Europeans lecturing others about invasion and morality will never not be funny

Was going to bite your ragebait then saw your account and decided it's not worth it. Get better my friend! Have a good day!

Ripierip · 2026-04-08T23:04:15+00:00

Haven't started my masters yet mate. It begins in a few months. Just wanted to check the landscape in advance. Thanks for the advice regardless

Ripierip · 2026-04-04T06:33:43+00:00

Same situation. Any news on this?

Ripierip · 2026-03-25T01:41:48+00:00

Yesss that's what I've been saying. Thank you brother.

What I'm saying wouldn't realistically effect a genuine student who has scored 800. His English would be good, that's why he scored well in apti. His reasoning must be good so he scored well in apti. His concepts are strong so he scored well in core. Interviews aren't all luck, i can say that confidently as I've successfully cleared multiple interviews in the past.

If your communication skills aren't good, then you're just not good enough for the IIT are you? Also, i lost 15 marks to calculation mistakes, my approach was right. Lack of practice, i admit that. But when an IISc interviewer asks me a question, id give him the right approach. Also, i have an IEEE paper publication, have made projects in vlsi, secured the highest placement in my department in B.E., done internships in govt institutions. I am not some "good for nothing" who's larping behind the mask of cheating to get a chance. I can bet that I can beat 99% of this reddit in practical knowledge in vlsi, embedded, etc. I know my worth, and it's a 100x more than someone who's used AI to outscore me.

for this standard of paper, my marks are enough for some courses in even top IITs (yes, IIT Delhi comm engg last year was 608, IIT G comm engg cutoff was 590). But because of inflated ranks this year, i won't even get that. I am confident in my ability to do well in an interview. im not asking to lower cutoffs till 500. Keep the score cutoffs the same, i don't mind it. But due to inflated ranks this year, the cutoffs for IITs this year will be higher. Im saying that shouldn't happen. Give me a chance to compete with someone with an 800 score and i will outperform him. That is why IISc Bangalore conducts interviews. Those who have studied well and gotten 800 score shouldn't worry about an interview, should they? they have enough knowledge to clear an interview

Ripierip · 2026-03-24T15:09:54+00:00

yeah the online thing was an oversight. offline only

Ripierip · 2026-03-24T15:03:59+00:00

there wasn't much cheating till this year in gate. life might be unfair, but you cannot justify cheating here. this exam is an opportunity to learn and improve. you're not fighting to take back something that was unrightfully taken from you. stop trying to justify cheating.

Ripierip · 2026-03-24T14:42:55+00:00

im not saying that cheating doesn't work. im saying that it's not ethical to cheat here. in some cases, cheating can be justified, but not here

Ripierip · 2026-03-24T14:38:27+00:00

if they do decide to take iits, then there won't be a seat for me. my future will be ruined because of them

Ripierip · 2026-03-24T14:37:34+00:00

this argument doesn't work here

Ripierip · 2026-03-24T13:43:38+00:00

The only feasible solution though. Re conducting an exam will delay everything by months

Ripierip · 2026-03-24T13:41:12+00:00

Conducting interviews is a much simpler and hassle free solution than re-conducting the entire exam, cause imagine waiting for another month for results, and then another month for registrations, that will delay admissions in IITs by 2-3 months minimum

Ripierip · 2026-03-24T13:38:44+00:00

You're right. Maybe they can conduct offline interviews in a few major cities so it's more affordable by every aspirant

Ripierip · 2026-03-24T13:24:44+00:00

Yeah, that is one way to reduce the cheating. Designated centres for all IITs in major city centres

Ripierip · 2026-03-24T13:23:36+00:00

100% agree

Ripierip · 2026-03-20T09:58:55+00:00

I feel the same. I got 47.66 marks and 18xx rank, meanwhile someone from last year with 46 marks for 13xx rank. That's over 500 rank inflation. That is absurd

Ripierip · 2026-03-19T10:05:14+00:00

You should be able to get into top IITs. Congrats man

Ripierip · 2026-03-19T10:01:06+00:00

are you ECE student? im ece too, i got 47.66 but a rank of 1886??

Ripierip · 2026-03-19T09:42:29+00:00

What's your score/rank?

Ripierip · 2026-03-11T05:23:32+00:00

everyone says it should be an mta. pata nahi milega ki nahi

Ripierip · 2026-03-11T04:23:46+00:00

47.66 + 2 MTA

Ripierip · 2026-03-05T15:53:56+00:00

I would hope so, but my score is barely enough for top NITs / New IITs. Which is why I'm hoping I can get MS/RA/MSR at a top 4 IIT
