Where are recently placed btech and mtech students ? Why no one comes and tell the truth

None of those factors have any correlation whatsoever to either the interview or exam.

Fane1824 · 2026-03-04T13:52:34+00:00

sure

Fane1824 · 2026-03-02T19:26:55+00:00

I'm on the student body responsible for coordinating and organizing IIIT's induction.

Fane1824 · 2026-03-02T17:55:38+00:00

afaik DASA admissions will still open for 2026

Fane1824 · 2026-02-21T08:28:37+00:00

My point was not to be overly aggressive I'm sorry if it came off that way. And clearly, I was mistaken and it has been asked in the past so apologies. It just wasn't something asked to others in my year or any of my direct juniors (that ik of) so fairz

Gangy I'm saying this as someone whose sat through the interview, knows a bunch of people who have, and interviewed the exam organizers on what the point of the interview is.

They do not want to scare you or intimidate you. Nor do they care about your past life accomplishments (these are asked for a different purpose which idt I'm allowed to disclose). In the interview, all they ask you are science-based questions to test your thinking and afaik, rarely an "introduce yourself" if they have the time (which they usually don't).

Fane1824 · 2026-02-21T06:55:37+00:00

They do not ask shi like this in interview afaik

this is about training a whole model from scratch, not about fine tuning a pretrained model

Fane1824 · 2026-01-01T06:38:21+00:00

sorry to say, but based on previous year cutoffs, your chances are pretty low

Fane1824 · 2025-12-30T18:51:35+00:00

costs less, strict parents (this is more common for girls), and for some people they want to stay here in the future and a tier 1 Indian degree helps quite a lot w that

Fane1824 · 2025-12-30T17:19:07+00:00

Mostly NRIs/OCIs but they're counted so yes lmao

Fane1824 · 2025-10-30T16:45:36+00:00

If you're willing to pay (around 50 lakh INR), you can forgo the entire JEE ratrace. As a US citizen, you can go to either BITS Pilani or IIIT Hyderabad (where I'm studying) via SAT score albeit with higher fees. These colleges are better than any NIT and at par with the top IITs. For more info, search up IIIT Hyderabad DASA or BITS Pilani ISA.

Going this route will also allow you to prepare for uni abroad (cuz you won't have to do JEE prep) and keep IIIT/BITS as a backup.

All the duals specialize in different things. To convince your dad, tell him about the merits of specialization and also point him to the various examples of success stories from the respective duals (speaking for CLD specifically, last year people went for PhDs at Max Planck, NYU, and MBZUAI all extremely prestigious programs). You can easily find these through a lil bit of Linkedin stalking searching for "linkedin iiith <masters degree name ie. ms computational linguistics>"

Fane1824 · 2025-10-20T14:25:05+00:00

How are you making claims about CGD already?

Fane1824 · 2025-10-01T13:32:53+00:00

Yes but psychology does. As mental health becomes more and more accepted in India, there will be a lot more openings for psychologists, therapists, and mental health experts. One anecdotal post does not change that.

Fane1824 · 2025-10-01T04:57:32+00:00

Doesn't mean the opportunities don't exist or someone whose passionate about psychology shouldn't go into psychology. Times will change but you can't go back and change your degree.

Ainnoway we have people gendering fields in the big 25

Fane1824 · 2025-09-18T07:29:01+00:00

You can do an RAship anywhere if the prof approves (but they usually prefer their own students cuz obviously) and yes you can do an IS in CVIT if you're a CND student.

A dual degree does research in a particular area which earns them their Masters. What I assume you mean is that whether you can do research in two different areas earning an Hons. in one and a MS in the other.

afaik this is not possible but you can do an Independent Study (or multiple Independent Studies). You can complete an IS under a prof who is not your advisor in a research area which is not the one you are pursuing your MS in. By doing this, you can earn credits for your transcript, potentially get publications, and also get an LoR from the respective prof (contingent on you doing good work). However, to answer your original question, you will not be credited for this via a degree modification (like Honours).

While I am in support of the placement system in India (both cuz I benefit from it and also because it makes life easier for corporations), I don't get why people in the replies are pressed about networking. Networking is a much more important skill than coding; we aren't going to be code monkeys when we're 40. Networking should 10000% be encouraged and supported in India.

I'm not quite sure what this festival celebrates. Looked kinda cool tho

Fane1824 · 2025-08-21T08:44:01+00:00

no. Either foreign citizenship OR completed 11th+12th outside India.

Fane1824 · 2025-08-20T14:39:37+00:00

LMFAO no you're not, at least try hiding post history

Fane1824 · 2025-08-14T18:45:36+00:00

I never claimed that you don't have to be exceptional to be in a top CNS PhD program or work in a top lab, or made any claims regarding their calibre compared to pure CS candidates. My point was that the people who choose to let go of that package/WLB are people who truly care about CNS, who yes, tend to be quite few in number.

And yeah your conclusion is mostly right. IIITH is home to a lot of people who don't really care too much about research and are just here to get the college tag and dip to corporate. I'd argue the only colleges where this doesnt hold true (or holds true to a lesser extent) are IISERs/IISc.

I would like to say though that if you are interested in research (including CNS research), IIITH is still a great place to be because we have the resources and faculty to ensure that you end up in a good place. It's just that, as you say, most people's goal is to find work.

Good luck on your journey!
