Did anyone convert IIM Ahmedabad and not join?
IIM Ahmedabad is definitely one of the best institutes for studies. But it’s not the only one with excellent opportunities. Many other colleges offer better opportunities and a wide range of career options than IIM Ahmedabad.
Many people get selected in IIM Ahmedabad but do not join it. This is because their career goals do not restrict them to IIM Ahmedabad only. One such example is Sudhakar Gupta from NSIT who scored a 100 percentile in 2014. He got selected in all the IIMs but instead chose to pursue a Masters Degree from Cornell University.
At the IIMs, while the career opportunities are excellent, they are more or less streamlined and restrictive in the initial period. So people with broad prospects tend to suffer here.
It depends on your long term career goals and your own conveniences at the end.
Which one is better for a BTech course: BITS Pilani or Manipal Institute of Technology Karnataka?
It's highly illogical to compare a Tier-1 engineering college like BITS to a Tier-2 university like Manipal Institute of Technology.
One cannot compare universities like Manipal, VIT, SRM, Jaypee, Amity, etc. to IIT, NIT, and BITS. These colleges have no brand value of their own and most of the people coming here are those who failed to qualify for competitive exams like JEE/BITSAT/AIEEE/etc. Moreover, the exposure and opportunities offered at BITS are unmatched. It's probably the only private engineering college that enjoys excellent global recognition too.
Irrespective of the branch you go for, the BITS Pilani degree has similar value everywhere. The BITS alumni network is great with some of them being co-founders of Redbus, Hotmail, etc.
Here is a brief comparison of these institutes

How are the XLRI GMP placements for candidates who came from a non-IT background?
XLRI is a really good institute to go for. The ethos, culture, and diversity are all enigmatic. One of my friends studying there suggests that you can learn and grow simultaneously.
- Placements for non-IT background students are comparatively less. Usually, the domain consultant role is offered.
- These domain consultants also get a chance to go abroad for further work experience.
- Nowadays, companies are also hiring, even being unsure about the candidate’s past work experience.
- You just evolve as your potential individuality begins to blossom. This is the most significant advantage of being in XLRI.
- Academics and case studies are generally the same across the board.
- The admissions process is a little stringent and filters out the “right” individuals.

It is not a disadvantage to not be an engineer. A consulting career requires more analytical ability, business awareness, and thought process.
All you have to do is work a little harder to achieve your goals. So, go ahead and start preparing for your career and you'll make it. Ultimately your performance will matter rather than being an IT or a non-IT background.
What is life like at XLRI?
One of my friends from school recently visited the XLRI Jamshedpur campus to deliver a guest lecture. To get to the institute, he had to change two flights which were followed by a ride in a cab that took him around three hours from Ranchi to Jamshedpur.
It was a tiring journey but he found it worth it. He had a good time on campus and praised the level of safety on the campus. The host of the cultural festival, a student organization, was very generous with their timing and hospitality.
The cultural program went on for three days and it was organized for students from other institutes. The goal of this program was to give them exposure to ideas which they can find difficult to get otherwise. My friend was delighted to talk to these students.
Also, there was a band performance which was one of the highlights of the program.
He thanked the team for their hospitality and took his leave the following morning. To his experience, he found life at campus very happening.

- NMIMS has much better infrastructure than Mumbai University and offers better facilities and campus life.
- Better recruiters visit NMIMS and the placement scenario is much better than Mumbai University.

How is NIT Jalandhar for ECE?
Avoid choosing NIT Jalandhar if your goal is to study ECE for the sake of studying ECE sincerely and devotedly.
ECE at NIT Jalandhar emphasizes placement, specifically in an IT company. As an ECE student, you'll be expected to perform exceptionally well in coding and other CSE-related courses. Additionally, the compensation packages provided by core businesses fall well short of what an ECE student would expect, further decreasing the appeal of ECE core.
It is recommended that you choose another institute if you're passionate about electronics and want to pursue a successful career in the field rather than NITJ.
What's the reputation of the South Asian University in Delhi for an MSc in applied mathematics?
South Asian University is a central funded government university. According to my friend studying there, It is not only an exceptional university in India but only one among the records of international universities in the world.
- This international university was established by a member of the SAARC.
- It was a dream project of Dr. Man Mohan Singh which he had proposed in the 13th SAARC summit held in Dhaka.
- It was later in the 14th summit that the establishment of this university was decided to be held in India.
- It provides courses of Applied Math, Biotechnology, Computer Science, Development Economics, International relations, Sociology, and Legal Studies.
- Its permanent campus is under construction in Maidan Garhi, Delhi while being operated from Akbar Bhawan, Chanakyapuri.
- SAARC consists of 8 countries which are India, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
- Therefore, the degree given by the university is recognized by the UGC of all 8 countries.
- The tag of SAARC attached would benefit your career in foreign countries as well.
SAU has its own limitations as it is a new university. SAU is yet to be known among the scholarly and creating its name. Due to its less popularity, the entrance competition is not very tough. However, students prefer IITs, DU, and JNU for their post-graduate studies ignoring the high-level facilities provided at SAU.
How tough is it to get PGDIE course of NITIE for an average student regarding GD/PI and GATE score?
PGDIE is one of the flagship courses of NITIE and getting admission in this course is very difficult. The cut-off of CAT is very high and if you can clear it, then you will have to appear for the GD-PI round. This round is very important and carries the highest weightage for your admission.
There are several other factors that have an impact on the decision for your admission. It includes your 10th & 12th marks, your graduation marks, and any prior work experience if you have any.
The chances are higher for the students who are coming from an Operations background. Even if you are a fresher from a mechanical or electrical branch, your chances of getting a seat will be much higher than the rest of the students.
Considering all of the factors mentioned, your overall profile will be evaluated and a consolidated merit list will be prepared. For this year, the GATE score for PGDIE was 609 for General candidates.
I got 304 marks in the UPSEE. My rank in general category is 9458 and in girl's category, it is 1239. Can I get admission at IET Lucknow or KNIT Sultanpur in either electrical or electronics branch?

| B. Tech in Electronics Engineering | 1862 to 2440 | 508 to 784 |
