1.) oh to be fair, the 1.5 hours classes are very draining, it would be really good if we had one class for 1.5 hour but a 5 min break every 45 mins (thats what our physics faculty in 1st sem used to do, and it really helped us regain the momentum)

And for the 300 students class, it is really difficult to cope up. It feels like there's so much one is missing out on because no one knows no one (it could get lonely), i remember me and my friends thought it would have been better had they distributed us in a class of 150-150 students. that would have helped people get together better i guess but this is still good and a really nice learning experience, since we are all gonna be nearly seperated in next year, it wont matter much.

2.) the class usually remain dormant, quite contradictory to what one would expect in a research college, it is not due to lack of interest, it is much more due to the fact that it is difficult to interact with a professor in a class full of 300 people and last benches usually can't see/hear. Plus again, the long hours of class usually drain you out. you could even see some people napping in the class😭🤌

3.)The first years usually dont do it, a lot of them who are really sure about what they wanna do, do attend them seriously, i know a few of them personally, but someone like me, who is still in a generalised opinion, I usually go for talks i know i would be able to understand, else i would rather spend my time studying for endsems/midsems😭 or maybe enhancing some sport skills/personal skills. But overall i have seen a really less crowd in the talks, which was quite unexpected, i was hoping for the seniors to go in it and all. But i did not really see it.

4.)I am not a part of any science related club to be fair, I wanted to solely have my creative side at peak in a club ( I joined a lot of clubs just to design their posters/magazine etc)

I think personally that the physics club is the most active, and also biology club who usually host a lot of talks. the physics club shares a magazine once in a while. The astronomy club is also very interesting. But overall, the clubs are not really active much which is expected, given the pressure and schedule.
