What do you mean by a 2 Tire university? Does it mean like a deemed university but takes admission from state level entrance tests? Then nice to meet you, I am also in such a situation (but doing ECE).

I was just wondering do we have only a CS hacker scene? I mean I am more into hardware, embedded systems and such, do we have communities for that? Also are there any such communities in or near Ahmedabad (or Gandhinagar).
