareness, and make sure it reaches as many people as possible. No student should have to survive under fear, humiliation, and toxic authority.

I'm thinking of buying a bicycle for daily commute to reach stadium from my home just to save some petrol and or to enjoy slow morning's, let me know if someone know if someone is selling

Ye kitni bdi chij hai ? Or hmare college me iska koi khas craze q nhi hai baki dusre college k bchho me hai aisa q ?

Hi,

Since we are on the subject of ethics and appropriate behaviour by faculty at the esteemed institute, I would like to draw your attention to this behaviour.

Dr. Arpita Patra recently posted a fund raiser on Milaap to raise funds for her next mountaineering expedition.

My two cents:

1. ⁠Utilizing a platform deeply associated with survival to fund a luxury, high-cost hobby (mountaineering) risks diluting the platform’s core mission. A donor visiting the site with the intent to save a life may feel misled or structurally manipulated when encountering a campaign for a recreational expedition.
2. ⁠Full professors at this level enjoy stable, top-tier institutional salaries, comprehensive government benefits, and significant societal privilege. Mountaineering especially pursuing the "Seven Summits" is widely recognized as one of the most expensive hobbies in the world, costing tens of thousands of dollars per climb for permits, logistics, and private guides. It is ethically questionable for a highly compensated professional to ask the general public (many of whom may earn significantly less) to subsidize a deeply personal bucket-list ambition.
3. ⁠Climbing a mountain is ultimately a personal achievement. If the goal is truly to promote gender equity or inspire rural students in West Bengal, the hundreds of thousands of rupees raised could arguably be directly donated to girls' education or rural science infrastructure, rather than being spent on international flights and climbing permits.
4. ⁠Seeking corporate sponsorship via a professional pitch deck is a standard, ethical exchange of branding and marketing. Shifting that financial burden onto the public via a charity crowdfunding link suggests an unwillingness or inability to secure traditional athletic sponsorship, defaulting instead to public goodwill and the prestige of the "IISc" brand to solicit personal funds.
5. ⁠When a donor contributes to a mountaineering expedition because they respect the professor's academic background, that money is effectively diverted away from local charities, medical emergencies, or actual grassroots community development. From a utilitarian ethical standpoint, the "good" generated by funding one individual's hobby is vastly outweighed by the "good" that same capital could do if directed toward systemic societal needs.

Dr. Patra's achievements are objectively impressive, but using a public charity platform to finance an incredibly expensive, optional, and elite sport while occupying a position of significant economic security is a misuse of public generosity.

PS - She has significant corporate and government funding for her lab running in crores and drives a big car that costs atleast INR 15 lakhs

PPS - Dr. Patra, if this post reaches you, please try to come up with an explanation. You are answerable.

I have a 7.33 CGPA and I’m from a circuital branch. Is it still possible for me to get a decent placement for SDE roles even if I don’t get any internship?

I’m currently doing DSA(above average) and I’m planning to use this summer productively. The main reason I couldn’t get an internship was probably my weak DSA skills at that time and a resume that wasn’t impressive enough (still it is). I was not able to clear most of the OAs, and in the few companies where I did manage to crack them, I ended up choking in the interviews.

I wanted to ask what I should focus on this summer if I want to improve my resume for SDE roles. Should I work on projects, and if yes, what kind of projects would actually help? Seniors please give some guidance.
