Hi folks!! Firstly congrats on just clearing one of the toughest exams of India. Now before you equate IIT = Placements...please read this.
Well, firstly IIT is and was never about PLACEMENTS. IIT's are always about "knowledge". The knowledge and insight to subject that you get here is priceless!! This knowledge is going to be your modus operandi for anything you do after your 4yrs. This knowledge is what you must have thirst for.
I saw that almost 75% of you were interested in getting CSE branch. Its ok that many of you may be having in coding or computers...that's not an issue. But truly speaking, your choices were driven by hefty pay packages given to CSE grads. Like the average package for a CSE student here is 24lpa. Isn't it intimidating?
If you carry on your 4 yrs with this attitude, then sorry but you cannot go anywhere with this. Even students getting hefty packages have done very very hard work to achieve that.
No branch is bad or good. Placements are just a very small part of them. Moreover, doing a job (provided your financial condition is not that bad) after your graduation is a waste of your potential. Irrespective of any branch you are from, you will get equal opportunities. Each year, students from each branch go for masters in some of the world's best colleges - MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Purdue, Cornell, etc. Of course, you can also go there, provided you change your former attitude.
Take example of Biotech - Out of a batch of 48-50 students, 3-4 of your batch mates will definitely be going for higher studies in ivy league colleges , as they go each year.(MIT, Stanford, Cornell etc.). And this story is of every branch, be it CSE, Mechanical, Electrical, Biotech, Civil, Design etc.
The best attitude would be - be thirsty for knowledge from your 1st day. Question everything? Why is this? How is this? Reach to the root of everything to get a better understanding. Next, after your base is complete, try to advance your knowledge by reading foreign author books and research papers of your favorite topic.
Lastly, never study for marks - always for knowledge. Marks will automatically be reflected in your answer sheet. I know i am speaking like "3 idiot" movie, but believe me, i am a 9 pointer till now with this methodology only. And its never about pointers...these can and will never define your true knowledge. Give your best...and rest will be assured.

One of your main points is that students go to the IVY League Colleges for higher studies. What about enhancing the research atmosphere in IITs themselves? What about pursuing higher studies in IIT themselves to enhance the quality of research via your quest of knowledge?
ReplyDeleteFirstly, Enhancing research and related opportunities is the foremost task for professors. Secondly, yes students can pursue their further studies in IIT also, I was just giving an example.
DeleteThe article was quite informative and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI'm a second year B.tech student of IITG with an ambition of studying in MIT or the ivy league colleges. Can you please tell me when is the right time for starting preparation for GRE and TOEFL? And what resources and methods will be really helpful for the prep? Also what are the other factors they consider for the admission. Thanks.
I am assuming that you have just entered your 2nd year. GRE and TOEFL are conducted round the year. So best time would be when there are no exams or interviews around. For more info on resources, its better to consult current 4th years who are preparing for these exams.
Deletecan you tell me the future of taking bio tech as option in iit or in any college after passing out.......because it say's that bio-tech is developing since it is developed????
ReplyDeleteBio tech (BT) provides you with some of the most dynamic opportunities in research area of genes, cells etc. There is a HUGE scope of it, provided you see perceive this correctly. I mean..search for stem cells or Human Genome Project on Google..and you can find millions of opportunities ambulating here and there.
Deletegot cse in iit guwahati in 1st round, how will be life next four years?

DeleteI'm poor in english, how can i manage it there?
ReplyDeleteNo prob...you can manage..do not worry. Just make sure that you can read and understand everything written in English, that would be enough.
DeleteWhich websites are blocked in IITG Lan? I Think you understood about websites i speak
ReplyDeleteNone..Just that there are some 'restricted' sites which, although you can visit, are monitored by Admin. So make sure you do not visit them more frequently.
DeleteHello. I am entering IITG with Mathematics and Computing. Do you have any idea about the curriculum followed in this department? and about the cs courses offered in this department, are they same or as good as the cs courses in CSE department?? And should I try for a branch change to CSE, given I have great interest in coding. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHello. Firstly a very warm welcome to IITG.
DeleteYour cse courses will be common with cse students that is you will study in same class with them.
Mathematics itself is a very good branch for coding but yes you may try as it depends on your interest .
Is there any recommendation by profs fr institutions in US? Wats d target to achieve scholarship in these institutions for ms or mtech?
ReplyDeleteAre Der any scholarships in d iit itself an funding for projects?
There may be a reco if your performance is exceptional...don't focus that far..just try to give your best.
DeleteAny scholarship for branch toppers?
DeleteYes...its called IMS (Institute Merit Scholarship). Your fee will be refunded to you plus 250 per month.

DeleteGot mechanical there, how is the branch
ReplyDeleteAs i have said, every branch provides ample of opportunities.
DeleteGot civil here.
ReplyDeletewant to change to mechanical.
what cpi is reqd??
8.5+
DeleteHow is engineering physics here?
ReplyDeletewhat about placements?
Why so less?
What is its scope?
How can i change to CS,EC or MECH
EP is a really good branch, specially for research. And don't decide any branch, pardon my words, from that bullshit doc that some lunatic and malignant has uploaded on freshers forum. Placements depend on a lot of factors. A general look at the stats can never define a branch but only disparage it.
Deleteis it necessary to go for post graduation ? what is its scope?
Deletewhat are the companies that recruit engineering physics graduate?
I think i am not appropriate to answer this question...you need to consult your seniors.
Deletewhat do think which is better , IIT Guwahati EP or NIT agartala electronics and communications?
DeleteI would still go with IITG EP. It depends a lot on your interest also.
Deletei have got biotech in final allotment...i want engg physics ... Is it true that ug students from physics dept. Are also made part of researches in the institute....??
ReplyDeleteStudents from EVERY department are made part of researches of their respective department. This depends on you, if you are interested you can ask the prof to include you in his research.
Deletehello.. I am a fresher.. I just wished to know how do we address our seniors at iitg?? Do we call them sir or simply their name?? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLol...address them by Name+Bhaiya
DeleteAre design students permitted to
ReplyDeletei) Graduate with a minor in computer science or mech engg?
ii) Are computer science graduates permitted to take a minor in design?
iii) Does Design syllabus for semester 1 & 2 have common maths related courses with engg branches? If not, are design students not handicapped in terms of engg fundamentals.?
Got chemical in iit g.How's it?What are the scopes of a chemical engg graduate?
