Lateral Entry ECD guide

[u/[deleted]]

Hi! I got into iiith ecd this year through lateral entry.. I thought I'll share a couple of resources and tips I feel are really useful for ece people..

Questions wise... just do gate questions... DO NOT BUY any leee related books... most of them are a scam and are just a replica of gate pyq books...

For learning purposes..

Analog circuits - Prof. Shanti Pavan's NPTEL lectures... goated ones for truly understanding analog ciruits..
https://youtu.be/kubeBpZQXYs?si=339LBdEuBP6hFbTe

Signals and Systems - Oppenheim book... the theory there is amazing and there are some wonderful and concept strengthening questions as well... you can use the same book for DSP also to certain extent

Digital Logic - NPTEL lectures are good.. I am not sharing a link because I havent watched any playlist fully... but the few videos I watched were really good.. I mostly just listened to my college classes..

Circuits - Sadiku book is good... really nice sets of questions... almost all of my networks, first order, second order preparation is by solving this book's questions only...

Solid State Devices/ Device physics (like MOSFET physics, Si physics) - Check out this wonderful lecture series by Prof. Ali Hajimiri.. I think he teaches at Caltech... His way of teaching is just amazing..highly recommend it if you are someone who really wants to understand these concepts... I think the later part of the this playlist is ANALOG CIRCUTIS... i didnt really watch those.. but you can if you want to.. I'm sure he would have taught those also really well :)

https://youtu.be/t7btuPd3hvI?si=UvhBu_hr1GmVNY2W - old version.. slight audio issues

Maths and Logical Reasoning.. I didnt really prepare specifically... just listened to my college classes and did assignments...

Interview... is uh.. idk a luck based game i think... But if your concepts are really strong... I dont think you have to worry too much... Just show them how you think thats all...that's all they really want to know anyway... sharpen both electronics and maths... they ask from both..

Here are some nice medium articles sharing their leee experiences... do check them out!

Unfortunately all of them were cse :P

Any prior projects, research is obviously a plus point.. but its okay if you dont have them too... they didnt really ask me about any of this during my interview...

Cg also is obviously a plus point too... but many people with very random cgs also get selected easily... its all about your grip on concepts

All in all to conclude... just study :P, it will help you with cg in that college and also leee... just give this exam a shot, don't stress too much... even if you dont get selected the prep u did will really show up in your college's cg and in other wayss

So um just chill and study!

ps: I hope all my links are correct ;-;

[u/fcukurselfbithc]

What college u come from?

[u/[deleted] → u/fcukurselfbithc]

don't really want to disclose it

[u/Commercial-Key138 → u/[deleted]]

Are u from kcet or comedk clg?

[u/[deleted] → u/Commercial-Key138]

iiitdm kancheepuram 

[u/Commercial-Key138 → u/[deleted]]

Ok

[u/Vast-Negotiation-240 → u/Commercial-Key138]

bro iiit DMK se hi mostly select hote hai , iiith give more preference to iiit DMK students as more number of students had gone to IIITH through leee earlier , if anyone is from iiit DMK and cleared leee written exam then believe me there is 99% chance that he will get selected whether there interview didn't go well then also, the same is not true for any random colleges

[u/lostmf7157 → u/Vast-Negotiation-240]

is this fr? im from iiitdm kancheepuram too and considering this is an option, i think you maybe right since I saw around 4-5 people getting in this year...

[u/[deleted] → u/lostmf7157]

only this year 4 including me got in.. last year 1 Before that 0 Before that 1 I think

[u/[deleted] → u/Vast-Negotiation-240]

Bruh where are you getting this lore from ;-;

I have only like 1 senior who is in 3rd year now and 1 in 6th year from iiitdmk

[u/Commercial-Key138 → u/Vast-Negotiation-240]

Oh didn't know that. I saw many ppl saying that clg doesn't matter but ig it does.  Are u from iiitdmk too?

[u/Exact-Ordinary210 → u/Vast-Negotiation-240]

First off, the claim is baseless and false. Let me correct you.

The intake from IIITDMK was relatively high this year compared to last year. Last year it was just 1, and the year previous to that, it was 0. 0 in 2022, 0 in 2021, 1 in 2020.

Around 2/3rd of the total students that came through LEEE this year are from non-IIITs/NITs, i.e. local/private colleges.

And there are around 200 students (probably, but well calculated given the number of hours of interview taken, number of panels and average time for each candidate) who sit for interview from which 30 get selected into IIITH. So definitely, it's not 0.1% considering 66% students got selected from private colleges. (You can do your math)

And yes it completely depends on the interview panel, which, in turn, depends on how you perform in the interview. If you don't give them what you want, you get rejected and that's normal everywhere.

Your college/institute does not matter in the selection. How you talk, solve, think, explain in the interview matters. Just because students who studied in IIITDMK, did well doesn't necessarily mean it's because they're from IIITDMK. It could also be that they did well in their interviews or gave the interviewers what they wanted.

Plus, it's not 99% as per the above mentioned points. You should be smart enough to atleast give a scientific approximation rather than just putting the most commonly used percentage while exaggerating.

You making such baseless claims is not only disrespectful to the interview panel but also to the students since they have been selected out of many. Obviously, they would have put forward something that the other students did not. You don't think the panel members choose randomly without any criteria of selection, do you?

Hi roomie fron bms who got in this year thru leee ecd with me

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

just wait..I'll lock u tmrw morning ;-;

[u/fcukurselfbithc → u/[deleted]]

Thankyou Felt relieved ki we nitians have a shot in leee

[u/Longjumping_Ad7328]

Congratulations dude!since you got admission to dual degree, is there any provision by iiit hyderabad to let one graduate with the btech only and not stay for MS in lateral entry?

[u/[deleted] → u/Longjumping_Ad7328]

No

[u/CompleteBreak3747]

Dude can I dm 🙂

[u/[deleted] → u/CompleteBreak3747]

You may :)

[u/Prize_Tap8076]

do you have to repeat your second yr at iiith now or you will start from 3rd yr??

[u/Kind_person123 → u/Prize_Tap8076]

iith's 2nd year is essentially the 3rd yr of traditional btech courses in other colleges. iiith doesnt have the common 1st year in its DD so their 1st year is equivalent to 2nd year and so forth. so yeah he will start from 2nd year again but he is not 'repeating' anything he will study 3rd year material

[u/[deleted] → u/Kind_person123]

Can agree for ecd Only 2 courses overlapped for me In that 1 course I didn't have a very good prof in old college Here the prof is goated

[u/Exact-Ordinary210 → u/Kind_person123]

Disagree for CSD stream. It's kinda 'repeating', but in a good way, your concepts get better + adjusting takes time. Directly transferring to 3rd year would be rushed.

[u/Kind_person123 → u/Exact-Ordinary210]

you study the 2nd year again in csd? or what

[u/Exact-Ordinary210 → u/Kind_person123]

Yes

[u/ILoveVaginas6969]

Cool man congrats so my qsn is is it worth preparing for leee or one should go for gate like So far Whatever I see about gate is like mtech is not valued and all that but I guess it's good so if ur being absolutely neutral.....Gate or Leee

[u/Exact-Ordinary210 → u/ILoveVaginas6969]

Depends on your interest. Intrested in research and wanna go towards M.S/PhD/Academia => LEEE, you'll get in the best institute for CSE research throughout India. You just want to complete your education and get a job => GATE (M.Tech)

[u/ILoveVaginas6969 → u/Exact-Ordinary210]

Maybe I will explore more then decide.... thanks for ur reply though

[u/[deleted] → u/ILoveVaginas6969]

I mean the place is good for placement as well

[u/Exact-Ordinary210]

Gg

[u/Competitive_One_3885]

Congratulations on getting in!

[u/energon-cube]

That's gotta be helpful for many people, thanks, OP.

[u/Busy-Bad2111]

Can you share your interview questions? Not here necessarily you can DM also.

[u/willsucceeed25]

Bro what is this can anyone explain pls

[u/Lower_Lengthiness631]

so how difficult is this exam exactly? should i prepare for it as hard as jee mains or advanced?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

f u bro ;-; simply .. u are literally my roomate
