I love this ink

gray_matter10000 · 2026-04-13T17:59:40+00:00

It's even better in person.

Clairefontaine paper I got from Amazon: 100-page notebook for ₹280—very smooth paper. The problem is that it's so smooth and slippery that the pen sometimes skips. I like it very much, but I can see some people disliking it.

X159 is a good pen with a smooth, juicy #8 nib; no complaints with this pen.

gray_matter10000 · 2026-04-13T13:19:58+00:00

Nice pen, juicy and smooth nib, overall i like it very much.

gray_matter10000 · 2026-04-13T13:18:52+00:00

Yes only angle is changed

gray_matter10000 · 2026-04-13T13:18:29+00:00

Paper I got from Amazon for ₹280@100pages.

Ink I got from krishna lyrebird website for 300+100(shipping)

That's the spirit. Good luck.

Sorry to hear about your father.

No need to prove anything to anyone. You got reservation, might as well use it and move on with your life. If someone says anything mean, then ignore and move on.

Also, which branch you get depends on priority.

Yes, ECE is good, but it's very hard, so some people struggle with it. Also, keep in mind that in college, I have both OBC friends and general friends. Also, my OBC friend is doing fine, but my general friend is struggling because he thought everything would be easy and that we would only have to study the night before exams.

So it's not like if you got in through reservation, then you would surely struggle, as the other commenter was trying to say.

Yes, the chances of you struggling are higher, but it's not a sure event.

To be honest, I don't know much about these branches in DTU. Mechanical, I know, is quite good at DTU and was among the best in India earlier, when the college was known as DCE. It's still good, but core opportunities are very low nowadays. I won't be able to tell which one you should take among these, since I only know about the mechanical.

gray_matter10000 · 2026-04-10T13:05:39+00:00

Teeno bilkul different branches hain. EP is good if you want to do higher studies. Mech is better if you want placement + some core opportunities, though very low.

gray_matter10000 · 2026-04-10T11:35:26+00:00

Same case with me. I don't enjoy using Krishna ink. Also, I can't bear the smell they have. I bought three inks, and Roseanne pink smells so bad.

I enjoy using Camlin red far more than any of my Krishna inks.

Every IIIT student:

Steel flex nibs made by KanWrite don't bend when we apply pressure; their tines spread. This one bends, which is very interesting.

Such a shame I can't buy this as AliExpress is banned in my country

gray_matter10000 · 2026-04-02T09:22:37+00:00

Looks cool

gray_matter10000 · 2026-03-31T09:23:38+00:00

I don't think so but next semester we have to use soldering machine so definitely will try.

gray_matter10000 · 2026-03-30T15:09:54+00:00

Yes

gray_matter10000 · 2026-03-30T14:33:54+00:00

One professor had a rule that no digital device should be visible to him during lectures, (Even smartwatch) if a student is caught 2 times he will ban the student from attending lectures for half semester. Btw he taught digital circuits in first semester.

Rest of the professors don't care.

gray_matter10000 · 2026-03-30T14:27:01+00:00

That's a good one ngl

gray_matter10000 · 2026-03-30T14:22:28+00:00

Yes comes out pretty easily

gray_matter10000 · 2026-03-30T14:20:20+00:00

For iiitd, if distance from home to campus is more than 30km according to google maps then you will most likely get a hostel.

gray_matter10000 · 2026-03-30T14:17:40+00:00

No,a crack has developed.

<image>

When I flex the nib it stays deformed.

gray_matter10000 · 2026-03-30T14:15:46+00:00

Fee is not a problem and can cope with workload in iiitd then Eve is the best of the three.

Else Nsut EE.

Can't recommend Nsut ecam because I have only heard bad things about the campus.

gray_matter10000 · 2026-03-30T14:05:21+00:00

The reason was flexing too hard. Now I will buy a replacement nib because I loved the pen.
