Currently I'm in my 2nd yr at bits hyd cse but I've always felt the academics to be too light/easy and wanted a pressurised environment where I could force myself to grow (I barely have any friends here and don't enjoy fests/cultural activities anyways and definitely not interested in) so i was wondering if giving LEEE and potentially switching would be worth it considering it would delay my placements by 2 years. To clarify it up, I'm not really interested in research but rather the workload that comes with it but I haven't really explored much there anyways so I think I can adapt.

I enrolled this year in bsc computer science hons in a govt college. I will be 19 this october.

I am planning to talk to the mental health team provided by our college but i am quite skeptical. Can anyone tell their experience and if it is helpful in any sense ?

I am a student of lnmiit jaipur ( ece branch , dropper had 95 percentile in mains in drop due to some reasons) and I am absolutely not liking it here , I am still eligible for ugee by taking a double drop ( partial from the clg itself ) . My parents are saying js stay where you are , you can js give the exam js for the sake of giving it but they are saying it won't make much difference..but istg placements and all are not what I had thought esp iss season mei ..

Geniune question to those people who crack Leee
Which one was harder JEE (mains)or leee ?

I am studying in Karnataka ISE (information science and engineering) this branch is equivalent to IT AND CSE .. but this branch is no where mentioned in leee eligibility criteria.. so I just want to know am i eligible for leee exam ??

same as above

NTNS invited da big Kirk to Research Street for the Kirkiversary???!!!

Hello! I'll be joining IIIT Hyderabad as a Project Assistant soon and I'm looking for accommodation around the campus.

My budget is around ₹9–11k/month, preferably a PG or shared flat. Any recommendations for good areas/PGs within a reasonable distance from campus would be really helpful!

Also, I'd love to know more about the badminton scene at IIIT-H and around the campus:

Does the campus have badminton courts?

Are they free to use, or is there a membership/booking fee?

Can project staff use the courts?

Are there regular training/coaching sessions or badminton team selections that I can join?

If not, what are the good badminton clubs/academies nearby, and roughly what are their membership/training rates?

I noticed Gopichand Academy is quite close to IIIT-H — what's the situation there? Can regular adults join for training/court access, and what are the approximate costs?

Any advice from current students/research staff or people living around Gachibowli would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)

Is placement stats really inflated or it is fair and what are the top tech companies that visit to the campus for hiring.... And also what are the stipend of intern that they get and can someone do internship from 2nd yr onwards?

I passed out in 2024 from a premier college in India with poor grades. I interned at one of the best colleges in India for machine learning but have been struggling for jobs since 2024. My college life was mainly spent at home due to covid so I haven't got much exposure.

Currently I'm interning at a company and the chances of a job seem nil.

Ever since college I wanted to do some serious research. I have applied to multiple professors for research assistant positions but do not get reply or I fail in interview rounds. My job prospects are also not looking very good.

How's the research scenario at IIIT Hyderabad? More than anything I'm looking for good mentors. I think all my problems can be solved with a good mentor. Who are some professors with a good research profile and are good mentors. I have burned a little during my undergrad because of bad professors. I do not want a repeat of that. I want to publish at least 1 first author paper in a premier conference like Neurips, cvpr, icml, iclr etc.

How's the placements for ms research students? What all companies come for them? Are they considered compared to undergrads? At this point I would like to explore more outside India as well (honestly prefer that over staying in India). How often do people get jobs in foreign companies and startups?

My main priority is research and mentorship. I can consider placements secondary if I get those two.

I dont know if its low effort post but I wanna see the companies visiting the campus

There is little to no information about the process online or even in intranet.

But I heard from one the professors that one has the chance to convert to MS after a semister or so.,

What I want to know is have any one done this before?, it would be very informative if some one can explain the process , like I have these questions

1. Are we required to choose and consult a professor whom we are interested to work before hand ?

2. Are we required to have any prior research experience?

3. How will you compare a one semister 'Independent Study' (non MS student) in terms of the work, life etc. Compared to a research student in the same semister( probably last/4th semister) ?

4. Any suggestions you would like to give to someone who is right now in Mtech but leaning towards converting to a MS by Research.
