It is quite likely that the vast majority of students are unhappy with their Department or Institute after the seat allocation through JOSAA counselling is over.
So what to do now?
Students should try to find more about their Department, and not be biased by ill-informed opinions. They should try to find out what professional engineers from their Department do and what kind of cutting edge research is being done in their allocated Departments.
The points I put forward are based on what I had seen myself when I was an undergraduate student at IIT Kharagpur and also as a faculty members over the past few years at IIT Kharagpur.
This video is part of a YouTube playlist where I give various general advice to students at different levels (Bachelor, Master, PhD):
