My remark :- in the post below 👇 " Chess is great but useless as an end . Academia is everything, always was, always will be. Let me add -> Chess industrialisation will create money and employment but long term -> chess is not good for macro economics -> academia or high science , rote or entrepreneurial-> should be the full focus Thats why chess is an easier way to earning a livelihood. Does chess help in academic pursuit ? Nope- chess is great fun ( i am a chess league player)- thats why - it does not test you because it does not bore you enough. Academia - never stops being boring, challenging because you need 5 years to make ond move ! Akhil Tripathi - This discussion , while good philosophy, ultimately, epistemology- -> will show that classes - forces a more direct control and regression will prove - you ensure more people passing with classes- that has to be the aim. Emotional intelligence is not in the brief of curriculum though it is unwritten convention. So? Attendance is good for now. Add - entrepreneurial engineering in one year with no classes -> mtech preferrably. This is better."

NO NEED TO ATTEND CLASSES AT IISc BANGALORE?! Getting into IISc, the 1st NIRF-ranking university in India, is a dream for so many of us. The prestige, the opportunities, the freedom—it’s what we all hope for. But what truly sets IISc apart is its trust in its students. All you have to do is sign a register, and the day is yours. When I was in NISER, we had an 80% attendance policy. Missing classes wasn’t really an option. For someone like me, who always had to stick to strict rules, this feels like a whole new world. Complete freedom! You can focus on internships, startups, or personal projects without worrying about attendance. For some, this sounds amazing—complete freedom! For others, it feels risky. Without structure, how do you stay focused? This system trusts students to take charge of their learning. But then, I wonder—does this kind of system work for everyone? IISc students are some of the brightest and most motivated. Would it still work in other colleges? Freedom like this sounds amazing, but it’s also a big responsibility. I think it pushes you to stay disciplined while giving space for creativity. Disclaimer: This post is for informational and discussion purposes only. The "Zero Attendance Rule" is not an officially confirmed policy of IISc Bangalore. Do you think this kind of freedom would work for everyone? #linkedin #innovation #science #research #breakthrough #scienceandtechnology #inspiration #sciastra

1wWhile this system might prove to be revolutionary to some, not going to be good for everyone. We tend to forget that a lot of 18-19 year olds have a tendency of falling off if not guided properly.
