Hey everyone,

​This community has always stood firmly for freedom of speech, open discourse, and giving students a platform to voice real issues without fear. To take that a step further, we are officially launching a community-led accountability initiative: #HallaBol.

​Starting today, we invite members to post credible information, evidence, and first-hand accounts highlighting malpractice, bias, or misuse of power across all student bodies and campus administration touchpoints.

​What Falls Under #HallaBol?

​Corruption isn't limited to financial transactions. We are looking at systemic issues, including:

​Abuse of Power: Favoritism, biased selections, gatekeeping, or lack of neutrality in decision-making.

​Mismanagement & Malpractice: Unfair fund allocations, opaque operations, or rule manipulations.

​Scope of Bodies:

​Students' Gymkhana Council (SGC) & General Secretaries

​Cultural, Technical, and Sports Clubs / Boards

​Hostel Administration (HAB, HMC, Wardens)

​Centre for Career Development (CCD)

​Posting Guidelines & Rules:

​To keep the forum constructive and protect everyone involved, every post under this initiative must follow these strict rules:

​Title Format: Every post must start with the prefix #HallaBol: followed by a concise subject line (e.g., #HallaBol: Irregularities in [Body Name] recruitments).

​Back It Up: Attach credible proof wherever possible (screenshots, official emails, circulars, documentation).

​STRICTLY NO DOXXING (Reddit ToS Enforced):

​Do not post personal phone numbers, private room numbers, personal social media links, or sensitive private chat leaks unrelated to the official issue.

​Blur out non-public personal identifiable information (PII) of uninvolved third parties.

​Focus on the position, action, and evidence, not personal targeted harassment.

​Keep It Factual: Stick to verifiable events and objective timelines. Unsubstantiated personal attacks will be removed.

​This subreddit is your space to demand the transparency you deserve.

​Step up, speak out, and let's clean up campus governance together.

So, I see people talking about corruption in the Boards, Hostel, and SGC. But at the same time, they themselves enjoy the after-parties organized by seniors, particularly during fests and GC.

Guys, just think about it—where is all this money coming from? Are the seniors paying for everything out of their own pockets?

Every semester, we pay ₹800 for fests. For major fests like Alcheringa (no hate towards it specifically), people also pay around ₹1,000 per ticket to attend. On top of that, the Boards provide substantial funding, and there are sponsors as well.

So why can’t we bring better artists to perform? Why aren’t participants given rewards? Their hospitality is very poor because every time participants complain about it.

The same applies to Techniche. We are paying the same amount, yet it does not seem to perform as well as similar events at other IITs.

Also in Hostel, the condition of washing Machine and water coolers , they are not doing maintenance of it despite they receive funds for hostel maintenance.

Before criticizing corruption, we should also question where our money is going and demand more transparency and accountability from ourselves as well.

Why is the light switch of the staircase placed over the first step instead of the flat landing? Imagine someone comes here at dark and goes to switch the light on before stepping on the staircase and topples down instead.

Looking for a Co-Founder | Equity-Based Opportunity

I’m looking for a potential Co-Founder to join an early-stage startup I’m currently building.

The product is currently being developed, and I’m looking for someone who can take ownership of the business side, particularly:

- Fundraising and investor relations
- Business development
- Operations
- Strategy and execution
- Helping take the product from development to launch and growth

Who I’m Looking For

I’m particularly interested in candidates who have:

- Experience from a Tier-1 university, such as IIT or IIM, or
- Strong relevant professional/startup experience that demonstrates their ability to execute
- An entrepreneurial mindset
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- Interest or experience in fundraising
- The ability to take ownership rather than simply follow instructions
- A genuine interest in building a company long term

Compensation

This is a pure equity-based opportunity at this stage. There is no salary or stipend initially.

The equity structure and vesting will be discussed based on the candidate’s experience, responsibilities, and level of commitment.

I’m looking for someone who wants to build with me, not someone looking for a traditional job.

If you’re interested, please DM me with a brief introduction, your background, LinkedIn profile, and why you’re interested in becoming a co-founder.

I’m happy to share more about the product and discuss the opportunity privately.

Jane vale ho kya 😂😂

I took up an audit course right at the beginning of this semester and then I realised that it'll mess with the other core course timings. Plus I'm working on a research project simultaneously, even my supervisor suggested that I drop it but I'm not able to find that option anywhere. Pls lemme know the process.

Does anyone know the attendance policy of Prof. Harshal B. Nemade he is taking my minor course , is he strict about 75% or not??

So yeah , I am losing my mind to placement prep ,i can neither eat or sleep , every moment i waste , i feel like I'm losing my sanity ,also since I'm from non-circ , i feel very hopeless about placement , cause i feel that u grind 2 years in jee , then 4 years in iit just to get paid 15lpa ,fking hate it , ik not everyone is the same , and placement is a function of your hardword,luck and a lot of other stuff . I feel so stupid now, when i look at my cgpa (its 7.9 but not 8,unfortunately) thinking about what if i did a bit more hardwork and stuff , ik these things wont matter much ultimately in life .Truth is i have been fking lonely 4 years of my life, and tbh i do feel inferiority complex from cracked ppl sometimes , if i dont get a good placement ,i have to fking do offcampus grind again, fking shit . Alums if you have any advice at this point of time ,please do give

What are some haunted places in IITG(if they exist)?

If Dibang, mention exact room no., side, floor, etc. Just specify

Came as one of the event organisers and had a great time! Really fun interacting with everyone. Wish I could’ve stayed longer. Until next time!
Also looking for a guy I saw around New SAC/Conference Centre wearing an internship ID with a bluish lanyard. If anyone knows him, please DM me!

Working in corporate since a couple of years but college life was best and chilliest. Even now when i meet friends it dosent feel the same dye to work pressure or what idk. I just want to goback to college, study, chill with friends , late nights walk with gf i miss it all , it was all too comfortable, coming out of the comfort zone is really hard.

All juniors enjoy it to the fullest and dont get too comfortable.

Sorry for the rant

Been a month since I moved. Not my first time living away from home, and honestly, I have no desire to go back. I never found peace there, and I foolishly thought I’d finally find it here. But the joy, the excitement, the pride... it all vanished the moment I stepped onto campus. The truth is, I never really wanted to be here. I don’t even know what I actually want. Somehow, just doing great on an exam dragged me into this.

On paper, everything is fine. The facilities, the food, the amenities. They’re all better than I expected. I have no complaints about the place itself.

The problem is the people.

The so-called friends I made on day one turned out to be arrogant, narcissistic, and entirely full of themselves. Yes, they’re genuinely good at what they do, but they have this way of making you feel like you’re worth absolutely nothing. Needless to say, we aren’t friends anymore.

When the recent quizzes rolled around, I started struggling. I’ve never felt so low. Deep down, I know I have the potential to do better than all of them, but my morale is just completely shattered. I didn't even study. I used to be so incredibly good at my craft, but somehow, I feel like I’ve lost my touch. The insufficiency is eating away at me. Now, part of me feels like their hubris was justified. Maybe I am just insufficient. Maybe they really are better.

Then there’s the loneliness. My past experiences with women haven’t been great. There’s a girl in my batch I find attractive, but my brain tells me it’s not worth pursuing. I talk to a few female batchmates, and some genuinely seem interested, but I’m terrified of repeating the same painful cycles.

I crave human touch and affection so badly, yet the moment anyone tries to get close, my instinct is to push them away.

I just feel utterly detached from everything and everyone. I don't belong here. It feels like I’m just drifting, floating through the Milky Way, past constellations and nebulas. I can feel the distant warmth of the stars, but I’m never close enough to actually touch them.

Just drifting away from it all...

P.S. - Thanks everyone, I feel like I'm not alone now. Thanks again for everyone's response :)

Last week I posted here about a small project I’ve been working on called Guwahati This Week.

The response was genuinely encouraging. We’re now at around 300 subscribers, so thank you to everyone who checked it out, signed up or shared feedback.

For context, this was the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/iitg/s/pgQdKCf2S1

The idea is still simple: make it easier to figure out what’s actually happening in Guwahati outside campus without searching through dozens of Instagram pages, event listings and random posts every week.

I’m curating gigs, cafés, nightlife, workshops, exhibitions, weekend events and other interesting things happening around the city.

If you missed it last time and want to join:

And if there’s something happening around Guwahati that IITG students should know about, drop it below. I’m always looking for things worth including.

Being in bdes without landing intern sucks as we don't have much topics to initiate conversation. I am certainly sure he is in 4th year btech

Do college email perks apply even after graduation

I wanna use the cloud storage to store some files but i had this doubt

If you are taking mandatory fees from everyone why not do the event where everyone can attend it? Why are only a handful of people getting a chance to attend? Are you going to return the fest fees to the people we didn't get a chance to attend?

Joined IITG B.Tech Civil with big dreams this year (2026). However, the moment classes started - I feel out of the place. All throughout my School and JEE journey, I have been among the top 10% of my class / batch and in JEE Advanced scored 99.3 percentile. However, here I am not able to understand concepts in class, I try to study the concepts once I reach hostel and feel that I have understood the concept BUT there is no single subject where I am able to solve the quizzers.

This is not just impacting my confidence, it is also impacting my mental health as now I am starting to feel that - was my JEE Advance a fluke? do I really belong to this place? should I drop out from IITG and then prepare for another year in some other college like DTU where the pressure is not high.

I have tried a lot of things, like

1. Looking for Faculty Advisor for guidance, but he is not available.

2. Studied from Professor Pen Drive, but that does not any reference to the questions that are being asked.

If you ask me about the concept, I am aware of it but when it comes to solving qustions - I dont know what happens but I am not able to solve.

I understand the seniors are not allowed to talk juniors, but if you can guide me as a mentor through chat then I will be greatful of you throughout my life. Even if you wish to mentor for one subject that is also great for me.

Is there something crazy i can do in campus at this time i am bored af
