Which is better, IIT Kharagpur or IIT Bhilai? Why?
Comparing 2 IITs is illogical as every IIT is unique in its own way. Because of the difference in the duration of the establishment, one might have a better alumni network than the other. The same is the case between IIT Kharagpur and IIT Bhilai. Both are excellent Engineering colleges, yet the former being the oldest IIT has a much more elaborate alumni network.
The distinguishing feature includes some eminent alumni like the CEO of Google Sundar Pichai, Jeetu from the Kota factory, Gaurav Taneja aka flying beast, Biswa, etc. IIT KGP is well known for its amazing coding culture. It has great faculty and societies that help in the holistic development of students.
After IIM Calcutta was started next IIM should have been started in Bombay which is Commercial capital of India but why it has been started in Ahmedabad?
The first two IIMs were supposed to be in Mumbai and Calcutta. While the land and approvals for Calcutta came relatively easily, the then-Mumbai state government refused to allot land for an IIM in Mumbai and acted rather casually.
Meanwhile, Vikram Sarabhai, the driving force behind the IIMs concept, was eager to get the IIMs up and running as soon as possible. He was well known for his extensive business and political connections, but his entire industrial and research infrastructure was in Ahmedabad (in the then-newly created state of Gujarat).
Vikram Sarabhai was so eager to get the IIM started in western India (one in the east and one in the west was the initial logic, which was followed by one in the south and one in the north as well) that he pulled all the strings for an IIM in Ahmedabad. For the first few years, IIMA was based in Vikram Sarabhai's personal bungalow in Ahmedabad's Shahi Baug area.
He was also the driving force behind the recruitment of other IIMA legends, including Louis Kahn for the architectural plan, Kastoorbhai Lalbhai of Arvind Mills for the donation of all land for the campus, and the mesmerizing Ravi J. Matthai, the institute's first full-time director.
Why are good institutes like IIIT-Hyderabad, IIIT-Allahabad, BITS-Pilani, NSIT and DTU missing in MHRD Rankings for best engineering institutes?
The first-ever ranking of higher education institutions in India namely the Engineering, Management, Pharmacy, and Universities was released on the 4th of April 2016, by the MHRD. Many claimed that the report was misleading as they did not conduct thorough research before ranking the institutes.
Firstly, only 233 out of 720 universities participated and it's highly possible that some of the major colleges did not participate in the survey. So to get an exact picture, 100% participation is a must. One of my friends told me that his institute was a tier-3 institute with pathetic teaching faculty and placements and yet was ranked under 70. This alone is enough to point out that fallacy in the rankings. He also told me that most of the duvet conducted was done with false credentials, therefore, discrediting the rankings.
The worst part of these MHRD rankings is that the accuracy and authenticity are in the hands of the institute which can be easily manipulated. Overall I believe that The National Institutional Ranking Framework is a good idea, but poorly executed because the rankings are done on the basis of incomplete data and are often manipulated. Unfortunately, many students fall trapped in these inflated rankings and end up h choosing the wrong institute.
What is meant by the result held in reserve for the previous year by Pune University?
The term "result held in reserve" at Pune University is typically used to refer to a situation where the university has not released the official results of a particular examination or test. This could be due to a number of reasons, such as
- a delay in the grading process
- a need for further review or investigation
- concern about the integrity of the results
One of my friends faced a similar situation. He had appeared for his Eighth Semester as well as Tenth Semester since he had a backlog subject from my 4th year. His result was kept in reserve because despite being able to clear the final year, he could not clear his backlog subject from the 4th year. So your result could also be held in reserve at Pune University for the same reason.

How is the Integrated M.Sc. course for Physics at NIT Rourkela?
Integrated MSc Physics at NIT Rourkela is good enough, but make sure that you don’t select this institute if you have better options in hand. The main attraction of this institute is the course structure that allows time to excel in other essential courses like Classical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Quantum Mechanics, and Statistical Mechanics. In addition, you can also study specialized electives like Advanced Quantum Mechanics, Advanced Condensed Matter Physics, Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos, Nonlinear Optics, Magnetism, Semiconductors, etc.
The faculty support and laboratory facilities are very poor. So, you need to rely on online classes from external sources to understand the concept properly. You also need to give more importance to self-study otherwise, you may end up futile here. If you have a passion for physics, then you can choose this college
What should I choose between BITS Pilani EEE or IIT Guwahati engineering physics?
Both BITS Pilani and IT Guwahati are reputable institutions with strong engineering programs. It’s highly recommended that you go through the contents of the curriculum once before opting for any major. Most students skip this and regret it later as they are forced to study courses they least expected. Go through the books of these courses and determine if the matter intrigues you or not.
IIT Guwahati Engineering Physics program covers a wide spectrum of fields. Although the placement scenario is average, it definitely quenches your thirst for knowledge of Physics and also prepares you for higher studies.
Another good option for core physics is MSc at Kanpur or Kharagpur. Although EP will expose you to multiple options, you will require another degree. It’s better to analyze your interests deeply before making the final decision.
As far as the EEE at BITS Pilani is concerned, I am strongly against anyone joining BITS irrespective of the branch they choose. The curriculum is poorly structured and lacks flexibility. The placement scenario is deteriorating day by day. The exposure offered is null and thus BITS Pilani should be your last option when all doors are closed. You will end up wasting your time and money with no solid knowledge up your sleeve by the end of 4 years.
Ultimately, the decision of which program to choose depends on your personal preferences and career goals.
Which should I pick for an MBA in Finance, IIFT or IIM Indore?
For the reasons listed below, you ought to select IIM Indore:
- Other institutions might be excellent ones, but IIMs are a community. The tag is beneficial.
- The peer network you establish is the main thing you take away from a business school. You will have the chance to interact with a tremendously large group of people.
- Gain a competitive advantage with the campus recruiters. There regularly operate businesses like McKinsey, BCG, DB, Goldman Sachs, and many others.
In terms of infrastructure and natural beauty, the 197-acre campus ranks among the best B-school campuses in the nation.
What should I choose: IIT Roorkee metallurgy or IIT BHU materials dual degree?
You can go with IIT Roorkee Metallurgy rather than IIT BHU. The four-year course is good, and you can further pursue a master’s if you are interested in this field. Both institutes are good at providing effective study materials, but there are other benefits available if you choose IIT Roorkee. They are:
- The Metallurgy department at IITR is the top in packing material research in India
- They are best for coding culture, machine learning, software, and so on
- You will have a culture of interdisciplinary study, and with the presence of the Center of Excellence - Nanotechnology, which is led by a Professor of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, you will have the added advantage of working in the best labs.
So, IIT Roorkee is much better than IIT BHU.
How is materials science & metallurgical engineering in MANIT Bhopal?
Materials Science and Metallurgy is a good branch. It has huge career prospects in R&D. One can also opt for higher studies post a B.Tech in Metallurgy.
This branch deals with the science of materials. One gets to study the extraction of metals and their refining & purification. The Department of Metallurgy at MANIT Bhopal is quite good. It allows ample time to prepare for GATE. Upon cracking GATE, one can get a job in PSUs like Vizag, IOCL, SAIL, etc.
The department professors are good and supportive. They encourage the students to grab new opportunities in the field of Metallurgy. The placement figures for B.Tech Metallurgy aren’t as good as B.Tech CSE/ECE. The average package is 5–6 LPA, and the highest package touches 8–9 LPA. About 60–70% of the students receive campus placement.
Materials Science and Metallurgy is a good branch, given that one shows interest in it. It offers ample study time to prepare for competitive exams on the side.
