Mindset and career advice by professor V. Kamakoti from IIT Madras 

We've became so obsessed with the results that we single-handedly reject the process. Remember gold occurs in the impure form it's the process which makes it precious and valuable.

Last time IIT rejected Venki Ramakrishnan, he went on to win the Nobel prize in chemistry. IIT needs rottu tota , not researchers with passion for science.

Each student's brain power and understanding capacity is different. Education system should focus on how this power can be increased among students. Also students should be taught about mentality development and how to handle adverse situations of life.

I Don't think sir,Two years were not about learning foundation of( PCM) It was about solving and cramming profiles of questions with giving proper emphasis on theoretical knowledge, logical argumentation. I was taught solving pulley Types use some -T+T=0, I haven't gone through WE, but just for sake of problem solving they used the Work done by internal force is 0, Concepts like psuedo force, Just for problem solving. There are many concepts that they just randomly teach and not instilling Curiosity in PCM, They not start PCM with Throughts ,ideas, curiousity but rather with formulas, questions that are necessary for jee advanced, The importance is given to having the armamentarium of techniques, trick, profiles of questions to deal with JEE advanced not using fundamental thoughts, For eg In mathematics formula for Sum of n terms in AP for me is intellectual marvel that how a compact formula can hold summation of n terms , What are the fundamental mathematical patterns that are exploited for deriving the formula, WHY THE HECK derivations works , I have answers to all the above questions but JEE Advanced does not care, JEE Teaching faculty does not care and sadly IIT doesn't care. Yes ,JEE ADVANCED IS beauty of its own,these questions are really intellectual marvels But ,the way so called JEE experts teaches.The pedagogy is simple Cram every profile till you can't find another new questions hence lots of study hours means lots if rote memorisation, lots of stress ,lots of suicides in Kota, Stress is real because we are feeding information for the Sake of clearing Exam not for the Beauty of PCM

Very. Correct

The person who's asking question is actually me!

Damn true!

Watching after messing in CAT Exam😅❤

Brilliant professor.

remove 75 criteria i can get into nit my score is 96 percentile

Sir my knowledge on any topic "perishes" each and every time I come out of exam hall

Seriously worst management.This is. One of the examples of why India has toppers but not talented /innovative people.Student asked right question but this professor is with outdated mentality.No need to get stressed for IIT preparation if one wants to get a job the. Oppurtunity is same for jormal college people as well

correct

Very true

He is a visionary

He's so wise, tbh a fan of him.

Whole it is like a mindset , giving an impression that society is being helped but the American society….

People think that cracking the IIT-JEE is where all the hard work ends... not true. IITians work like dogs for the rest of their lives because they're given tasks that are challenging. If you don't have the passion to work like that look for a different career.

Every pro. is unique

Computer Science ❌ Biology ✅ Great Professor ❤️❤️

It is under water what do you mean.

I agree with professor about Computer Science, as it is taught in our country mostly as a Tech subject. But in essence, it is a strand of math. And as a current PhD student in CS, I can honestly say I have been relying more on math foundations than any CS concepts.

Knowledge can be forgotten if not in use professor hence it is perishable

You study science so that you can become computer science expert, don't take computer science. Ministry of HRD should take this seriously and change the syllabus of CSE , everyone should study biology, it will be fun watching them write code.

What is the meaning of plus 2 which he said while taking about bio?

How relevant was the answer!!!

👍👍

Highly racist institution. what’s the percentage of Brahmins vs others.
