So I have admission in snu noida for an inter disciplinary humanities course as a backup and have a strong shot at top du colleges for ba pol sci hons(score 954.12/1000). But it seems like I might be going to snu even if I get hindu. Is it really worth it? Is snu actually a good college? Are there any good counsellors I can talk to that won't be biased???

Btech biotechnology or btech bioinformatics

COLLEGES:- thappar (costly), jiit noida, iilm , amity

Pleaseee helllpppp🙏

Hi everyone!

I’m new to this community and wanted to introduce myself.

I’m currently on a drop year and preparing for IPMAT. I completed Class 12 with the PCM stream, scored 93% in Class 10 and 67.4% in Class 12. While my Class 12 score isn’t what I had hoped for, I’ve decided to focus on making this drop year count and give IPMAT my best shot.

I’m hoping to learn everything I can about IPM programs, IIM life, interviews, academics, internships, placements, clubs, hostel life, and the overall student experience. I’ll probably be asking quite a few questions here over the coming months!
I’d love to hear from current IPM students and fellow aspirants:

1.Does my academic profile still give me a realistic chance at the top IPM programs if I perform well in the entrance exam and interview?

2.What mistakes should I avoid during my preparation?

3.What resources or strategies helped you the most?

4.Looking back, what is one thing you wish you had known before joining an IPM program?

Looking forward to learning from everyone here. Thanks in advance!

I have been allotted msc biological at buts hyderabad campus but may get msc maths in further iterations. J am confused so as to what to prefer. My ultimate goal is to get be in cs after the first goal. Is there something like the professors are prejudiced against biological students. I am ok with memorising lot of info and am good at rote learning. I am interested in maths as well. However I am worried that if I do not get cs but end up with a circuital branch my third year will be bombed. With respect to career opportunities is there a big difference between maths or eco+ cs and bio+cs. I know that having biological helps you to focus on you be and also boosts your cgpa.. however maths has more career paths. Can someone who has taken msc biological or msc maths guide me?

Is the Thinkbook laptop (16 gb ram, amd ryzen 7, 512 ssd win 11) a good choice for phd with heavy bioinformatics nad stat (R studio) work? Not too heavy but will use autodock, biovia, graphpad prism, spss and R. May use other open software too. Or any other? In or within the budget? Like ho victus?

It should be long-term (10 plus years) and upgradable. I have a hp pavilion (old model) but battery issue were there and after changing it started hanging a lot. Also i was told there is aproblem in ssd and the system may shut down anytime. So I am thinking of upgrading the laptop. I am from India. Field is biotech and bioinformatics

I'm from India and currently in the 3rd year of my 4-year BA in Geography. I'm trying to plan my career after graduation and would love to hear from people who studied Geography in India.

I'm particularly interested in environmental studies, marine and coastal fields, and natural disaster management. If you have a BA in Geography, what are you doing now? How did you get into your current field, and what would you recommend I start doing while I'm still in college? I'd really appreciate any advice, especially if you've built a career in India. Thank you!

I'm 18yo, would be joining IISER this year probably. I am very passionate to go into the armed forces (army specifically) although as we know that getting selected through NDA or CDS is very challenging and now everyone makes it, nor is there any straight path to do so. Right now for college I have 2 options basically, engineering colleges (RVCE, MSRIT, etc) and IISERS, im making decision between these two on the basis of interest purely, as what would I like to do in my civilian life if I don't get selected, that'd definitely be into research field. Although if I select IISERS, I'd practically be killing my army route.

I'm 18 now when I'll be joining college, I have 2 more NDA attempts with me that I'd give in 1st year of my college. But here's where the problem starts, I can only apply for CDS in the final year of degree or after graduation. The BSMS degree is too long, by the time i'd be in my 4th year, I'd already be 22, and most people are involved in master's thesis project in their 4th year, sometimes people even go abroad for that. I'd graduate at 23 and the maximum age for IMA application is 24, so I'd have 1 or 2 attempts at most that too considering I go for PhD elsewhere as most people tend to do.

It's quite a dilemma, I have to chose between 2 things, if I leave IISERS for army route and I don't get selected, that be very disheartening as I would've left a college and career path for nothing and vice versa. I don't know if there's any way around it, it's not an easy decision to take, especially at my age. I can't take a BSc degree at the end of 3rd year without having to leave college as far as I have searched.

If someone can help me with this decision or been in my shoes, please I would like for your advice.

I am 24 F, completed my masters in psychology last year and am GATE and NET qualified. Have been taking up hr internships since then as I have had no luck with jobs till now.

I am really worried about my career. I am turning 25 soon and it’s starting to get me- the pressure to settle, peers moving ahead in life, no fancy titles or degrees on my resume.

I am really anxious and confused at this point. What should I do next? Should I do an MBA or a PhD or just keep finding jobs?

Hi buddies so i was free today as its weekend so i thought to share my journey with you guys.

So i gave jee in 2023 and i got 97.9 percentile in 1st attempt , and honestly i was expecting that i would get around 90 percentile hardly and was wishing that i get atleast some branch in some nit , but i was completely underestimating myself ,
Then i gave second attempt and got 99.4 percentile and my mom was so happy man , remembered that while writing this , ohh man that was amazing day .

Okay back to point lol , so after that i was fed up of studying so i stopped studying and packed my books , i gave advance unprepared and gotsome 75 marks i guess and the cutoff was above 80 (i dont remember exact values) , so i didnt cleared cutoff from some 3-8 marks i guess , but i was still super happy and my parents too.

Then i got CSE in Nit Kurukshetra , admission happened and i came there and what a feel that was in few first months , daily it was like i have really achieved something.

But slowly it faded because everyone there was like me , but still i will always be happy of my achievement.

Then i met more students there who were completely different from me , there were all kinds of people , smarter than me , more smarter than me (hehe) , then the reality started hitting , the same struggle was continued there to improve everyday and get something in life.

I got 0 marks in my C programming language course , then again doubts hitted me like it used to in jee time.

But i kept going and it was all because of the mindset i build in jee time.

So eventually i got good too in everything and i am going in 7th semester now and i have managed to maintain an avergae cgpa of 9.38 .
Then i also made a startup using my skills and its still growing good and earning me too.

then i got internship in a really great company and now i am earning something , and next semester our placements would start and i am sure i will get good placements.

So in the end if i would be asked to give jee again and follow the same path then i definitely will because it built a unbreakable character of mine.
All the best guys.

Hi, I am 23M, with BSc in Mathematics from a local college and MMath from ISI(Kolkata), with 57% overall marks in MMath, I always thought I wanted to get into PhD in pure mathematics and become a professor, but after my MMath course, I didn't want to get into PhD anymore. I have recently been selected in DS and AI course(MSc) offered by RKMVERI (Belur). There was a friend of mine who joined this course in 2024, he has a job now at EY. He says all the helpful professors in RKMVERI have left and says the placement prospect in 2028 doesn't look good. I am really scared and don't know what to do.

Please help me!

Which one should I choose so I don't end up regretting it later??

Need help!

Please answer asap, it's urgent.

Thanks in advance ❤️
