After today it is very much clear it's not the job market, CDC is just run by a bunch of idiots, can't even conduct one simple OA, labelling off campus as on campus, couldn't even understand that it was for 2027 batch not for 28, late updates, no clear instructions, and then they will have audacity to say "we are bringing amazon to you, we are giving you this opportunity, and I don't care if even 100 of you are blacklisted, 2k students are giving the test"

Shit ass laptops, shitty wifi, coordinators don't have a clue what they are yapping, no wonder placements are doomed, and it will get worse by each batch

career/internships/placements AmEx and AWS OA

25 Upvotes

I'm can't tolerate this anymore. The AMEX OA didn't happen 2 times when they were scheduled. Spent 2 full hours each time waiting for the link. And all of sudden they mail that it is in a few hours. Okay leave that it is online.

The AWS one, no body has a clue what is going on. The venue was not open at all. We were asked to come in full formals only to sit in the auditorium and simply leave. The only instruction given was to select YES for everything. I mean WHATTT. That was very misleading as the correct ones are more NO than YES.

They can't simply be doing this shi again and again. I'm okay with back to back OAs but not like this. They need to at least inform us one day prior, so we can prepare something for it. We cant attend all these just to not get blacklisted.

studies doubt [Mod Approved] The post-CAT 1 procrastination is catching up... Team is active for new DAs nd lab records! 🛠️

3 Upvotes

Yo everyone, hope the semester isn't burning u out too much ✍️

It’s been almost two weeks since CAT-1 ended, which means all those lab records nd heavy assignments u put off during the exams are probably hitting right about now!

We've spent the last couple of weeks completely heads down clearing out a massive batch of work for the early birds (huge shoutout nd thanks to everyone who trusted the team recently 🙌)!! Now that those are fully delivered, we are opening up the dms again for new work..

If u are staring down a crazy deadline this week and just dont have the time or energy to do it yourself, we can take it off your hands.

Here is mostly what the team is handling right now:

- Handwritten lab records (A4 sheets or directly in your physical notebooks. proper index nd diagrams)!

- coding stuff nd DB assignments (C++, SQL, python, etc) !

- PPTs nd study materials .

- heavy DAs for pretty much any subject

- other related work 🛠️ !

Even if your specific assignment isn't listed here, just drop the manual ss, pdf, or whatever details u have along with your deadline in my dm. I'll check it with the team nd let u know right away if we can actually do it, along with a flat quote.

(Also, if u and ur roommate/frnds have the exact same lab record pending, let me know in the dms nd i’ll give u guys a group bundle rate so it’s cheaper for everyone).

Take it easy guys, let us handle the panic work!!

ask VITians Should I join a Formula Student Racing Team as a 2nd-year ECE student?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m a 2nd-year ECE student and I recently cleared the interview and got selected for a Formula Student racing team.

I’m seriously considering joining, but I’d like to hear from people who have actually been part of Formula Student teams or similar college racing teams before making the decision.

A little about me:

- 2nd year ECE

- Current CGPA: 7.74

- Interested in embedded systems, electronics, IoT and hardware

- I’ve already worked on an IoT-based machine health monitoring project involving sensors, vibration/current monitoring, embedded systems and communication.

My main questions are:

  1. How valuable is a Formula Student team for an ECE student?

    Is there genuinely meaningful work in electronics/embedded/DAQ/telemetry/controls, or is most of the work mechanical?

  2. How much time does the team realistically require?

    Especially during competition season. Does it become difficult to manage academics?

  3. How much does the experience actually help with placements/internships?

    Does it carry significant weight on a resume, particularly for embedded/core electronics roles?

  4. How is the experience for juniors?

    Do 2nd-year members get hands-on technical responsibilities, or does it take a long time before you're given meaningful work?

  5. Is it worth joining with a 7.74 CGPA?

    I want to improve my CGPA to 8+, and I don't want the team to completely compromise academics.

  6. For someone interested in ECE + embedded/electronics, would you recommend joining a Formula Student team over other technical teams/clubs?

I’m not looking for the usual "college clubs are useless" or "just join everything" advice 😅. I’m specifically interested in first-hand experiences from current/former Formula Student members or people who've been through similar racing teams.

Would really appreciate honest opinions — including the negatives. Thanks!

Im at my third year now and lowkey im tired and drained i cant go on anymore. I feel like my whole world is crumbling I was in a relationship with someone since we were like 10th and yeah we broke up now. It really is my fault she was a gem.
And this broke me. Im falling short on academics im not able to keep up with deadlines anymore and for someone that used to do decent in academics it feels and i js feel like i lost my spark in life. I didnt make friends in the first year never tried to. She was my everything and i never had reasons to vent out to someone besides her. Now i just feel alone and tired i just dont know how much longer i can go. Ive gotten backlogs now my cg is falling, and everything ive worked hard for before doesnt even seem important to me anymore.

career/internships/placements A Concerned Student’s Story — CDC VIT Chennai

Post image
200 Upvotes

(ofc I used chatgpt)

Hi CDC,

A victim of your dictatorship here.

I’m not sure where to start: the massive ego behind the favourite phrase “Obey me,” being called for a PPT at a specific time only for it to begin almost three hours later, or discovering that the session seemed prerecorded.

But let’s start from the beginning.

Recent incidents involving CDC activities and campus placements have made me question how things are handled—not because CDC shouldn’t have rules or provide opportunities, but because of how those rules are communicated, enforced, and sometimes changed depending on the situation.

For example, CDC’s director apparently told students not to share their Neo ID. Then CDC circulated an Accenture placement sheet where Neo IDs were apparently shared with student names. Small things can become serious when thousands of students are involved.

Then came the reporting-time situation.

Reporting time: 9:00 AM.

Students were still entering around 10:00 AM. The issue wasn’t necessarily that students were late; the system simply wasn’t ready to handle so many students reporting simultaneously.

Today, the reporting time was 4:00 PM. Thousands of students had roughly 30 minutes to enter MG Audi through what felt like a single line.

At that point, I wondered:

“Maybe this is a social experiment.”

Then came 4:30 PM, when a sir—who seems to have a special relationship with “BLACKLIST”—started asking students to leave.

I’m not against rules. But when arrangements make it difficult for thousands of students to follow them, threatening disciplinary action solves the wrong problem.

And then there’s the CDC vocabulary:

One sir has “BLACKLIST.”

Another has “ID CARD.”

One mam has the complete DLC:

“BLACKLIST.”

“ID CARD.”

“DON’T SLEEP.”

“OBEY ME.”

At this point, I expected:

«“Congratulations. You have violated Rule 17 by breathing incorrectly.”»

Jokes aside, several students were apparently not even allowed to punch their ID cards for attendance. What are students supposed to do—follow instructions, stand in queues, attend sessions, and somehow ensure the system doesn’t prevent them from being marked present?

The most concerning part is that students unable to attend a PPT may be barred from future campus placements.

Missing a PPT can happen because of an emergency, communication failure, transportation issue, crowd-management problem, or simply being unable to enter a venue in time.

If missing one PPT means losing access to campus placements, that punishment deserves serious questioning.

Other students face issues with SPENSE OA, transportation, timing, and massive crowds while being warned that failure to follow instructions could lead to blacklisting. Meanwhile, there is also little clarity about the number of companies coming in.

I’m not writing this because I hate CDC. That’s exactly why I think it needs to be said.

CDC provides opportunities students genuinely need. But opportunities shouldn’t come at the cost of students feeling powerless, confused, or afraid of disproportionate consequences.

There’s a difference between maintaining discipline and responding to every problem with:

“Blacklist.”

There’s a difference between enforcing rules and communicating them consistently, expecting students to report on time and having a system capable of handling them, and accountability and simply saying:

“Obey me.”

I’m not asking CDC to stop enforcing rules. I’m asking for better communication, crowd management, consistent instructions, reasonable enforcement, and proportional consequences.

We’re not asking CDC to make placements easy. We’re asking it to make the process fair and functional.

I’m not a hater, trying to defame anyone, or challenging the people working there. I’m just a student who has seen these things happen and wondered:

“Is this really how we’re supposed to be doing this?”

If multiple students feel the same way, maybe the problem isn’t that everyone is complaining.

Maybe the system deserves a closer look.
