Day 1 at KTR completely broke me

Hey guys,

Just reached Chennai yesterday for college for the placements and Day 1 hit me like a ton of bricks.

I’ve stayed in hostels for 7 years, but yesterday broke me in ways I didn't expect. After a 30+ hour train journey with no sleep, cab hassles at Central station, and the intense language barrier, everything just piled up. I was so overwhelmed that I literally broke down crying on the street while walking around trying to distract myself.

Even today, I’m not doing any better. I’ve broken down again and the isolation is hitting really hard. I’m currently stuck around the Singaperumal Koil side, and with zero familiar faces around, no local network, and placement anxiety constantly hanging over my head, it feels suffocating to sit in this room alone.

I don’t even know what to ask for anymore, but I genuinely just want to connect with people from campus.

If anyone is around KTR, navigating this final year/placement phase, or just wants to grab a chai, hang out, talk about prep/code, or literally anything to break this silence—please shoot a DM. Really need some grounded peer company right now.

For any one looking for gym ?

I’m planning to start going to the gym and have been checking out gyms nearby. The cheapest one I found with decent equipment is Easy Fit, and they have a 12 person offer for just ₹4.5k per year. I can’t afford an expensive gym membership right now due to some personal reasons, so this offer would really help.

The gym at college is extremely crowded, and when I tried going there, I noticed that some of the machines weren’t properly maintained. So I’m considering Easy Fit instead.

I’ve already managed to get 6 people interested, and I’m looking for 6 more to complete the offer.

If anyone is interested or knows anyone, please comment .

SRM Medical College KTR - MBBS campus life?

Hi everyone!

I’ve been a silent spectator on this sub for sooo long and I’ve seen so many posts about SRM, but I barely see anything about the medical students.

I’m seriously considering joining SRM KTR for MBBS, and I have a few questions about what life is actually like there for medical students.

One of the main reasons I’m interested in SRM is because from what I’ve seen, there seems to be a pretty good balance between academics and having a life outside academics. There’s always some event, fest, activity or something happening on campus, and students seem to actually have fun.

Butttt one thing I’ve noticed is that in most of the event posts/videos, I see students from almost every department except Medicine

So I really wanted to ask the MBBS students here:

  • How is campus life for MBBS students at SRM KTR?
  • Do medical students actually get to participate in fests, events and other college activities?
  • How strict is the schedule/attendance?
  • How is the workload and academic pressure?
  • What are the professors and clinical postings like?
  • How is the hostel life, if anyone has experience with it?
  • And most importantly, is there actually a good balance between MBBS and having a personal/social life?
  • What would you say are the pros and cons of doing MBBS at SRM

I’d really appreciate honest opinions, especially from current students or recent graduates. Please don’t hesitate to mention the negatives too I’m trying to get a realistic idea before making such a huge decision.

Also I will be À day scholar so hostel trauma won’t apply ig

Any information or personal experiences would genuinely help me out. Thank youuu!!

Is srm worth it for mbbs?

please help me out 🙏🏻😭

Regarding Summer Internship

Hey 4th-year seniors and graduated seniors,

I am a 3rd-year CSE . For us, BNY, Fidelity, Microsoft and UBS came for internships, and I fucked up all of them . Fidelity OA is tomorrow and I have no clue what to do now.

I wanted to ask you guys what companies may come in the coming months for Summer Internships and how I should prepare for them. Which companies should I specifically target, and what should I focus on preparing — DSA, core CS, OAs, projects, etc.?

It would be really helpful if you guide based on your 3rd year experience
