Core
Non core
Non core jobs are in plenty not only for GPT students but students of all other branches as well. The sectors in which these jobs are offered include
Most of these jobs can be secured with good aptitude skills while coding and Data Scientist specifically require programming skills.
The primary step to become an excellent Data Scientist is to become proficient in some programming languages. Some of them have been listed below
Having a basic knowledge of these languages is not sufficient. One needs to become proficient in data structure and algorithms to kick-start a career as a Data Scientist. Apart from programming, you will also have to broaden your knowledge base related to Math and cover topics like Discrete Mathematics, Linear Algebra, Statistics
IT giants like Microsoft and Google don’t just offer jobs to anybody. Here are a few guidelines to secure a core data science job
Anyone who follows these guidelines will reap the maximum benefits and become a successful data scientist for sure.

I hope you got an idea of the opening and closing JEE Advanced ranks for B.Tech admissions at IIT Kanpur, IIT Roorkee, and IIT Kharagpur.
Although many might not agree, I think ECE is much better than electrical engineering. People tend to choose IID mainly because of the brand name that comes attached to it. If the tag was to be negated, then by all terms IIT Roorkee is better than IIT Delhi’s Electrical Engineering.
Moreover, I feel Electrical has too much workload both in IIT Delhi as well as Roorkee. This does not save you time for extracurricular activities.
Delhi is one of the most polluted cities in India and does affect the overall educational experience of the students. Although my personal suggestion is to opt for IIT Roorkee ECE, it’s better to talk to students from both institutes and branches.
In order to get 10 transcripts, you will have to provide 10 university names. For this,
You can personally visit and receive the transcripts or wait for them to be delivered to the address.
In my opinion, IIT Roorkee is a better option for Engineering in Biotechnology. This department was established in 2002 and is a subdomain of Chemical Engineering. Over the past few years, it has grown by leaps and bounds in every aspect. It has excellent connections with good pharma companies. IDPL, Rishikesh is very close to Roorkee. Additionally, Delhi and the NCR cities like Gurgaon, Noida, and Faridabad which are home to many pharma companies are in close proximity to the Institute. The placement scenario of Biotechnology at IIT Roorkee has been decent till now. The faculty is very approachable and helps you secure internships.
Most branches conduct direct counseling without any official written test or interview.
Here are a few points of caution one should consider regarding counseling
It’s important to note that not all students summoned for counseling get a seat.
Yes, It certainly is possible for an IIT Roorkee metallurgy student to change his branch to Mechanical.
In fact, based on recent stats, the metallurgy branch has the highest number of students opting for a branch change around 16 students out of 36 branch changers. Yet, I would like to bring to light the fact that IIT Roorkee has a bit of a complex branch change policy in comparison to other IITs.
Although branch change at IIT Roorkee might seem difficult, with the right mindset and determination one can surely get into his preferred branch.
Around 2-3 seats are available in every branch at IIT Roorkee for branch change. One seat is saved for the reserved category. Here are a few reasons why branch change is a tedious task in IIT Roorkee
The point is, change your branch only if extremely necessary because one, you will have to commute yourself to the fullest and second every branch has its own scope so it’s better to explore than make a hasty decision.
