    3:46 How Mtech is different from Btech or GATE preparation( research-oriented, development of new way of thinking) 6:25 A true master ( an ability to learn the things he doesn't know, identity, diagnose and address his shortcomings) 7:11 Participation in Seminars (help you in development of soft skill, presentation skill) 8:22 Visit Library ( great place for Exploration & Exposition of your mind) 9:30 Interaction with Undergraduates ( mix freely, many things to learn from them) 11:40 Managing Inferiority complex ( GATE is not an easy Exam) 13:52 Level Up (programming skills, speaking skills) 15:00 Focus on your work not in placement (Karma Kiye ja Placement ki chinta mat kar ;) )

    Sir, big respect to you. My comment is long. Please be patient with me. _My background_ : I did my BTech graduation in mechanical engg from a govt college then came below 1500 rank in GATE Mechanical and got admission in IIT (one of the top 7 IITs of course ). Yes it is true I attempted GATE with focus on PSU jobs (middle class dilemma) but higher studies was also on the radar. I finally got a job in a non-core sector with a decent package but the motivation for higher studies died with the IIT experience I had. _My IIT experience_ : The moment I got into the course work the image of IIT which I had, all shattered. I discovered all the course work in IIT is nothing fancier than what we did in our college (to be precise , in a tier 2 college ). The main burning came in the final year. In the thesis work, I noticed most of the students in MTech are involved in a thesis work which has already been done by some other PhD students or their previous MTech students. There was no originality in thinking. Most of the work is run of the mill type rustic research papers with no industrial application or with economic viability. It seems the thesis work is being done by the students-professors because it has to be completed. There was no motivation to work on original thinking in the IIT. To my despair, I also found most of the professors are not helping the students at all. Students learn from the PhD seniors or by themselves. Professors usually take follow-up meetings every couple of weeks or one every month. In many cases students approach prof for help or to learn but they get nothing. I personally had experience of no help from prof (guide and co guide), many of my friends got no help as well. Actually if they get any help they get this from their lab seniors (PhD students who came from other colleges/NITs/new IITs). Many of my friends in my MTech batch will never turn towards PhD as we witnessed how pathetic the PhD situation is there in the top IITs itself. I have friends in PhD, MTech in other top IITs too. The culture is more or less the same. MTech/MS/PhD is like a self help type of 2/3/5 year curriculum. I believe there is no value addition to me (or any one passing from IITs) in technical knowledge because of studying at IIT. Only the tag of IIT helped me to get a job. At present there is lots of content education (even for the masters level) available on the internet which makes IITs redundant. _Solution_ : I believe you are active in the youtube space to assess the system better from the perspective of the student community and want to change it the best way possible. I'd like to suggest that you write a petition to the concerned ministry to pass a bill (or something like that) so that more and more private collaborations are done in thesis and PhD projects. Only a result oriented, for profit R&D activity will make the system excel. Many of my friends/seniors had way low GATE rank, to be qualified into an IIT. But they pursued higher studies abroad. They are in a better position in core MNCs now, where masters from top IIT will hardly get the chance. Here in India we are creating more and more competition (JEE/GATE etc etc) but the final product is nearly garbage !

    Thanks for sharing your experiences. However, I have had different experiences. Note that after completing my Dual Degree I completed my PhD at IIT Kharagpur itself. This brought me in close contact with the PhD student community. Right now I am supervising PhD students. So I have the perspective from both sides. And I can say with confidence that it is very much possible to do very good quality PhD work from India that is appreciated globally. Of course there are going to be challenges. Regarding supervision, in any kind of research work, the main impetus and drive has to come from the student himself. The supervisor is not there to hand hold the students rather to share ideas, give pointers, and take difficult calls on the overall direction of the research. Above all, it is to mentor his students so that they can become full-fledged independent researchers themselves. And, I sm sorry that you had the experience contrary to all this but trust me, such kind of mentorship does exist. But at the end of the day, the onus is on the student. And, trust me also when I say this, sll the top PhD candidates at top universities abroad display this all-important trait of being fiercely independent early on.

What about you have to take care of your family in that money??? What about devolped nations also have free education. And good stifend....and you can do part time jobs of good wages... Do our parents give us that independent way lifestyle??... Is financial stability is not an issue tell me?? The way prices of things going high... The age when a person completing his/her phd don't u think indian parents demands are different... Yeah be independent.... Then provide me some financial stability......and also provide some girls in mechanical department... Because Tinder doesn't work in campus girls/boys ratio is less.....ok for one sec I will say no I will give sacrifice all things and put my energy and time into it... But after phd again discrimination... I am not doing this gambling 🤣...

However, at the time a student is considering starting on a PhD I always make this clear that if there are financial constraints in the family then starting a PhD is not a good idea. And, all developed nations do not have free education (students in the US are under great debt due to high fees).

I feel much positive now, that what I felt over the last couple of weeks isn't uncommon. I guess and really hope this covid stuff goes away and I can dive deep into the tides of Master's, keeping aside the online domain all the time. Thank you Sir.

Please address diplomatically but head-on the "uncomfortable" issues which research scholars often face with their PhD Guide/ Advisor.... How can research scholars cope/ deal with issues of incompatibility with their PhD Guide/ Advisor in terms of beliefs and attitudes towards research and publishing/ working styles/ etc...

How's MS different from MTech, the pros and cons. The reason I'm requesting this information is that most of the students opting for these courses have got "low gate scores" which is why they tend to undermine the potential of MS by research courses.

It will be a valuable resource if Prof. jc creates a PLAYLIST on KZread with a series of videos which address the various dilemmas which PhD research scholars in India face, such as: - Deciding whether to pursue a PhD or take up an IT services or core sector job after BE/ BTech/ MTech? - Choosing a PhD Research area, topic and supervisor? - Dealing with expectations of the PhD Guide/ Advisor and Committee? - Coping with rejection of papers submitted to conferences and journals? - Deciding whether to pursue Post-Doc in a foreign university with a hope of getting selected as Faculty in an IIT, vis-a-vis joining as Faculty in a tier Institute immediately after PhD?

Currently in this winter break i am reading all those stuff which i were supposed to read during my last sem. But what i have experienced is, the same things which were like completely out of this world for me during those days now i am getting them clearly. I can assure you this is not because i am try to work through them from a long enough time and now i am getting those concepts, no it is surely not the case. It is just happening i am now more relaxed and enjoying the learning process more and more. You talk only real experiences of students so i thought i should share this with you.

    First of all I want to thank you for making such great videos related to academics. Sir I will request you to make a video on how to prepare for GATE. Specially with such a high demand in IT industries students are losing interest in core subjects. Moreover students who are wanting to pursue a career in the core industry and trying to focus on GATE, are getting deviated often by the lucrative offers of IT industry and surroundings. So how to keep oneself motivated in such case to carry on the studies of GATE?

    Sir, thank you so much for your esteemed advice. I graduated from Jadavpur University CE in 2021. For this 1 year, I have been working as a RA under an eminent professor in IIT-BHU. I wish to do a PhD from the top 50s. Would you recommend me going after GATE and joining an IIT and complete my masters, or should I spend a couple of years over here and do some quality work and then directly apply for a PhD ? Thank you.

    Respected sir, I have a bachelor's and a master's degree. I put all my efforts and somehow I managed to get into NIT for masters after GATE. Never got any guidance and again the same thing happened, my time got wasted. Tried to Learn new things myself during COVID but the frustration has made me to decide not to opt for PhD. I am grateful that atleast I have a job but my salary is 20000. I stay alone and I keep thinking that all these efforts over the years for this. No value No money .... I am a Fea engineer now but I am demotivated to study anymore or any brainstorming for this because I am not getting anything in return. At this point, I hope someone could guide me and tell me what to do . I have a family and I have responsibilities but it brings tears in my eyes when I realize that I can't fullfill dreams of the people I love and I can never earn good anymore I wish I had not made promises to my mother when I was a small kid These things are very difficult to share too. Just putting a fake smile everyday but deep down I am dead. My friends who chose to do MBA are in better position now. I loved mechanical engineering but I was wrong.

    I know of someone a couple of years junior to me who did not do any engineering studies and at the very beginning of his career faced quite a lot of hardships even physical ones. But he kept at it tenaciously, and now he is one of the most valued employees in that company ... rising fast with healthy boosts in salary at regular intervals. So, just because you are starting in a small way doesn't mean that you will be stuck there for life. Please try to renew your enthusiasm a bit ... I know it is much easier said than done especially when you have to face the day to day hardships. But it will get better. If you give up now, it won't.

    Every institute has its own specific system. I think it will be better if you explore the webpage of your library of NIT Trichy. Or, even better, once you get to the campus (assuming you are still in online mode), visit the library and talk to the people in-charge there. You cannot imagine how happy they become when they find a student of this generation taking active interest in exploring the resources that they work so hard to maintain.

    I am preparing for GATE this year, not because I need a PSU job or admission to any IIT, but I just wanted to check on the list of really excelling in a competitive exam, which I failed to do in 10+2. Well at least that was my motivation until November when I bought a GATE question bank, picked up the chapter on the deflection of beams, took "10 mins" to solve "one" question on simply supported beam with UDL, and when I came up with that (5WL^4/384EI), I was like I have to remember this? Seriously? My eyes widened, as I looked at the thickness of the book, with 20+ subjects (courses) with god knows how many more formulas to keep in mind. It also surfaced the fact that how the 4-5 years of IIT has rusted our quick problem-solving skills, how the use of calculators has made us so dependent to check even the basic arithmetic/trigonometric results, and how the lack of academic competitive vibes (debatable whether necessary or not) in the campus has reduced our zeal to perform up to our potentials. (I should also mention that they can completely get back to that JEE Mode if the size of the prize is appealing enough, e.g., Placements!) Having been in courses with the GATE-qualifiers and speaking in general, I can indeed testify that they are much more serious, motivated, and polished than the dual degree students, no matter what the results may say. Kudos to them! P.S: I love how you have passionately turned down the phone receiver while recording this, hope the viewers also get to know about your poetry some time! :D

    As always, it is a pleasure to read through your very, very coherently written thoughts. I also appreciate how, as one of our top Dual Degree students, you have developed a proper respect for the GATE-qualified M.Tech students who are definitely much better prepared than others in terms of the important problem set ups. In the old curriculum (of which you were a part), we had given more emphasis towards the kind of problem solving (at least in Mechanics of Solids) which was perhaps a bit more oriented towards a research career ... and that is not well suited for the majority of the students. The new curriculum Mechanics of Solids has been made significantly more in sync with the global standards that prepares for a professional engineering career. The hope is that an academically serious student, having gone through this curriculum would need less than "ten minutes" for "one problem"! :) And, I know there could be serious arguments both for and against this sort of curriculum revision because we have already gone through those passionately last year. Ah, someone noticed the phone receiver (had forgotten to put it down in my earlier videos). And, where did you see the poems?
