Hello Ishan, Completely relatable. 20+ exp engineer here, I enrolled for the course and I had similar a similar degree of difficulty as well.
The whole point of the course was not a "IIT" tag, but the intellectual fun sheer grind of having to learn. It definitely is not a "rote" learning course where you learn and spit something out.
Democratising education is the only way this place will improve. The remote learner in a remote village should have the same "right-for-education" as a candidate in an urban centre.
I really do believe that you can connect the dots only looking backward, so here is hoping that what is learnt will come to fruition someday. 22^f-300-1.689 in case you know what I am saying
