What is the better choice between IIT-B Metallurgy and NIT Surathkal CSE?
Choosing a branch over a college and vice versa is a big dilemma for many engineering aspirants. I personally feel one should give preference to branch over college because the college stays with you just for 4 years but the branch determines your career. NIT Surathkal CSE is a highly regarded program and recently its infrastructure has been improved to meet industry needs. Here are some core reasons to prefer it over IIT Bombay Metallurgy.
- NIT Surathkal CSE placements are great with almost 100% placements and an average CTC of around INR 29.47 LPA.
- The seniors are approachable and friendly so you can look upon them and seek assistance in all matters.
- The infrastructure has been improved with the construction of a new digital library and another indoor play.
- NIT Surathkal however does not have an active nightlife. This might both work in favor or against you.
- There are restrictions on in-timing for first-year students.
Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide if you want to prioritize the branch or the college.
Is Hindustan University good?
As a student of Hindustan University, here is my honest opinion about my institution.
The fees are quite high, suitable for upper middle class candidates. The academics on the other hand, are quite average. The plus point is that you’ll get to meet people from different parts of India, especially Kerala. There is no dress code, so you can dress casually. The campus library is good.
There are various engineering branches. Even though the university claims to be best in Aeronautical Engineering, this is not the case. Rather, Electrical and Mechanical are good over here. The campus is decent. However, the placements are very poor.
Hindustan University offers an average college life, and very poor placements. But it does have a good ambience and a diverse crowd.
How can I explain the gap of one year after class 12 in IPM IIM Indore interview?
Be honest and tell them about the gap year. They will not reject you just because of a gap year. It is not an offense to have one. Most of the time the interviewer won’t be concerned about the gap year.
If asked, answer honestly. Tell them how having a gap year helped you have better results. You can also talk about the hobbies and skills that you picked up during the gap year.
However, if you choose to give a fabricated answer, your chances of getting selected will significantly reduce. It is not easy to fool the interviewers and giving an honest answer will be the best.
What are the reviews for an executive diploma in digital marketing at IIM Calcutta?
The following review is based on personal experience with my sister who got enrolled in the current batch.
The following points will surely change your mind regarding the executive diploma in digital marketing at IIM Calcutta:
-
Quality of the batch is extremely poor. It is more like a money making program than a knowledge imparting one.
-
The fee for this program is exceptionally high. The course is priced at 3,28,000 for just 6 months. Whereas digital marketing institutes offer better courses at fees as low as INR 5000.
-
The quality of the curriculum is below average. Rather than focusing on the main topic they are stuck to age old basic concepts of traditional marketing.
-
No placement assistance is there for this programme.
-
Lastly, this certification adds no value to your CV.
Don’t go for this program. The time and money are not worth investing in. Rather go for digital marketing institutes where industry experts will teach you better skills at low fees and less duration.
Can I send someone else in place of me to get the transcript from RGPV Bhopal?
The simple answer is Yes. You can send someone on your behalf to get the transcript from RGPV Bhopal. It’s important to note that the person should carry your important document along with them. These include your original marksheet and marksheet for all the semesters.
To get the transcript faster, the best option is to go to the cyber cafe within the university campus. Send a scanned copy of your semester mark sheet and original degree by email to this cyber cafe guy. They will give you your transcript copy and other forms. You then need to submit the copy at a university counter with fees along with original documents. It will take 3 days to get your transcript from the university.
Is IIEST Shibpur better than nits?
As a student of IIEST Shibpur, I will try to present an unbiased opinion on this query.
- Funding- NITs have been institutes of national importance for quite a while now. On the other hand, IIEST became a national institute only a few years ago. But now as a national institute, IIEST receives the same funding as the IITs, which is more than the funding for NITs. The more the funding, the better are the labs and other infrastructural facilities of a college.
- Rankings- IIEST has been placed 35th in the 2023 NIRF engineering rankings. This is higher than most NITs, except NIT Trichy, Surathkal, Rourkela, Warangal and Calicut.
- Research- IIEST is highly regarded for its achievements in research. In this respect too, it beats most NITs. The research projects undertaken, and papers published by its researchers are proof of the same.
IIEST is thus better than most NITs, barring the top ones. Even as BESU, it was performing better.
Which IIM is better considering all the factors IIM Bodhgaya or IIM Jammu?
You should choose IIM Bodhgaya between these two. Since IIM Calcutta is the mentor institute, you will be taught by the faculties of IIM C. The placements of IIM Bodhgaya are also managed by IIM Calcutta, so you can expect good placement offers. The batch of 2022 students received an average CTC of INR 12.36 LPA.
How is an MD in biochemistry at GMC, Mumbai? Does it have a scope and job concerned?
An MD biochemistry in at GMC, Mumbai is highly regarded among medical aspirants. The value of the degree depends on the person taking the course, his interest in the field, and his goals.
One of my friends recently completed his MD in Biochemistry at GMC Mumbai and today works in a corporate hospital. Another friend, having completed the same course, works at private labs. Several others work as assistant professors. Some fortunate ones have even opened their own labs.
The scope of this course therefore depends mainly on you. To open more doors of opportunities, you can take seminars, and journal clubs, teach UG students, do internal assessments, and also do some research work. GMC receives huge grants from the Government for the research work.
So make a wise decision after considering all factors.
I'm going to join IIT Madras for my M. Tech. degree (nuclear engineering). What are the things I should plan for?
The academic life at IIT Madras is decent with very learned professors imparting heaps of wisdom and knowledge.
- IIT Madras hostel facilities are mediocre but you will adapt to them after a while.
- Internet facilities are available 24/7 except late at night and during academic hours (though always available in departments)
- There are a lot of monkeys inside the campus so you need to be careful
- IIT Madras campus has a decent working swimming pool

Life at IIT Madras can also be felt real-time and no description can do justice to the experience.
How will I get fee refund that I deposit for UPTU (AKTU) Counseling?
The process to get your counseling fees back is quite simple. Private colleges deduct 50% of fees, college maintenance charges, and library charges. But in the case of government colleges, no such issue is there.
