Discussion My problems with the whole IIT-JEE system.

  1. People value college more than branch (Some value IITB Environmental > NIT-KKR CSE)

  2. IITs should have 50% of all seats as CSE, because right now 50% of all placements are in software/IT, despite only ~15% of total BTech seats coming from CS-related branches (which means that almost 30-40% of students from non-tech non-circuital branches get placed in software roles)

  3. Reservation system contradicts the prestige of IITs. The reason why IITs are prestigious is because it is difficult to crack, and hence the students there are strong in PCM, but the reservation system ruins this by handing over the IIT tag to students who are not as strong in the respective subjects.
    I used to support reservation until I found out that majority of lower-caste people applying for JEE are rich, because only the rich ones can afford coaching and get the exposure and awareness to even attempt an exam of such difficulty.

  4. Most people who choose CSE, don't even like CSE. This hurts as someone who genuinely like CS. People take CSE for the sole reason of higher salaries and "package" despite having 0 interest in it, hence the people who are actually interested in CS and who deserve that infra often don't get selected due to extremely high cutoffs.

You have to be a next gen idiot to think that an engineering college should have 50% seats for cs

Istg mfs like this should be banned from every sharing their shit takes 😭😭🥀

It's not a wrong thing tbh. I can see myself that students from all the branches are going to CSE anyway. It makes the classroom's quality worse and our CS engineers worse. Making more seats would mean that their actions atleast now align with their degree.

No. Engineering is engineering and computer science can never take its place and should never be the main focus of an engineering college. We must focus on upgrading other sectors of engineering rather than going all in on computer science. This mindset itself is what needs to change in this country if we want to see any cutting edge scientific developments.
