- Some tips, pointers, and words to remove misconceptions from the 1st year student's minds.
Video by: Dr Jeevanjyoti Chakraborty, Mechanical Engineering Department, IIT Kharagpur
I thought of making this video after receiving so many comments in the previous video (IIT prof reacts to his own student's video (Tharun Speaks)) from students who are about to start their engineering education journey.

Prof's advice:
0) Health:
Be regular in eating and sleeping ;you will understand significance of this advice when you join hostel :)
1)You are coming to college to learn courses NOT subjects:
Professors have already selected and prepared selective topics for it, so follow your classes first and then go to the book and read relevant parts
2) Grades are absolutely important: A higher grade is always better but don't run after marks, be pragmatic about your approach and don't give up after screwing up one exam
3) 1st Year is not the best time for projects:
Wait till 3rd Semester and learn departmental subjects properly
4)Let go of your your ego if you are coming to IIT:
as your friends are also toppers of their respective institutes
5)Don't join clubs/Societies mindlessly:
Societies are important but remember that time is finite, join only those in which you can invest your precious time
6) Start becoming more social:
Make friends from all circles and learn a lot from them, remember to make a few special friends which will help you in time of need
Sir I am not joining any IIT this year, but I will make it count🔥

Thank you so much for perfectly summarizing everything I said!
@@Prof_JC Welcome sir🙏
@@hars771 good job. You were able to summarize like you've experienced a year or so.

Thank you bro
CONGRATULATIONS to those freshers who beat the JEE advanced! 🎉

Let's see who is the first to post a comment in reply to the little fun question I have posed inside the video related to thermodynamics, python, and zero!
c=input("how is health good/bad")
if health=="bad" :
print("eat right, sleep right, take care of your health, get well soon")
if health=="good":
print("eat right, sleep right, take care of your health, be healthy")
Python - Data Structures like strings, lists starts with index 0.
Thermodynamics - Has a zeroth law stating that if two thermodynamic systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
College Life therefore is like a string of events that should start with good health. It is like the ultimate requirement.
Yours sincerely, a student of Class 12, Jamshedpur.
@@kragrrr And, we have a winner! (No prizes, though. OK? :) )
@@Prof_JC Please mention me in your next video. That's my prize! 😁
That's a good idea. Why didn't I think of it myself!
Prof has given good advice, but here is more practical advice:
1. For 1st 3 sems, focus only on 2 things: Grades + DSA. Remember, companies will start testing you in campus 5th sem onwards.
2. By 4th sem, decide which groups to join, and which profs to work with. Publishing a paper will give you experience and make you stand out everywhere. Will increase your range of MS options, scholarships, and even off campus placement offers.
3. Preferably by 7th sem, have publication + 1 good summer intern + good DSA + good grades. The sooner you are done with your first pub, the better it is, since you can devote the rest of your time to dev skills, in whichever field you wish to pursue (Web, AI, embedded, mechanical etc).
4. That is it. First 3 years are the real years of btech. 4th year can be rewarding if the 1st 3 years are spent correctly. In 8th sem, you will either intern, think about startup, or write a second paper. In 7th sem, some succesful ppl will even prep GRE + MS applications.
This is nearly the only way to complete btech succesfully.
🙏
I salute you sir for coming ahead and guiding them through this wonderful platform.
I really believe that many other professors from other universities should come up with this initiative by preventing their students from being misguided.
Thanks for the kind words!
As an IIT alumnus, I really agree with everything said here. Thank you for the video, I am sure this is going to help many current students. They need more such good and experienced advice.
From which IIT you are graduated sir??

All very good points! I would also add a point about actively engaging in outdoor sports. As we graduate and move on to other roles, the ability to actively seek out avenues to stay fit becomes important. The privilege of cycling to Nalanda for a 7:30 AM class doesn't exist everywhere😂. Also, playing a sport like football etc is almost an universal language that allows to establish friendships pretty much anywhere in the world!
Hello Arijit! Great seeing you here. And, thanks for chipping in with a great comment. Absolutely important point. And, just to keep you updated. Classes start at 8 AM. Don't know when they changed from our 7:30!
@@Prof_JC Sometime around Spring 2016, in my final semester at KGP. Didn't make much difference though :p
We need mentors like you in every college. Thank you ❤️.
So great to have a prof trying to connect with his students 💫
As a parent I was certainly looking some advice like this... Thank you JC sir for the timely and invaluable help. 🙏🙏
I am really glad you found it useful. All the best to your ward!
I am a doctor(MBBS), going for my post graduation( MD), and almost all the things you have mentioned can be generalised for prospective medical students going to medical colleges too. Selecting a good peer group/friend circle is probably one of the first and most important decisions we take independently. Company matters, and I've seen enough examples of this in medical/engineering colleges :)
We learn from friend with whom we r associated with.
Thank you sir for your wonderful advice! As a student preparing to start my first year soon, I found this video quite reassuring.
Sir, it has been 2 months into my college life, with a few backlogs in studies and many many more questions about the college life everyone talks about. Thank you for helping me know the importance of striking a balance between professional and social life, and thanks a lot for your valuable suggestions. They would surely help me to progress and cope up with situations in a better manner. Thank You again Sir.
Thank You Professor
I was committing the same mistake every single day, of ignoring the course material and treating every single book that had been recommended as text book. So I would always want to cover that entire book from from end to end.
But it was very late that I realise that what I was doing was wrong
This is because I come from a college which does not even belong to Tier3
But then I got myself into IIT Madras's online degree program, where I am learning a lotttt.
The biggest positive (of ALL) that I have found by studying from IIT is :
They teach you how to learn
Btw thank you again for this advice
Better late than never! :) All the best!

What is online degree prgrm?
Is that online degree program about engineering,coding related subjects or anything else please reply bro

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. I did my undergrad during 2010-2013 and I did exactly the opposite of what you advised in this video. I wish I realized these points back then.
Thank you sir for all your advice.
I am going to join NIT JAIPUR this year and i am going to be the first engineer in my entire village 😅 and i have no one to tell me all these things but after watching your this video I think i can improve my college life much better.
I will remember all of these advice.
Thank you sir. ❤️
Congratulations and very well done. I am sure you have made your entire village proud of you. I wish you all the best in your studies and career.
I am a NIT Jaipur alumnus myself. All the best. The professor has given the best possible advice. Do listen to him and you will flourish.
I can clearly see the mistakes I made in my first year. I am sure I would have had a smooth sailing if I received such guidance prior to my joining. This will definitely help a lot of first years and the future batches. Thank you sir. And lucky 2021 and later batches :)
I think I did mention some of these points as a faculty advisor in that meeting just after you all had joined. But I can understand how some of those things might not have stuck because at the point of admission there were so many logistical things flying around in your minds! If only I had thd idea to make this kind of video back then!
Lovely bits of advice not just for freshers but also for sophomores like myself. Kgp is blessed to have professors like you, thanks for this sir!
Absolutely wonderful and informative. Commendable on your part to take out time to put some light on how students must navigate their college life. Thank you sir.
Thank you professor.
I am not IITian. I am a student in HIT, Haldia. But your advice helps me alot. I hope for the best and try to start my path with a new way by your guidance.
Though being a student of tier 3 college is very difficult but still I belive I will give my best by seeing lectures of all the IIT professors available in online platform along with my own institute's professor.
Thank you sir.
Take care of your health.
Keep uploading videos, it is beneficial for the students like us.

This is the gem of an advice and mentorship..... I believe that these facts and realities are valid beyond freshers, and are equally important to all students, irrespective of their academic backgrounds. And as mentioned very very correctly by Professor as the zeroth point, please maintain your health, both physical health as well as mental health... Tha nks a lot Sir, for this wonderful guidance and please bless us so that we can do very good work and contribute to the society.....

Thank you professor for providing such wonderful advice !
Thanks a lot sir. Almost all the points you have spoken are applicable to every student (irrespective of year).
I feel sad 😞 that I didn't know these points in my first year.
But, will surely follow them from now. We are waiting for more videos like this. ❤️
Thermodynamics for mechanical engineers and python for computer science engineers are very important but most important is health....

Thank you for the kind words!
A wondrfully Wise Prof. 👏... Please keep it coming dear sir... Most teachers in school, coaching institutes and college focus all their time and efforts on teaching knowledge and skills, but Wisdom is seldom taught, as it is considered preachy and idiosyncratic... Most students consider the courses in Humanities subjects (and 'Life Skills' course which many colleges including IITs have introduced) as irrelevant and artificial, similar to self-help books 👎... This Prof. sounds so genuine, and short TH-cam videos is the perfect medium to share his wisdom... Look forward to many more 👏
Thank you for the very kind words!
@@Prof_JC sir if possible please tell which resources should we use to excel well in coding irrespective of colleges (since many students study in tier2,tier 3 colleges)
Please tell your opinion sir
Just the video I was looking for ❤️❤️
Thankyou So much sir
It will literally help the freshers like me❤😊
Thank you, sir, for this amazing video.
I think the thermodynamics and 0 are related as the 0th law in thermodynamics was the last to be ever postulated, just as in the case of your last advice to the students in the video. However, I have no idea about the Python relation.
Correct. The Python connection is very easy actually. :)
thanks, sir. I am trying to follow these. I am currently in 1st year at IIT Bombay. but actually, I also lack in the last advice, the health. I have personally felt this. I suffered my health a lot and I know how it affects other things also. Thanks..
Wow.. listening you felt like I am going through a storm of experience...❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing advice right from your heart which we never expect from such an hounarable professor like you sir.🙏🙏
As in thermodynamics, zeroth law is most fundamental. On the same, in engineering coding(Python) is most fundamental. People say everyone codes, doesn't matter what ones branch is.
But what is the connection to zero? :)
@@Prof_JC I don't exactly know how to put it in words.
But in python counting starts with 0, especially for data structures like lists, tuples, strings, sets.
Every element in data structures have an index which starts from 0 instead of 1.
For example, first element in a list has index 0.
You can also see how "for loops" start counting with 0 by using range function and not setting lower limit.
@@Prof_JC because we start counting from 0 in programming. Right?
(agar sahi hai toh shabashi de do pls, iit ke sir se shabashi mil gaye toh raat ko aachi neend aayegi 😂)
🤦, its not.
Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics was not even introduced till 2nd law was well established, So its far from being fundamental.
@@studyonly9857 array index also starts from 0 😂
Sir, would you please make video on how to understand mathematical formalism? How to understand mathematical derivations? Engineering textbooks tend to be intimidated with the maths.
Do mathematians and physicist have same mind set/view of thinking?
Classical mechanics just escalates from newtonian physics to Hamilton/Lagrangian formalism.
That's a really good idea for a video. It'll be quite challenging to make though. Let me think about it! Thanks.
👌
@@Prof_JC yes sir 👍👍👍
A year later, this still holds relevence. Thanks for fulfilling a niche void on youtube. kudos, looking to meet people like you at college I'm joining
Thank you very much sir.. Your golden words will help me a lot.

I have a few points to add. I graduated from IIT Kharagpur in 2018 with Dual Degree (Bachelors + Masters). Probably, I might be wrong and the professor could validate.
First-year is when you are chartering unknown territories and one doesn't know what to do. This could be characterized by a lack of self-confidence when you see a lot of people doing a lot of things and excelling in each of them. At times, an imposter syndrome draws in. You could be running after societies trying to fit in, trying to get the next best POR to prove your self-worth or doing nothing at all trying to enjoy college life. No matter what you do, if you stick to the following advice it will be the most worthwhile years of your life.
1) Acads and CGPA : no matter what department you have joined, try to keep a really high CGPA. We have a mentality where we tend to downweigh the importance of academics in Indian colleges until we realise the importance later on. No matter what you are doing later in life, your job during a B.Tech. degree (undergraduate studies) is to "study" - take courses and excel in them. If you apply to institutions for higher studies (Indian or foreign) (MS or MBA) - they don't really want to see what POR you had or what was your hobby or sometimes you are not even expected to have publications (good if you have them) - what you are expected is to have studied and got grades during those 4 or 5 years. You have one job - "study"
2) Hobby: join a society or POR only if you enjoy doing it. No certificate or POR doesn't really matter that much. When I look at a CV, I never ever look what position he/she held as a fest organising manner. What I look at is - CGPA, projects and what are they passionate about. If you have a hobby - go to gym, pick a guitar or do whatever - make sure you pick it up, prioritize it to excel in it and improve yourself at it during the course of your study.
3) Professors >> Friends: Make professors your best friend. Attend lectures, ask doubts, attend after-lecture office hours with them. Ask them what more to study.
4) Friends: Have a social life. Go out for walks with your friends. Discuss your problems with them, listen to their problems. Without any intentions of reaping rewards, invest time to nurture genuine relations with them. In the end, that is what will matter.
5) Society : Do it because you love it. But no society is worth it if it asks you to miss the class which is scheduled for 8 AM tomorrow. If it interferes with your classes the next morning - leave it. Not worth the time.
At times, it will feel too much to take; you will feel like giving up. It is usually when boredom sets. Don't worry. Follow the process and you will be fine.
This advice is valid for all institutions (IITs/NITs and other colleges). No matter what college you have - doesn't matter in the long run. If you couldn't get into IITs, it is definitely not the end of the road. I have seen a lot lot many people from other colleges doing even better than people from IITs. Remember, your future opportunities will be kinder to you. So keep excelling at the next best opportunity you get.
Very nicely stated. Thanks!

One golden advice is at the end of the video!
There is nothing more important if you don't maintain your overall health and wellness.
Taking meals at regular intervals is very very important for the body.
Sleeping at the same time every day (you will have the best sleep of your life if you keep yourself away from all the blue screens at least 1-2 hours before sleeping, utilise this time with your room mates discussing about ideas and things to do for self-growth, just 5 min meditating before sleep is just awesome) and most importantly waking up even before the sun wakes up , go for a run , do some yoga to get energised for the rest of the day.
Have a good day!
Thank you sir, This video helped alot

Sir what about the students who couldn't get there desired branch because of their rank in JEE...In my case I've always been good in programming/coding, did internships in my 11th grade...but just because of my jee rank I had to chose Aerospace at iitb which I don't think I'm even interested in..
First, a big congrats on getting g into IITB. Aerospace is a great department with wonderful opportunities. There are hardcore programming and software related needs in various aspects of Aero ... high Reynolds number flows (very challenging), flight dynamics and control, structural design ... and more. You probably don't realize it now but with the programming skills and interests that you have together with a Aero Engg. Degree (that too from IITB) how attractive you can build up your profile! There are always going to be great programmers and always great Aero engineers. But you can combine the best of both!
There are ample opportunities for pursuing programming/computer science research as a career path at IITB. A minor degree in computer science is offered, and one can also take up quite a few post-grad level courses as electives.
same bro i am interested towards coding and open source but due to my jee rank needed to join chemical engineering at IIT bombay. (cuz IITB was my dream cllg)
One of my son's seniors secured AIR 22 in 2015. Due to rank pressure, he chose cse in iitb although he was passionate about Aerospace. At the end of his 1st year, he changed his branch to Aero. He worked in Boeing Bangalore for 2 years and this year he joined university of Illinois Urbana for his MS. So why are you not happy? It's all about your passion what you want to do. Aero is a very good branch. There are an ample of opportunities if you are on a right track.

13:54 as in thermodynamics the zeroth law was the most fundamental or basic law, though it was stated after first two laws, scientists named it as zeroth law.
Similarly you have also stated all the points earlier in the video, but health is the most important and foremost point, so you are stating as zeroth point.
(Sorry,I don't know python though.)
Hello Friend . In python , the counting , which is sometimes referred as indexing , starts from 0 and goes on as usual i.e we count in Whole numbers rather than natural numbers. It is great analogy here in this vedio. Thank you sir.
Feeling kinda sad that i am unable to get taught by teachers like u because i dont get a decent rank in JEE adv. But, those advises will be with me forever when i go into NIT.
I wish you the very best in your studies and career!
studying hours and hours a day just to get a prof like you are😌. Just so helpful this was
thank youuu🙏🙏
It helped a lot Sir. Thank you so much Sir.
Sir, I am not in my first year, I'm in class 9th but it's so good to hear from you, the way to speak and share your ideas and thoughts that I just came here to hear your thoughts, experience. I appreciate hearing more and more from you in the future 👍.
7th👻
Thanks sir
Sir,it was a very helpful video.
I'm joining IIT BHU Electrical eng
The thing is I'm finding it really difficult to make friends (through online interaction)
Like..there so many people..whom shud I approach?
I understand the situation. Once you zctuslly join your batch will invariably have an online group in some digital media. One idea could be that you ask around in that group based on an interest of your own.
Prof JC. It is difficult to express our gratitude for your Efforts. I regularly motivate my son to learn from your videos. This video is the latest one I have forwarded him before he embarks on his IIT journey. Thanks.
Thank you for the kind words!
Do the best you can, and keep moving forward. Don't give up.
Sir can you please tell me is chemical engineering relevant in today's world .. sir i am interested in coding but due to low rank i got chemical engineering in nit Warangal ...
Sir, how to approach towards coding ( which language to learn first ) and secondly how(ways) to be good in speaking English fluently ?
Lastly i have never see an IIT professor in youtube giving such important guidance to students .. thankyou sir ❤️.. hoping to change myself from introvert to extrovert during my college life ❤️❤️
Chemical Engineering IS and will continue to be extremely and critically important. NIT Warangal is a very good institute. I am sure in your first there round be a course like Programming and Data Structures or something equivalent. You will necessarily have to use a programming language there ... additionally you can learn Python.
@@Prof_JC thank you sir ❤️ .. your 1st two lines boosted lots of confidence in me .. hoping to become a good chemical engineer ❤️

Sir , being from a middle class family and non - supportive parents ..I am asking this to you . Sir whenever I tried to study from mobile my mom snatches mobile from my hand...I don't have money for tuitions, my parents believe you should only study from books.....I am a PCM student want to crack JEE and I studies in an ICSE school I will not get much time to study for JEE , Sir my financial condition is not good so should I opt for a Govt school and by which I can save my time and money by which I can buy a laptop also I think.....Sir Please guide ...I don't have anyone with whom I can share my feeling and you can only guide me ....Hope you will show me a path ....( My parents also thinks that girls can't crack JEE they think that I am not capable and I can't crack JEE they think that at last I will also do suicide like others but I know sir I can do it ...I have the potential..If you are reading till here than pls reply me sir as I am moving to 11th and don't know which board to choose by seeing my family conditions ( I know I will get a very good % in 10th) .
Hey, i may be a stranger but i truly believe in u, trust urself and go for it. And ofc studying from internet is nothing bad, in fact you can do much better if you have confidence in self studying.
I'm also moving to 11th and i may not be the best one to advice but in case u haven't opted for any college yet i'd say go for govt college it will surely save u time and money..
I've joined coaching recently and honestly i'm very unhappy amd not satisfied with the "coaching" ways of teaching.. i prefer self studying too.. and i believe you can crack competitive exams.. however, make sure u have proper guidance from someone experienced ( teacher/any expert you know)
Also Which state are you from?
Follow only one teacher till the end and for the mobile part, sometimes you have to fight for your dreams. Let them think whatever they do, that's your journey, u gotta fight for it. In the end, after seeing your hardwork, they will start trusting you.
Yeah do that. Try for govt. I'm on 12th now and I would advice u to stay consistent with ur studies. Consistency will surely bring u ur desired goals. U can use library at break time if available there. Also can use chat gpt to make the concept easier to understand.
@@user-hr6ne7nu3w
Vey well answered
you have to fight for it
Even my parents put me in a substandard level coaching I insisted them to put me in allen
But they said we cannot risk too much money on it as selection is also not confirmed .(they are not wrong you know they did the calculation that in that much money i can complete my entire engineering ...so they have their perspective)
I was in 10th so didnt think much
Now i regret it i think ishould have fought for it ...sometimes you know they want to check your determination (parents)
Last year i decided to not let others (parenets , bad coachi g)ruin my career and joined a dummy college(not government but like attendence is not serious and is managed if you give money )
And started self studing
Now i am feeling happy and being consistent
See ill recommend to do
Maths :
(Cengage )trigonometry , coordinate geometry
(Arihant ) calculas,vectors algebra
(Any you can use from arihant or cengage tbh)
Physics:
Cengage series
Or shashi bhushan tiwari series
You check online which one is better for you
Now chemistry you cant self study ..because there are no good books ill recommed mohit tyagi lectures (free on youtube )
Be active in youtube study related channels and see all the dates syllabus from official websites
Self studing is pain here you have to active at everything
Also talk to some teacher about this in your school or college they will help out in comments youd rarely find anybody helping
But yeah here you need phone
Or laptop try to convince parents that you are studing nothing else
One more thing i realised iit is more about excellence than hardwork or struggles
See many students leave their home go to kota and still they dont get it
Also dont take parents are non supporters they just have different perspective ...sometimes they dont understand what you want but that is how world works you will never able to control somebody elses thinking ...you should always accept it and try to find some way .
Thank you sir
Really concise and thorough
Will try to follow these stuff to the best of my abilities
Hope u are doing well sir
Thank you for the video sir and I would like to point out how the video is helpful not only for the upcoming First year students but even for present students in higher semesters (like myself) and love the timely redirection just before our approaching End semester Exams.
What is you opinion sir:
I was getting core branches in BITS PILANI but I chose Maths and Computing in DTU (DCE)
What would have been your suggestion?
Never ask this question to anybody. It was your decision. So stand by with it with full conviction. Only then you can chart out your career in the best possible way. Don't let you mind go back to that decision. There is no objective correct answer here. However, even if what you have decided is by some criterion the better one, you would still not be able to do really well in it if you keep questioning yourself. So be steadfast and March ahead! All the best!
Sahi baat hai yaar, we live in a multiverse, kya pata kabhi kuch aur decision lene se aaj reality kya hoti. Road not taken padhi the na 9th mai?
