@prateek I was at BITS Pilani. As they say YMMV. I think I’ve been rather lucky with the profs I worked with, but BITS does have some great faculty.

@WP_Themes (Or whoever) I don’t know what you mean I did. Did you decide to join BITS or otherwise?

OOPS, ‘quote’ tags gobbled up. I meant to quote all but the last line :

Were we in the same college?

Hi Chinmay,
What is your opinion on ‘divide & rule’ (not related to computer science)?!
