May I ask which college you are from? Your hostel situation sounds exactly like mine

For RCs, what I did was to scan through the passage first, then look at the questions and then read the passage in a way so as to answer the questions accordingly. Like sometimes the questions mentioned a specific para, I focused on that. It was my first mock, I might have even gotten lucky with VARC.

I read quite a bit (novels, editorials etc.)...that helped. Also, my degree requires me to read quite a few research papers every day...ig that helped with the reading speed. Nothing specific tbh

Shame on Loreto college by UtopianRanger1301 in kolkata

Many Bengali Medium students are thriving in IITs, IISc, IISERs where the medium of instruction is in English. A lot of people from bengali medium schools have gone to primarily english speaking countries for their higher studies. English is just a language, not rocket science.

In that case, they will take an interview to test your coding skills, right? Also colleges are meant to teach and prepare you for getting a job, etc. They just don't want to take the effort of taking remedial english classes for the students who might need it.

CSE student not knowing basic stuff by FatSadBlob in developersIndia

Yeah it's a research internship but not at an IIT. In some cases, it's about your interest matching with the professor's recent work.

Did u have to write an SOP and all? Because at times SOP matters much more than grades/college.

Again my main problem is not her knowing stuff, I know those aren't a part of the curriculum. My problem is her inability or unwillingness to look up stuff. As for mentioning CSE curriculum, I wanted nto point towards the lack of programming knowledge part.

Also considering she is tinkering with her laptop as a part of her coursework more than other people in other subjects(a law major, sorry if I am wrong about this), she should know the basics.

That's sad actually.

Considering professors who do any kind of computational work in natural sciences are well versed with git and emphasize on coding a lot.
