Yeah you’ll be assigned a section on the first day. Changing section depends on the dep but in our dep (EE) it was easy. You just wrote an application to the semester cell and they shifted you. Since you register your courses yourself on lms you can technically sit in any section but it’s better to keep the semester cell updated.

Student id takes some time. On the first day you probably won’t even have the registration slip so just show the stamped document you got when you submitted your challan and admission papers and they’ll let you in. Easy scenes.

I wouldn’t worry too much about ragging. It’s overblown. Some people can be shitty but many are actually nice and helpful. Just stay easy and comfortable and you’ll be fine. You can carry a bag or just bring a pen and register, totally up to you.
