If I get a seat in PGIMS Rohtak, should I drop a year to get another college or join this?
I fail to understand why you are even considering a drop year when you can get into the most reputed medical college in India, PGIMS Rohtak. It is second second-best college in Haryana and its Mecial ranking by NIRF was 49 out of 50 in India 2023. It is a reputable medical college in India, and getting a seat there is a great achievement.
The institute boasts of excellent placements and being a government college it has several advantages too. My friend was a gold medalist at PGIMS and is currently a doctor at AIIMS Delhi. His career is in full bloom and half the year he is outside India attending conferences.
So, taking a drop year when you have the option of joining PGIM SRohtak is not wise at all.
How did IIIT Delhi become so good in just 8 years of its existence?
IIIT Delhi, although a newly established institute has been fast gaining reputation and has witnessed fast-paced growth over the past few years. Many factors combined have resulted in this. Here are some of the unique traits that helped it gain a reputation in such a short span of time
- Idea: IIIT Delhi brought to life the unique idea of establishing an engineering institute in India, that would restrict its prospective students to only a single branch. Moreover, it had the audacity to set itself in the capital city of India that too with state government assistance.
Patience: IIIT Delhi has been patiently waiting for the results for a long time now. It began from the library building of another institute, NSIT, and now has shifted to its own accredited campus. - Honesty: The professors of IIIT Delhi are known for their academic honesty and don't sugarcoat things to make them look appealing. Their genuineness is a unique trait that attracts students a lot.

My son got a 2339 rank in the JEE Advanced and 362 in BITSAT. Which should he choose, IIT Bhubaneswar CSE dual degree or BITS Goa CS?
Among the two options, IIT Bhubaneswar CSE dual degree and BITS Goa CS, the latter seems to be a more promising option. Let me justify my stance in a better way.
The IIT Bhubaneswar dual degree has many flaws like
- You will be wasting one year of your education during which you could have done your Masters from a more recognized institute and in the branch you like.
- Deciding to do MTech in a branch you aren’t sure about is risky and you may end up regretting it later. You might want to do MBA and not MTech after your bachelor's but the dual degree restricts
Financially too IIT Bhubaneswar dual degree is a poor decision. You will waste one year earning nothing and be paying extra fees all the more. BITS Goa CS m is better in almost all aspects like its alumni, start-up culture, placements, and campus facilities. So, I will recommend you choose BITS Goa over IIT Bhubaneswar.
Where can I get a Utkal University PG entrance question?
You have to contact the respective department. One of my friends who was preparing for the MFC exam got all the questions from the office of the Department of Commerce. They may charge you but it is a very reasonable amount.
It also depends on whether the department is giving the questions. For example, the MBA Department does not give any question papers for certain reasons.
