Is it possible to change from BITS Hyderabad to BITS Pilani?
- Once you get admitted to the Hyderabad campus, it is generally not possible to change to the other campuses of BITS Pilani.
- During your counselling, you will be given the chance to choose your preference for the campus and accordingly, the preference list is created.
- If you do not want to join any one of the campuses then leave it out during your counseling and only name your preferred campus.
- Usually, there are different rounds of counselling through which you will be given a seat at your preferred campus based on your marks and preference. You can accept it or put your name on the counselling list for the second round where you might be upgraded.
- As far as I am aware, BITS Pilani does not accept any request for campus change so you must decide during the counselling process only.
What is the lateral entry for IIIT Hyderabad?
Lateral Admission means getting admission in the mid of the session from another college. Many students pursuing BE or BTech in other colleges get lateral admission into IIIT Hyderabad in the second year. For this, they need to go through a separate admission process. This process includes a written entrance exam followed by an interview.
Moreover, Lateral Entry students are offered a very limited variety of streams like
- CSD: B.Tech + M.S. in Computer Science and Engineering.
- ECD: B.Tech + M.S. in Electronics and Communication Engineering.
Also, it’s important to note that Lateral Entry gets admission in the second year only. So irrespective of which year you belonged to, you will have to study again from the second year.
This mode of admission gives a second chance to those who couldn’t clear the exam initially.

Why do students choose FMS Delhi?
By choosing FMS Delhi do you mean just choosing FMS or choosing FMS over other top B Schools like IIMs? The answer remains the same for both. People who choose FMS over other B Schools are aware of the certain advantages that cannot be availed at any other B School.
One of my cousins wrote the CAT in 2018 and got selected in almost all the B Schools other than IIM Calcutta. She was overwhelmed yet she had no dream school in mind. That’s when she started inquiring about FMS. She reached out to alumni of top B-schools and mentors. She also asked herself questions like
- What do I want from a B-school? ( Placement opportunities, campus life, exchange programs, etc..)
- What are my priorities?
- What would I wish to do after 10 years?
- How am I going to fund my B-school education?
- What do I seek from a corporate job in the future?
Once she had the answers to these questions in her mind, she knew FMS would be best for her. The excellent placements with the lowest fees were too good an opportunity to miss. FMS also gives the freedom to choose and pursue anything going further.
When people choose FMS over other IIMs it’s not because it’s better than them. It’s because it suits their needs best. So choose what is best for you, not best for everyone. Don’t fall into the trap of rankings and let your decision be fueled by them.
Is it true that GNDU gives marks on the basis of the number of pages?
It really depends on the person who is evaluating your paper. But most times, if the paper is theoretical, it is true. For theoretical papers, try to write 3-4 pages of answers for 5 marks of questions.
But some teachers do look for quality content rather than length. So, it’s better to write answers with good content but also try to make it a bit lengthy. That should earn you a good GPA.
Would a two year gap affect my chances of getting into NITIE?
No, a gap of two years will not hamper your chances of getting into NITIE. It is a common thing, actually. Students who are preparing for competitive exams often take breaks.
Imagine you are the interviewer and you have two CVs in front of you. One CV has a gap of two years and the other one does not. It is up to you who you want to select. The general answer will be the fresher.
But it depends if a two-year gap will have any effect on getting admission. It is not the only factor that determines admission, though. If you perform well in your GATE/CAT exams, have an admirable track record in academics you will have a good chance of being selected. A good experience in work also goes a long way in solidifying your chances for admission.
You have to come up with a reason for the gap in your CV that is reasonable enough to the interviewer(s). Convince them that the purpose for taking the gap is reasonable even if you are preparing for the competitive exams. Because at last honesty and confidence counts.

Will the branch matter that we join if the college that we joined was NIT Trichy for having a safe future?
The majority of engineering aspirants are confused between prioritizing branches and institutes. They get confused about whether to go for an average branch in well-established institutes like old IITs and NITs or a top branch in average institutes like new IITs or lower NITs.
I will suggest you go through the syllabus of the average branches once before choosing them. If you think the syllabus is intriguing and you can tolerate it for 4 years, go for it. Else go for the top branches. The first priority should be to choose CSE, IT, M&C, and ECE in the top 10 IITs or NITs. Next, you can opt for lower branches in the top 5 IITs and top 3 NITs.
Here are a few points to consider before making the final decision
- The hefty packages offered by top IITs and NITs are usually from tech companies and the number of core jobs is few.
- If you go for electrical, or mechanical in lower IITs or NITs, you still have to learn coding skills to secure good packages. So it’s better to make use of the exposure and the college environment of top IITs, NITs.
- The top Top IITs and NITs have a much more elaborate alumni pool attracting the best companies.
So, I would suggest you go for top IITs and NITs because even if you belong to an average branch, inculcating excellent coding skills will fetch you good packages. Ultimately for me, it is Institute over branch!
