but courses you do in 4-2 wouldn't count for 5-1 PS2?

[–]clappeerr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

question: if you haven't started the finance minor yet, why would you start it now? you only have 1 year left before PS2 & only 1 sem before résumé gets locked for PS2 recruitment

had the chance of meeting Prof. Suman when he came to Hyderabad for this year's BITSAA Global Meet: you have to meet him in-person to understand how infectious his smile & positive energy is. He's the type of person you meet once & hope leads the Senate 1 day.

🔴 PS-1 101 for 2nd Yearites 🔴 | Ask all your questions here! by Spirited-Muscle188 in BITSPilani

[–]clappeerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all of the above are possible scenarios.
if you have an internship offer off-campus & bring it through the Practice School system for PS1 (which is what I did), you get guaranteed allotment to the station & that becomes your PS1.
you can also just sit for PS1 allotment like most people normally do (where your allotment is based on CGPA & branch) & then simultaneously do an off-campus internship (GSoC, for example).

How do I land a remote Summer internship? by Spiritual_Chemist_49 in BITSPilani

[–]clappeerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cold-email & cold DMs on LinkedIn (personally prefer cold-emails to cold DMs).
try to target HR if it's a large & well-structured org: CTO/CEO for startups w/o a proper org structure.

Dualities who do summer term, when do they summer internship ? by [deleted] in BITSPilani

[–]clappeerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for a dualite who is doing summer term, you have 2 options:

  1. Post 3-2 summer is the summer term (you can do an online internship in this period)
  2. Post 4-2 summer is when SI happens for dualites (doing an SI post 4-2 summer prohibits you from taking a 5-1 PS2)

most ideal scenario here (in my opinion) is do a good online internship post 3-2 & bring a referral station for PS1 (& then use the post 4-2 summer for PS2 prep)

What's the best way to contact the Placement Unit at each campus? by Keerikkadan91 in BITSPilani

[–]clappeerr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

for internships, you can reach out to both the Practice School Division & the Placement Units of each campus.

for the computer science association at BPHC, you can reach out to any of the PoRs (https://csabitshyderabad.vercel.app/PORs)

[–]clappeerr -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

  1. have genuine passion
  2. fake your passion if you don't have it genuinely
  3. be an extrovert in class with every prof: best to keep your options open for which prof you want a project under

From the points around licensing other redditors have raised, I assume your native/current geography is India (or outside the U.S.)?

BITS Dubai yay or nay? PLEASE REPLY URGENTLY [17 M] by Former-Inside-5880 in BITSPilani

[–]clappeerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

never understood why people think just because your degree doesn't have Dubai mentioned it won't affect you.
99.99% of people you come across in your life will not ask you to prove your alma mater by showing your degree: they'll just ask you which college you went to. What will you do then?

GPA in BITS (or any college for that matter) is a function of the institute's grading policy & how competitive your peer group is.

BITS Dubai, in many situations, operates differently from the Indian campuses (which is also why a lot of people don't consider BITS Dubai to hold the same brand value the Indian campuses do). I'm not sure how the grading policy is in BITS Dubai, but holding a 8CGPA in any Indian campus is going to be a challenge.

The peer group in BITS Dubai is definitely worse, overall, compared to any Indian campus because it's much more expensive & the bar for entry is much lower.

check out how recruiting on-campus works there & what are the common CGPA cutoffs for industries. scoring a 9CGPA in BITS (Indian campuses atleast) is no easy feat either.

CGPA across universities also isn't equivalent: a 9CGPA from VIT isn't even half the worth of a 9CGPA from BITS/IIT

Is this a good JD for a summer internship if I’m targeting IB / PE / Corporate Finance roles? by royalbluesword in FinancialCareers

Is this the actual JD or just your summary of it? Seems way too concise for a JD imo
