Is ECE at SVNIT Surat that bad?
ECE is not an ideal department for someone who doesn’t know about the challenges that are present in Engineering. It is not the best department for learning and self discovery. The teaching is not good in the department.
But for someone with a passion for this branch, it is fair enough to choose ECE over other fields. Moreover, SVNIT carries the NIT tag, which is of great value. But without any particular interest or passion for this field, it is difficult to get through ECE at SVNIT.
The faculty is not supportive and Engineering is tiring in itself. Thus, I would recommend you choose B.Tech ECE at SVNIT only if you have a keen interest in this field.
Is IGNOU accredited by NAAC?
No, IGNOU is not accredited by NAAC. However, it’s accredited by UGC, which is the culminating body of all universities in India.
NAAC is an autonomous body established by the UGC of India to assess and accredit institutions of higher education in the country. NAAC is only for regular institutions, not for distance institutions.
Note that IGNOU is the best open university and its degree is valid everywhere.
Does IIT Delhi award scholarships for lower-income-group students?
IIT Delhi provided Merit-Means scholarships to its students under which, free-of-cost education is imparted to students belonging to families with income lower than INR 4.5 Lakhs. In addition, students are given a 1000k monthly stipend. However, the mess fees are not waived and students have to pay them despite the scholarship.
These scholarships give opportunities to the ones who are financially weak but want to attain success. It also stops the continuous hike in the fees annually.
How much should an external student score in the AMUEEE to hope for a selection?
For engineering courses, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) conducts AMUEEE each year. It is one of the toughest entrance examinations of AMU. There is no fixed score for any external student’s selection in AMUEEE. If the difficulty level of the question paper is moderate the cutoff score for external students is around 70-75 in general. It is 60-65 for internal students.
Varying Factors - Cutoff:
- The cut-off score varies on a year to year basis, there’s another factor which is the difficulty of the question paper which plays an important role in fixing the cut-off list.
- Apart from all these factors, even cut-off lists vary from branch to branch as well, for example, the cut-off score will remain higher for computer & electrical engineering branches, but when it comes to civil & mechanical the cut-off score remains low.
AMUEEE expected cutoff 2020:
|
Category |
Cutoff Marks |
|
General |
75-80 |
|
Reserved Category |
70-75 |
|
External Students |
Above 70 |
|
Internal Students |
Above 60 |
For 2020 the expected cutoff is above 70 for external students. So focus more on your preparation to achieve the best score you can. Preparing with a pre-set target score may limit your options.

IIT Dhanbad is famous for the excellent quality and variety of food served in its mess. Here, there are 4 meals provided to the students namely breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner. The food served is great both in terms of quantity and quality.
For reference, I have shared the menu of one typical day at IIT Dhanbad:
|

Breakfast |
Bread Toast, Butter, Jam and Tea |
Vegetable Cutlet and Milk |

Why do most chartered accountants fail in the finance courses at IIM Ahmedabad?
Some Chartered Accountants or commerce graduates may have struggled with final courses at IIM Ahmedabad, possibly because the courses are far too advanced and specialized (such as financial engineering subjects), or because IIM A likes to surprise students in a variety of ways.
However, this is a rare case. This does not happen very often.
Is NIT Jamshedpur for civil engineering good in terms of placements and packages? What is the average package for a civil engineer?
The answer to this question depends on your interpretation of a good placement.
If you are looking for a decent core/ non core job, NIT Jamshedpur Civil won’t disappoint you. However, if you are looking for very high packages from top brands, you’ll be disappointed. In fact, any core branch (civil, mechanical, electrical, production, metallurgy etc.), won’t fetch you high packages. This can happen only if you have graduated from an old IIT, BITS Pilani, or any other top Engineering college.
For 2023, CE saw 97.29% placements and an average CTC of INR 9.57 LPA.
One can’t assess placement figures correctly through the average package. High salary offers for a handful of students inflate the entire figure. Try to research the future prospects of Civil, and explore your interests.
But overall, the placements are quite good at the Civil department of NIT Jamshedpur. You can expect plenty of offers and a decent salary package.
How's NIT Patna? How's placement here? And who is going to join NIT Patna this year
NIT Patna is always considered a low-ranking NIT mainly because of its old infrastructure and extremely small campus. NIT Patna's Overall ranking by NIRF is 101 out of 200 colleges in India in 2023. However, these ranking bodies cannot be relied on as their criteria are vague. If you evaluate NIT Patna solely on the basis of academics and placements then trust me it's among the top 15 NITs.
Let's talk about placements first:
NIT Patna Placements 2023 are ongoing and more than 120 companies visited the campus during the placement drive. Around 609 students were placed and the highest package stood at INR 52 LPA whereas the average package stood at INR 14 LPA. Some of the top recruiters included ONGC, Bharat Electronics, Google, etc.
Here are the company-wise placements at NIT Patna:
|
Name of the Company |
CTC Offered |
|
Amazon |
INR 1.8 CPA |
|
Meta |
INR 1.6 CPA |
|
|
INR 1.1 CPA |
As you can see the placement scenario is great and its expected to improve further in the future. Here are some additional reasons why you need to consider joining NIT Patna
- Its location in the heart of the city gives students easy access to GATE tuitions. In fact. In 2020 the GATE topper was from NIT Patna
- The campus is tiny with limited facilities but the Ganga Ghaat of NIT Patna adds beauty to the overall campus and ambiance.
- The competition is high thereby maintaining the quality of intake.
Overall, NIT Patna is a great institute but fails to get the hype it deserves.
What is the scope of Aerospace Engineering in India and abroad for an IIT graduate?
Today, aerospace engineering is growing at a steady rate among the other engineering fields in India. However, outside India, it has already been established in the past years and has many more opportunities than in India.
Both the government and private sector come into play when we talk about the aerospace industry. Government Organizations: Some of the biggest government organizations that are involved in the aerospace industry today are
- SRO
- DRDO
- NAL
- HAL
- ISRO
To secure a job in these huge organizations, one needs to pass an interesting exam and sit for an interview. These organizations have decent salary packages. In the private sector, some of the biggest organizations are
- Boeing
- Airbus
- GE Aviation
- TATA advanced materials limited
- Honeywell
- GKN Aerospace
- TATA advanced systems
- Mahindra Aerospace
Academia: Another job prospect of an aerospace engineer within India is to enter academia. This basically means you have to conduct research at sum Institute and reputed research centers and pursue a Ph.D. at an IIT. Very few people go for this option.
Abroad: For job prospects outside India one needs to pursue an MS or Ph.D. in aerospace engineering. They don’t consider BTech pass-outs for their jobs unless they get a permanent residence permit and also higher education in the form of a master's and Ph.D. However, you can go for research in this field as it is not restricted on the basis of nationality. You can work in NASA or ESA provided that you are simply good at what you do.
These were some of the job prospects in the aerospace field. For more information, you can contact people from this background and enquire about career prospects in aerospace engineering.
How is NIT Silchar for MTtech?
I asked a senior at NIT Silchar about its MTech program and had quite a detailed conversation. He concluded it by saying the MTech program here was in a poor state considering the academics as well as job opportunities. He further stated that he wouldn’t recommend it to anyone because he himself regrets it big time.
Apparently, the MTech placement scenario at NIT Silchar is pathetic and the placement percentage is very Leo. Even the ones getting placed don’t secure a very good package. Surprisingly some of the MTech professors are forbidden from teaching BTech students because of their poor teaching style and knowledge.
So, I wouldn’t recommend you to join NIT Silchar if you actually want to pursue a Master's degree.
