Help me choose a college and course with priorities for acads, extracurriculars, and lax discipline
myquals: 12th PCM+CS 97% aggregate JEE Main: 45k (97.04%) JEE Adv: 27k BITSAT: 290/390 SAT: 1550 DASA/CIWG applicable I got 4y B.Tech CSE (gross course fee: 48L) in the second iteration of IIITH DASA from 5y B.Tech CSE + MSc Computational Natural Sciences. I was aiming for BITS-H Mathematics and Computing but since cutoffs last year were 293 I'm not confident. I have another option in the BITS-G Electronics and Computer Engineering with possibility of Mathematics as minor. I have also received advice that M.Sc Mathematics with CS may be a good option. I also have BEng Hons CS at University of Edinburgh but I am less inclined due to high cost (2Cr aggregate) and the poor job market as well as being so far away. My priorities in my education are 1. Good integration of Maths and CS 2. Campus freedom (minimal curfews, long hair and beards, kettles and space coolers) 3. Electives and extracurriculars (competitive mathematics and programming, swimming, debate, coding culture, etc.) One of my problems is that I have already paid first semester fees for IIITH (about 6L). If I was to get a refund on 1st, 15th, or 19th July, I would get 4.5L, 3L, and 60k back respectively. I would only get 1st iteration results on the 14th, as per the tentative date. In reality I expect a delay to occur and hence I would lose 3L before knowing the results of the 1st iteration. In all other cases, cost is not an issue. Thank you for your time.
