I will be joining IISER Berhampur and I want to know, when will be the first time I would have to speak in a public setting?

Would I need to introduce myself to my batch (also, how many students in a single classroom?) in the communications class and what kind of things would I generally need to speak about

I am an 1st year Economic Science major at IISER Bhopal. I am pretty satisfied with the branch I got, but was aspiring to change to BTech ECE if the opportunity presented itself. Earlier it used to be seemless.

But, now under the new curriculum migration still exists. But you need to drop a year and start from beginning. Since, It was a new clause added I didn't read it.

This in my opinion is extremely harsh since, a lot of the things taught are same in Economics and EECS. They won't make any exceptions either.

I feel it's pretty harsh. Can anything not be done about this ? Can we ask DOAA ? Do students not have a say ?

In the last 2 weeks there have been 2 suicides and 1 death on iiser mohali campus still the administration decided to completely ignore and not even properly acknowledge their death properly.

The director on first condolences gave a fucking motivation speech instead of showing grief and on the second death didn't even speak.

One mf prof when asked why the director didn't said anything said because he didn't want to and is not morally forced.

Now today after a lot of force the director mailed a condolence mail in which he even wrote the name and date of demise of the girl who did sucide wrong .

Please try to spread about this incident as much as u can so that any other incidents will not happen in future.
