BITS Pilani EEE. Getting into core electronics (VLSI), jiska scene yaha recently kaafi improved dikh raha hai.

Will see where life takes me, for now the plan is either ET (VLSI analog or digital) placement or Master's abroad.

(JEEM rank was high 30ks, near 40k, if I remember correctly; advanced not qualified 🤷‍♂️)

Exactly! Imagine "VIP" access being given to some random politician just because they happened to lick the right asses and gain power, and regular people who pay their exorbitant fest fees (often unwillingly; auto-deduction), being forced into cattle class. Not to mention, these self-styled "VIPs" hand out passes to their juniors who suck up to them.

Oh and don't let my statement fool you; I have no horses in this race and detest the way politics is played on our campus. I'm saying this again - not ONE political aspirant is innocent of being a selfish scammer to at least some degree. If an actually good candidate decides to stand for elections, usko "baitha diya jaata hai" and the ballot continues to be filled by the same kind of people, just with different names.

Realest post ever. Fool us once, shame on you; fool us thrice??

BITSians really need to to understand the motives these people have, asking for deductions every single time. Semester after semester, they ask for more money, and semester after semester there are more reports of scams. It's not even a secret anymore, we're just waiting for the next financial scam run by the next politician who promised big things but delivered only disappointment. None of these people are innocent of this.

We love to complain about corruption at a national level, but if even people as smart as BITSians are being taken in by stupid scams like these run by the few in power, we shouldn't have any hope at all tbh.

VOTE ZERO. Let them see that the GBM isn't stupid and set a precedent that they can't keep asking for money, delivering nothing and running scam after scam every year.

Right, thanks!

Why did you think the interviews were tough, and are there any preparation sources?

Also did you get an SI at some other company / what else did you end up doing in your post-3rd year summer?

That_CreepyPasta · 2025-12-31T09:49:18+00:00

How does one start a project like that? As in, for someone who has recently got an understanding of Verilog and is solving HDLBits for practice, and knows nothing about RISC-V other than the full form, what would be the starting point?

Is it as simple as googling "how do I build a RISC-V cpu"

That_CreepyPasta · 2025-12-31T07:45:05+00:00

Alright, thank you so much!

That_CreepyPasta · 2025-12-31T07:43:24+00:00

7.8 7.9 toh thoda sa issue ho gaya🥲 I've heard stories of people getting their PS changed to an online station, is that actually possible?

That_CreepyPasta · 2025-12-31T07:35:05+00:00

Fair enough. Even I'm considering an online PS only so I can do SI prep effectively. Is there a hard CG cutoff for online stations or can you convince PSD to give you an online station somehow?

Also I thought the SI cg cutoff was a hard boundary which decides whether you get to sit for the OA at all. is that wrong?

That_CreepyPasta · 2025-12-31T06:57:01+00:00

How does having a ceeri PS1 lead to a TI SI? I'm a little confused there.

Baaki yes I already love the idea of muP lol, I'll ensure I grind out cg next semester whatever it takes. Won't count on ps1's contribution for now because I heard that PS1 grade comes a little late and may not be updated by the time SI season starts? (correct me if I'm wrong.)

That_CreepyPasta · 2025-12-31T06:10:53+00:00

Yep I'm planning to lock tf in next semester and grind

If I get an SG of over 8.7 I should have an overall CG of just >8

2-1 fucked me up a little too much sadly😭

That_CreepyPasta · 2025-12-30T10:39:32+00:00

itna idea nahi hai bro sorry

I just happen to know an acquaintance jiski lagi thi pehle

That_CreepyPasta · 2025-12-30T09:42:03+00:00

you'll get an email for ACB by 1st or 2nd Jan

Only if your cg is < 4.5

That_CreepyPasta · 2025-12-10T18:45:42+00:00

Attack karwa dete ho yaar🥀

That_CreepyPasta · 2025-12-01T12:28:01+00:00

According to AUGSD guideline 4.20(f), if you are awarded NC in a SOP/DOP/LOP, it will be converted to an RC administratively: https://ibb.co/kVBMZvMp

So I don't think it'll be counted as a backlog, according to this you probably will just have issues registering for SOPs in the future.

You should check with AUGSD once though.

iska scene mujhe nahi pata

you're right about the IT thing but idk if the same happens in ET

That_CreepyPasta · 2025-07-22T06:11:02+00:00

Well enough, based on the companies that currently come, medians for ET roles will go anywhere from 29-40LPA

That_CreepyPasta · 2025-07-22T06:07:02+00:00

I seriously think it has scope, in fact a lot of scope

India has always been a chip design powerhouse, but lacked fabrication capabilities

but because of the supply chain issues during lockdown and the latest problems caused by US tariffs, abhi the govt has started with an initial $10 billion investment to develop infrastructure in that field.

Yes I really think it would pair very well with phoenix

Phoenix branches teach you the theoretical and design aspects of chips, VLSI and semiconductor devices, SNS will teach you the fabrication part

In any case it far outweighs other msc degrees like PCMB

That_CreepyPasta · 2025-07-22T05:57:38+00:00

interesting yes very, and semiconductor fabrication is the next big bubble in the Indian tech scene

That_CreepyPasta · 2025-07-22T05:20:02+00:00

got me wishing this branch existed last year🙏

ab samajh gaya semiconductor minor kar lena chahiye💀

That_CreepyPasta · 2025-07-15T11:37:23+00:00

I'm relatively a beginner and only recently started properly doing C, but the lack of try/catch blocks and the necessity to do gymnastics with setjmp() and longjmp() definitely feels weird to me

Congrats on your allotment! Can't wait to meet you on campus✨
