What is the reason that people with great ranks ignore IIIT Allahabad despite its great placements and coding culture?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : October 13th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

The primary reason why people with great ranks ignore IIIT Allahabad f despite its great placements and coding culture is the lack of knowledge. When my brother got into IIIT Allahabad our relatives asked him if he was unable to make it to Noida or Ghaziabad colleges due to low rank. Many even did not know the name of the college and asked if it was private or government. This is exactly why a majority of the student crowd chooses a college based on people's opinions. 

Another reason why people don’t know about IIIT Allahabad is that it offers B. Tech. (IT) and not B. Tech. (CS). There is a preconceived notion that CS is the main branch while IT is the sub-branch. 

Also, IIIT Allahabad does not have a good ranking which students consider while choosing their college. So without even enquiring about the college, people automatically ignore IIIT Allahabad. Only if someone has a relative or friend at IIIT Allahabad can they know the real scenario at IIIT Allahabad. If you   a genuine interest in the IT field, choose IIIT Allahabad and you won’t ever regret your decision.

SS
Shashank Shekhar Posted On : December 21st, 2022
PGP in Sales & Marketing, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (Graduated 2003)

One of my friends' startups was incubated by NSRCEL, IIM Bangalore. She narrated her struggles in achieving this after 3 attempts. I won’t go through the details of how you can get your idea incubated as your idea has already been. Instead, I will tell you what comes after.

Once your idea has been incubated, you will be enrolled in a 3-month LaunchPad program. During this program you will have to work from the IIM Bangalore campus itself. The team of NSRCEL will 

  • Conduct workshops to familiarize you with startups and how they function.
  • The NSRCEL team will set attainable targets and help you achieve them.
  • You will be allowed interactions with experienced mentors who will offer suggestions and opinions regarding your idea. Use this opportunity to learn and upgrade the idea and not as criticism.
  • The team will also provide you with some time and money-saving business tools like AWS credits, Access to CRM, and accounting software.

My friend said she regretted not paying during this program because she was not well prepared for what came after. You will have to present your idea in front of a panel of 8 judges. They will analyze if your idea is worth investing in and your goals. They will inquire a lot and pose difficult questions, the answers to which can be known only if you really paid attention to the program. 

The 3 possible outcomes of this procedure are

  1. Your idea gets incubated
  2. You are granted an extension of 2-3 months to work on your idea a bit more
  3. You are asked to re-apply for the Launchpad program as you need to understand your business better.

Irrespective of the outcome don’t get demotivated. Because the largest of empires have been built after countless failures.

Does MNNIT Allahabad provide single rooms for freshers?

AB
Ankush Bose Posted On : December 2nd, 2023
MNNIT Allahabad

B.Tech first year boys get a three seater room at MNNIT Allahabad. The boys’ hostel for freshers is SVBH Mega Hostel. It is the newest and best boys’ hostel of MNNIT.

It is seven-storied, and has over 250 rooms and 2 messes. For the initial months, freshers are given a lot of attention, and the hostel security is alert 24*7. The hostel canteen serves poor quality food, and does not function most of the time. The best resort is to go to senior canteens or nearby areas for better food. The SVBH hostel also has a general store inside it. There you can buy stationary and other basic necessities.

The mess food is below average. Even though you’ll get a three seater room, it will be spacious and clean. Each room contains three beds, three cupboards and an extra study room with three table-chairs. 

Only the final year B.Tech boys get a single room at MNNIT.
