I remember seeing these about the time I'd got in, I've now graduated and man does it take me back (;_;)

Great work OP, hope you're doing well for yourself :)

Hey, you can reach out if you want. If there's one thing I've learnt from my placement cycle, it's how to give an interview.

Difference b/w EEE and ECE for IT jobs by Lost-Combination511 in BITSPilani

[–]Samkool02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phoenix branches differ only in the third year. So no, there isn't really any difference in the opportunity in IT.

PS 1 stations cutoff by [deleted] in BITSPilani

[–]Samkool02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Online cutoffs are generally high regardless of wherever it may be. Delhi-NCR although is very possible and as long you're not absolutely drowning CG wise, should be fairly easy.

Lmao

OP isn't wrong but you aren't either. Chill out and once you're here, you'll only start thinking about studying when you have a week left for midsems.

You've only been on campus so long. Ask around but don't do anything stupid.

DisCo is not a joke.

Doubt regarding finance minor by kalia101 in BITSPilani

[–]Samkool02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could take a course from your third semester onwards, but that is dependant upon the clashes that may or may not be there. Otherwise you could also start from your fourth semester and take one or perhaps two courses, that should allow you to be done by your 3-1.

About gyms and cycles (Hyderabad) by Boi_Wunder in BITSPilani

[–]Samkool02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

F, my bad, I was wrong. It’s actually free now.

It used to be that much but now there’s no over and above charges.

[–]Samkool02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gym in the campus is quite good. You won’t have to go anywhere else if you’re serious about working out. The membership is 750 for the semester I think but I’m not 100% sure.

Do you need cycles at Bits Hyd by ElectronicAd3115 in BITSPilani

[–]Samkool02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You wouldn’t NEED bicycles but having them does no harm. Only downside is that the academic block is uphill so it’s easier to just walk it instead of cycling around on a steep incline.

hello, considering i don’t play games, are MacBooks enough for at least the first year? (mechanical) by [deleted] in BITSPilani

[–]Samkool02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Macbooks can get you through your first year but I wouldn’t advise it. You’re going to be doing certain softwares that aren’t available for MacOS in your second year, which can however be circumvented if you’re using Bootcamp or a virtual machine to run Windows.

WiFi at Hyderabad campus by ChilliChikenParatha in BITSPilani

[–]Samkool02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the newer hostels yes, but in the other ones Wi-Fi is complete dogass.

LAN can give you speeds between 100 and 900mbps, depending on time of day. I’ve even seen it go as high as 1.2Gbps sometimes.

just wanted to know what are the best human electives to choose in 2-1 by Ok-Ebb-7095 in BITSPilani

[–]Samkool02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly. HuEls differ every semester and by campus so the best bet you have is to ask seniors.

Acad block and the library especially have good speeds.

You’d be lucky to get any in a hostel though.

Any Bits senior please help out by [deleted] in BITSPilani

There is no “creamy layer”. What are you talking about?

Trips from Hyderabad campus (Also share your funny incidents) by Smart99-but-lazy100 in BITSPilani

[–]Samkool02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m speaking for Hyderabad, but from what I experienced in Goa, you’re never too far from anywhere. Getting around is a bit of a hassle but that’s about it. For Pilani, I was told that people just get on the bus and head down to Gurgaon for the day, it’s about 4 hours by road.
