Need the brutal truth about the reasearch scene?
Hey seniors,
I'm joining IEM CSE this year. My main plan is to go for an MS abroad right after graduation. I've read that having some published papers and strong LORs from teachers is super important if you want to get into a good university.
1.Can anyone give me a reality check on how the reasearch culture actually is here?
2.Are there teachers who actively help undergrads work on papers, or is it mostly just sticking to the regular syllabus?
3.Is it even possible to manage the strict attendence rules while trying to do extra research work or internships?
4.Any specific professors in the CSE dept I should definetly try to approach later on?
5.Do people from IEM usually go directly for MS abroad, or does almost everyone just focus on placements?
Any honest advice would be really helpful. Thanks!
