What is the top branch in IET Lucknow?
The answer for this question depends on what your preferences are and what your goals are for the future.
- If your goal is to get into PSUs, you will have to work hard in ME and if you want to work in the private sector then it would be a good idea if you prepare for something else.
- You can also opt for pursuing higher studies after completion of your program with the branch you have chosen for yourself.
- Computer Science (CS) is the branch that is the most popular among the students.
- The placements and packages offered to the students of CS are higher than those of the students of the other branches.
- Sometimes even the people who have graduated in Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering work hard to get selected in IT companies.
- For getting recruited by an IT company, you need to have some knowledge about data structures, algorithms, and have a basic understanding of the language of programming.
However, the branches of Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering can often lead to recruitment in PSUs with packages going up to INR 30-40 LPA.
I am a first-year mechanical student at VNIT Nagpur. Should I try again for BITS? How is mechanical engineering at BITS Pilani when compared to VNIT Nagpur?
I think you should try for BITS again because of the additional advantages. BITS Pilani mechanical engineering courses are known for their rigorous curriculum, intensive industry collaborations and experienced faculties.
The dynamic learning environment at BITS Pilani prepares students for diverse career paths by fostering creativity and critical thinking. BITS Pilani also has excellent placement opportunities through strong industry collaborations and alumni networks around the world.
What are the best one year full-time executive MBA courses in India? Can anyone who has done the IPMX course at IIM Lucknow share their experience?
There are mainly 3 MBA programs in India:
- Two Year Program in Management- Aimed at people with less than 2 years of experience
- One Year Program in Management- Aimed at people with 2-15 years of experience
- Part Time Program in Management- Aimed at working professionals
Before we dwell on the best one-year full-time executive MBA courses in India, let’s understand what exactly a one year program is.
The 1-year-program gained fame in India after the success of ISB in the early 2000s. IIMs and other institutes initiated the same and have been offering the 1-year program since late 2000s. This program mainly offers high-quality education for experienced professionals. Some best programs offered in India are
- ISB- PGP (Post Graduate Program)
- IIM Ahmedabad- PGPX (Post Graduate Program for Executives)
- IIM Bangalore- EPGP (Executive Post Graduate Program)
- IIM Kolkata- PGPeX (Post Graduate Program for Executives)
- IIM Lucknow- IPMX (International Program in Management for Executives)
The admissions happen on the basis of GMAT, Essays, and Interviews. It is primarily meant for people with several years of experience but who want to upgrade their managerial skills.
The best part is that the 1-year-program is equivalent to an MBA internationally. Infact, major international rankings such as Financial Times consider the 1-year program. So the 1-year program at the top B-Schools in India will give you a similar experience academically.
As far as the IPMX course is concerned, it is not an Executive MBA.
What are the highest marks obtained by a student in clearing the back paper in AKTU (UPTU)?
As far as the checking of back/carry over papers is concerned, there is no major difference between that of regular papers. It is just a myth that lesser marks are given in back papers than regular ones. In fact, there are many cases where the students scored higher marks on back papers in comparison to their regular ones.
There are some tips you can make use of to get the best out of back papers:
-
For theoretical answers always begin with a heading and definition. Proceed with answering the question in points (especially 10 marks questions)
-
Don't forget to include neat diagrams wherever necessary
-
Don't write extraordinarily long answers and refrain from including irrelevant information.
-
Done leave any questions unanswered. Write whatever little knowledge you have related to the question. You might get 2 or 3 marks for this.
-
If you are unable to go through the entire syllabus, make sure you study the previous 5 years' papers deeply. Almost 50% of the paper is from repeated questions.
The key is to input maximum effort. Start studying at least 10 days prior to your exams to get good results.
How is mathematics at SVNIT?
I graduated from SVNIT some years back. During my time, the faculty and teaching methods for Math were not up to the mark.
I personally love Mathematics, which is why I opted for CSE. The time spent in studying Math at SVNIT made me realize that the teaching methodology was not good at all. During this time, I failed to learn any good Mathematical principles and applications.
The lecturers provided very few examples and cookie cutter solutions instead of explaining why an idea works and where it can be applied. The teachers expect students to mug-up theorems. Fourier Analysis is not given ample time, even though it is the crux of all modern technology and data analysis techniques.
The exams can be easily cleared by learning all the solutions from certain books, instead of using one’s conceptual knowledge and math skills. I would recommend you go through B. S. Grewal. It helped me understand important concepts like ODEs and the Taylor Expansion. Math-III is totally focused on three theorems, and learning the derivations of each one of them.
I do not know the current state of the Mathematics department at SVNIT, but back in my days, the faculty did not try at all to improve the students’ concept building. Thus, if you are really passionate about Math, the department might disappoint you.
What's the difference between COE, CAG and CML at Thapar University?
I have a few friends who graduated from Thapar University and according to them, there is no such or major difference between COE, CAG, and CML. As well as in terms of placements and job opportunities there can be no difference found. COE includes both the software as well as the hardware aspects of a system. If you are interested in job opportunities in the gaming industry or graphics-related industry then you should definitely go for it. Your job opportunities will not be affected by your branch.
These subjects were introduced to give students options as per their interest further in COE. From the 4th semester onwards you are given the option to choose between any of the three.
NIT Silchar is similar to all the other NITs like MANIT, NITJ, NITD still its cutoff/ranking is low, what are the probable reasons?
If you look at all the criteria MHRD takes into consideration while ranking institutes, NIT Silchar is at par with most NITs but in terms of research, and infrastructure. The only parameter in which NIT Silchar was behind NIT Warangal was reputation and the difference was drastic. This affected the overall ranking of the institute in turn lowering the NT Silchar cutoffs.
I think the major reason behind its poor reputation is its remote location and the rumors related to it. It's falsely rumored to be in a Naxalite region and the exposure is believed to be minimal. The institute has a bad reputation, particularly in North India.
I have friends from several NITs and I have safely concluded that NIT Silchar is better than many but it's difficult to convince people of the same and the institute has a bad reputation.
To fix this problem, we need our alumni to be more active in portraying the right image of the institute. Additionally, the institute should hold more inter-college events and strive to build a reputation.
What are the best student organizations or clubs to join at IIT Roorkee? Why should students join them?
IIT Roorkee is well known for its wide range of groups, clubs, and councils for students catering to almost every possible interest. These groups and clubs are broadly categorized into
- Cultural Clubs: These clubs promote numerous cultural activities like Singing, dancing, audio, photography, and cinematography. You can join these clubs even if you aren’t proficient in any of these.
- Technical Clubs: These clubs require a basic level of proficiency for joining. One has to go through auditions to be able to join these clubs. Some of the groups under this category are SDS, IMG, MDG, PAG, ArIES, and Roboconn among many others.
- Compulsory Proficiency (NSO, NCC & NSS): A sports enthusiast should definitely join NSO but it requires a lot of commitment in terms of time and effort. Apart from NSO, you can also join NCC and NSS.
One can witness cutthroat competition in cultural and technical clubs so it’s better to join a group in which you are proficient.

Here are some pros and cons of joining MNNIT Allahabad-
Pros
- MNNIT has a good industry reputation for its CS branch. This brings in cool start-ups and MNCs for placements.
- The coding culture at MNNIT is great. The campus is filled with highly competitive and creative students.
- While 75% is the minimum required attendance, most of the professors don’t give much importance to it. But some are strict about attendance, and you’ll have to attend their classes regularly.

- The seniors are really helpful.
- You can participate in various college clubs like the Lit Club, Quiz Club, etc.

Cons
- Many professors, especially in the CS department, aren’t competent enough. But self effort will get you through.
- The management needs to improve sports facilities.
- The events and fests are a bit disappointing due to lack of proper funding from the administration.
- Allahabad is not a metro city with multiple entertainment facilities. But on the bright side, the living cost is much less compared to Mumbai or Delhi.
