One of my school friends bagged 1cr+ offer in Bangalore ☠️
Another of my friends is moving to US to pursue her masters (fully funded) ☠️
And here am I.......🙂
Lately feeling like there's is a lot more to achieve!!! :) Motivation at its peak!!! :) Time to grind 💪
GATE 2025 registrations have begun today. Do apply guys. Any queries, feel free to comment down below.
Remember - MTech from IITs is worth it. I vouch for that. Give your best shot❤️✨
The senior-junior bonding in tier 3 cllgs is really messed up. It's more about toxic hierarchies & power dynamics than bonding and growth.
Here in IIT, I've got most supportive seniors still I feel anxious in speaking before them due to the past trauma I had in my undergrads.
It's been just a month since cllg started and I can't believe I already have an intern offer and have started implementing a research paper.
So much happened in so little time🫥
Today was our test for Maths and the professor gave questions from international maths olympiads 🙂 1.5 hrs for just 4 questions still most of us couldn't solve.
This is not the 'Welcome to IIT system' we deserved. IIT exams a no joke🤧🥲
My DMs got flooded after my last post. Won't be possible to reply everyone individually. Sorry!🫥
Anyway, here I've attached the compilation of resources (most common query) for gate prep.
You all can refer to these.

Tier 3 cllgs never fail to disappoint. I require provisional degree certificate before joining IITG and these people aren't responding to calls and msgs. Was told that the results would be declared by mid June. The entire system is doomed.
Yesterday, a girl asked me a math question, and that's the longest interaction I've had with a girl in the last two months at IITG. I can't stop thinking about it🙂
Feels like I'm losing in life🙂
There's always a professor who is hated by the entire class. And he has a favourite student in the class for no reason (no one knows whyyy). And that little human is always roasted in his friends group because of that.
I HATE TO ADMIT I AM THAT LITTLE HUMAN in MATHS CLASS😭
Today's to-do list
• CNN playlist by AndrewNg
• Learn about LPC model in speech Processing
• Implement VGG16 paper
• Fermat's and Wilson's theorem in maths
Will attend Kullu's standup show in the evening if I complete all the tasks🤝
GRIND GRIND GRIND
I'm graduating as a GOLD Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador. Am not gonna extend it for my masters (coz things are already pretty hectic :))
The best program for cllg students. Do apply!
In today's paper of algorithms, the prof asked one of the GATE 2024 questions on recurrence relation (which I could not solve back then in GATE and missed 2 marks coz of that😁)
And I solved it TODAY! Damn the satisfaction🤌
I HAVE CONQUERED THAT QUESTION.
ONE REGRET DOWN
AIR 4 in PGEE exam🥹
Received admission offer from IIIT Hyderabad. Confused whether I should go for IIT tag in IITG or take up IIITH based on its reputation.
Need to make a payment 2L to reserve my seat . Having a backup option is so much expensive😭
Life is hard🥲

Don't know why people consider GATE exam overhyped!
And people who clear it are underhyped. It is the last resort of Tier 3 cllg students. Also, it is a national level exam, no idea why people undermine it. It deserves its share of respect.
Here is my experience in SRIB hiring process -
OA round- 3hrs was given to solve 1 coding question. The question was a complicated variation of knapsack. Identifying it was knapsack was easy, coding the solution was a bit tough. All TC were to be passed to get the interview call
One day you are a genius at maths and no one is better than u and the next day you are the dumbest person on the planet. There's no middle ground.
Today, I am at the top of the world. Don't want the day to end coz.....🥲
I asked a professor for reference letter to apply to a scholarship and it has been over 2 weeks and he still haven't provided one. And tomorrow is the last date😑
Woke up to the news of death of a masters student in IITG. It's quite scary and disturbing. SHOCKED. Don't know what the future holds.
May her soul rest in peace finally.
Sylvester Gallai theorem -
“it is not possible to arrange a finite number of points so that a line through every two of them passes through a third unless they are all on a single line.”
As basic as it sounds, is there any simple proof for this?
As per last year, internship hiring at IITG will start only a few days after we arrive in the campus.
Pata nahi kya kya padhna hai to crack the internship🥲 I wish I had continued CP along with GATE prep in BTech days. Truly lost at the moment.
Ps - updated X bio😁
Just read AlexNet research paper and am blown away by the architecture. Today, everything in it sounds intuitive but it must have cost hundreds of hours of research and calculations to transform the existing CNN approach. Beauty of research🤌
Next is VGG-16 paper!!!!
My college is showing off-campus placements in its new placement brochure. And that too all the good off campus offers received in history, not just last years'🤡🤡
The first assignment in masters and this is what I am greeted with.🙂 Hope to survive through the semester!
Anyways, speech processing is so so interesting. It's so fun analysing in the software and finding patterns🥹
General observations for first week in IIT:
• I feel people here are more reserved. The friends group is smaller and not many are into casual talks
• The people here aren't much into research (for my branch atleast). Couldn't find anyone to discuss potential research areas with
Damn deep learning is pure MATHEMATICS. There's nothing like nodes, layers, neurons. We are just playing out with numbers, functions and calculus. Just got the intuition of WHY & HOW.
gonna pass out🫠
Read somewhere
“Don't let a single failure stop you...
Fail multiple times, lose all hope, accept that you are not good enough and then stop”
Can't decide if this is a motivation or demotivation🙂
I asked a professor for reference letter to apply to a scholarship and it has been over 2 weeks and he still haven't provided one. And tomorrow is the last date😑
Just talked to a junior who's planning to quit GATE prep coz she isn't scoring good in mocks.
wtf. Tests are to identify your weak areas, not to predict the actual marks you're gonna get in exam.
It's that time of the year when majority of aspirants will QUIT. Just you don't do!
Guys,i didn't expect this post to blow up😭 It was just random. ofc I am not accepting the offer.
1. doesn't seem worth it
2. don't have time for this.
Applied for exp of giving interviews for ai roles but well, wo bhi nahi mila:)
Thanks for sharing your stories in the comments
Thrilled to share I got internship offer from Exposys Data Labs🥳 Grateful to receive such and esteemed opportunity. Looking forward to great learning ahead🤡 Ps- They are repeatedly extending the deadline for me🥹. can't ignore this further
(Should I start fundraising campaign?)
🚨CONFUSION
Got offers from IITG and IITKgp for MTech CSE. Confused which one to choose now 🥺
while i expected IITG, IITKgp came as a surprise, haven't researched enough about it.
Please compare and share opinions🥺
Topics covered today
Maths- Dilworth and Mirsky theorem
SP - Cepstral coefficient
DL- Regularization and Normalisation
Algorithms- Huffman Coding, Dijkstra
And yes, I've some progress on DL model I was working on. Will share tomorrow:')
Hope there's no surprise test tomorow🥲
I'm having a hard time transitioning from sir/ma'am system to bhaiya-di system lol. Some seniors here even asked me to call them by their names. This is how bonds form over!
Lately feeling like my life is so perfect. I'm even starting to wonder if I accidentally drank some Felix Felicis. Things are way too smooth for me. Grateful. Enjoying this glitch until some drama randomly pops up and shatters me🙂
A fun fact - my first 3 scores in mock tests were 29, 37 and 33. The last 3 scores in mocks were 82, 76, 79
and I gave all the tests after completing the entire syllabus.
Just DON'T QUIT. NEVER EVER.
The 2024 Nobel Prize winner Geoffrey Hinton regrets his life's work in AI which earned him the prize.
isn't there a subtle pattern here- between him and Oppenheimer?

For all those looking for a fiction book to read, I highly recommend 'White Nights' by Dostoevesky. Quite thought provoking and it really makes u contemplate some deep stuffs.
Ps - may give you existential crisis
Gem 💯
@hindookissinger
its iitgn bro. wish IITG could do that :'(
After reading IITG in ur post, I was like ye konsa hostel hai Jo kisi student ko allot hi nahi hua😂
That moment when u write a 400 line code in a single go and after compiling, the code...
...
...
...
it actually runs and gives the desired output.
Damn the satisfaction😌🤌
Some of my batchmates in my bachelor's have become hyper active on YouTube, insta, linkedin posting vlogs, random conventional gyan. It feels so cringe🤡
I wonder what suddenly happened to them after the cllg ended😂
Ok. so here's my intern interview exp in Texas
First 5 mins(was nervous as hell 🥲)
Firstly, was asked to tell smth about myself. I gave my intro. I told playing chess as my hobby so they asked my ratings and all. Then they opened my resume and asked me to explain my project.
What are things we can learn apart from academics and DSA? Purely for fun.
I got one today - solving Olympiad questions for fun (inspiration
@cneuralnetwork
ofc).
What are some other things u all are doing? I strongly need to be productive :)
Let's ROCK it
Cllg last semester result declared.
9.5 c.g.p.a.
Shayad Maine academics mein hardwork Kiya tha but mujhe pata nhi tha😂
BTech avg is shooted up
Finally I'm an ENGINEER 😎
Man, just got to know from a friend that there's a company out there offering 1cr base that too in India (it recruits SDE2 though). Totally insane🫠
Tech world indeed has no limits☠️
Got no offer from COAP round 5 as well🙂
It hurts seeing people with around 600-700 rank getting offers from top 5 IITs while I struggle to even get IITG🙂
Reservation sucks!
I answered all the questions and knew my interview was good. I asked some questions related to his experience in SRIB. Overall, it was great interview for me.
lastly, I ended with the most badass line - 'See you in Bangalore then'... And he laughed😂
Verdict - Got the offer :)
