Is there any quota for Delhi students in DU?

AD

B.com Honors in Business & Marketing, University of Delhi

There is a quota for Delhi students at DU. In a recently concluded hearing, the Delhi High Court stated that a Delhi student who graduates from an NCR school will not be eligible for the Delhi Quota for college admissions. The Delhi High Court heard a petition from a class 12 student seeking the benefit of reservation for college admission and clarified that the Delhi Quota will be applied based on school, not domicile. In all Delhi University colleges, 85 percent of the seats are reserved for Delhi residents, while 15 percent are reserved for candidates from outside the city. 

Below is a list of 12 Delhi University Colleges that are fully sponsored by the Delhi Government.

Indira Gandhi Institute of Phy. Education & Sports Science Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies
Shaheed RajGuru College Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College
Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar College Acharya Narendra Dev College
Bhagini Nivedita College Keshav Maha Vidyalaya
Maharaja Agrasen College Aditi Mahavidyalaya
Maharshi Balmiki College of Education Bhaskara Charya College of Applied Science

DU Quota System is further explained through this video

According to the proposal by the Delhi Government, the colleges that receive 50% capital grants and 5% recurring grants from the Delhi State Government will likely have 50% reservations for Delhites. This list includes 16 colleges, which are as follows:

Bharti College Gargi College
Delhi College of Arts and Commerce Kalindi College
Maitreyi College Rajdhani College
Shivaji College Satyawati College
Vivekananda College Satyawati College
Kamala Nehru College Motilal Nehru College
Laxmi Bai College Shyama Prasad Mukharji College
Sri Aurobindo College Shaheed Bhagat Singh College

Every year, DU announces its annual hiking cut-offs, which include only the best students from across the country. Some colleges have cutoffs as high as 100%.

Which college is better for Computer Science/ Computer Engineering in India - IIIT Delhi or NSIT?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : August 22nd, 2023
Founder, NextBigWhat

For a better understanding, I will compare both IIIT Delhi and NSIT Delhi based on some common aspects

  • Placement : The placement scenario of both the institutes is similar with IIIT Delhi having a slight advantage. NIST's median package stood at INR 16 LPA while IIIT Delhi's average package stood at INR 23.72 LPA
  • Campus : NSIT has a higher campus than IIIT Delhi but is old. IIIT Delhi is a relatively new institute so its infrastructure and campus facilities are modern.
  • Hostels : NSIT has bigger rooms than IIIT Delhi but IIIT DELHI has rooms with better facilities. There is the provision of AC at night in summer and a heater at night in winter.
  • Faculty : IIIT DELHI is the clear winner as its faculty pool is even better than some IITs.
  • Reputation : Being older NSIT enjoys a better brand value and recognition both in and outside India. 
  • Coding Culture : IIIT DELHI has a much better coding culture than NSUT because the institute is CS centered.
  • Fees : IIIT Delhi charges higher fees around ?4.62 Lakhs (1st Year Fees) while NSIT fees are around ?2.29 Lakhs (1st Year Fees)
  • Clubs : NSUT has a better campus life and extracurricular culture because of the various clubs so it has an edge in this aspect. 
  • Campus Life: IIIT Delhi has a very rigorous and tiresome campus life while NSIT has a more laid-back campus life. 
  • Curriculum : IIIT DELHI has a more updated and modern curriculum in comparison to NSITs outdated curriculum irreverent to the industrial trends.

Overall, if you want a rigorous campus life more focused on academics choose IIIT Delhi but if you are looking for a relaxed experience NSIT is the one for you.

Is BITS Pilani better than NIT Warangal?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : August 19th, 2023

The answer varies with the branch you are offered at both these institutions. I will give you an idea for some common branches to make the decision easier for you-

  1. The Civil branch of NIT Warangal is slightly better than BITS Pilani. However, there is not much difference and you can go to either for your Civil.
  2. The Mechanical of BITS Pilani is better. However, for a future in research or entrepreneurship, choose Mechanical at NITW.
  3. For ECE, BITS Pilani is better than NITW. The faculty for ECE at NITW is extremely strict and the curriculum is much tougher than required at the UG level.
  4. For CS, if you are really passionate about this field, join IIIT Hyderabad. The CS faculty at NITW is as good as IIIT Hyderabad, but the peer group at NITW won’t be as passionate and dedicated. But among the options stated by you, NITW and BITS Pilani are equally good.
  5. Biotechnology- If you are interested in research and higher studies in this field, NIT Warangal is a good option. NITW will offer you study abroad programs and funded research if you show interest and dedication towards this field. The peer group, however, won’t be too good. The faculty for Biotech at NIT Warangal is great.

These are some of the common branches that you can choose at either of the institutions. Both NIT Warangal and BITS Pilani are great institutions and at the end, your hardwork and dedication will decide your future.

What is the scope of a BSc from BHU?

AD
Ayushi Dubey Posted On : November 15th, 2022
Studied at Banaras Hindu University

If you know what you want to do after graduation, a B.Sc from BHU is a good option. You must choose your Hons. courses in the first year, so you should be clear about your goals. If you want to pursue a career in research, you should choose an honors subject that interests you. You can also apply for JAM in your third year to gain admission to IITs that offer m.sc courses. Aside from that, you can study for the CAT or civil services. Many B.Sc students there aim for the CAT exam for MBA entrance, UPSC, PCS, IITJAM, SSC CGL, and other competitive exams. If you study for these exams, you will be in a pleasant environment.

You would also have the opportunity to learn to swim, mountaineer, or be a part of NCC, NSS, and other organizations. If you are looking for good campus placements in this area, you will most likely be disappointed.

Is it compulsory to stay in a hostel at NALSAR and NLSIU?

RT
Rakesh Todi Posted On : September 8th, 2021
Studied at National Law School of India University, Bangalore, graduated in 2020

For the students of the first year who are studying in NLSIU, it is compulsory for them to stay in hostels. However, the option of going home on weekends will always be open for them. Just fill up a permission form and you are good to go. Someone I know used to be a student of NLSIU and she and her batchmates used to visit their families this way.

If you live in Bangalore, you can travel from your house to the institute without asking for permission.

After you have completed your first year you will be able to live off-campus. Knowing the busy traffic of Bangalore, it may get difficult to travel to and from the campus.

This is not allowed in NALSAR, though. You will have to spend the entirety of your course in the hostels.

How much prize money can I get if I got AIR 1 in the NEET, AIIMS, and JIPMER?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : September 21st, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

The official authorities don’t award any prize money to NEET toppers but the toppers are awarded cash prizes from their coaching institute. For instance, Allen Carrier Institute produced NEET 2022 toppers Tanishka. In the victory carnival of ALLEN, she received 21 Lakhs along with other toppers. 

Additionally here is what will happen if you get AIR 1:

  • Your name will be included in the Limca Book of Records.
  • Every news channel will want to feature you making you a celebrity overnight.
  • All book brands pay for you for your testimony.
  • The coaching module's back cover will have your photos.

However, I feel one must value respect and humbleness more than the money you earn.
