At MIT, you declare a major after a year of exploring, and switching is just a formality—no extra fees, just a chat with your advisor. In IIT, switching branches is a high-stakes *reservation* based on your first-year rank, a whole different pressure cooker. The cost difference? My IIT friends’ fees are already a tiny fraction of mine, so “cheaper” is a *kichhu nei* comparison. My own switch from physics to Course 2 felt like refactoring code without losing legacy data, possible only because the system here is built for iteration, not a single, make-or-break exam.
