Can a dropper convert the GD/PI to an admission in Nitie? If, yes what are the consequences the person has to suffer during the span of the course and in placements?

Studied at National Institute of Industrial Engineering (2018)

There are a number of students in the new sessions who hold a bit of a gap in their education. Being a dropper is not a big deal and does not possess any destructive concerns. 

However, some of the companies do take it into account as a negative consequence during the placement process. But do not let your spirits down and face it head on. It’s the skills you possess that would help you to make it through the entire process.

I am currently enrolled in B.Tech at an NIT is it okay for me to do the ISI Kolkata B.Stat program? Consider the fact that I dropped one year after year 12 for NIT.

PD

B.Stat in Statistics (academic discipline) & Mathematics,Indian Statistical Institute (2017)

The path you want to get into is a very dangerous one and it can totally spoil your career without you being able to do anything for it. 

ISI, B.Stat is a very famous course and is known for the entrance paper which is considered very tough by all those appearing in it. The course is tough because the student who is above the cutoff receives a huge financial help from the government covering the major portion of the tuition fee. Apart from this after the entrance exam the candidate can be certain of a well paid job one he/she completes the course and is awarded with the degree.

It gets difficult for the selections if there’s a year gap as lower age students are preferred and in your case there's a two year gap so the chances reduce even more. It would be very risky to change your college again and could cost some harm in your career.

I have scored above 90 in class 10th but I got 79.5 % in class 12th. My college record is decent. Do I stand a good chance at IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore or IIM Calcutta?

GS
Gaurav Sinha Posted On : August 6th, 2022
PGP in Sales & Marketing, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore

If your CAT score is above 99.90 percentile, you will have a decent chance of getting an interview call from IIM Calcutta. 

IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Bangalore assign good weight to past academic records for the interview shortlist. You need to have a consistently good record throughout your 10th, 12th, and graduation to get a call from IIMA and B. Having relevant work experience of a minimum of 2 years is also important if you are targeting IIMB.

Why is everyone advising to choose the NIT over the BITS Pilani (Goa campus also included)? Is the BITS Pilani computer science at least as good as a new generation IIT?

SS
Savi Sharma Posted On : June 28th, 2023

Don't pay heed to the ones advising you to choose NITs over BITS Pilani because no matter how good even the best NIT Trichy is, it can never reach the level of globally recognized BITS Pilani. BITS Pilani is second only to the 5 old IITs and every other technical institute in India comes after it. 

The usual preference order is

IIT Bombay>IIT Delh>IIT Madras>IIT Kanpur>IIT Kharagpur>BITS>IIT Roorkee>IIT Varanasi>IIT Guwahati>NIT Trichy>NIT Surathkal>NIT Warangal

It's very important to evaluate a college's worth and credibility based on relevant factors. Here are a few aspects you should take into consideration while making the decision. 

  • Faculty and Pedagogy
  • Infrastructure
  • Labs
  • Library
  • Academic rigor and facility
  • Placements
  • Student body
  • Fests and clubs
  • Hostel and campus facilities
  • Mess food

Ultimately, it's up to you to prioritize one factor over the other and make a well-formed decision based on the research you have done.
