$\textbf{IIT Guwahati Admission GATE 2019}$

$\text{For those sending representatives to IITG}$

I think you would have got mail from IITG regarding what all things to send with the representatives.

  1. Self-attested photocopies of documents are enough.
  2. Photos need to be there as mandated by IITG.

Then, in case of tie break for GATE score they will look at B.Tech. Percentage.

If you have only CGPA, then they will multiply it by $10$ to get percentage. So, do not try to get a percentage equivalent as this will mostly lower your B.Tech. percentage which can be significant in case of a tie.

$\text{Request to IITG current/future students}$

Usually IIT people have good common sense and hardly cause any inconvenience to students which happens in normal colleges. But the IITG counseling for CSE department is a real blackmark here. I dont think there can be any valid reasoning for the same as mostly the parents and representatives will be attending the counseling as most students will be having interviews/exams else where. Even otherwise there is nothing good happening there-- do you really expect any under graduate to get attracted to the Research happening in IITG in $1-2$ hours? Guwahati is a nice place and IITG has a nice campus -- but please do understand that many people cannot afford the travel there especially at short notice. Also, more than $60\%$ of those invited to IITG won't be offerred any seat even. If you really want to show the campus -- please do take a video shoot and upload in Youtube.

I request all the current IITG students and future students who are now going for counseling to ensure that this is the last time this event happens -- because it is completely useless and more over causing a lot of hardships to many. If you do not care for people, there is absolutely nothing useful in any research.

$\text{Representative for Counseling}$

Is anyone looking for a representative for IITG Counseling and between ranks $215$ and $450$ in general or $500-1200$ in OBC?

$\text{IITG Experience}$

Experience shared by Samujjal Das:

This post is specifically targetted to rank holders between $220$ to $350.$ This year and last year, I have seen people asking about IIT Roorkee and IIT Guwahati. But, I have never seen them asking about the other $5$ old IITs. I don't know the reason of this confusion. I have not seen JEE rankers with so much confusion as the GATE rankers. Since I am about to end my Masters within the next $7$ days from IIT Guwahati, this post is only about IIT Guwahati. I hope to cover all the key areas honestly.

  • 1. RESEARCH AREAS - Till the last year, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems and Formal Verification were the research areas where professors were inclined to. Recently, IITG has seen a shift into the areas of Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Data Mining. This may be a reason for the need to launch a new "M.Tech in Data Science" discipline.
  • 2. GEOGRAPHY - IITG is situated by the banks of river Brahmaputra. The city is on one side of the river and the campus is on the other side. The campus is well connected to the city. You can go to the city either by Ferry, or you can avail the hourly free college bus service.
  • 3. CLIMATE - The region where IITG thrives in enjoys a good climate throughout the year. Since it is away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you will notice a stark change in climate when you cross the river and go to the city. Winter stays here for long (November to March). May - September are the summer months. During these months, you may face some problems in your hostels, due to humidity.
  • 3. EXTERNAL DISTURBANCES - Guwahati in itself is a peaceful city. There may be some news of disturbances in Assam, but those are near the borders. "Assam is unsafe" - this quote has now become a part of chain reaction, which started years ago, and people are still believing in it. The campus is very much peaceful and very safe.
  • 4. CAMPUS - The campus is the $3^{rd}$ largest campus in terms of area after IIT Kharagpur and IIT Kanpur. Also, it's one of the most beautiful and cleanest campuses in the country. The campus has two small hills and two lakes (one of the lakes has a small island). You simply won't get enough of the campus even after spending 2 years here.
  • 5. HOSTEL - There are $10$ boys hostel, $2$ girls hostel and $1$ married scholar hostel. All the boys hostel are single-seater hostels. Cleaners do their jobs every day in an effort to keep the hostels clean. Every hostel has $1 (\text{or}\: 2)$ juice center(s), $1 (\text{or}\: 2)$ canteen(s), $1$ reading room, $1$ sports room, $1$ TV room, $1$ stationery shop, $2$ pantries (if the boarders decide to cook their own food) and $1$ mess.
  • 6. MESS FOOD - The hostel messes serve both North Indian and South Indian foods. The basic mess menu consists of veg items. There are live counters where you can get side items like chicken, fish, eggs, paneer, curd, fried rice. You have the option for mess subscription i.e. if you don't like the food in your mess, you have the option to subscribe to the mess of some other hostel with no extra charge. Zomato is active in the campus, if you want to order food from outside restaurants.
  • 7. INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES - Few companies like IBM, Microsoft, CISCO etc conduct tests to hire masters students as interns from the campus. They also offer PPO to the good performers during the internship. $2$ of our batchmates got PPO after internship.
  • 8. PLACEMENTS - Placements in IITG are exactly how placements in old IITs should be. Talking about the placements of $2019$ batch, $220$ companies registered for placements across all departments. Out of these, $80$ companies allowed B.Tech CS people to sit and out of these $80$, around $60$ companies allowed M.Tech CS people to sit. In our batch, the strength was $41.$ Out of these, $3$ people were ineligible to sit for placements (low CPI), $1$ didn't sit because she had to do Ph.D. Rest all $37$, who appeared for placements got placed within the first $5$ days of the placement season. [Median CTC $: 22.5$ LPA, Average CTC $: 23.3$ LPA]

I hope that I have been able to address some of your doubts about IITG. It will be nice if someone from IITR can do it for them.

$\text{IITG Counseling on May 15.}$

Based on previous year stats general candidate lower than $450$ rank and OBC lower than $1200$ surely can skip going for it because there is almost no chance of getting admit.
Also, general with a rank better than $210$ and OBC within $500$ also can skip because they will be getting direct admit in IITM/Kgp
Edit:
Being safe : Ranks $210-450$ should attend counseling in general category.
If you're taking risk: Ranks $225-340$ must attend counseling in general category.

Experience shared by Ruturaj Mohanty: 

I got many questions from people asking for IIT-D MS program. So i have summarised everything you need to know about the MS program and also compared it with the M.Tech program. It's important to choose your stream wisely knowing all the consequences. In the end it's you who should make the decision. Good luck !!!

$\text{AI Interview}$

Experience shared by Jayant Priyadarhi:

  • Interviewer - What is your favorite subject?
  • Me - Linear Algebra and probability
  • 1. Go to the board and Draw 2 independent vectors in the plane of the board.
  • Me - drawn
  • 2. After I drew. Why do you think these 2 are independent?
  • Me - Because had they been dependent, they would have been on the same line.
  • 3. Prove the statement you just made
  • Me - Proved.
  • 4. They dictated 2 A,B matrices where few rows were interchanged . Give a matrix X such that multiplying it to one gives another. Also, write the equation.
  • 5. What are eigen vectors and what is their geometric significance?
  • Me - told
  • 6. How will you derive the characteristic equation explain with reference to null space of the matrix?
  • Me - told.
  • 7. If the matrix is symmetric , what can u say about its eigen vectors?
  • Me - told only one fact and they were expecting 2. Gave some more info but couldn't reach the second fact. By this time I wanted the inflow of linear algebra questions to end, and it ended thankfully and the profs looked satisfied.
  • After this 2-3 minutes of easy questions from dynamic programming like give an example of repeating sub problems and all.. And finally I was told to write a function which returns the next biggest number in an array given an element of the same array. It was simple and I wrote in O(n) .. they asked me about complexity and I told. Then I was asked to leave.
  • Hope this helps..
  • thank u all of u ..

Also lets discuss among ourselves here before contesting, we might get some more insight as to what others think of our query. And, please don’t support or negate someone’s view, just because you marked the same answer. Please reply genuinely on what your opinion is. I think that will be of some good help to everyone.
