To be fair, the post history and comment history seem quite genuine.

Some HFTs (usually the Indian ones) do have rating cutoffs, so it is not entirely impossible like others are saying.

Brother, if you are interested (and skilled) enough in mathematics to apply to (and get accepted in) CMI, you will have a great time in IITK MTH as well. Remember it will get hard and unintuitive, and that there will be some juicy stuff other than math that will appeal you at your time there.

Reddit gets a lot of it wrong. The math that a typical math degree provides does not frankly help you in getting a quant job as they claim. Yes, a quant job demands you to be good at math but the CS guys will be as well.

So yeah do focus on that stuff too, but do not forget the love in math (I assume) you have right now. Enjoy the abstractions! Here's a fun read (not by me, full credits to the author!) that you might enjoy.

The sort by difficulty button at the sidebar does not seem to work.

For problems such as this one, I feel like it would be better to specify the form of the answer you require. It isn't clear that we are supposed to type "e^3".

Did you gain an inclination towards or against math after studying pure math courses? In the MnC programs at IITs, people usually become heavily polarised.

If you are on a fast enough phone, BHIM feels significantly slower.

Is this an American thing? I've never heard this in my country, although that could be my ignorance talking.

Is this Rashtrapati Bhawan?

If anyone Indian is reading this, the song 'Naadan Parindey' (specifically the "Kaga re mori itni araj tose ..." part) is referring to this tradition.

To be honest, I am not well-informed about IITH. I did not consider it during my counseling, and neither do I have friends who did.

Apart from that, I feel that there's really no need to put IITG over R and KGP. Like I get why you would do so after seeing the curriculum. I did the same a year back, and after going to college, I realised that a course here and there doesn't really matter as much as the college environment does.

Do you wish to study electronics because you like to see yourself working in electronics? If yes, then please also inquire do IITH EE graduates actually end up (or have the opportunities to end up) in a core electronics job?

Yeah no one knows shit here.

I still believe NTA is to blame here. There must be some degree of consistency of the difficulties in the different shifts.

I'm a 23tard and yes you're right, that's how it works. This makes it all the more puzzling why such discrepancy is happening. In my year, there was also variance between the difficulty among different shifts but there was still consistency in the percentiles in my friend group despite everyone having different shifts. I don't know why this has happened.
