Hello all!
As the title suggests, what I shall write
would be my personal views and do not
reflect that of the general public. The
observations (of mine) may be a little
biased but do hold true. Life @ IIT Delhi
will be the best part of your life till now.
People say ' Jannat Hai IIT Delhi'. So be ready
for the enormous fun!
Hostel Life :
Hostel life is the best part of IIT Delhi.
You have good friends, opportunities and
the freedom to enjoy all of your days.
Further there are Inter-hostel cultural
activities, sports activities, poltu etc. All
these activities are like 'Sone Pe Suhaga' to
the hostel life. You have good interaction
with people from other hostels as well.
People do whatever they love to do in the
hostel, like watching movies, playing games,
practising Drama or Group Dance, or
magging (Studying)! Every day you will
find some or the other BRCA activities going
on - indulge yourselves in the ones you like.
One more thing about hostel life is that you
will find more and more of your friends
getting commited day by day week by week.
If you want to be one (commitied), hurry!
Because the line is so long, even some of
your (male!) seniors might also be in queue
for a small number of seats! :P
Electrical Dept. Life:
Life at Electrical Dept is full of
Equations, but full of fun as well! The work
is interesting and you will never feel bored
of it, though you may feel lazy instead!
Electrical Dept. is a broad dept. with a lot
of dimensions to explore. Broadly speaking
Electrical Dept. can be categorized in these
categories:
1. Information and Communication : This
category deals with stuff like
Communication Channels, Signal
Processing, Signal Modulation etc.
2. Integrated Electronics and Circuits :
This category deals with designing basic
transistor level efficient circuits, designing
IC's,chips etc.
3. Power, Machines and Power
Electronics (EE2) : This category deals with
designing various kind of motors,
transformers, power equipments etc.
4. Control and Automation : This category
deals with designing Feedback Control
devices, devices with required response etc.
Faculty at Electrical dept. is good. There are
many professors who know a lot and teach
in a good way. Besides that, there are a few
professors who don't teach well but at least
they have good knowledge.
Time Management and Planning :
You have a lot of activities,
opportunities to go for but not a lot of time
to do all you wish to do. So do some
introspection, think about what's good for
you, what makes you happy and choose that
activity / opportunity, and don't just follow
what others are doing or what the crowd is
moving towards. Decide what is good for
you, i.e. Is it the cultural activities like
Dance, Dramatics etc. that you would like
to pursue, or is it management work or
policy making work or research work that
you would love to pursue, and start putting
balanced efforts for all the things that you
need/love to do.
Have fun and don't make life boring
with only academics but don't leave
academics completely at the cost of other
activities as well. Your CGPA is also quite
important for your career. It is generally
seen that people become careless and loose
their CGPA in the first year, and then later
on they try to improve it (by studying
difficult things). It would be better to have
a good CGPA in the first year (by studying
easy things) and then after working on
reducing it! Getting a good CGPA is not a
difficult thing, the only thing you need to
do is attend all the classes and listen
carefully, ensure before coming to a class
that you are clear with the things taught in
the previous class with a REGULAR effort of
not more than 1-2 hours each day. If you
do this seriously no one can stop you from
having an A grade in that course.
Career :
To choose a career, don't follow the
money, your peers or the crowd in general.
Understand what work is good for you,
what work makes your life more full of fun
and fulfillment, and pursue that. At the end,
when you retire and have your
grandchildren around you, you ought to feel
that you have completely enjoyed this
journey of life. Take pride in whatever you
do, because after all, it is your decision and
future!
Have Fun!
