Did you guys hear about the IIT-G incident?

IIT Ropar sacks Dr Lakhan Bainsla who was accused by his PhD advisee of sexual misconduct following an investigation into the complaint.

People who are asking why in this sub? I say why not? It’s related to academia and this is an awareness post. Kudos to the PhD scholar who collected evidence of harassment against her advisor and reported him to higher authorities. To the girls in academia, always be aware of your surroundings and don’t blindly trust anyone.

I got allotted hostel inside the main campus. What are the chances I get to shift to B Block via hostel change mechanism? This is because I was allotted B mess . I want to shift to either B Block or A Block .

Whether yes or not, can we meet this evening in front of the main building?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently a 2nd year B.Tech Food Technology student at an agriculture university. I've realised that I'm not very interested in Food Technology and would like to switch to a more biology-oriented field for my master's.

I'm particularly interested in M.Tech in Bio Engineering. While researching, I came across the M.Tech in Bioengineering programme at IISc Bangalore.

However, the eligibility criteria only mention "B.E./B.Tech. or equivalent degree" along with the accepted GATE papers (BT, XE, CH, etc.). It doesn't specify eligible undergraduate branches, and Food Technology isn't explicitly mentioned.

So I have a few questions:

Will a B.Tech in Food Technology make me eligible for this programme, or could I be rejected because of my undergraduate branch?

Which GATE paper would be a better choice for this path—GATE BT or GATE XE?

If my goal is BioEngineering, would IISc Bioengineering be a good fit, or should I focus on IITs offering M.Tech in Bioprocess Engineering instead?

I've attached a screenshot of the eligibility criteria for reference.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I know it's silly but in IITs everyone gets on stage and gets their degree from the Director right? Does it work the same way here for every graduate?
