r/iiests

If you have been on r/iiests you probably have seen my posts/comments at least for once. I created this subreddit on Nov 21, 2025.

subreddit exploded in traffic volume

It has grown (read exploded) in the last few months, and for the first time in last decade does IIEST have a proper social presence for the common people to know about it. Yes, I am aware of the dead Facebook groups and decade old Quora answers...but oh boy, did they help so much in 2025 while I was looking to know more about this place?

Yes, I created this subreddit, the community discord server, all the WhatsApp support groups, came up with the idea for a map, a Wiki page and answered under EVERY post with a legit query in this subreddit. For the last 3 months, I made sure to build up the entire information stack this institute was missing for so long. I am glad that a few peers/friends came ahead to cooperate and answer/search docs/post photos in here, but before everything, you needed the weakest spark -- and that was missing all the time.

College mascot? Yes, I came up with that idea too last year, I did not have the prettiest rendition of it, but the concept idea originated from my rotten brain.

yes. i was that active.

I have replied to endless queries in my DMs, written long paragraphs, explained things in multiple ways to make people understand how things are here in this place.

You call me jobless and unemployed? I work in an extremely good startup as a research engineer with my coworkers from OpenAI & DeepMind, while being a UG researcher at IIIT H since my first year, and I am about to start working with a new ml sys group at IISc for the coming winter. I am not jobless, I simply cared.

I reached out to alumni from '03, '93, '88, '15, and '20. I collected all the insights I could from people who have +25 yoe working at FAANG, or are researchers, or professors, or venture capitalists and what not. I even reached out the previous GS/Presidents of CodeIIEST who are currently in Meta Superintelligence, Google Cloud etc. And surprisingly, I shared everything I had gathered. Why? I cared too hard.

Last year, we did not have an active subreddit. Heck, all the colleges had a JOSAA support group as listed on r/JEENEETards, you fuckers never even bothered to create one. I and one of my friends formed our own group to bring together all the wondering lost kids to help each other out. That was the start.

I was/am(?) part of CodeIIEST, cause that's what I liked -- and you guys had never heard of Advent of Code, there is still no FOSS community, you fuckers never ran weekly contests for CP, and no one had thought that systems programming is even a thing, or even worse, that there is a world outside of grinding LC/CF. I am the only reason people here were introduced to AoC, talked about FOSS for a while, made the posters AND selected the questions for weekly CP contests before any of you ever bothered to get a realization that they should have been doing those in the first place.

The point is not that I ran everything -- I did not, but the point is that, things started because I did not wait for your fuckass permission and executed it before anyone set up a fucking meeting to discuss its effectiveness, otherwise no one would have fucking cared for once.

You see the AMAs in this subreddit? You see the numerous informative posts?

Do you all think, people would have bothered, if anyone had not unconditionally did all these for fun in the first place?

No one would have ever thought of it. I bet my kidneys on that.

Guess how many people I replied to in my DMs? A staggering 134. Plus, a special mention, we started getting emails too! Almost 60% of the information stack on the internet about the current state of this college, is produced by these 10 fingers, and a stinky old ThinkPad.

People from other colleges, started mentioning about IIEST:

I even thought of using my connections to help get its name enlisted in many hackathons & events for which the name doesnt even show up for selecting. Will I do that? Fuck you all, I won't.

Why am I ranting like a mad man?

I am fucking disappointed. The amount of mental harassment a certain fraction of people here have done to me is beyond measure. I AM DISGUSTED to know that PEOPLE ARE EXCITED/PLOTTING TO BEAT ME UP, BECAUSE I MADE THE LIFE OF A BUNCH OF PEOPLE EASIER.

Fuckers, all of you sick pieces of meat have done till now were "DM me"s, sending creepy ass messages to girls on WhatsApp and Reddit, and playing grammar police games.

https://preview.redd.it/nvc7l6b8edkh1.png?width=461&format=png&auto=webp&s=db31d6bbbd066bd0376c3318b04f2114e7facc15

For fuck's sake, when an 18 year old moves out of their home for the first time, the amount of mental pressure, home sickness one might go through is very high. First time adulting is always tough. Not everyone is proficient in English OR communicating with so many people at the same time. It takes TIME. People were devoid of social interaction for the last maybe 2-3 years. You expect them to change in 2 days? Fucking bastards. I had lost a friend due to suicide in the summer of 2023, which took me weeks to get over. I have been on anti depressants, and I am well high up in the Autism Spectrum Disorder -- and I know, first hand, how shitty mental harassment can be and how much harm being overwhelmed can cause.

Now, before you lecture me on "its for the preparation of job interviews". I have fucking interviewed for NVIDIA after I got a referral, multiple YC backed startups, and several research labs in my first year. And, I fucking never stuttered or went unprofessional -- but I never needed anyone's grammar police babysitting for all that too! Oh sorry, you bastards never sat for an NVIDIA interview. Sad for you, losers.

I cared for you all, and what I got were some harsh DMs, several unsolicited phone calls, and people plotting to beat me up because my work prevented them from ragging new comers -- best part is, I never even interacted with them in the last year, they were never important in the first place!

I was even advised to not post anything on Reddit, because all these soft ragging is required to know each other. Brothers, it is not. I don't need to tell someone to "DM me", people just do, I answer in a sentence, they get their answers and move on. If you have one fucking OUNCE of capability in yourself, people will come to you.

I have recruiters sliding into my DMs, unlike you all who are sliding into the DMs of barely adult girls (mostly)/boys. We are not the same.

I don't need a person who FAILED in all subjects in his second year to tell me that I do not know anything, and how second year will be. I have been programming and studying CS since I was 8, and unlike you, I actually work on a niche, where whatever I write, becomes the source for it (ML inference on NPUs btw).

I am never this arrogant and never did I boast about my achievements, but I want to BE VERY CLEAR THIS TIME. YOU ALL ARE DISGUSTING, AND SHOULD ROT IN HELL.

UNSOPHISTICATED ROTTEN PIECES OF MEAT BAGS, WASTE OF SPERM, WITH NO OUNCE OF AGENCY OR AUTHENTICITY. SHEEP. SHEEP. SHEEP.

BEAT ME UP, BREAK MY LAPTOP, THROW MY PHONE, DESTROY MY GUITAR, FRACTURE MY BONES, I FUCKING DO NOT CARE. I HAVE BEEN BULLIED FOR YEARS IN SCHOOL, I HAD BROKEN MY ARM, GOT A SCREWDRIVER STRAIGHT UP PIERCE MY HAND, ELECTROCUTED MYSELF TO THE POINT OF MELTING MY NAILS, I DO NOT FUCKING CARE.

I CAN AFFORD TO DROP OUT, I CAN AFFORD TO FLY TO SF, I CAN RESTART MY ACADEMIC LIFE WITH A BSC IN PHYSICS, AND STILL RE-BOUNCE. Y'ALL CAN'T. I DO. I WISH TO LIVE UPTO 30, AND HAVE BEEN NEAR SUICIDAL EARLIER IN MY LIFE, I DON'T EVEN CARE TO DIE.

I hate this place and all the sick people in it, you people are SICK and ROTTEN to the core to label kindness and helpfulness as a reason for physically abusing someone.

So to everyone who read this, if you came here due to a fraction of the influence i had made on you through my words, i am sorry. if you are a classmate/peer, do not bring this topic in front of me, if you are one of those sick fuckers, i pray for the best of your health and wish you a happy life ahead.

If things escalate, I might drop out, or restart my degree at IIIT Hyd -- at least they are civilized enough. But be prepared to face the backslash, cause an autist can also become an weaponized autist, dead or alive.

i have no enemies, but i am extremely hurt and disappointed.

a frnd of mine recently added me to the iiest fresher's group...and i stayed just to see what was going on cuz ofc there's a thousand new students coming in.

man was i disappointed.

for some reason i thought that maybe the 29' batch would not repeat the same stupid ahh intro shi that we faced from our seniors...but well. its just disheartening how literally our immediate jnrs who just stepped into the clg are being criticized over every minor fucking detail instead of getting the help they need. sophomores are texting freshmen girls "DM me asap"...WHY ? just...why? why tf are we taking advantage of ppl WHO ARE LITERALLY A YEAR YOUNGER THAN US. and maybe i shouldnt say this, but half of these so called seniors probably have 5 supple exams due.

maybe being in this sub made me think that our batch is different, but ig i was wrong. i just dont understand how people can repeat the same thing that they went through instead of changing it.

Im sure you all read shonku’s post on this but heres my version
We started this sub to ensure that the things we had to face last year wouldnt be faced by this batch
But im honestly beyond shocked to know that our batch is basically the same as the senior batches
We still kept trying
Making different whatsapp groups
Reassuring people personally
Talking to 50 ppl in a day while having to manage our own schedules
Making shi for you guys to use to make your life easier (maps.iiest.wiki), but no kutch logo ka kutch nhi ho skta
Unlike my friends im not even angry at my batchmates, im just disappointed
Imagine being so dead inside that you have to try to show your superiority by bullying people one year younger then you
And if you retards say once again that “its to prepare for job interviews”, i know none of you have even sat for one interview in your life.
Fuck yourself.
Im sorry to all the juniors, im sure you expected better, and you have the right to demand better, but unfortunately we are out of options, im done with the mental harrasment and physical threats im receiving on the daily because of the fact we tried to help you
I cant deal with ts anymore
I wont be active on this sub for the foreseeable future
My dms are still open to you all
I tried my best
And to my batch who still insist on this culture
Fuck you all, from the bottom of my heart, fuck you, i hope you suffer the most horrible d*aths ever, and i want you to know that if i receive one more threat again, i will ensure tum maroge even if its the last thing i do
Abhi bhi time hai do better be better
Ye ragging krke ho “aura” gain kroge kahi nhi jaega, koi job nhi milega koi muh nhi dekhega
Jis din maroge koi yaad nhi krega
College ke bahar duniya hai uske liye prepare kro
Focus on the future, abhi bhi time hai pdhai kro, make some projects, get an internship, do some work, nasha krke puri zindagi guzaar doge, is kaam ke liye tumhare maa baap ne janam diya tumhe?? Kya sochenge vo jab tumhe dekhenge,
mar jao madarchodo
Aur jo agla mere kamre aaye usko khidki se bahar phenk dunga
Bhaad mein jao

After watching the official freshers group for the 2030 batch, I feel like it's a circus. Not a single person gives a correct introduction and also the seniors are just there to point out their mistake. Dude it's barely 2 days, let them adjust with the college first. I mean all the seniors are just pointing out little little things. Even the seniors who were offline all this year are also nagging this 1st year kids.

( I just watched all this from one juniors phone btw)

Does anybody know that what is the timing of the orientation program in IIEST on 21st August cause I am unable to find it.

So I'm here at institute hall for the admission of my cousin and this shit takes a lot of time to start and I need some food. you guys got any canteen or something where nok students are allowed.

https://preview.redd.it/tzep4cmut4kh1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=7fe5e5629cbaac289e17edb829bed66558d36e28

So if you didn't know, there are two people from the Tagore family(yes, the one and only Tagore family you are thinking about) who are buried in the cemetery present in the IIEST campus. I thought I will share with you whatever knowledge I have gathered about them, as I think it is pretty cool.

There was this guy named Joyram Tagore who was a super rich and zamindar type guy, he worked a government job in the East India Company.

His children were Darpanarayan Tagore and Nilmoni Tagore, who had a property dispute(inevitable)

Darpanaarayan tagore stayed back in paturiaghata which was the location of their ancestral house, whereas Nilmoni tagore went to Jorasanko and made his new estate there. this is where the Tagore family split, and the Jorasanko Tagore family is the branch from which Rabindranath Tagore came(Joyram was his great great great grandfather).

I said this because the Tagore graves in the campus cemetery are from the Paturiaghata family not the Jorasanko family, so they are very distant relatives of Rabindranath Tagore.

I will now sidetrack a bit to talk about Reverend Krishna Mohan Bannerjee, who was born into a Brahmin family but was largely influenced by Christian principles, because of which he was excommunicated by his family(and also because he was part of a rebellion group and had offended some precarious religious sentiments of his family, among many others). He converted to Christianity and joined a missionary society after which he became the first Bengali priest of the Christ Church in Kolkata.

I am mentioning him because he was later made a teacher at the Bishop's College, which is now Madhusadan Bhavan in IIEST Shibpur. Oh by the way, his grave is also in the college cemetery and his name is especially highlighted; you all can go see it

So back to the Tagores, Gyanendra Mohan Tagore of the Paturiaghata Tagore family married Krishna Mohan Bannerjees daughter Kamalmoni in, I think, the 1850s and converted to Christianity, and his dad being an orthodox Brahmin disowned Gyanendra. So he stayed in the Reverend's residence in campus and had two kids with Kamalmoni Barendranath Tagore and Nityendrabala Tagore, but they died in infancy. Its these two infants who are buried in the campus cemetery and are part of the Tagore family.

After his children died, Gyanendra Tagore moved to London to teach Hindu Law in Univerity College, London.

I might need a NOC if I wish to work onsite during winter (Jan/Feb months + Dec == vacation).

Was there any historical instance that someone got an NOC for this period?

That'd be my fourth semester
