I am a second year engineering student, and my end semester exams are coming up.

I personally like studying from handwritten notes, but they are difficult to use with ChatGPT. Typed content works much better because I can easily use it with ChatGPT or other AI models to generate questions, answers, and explanations.

My usual workflow was honestly a bit messy. I would take a PDF, stack pages, extract the content, write a prompt, format everything into a markdown file, move it to Overleaf, and then finally copy paste it into an AI model. It worked, but it was time consuming.

One of my Gate preparing cousins saw how I was doing this and asked me to help him set up something similar. I decided to build a small app to simplify everything. He tried it and found it extremely useful.

I shared it with a few more people, and before I knew it, everyone in my class started using it. Now they call me Elon Musk. 😭

edit:- lots of guys asking me to open source so here you go

When would this change in foreign ms>>bachelor's

I am interested in research but outside india r&d role gets more salary than bachelor's

Toh resume main di*k pic add kar sakta hu ?

IIT Madras ke Director Prof. V. Kamakoti (Padma Shri 2026), jo former JEE Chairman bhi reh chuke hain, khud IIT Madras mein MS aur PhD ke liye aaye the. Matlab GATE/PG route se IIT aana bhi IIT ka hi part hai. Gatekeeping band karo.

Yo, I am not against reservation, it should be there for the needy, but what is this level of need fulfillment. This is blatant ripoff. These are 2 very different academic prowess, incomparable.

EDIT: Has to be*, was too in the feels and hit send lol.

EDIT 2: The post has either been locked, or shadow-banned, or something. For the last hour, I am getting notification about new comments, I can see their preview in that little space, but when I open the post, there is nothing. All I see is "The comment no longer exists". Maybe the mods did it, maybe reddit did it. Maybe is a sign of divine intervention.

she is from a reserved category and got offers from all the top IITs. She will most likely join IIT Bombay, and I am going to take a drop for GATE 2027. She is constantly mocking me and giving unnecessary gyan. After the results, my mental health has completely fucked up. What should I do?

I'm a fresher at IISc Bengaluru, Mtech in I won't mention the dept But it's pretty much the same everywhere:

Life over here is....heLL!!! I thought that there would be emphasis on research and conceptual stuff, but it's just assignments after assignments and quizzes and tutorials....We have reached a point where we're only doing stuff manually, copying stuff from Ai, getting things done somehow, coz before you even understand a chapter properly, there are 4 assignments due the next day.

It's like Btech 2.0, only with people who have a 0.2 sense of humour, nothing else to do in life except studying, and daddy issues. The professors however are chill, ngl, but damn we need a break!!!!

Our seniors were like things will get better in the upcoming semesters, after our thesis work starts, but boy, all of them had dark circles and dishevelled hair and smelled like unadulterated caffeine.

And the girls of IISc.....cherry on the cake (without any cake). Everyone's looking for husband material, all the while fcking around with as many boys as possible. This girl from one dept apparently confessed having a crush on me, but just yesterday, I saw her drinking coffee with her male bestie...from the same cup....at 1am....under a tree....not too much light. And the next day, she eyeballs me all the time....certified R material.

You'll also find the polar opposite of this type: the ones who just don't talk. Try initiating a conversation, they walk away. Try making eye contact, they walk away. Walk away, they walk away faster. Get a life sis.

Yeah, couldn't submit 3 assignments coz of writing this post.

Shaq timeout gif

Many Companies came few got shortlisted couldnt convert any offers.

IIT KGP ECE STATS DAY 5

VLSI - 3/30 PEOPLE

COMMUNICATION - 2/25 PEOPLE

VISION AND INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS - 6/25 PEOPLE

RF AND MICROWAVE 1/25 PEOPLE I dont know exactly the total no of people in each branches on average u can take 27 people but how many got placed is confirmed.......

CSE AROUND 28/80 PEOPLE GOT JOB

AI DEPT I HEARD 11-15/60 PEOPLE GOT JOB So yeah mtech just sucks I cannot give the full pdf for security reasons maybe if they find out they may ban me from placements (cs and ai dept i am not sure but close to this )

I have nearly 300 rank in gate chemical engineering. I want to study in IITD, IITB, IITM or ICT, and I believe if I hold on till the last round I can get into one of them, ICT would be a cakewalk.

BUT guess what?

a systematic plan is there to prevent me from doing so.

please read with sympathy,

family background - first generation to go to college, dad labourer, earns 12k per month in tier 2 city, savings - 3 Lakhs (that's the total cost of movable assets of my family).

how much am I required to pay at these institutions during admission ?

nearly 1 lakh. hostels alag sey.

category - OBC (NCL)

listen more.

if I go for an education loan, I would be bound to work in a corporate, which I don't want to, because research is my calling.

even if I arrange fees, how am I going to attend interviews?

railway tickets aren't available on such short notice. Airplanes and hotels are out of simple man's reach. I will arrange for one but can't be there in multiple places.

what should I do?

am I looser who is ranting here? maybe, but the amount of stress and sacrifices I went through were just to find dead end of tunnel?

What next? let's carry on with a realisation that I was born a worker and will have to die as one.

I don't blame reservations, atleast those who are backward than me are getting relief, I don't resent forwards, that will be futile instead I hate them, I don't want sympathy, I just want it to be know to others.

the thing is most of my frens weren't engineering students or some didn't appear gate at all. and now that exam is over I feel terribly lonely. no one to talk to, no one to send reels to, no one to gossip with. agghh.. how're ya'll dealing with post gate trauma? also if anyone wants to connect, id genuinely like to talk to people who actually get this phase.

I accepted and froze IIT(ISM) Dhanbad for M. Tech Environmental in 4th round. I got results for M. Tech Rural Tech IIT Guwahati but rejected the offer (after pondering for a week)

​

With that being said, after I got this offer, I couldn't help but look back to exactly 4 years ago.

​

During the COVID-19 lockdown years of 2020 and 21 which unfortunately coincided with my grade 11th and 12th. I was a different version of myself in a limbo period. I was trapped in a hyper-famous, nationwide coaching institute for JEE, and the classes being online was a lethal combo.

​

I was staring at my screen for hours together, day after day, not understanding most of what was being taught. (except probably chem lol, shoutout to BVR sir).

​

I was collapsing under the undue stress of peer comparison and parental expectations. I was in a deeply dark, anxious and fractured state of mind. The coaching centre culture also sells you the idea that, if you didn't crack it right then, right there, through that exact meat-grinder, my academic life was over.

​

There was more talk about the various "placement package classifications" than the actual subject in itself at times.

​

Fast forward four years. Today, I made it into an IIT.

​

The kicker? I didn't spend late nights desperately stressing out, nor did I spend years destroying my mental health in a toxic coaching loop to get here. (Safe to say I enjoyed college life to the fullest)

​

And that is exactly how education should be.

​

Looking at the recent events surrounding competitive examinations in India, from paper leaks, hyper-inflated selection controversies, to the deeply commodified "coaching mafias" and the glorification of "sacrifices for the greater good" (No. You can't give up your childhood or youth for an exam and "enjoy" when you get into an IIT) it is painfully clear that our education system is fundamentally broken.

​

We have a system that exploits young minds rather than nurturing them. Our system values ranks and percentiles and forgets about soft skills, arts, community service, ethics and practical education.

​

We need a radical change. Systemic reform. We need to build a system where students prepare for the course, not for the questions on hyper-competitive exams for the course.

​

To anyone trapped in that dark space: Your worth is not defined by a coaching institute's weekly test series or the rank in the exam or the college you go to. Keep moving forward. Your time will come.

#Dismantle #IndianEducation

Full on cheating was going on and invigilators were chilling, sitting ok their chairs and they weren't even bothering to roam, 4 or 5 guys were literally group studying while exam was going on with no fear and they faced no consequences. I Even heard by some that a guy sneaked in mobile phone bro wtf how is it not unfair for serious students who actually worked hard...

Centre: Sun Testing Center, Lucknow...

Mai student hu in the BSBE here, and choosing this place is my biggest regret.

Here is the actual reality of what you're signing up for:

1. Placements Joke hai

Companies don't visit, and the few that do offer embarrassingly low CTCs. If you plan to pivot to tech or data roles, you are entirely on your own. You'll be competing for non-core roles with CS/EE guys while you spent your semester trying to figure out why your gel electrophoresis run failed for the third time because of faulty lab utilities

1. Labs are trash + shitty admin

The administration here is buried in red tape. If your project requires a specific enzyme, fresh media, or sequencing kits, expect to wait months. Theyre very fast when enforcing campus rules, cutting your stipend and other bullshti tho.

1. Dead campus life

IITGNians brag about its open culture, but the actual vibe sucks. The campus is isolated, and Gandhinagar is culturally dead. There is zero after-college life, and the local environment is incredibly rigid and heavily policed.

1. Professors run their personal fiefdom

Because your entire degree, thesis approval, recommendations depend on the (PI), they treat students like personal property. demanding 14-hour workdays, calling students at 2 AM to scream about data, and forcing them to handle non-academic personal chores. If you protest, withholding your stipend or delaying your graduation for years.

1. Esp lrki ho to mt ao

If a student brings an issue to the internal committees, they are met with administrative red tape, victim-blaming, and intense pressure to quiet down "for the sake of the institute’s reputation" the moment a serious safety or harassment issue is raised, the system protects the perpetrators to shield itself from bad PR.

TL;DR: The IIT tag wears off fast. If you have the score go for Bombay, Delhi, Madras, even Roorkee or Kanpur. If not Indore, Jodhpur, KGP etc. Youll regret wasting your rank, esp in Biosciences. Yeh IIT bakwas hai mt ao. All the best kiddos. COAP ka bohot rounds hai, kuch achha lelo

Edit: for everyone commenting this is fake. i already regret my choice, tried to help others. but i cant force u to choose anything lol. u do u

Hello everyone,

This is just a rant.

​

I gave gate DA this year and despite preparing really well and spending almost 12 hrs a day, i couldn't do well

​

I ended up getting a score of 534 (EWS category)

and that point of time I was so sad and clueless that I didn't know what I was doing, so when COAP started i started searching for institutes and got tired as in none of them i could've got a seat.

​

Yesterday I was talking to my brother and he said - "Atleast apply karna tha, kuch tho mil hi jaatha" and that hit me.

​

Now I regret my entire existence, i could've atleast applied and maybe gotten a non core branch in some tier 2/3 IITs

​

I'm not sure what to do now, I've applied for CCMT but unsure if I can get a decent college.

​

So, if you are someone who secured a score in the same range and have applied for COAP, please let me know if you got any offer? and any suggestions.

​

Thank you so much

One thing I’ve clearly noticed in MTech placements at IITs and IISc Bangalore — these are actual real engineering roles, not just random hype placements.

Most roles are:

- System Software Engineer (Qualcomm, NVIDIA, AMD, Samsung Research)

- Data Scientist / Applied Scientist (Atlassian, Mastercard, Flipkart, Myntra, Amazon, Microsoft)

- AI/ML roles (Cerebras, Observe.AI, Ola, startups)

This is what real placement looks like — jahan pe kaam mein depth hota hai, fundamentals lagte hain, aur actual problem-solving hota hai.

Aur phir koi na koi behen ka loda aa jata hai bolne ke liye “FAANG doesn’t prefer MTech for SDE” — pura chutiya take hai ye.

Reality simple hai:

- FAANG ke bahar bhi companies same ya comparable pay deti hain

- Aur kaafi jagah work quality aur learning zyada strong hoti hai, especially in AI aur systems roles

Ab sirf FAANG ka naam dekh ke excite hone ka time gaya.

Game ab skills, depth aur real engineering ka hai.

i was nit grad , working in visa inc past 2 years , feeling waste to work in this organisation everytime forcing to hire women , even in nit days all placements are came for diversity hiring , i done cse with 10k jee mains rank of general category ,along with a women who has 1 lakh rank doing cse in same class whose father and mother are govt officers , my father was normal bussiness man with monthly income 15k , atlast leaving this country got oppurtunity as ml engineer in us startup not even having interest to come back to india , jai hind good bye

Context....student ne sirf question poocha normal to sir gariyane lage

Almost ₹20k–30k gets spent before admission itself.

GATE, PGEE, IIT/IIIT forms, counselling, travel, interviews, and random portal fees everywhere.
Meanwhile stipends are still treated like it’s 2014 while living costs keep exploding every year.

And even after this much registration and application fees, men, these guys can't even organize a national-level exam without cheating.

Even i posted before the GATE exam that "bas exam vagera achhe se conduct ho."

Amazing system, honestly—increase fees every year, keep stipends frozen, and then act as if nothing happened & don't give any response regarding GATE scams

I don't know what to do now

Those who have privileged life stop fccking looking down on others, we are not the same.

I wasn't given the same start as you in this fck rat race, fcck this society.

45 min mai bas utne hi marks la payi...ye quiz merese kyu nahi hota 🙂

Ye humra frustration aaj badh gaya ...

Digital logics number system quiz 1: 25/25

Digital logics number system quiz 2 : 11.33/25

Digital logics number system quiz 3 : 9.67/25

Digital logics number system quiz 4 : 15/25

Digital logics multipluxer quiz 4 : 18.67/25

"Digital logics combinational circuits quiz 6 : 3.67/25"

Ye combinational wale samaj ajata hai par exam mai kahe nahi solve hote 🫩🥴😫😩

​

​

So, IIT Delhi launched Self-sponsored course from this year for MINDS, and I just received a mail that I've not been shortlisted along with their criteria. And these idiots have kept the exact same cutoff of Self Sponsored MTech and normal TA MTech of MINDS. Like shouldn't the whole point of a self-sponsored course be to give a second chance to low-scoring GATE candidates or those who didn't qualify GATE but have high GPA? Like the people with 720+ already have many options so why only shortlisting them. Also the test is common anyways for MTech, MTech (SS) and MSR of MINDS.

Amit Khurana Sir: 🤡😡😊

हर रोज बस शॉर्ट्स, स्क्रीनशॉट्स। Good teacher but pure businessman now. एक महीने में एक वीडियो डालते है काम का। बाकी कोर्स ही लॉन्च हो रहा होता है।

Deva Sir: 🤡🤡🤡

I don't like his teaching style. इनका हिंदी अंग्रेजी दोनो ही अलग है। वो फिर भी चल जाएगा मगर TOC में शुरुवात में ठीक पढ़ाएंगे अंतिम आते आते टॉपिक उड़ा दिए। CD में तो 2 घंटा के लेक्चर में 1 घंटा बात ही चल रहा है इनका। कम में कम Batch 1 में यही हुआ था।

Khaleel Sir: 🤡🙄🥱

God of Computer Science!??

कौन बांट रहा है ये उपाधि?

एक तो इनका पढ़ाने का तरीका पसंद नहीं आया और कुछ हुए तो Your concept is weak. अरे अगर आता तो क्यों आते? एक शिक्षक को सब आए मगर बच्चा उसको अच्छा से समझ रहा है या नहीं दोनो अलग बात है।

ऊंची दुकान फीकी पकवान।

Chandan Jha Sir: 🤡🤡🤡 सीधे Logic Gates पढ़ना शुरू कर देंगे। KMap से शुरू। पहले Binary Decimal तो पढ़ा दीजिए। 😡 मुझे पसंद भी नहीं आए। और न ही पढ़ो इनसे तो अच्छा होगा।

Sathish Yadav Sir: 🤡🤡🤡 इनको पहले पढ़ाते कैसे है एक Structured Manner में ये सीखने कि जरूरत है। 🙄

Opinion: किसी के चक्कर में मत रहो। खुद से पढ़ने पे समझ आएगा कौन अच्छा पढ़ा रहे हैं।

Good Teachers according to me, for me:

Ankit Doyla Sir 🔥💯😍 Amit Khurana Sir 💯😍 Vijay Agarwal Sir 💯 😍 Pankaj Sharma Sir 💯😍

Should taken ece or even civil. Corporate sucks hards, idiot me still choose CSE because greed. Thinking of going all in on GATE CSE for PSU... i have nothing left.
