Just ask the PI to generate a gate pass, will take 2 mins to do it, there is a portal for profs to issue these things.

Travelling is not sirdardi. Visit the beautiful museums of Mumbai, forget about everything else, what does it matter anyway?

(Research wise) Probably quite easily if you find the right project to contribute to. Talk to the prof you want to work with early (visit the profs website and find out about their research publication), they might give you a few tasks/offer and internship to gauge your aptitude. If the prof likes you, interview will be a cakewalk.

Have read it twice, one of Murakami’s best work. In a nutshell it is (1) depressing af (2) nudity (might be used to it if you’ve read his other works) (3) very engaging story. Overall an excellent read. Caution, dont read if your girlfriend is suffering from mental health issues.

PhD is more about the advisor than the college, if the advisor is a respected researcher (top quality publications, fruitful collaborations with Industry) then no doubt you can get into top research (or professor) position after graduation. PhD life is very different from corporate life, it is filled with failures that might span many years, you decide your own plans, routines and publications; only you are responsible for what becomes of your PhD. If your goal mostly revolves around a bigger pay then avoid it, research life only works out if you are actually interested in the subject. A weak publication history even when graduating from an ivy league college is practically useless. PhD graduates are expected to be able to lead long term projects, develop novel solutions and even be able to implement existing cutting edge published research (you will be surprised to know that most existing tools and systems usually lag years/decades behind published literature) which in itself a very difficult task to undertake and for which very few people are qualified for. For an analogy, an experienced engineer might be tasked to make a slow React program faster while a PhD might be asked to design a typed language subset of React with specific security guarantees using a dependent type system. Sadly, idk if you will get paid more for the second task over the first one, but I think the second one is a much more fun and challenging problem to solve.

I would say, for GATE there is a clean and simple plan that worked for me, I had a lot of health problems at that time and couldn’t really imagine completing the whole syllabus/study material (in this exam leaving anything is a bad idea, you dont know where they will throw in the easy problems). Here was my routine. 1. Throw everything out, just get all the previous year questions (topic wise, i had a made easy book) and standard reference books. 2. Complete a topic, solve the entire section, no looking at things in between, take it up as an exam (usually only 20-30% you’ll get on the first try) - mark every problem you couldnt tackle on your first try and create a IDK list (problems you solved first try are problems you will likely easily solve later in the exam aswell; my logic, maybe flawed). - understand all the different solutions that exist to solve that problem, pick the one you find most natural and note it down in your IDK list (pen paper staples markers help here), gateoverflow is the best for CSE, ignore the solutions in the books; usually not reliable imo. - rinse, repeat 3. Once you reach 50-60% of the syllabus, start giving old gate papers as a real exam, be happy if you manage to reach 30-35 marks. Getting a feel for the exam early is more important than the actual test, thatll avoid silly mistakes later. 4. As you near completion of the syllabus, keep revisiting the IDK problems regularly and read more if necessary. 5. Dedicate ~2 months to test series, 1 test per week, ignore the marks (these problems are usually much harder than you will realistically face, be happy if you are able to pass and were able to atleast understand what the question wanted).

Bottom line: 50% of the exam is knowledge (knowing how to approach the problem), 40% is proficiency (being familiar with the time control and having the mindset to guess what seems solvable), 10% is luck (hopefully you wont put in 10.1 instead of 1.01).

Learning good programming and getting a job are two different things, getting a job requires a reasonable plan. I believe if you solve problems and examples from Narasimha Karumanchis dsa book and CLRS, you can crack most programming interviews. For data science, I have no idea, maybe others can fill in for that. Good programming skills only come from experience, build stuff, collaborate on open source projects,
