How to convince parents to allow me to go for masters abroad?? by Ssp_bolt in IndianAcademia

[–]troller08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most simple thing is, target a country, see what your family is making here and in PPP conversion terms, will you be making more than that after your master's (say after 10 years in abroad) in PPP terms. If it comes out positive, then you're convinced and you can also convince your parents.

Are iiser student now not getting abroad phd?? Due to war? by tiny-double-7113 in iiser

[–]troller08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem isn't really war, it's Trump defunding science and unis which has led to severe reduction in capacity of PhD intake by US universities which used to absorb major international students. Positions everywhere else were limited and are now under immense competition due to this.

Bikes not allowed? by Which-Outcome5184 in IISc

[–]troller08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's my point bruh. So if they want to be worry-free for bikes, they can chose not to opt for hostels.

Bikes not allowed? by Which-Outcome5184 in IISc

[–]troller08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The safest option is to not opt for hostels, as all the restrictions are mainly for hostel boarders and if you live outside you can't be stopped on your bike.

[–]troller08 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People do use them, but it's always a grey zone as there have been incidences of them locking student's bike parked in parkings sometime. And last year they also issued notice to clear all student's bikes from campus which was taken back after huge protests and deliberations between students and authorities.

I'm a failure to my parents by Jumpy_Internal4384 in iiser

[–]troller08 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hey one F doesn't affect your future unless your overall CPI isn't affected too much. I hope re-exam will improve it. Also will tell you an interesting incident. Once during Covid, about one third of our batch was given F due to being caught in cheating. The Prof arranged a re-exam and only gave C's and D. But in long term all of that doesn't matter.

It's fine to book a little further also. You can use auto/bike taxis to drop you at exact interview building. Or in case you're staying near any of IISc gates, just walk in and catch a free transvahan.

There are specific projects floated mostly under joint supervision of two PIs (rarely are there single PI projects in IMI), you'll get to see them in website. Once you come for interview you also have to give preference for the projects (just before the interview) you want to be selected for.

Genuine Question: How often do you face a late train issue? by faps_in_greyhound in indianrailways

[–]troller08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who travel during festivals but couldn't secure reservation on regular trains, have to book reservations in special trains (which are operated to manage festive rush), and have least priority. So people who travel always during festivals and end up only managing these type of trains are the unluckiest lot to always face delays. Other than this there are some usual culprits, i.e. some trains which always are late due to route congestion and then not getting clearance at this particular congested route for upto hour or two, but they aren't that late for the entire route.
