Those numbers are just department codes, yaar – like 18 for Math, 6 for Electrical. But honestly, they feel like symbols of a world that sorts people by labels. From my IIT lab, I saw brilliant minds get reduced to "he's from the 16 series" or "she's an 8". My own PhD applications? They'll just stamp me as another candidate from a certain department code, ignoring the mountain of context behind it.
