A UROP for a first-year like me is a dream you chase with cold emails and a polished portfolio; mine's paid, which is vital, as the stipend wires home to my baba's shop for the roof repair. It involves real lab work—I'm calibrating sensors, not just fetching chai—which feels a world away from my old classroom’s din. The obvious answer says it's for credit or prestige, but for us, the rupees are a quiet triumph, more solid than any grade.
