Laptops stolen from NITK. This same guy stole 11 laptops from IIIT Raipur 5 months ago.

So, I've joined this random ass teir 3 clg in my city (because i didn't do well in jee). Its been like 2 months now since the college has started, and I really don't like it, it's boring af, people there literally don't know how to speak english(not discriminating them) they mostly come form a agriculture country background. I literally have no idea what to do. All I'm looking for is to have a nice frnd gang and maybe a gf, i can't see any of those, it's really hard to push myself to 75% attendence in here

Campus is literally school in name of college, no decent canteen, no college life, no campus Life 😭

Any senior help this junior out pls 🙏

Im getting daddy issues zorr se
(context: I cant apply for other better companies on campus so its kinda sad)

If you want a good placement after engineering college, focus on building real skills and avoid the "research paper scam" at all costs. This is the reality of what happened to me when I was in college.

I guess we were in our 4th semester, and we had a web development lab class. Our professor came to the first class and told us: "You can learn web development from anywhere, but do you know what is most important for a college student? A research paper."

Instead of teaching us what or how to research, he divided the entire class into groups and assigned everyone the task of writing a research paper. He suggested that we first download some research papers from various websites, study them, and understand how they work—which basically meant copy-pasting to avoid plagiarism. No one actually conducted real research or wrote their own thesis and principles. He also instructed us to include his name on the papers. Everyone followed his suggestions.

When it came time for publication, we had to publish it on IEEE, which cost around ₹6,000 to ₹7,000. We contributed the money ourselves, and all of this was just for good grades and nothing else.

This is a scam. Avoid it if possible, and spend your time learning real skills if you want a good placement.

Watch it : Watch this to know how students get trapped and why you should focus on real skills instead.

I just don't feel like I belong anywhere. Today they probably have this stupid dandiya celebration or something where I am gonna be all alone like a freak and now thinking for hrs now if I should go to college and make myself feel awkward or stay at home with my toxic family and destroy my mental health further.

Any suggestions are welcomed guys. Help a kiddo out.

Please share your setup or apps that you use. Professors waste time in the class and I scroll reels there. So I want to turn it into something productive. Please help. The screen is too small. And switching apps and online compilers feels too tiring.

PLEASE don't say "use the full form" I can't change the title now

I'm in BTech and I'm kinda struggling with money rn. There are so many things I wanna buy but can't afford them. My parents can get them for me but I don't feel like asking them for every little thing, especially when it's not a necessity.

So yeah, how do you guys earn money? Other than saving whatever pocket money you get. Any part time jobs or anything?

Also I'm from Mumbai, so if anyone knows where I can find a part time job, please tell me 😭

I gave my first job interview and I don't know if I was out of my mind or nervous but I confidently gave wrong answer. The interviewer even tried to correct me by giving hints but I couldn't catch it at that time. Ever since the interview I've been thinking about this. The question was not even new to me, I knew the answer and it was simple but still gave the wrong answer at that time, I was not even thinking like my brain just froze.

I just want to forget what happened during the interview.

how many parts does that question has 3 or 5 ??

in 1st sem rn, my 2nd midsems are going on, and I see myself scoring extremely low like 2-3marks/20 maybe 5-6 if luck favors.
I was severely ill for last 10-12 days so couldn't attend lectures much, I was on bed all the time so didnt study at my room also.

today I have my bee paper at 10am and i am unable to cramp shit,
this proff I have is very strict and people say 70% get back.
it feels very painful

I still have my another midsem and endsem left but no hopes,
negative thoughts.
what if I perform similarly in those papers too ?
I dreamt of changing branch, then reality hit and I thought atleast I'll get 8cg,
but even that feels far fetched.

I just really want another chance,
I thought I scored decent in first midsem so surely I will improve in 2nd,
but here I am.

I already hate my clg so much, dull college life, literally nothing to do.
falling behind in labs and stuff cause of my absence.

Feeling extremely depressed and sad,
I wish I was in a better position, maybe in better college or atleast with good marks.

2027 batch btw

As a final year student myself, I agree with all these points 🙏

How you feel imagining yourself a decade later , the jobs today exist disappear tomorrow , opportunities getting narrower, population getting wider , intense competition ahead , and even if you won the race the isn’t guaranteed too , constant fear of layoff so can’t even take home loan peacefully .

Those in tier 1/2 are still fine as they have an edge over tier 3 for opportunities , ik it’s not easy but still , but folks in tier 3 how your life is going rn , how you managing the dilemma to exist in this economy that too in this field .

Is their any backup you’re considering for future , or are you switching fields then what is it , now you can say I am thinking too much n live in present etc etc , but that doesn’t solve the problem permanently , seeking advice from fellow same thoughts folks …….

I have been trying to upgrade to a pro plan on claude. I don't why, but I keep this error "your card does not support this kind of payment". What should I do ?

Before this, I had got some other error, which got resolved after turning on international transaction.

If anyone knows how to resolve this, please let me know.
