IIT Madras, Chennai - community

Hey guys i am stuck between a few options, any help would be appreciated my family income is low like 2lpa and got 97% in boards getting NEHU Shillong through jee mains problem is placements are below avg what should i do? iitm bs online degree or gate ece? or should i go with thapar but its expensive mods please don't remove ????????????

Confused what to choose between IITB Civil vs IIT Indore EE vs IIT KGP Mech vs IITK Chem for 2025 admission. Want opportunities in Software companies so hoping that old IIT tag could help even after studying in core branches. Or should I strictly go for circuital branches only like IIT Indore EE? Kindly suggest.

hello there, idk what i made but yeah i made something for you all, a problem which i faced during my jee prep phase. i didnt had any proper source of understanding a topic was too lazy to make short notes didnt had enough time to note down 100s of formulas and then revise them so keeping all that in mind i made something, ik its but maybe by ur reviews i can make it better and something that can actually help your learning journey be easy here's the link [https://iit-jee-ai-teacher.streamlit.app/](https://iit-jee-ai-teacher.streamlit.app/) drop down ur feedback in the comment box

What are the subjects required for 75% criteria for boards? Is pcm + english + optional subject compulsory or we can choose our best 5 subjects?(excluding p/c/m) the sources online are confusing as well. Has anyone taken admission in NIT/IIIT/IIT with his preference of subjects for 75% criteria?

# My Background: * I'm a **partial dropper** — still enrolled in a strict college where attendance and discipline are tightly monitored. * At the same time, I'm preparing for **JEE 2026** (Mains + Advanced), trying to give it my best shot. * I'm also registered for **NIOS Class 12th** (because I missed out on regular boards due to personal reasons). * On top of that, I've enrolled in the **IIT Madras BS Degree in Data Science and Programming**. So, in total, I'm trying to manage **three major academic paths**: 1. My current college course (due to pressure ) 2. NIOS Board Exams (to be eligible for JEE Advanced and have a proper 12th mark sheet) 3. JEE 2026 (my main goal — I want to crack it seriously) 4. IITM BS Degree (which I genuinely find interesting but it's also demanding) # The Problem: * **Time management is a mess** — lectures from college + assignments from IITM + NIOS books + JEE prep. * **Mentally exhausted** — I can't even figure out where to begin or what to prioritize. * **No proper guidance** — Everyone around me is either confused about my decision or telling me to "just pick one thing." * I'm scared that if I keep doing all of them halfway, I'll fail at everything. # What I Need: * How do I **prioritize** and manage these things together without burning out? * Is anyone else here juggling multiple academic tracks like this? * Would it be wise to **pause** one of these (like IITM or college) to focus on JEE + NIOS? * Is it even **realistic** to do all 3 well? Any advice, frameworks, or personal stories would mean a lot. I'm motivated to study, but I need a **realistic, focused plan** or guidance from those who've been in similar situations. Thanks in advance.

anybody who got into iit or decent college by following prayas ??

I'm currently in my second year of [B.Tech](http://B.Tech) in Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering at an IIT. Recently, I've been seriously thinking about preparing for NEET to pursue MBBS,(mainly due to concerns around job security)I'm feeling increasingly unsure about the future prospects of my current degree. The job market for engineers (especially specialized branches like bioengineering, seems quite unstable and limited)I'm unsure whether switching paths now is the right decision or if I should try to make the most out of my current program.What should I do? Any advice would be really helpful.My qualifications: 2nd year [B.Tech](http://B.Tech) student

Firstly a little background on me. I am a 2024 pass-out. I was amongst the state toppers in my X CBSE with 98.8%. I have done my schooling from DPS Ruby Park. I got 94.6% in XII CBSE (PCM Computer Science). My father had passed away from blood cancer while I was appearing for my board exams and my jee didn't really go well. I got into IIEST Shibpur Civil Engineering in 2024. I am really interested in Computer Sciences so I thought would be able to change my branch. I missed 3 of my 2nd sem exams for dengue fever and they won't allow me to appear for the branch change. (1st Sem SGPA 8.6/ would be able to easily get a CGPA of 8.8 if they allow me to sit for the exams before branch change) Since I had to study for my college, couldn't really focus on JEE, but can get into ECE, IIEST Shibpur and start afresh. I request your help in choosing what I should be pursuing now, CS in newer IITS like sonepat, kottayam etc..( I do have financial constraints) or ECE in IIEST Shibpur (can i pursue MS in CS abroad?) or Civil Engineering in IIEST (would save my year/can I move into CS later?). I just want to remind that I am really into computer science and have good knowledge in Python, DBMS, OOPS, HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT. My peers whom I mentored once are targeting the FAANG so there is that FOMO.

i only have 72% in my 12th boards (so NIT/lIT are not possible) and if i take a drop this year and give JEE mains 2026 and say score something decent. What are my options? Should i give improvement exam? or look forward to other colleges? if yes which colleges would you recommend
