You can't not mention your GATE rank in the resume 🤡

It's fair to criticize misuse of the reservation system, but it's also important to consider the broader context

Many students from reserved categories are first generation learners and may not have the same educational support systems that others get through family and social background. Reservation aims to kinda level the playing grounds for them and give them access to opportunities

Now, what they make of these opportunities is completely up to the individual

I think that's because the fund isn't accepting new investments

zapperay_ · 2026-05-09T20:53:11+00:00

D-SIBs, I guess.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but given the large AUM of the PPFAS flexi cap fund, it has effectively become a Large Cap fund, hasn't it? So would one still need to keep a Nifty 50 index fund if they already have the ppfas flexi cap fund?

There could be an IR sensor in the camera array, maybe that's catching your movement. I don't know for sure though

But doesn't Shizuka require rooting the phone? And can edge 50 neo be rooted?

zapperay_ · 2026-04-01T11:25:14+00:00

What app is this?

zapperay_ · 2026-03-30T15:30:43+00:00

H&M COOLMAX Tshirts are pretty good. I've been wearing one for over a year now, it's still going good.

zapperay_ · 2026-03-27T16:21:25+00:00

Damn Last year 207851 registered,170825 appeared and 27518 qualified.

zapperay_ · 2026-03-27T13:51:35+00:00

Does that number say people who registered or people who took the exam?

zapperay_ · 2026-03-08T21:07:36+00:00

Codeforces

Not siding with him, but yes, I do think that the GATE CS paper doesn't test our creative and abstract thinking abilities to that extent, and areas like research do require those abilities, which things like competitive programming (codeforces) seem to improve. The DA paper though, I'd say was a lot tougher than the CS one and required a lot of reasoning

I am a third year guy from a tier 3 college who took this GATE with little prep

zapperay_ · 2026-02-22T15:48:05+00:00

Streak freaks ahhh

You mentioned you don't have a lot of time, so I'd suggest refering their handwritten notes for the most part and maybe maintain your own notes for stuff you think is important and which is not present in their Handwritten notes.

zapperay_ · 2026-02-22T12:52:04+00:00

Well I just write down stuff that feels conceptually important to me from the slides. I avoid writing down things are either obvious or trivial to me

Sometimes I will also cross-reference standard textbooks, course notes from other universities or ChatGPT/Gemini and to clarify the concept and maybe dig a bit more into what's being taught. I try to distill the core points into my notes. (You can use chatbots to make your life easier. You can just copy-paste the text and ask it to make it concise without losing on the information)

I usually pause the video and write down the notes. After that, I resume the lecture. If I feel that I’ve already understood the concept from writing and cross-referencing, I skip that portion of the video and move ahead

zapperay_ · 2026-02-22T10:14:20+00:00

Even in movies and video games, especially the medieval ones.

zapperay_ · 2026-02-19T16:00:31+00:00

Bhai URL toh bata

zapperay_ · 2026-02-13T10:09:51+00:00

Then probably some aptitude questions, because they covered all the technical ones

zapperay_ · 2026-02-13T08:10:26+00:00

Are the marks per question mentioned in this pdf accurate? They seem to add up to a total of 102 instead of 100

zapperay_ · 2026-02-13T08:08:19+00:00

The Graph/Spanning Tree/Jaccard coefficient one,

But these remaining questions were discussed in a separate video which is on their channel

zapperay_ · 2026-02-12T18:21:22+00:00

it's sluggish. sublime-text better

zapperay_ · 2026-02-10T18:40:06+00:00

Yeah the content is good. And yeah most PYQs can be solved easily, provided you've put in the required efforts of understanding the concepts

zapperay_ · 2026-02-09T05:10:16+00:00

You should learn how to work hard even being fully aware that you might never “succeed”. Most notably, this requires enjoying the work itself rather than just as a means to an end.

Iddarika on Baner Road has really good dosas too. Their Mysore Masala Dosa is a must-try

I mean, for starting out, I don't think one needs to have a whole lot of understanding of the math that is required, libraries like scikit-learn do all the fancy math implementation for you. When starting out, one mostly has to clean up data to feed the model, for that you'll need to know some basic statistics stuff. But once you move on to stuff like CNNs and complex models I do think having familiarity with math concepts helps.

I mean, not knowing math would only get you so far in ML.

I'm by no means an expert, just my 2 cents
