How good is biotech at BIT, Mesra?
I would like to share the experience of one of my cousins, who studied biotech at BIT Mesra.
It all started after he secured a decent rank in his AIEEE exam and through the All-India quota got admission in BE- Biotechnology course, offered by BIT Mesra.
In the first year of his engineering, students studied the same subjects irrespective of their branches. At the end of his first year, he was quite confident that he had studied hard and cleared all subjects without any problems.
After getting into his second year on the first day in the department he got the reality check. From that day onwards, he doesn’t advise people to join Biotechnology, here at BIT Mesra.
Some vital points about Biotechnology, BIT Mesra:
- The lab equipment is world-class but none of them truly work. If some of them do the students are not allowed to operate them.
- The class schedule is quite hectic, students will have classes throughout the day, 5 days a week.
- For the next 3 years, same things are taught to you under different subject titles. It's like every semester.
So from the experience, I shared with you gives you in and out of the field. Now, it is your choice whether you want to get enrolled in the particular field or not.
How many marks should I get in CLAT to get a seat in Nalsar?
CLAT is all about percentile and not the percentage. It is not about how much you score but how much you score when compared to all other aspirants that appear in the entrance exam along with you.
For NALSAR, the cut-off is between 130 to 140 marks out of 200 for the general category. If you manage to be in the top 120 ranks in the country, your seat is secured at NALSAR.
If the difficulty of the exam is easy then you expect the cut-off to be a bit relaxed. You can expect it to be between 170-185.

What is the preparation strategy of AIIMS Delhi?
The best way is not to set any targets because when you do, you are limiting yourself to a certain extent. You may or may not achieve your target. But if you don’t set one, you can aim for the sky. AIIMS Delhi was the dream college of one of my friends who had literally no chance of making it into it. The only mantra he followed was not to expect yourself to perform to a particular or specific level, but rather give it your all. As for the preparation strategy, here is what he shared
- Practice Assertion Reason questions: This section is often underestimated when in reality it is a major rank-determining factor.
- Attend assertion reason questions in the beginning: Some might find it weird, but he chose to solve Assertion Reason before the exams as they required a fresh mind which would not have been possible after exams.
- Don’t forget the negative marks: The negative marking might affect your overall performance drastically so beware of it.
- Always stay patient: Don't panic even if you find the question paper to be very challenging as you will forget whatever you have studied.
Hope you score well!
What is the difficulty level of GATE papers when set by IISc Bangalore?
No single institution sets the GATE papers. A group of professors from different IITs, NITs, and IISc Bangalore set the paper. Each year an institution gets the responsibility of selecting the professors for question paper setting. This institution also looks after other administration-related work.
I would suggest you practice the previous 10-20 years’ question papers. Also, do not try to assess the difficulty level of the upcoming GATE exam by looking at the previous years’ trends, as it will not help.
Practice well for your GATE exam and make a note that GATE papers will not be set solely by IISc Bangalore or any one institution.
Why is the placement at IIEST Shibpur so poor?
Considering the placement stats after doing a lot of research, one thing is very clear that IIEST ends up with 100% placements every year among which 2-3 CSE/IT students get placed in top-notch companies like Google, Microsoft at an exorbitant compensation package as compares to average package figure of the institute. However, from an independent perspective, the average salary is still at the bottom-line if you consider other tiers 2 colleges. There are certain reasons for it such as:
Recognition:
This is one of the major reasons for such placement stats. Almost nobody outside West Bengal knows that there is an Engineering college name IIEST Shibpur and the same happens with the recruiters as well. People might ask you such questions like where is your college located. Which is this college? Etc.
Alumni Network:
IIEST Shibpur does not have a very strong alumni base in the companies that can influence the companies to conduct any recruitment drive in the college.
Placement Cell:
Most of the students of IIEST Shibpur will agree to the fact that the institute really needs to work upon its existing placement coordination procedure.
Overall, the institute needs to work hard on their placement cells if they want to improve the placement stats. Then only there will be a scope that students of IIEST Shibpur will get some placements.
Have I done a mistake in choosing IIT Delhi mechanical over DTU CS? I preferred to do CS, but due to ego, I chose IIT Delhi.
I don’t think anyone choosing IIT Delhi over any other engineering college has made a wrong decision given the opportunities and life experiences that come with it. While both are crucial, your choice of Institute is more important than your branch.
Here is a friend's journey for your reference l was a BTech student (Civil) at IIT BHU with a rank of 3600.
- First, he completed a Nanodegree program from Udacity in Self Driving Cars and Machine learning
- Next, he worked as a Derivative Trader in Future First where he performed Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms.
- After gaining great experience and exposure he joined Quantela Inc for 2 Years where he worked as a Data Scientist.
- Today, after a lot of job switches and immense experience he is working at Derq in Dubai as a Machine Learning Scientist and doing Online MS from Georgia Tech University in Computer Science.
This journey of a 7-pointer Civil Branch student to a high-tech CS company proves that branch does not matter in the end. He made the most of his campus life and kept struggling to switch his branch and eventually succeeded. That being said, you have made the right decision as only IIT Delhi can give you the right set of opportunities and exposure and not DTU.
What do I do to crack the NIMHANS entrance exam for a post graduation in neurosurgery?
For post MBBS direct MCh/ DM neurology and MD Psychiatry courses, NIMHANS conducts an online entrance exam consisting of MCQs.
- A common entrance exam is conducted for all courses and later on a separate merit list for each course is released which means you have to opt for the course while applying or you can apply for all of them or either of the two courses.
- The test is for 2 hours with 150 MCQs. There is negative marking in the examination. Approximately 90 to 100 questions are from 19 MBBS subjects. The difficulty level is medium. The questions are selected from guidebooks.
- The rest of the 50 to 60 questions are related to CNS so prepare for the neuro aspect of all major subjects viz Anat, Physio, Medicine Psychiatry, Surgery Patho, etc. With the preparation of the last 10 to 15 days, these questions are solvable
- NIMHANS paper is overall easy compared to AIPGME and AIIMS but since the number of seats is very less, the margin of error for silly mistakes is very low.
The key to get through is by reading all subjects till the last 10 days to the exam and later focusing on the neurology part. This ensures that your preparation level would be optimum on exam day.
