Feasibility Verdict: Manageable with strict weekend pacing
With a 2.5h daily commute and 9-5 offline classes, weekday evenings are prone to cognitive fatigue. Schedule your 14h IITM study block primarily across Saturday/Sunday (5h/day) and light weekday revisions (0.8h/day). Avoid registering for 3+ courses while daily commute exceeds 2 hours.
