The "Insider Secret" illuminates the dark hues of academia. Imagine how counter-intuitive is the fact that as a "student" you are expected to streamline, or rather conform your intellectual outcome to the level of comprehension of an "expert/examiner" (while the intellectual disparity being inverse of such an expectation). It is almost like passively imposing a rule of entropy (on students) while presenting ideas, and seems nothing but a dishonest appeal for conformation in lieu of scrutiny. And the question that recursively comes to my mind, as to why there is such frailty in our professors/academicians? (I dont think being scholarly has to necessarily come with such a trade-off). And as an offshoot, I think it is also reasonable to make a case, that Academia itself can be identified with an overwhelming sense of peer gratification and competition, which distorts the scholarly ecosystem and its participants, in the sense that intellectual honesty in our PhDs is hitting a new low. Especially in those who are in the middle of the hierarchy. And as a consequence, their ungratified selves are projected onto the students, as a means to vent. And we may call it ego or human prejudice, but I think we shouldn't let it float untreated or unsupervised. Being a student of technology myself, I can tell that it is really off-putting. If they (as mentors/professors/advisors) are not going to held themselves accountable in materializing the latent potential of students (as oppose to feeling inferior) then who else will be? If they are going to appeal for a strong conformity and validation bias from the students, then it is inevitable to prevent Indian scientific thought to slowly doom. Why does the window of scientific expression offered to the students being narrowed in such premiere schools? Students of bachelors and masters form the bone marrow of Research, and this practice of skewing is only downlifting. Almost like being intellectually corrupt. And I think, this is also where Indian science and technology infrastructure needs to rigoursly work upon compared to global schools. It has become careful in nurturing Industries, and consequently dogmatise our ways of thinking, ignoring the research quotient of the minds.
Respected Sir, I am SURAJIT SARKAR, 4th year B. tech in Mechanical Engineering from Kalyani Government Engineering College. It is very helpful for me. Thanks a lot sir.
Wow sir....you are also getting to know how to create videos......tharun is learning engineering from you and you are learning video creation from tharun......how I get to know by (insidal secret)
Nice video sir. I have found that making a brief presentation of whatever I am reading helps me, myself understand it. I whenever I read a paper, I summarize it in a PPT for future reference.
Silly mistakes were the bane of my life when I was a student myself. I will share one trick given my dad which kind of helped me. You have to REVISE your work. But when doing so, pretend that you are not going through your own work rather the work of someone whom you want to beat ... so the more mistakes you can find the better it is for you! :)

wonderfully written. i have been thinking along the same lines for the past few years now.
Respected Sir, I am SURAJIT SARKAR, 4th year B. tech in Mechanical Engineering from Kalyani Government Engineering College. It is very helpful for me. Thanks a lot sir.
Sound advice. Especially pertaining to the egos of professors :)-
I made my masters final presentation as per your recommendation and my professors and external professor liked it very much.
Thank you Sir.
🙏🙏
Well done on a good presentation!
Great video sir! Thank you so much for the suggestions! Those are definitely helpful. :)
And your presentation was outright impressive to say the least!
@@Prof_JC Thank you so much sir for your kind words! I am always thankful to you for your guidance in various things. 😊❤️
A million thanks to you Sir for guidance us in the true way. We are really very fortunate to hear from a IIT Professor.
Need of the hour!! Thanks a lot sir!
Very informative video Sir
Thanks a lot 👍
Thanks Sir for valuable information
boht badiya sir ji.....very helpful
Wow sir....you are also getting to know how to create videos......tharun is learning engineering from you and you are learning video creation from tharun......how I get to know by (insidal secret)
Thank You so Much Sir❤️
Sir i am an mbbs doctor currently studying for pg...still i am a regular follower of urs...and i also enjoy physics lectures provided by u
Thank you for the kind words!
Thank you sir...it is very helpful...
Thankyou...
Need more Prof from the IIT's on youtube
Nice video sir. I have found that making a brief presentation of whatever I am reading helps me, myself understand it. I whenever I read a paper, I summarize it in a PPT for future reference.
If you try to learn something with the intention of speaking about it or teaching it to somebody else, your learning will be much ... much better!
Thank You Sir
Thank you so much sir for those irreplaceable suggestions.
i am a phd student from NIT Rourkela. i find your videos vry informative. Lots of respect..
Thank you for the kind words! And, all the best for your PhD work!
Thank you sir for valuable information. Sir can you please advice on how to minimize silly mistakes??
Silly mistakes were the bane of my life when I was a student myself. I will share one trick given my dad which kind of helped me. You have to REVISE your work. But when doing so, pretend that you are not going through your own work rather the work of someone whom you want to beat ... so the more mistakes you can find the better it is for you! :)
@@Prof_JC thank you sir I will definately try this.
@@Prof_JC sir, this is because the easiest person to fool is yourself
Thank you sir.. my presentation is this week only😃
Sir why cant the gate exam be postponed sir??? Covid cases will be in its peak in the month of feb and moreover many students are demanding postponement of gate exam in twitter and other social media sir..some students are about to file a case against iit kgp for postponement of gate exam sir...it is unfair to conduct gate exam amidst this pandemic sir...kindly reply sir
Thanks sir 🙏🤩
Sir pls can u share playlist for engineering mechanics i am unaable to find any lecture series on eng mechanics pls sir suggest
Hello sir i want to ask u 1 question plz replay
Excuse me Sir can you make videos in Bengali
Sorry, that would not be accessible to many of the students who are non-Bengali.
