And, I do feel that the B.Tech. students do take a lot more load than most postgraduate students, and...
A note of caution before you start. This post is about my personal experiences in the CASS-2018 (Computer Architecture Summer School) organized in IITK during the first week of July, 2018. This post is really long and detailed, so you need have a lot of patience to complete it. Any type of feedback / comment / query is always welcome and the disqus comment section is the best space to go about it. Of course, you can do mail me or message me if needed. Typos/errors if found, please let me know. Let’s start. The loaded first semester at IITH of my PG., was just about to finish with only one exam pending. And, I received a mail from my...
