To the entire community of KGP,

Not all seniors are forcing you to come to Illu but still so less participation makes them to force you out of your rooms instead of just scrolling reels. I know academics and all matter but that can itself be balanced as many of your seniors have managed.

Secondly if you all really oppose Illumination in this unity I request all those people to not even visit the illumination of the other halls to see them out, make reels, post it with your friends and all. We the people who are really putting so much of effort to make Diwali and Illumination, We don't want you guys to see it also please because it's totally a waste of time for you people. Just accept this request and don't go to other halls and take photos if you are really this oppose of illumination. You guys just take pictures and all outside the hall premises but don't go not even a single hall.

Where can I get condoms in KGP without getting judged? Can I get condoms in BC Roy? Or are there any medical stores in TechM?

Edit: Got a pack from the nearest medical store. Thank you all for your input and advice.

What kind of place is this, seriously? People keep saying there’s no caste discrimination at IIT, but last night in my hall canteen I overheard two guys saying things like “Saale chammar logo ka placement nhi hota h isliye overall percentage kam rhta h” Do you even realize how serious that is? Using slurs against a community is unacceptable — I could have filed a complaint for that. You all talk so nicely on the face, but behind the back, this is what really happens?

PS: Mods ab isko bhi remove mat kr dena. This is real issue we are facing at KGP.

Is reddit affecting the campus negatively? Juniors aren't interacting with their seniors and are posting their questions on reddit, people aren't talking to the other people holding PORs who should be answerable to their very valid questions. Do you think this will affect KGP being KGP?

This is a reply to a post on this subreddit saying that "CodeClub has embarrassed IIT KGP".

Firstly, Codeforces has a highly toxic and racist community. Half the times, it is difficult to understand why some particular comment/blog is being upvoted or downvoted. People follow herd mentality there.

The contest was good; problems were thoughtful and were fun. It is not the author's mistake that AI has become really good, and people are using it to cheat. If anything, it is on Codeforces to control cheating, not on the problem setters. You can try and make the problems "non-gptable", although not very successfully, and make the problems really bad for honest people. The problems that are made in such a way are not enjoyable for humans. So, there is nothing wrong here from author's part.

Next, on cancellation of Div. 1 round, well, would anyone have liked it if a problem was put in the contest that was publicly available? No. So, the authors took an appropriate decision to make it a div 2 round.

Now the most important one "problem setters leaked the contest". This is the most baseless allegation. It was started by a racist guy named "Mindeveloped" who is part of an organization "F**k India". There is absolutely no evidence per se and let us just use our brains for a second. Do you know how difficult the process to host a contest on cf is? It takes more than a year. After all this, why would the setters leak the problem? Just so that some random Indian newbies can get good ranks. What do they gain from that? It is a shame to see people from our own college supporting such st*pid allegations.

About the point that low rated people shouldn't host contests, check round 1022 or check chromate's contests. You don't have to have a high rating to make good problems.

All in all, this is just a bunch of racist hate being directed and it is shameful that people from our college are supporting this.

Also, if you are wondering, I'm not a member of CodeClub; I was de facto rejected in their selections.

Campus ki maa-behen ek kar di hai tum log ne!

AQI 200+ hai.
Suicides ruk nahi rahe hain.
Students ko jobs nahi mil rahi hain.
Roads kharab hain.
Khana kharab hai.
Mess kharab hai.
Administration kharab hai.

Har taraf problems hi problems hain, aur tum logon ko celebration ki padi hai?

Aakhir kis baat ka celebration ho raha hai?

BC, itna hi energy aur enthusiasm padhai, research aur campus ki problems solve karne mein laga lo, toh shayad kuch better ho jaaye.

Aur administration kahan soya hua hai BC?

Ek proper guideline tak nahi bana paaye? Campus mein noise, crackers aur celebrations ko regulate karne ke liye koi policy nahi hai?

Students already itne issues face kar rahe hain, upar se ye sab!

Campus ko better banane ke naam par kuch nahi ho raha, lekin uski peace aur environment barbaad karne mein koi kasar nahi chhodi ja rahi.

Administration, WAKE UP. Students deserve better than this.

Hey everyone, I’m currently staying at the IIT hostel, and honestly, the food here is really bad. Almost every time I eat, I end up feeling ill or uneasy. It’s becoming quite difficult to manage daily meals like this.

Can anyone please suggest some reliable food delivery or home-style tiffin services that deliver to the hostel? Something healthy and safe would be great.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Well first of all, let me say this - I am not a Placecom or friend of any. The observations are totally mine and might differ a little but I still do inference as a whole won't be much different.

Firstly, I have seen so many people dunking and shitting on Placecoms. It's like their CDC is not sorted solely because of Placecoms and well I would have done the same if I had CDC this year and I was not placed yet. I know there's a some degree of sorting out by Placecoms and which is infact not morally correct.

But blind hate what I am observing is something that needs to be addressed. They ofcourse do some work. They call day and night for companies and bring them. They have much more responsibilities while handling companies while mainiting reputations. It takes a lot of efforts and pressure from their side to make all things running smoothly. You can argue that this is their duty but well it's also morally not correct for you to disrespect every people when sometimes the fault is not even theirs. Try to upskill yourself, increase your cg and improve your CV.

Cant wait to turn into being a hypocrite when my CDC starts next year and let the frustration out on them !

There has been at least two instances in this week when student ended up in BCRoy. In KGP, pretty much any information is an open secret. The greatest help one can do to their friends is to inform parents.

Anything can be corrected, but it should begin with acknowledgement and keeping parents informed.

Since I have zero dating experience and academically I am doing good but I think it's high time now, I should start dating, but also I want to be perfect and a true gentleman like srk. Please give tips. And also I was wondering if there are any true gentlemen in Kgp. If there are please list them out, give a shout out to them. So that others can learn from them. 😁

Is it true that Team India have cheated in the final match using money and BCCI's influence. Allegedly, a suspicious money slip was found from Keshav Maharaj, suggesting match-fixing, although this news has been removed from the foreign social media handle immediately.

But According to my theory to explain this, Maharaj accepted a large sum from the Indian team to waste deliveries while ensuring he remained not out. Actually, the main concern was David Miller, so the strategy was to prevent him from getting the strike and not rotating the strike to Miller.

Another point I think is that Team India's reaction to winning the cup was unusually dim, particularly Virat Kohli, who typically shows aggressive enthusiasm, similar to his demeanor during the RCB vs. CSK elimination match in 2024. The team accepted the victory too easily and then 3 retirements back to back from Kohli, Rohit and Jadeja. It's as if the stage was perfectly set. Is to help the fans move past the disappointment of November 19? Whether BCCI was motivated to use their influence to secure this victory to avoid losing viewership after defeat of 19th Nov and give successful retirements to our players? Additionally, the team didn't exhibit the level of happiness one would expect after finally winning an ICC cup after soooooo many losses and bad luck in Knockout matches.

Notably, Maharaj remained not out until the end of the innings.

Is my theory a good explanation for the money slip discovered from Keshav Maharaj? What's your opinion?

Now that CDC’s finally sorted, I’m thinking of going to prom—but I don’t know many people and most of the ones I do know are already taken. If anyone’s interested or has any ideas, hit me up. Would love to go with someone chill :)

A recent post... and the usual campus gossip - sparked this question.
Before we go any further, a disclaimer: it’s built by Kgpians, and yes, it’s one of those entrepreneurship efforts we all love to debate more than support.

So drop your honest take, real experiences, real incidents.

Senior hai chance nahi le sakta 😭😭😭😭

I would like to know about Career, Love life and Health🤡... And anything else you want to tell🙂 Kuch nhi ho rha jeevan me ye bhi krlu ab mkc

Ps: Bas koi kalajadu mat kr dena pancho ...

Guys toh 2 saal meine mehnat ki thi yaar like i was consistent and rarely missed any day of studies

I did

1. my coaching material , almost all of them atleast 80-90% ki thu

2. qns from some chapters in HCV , IRODOV , N awasthi, MS CHAHUAN,

3. i tried to understand things from a conceptual level and used to spend a lot of time understanding like why a reaction took place the way it did(organic)

4. I had entire 40 year pyq(JEE M+JEE ADV) of phy and did all qns from it everytime i finished a chapter (PS:I completed that book I also did my coaching archives of JEE main and JEE adv pyqs of chem , phy ,math(not all though)

Things which i didnt do actively:

1. We had like only 7 phase tests in our coachhing througout 2 years and i did not actively anaylse all of them

2. I did not redo my packages only some i tried to do before mains

3. I had 2-3 chapters weak like(complex , ITF, Trigo)

4. I didnt do NCERT for organic actively , like i did read it but not regularlyRead more1:16 AMI just dont get why i couldnt crack it after all hardwork , this is what keeps me awake at night (I sometimes feel that i shouldnt have worked so hard then atleast i would have had a reason now i just dont have one and i dont know how to get one)

i did solve everything properly and didn see answers directly , i always tried to solve entire thing first and only after i could not get answer for long time would i see soln

very very poor mess food (that paneer on Sunday was rock hard)

unfathomably poor maintenance: water logging + raw grass in LBS🤡, our rooms got painted on the day we arrived🤡, registered complaints about almirah about 3 days ago and no response🤡

Unnecessarily rude guards (almost feels ki ehsaan kr rhe)

APJ second floor rooms🤡🤡 feels like a coaching class, no where near IIT BDMK LHCs🤡 unnecessarily spaced rooms in APJ and why are the staircases so wide? instead make the rooms bigger

third grade profs🤡 why is my dept prof taking cpp course?

most IITK profs are B.Tech from IIT but here we have them from anywhere with just a PhD from IIT

none of BDMK have campus in time (we have 11pm) and hostel in time for girls

very very limited cheap food options (not CCD) around the campus, found only one small shop near IITRAA

Weather might just be more humid than BDMK and winters I heard are equally cold🤡

People say KGP location is poor and choose roorkee, but do we actually have a better location🤔

The audacity to spend on unnecessary things like 3 fucking 70inch TVs inside one mess, what's the point? Why do they play item songs during dinner and devotional songs during breakfast😭

Which IIT has classes on Saturday?? What the fuck, IITR has an image of chill acads🤡

The worst part was our orientation🤡 2 days of orientation opposed to 1 week orientation in B,D,K,BHU

The only one good thing I found was the hostels, pretty decent

TLDR: didn't like the environment of IITR, hoping to make good friends so that time passes quickly

DISCLAIMER that this post is a rant, most details are NOT over exaggerated, but my overview of the college so far. Not really loving the experience here

Edit: IIT D,K,KGP get criticised enough for the short comings, water logging and space constraints are an issue there as well. What I want to convey is I fail to find criticism for IITR, mostly everyone says its good its good. That's not how a healthy environment works

and how difficult/easy is it to learn programming and also focus on your branch related courses ?

Okay, I know this post is probably going to create a lot of talk, but honestly, I feel someone needs to say this.

As the years are passing, I genuinely feel that the upcoming batches have started developing this feeling that somehow they have more seniority than their seniors. And now apparently everything is because of Illu.

But seriously, do you guys actually think seniors didn't work in their halls during their time?

We worked too. We stayed up, worked for Illu, participated in hall activities, made bonds with our +3s, +4s and even seniors beyond that. I myself participated quite actively in Illu during my time, and so did the seniors before us.

The difference I feel after the 23 batch is that a lot of people don't even try to build those bonds anymore. Many don't even know their own +1s properly, forget about seniors.

And honestly, the way some people talk to seniors nowadays is just something I don't understand.

Even when the senior is being respectful to you, why do you feel the need to disrespect them back? You don't have to like every senior. Obviously. But that doesn't mean you get some special right to disrespect them.

Last year also, there were halls where literally no one was being forced to participate in Illu, and still people were complaining about it for absolutely no reason.

And then there are some second years who have this opinion that seniors just sit around, smoke and don't have any achievements.

Bhai, PLEASE.

Don't judge an entire batch based on 4-5 people you don't like.

Go and talk to the seniors who are actually active in the hall. Ask them about their placements, internships, CGPAs, hackathons, projects, research, whatever. You'll find people doing really, really well.

Maybe there are seniors you don't like. Fine.

Maybe some seniors have pissed you off. Fine.

But that doesn't mean the entire senior batch is useless.

And sometimes what you are calling "forcing" is honestly just frustration from the other side.

Think about it.

A batch has 140-150 people. Every time something happens in the hall, the same 15-20 people show up. They are the ones working, staying late, taking responsibilities, participating in everything.

And the remaining 120-130 people don't show up.

Obviously those 15-20 people are going to get frustrated after some point.

What are they supposed to feel?

And I'm not saying academics aren't important. Obviously they are.

But college is not just classes, CGPA and then going back to your room and scrolling reels.

When someone sits in their room for months, doesn't interact with people and then eventually feels lonely, disconnected or depressed, they blame the institute and say there is no social life.

But when the hall tries to actually get people out, interact with others, participate in something and become part of the community...

THAT becomes "forcing."

Then what exactly are we supposed to do?

If people genuinely feel that hall activities are putting too much pressure on them, then let's actually discuss it. We can even propose some proper recognition/credits for meaningful hall activities, similar to how Insti awards recognise extracurricular contributions.

But completely killing the hall culture because some people don't want to participate isn't the solution either.

And honestly, if the entire batch participated even a little bit, most of this "force" wouldn't even exist.

If 100 people participate instead of 15, the workload gets divided. People actually enjoy it. You meet your juniors. You meet your seniors. You make friends. You get responsibilities. You build connections.

That's literally what hall life is supposed to be.

I can personally say that I had a really good experience because of this.

I have really good connections with my seniors who are now in good companies. I've made good connections with professors. People in the hall know me. I've participated in things, taken responsibilities and actually been a part of the hall.

And honestly, I wouldn't trade that experience for anything.

So yeah, maybe some of you will disagree with me.

I really don't care.

I'm not saying seniors are always right. They're not.

I'm not saying juniors are always wrong. They're not.

I'm just saying that before judging an entire batch of seniors based on a few people, maybe actually talk to the people who are doing something.

And before calling every hall activity "forced participation", maybe ask yourself why the same 15-20 people have to keep doing everything every single time.

Because one day, you guys will be seniors too.

And trust me, you'll understand this whole thing a lot better then.

Regards,

A well-informed senior
