Hey everyone,

I’m joining an NIT this August and looking for a few consistent and curious people who are also starting programming from zero or beginner level. I currently know Python basics and a little cybersecurity.

The idea is to build a small active group where we can share daily goals, help each other, discuss projects/errors, stay motivated, and grow together during college. Preferably Indian freshers since our journeys and timelines will be similar.

If you’re genuinely interested in learning and improving together, feel free to comment or DM 🚀

Hey everyone,

I recently created a group for students who are:

Starting programming from zero

Entering college this year

Interested in coding, development, cybersecurity, AI, etc.

Looking for consistency and like-minded people

Most communities feel either too dead or too advanced, so the goal here is to build a small active group where people can:

Share daily goals / to-do lists

Discuss projects and errors

Learn together

Stay motivated

Network with other freshers

I’m personally joining an NIT this August and currently know Python basics + some cybersecurity fundamentals.

The server is still growing, but I’m setting up channels, resources, project sections, voice chats, and more.

If you’re serious about improving over the next few years instead of wasting college life, you’re welcome to join 🚀

DM/comment and I’ll send the invite.

Hey everyone,

I’m joining an NIT this August and looking for a few consistent and curious people who are also starting their programming journey from scratch.

Currently, I know:

Python basics

A little cybersecurity

Beginner-level problem solving

The idea is to make a small group where we:

Stay consistent

Share daily/weekly goals

Help each other

Discuss projects/resources

Push each other instead of procrastinating

Not looking for “experts only” — beginners are most welcome.

Just need motivated people who genuinely want to improve over the next 4 years.

Preferably Indian college freshers since our timelines and goals will match better.

If interested, comment or DM. Let’s build together 🚀

Here is my 3 years jee jouney. Sharing this to end my post jee trauma and to get frustation out ...sorry for my poor english .. advices are welcomed

Backstory :

i belong to a very poor family . I lived my childhood in a village in sitapur , UP. i was born very unhealthy and was malnutritioned from birth . upto 5 years from my birth , my joint family leads me to this hospital or that mandir .. for my cure .. in my childhood i faced near death experience 2-3 Times ... that experiences and traumas made me numb and complete inactive child . ( somehow that also made me stronger from inside ) . i never lived my childhood .. when other were playing . i was sitting near a tree afraid and lost.. So due to tensions between my mother and father's family we have to leave our village and shift to other city ( Raebareli ) .We only came with 500 or 1000 rupees to make a new start ...my father used to work as night watchmen and run a shop in day .. i dont know when he used to sleep .. my mother also work in a factor for 3000 per month .. only me and my sister remained at home .. complete alone , no neighbour ..that pain is still in my heart .... Somehow i managed to get into school .. tq to a person who helped us with accommodation and provided my parents a job ..And pressurize them to admit me to a school ..i was very introvert , bullied , neglected in school . so i got interested with studies ( note that till 1st class , i never utter a word in my school ,i was a lost child , teachers thought i can't speak ..)

till 4th class i never had a friend , i dont know how to enjoy ,i was always alone ..talking to myself ..

in 4th and 5th due to my good grades and calm nature .. i make 2 new friends .. and teachers started supporting me and take my side .in 4th and 5th i transformed my self..but alone ... i became head of my school ..pretty much interfere with everything .. from programmes to study to games..I was always giving speeches... those 2 years i gained a lot of knowledge and experience.. thx to my teachers

from class 6 to class 9 ..school changes , so new environment.. i was in high depression ... always compare my self .. lost in another world .. sit alone .. the only thing that kept me pushing is study .. i was pretty good at it..

Class 10 :

i got interested in coding and programming .. i used to spend hours self taughting me python ..reading documentations and books on technology..thx to my uncle who gave me his laptop ..

my then after researching i got to know that after 12 i wont get any job directly .. i have to persue degrees.. so after researching i got to know about B.tech is for programming and stuff . i researched about college , the only way out was to qualify jee and get into IITs.

i studies pretty hard in class 10 , and got 96.4 percentage , i was school topper along with learning and exploring about tech industry . and i was always learning new things about startups... reading lot of books .. practising stock market analysis and investing ..run a youtube channel ..created a blog website..and other similar things .. Thx to my class teacher who understand's me .. i was so much busy in learning new things that i stopped going school .. for last 6-7 months i only go school for 2-3 days in a week .. rest i was at home learning something new ..i never make notebook of any subject .. never written what my teachers told me .. i questioned everything from their methodology of teaching to their old content.. maked my own notes .. studied from yt...but somehow every teacher used to support me..apart from 1 or 2 .. i often have arguments with teachers .. but due to my calm and argumentive nature .. at the end they have to accept it ..

( Fun fact - most teachers that liked me used to hate me most in start ) .. Also till now i stopped going for friendship or shallow talks .. i often enjoys alone .. i used to sit with every student of my class turn by turn .. There was no best friend .nor any enemy

11th class :

I completed chapter 1 of chemistry , physics and maths already in class 10 at jee level ..started with PW ..there was no other options ... in 11 th i was in grind mod .. always solving problems .. I used to talk more less .. studied physics , chemistry and maths all the time ... so now no teacher was happy with me .. since i am only focusing on jee .. i somehow used to skip note making in class or write my own very short . teachers know me they , they dont say but used to taunt me .. i was busy in myself...

but in mid of 11th due to exhausion and lonelisness .. i shifted towards online entertainment and some how became p*rn addict & content addict .. and used to scroll yt 8-9 hours in starting to upto 11-12 hours at the end of class 11 .. nobody knows what i was becoming .. luckily due to my past hardwork and good iq .. i managed to score 93 percentage .. Revived myself in last month after seeing my family situation .. Also i was not focused on my batch Arjuna .. i used to study here and there .. Watched recorded instead of live ...never revised syllabus... that were some biggest mistakes ..but hoping for better i started class 12 .. now i was more alone and fighting alone ...due to low attendence and less focus on class .. i was becoming rebellion in eyes of teachers ..

class 12 :

got a good start .. able to get out of porn ( although effects are till now ) .. but made a biggest mistake of my prep that i started watching Laksya AIR batch .. i was not able to cope up with speed and the amount of homework ... i wish i should have stick to my Lakhsya batch .. so at the end of class 12 .. I studied at hiegher level but never grasped concepts .. able to solve jee advanced problems but stuck at jee mains level ...Mever make short notes , not practised que.. , uneven coverage of syllabus ..with 12 i got 93 percentile ..

maked decision of taking drop .. not having any other option

Drop year :

i was highly commited .. full of energy .. but something happens that still hurtme today ..

i hoined library nearby .. there was a girl preparing for neet .. so we used to start talking ( note this is my first time talking to a girl , coming from boys school after 6 years ]

so i was naturally excited and attracted .. she has same story as of my .. so i got more close to her .. but the thing is , reality was different , i was just her friend ( according to her ) , got to know more about her from other peoples in library ( sometime truth , sometime fake stories , she was in library from past 1 year i think ).. also i stopped studying .. i just wait for her call .. give her advices .. used to solve her problems .. listen to her. done everything that a simp can do .. but in this process i lost my self ... now i was just a support and validator of other person life .. so one day i gear all the courage .. i messaged her with all frustations and real talks that i hide from her , thinking that she was always right .. people against her were always wrong .. also her neet result was not great ... so she also have to isolate and move to new city ... i blocked( i don't k ow if i done right , i blam myself till now ) her thinking now i won't talk to her in future .. but i already wasted 3 months in this shit and other 1-1.5 months getting out of this shit . but imanaged somehow myself ..

Now i either do or die ... I decided to do something .. geared up all my energy and decide to go all in .. so i started studying like hell .. for going in the morning to library to coming to home .. i studies like crazy . used to take 2-3 breaks in between .. for 7-8 min and then again get to my desk

i remember ..one day i was so frustated but determined that i studies for 24 hours straight .. 8-10 break in between for 10-20 min .. and 1 hour walk ...

after getting 96 percentile in jee mains . i gained my lost confidence and was ready for war .. so i bet everthing . i used to skip brushing my teeth , and bathing .. usually 1-2 days ina week .. i only studeied day and night . almost not spoken for 2 months , even to my family members... only study and when i need break i walk. given 30+ mock tests in 2 months ...heighest score was 230 something ..( note that in first mock in jan i got 80 marks around )

before april attempt , i know i would get 98-99 percentile .. i was pretty sure that i would get 99+ easily ... but got 98.5 bad luck ( mathango wale paise bhi wapas nhi karenge yaar ab , (6S1 )) , i know i could have done more in april attempt .. but from all these frustations .. i finally accept it and i am more than happy right now ...

** I joined gym , day after mains .. and started doing programming again ..

( At the end everything got good , so i dont have any regrets , also i talked to her recently and asked sorry , both wished one another and became friends for life )

** pretty active at insta . i create content

** given a speech at my school recently as cheif guest .. sharing my journey

** featured in newspapers ( thx to my school active media department )

● My Lessons

-> Dont stop trying , even everything is aginst you

-> Dont campare yourself ( i compared myself with batch toppers and degraded myself )

-> Be alone , but also make some good friends

-> dont be so ideal , it is very hard to live as someone's role model

-> Get sometime for yourself

-> dont limit yourself , be shameless

-> dont fight with words

-> learn to be avg. . be hapoy with that

-> dont crave so many things , be humble but not emotionally foolish .

( waiting for your side of story , u can share your own .. or comment on some part of mine and A good advice is always welcomed )

I’m looking for a college experience that prioritizes a high-growth environment over fancy infrastructure. My goal is to build startups or join high-risk ventures to gain maximum experience rather than chasing financial stability. I’m also considering moving abroad for higher studies to scale these ventures. (i got 98.5 percentile would be getting in csab round, 3328 EWS) - This post will be more biased towards CSE not college in general.

​I’d appreciate your insight on a few things:

​1. Higher Education

​Are professors generally supportive when it comes to providing Letters of Recommendation (LORs) for students aiming for foreign universities? How often students go for foreign?

​People from this college get offcampus placements? So is % placements greater than 90 in CSE and IT including offcampus good placements) ..what is median package of both?

​2. Hackathons

​How frequent and competitive are they? I’m eager to participate in as many as possible. Codechef, leetcode competitions among college peers?

​3. Clubs & Societies

​What is the process for forming one, and how much "politics" should I expect within student organizations? Is there non-bengali prejudice (I'm from UP)?

​4. Student Culture

​Do people generally engage in extracurriculars and innovation, or is the focus strictly on campus placements? ... Do alumni connects between themselves and good ties with college?

​5. Support for Ventures

​Since I already have connections in industry and done some of coding projects (not professionally but i have working experience and i am better than avg. in python and LINUX and web dev., #more of vibe coding), I’m looking for a driven crowd. Is the mindset there geared toward building things and exploring?

​6. Flexibility & Autonomy

​How lenient are the attendance rules for national competitions? Also, if I wanted to independently organize tech fests or competitions using my own network, would I face much resistance from the college?

​7. Campus life and infra

​ Also, is it safe and allowed to roam around the campus at night? I’m curious about nearby places for short trips and whether students usually go out and travel together. How’s the peer group overall and the general culture around hanging out or planning trips? I’d also like to know about the major fests/events (their names and when they usually happen).

​8. Future Potential

​How much is gap, we future juniors can cover to get this college new heights ... what are major problems that we as coming students community can improve and manage..

​9. Expectation

​What you guys (seniors) expect from us (batch of 30)?

​10. Top 5 Pros and Cons

​Lastly, what would you say are the top 5 pros and cons you’ve personally experienced during your time there?

11 . My personal que is what should i prefer NIT agartala CSE or iiest shibpur CSE?

7.Campus life and infra -

I’ve heard that the infrastructure isn’t that great, so how is it actually in reality? Also, is it safe and allowed to roam around the campus at night? I’m curious about nearby places for short trips and whether students usually go out and travel together. How’s the peer group overall and the general culture around hanging out or planning trips? I’d also like to know about the major fests/events (their names and when they usually happen). Lastly, how are the hostels, and will the new 1000-seater accommodation be available for freshers this year?

8. Future Potential : how much is gap , we future juniors can cover to get this college new heights ... what are major problems that we as coming students community can improve and manage ..

9.. *Expectation* : What you guys ( seniors ) expect from us ( batch of 30 ) ?

10 .. Lastly, what would you say are the **top 5 pros and cons** you’ve personally experienced during your time there?

( edit - i promise that if i and my peers get into this college , i would work very shit to get this college its golden era back , i just need support of your seniors )
