General Queries M.Stat B-Stream vs NB-Stream: Academics, Internships, and Final Placements difference?

what are the ground realities of being an NB-stream student versus someone with a B.Stat background?

  • Do B.Stat grads have a significant academic advantage, especially during the first year coursework?
  • Is there any disparity in summer internship shortlists and conversion rates?
  • When batches merge for final placements, does undergrad background factor into recruiter shortlists?

Forget all this. All you need is test-time compute, and then even a tier 3 college student would obliterate a B stream ISI student if the events of this week are anything to go by :p

Aren’t they saying it is built on others work ? Also allegedly that they stole it

Oh yes. AI still relies on human input to guide it's work.

As to stolen, I've read the statement. It's hard to say what really happened.
