Ques. Is Holkar Science College good for a B.Sc. in CS/PCM, if I couldn't secure admission in DU due to some family reasons?

● Top Answer By Disha Yadav, on 22 Nov 21

Ans. No, Holkar Science College might not be a good option for B.Sc. One of my friends studied there and according to him the college lacked many things. There was no proper infrastructure, Buildings were neglected of proper care and maintenance. The ambience and the student crowd is not healthy. As most of them do not have any ambition or interest in learning new things. The students are also not competitive enough, which makes them less dedicated towards their studies.  Even the faculties are careless and do not bother much if the student is learning anything or not. They often skip classes which ultimately leads to not completing the syllabus. No cultural events or extracurricular activities take place here. It is suggested that you look for other options, compare them with it and then finalize.Read more

Ques. What should I choose, a dual degree MSc program in BITS Hyderabad or some branch in NIT Raipur, or CSE in NIT Puducherry?

● Top Answer By Sreelekha Ghosh, on 25 Oct 21

Ans. Choose BITS Hyderabad over NIT Raipur or NIT Puducherry. Here are some of the reasons for choosing this institute: They offer a beautiful campus with an enthusiastic student crowd. BITS Hyderabad has updated modern machinery and lab facilities. The placements definitely differ between the BITS and NITs. NIT Raipur is very old-fashioned in its approach towards studying and learning. Their faculties teaching method is old and prefers their students mugging up notes rather than learning and understanding something. BITS, unlike NIT Raipur, their teaching method is industry-oriented. You might think that going for a dual degree is better as IT companies only prefer CSE graduates. But nowadays this notion has changed as with big data and analytics creating a boom, more and more such companies visiting campuses and hiring people from all branches. Therefore it is suggested that you go for BITS Hyderabad, where you will grow and learn in a much more competitive environment. Your vision will be broadened.Read more

Ques. How is the integrated M.Sc in Pondicherry University?

● Top Answer By Avni Sen on 29 Sept 21

Ans. Some of my friends studied at Pondicherry University. According to them, they offer three Integrated M.Sc programs – Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Physics, Chemistry and Applied Geology History, Sociology and Political Science You will have to choose from these three disciplines only and then choose the major subject among them.  The advantages of the course and university are listed below. You can exit the course after three years with a B.Sc degree. The syllabus is light even though there are three major subjects and thus you can take up any additional courses you like. The university offers freedom in terms of uniform, timetable, and everything else while many of the undergraduate colleges still have school-like rules. You can study an undergraduate course from a university which is pretty rare. Studying 5 years in an Arts stream is difficult and should be reconsidered. The best course is Physics, Chemistry, and Applied Geology. Doing M.Sc in Computer Science is also not a good idea.Read more

Ques. How do I apply for a B.Sc. in Holkar Science College, Indore?

● Top Answer By Rishi Singh, on 22 Nov 21

Ans. You can apply online through MP UG counselling and put Holkar Science College as your first preference, with your preferred subject combination.  If you pass the cutoff then the following process will be easy but if you cannot make the cut off and want to join Holkar then wait for the publication of the second and third lists.  Most of the students panic when they are unable to get in the first round. But there are many students who later do not get admission there, this makes space for other students belonging in the 2nd and 3rd lists.  So, it does not matter from what list you get admission, as long as you can be a part of Holkar. There are more than three rounds so try waiting, as it will create some vacancies.Read more
