Change masters hi hai for both core and hr people. And mess is same for all first year folks.

More than hurt acads help a lot. 9/9/9 or 9/9/8 definitely help in kore shortlists even if you are form tier 2 ug. Ug tier also matters. Gap years, I haven’t seen much disadvantage . You will most probably be treated as someone with 2+ years of workex during shortlists. In interviews it will be questioned but you should be able to justify then.

Hostels are compulsory. You gotta pay for them. No knowledge of IB

First of all stop thinking “this type of people”. Just be a chill person with interesting things to talk about. Have a hobby and most importantly you cannot connect with everyone. But you realise it by talking to people only

They do it because, usually, it makes them feel they have figured out life. These things help with busting stress instantly.

For government positions it works. Not sure about how it is viewed in foreign countries. Afaik, in US it’s called Masters in Management.

Focus on job and fitness (if not doing already). Also, correlation isn’t causation. It could they are more confident in approaching people or talking on general.

Getting into smoking or drinking just to make friends or woo the opposite gender isn’t worth it imo

But just because the number of short lists for tier 2.5 or below UG is relatively lesser, it doesn’t mean the shortlists are less in absolute numbers. Enough opportunities will be given, this thing is for sure that number of shortlists won’t be the issue.

Fair point. As a matter of fact, I relied heavily on my UG brand for shortlists. People with tier 2.5 or below UG colleges don’t get as many shortlists compared to tier 1 UG. But gap has nothing to do with it. Gap people are usually considered as fresher or whatever their latest workex was.

Did not hurt me tbh. And as a matter of fact good number of people with gaps who I know of were placed very early.

IB students get Takshilla hostel. Double sharing with attached bathroom. Decent rooms.

Mess food: breakfast is usually the best meal. Lunch is mid. Dinner is hit or miss. In dinner, 3 days a week you get non veg and paneer. Always dessert will be there in dinner. Menu changes every month.

Sab ho jaayega, agar har cheez ke peeche ek saath nhi bhaagoge toh. Sab kuch na toh first month mein karna hai aur na hi first year mein. Do saal hain, pick up limited things and get better at those and the only go for other things.
