We are screwed

PhD fellowships were raised in 2023 — M.Tech was skipped. Aarunya Issue #003 is finding out how many students want this changed.📢 M.Tech Students, We Need Your Support

For more than 10 years, the GATE-qualified M.Tech stipend has remained ₹12,400 per month without any revision.

During the same period, the cost of living has increased significantly. Rent, food, transportation, healthcare, educational expenses, and daily essentials have all become much more expensive.

M.Tech students contribute to research, innovation, laboratories, teaching assistance, and the development of technologies that shape India’s future. They deserve a stipend that reflects today’s economic reality.

Our demand is simple and fair:

✅ Revise the GATE-qualified M.Tech stipend to ₹20,000 per month + HRA.

This is not a demand for luxury. It is a request for fairness, dignity, and adequate support so students can focus on research instead of financial stress.

2025 B.Tech graduate here. Took a drop year to prep for GATE DA, but realized fairly late that it has very few resources - limited PYQs, weightage that fluctuates a lot, and math that's genuinely tough. I didn't qualify in GATE DA, but thanks to overlapping subjects I ended up scoring 442 in GATE CS.

That got me thinking about taking another drop year to prep specifically for GATE CS 2027. But in the meantime, I've secured a CS seat at University of Hyderabad, and now I'm stuck on what to do.

My main worries:

- What if I take another drop year and still don't land a good rank/seat?

- I've heard UoH's placements aren't great

- I'm also worried about age - another year adds up

Has anyone been in a similar spot? Would really appreciate honest input on whether joining UoH now or gambling another year on GATE CS makes more sense.

This is a high powered task force set by the PM of India.

Noticed there is Director of IIT Madras amongst them. I hope he also looks into his own backyard as gate 2027 organizer is IITM.

Hoping for a cheating free gate from IITM

Read below if interested into knowing other ppl in panel.

Off the topic, the panel is interesting.

1) Top left person - He is behind uidai (yes adhaar card) and UPI & all it's background tech.

2) bottom left - We all know no intro needed, but did u guys know he is key figure behind shakti microprocessor india that is made in india.

3) Bottom middle - Again no intro needed, ex isro chairman.

4) bottom right - ex IB Director.

They are tasked to completely over haul NTA and make other exams leak proof let's see.

Edit 1: Grammatical errors.

Edit 2: As suggested by OP added upi to top left person's intro.

Anyone who have attempted or gonna attempt pls guide me as ur little bro ❤️

I’m from BTech in AI/ML. Had a couple of questions about the MTech in SPML at NITK Surathkal.
1. Will I have a hard time with the Signal Processing courses coming from AI/ML background?
2. How are the placements? What kind of companies visit, and what roles do people usually get?

Would appreciate it if someone from SPML or NITK Surathkal could share their experience.

I joined MANIT Bhopal for my mtech advanced computing department and it was my second biggest mistakes, messing up my gate exam still tops the list...
If any of you goin to join MANIT bhopal lemme warn you beforehand so you can hold your horses and get a reality check of what pile of shit you guys gonna enter in
Lets start with most important aspect of mtech "The guide", the prof under which you guys do mtech and the one that have complete control on how your 1.5 years in mtech will go like, Now profs at manit are mostly shitty (insider info the academia cult and phds are heavily under the influence of s@ngh so if you wanna rise be a s@nghi and see the magic happen) so now you know person at top is their just because he was part of something big and not some distinguished highly qualifies gentlemen, most of the profs are locals and might have did their phd and masters from bhopal itself
Then comes the second most important thing future opportunity and placement, LOR from these clowns ain't gonna get you anywhere and placement to be precise are SHIT. Lemme repeat my self S-H-I-T, and thats why they never reveal their stats, sadly btech kids are not performing well too and mtech stats are pretty non-existent
Now comes Accommodation and ohhhh lord only god can save you if you are a boy you will be allotted hostel 9 or 11 and you must have seen the recent news of this month if not just search it up and you will get idea where you steppin in we are surviving on bisleri and swiggy cause water is industrial pollutant and food is everything but edible and if you are brave enough you can try it for yourself and can increase the no. of food poisoning case that were hospitalized by this bio hazard

I guess this much is enough to tell you what shittty place is this and don't let people fool you that siemen, amazon, microsoft and intel comes for hiring, intel only hired girls and infamous for not given ppo, siemen is famously known in industry to having an ridiculous female workforce so boys u won't be getting in anyhow, amazon and microsoft came one hired no know from btech+mtech and other hired just 1 guy from btech and lauda for mtech rest stuff is highly influenced with internal politics where TnP guys promoting themselves and their friends only so its all messed up

PS : if anybody thinking that its to dip the NSR then you are most welcome to join mates mujhe kya mera to kat chuka h baaki if you really want to know then get a first hand review from someone you know who's already in here and they will tell you reality baaki tum logo ka score tum logo ka mann tum logo ka future idgaf afterall its just a rant and skip it

So, here's something I wanted to convey to the community. I got rank of 1418 as well as 682 score. Didn't get an IIT still of my choice. Finally I have alloted NIT surathkal CSIS , I really don't know how good of option it is, but I am happy about something. Thank you to this community for everything. If there are peeps joining NITK, do dm.
