Protractors and rulers I've used before (maths). But the 'Roll-n-draw' ruler I've not seen before and am not really sure how you'd use it heh.

Roll-n-draw is used for drawing parallel lines though it is less accurate and cumbersome compared to drafters

I had to imagegoogle 'drafter', it seems to be a compass?

Well the basic reason to prefer these fancy rulers is cause even a mistake of 1 cm or some degree angle can ruin the whole drawing and you will have to restart.

My dad used paper with a millimeter-grid on it, you don't have those?

And why don't you get a drafter?

@trinsec @freemo
Milimeter grids are good but in technical drawing you also have to draw parallel lines to angled lines not just X and Y axis.

For using drafters you need a table or bench made for the purpose of technical drawing (our drawing papers are very big), so ofcourse people don't have those in their homes also drafters aren't sold in everywhere especially outside cities. As well as I only have to do technical drawing for just one semester which is gonna end on 20 August

Aha. Well, do your best and I wish you the very best of luck! The sooner you can get to actual computer science-related stuff, the better. :)

Well this is Indian education it never gets better.
There are literally computer engineers here with degree who don't know how to actually code
Anyway I focus on real outside of curriculum activities so that's Why I am currently working on a research paper with the dean of my college

Don't feel bad. There are people here who graduated in computer science who barely know how turn on a computer. A study is just for a piece of paper and lots of theory, the real knowledge and experience you have to get from the big world.
