Can I do a B.E. in an evening college in Karnataka after a diploma from NTTF?
Yes, you can do BE in an evening college in Karnataka after a diploma from NTTF. It will depend on the eligibility criteria of the specific university you are applying for. Anyway, you have two options.
- Option A – You can join any BE course normally which people do after 12th. If you have completed your 12th before you joined the diploma course at NTTF, only then this is possible.
- Option B – You can join the BE course laterally. If NTTF does provide a diploma degree is approved by the AICTE, then you can join the lateral degree program.
So choose one of the options according to the specific eligibility criteria of the institute and university.
Should I go for the Integrated MTech course in IIEST or rather do the BTech in Jadavpur University or some NIT (say, DGP or Calicut) and then try and get a better college for my MTech?
I have a few friends from IIEST. According to them, choosing IIEST can be good. For departments like Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Mining, the faculty base of IIEST is great. The civil engineering department at IIEST is one of the oldest in the country. Also, as per the new norm, you don’t have to complete a dual degree.
You can have an exit option after completing your 4-Year B.Tech. Which is definitely a good option. However, if you want to choose CS/IT, for placements, top or average NIT/JU will offer better placement opportunities.
So, consider all your options and choose according to your convenience.
Is biological engineering at IIT Madras good enough to be happy about?
The department of Biological Engineering at IIT Madras is located in the newly built building of the institute and thus has world-class infrastructure and facilities.
Despite mediocre placements, this placement is best suited for those keen to pursue this field sincerely and has some of the most learned professors in the institute. The well-structured curriculum of the department makes the students capable enough to avail higher study opportunities at foreign universities. The course also provides a semester exchange program.
Only a few core companies offer jobs in the biological department but students rarely go unplaced due to the abundant non-core job offers. You can get jobs in any sector of IT/Finance/Consultancy even if you belong to the Biological department. This is the best part of IITs. The job prospects are not limited to the branch and you can explore various sectors and opportunities are in plenty. So, this department is not a bad choice and can offer you the best opportunities.
What are the minimum passing marks at RGPV University for the BE program?
When it comes to B.E program, there are typically two papers that you will have to deal with at RGPV University: theory and practical. The theory paper usually accounts for 70 marks, and in order to pass it, you will need to score at least 22 marks. The other paper is practical, and in this examination, the marks you receive will be based on how well you answer the questions asked by the external examiner, as well as your attendance record. Your head of department (HOD) will then assign a score to your practical based on these factors.
To summarize, in order to pass your theory paper, you need to aim for a minimum score of 22 out of 70. Meanwhile, your practical score will depend on your performance during the examination, as well as your attendance record. Keep in mind that it is important to focus on both aspects of the examination in order to succeed in your B.E studies.
Is life at NMIMS Mumbai boring and hectic for a BTech student?
If you are a B.Tech student at MPSTME, your day may vary from being too boring to too exciting depending on how you choose to spend it. If you have lectures from 9 am to 4 pm, your day could go like this:
9 am-11 am:
You may experience some delays when getting to the college gate due to traffic, local train travel, and fights for rickshaws. Once you arrive, you will need your id card to enter the premises, and it needs to be scanned on a biometric machine, which sometimes takes a few tries. The reception lobby has two lifts, one for odd floors and one for even floors, with long lines. The lift staff and canteen staff have priority in using the lifts. If you're running late, consider using the stairs to get to your classroom, but this can be exhausting if your classroom is on a higher floor.
When you reach your classroom, you may find that the door is locked or that the faculty won't let you enter because you're late. You may feel frustrated, but keep in mind that you're not alone as your classmates may have also been kicked out. This could be an opportunity to head to Prithvi Cafe, the nearest cafe, and hang out with friends.
11 am-1 pm:
If you manage to get into your next lecture, you may have to take a seat at the front if all other seats are taken. If you're interested in the subject and the faculty, you will pay full attention; otherwise, you may try to pass the time. You can't use your mobile while sitting at the front. After the lecture, you may check your mobile and find out that the 3-4 pm lecture is canceled, but you need to complete an assignment during the break in the 2-3 pm lecture. You'll need to plan your time accordingly and find a seat in the back.
During the next lecture, you may need to complete the assignment, which could be challenging since the websites that could help you might be blocked. However, you can still use Wikipedia and copy information to complete your assignment. After finishing your work, you may feel accomplished.
1 pm-2 pm:
It's break time, and you'll want to head to the canteen to catch a seat. The MPSTME canteen is one of the best canteens among the SVKM's colleges. Here, you can order food, share it, make fun of your friends, and meet friends from other streams, which can help you take a break from lectures and assignments.
2 pm-3 pm:
When you get back to the class, you may sit at the back and witness your classmates submit their assignments or make excuses for not completing them. Whether you choose to pay attention in the lecture is entirely up to you, but the faculty will try to make the lecture interesting. It's the most important part of the day, so try to stay focused.
Overall, it's essential to manage your time well and stay disciplined to make the most of your day.
Which college should I choose, PSIT Kanpur or IMS Ghaziabad for a B.Tech through CS?
In my opinion, IMS Ghaziabad is a much better option than PSIT Kanpur mainly because of its NCR location. When choosing a college, a factor of utmost importance is where the college is situated because your location will impact your college life largely. Opting for a college situated in NCR is a boon as it will give you a lot of exposure to activities and education in general. You get more exposure to industries and startups and thus getting internships is a lot easier. One more advantage is that you can avail many good coaching facilities in the NCR location which may not be possible in a city like Kanpur.
The campus life is less strict at IMS Ghaziabad than at PSIT and there are no strict attendance rules. The fees and value of a degree are almost similar in both colleges but you can enjoy your life much better at NCR colleges. I am strongly against you joining PSIT Kanpur because
- Not a good location
- Unnecessary struck rules related to attendance
- You have to be stuck 9-5 completing unnecessary assignments which have no real importance
- Not a good college to enjoy life and hang out
- No coding culture in PSIT
Despite it all, PSIT Kanpur has a 100% placement percentage and will help you get places in CS. Weigh your options and choose wisely.
I have got a CGPA of 6.5 in my first semester of BTech in IIIT-Hyderabad. Can I improve it till 8.5 for getting an admission offer in a prestigious management institute in IIMs or ISB?
People usually have two opinions regarding MBA admissions. First, the admissions have little to do with numbers, second, CGPA and numbers are extremely crucial. My answer is here to support the second opinion and she’s light on the importance of CGPA.
Don’t decide on your next degree hastily before even completing the first one. You may want to explore more interests before deciding what you want to finally choose. Most people in IIT commit the grave mistake of not focusing on their Academics because they think that the ECE or IT sector is not their cup of tea. They forget that they are among the best computer science minds right now and do not make the best use of this opportunity. Identifying the opportunities offered by the institute is a crucial step before deciding on your future career. Even if after enough reflection you realize that the IT sector is not for you, you may explore other options.
Recently many alumni of IIIT Hyderabad have joined as graduates of IIMs after gaining work experience. But almost every alumnus I have looked up had an excellent CGPA, nothing less than 8.5.
So CGPA is not the only factor but is one of the most important factors during admissions at IIMs. One can get into an IIM even with an average CGPA but having a good CGPA will increase the plethora of opportunities definitely.
