"Most of the great memories were about making the best of a bad situation" - Story of every indian not born in super rich families, not just specific to IITs.
Care to elaborate?
@@roshnikulkarni854 E.g.
1. Playing hand cricket with friends at school with a ball made of polybags and rubbers - a good memory, but because we didn't have money to buy a lot of balls, plus school teachers would confiscate personal balls, plus the sports teacher would only give one soccer ball or volley ball or basket ball to a class of 30 buys.
2. watching crappy movies on sunday at 2 pm on DD1/DD2 and having that as a good memory, because cable/VHS were privileges.
3. memories of travelling by train with an unconfirmed ticket while sitting on floors.
These are just a few examples of some funky experiences growing up. These are all good memories, but really were just ways to cope up with a bad situation! I am sure if you think about it carefully, you will realize that a lot of your memories, unless you are born and brought up in a fairly affluent and privileged family, would turn out to be the same!

The fact that documentaries like these never reach the audience they're made for- Parents nd Society, but we watch these, feel the pressure and then move on to study because we have accepted this life is the most heart wrenching thing
This is soooooo fucking true!! Truer words haven't been spoken! My hands are literally shivering out of anxiety while typing this reply...enough gotta get back to study now!
ACCURATE AF!
Hii army 💜 😂😂
True Af.But Eventually We Will Become Parents And We Will Make Sure That Our Kids Doesn't Trap In Same Bubble.
The acceptance is a horror story of reality...
As a medical student, I wish someone made something of this sort for us but then that will turn out to be so depressing that nobody will watch it.
you know I wonder, even a glimpse of what are healthcare workers are going through right now! The hurdles they must be facing everyday during this time must be horrifying.
It will be a dark comedy for sure😂
@@TriedRefusedProductions It's horrifying Jammy and as every medical college/hospital attached to it sees so much of everything from patients dying everyday, patients with nobody to care for them, violence, overworked PGs, protests and so on (even on normal days, like even before pandemic). What all of this does to mental health of a medical student who's already exhausted with exams/academic pressure is something that's hard to explain. The constant realisation that you are putting so much efforts and still there's this grim reality waiting for you in future.
Rahul, watch Placebo - Documentary on AIIMS Medicos.. available on TH-cam for rent
@@whorcruxed To stay sane and functional during this time, its exemplary. What they do is so noble and brave
I myself a studen at IIT Kharagpur can say that as soon as you enter the campus it becomes more of a competition to prove yourself and that you were capable among the top students who managed to get in
What is the startup culture in iitkgp ?
I myself have thought that suppose i had cleared this shit...how would i be looking/feeling around those "rankers" ..would i feel odd one out ...or maybe would i hate them for being such a chomu😂
But That's Life in general. You have Compitition Everywhere.
@@avijitsingh3554 the problem is society looks down upon you even more if you don't succeed after getting into IIT as "IIT mila phir bhi ghar par hi baitha hai"
@@rajatagrawal1105 Society even look down upon you even if you don't get into IIT NIT or BiTS. I myself have done BTech from tier 3 College. But that's job of society, That can't be generalized & you can never be sure about society will not curse you. 🤷
These students literally endure hellfire, survive it and rise like phoenixes. Kudos to 'em. I am a usual commerce purush.

I am the student Jeetu bhaiya talked about after giving 3 years of my life mein IIT nahi nikal paya . I was destroyed internally , my father literally fell on the ground after seeing my result . Result ke bad ki wo 3 din kabhi nahi bhul sakta mein. Bahut kuch guzra tha dimaag mein . I always thought myself to be a smart person, padhne likhne ke alawa zyada kuch nahi kiya mein , par jab mein fail hua tu pata nahi self respect ki tu dhajjiya udh gaye thi .After that maine kuch bhi nahi kiya abhi bhi mein bare minimum karta ho . I still feel bad ki mera nahi hua IIT and even if I know the fight isn't over yet it makes me doubt my ability ki agar ye wali fight nahi jeeta tu age wali kaise jeetunga
I don't want to demotivate anyone and sound demotivated but this was my jee journey and beginning of cllg journey .
you're strong enough to keep going! It says a lot about your willingness to change your fate! Keep at it!

Bhai wo kota factory was sponsored by a coaching institute, they will touch those nerves that get them more customers, they showed pink only half the picture. Am an alumnus of Kgp, and frankly speaking it all fades after 6 months of JEE, and it doesn't matter at all in job. Its just marketing that made IITs look like a heaven. I was getting NDA, I instead went for IIT, and I regret that. Think of it as a girl you proposed, and she rejected you, you have two options : either to think of her everyday and ruin your future relationship OR move on and enjoy the present.

I am from IIT Kanpur. I can completely related and feel what it's shown here. In IIT Kanpur we felt even more trapped Or pressurized sometimes and I used to think, is this what I came here for? Students just study to get a job and professors here teach you to become a researcher or a scientists, this mismatch is sometimes the key of problem what all students face.

@Aditya Rajput you can't escape it till you are among very intelligent students. I think preparation demands that.
@Aditya Rajput Learn to handle it. Engineering is all about handling monotonicity and this keeps you sane. Watch some feel-good movies or read literature books to feel refreshed.
@@saurabhdubey5399 Kyu Vikas Dubey ko Jante ho? 😂
BTW i am also from Kanpur but not IIT Kanpur, keep grinding 👍
@Aditya Rajput this is how it is but just ever give up
The way he says " Why they will study?" Gives a goosebumps
Myself being an iit aspirant connected to this literally everyone in my family, friends and teachers are on me ki tereko iit hii nikalna hai and that too in computer science engineering
I'm seriously fed up of this system
They justify this by giving statements like "aage jobs mei technical knowledge hona chahiye", " upsc crack krne mei madad milegi" and many more there is already so much pressure on a student (like me) because everyone has so much of expectations from me I love computer science but the amount of expectations they come with are looking unachievable to me now they want us to do various activities also, they want us to sleep for 7 hours also, they want us to study for 15 hours also, they want 98+ percentage in board exams also, they want us to crack iit also and that too in best branch and if we fail in even one they call us a failure for life last year my cousin got 95 percentage in boards but was not able to crack iit and was bombarded with critisism
Life has become more like a survival game where we are running with out last live left one mistake means game over
i empathise with you! Its an arduous journey ahead, especially with the social pressure. Even though this is generic but everyone will pave their way, just remember that, even if it isn't what society already has envisioned for you! You'll pave your way as well!

I remember few of my friends getting forced into science. They are doing fine but damn they still hate not being able to do what they really wanted. More like they hate themselves for succumbing to pressure from their parents. I tell them it's fine but honestly it's not.

As a female IIT graduate, this show sidelines the experience of female students in the same way they are sidelined on campus. Would have loved to see the female bonding in hostels, placements, etc as well. That said, the show does take you down the memory lane and is nostalgic.
@Abin Abraham she's only hoping for representation, she has all rights to say so if she feels unrepresented as an ex student. She's worked just as hard as any other student
@Abin Abraham Her experience, her viewpoint. You can talk about the males in IIT if you were a part of it, don't belittle someone's life experiences.
@Abin Abraham ah! So you're jealous! Just say so
Even I feel. Agree to you. I was wondering why didn't anmol gave you a heart on the comment because he is giving senselessly to others.
@Abin Abraham SHE'S NOT ASKING FOR YOUR SYMPATHY, SHE'S ASKING FOR REPRESENTATION!! WHICH IS HER RIGHT AS SHE WAS AN IITIAN TOO JUST LIKE THESE BOYS!!

MEDICAL STUDENTS ARE SIDE-LINED TOO, IF THEY SAY THE SAME, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE ASKING FOR SYMPATHY!!!

This is the sad reality. Placement packages of crores flashing in the newspapers. Parents expecting their children to compete in a competition that takes only around 1 percent of the lot or even less than that. Being born and brought up in kota, I have seen that competitive nature of coaching for three years. Seen the sunken face of my father when I couldn't clear JEE. It feels that at that time that you are the culprit, forget about your interest.
Thanks to Jammy. Very few people know about this series and he already reviewed it. Kudos man. This is My favorite channel.
IITs are called best cllgs because the best students join them.If you change all the students of IITs into a different cllg with far lower facilities it would still come out to be the best college. It is only hard work of students that the IITs has their name not because of their facilities or faculty
Poori tarha sahi nahi hai bhai
@@vivan154 It is because people learn more form each other and the internet than the professors
Me being from IIT highly differ from the the points that you have made here.. its indeed true that the students are hardworking but the oppertunities and highly experienced Faculty members that you get at IITs are the highlight....
To be honest most of the research work at IITs is being done by the Masters and Phd scholars while most of the Btech students deviate from their core engineering deciplines by the end of 4th year, i am not saying we undergrad students don't contribute to IIT being the top engg institution but there are hell lot of other factors that u have missed here..
U haven't even experienced the extra curricular activities that you can take part into here at IIT.. i am not saying its easy here at IIT but with a right mindset things can be managed...i have seen students getting crushed under pressure and also students who ride the pressure like an experienced surfer .... its highly competitive here its like someone who was topper of his or her school is now among the low performer of his batch , someone has to be at bottom for someone else to claim he or she is at the top and that's fucked up because nobody is actually stupid here but the bars are so high...
@@rohanrawat8932 The perception of "best" as said here comes from the students, the selection process and the placements. That's why IISc don't enjoy the same prestige of "best" among masses with as good research if not better than the IITs
@@1Divyanshu1 Yes you are right and i can't deny that.
But my reply is more tailored towards the the guy who posted this comment and the argument that he has made .. for instance my acceptance to ivy league colleges for phd or master is independent of the public perception but depends more on the recommendation and research connections of my faculty advisors and the quality of research that i have done here at my institute which in turn depends on the research facilities available at my institute and my research experience can differ drastically from one insti to other ,lets take for example IIT madras which has one of the biggest combustion research facilities in the south asia and some of the highly experienced students and Professors work there.
Also Boeing or Airbus may take me in their research program during campus placements because they know i have experimented under XYZ faculty in a wind tunnel testing facility which is available of IIT Kanpur.
The perception of BEST differs based on the position you chose to look at things, i stated things from my perspective which was shaped here at IIT in 3 years.
Being a student of IIT Kharagpur I can say that this is so so real. It's a side people don't know about. It's not all strawberries and roses inside.

The significance of education lies in its application, not a qualification. Pakode bhi talo lekin shaan se talo aur usme bahut safalta praapt karo. Nothing wrong in it. We lack a dignity of labour and look down upon certain kinds of jobs.

@@asutoshghanto3419 Wah kya logic hain bhaaya! Pakka tu 2 paisa chamcha hain. 🤣 Kaun bola pakode talne se scientific advancement ruk jaati hain? Yeh mutually exclusive cheeze thode hi hain. Jinko zaroorat hain employment ki, aamdani ki woh aatmanirbhar ban sakte hain. Yehi toh poora point tha pakode talne ka. Kai saare bade scientists, entrepreneurs, innovators, etc jo hain India mein woh aise hi humble backgrounds se aaye hain. APJ Abdul Kalam saab too sold newspapers as a child to make ends meet and used that money to sustain his family and fund his education. And do I need to tell you how much he contributed to India's defense infrastructure, including of course making India a full-fledged nuclear power? The problem with keyboard warriors like yourself is that you lack the dignity of labour and spend all your free time warming your chairs, looking down on every kind of job. Also, what's the logic that every person who's selling pakodas or stuff has to be a scientist eventually and fight China? Everyone has their own talents, skill sets, plans and destiny. Everyone makes their own space and carve their own niche. Your analogy doesn't make any sense.
The initial dialogue where the kid states that for 2 years students are kept in a sort of jail - I have been through that and man even then I couldn’t get into an IIT.
Being a engineer myself I realised that the life I have seen and IITian is no different. The difference was on one aspect they belong to the 1% and the expectations from them is so high that there is no chance for them to fail. One of my friend (IIT+ IIM) had once told me it n simple words " sab same hai but fast forward me hai".
Education should not be a strict jail...why does knowledge have to become a stressful process rather than a healthy competitive battle ground...I feel for these guys. Struggle to get into IIT, pay to study and pass the exam for IIT, then struggle to survive within IIT once you are in...oh man.
Its an extremely tough journey! Sugarcoated in the public eye. Hence, found this as a necessary change.

Alma Mater took me back to my engineering college days... And it just attested to the thought I had back then, the whole purpose of education in India is to get a job, irrespective of which institution you graduate from.
I was a better engineer before getting into engineering... And it took me 2.5 of work experience before I felt like an engineer again. Engg college just teaches you the joys of frugality and making the most of least amount of resources.
As for the series, those kids were more comfortable in front of the camera than most actors are...
I was a fairly good grade students and naturally, everyone persuaded me to take engineering as my higher studies subject..but deep down inside I always knew I NEVE EVER wanted this...in fact, I was inclined toward humanities but succumbed to the societal pressure to take Science after 10th board...glad I never took engineering though studied BSc...I feel myself proud that did not opt for this unworthy madness..

What are you doing now?
I am a final year engineering student at a 3-tier college from the Computer Science branch.
These are some pointers that I have gained over the last 4 years study tenure:
1. People tend to be emphasizing on getting into best colleges for placements. But the reality is that its just required to have a great networking and exposure.
2. Majority of the students underperform during college cause they tend to be complacent after they have achieved a seat in an institution due to the fact that they didnt get ample freedom during school times and they were busy slogging.
3. In majority of the cases students tend to have much more knowledge as compared to the professors. Also the syllabus and curriculums are unrevolutionized and not catering to the needs of the current market.
4. Degrees are just hall tickets to the job market. The criterion by which companies recruit you have nothing to do what you have studied in your 4 years of college. I gave my TCS NQT 4 months back and the first qualifying round was the aptitude round which comprises of maths problems from class 9th and 10th.
TLDR: Disagree with the comment. Whom are you trying to fool. It's misleading to the aspirants. College matters and do work hard to get into a tier 1 college. Not that it is compulsory but definitely a huge initial boost to your career and not something to be taken litely.
Myself studying in a tier one college...
1. Our *Socially Active* Almuni are in in 10s of thousands in closed groups, also comprising of graduates from 1990s, people being paid in 7 figures and just one message is enough even for a fresher to connect with any of them. What better *great networking and exposure could you get?*
2. The atmosphere that college creates, there's no way one can underperform. Everyone recognizes what they need and masters the required skills. There will be a few exceptions but they are exceptions after all. However even they'd be in a worse situation if they're from a local college.
3. Our professors either have a phd from foreign universities or old iits with vast industry experience. They are experts in their fields. Go to any of tier 1 clg (BITS and old IITs incl. 2008 established ones) website and see their profiles for yourself. We have minors in booming fields in the current market (Data Science, Finance, Robotics etc.,). MNCs hire us just looking at the offshoot scores without an interview.
4. Fun Fact: TCS doesn't come to our campus placements. The CTCs they offer is not even closely enough for us to allow them. Our Summer Internships pay 3-4 times that xD.
@@guiltypleasures9622 that's what my point is exactly! The only perk of getting into a tier 1 college is that you only get much higher oppurtinities and much good exposure. That's the only reason I advice my juniors to get into a great college and not expecting that life would be easy once you get into a good college.
And what you said regarding the underperformance .. I've seen many students who grind their asses out for 2 years just to get into these Colleges but what they don't know is that college mei bhi you have to grind.
@@guiltypleasures9622 which year are you in right now?
@@joelphilipmathew5485 not just only perk. It's an upgrade in every aspect you could think of. may be not in terms of sex ratio but that's a different topic xp. Most importantly one will have a choice to do whatever he/she wants instead of worrying about placements etc., You'll find an electronics student pursuing career in biology and a physics student pursuing career in finance at ease and even one who ends up only watching anime through out the college and end up in a better position than an avg. engineering student.
Also who told you one has to grind (online sem is an exception :( that too mostly cuz we're in a pandemic). we don't even have a compulsory attendance requirement lol. one can utilize the time to pursue his/her interests. Most people that complain are those that doesn't come out of their schooling times and still worry about academic competition and expectation (many of the recent batch is like this as they have their first year completely online. It's extremely sad) instead of experimenting and utilizing the freedom college gives. Just needs to get his/her priorities right.
@@guiltypleasures9622 yeahh but you need to understand that not all get to leverage such opportunities at college. And the grind I was referring to was 11th and 12th.
For a person who has not enjoyed college life very much and lost half of the college life to the pandemic, this hits me hard! Especially the culturals part
The way engineering shapes you through the streets of hurdles is most nostalgic at the end year of graduation!!
Hi Jammy, I really appreciate you talking about these small shows so that more and more people can get a glimpse of the life that exists within the campus of IIT Kharagpur. This show took me down the memory lane, made me so nostalgic to those days. Being a student there and at a time when those unfortunate events happened, I can say that whatever they have portrayed in this docu series is very raw, very accurate. That's not to say that everyone experiences the same but the lifestyle shown is very true. God, this made me want to go back there so much. I can understand for those who have not lived that life, the series may start to bore a bit, but for me, it was just a long walk back to those lush greenery, cycling back through those lanes, having a sip of tea and a plate of Maggie at Tikka with my classmates and just being free inside that 2100 acre campus.❤️
Jesus it's depressing to realize that kids would actually have to go through that process of 2 years to get into their choice of college only to be either rejected,completely burned out and to be labelled as failures.
I'm from the commerce side currently doing BA LLB.So I have no clue what students from medical and non medical streams who are preparing for a competition like jee or neet have to go through.I hope y'all find the energy to clear the exam and get into the college you want to go and be happy.And I know I'm in no position to say because I wouldn't possibly know the feeling but in case it doesn't work out,don't lose hope and take your time to heal and relax.I know it would be hard but it'll work out fine if you cling onto your sanity.
Cheers.
Quality content for sure. We need more of these. Also, I loved guy at 3:30 in the series. Very realatable, raw and witty.
My husband is an IIT Kharagpur alumni. We binged the series yesterday and he did not enjoy it at all. He of course enjoyed the walk down the memory lane but he said that it is very cynical and shows the sheer lack of accountability. The students choose to not go to classes, they choose to sign up for a department they are not interested in, and he adds, it is not so bad out there. Apart from this, it is a good attempt to show what goes down in these institutions.
Hi Anuja, that's why i wanted to preface in the video that it may seem to you that the focus group provides only one picture. Its important to acknowledge that there is a spectrum of experiences in this institute. Thank you for the insight
@@TriedRefusedProductions yes, I agree, different people different perspectives. Thanks for the reply. Cheers!
Is your husband from computer science department ?
@@sameerpurwar4836 no, he's from industrial engineering
@@anujamusale6541 I agree with you . I am still a student in IIT KGP.
It felt like the focus was more on negatives . Esp the over placement of cigarete on every scene in the 2nd episode felt so bad . Entire 2nd episode of placement focussed on the depressing atmosphere while its not the case with most.
This was an absolute heart breaking series, to see this in our upcoming generation. The truth is we have talent but every job out there doesn't suit their talent.
It makes me nostalgic to revisit 4 best years of my life in Kharagpur campus. The competition, the freedom, the survival and finally finding my way through: this series is so realistic portrayal of Engineering life
While completing the video of urs jammy I can't go away without commenting anything I really appreciate ur work thank u so much ❤️
So glad that works of art based on students' pov, like the disciple and alma matters are made and how! Thank you for the insightful mature review, as always Jammy 🙏🏻🌼
I've watched a lot of series and movies I've never even heard before cause of you. And they never disappointed me. Thanks and kudos to you. ❤🙌🏼
I did my schooling from Andhra and Telangana and realized pretty early their obsession for IITs. Which made me choose something other than IIT. And the fact tht if you are good in maths and physics you should go for engineering is so true... even my school teachers persuaded me to go for engineering. But alls well that ends well, I landed in a top DU college with a humanities course. I am so thankful with the amount of growth tht takes place here and preparations of the world outside... the situation around here is not fabricated... we gotta face grown realities. I have been to IIT kanpur for 5 days during their fest, and the facts mentioned in the series were so true... the campus is active till 4 am. in the morning!! People even play outdoor games at tht time !!! The competition is pretty high... and the insecurity that girls feel in their own campus is sooo true as well... even we as guest there has felt tht...
And one thing that moved me was... after the 3-day fest ended at 4 am in the morning... at 9 am I saw many groups of students cycling to their respective branch buildings for academic purpose.🥴
OTT platforms are new multiplexes during pandemic era, I feel they will shut shops of theatres very soon, like cable did to radio and doordarshan.

Maybe. Single screens have already starting to close, only multiplex chains will continue to operate. But Post Pandemic or when restrictions are eased, people will definitely come out of homes. (E.g. Master (Tamil), Krack (Telugu), Yuvarathna (Kannada) etc. movies in South India ran housefull shows even after their OTT releases.

I'm a jee aspirant and preparing for it in the city of dreams kota.....earlierly due to lockdown and less exposure I lacked what the competition of jee looked like....but now I have realised the craziness of the race that is run by millions together.....u r correct the prestigious institute is now illuminated as a money vending machine......
I'm not an IITian, but I am a BITSian. I have experienced most of the things shown in the series, and it's really sad that my purpose for going to college isn't even fulfilled yet. I was always excited to study, I wanted to do some meaningful academic work, but so far I've failed to do anything. This show is really great at portraying everything an engineering student faces in his/her college life. I'd recommend everyone to watch this.
Now being a part of health care system through cracking NEET exam and landing a place in govt . Medical college , I doubted is this what I studied so hard for ?
But watching what happens when someone working equally hard lands up a place in IIT/NIT and then the same story being repeated ...
Should we be happy that everyone is in same boat or should we normalise that there is nothing great about cracking these exams and you are still part of the herd even though you managed to get a seat ?
So damn confused 🤣
But then why are we doing this?..
@@thankyounext885 because who wants to go to the unconventional way.There is a saying you are the average of 5 people around you,here the entire country is following one school of thought.Not everyone has the money to start a NPO and go to harvard.Studying and becoming a robot is what we all want to do.
Excellent series, made me remember my struggle 7yrs back , now that I look back the IIT dream is no longer that rosy dream for me, as I went into a private college. After entering the corporate sector, I have realised that companies now more than ever don't bother about my college rather than my skills. And now many IITians being in the same company as I am. That was strangely not a relief(for me and other pvt college students) but a reality for many students after college, that things are not what they think after graduation. Anyhow lately with increasing new IITs/NITs by the central government will give chance to more students, the student count has been increasing every year, atleast now they will face with some reduced pressure/expectations to study that hard in 11 and 12.
That jeetu bhaiya dialogue hit hard even until now....but this review about the documentary feels kinda soothing and no regrets/guilt type relief 🙌💖
With the population and the economic status of the general population, education system in India cannot be changed. Atleast I don't see how. Neither can the attitude of the corporates in India be changed. Because quality of life is not something we are taught. We are taught only survival.
if any private institutes change their structure
I mean... We don't study out of interest... We study out of pressure.... And that is not study basically.
When i used to remember my memories during engineering, i don't remember my studies. I remember all the small happiness during making food or simple walking with my friends during evening or bunking classes.
I wasn't an IIT student but I am sure every student will resonate with these people the trauma through which I went through in my undergraduate years was unreal it still gives me goosebumps!
I am a B.tech biotechnology graduate.
Ma'am can u tell me what are the jobs after Btech biotechnology?
I'm a recent graduate from one of old IITs and let me share my perspective of why students don't wish to study in its colleges. Due to the huge scale marketing of its and packages, every person expects a monthly salary of 6 figures but how they donot know. They studied PCM for 2 years listening to "ek baar jee kr lo phir to life set h" but how, what should we pursue and how? The first year of engineering is basically the things you have studied during JEE but at that time you were in a race with the final goal of achieving iit but now when you achieved it you realise that you have to be part of it again and this time for 4 years. No doubt, that many students do study and I'm not tarnishing or mocking iits or other colleges but the truth is truth. As said in the video, what is the use of this independence after 2years where students don't know what is good for them after 2years of locking in a room.
The ending was wholesome AF ngl.
Your way of relating things to previous videos is just damn awesome 🥂🥂🥂
I can never forget those mesmerising and adventurous 4 years of engineering days in iit bombay
I am alumni of IIT kgp, passed in 2019... The show is really nostalgic for me personally. Some shots are real and unscripted directly taken from students' phone gallery and also I was present there during some of scenes like a TOAT open addressing suicide issues. Though, it's saddening but at least it's all in open and I hope administration takes some action now to stop toxic and nasty things.
Wow people are reviewing documentaries too. Though as someone from IIT i have to say it is pretty authentic. I wish they had talked to more girls student , and professors and how much stressed are the PhDs that they are always in depression and we btechs laugh at them in tutorial or lab classes and how many Btech don't even consider Mtechs and PhDs as IITians just because they didn't crack JEE
A brilliant series...good insight and somewhat relatable to everyone not just engineering students... anyone who has gone through peer pressure, societal pressure and need to prove themselves...definitely a better option than mindless Bollywood movies getting released these days.
This is something I can fully resonate with, everything these folks say is so true. Made me cry😭😭
4th Electrical Engineering undergrad at IITM here. I dropped out of JEE coaching within a month as they sucked the joy out of learning for me. In that respect, I did not have the feeling of a lot of freedom after a total lockdown for two years. But still, once you make it into an IIT, for some time, you are just lost. JEE time, you have one purpose in life. Once you get that, you do not really know what do you even want to do. And by the time you are figuring stuff out in your new college, BAM! It is time for quiz 1! The first year is usually relaxed, but after that, it can get really, really stressful. I have had situations of 10 exams and deadlines in a week. Have seen placements live being a part of the team. It's great for those who can get their dream jobs in a day or two. But for people who struggle longer than that, I have seen them break down, cry, and leave for their homes in the middle of the placement season. This is more so because of the fact that mental health is not prioritized one bit. But there are a lot of positives also: professors who are established researchers in their fields. Men and women you look up to and aspire to be like. The ragging culture is also almost non-existent and seniors, in general, are very helpful.
And then we have students pursuing MBBS. study 2 years+ more(if you're a dropper for neet) and then if u get the seat, study for 5.5 years more
Gotta appreciate your articulate and inclusive voiceover and script....it is impeccable everytime!😃
Another GEM. Amazing experience, moreover these are real people even you could find their linkedin profiles.
After watching I am missing my Campus and college life, spend only one year due to COVID.
After this, I highly doubt my dream of getting into IIT😔
It's really hard to crack IIT, but it's even harder to survive there!
Dude..keep working if you love it
Dude. IIT is the place where magic happens. Har jagah stuggle hai. To agar struggle kerna hi hai to acche tag ke saath karo.. ab LPU wale ke saamne IIT wala rahega to IIT wala will be more preferred.
IIT apne campus ke lie iit nhi hai, iit apne students ke lie IIT hai, agar JEE adv toppers LPU jaenge to LPU iit ban jaega aur IIT ki koi aukaat nhi rahegi. Jab baaki students nibba nibbi khel rahe they tab hum sab apne aap ko ghis kar tarash rahe they.
@@Rithsomware if you see closely, the only struggle in IITs is to dethrone others and take a placement in crores, that's it, nothing else. Yes, some becomes entrepreneurs, but that's very few out of the total.
@@cr7fanclub747 okh, bro. Go to LPU. Kyuki, USA waalon ke paas itna time nhi hai
@@Rithsomware you context makes no sense, US universities and their system is much more logical than this bullshit Indian system, US sees talent not marks
The trailer is very intriguing and your review has got me even more intrigued. The pressure and camaraderie are two big shades of such a prestigious institution.
your video made me watch the series, and it chnaged my outlook on a lot of things. thanks to you!
I'm from the COVID Batch ('20) of IIT KGP and what I've learnt is that the real hustle begins once you enter into this new world. You'll always find people who are better than you even in your best field. Survival of the fittest is the untold truth. But the sweet memories you make here last until your last breath!

Thanks Jammy for this Review😍 Such a beautiful documentary series at the end i am completely speechless....
I would like to start by saying that it is an amazing and honest three-part documentary. I binged watched it last night while working, and I felt the emotions. I am someone who was never so icky about getting into the best college, and I am happy with the degrees I have. But, the boys and men I saw in this documentary made me think that for them even the 12 lpa is not enough. On the other hand, we are offered only 2 lpa stating that we don't deserve more. It was nice to have an entry into the world that we will never see.
I felt that certain topics were not dealt with enough depth in this series given their complexity. I would have loved seeing a better variety of interviews and opinions on the issues discussed.
navin's rant was just one facet of engineers,there are several individuals who choose the engineering while the society stereotyped and mocked them.
Tumhara har ek naya video dekhne k baad I suddenly start worrying ki abhi toh iss par bhee video bann gaya abb kaise jammy manage karega.But man you amaze me everytime. Iss multiplr options ki duniya mey what to watch ka ek memo hona bohot zaroori hai jo ki unbiased ho. Loved this video. I will also request you to watch "Tangra Blues". 🙏
This was awesome!
Having experienced these 4 years in an engineering college, I could identify with all aspects shown here. It is pretty accurate as they are not actors but real students. One of the important points highlighted is the fact that you have to process everything inside that campus- hope, aspiration, friendship, despair, happiness.
Also, the process of getting your branch is not randomized....you get it as per your AIR. The point they wanted to say is that you end up having a branch which you may not identify much with.
Man I really loved you said Bits Pilani.
my father is a graduate from BITS Pilani. So my love for it goes back a long way

Can totally understand the kind of pressure they must be facing, now that I'm doing my MBA. Only the person going through such a tough course knows what it feels like, others never understand. I too have been on the other side, but only when you get into it you realise the amount of work you've got to do
I am not an IIT-ian but an engineering graduate who graduated in the 2000s and I remember the rat race to get a campus placement and being thrust into so called "Group Discussion" process with 20 others during interviews where people who shout the most get short listed for the interviews. Looking back this was probably the most stressful period of my life.
I am from IIT KGP. Felt nostalgic, Unfortunately missed 1 year of college because of online semester
The opening sequence of this video speaks a thousand words !

Thanks for appreciating Mood Indigo. I am a student of IIT Bombay, felt proud hearing it.
3:31 I want to ask this guy - "haan bhai, maa se dubara baat hui?"
DUDE, IT WAS SO GENUINELY HILARIOUS!! Loved this guy, and her mom obviously.
Also, thank you for this video. I was pretty confused how should I put into words thinking about my own review for this. One of my friend said he read pretty bad reviews for this documentary even though IMDb have rated it well. I was quite surprised at this that how can there be negative reviews, like exactly what can be in the negative acknowledgement about this documentary? Nevertheless, I have shared this review video with him. Hope he will get clarity and would like to watch it. According to me, the most important and personal favourite episode was Episode 2. It kind of sum up the whole point and reasoning for excessive glorification into getting into IITs at the very first place, either by influence of parents, kids, social media, news media, and more - or own their own choice. By looking at the trailer, I was genuinely impressed by the girl who said "numbers are everywhere and are the root cause of all problems" and she's outstanding and really intelligent because the way she conveyed her thought into everything. You don't actually see a raw and transparent female representation into any sort of entertainment/streaming media about their intelligence and strength, so it stands out pretty impressive for me. This girl and the guy with the glasses... Both knew what they were talking about and explaining everything from the subject's core. I can pretty much agree on the fact that this documentary doesn't feature much of the female narratives and interviews, else it was a full representation of the stories of students. Like the title of this episode's specific part, girls were in the same range of this documentary. Now, I'm really not sure whether this was a similar hit taken by the director/creator to let or make someone recognise that just like real world, you haven't listened and got to know the other side of narratives than boys. Nevertheless, happy to see even two interviewees talking out so confidently and truthfully with actual acknowledgement of everyone's lives and our world, making a benchmark about girls having scholarly and intellectual potentials as well - opposite to what's still prevalent in the mainstream. Netflix's 3-episode documentaries are becoming some of my favourites. Few days back I have watched "Don't F* With Cats" and I just loved it! Watching more documentaries these days.
If i tuned in this series thinking its a movie type series then i would deffinately get boored but i knew its a documentory and i just wanted to see how real it is kept and it was worth every second.
I am a final year medico in a central institute in North east. We are being made to give our mid term exams offline while being in quarrantine cz four of our own batchmates are positive(they will also have to sit for exams btw). Then just the our exams end, we have been summoned for covid duty. And amongst all this there is a circular not allowing us to go outside the gate cz they fear we might run home. Trapped, frustrated and depressed. Many in our campus have dignosed anxiety, depression.
This is just a fraction of what medicos all over India go through.
I am so sorry for what you're going through right now. With the situation more and more horrific I can only empathise with you for the mangitude of work that has been bombarded on you.
@@shubhangijoshi5777 😔
Hi Anmol. Huge fan of your work.Can you suggest me some books to hone my spoken English skills to match the comfort and eloquence of yours?
It nicely showcases the undergraduate students - nearly 50% of the total students. The other 50% are, sadly, not covered - those who drive the research at IITs and bring in rankings. I would have loved to see their experiences also.
How this series states about misconceptions about iit have made us think about those students who are in Bsc and have interest in applied science but they are always called up for non elite college students. With no surprise students aren't judged own their choice but for being away from stereotype.
So true...if you are not from iit or doing mbbs , you are regarded as lower human....
I would request u to plss review the show dil sambhal ja Zara.....from star plus ....it had a different concept but got bit messy ....so plss present ur view on that .. it has 75 episodes.....
It was a copy paste of one turkish show. I would recommend you watching that rather.
I work for an Edtech and I can vouch how the dream of IIT and AIIMS are sold to people, being an engineering student myself I know how much pressure you are in when everyone pins their hope on you and you have to fight everyday when in reality you want to be someone else, you want to do something else. Great review Anmol. That's why we listen to you for the unabashed truth that you provide
❤️❤️❤️My words
Thank you for the review. I have been myself at the place preparing for JEE Mains and Advanced and failing badly at it. But life goes on and it's a long journey I am still figuring out what I am passionate about! Nonetheless, I would love if you do a review on Minati as well!
