IIT prof reacts to his own student's video (Tharun Speaks)!

Tharun from the "Tharun Speaks" channel is one of my students here in the Mechanical Engineering Department of IIT Kharagpur. Recently he made a video on his experiences in the Department and he discusses about opportunities and career prospects in this line. Overall his message is positive. But, he made some contentious remarks which I thought I should respond to. So, here is a reaction video.

Thanks for the detailed breakdown of the video, Sir. I completely agree to everything you said🔥🔥

[tharunb]

This is like "father watching his son's attitude status"😂😂😂

[soumyapandit]

Teachers schooling students on YouTube... now that's a new genre 😂 .. loved it sir

[kisrisri]

Most Dangerous line: All the best for your 4th year.😂

[rutvikbaxi]

I am myself an IITian and I must say every IIT needs more such open profs like you! Loved it:)))

[SabinCivil]

To be a good engnieer, cracking JEE alone is not sufficient. You have to have some passion for engineering as well. This student completely lacks passion. I studied in IIT Delhi. Professors of IITs are amazing people. They have strong fundamentals. They are up-to-date with the advancements in their technical field. I got completely transformed during my IIT days.

[brickeye]

This professor is an absolute legend. I hope to make it to an IIT and be taught by such great professors

[prashanttiwari]

If we have professors like him, surely India has a great future.

7:58 . That's what I always wanted to hear sir. Everyone of my friends who are planning for engineering says that are all these equations really useful in our life??? You explained exactly as I wanted it to be

[parineetianand]

Sir I have attended your mechanics class in my 1st year in Spring 2019 . That course is still helping me in Engineering Geology .

[dhruv]

Being an engineer myself, during my student days, I felt the same about the courses and it's application in the real world. Due to herd mentality, all the students get the same perception that what we study is not relevant in the industry today. And students don't take the word of the faculty on it even if they say it is important. The best solution to this problem imo is to bring an external Industry working professional and let him take a seminar where he/she can review the syllabus infront of the students and explain its importance with keeping the industry aspects in mind and share it'd application in day to day work in that field with real life example. This will actually make students believe that what they are taught is really useful. And really good video sir.

Omg ....I'm going to persue Naval in IIT MADRAS this year and planning to start a utube channel but when I look at this I'm like proff are themselves keeping an eye on their students in the most impossible way reaction was like BAAP RE BAAP ....bach ke rehna hai....
Proffs are actually of modern age....
And love you sir for the clarity....I watched the video till the very end ..

It's really commendable that the prof is so involved that he wants the upcoming students shouldn't be misled. Simple yet very effective decision by the prof to dispel the rumours spread by a irresponsible youngester.

[AnuragGhosh_Xel]

I'm currently studying Robotics at CMU, and I felt your video is extremely pertinent specially to students who want to do cutting edge work in interdisciplinary areas. My background is from CS and I recognize the shortcomings of my mathematical know-how when I see my cohort, many of them MechE from various IIT's who have a stronger grip on aspects of kinematics and manipulation. Of course, I have a stronger know-how of other aspects, but the basic foundations are extremely important and should be learnt as early as possible. Mechanics, Linear Algebra, 3D Geometry and Calculus of Variations remains the same no matter what treatment you are exposed to.

[DontWorryBeHappeh]

I've never liked one major aspect of education. We're expected to make long term decisions on our career pathway at the age of 17. I am currently 25 and to this day can struggle with my career path irrespective of job. I may be passionate about my field but these passions change, so does our curiousity. It's mind boggling tbh.

[PavanKumar-pgsg]

Professor laughing at some clips in the video, very similar to the reaction of a student watching tharun's video. Good review Sir.

[deepratipnandi]

It's like the teacher checking your assignment in front of u 🤣

[asuayuki]

I'm in IITB Aerospace department and none of the profs. here are as chill as you :D

[TIMVIX]

You are such a cool professor! Your analysis was so unbiased and to-the-point. You gave the boy credit where he deserves, and stated the facts where it was needed. Wishing you all the best professor!
