Should I drop if I am getting a low branch in IIT Roorkee?

AG

Lives in Roorkee, Uttarakhand, India

No, taking a drop just because you belong to a less preferred branch is highly illogical because the branch rarely matters. In fact, what you learn inside the classroom is hardly applicable when you actually work in the industry. 

Instead, you can inculcate new skills to broaden your job prospects. Explore diverse fields like Data Science, machine learning, IoT, Blockchain technology, web development, android development, and many more. Learn one of these and hone these to your advantage in the future.

A huge platform called MOOC is meant for students who want to pursue additional courses to appear better in interviews or target other fields than their core branches. Invest your time and efforts in these fields and you will find ways to success you never knew existed.

So we can safely conclude that it’s your own passion that is the driving factor and not the choice of your branch. After all, the CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai was a metallurgy and material science student at IIT KGP!

SG
Sudipta Ghose Posted On : August 24th, 2023
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology Silchar (2020)

Scoring a CGPA of 9+ at NIT Silchar is challenging but not impossible. With the right mindset and strategy, one can easily attain this score. However, the study strategy varies from person to person to person. Here is what my brother at NIT Silchar followed that helped him score a CGPA of 9+

  • Attend classes regularly : Oke can never underestimate the knowledge you gain during classroom sessions because when you revise the same afterward it engraves better. So try to attend classes for the important subjects. 
  • Class notes: Maintaining and studying from the class notes is a crucial step while aiming for a high CGPA. For most subjects, going through class notes is more than enough to score decently. grades. However, you are aiming for a 9+ so you need to refer to other sources too. Make digital notes from the PPTs and PDFs.
  • Study everything: Try not to skip any topic however minuscule it may seem to be. 
  • Write concise answers : While attempting the paper, make sure your answers are crisp and to the point. Exaggerating won’t help you and might even result in a negative marking. Try to write the answers in points rather than paragraphs.
  • Numerical: Don’t just go through numericals but practice them daily as they are very scoring.
  • Time Management: Manage your time well while attempting your exam.
  • Other sources : If you are targeting a high GPA, you cannot solely rely on class notes. Study from standard books and understand the concepts well.

Lastly, don’t make the purpose of your life to achieve a high CGPA and sacrifice your passions and hobbies in the process.

Is NSIT good for a BBA?

Veda Burman Posted On : August 23rd, 2023

Here are a few pros and cons of a BBA from NSUT Delhi-

PROS

  • Brand: NSUT Delhi is a brand in itself and has a good reputation in the entire country. Many companies visit for recruitment, so you need not worry about that front.
  • Location: NSUT Delhi is located in Dwarka, the heart of Delhi. You will get good connectivity from the campus. Shops and malls can also be accessed easily.
  • Students: The selection process is rigid so the crowd consists of hardworking, bright, and innovative students.

CONS

  • Hostel- The college has only half the seats in its hostels as compared to the total students studying in it. Therefore, getting a seat can be quite difficult.
  • Animals- This may shock you but because of its forest area, NSUT Delhi is home to some strange animal species including snakes, monitor lizards, etc.
  • Stream- NSUT Delhi is mainly known for its Engineering, and not its management courses. Also, you won’t have very good interactions with the Engineers and there might be some friction.
  • Uncertainty - BBA is a new course at NSIT Delhi. Therefore, you will find difficulty in gathering placement records and study material. Also, the environment might not really suit you.
  • Strictness- Study and attendance criteria are strict at NSUT Delhi. You might feel overwhelmed at times.

I would say NSUT Delhi is a good choice for a BBA but if you get any DU college, go for it.

Where do the bottom 10-20 percent scorers in a batch at IIM Ahmedabad generally end up in life?

S
Sagardeep Posted On : December 21st, 2022
Graduated from IIMA in '98

The placement on campus is affected by your grades. Most finance and consulting firms are prohibited. So it comes down to startups, Tier 2 marketing, media, and other companies, or companies that hire for attitude.

Once you start working, you will be able to easily make up lost ground if you are willing to hustle and communicate well. As a result, there is no single general rule. Some people in the bottom 20% fare extremely poorly, while others are moderately well. In comparison to the top 20%, where the majority perform exceptionally well and a small minority perform exceptionally poorly.

Where do the bottom 10-20 percent scorers in a batch at IIM-Ahmedabad generally end up in life?

SK
Suresh Kumar Posted On : February 11th, 2021
MBA from IIM Ahmedabad, 2019

Your grades do impact the campus placement. Most of the finance and consultant companies will be out of bound if you do not maintain a certain CGPA. So, your choice is limited to the startups, media companies, tier 2 marketing, or companies that hire for character.

Once you start working, if you are willing to hustle and can communicate well, then you will be able to recover lost ground easily. And who knows, the startup that no one wanted to associate with might become the next big thing in the industry.

So, there is no generic rule here. As some of the students, who are in the bottom 20% do bad, some do average, and some make it big. In contrast to the top 20%, where most of the students do well, and a small minority of students do bad. 

Overall, it depends upon you how you perform in the real world as some top students also do struggle whereas some of the bottom students shine.

Does the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuroscience (NIMHANS), Bangalore have RCI registration for M.Phil in clinical psychology?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : September 30th, 2023

No, NIMHANS does not have registration as of now. The Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) recognized NIMHANS’ M.Phil Clinical Psychology course from 2010–11 to 2014–15 as per the RCI’s 2017 List of the Institutions Approved by RCI. But now it does not. However, it does not mean the NIMHANS M.Phil Clinical Psychology course is invalid or not recognized. 

NIMHANS enjoys the status of an ‘Institute of National Importance owing to its top-notch education quality and huge contributions to society. It therefore has become autonomous and has the right to regulate all its functions like starting a new course, conducting exams, recognizing its own degrees, etc. So, no approval of RCI is required for the degrees awarded by NIMHANS. 

In simple words, NIMHANS’ M.Phil Clinical Psychology degrees are no longer recognized by RCI but by NIMHANS itself because it’s now an Institute of National Importance. As for the value of its degrees, they enjoy good recognition globally.
