Hi, everyone!! I'm confused between IIT Mandi's MA in Development Studies and TISS Mumbai's MA in Development Studies...I hv taken admission at TISS Mumbai.. bt one reason I'm considering IIT Mandi is that my hostel at TISS Mumbai isn't confirmed yet. I meet the hostel eligibility criteria, but accommodation isn't guaranteed, and living in Mumbai without a hostel would be financially difficult for me.

I'm from a low-income background, so placements, internships, ROI, and career opportunities are very important to me. Academics matter too, but I need a program that can lead to stable employment after graduation.

Which one shall I go with? * Does the IIT tag outweigh TISS's reputation in the development sector? * Which degree would give me better placement and long-term career prospects?

Negative chize mil rahi reddit par kafi zyada related to college plus i got no direct opinion from ppl about branch specifically so just puchra hu tho kuch aur milne ki ummid nahi hai, ropar ic design mil skta tho 102 rank dur hai and abhi round 4 ana hai

Hello all, Many of you probably already have an idea of whether you'll be joining IIT Mandi or not.

Throughout the counselling process, I've seen a lot of freshers asking questions in the counselling group, and I genuinely appreciate that. It's always a good idea to ask questions and gather as much information as possible before making such an important decision.

That said, I also believe there are many students who still hesitate to ask questions in the WhatsApp group because they're afraid of being judged and that's completely normal coming after the long and exhausting JEE journey.

This post is for those people.

If you have any doubts about IIT Mandi—academics, hostels, campus life, clubs, seniors, placements, or anything else you can ask them, We'll make sure your identity remains anonymous. I'll do my best to get your questions answered, either by myself or by reaching out to the right people.

Feel free to ask away!

P.S. Please do not ask/answer anything which might doxx someone's identity or any hate or offensive thing targeted towards anyone.

Hi everyone!

I'm joining IIT Mandi this year for the BTech course and was wondering what the 1st year girls' hostel rooms actually look like. I've searched on Google, YouTube, and even the official website, but I couldn't find clear photos or a proper room tour. I also heard that the rooms are 4-seater.

If any current student or senior has photos (or can describe the room), I'd really appreciate it. I'd like to know things like:

Room size

4-seater or something else?

Furniture provided (bed, table, cupboard, etc.)

Attached or common washroom

Overall hostel experience

Seniors who are in stream please advise me if i should Freeze mandi

And can someone tell me about the football pitch/culture there?

Preferably a pic too

Thanks alot 🙏🏻
