What is the importance of college societies or clubs for getting into IIM Ahmedabad?

SS
Sumit Saurav Posted On : November 23rd, 2022
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Kashipur (Graduated 2021)

Rather than just academics, IIM Ahmedabad students are interviewed on an overall basis. That is various aspects like extracurricular activities, leadership skills and behaviour management are also tested in the interview round.

Social clubs and college societies are also a part of your interview. But not the most important part though. Some might get selected even without much involvement in clubs while some might not get selected even with much involvement in the same. 

You usually are asked about your hobbies to which you can simply answer anything you like doing in your leisure time. It can be as simple as reading novels also. More than anything your confidence while answering the question matters the most.

Which one is better, NIT Trichy CSE or IIT Delhi EE?

A
Admin Posted On : July 9th, 2024

NIT Trichy and IIT Delhi are two highly ranked engineering colleges in India. 

Here is a comparison table between CSE branch of NIT Trichy and Electrical branch of IIT Delhi for your reference:

Parameters

NIT Trichy CSE

IIT Delhi EE

NIRF 2024 Ranking: Engineering

9

2

Placement % (2023)

90.6% (B.Tech)

84.94% (Overall)

Highest Package (2023)

INR  52.89 LPA

INR 2.5 CPA (Overall)

Average Package (2023)

INR 27.27 LPA

INR 17.60 LPA (Overall)

Top Recruiters (2023)

Google, Infosys,facebook, Oracle, ITC Limited

Microsoft, CISCO, Accenture, Brain & company, Jaguar Land Rover India Limited

The branch-wise placement details for IIT Delhi are unfortunately not available. However, as seen above, both the colleges offer really good placements in B.Tech programs.

But IIT Delhi Electrical is a better option because this institution carries a bigger brand name, and the ‘IIT’ tag. This will be immensely important for you when applying for higher studies after your graduation. Moreover, plenty of employees give preference to an ‘IIT’ tag over an ‘NIT’ tag.

IIT Delhi is located in the national capital, which is really beneficial in terms of exposure. Moreover, IIT Delhi will give you much more opportunities as compared to NIT Trichy. You can learn coding in your leisure time while studying electrical, in case you are interested in working in the IT sector.

Because of these reasons, I would recommend you choose EE at IIT Delhi over CSE at NIT Trichy.

What is the dress code for girls at KGMU?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : September 25th, 2023

MBBS students at KGMU don’t have a uniform.

Girls have to wear a white full sleeves apron. First year girl students are required to wear a lengthier apron with 6 buttons. Others wear a normal lower waist length apron with the monogram of King George's Medical University.

Though it isn’t a rule, girls wear ethnic kurtis paired with salwar/leggings. It is what the students prefer to wear. This gives a more professional and decent appearance.

This is all about the dress code for MBBS students (girls) at KGMU.

What is it like to be a 40 year old M.Tech student at IIT Madras?

SD
Souvick Das Posted On : March 30th, 2023
Software Engineer at Microsoft

My uncle joined MTech at IIT Madras at the age of 39 and was made to stay at Krishna Hostel like any other PG student. The only advantage he got was a single room while most of his batchmates got double or triple-occupancy rooms.

Having lost his touch with studying, he had his share of fears but once the rhythm was set in motion, he soared high in academics and was able to manage his time well. Initially l, he did miss his job and normal life as being a student seemed weird to him. But the rigor of the curriculum and the enthusiastic peers steered all his fears away.

He rarely interacted with UG students who preferred ignoring their seniors in general. The UG and PG students only met in common areas like the library, and open-air theater and interaction was minimal. However, there are exceptions everywhere as towards the end of his program, my uncle was able to befriend 2-3 UG students who were keen to discuss the opportunities and challenges for a civil engineer.

Which is better, mining in IIT Kharagpur or mechanical in IIT Patna?

A
Admin Posted On : June 20th, 2024

First of all you need to lose this ideology that mechanical has more scope and mining has less scope. Every field has top notch research going in it and provides dynamic and challenging work opportunities. 

I also had the same dilemma and I chose Mining at IIT Kharagpur over other departments for to following reasons:-

  • IIT Kharagpur is famous for its Mining branch which is one of the core branches in b.tech.
  • IIT Kharagpur is ranked 6th in the NIRF ranking while IIT Patna is Ranked 41th.
  • IIT Kharagpur has a Median Salary of 16 LPA while IIT Patna is at 12 LPA.
  • IIT Kharagpur is one of the oldest institutes in India established in 1951.
  • Coal India also comes for recruitment at IIT Kharagpur and international companies like Rio Tinto come for recruitment process.

How is ECE at BITS Hyderabad?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : December 26th, 2023

Like any other branch, ECE also demands your dedication and passion. Here are some important things to note about B.E. ECE at BITS Hyderabad-

With respect to placements, I can’t make any judgments. This is because placements are solely based on an individual’s skill set and academic record. The curriculum is quite diverse and contains a range of topics including Physics of semiconductors, machines and drives, signal processing, coding theory, etc. 

Though the curriculum is diverse, you won’t be able to acquire an in-depth knowledge of any particular area. Moreover, the course is huge and time consuming. But, by diligently covering it, you’ll become confident and knowledgeable. 

ECE is like any other branch at BITS Hyderabad (and the other campuses), and it is a myth that this branch is exceptionally tough and non scoring.
