Which one will be better for an M. Sc. in Physics (IIT Madras or IIT Kharagpur)?
This is a common dilemma faced by many who are applying for MSc. It requires a great research-oriented approach and thus the choice of the Institute should depend on the research work and projects offered by that institute. One needs a wide range of choices of courses so that you can select the one that matches your area of interest.
Before researching campus life, look up the faculty profiles available on the official website of the institutes. Once you come across a profile with the kind of research work you are looking for and want to work on, then choose that particular Institute.
My friend chose IIT Madras because she found diversity in the fields people worked in there. You can find people working in almost every field from Experimental Condensed Matter, Theoretical Condensed Matter, Nanotechnology, General relativity, and cosmology to String theory, Quantum computation, and chaos, High energy - particle physics, Theoretical and Experimental Optics, and Mathematical aspects.
IIT Madras maintains the right balance between Experimental and Theoretical Physics which is sometimes not possible at other IITs. Despite this many flocks to IIT Kharagpur mainly because of herd mentality. In reality, IIT Madras has a lot to offer provided you are committed to doing your part of your efforts.
I have mediocre academics is it realistic to crack IIM Ahmedabad based on CAT score and interviews alone?
The emphasis at IIM Ahmedabad is on strong all-round performers (not just academically) and a little bit on diversity. People with mediocre academic records are admitted to IIMA. The caveat here is that your lack of academic performance must be compensated for by excellence in another field.
If you have mediocre academics, it will be difficult to gain admission to IIM Ahmedabad solely on the basis of your CAT score and interviews.
How is XLRI better than other B-schools (including IIM's)?
XLRI is way no better than the other B-schools rather they all are the same. All these top B-schools(including IIM’s) are the same in all aspects ranging from the placements to the academics.
You will see students from different B schools comparing their institute with others and figures that they possess unique qualities but there is nothing of that sort. The top ten B-School in the country belong to the same league and you will enjoy more or less similar opportunities at these institutes.
Slight differences can be observed in placement figures, alumni networks - their global spread, and job roles. But that’s it.
So, to answer your question, XLRI is not better than IIMs, it’s not worse than them either. They belong to the same league.
What are the facilities in the VNIT Nagpur campus?
VNIT Nagpur, like other NITs, is an Institute of National Importance.
It is located in Nagpur, so you can easily access all the basic facilities from there. But as far as campus facilities are concerned, they are very poor.
Both the college canteens available for Engineering students are kept in an unhygienic condition. Only a few of the menu items are actually available, and this is the situation at all times. A single playground is available for all the college students. So during inter-NIT practices, one can not possibly play one’s favorite sports over there.
The Badminton and TT courts however, are quite well developed. Other than that, the college campus is well maintained and covered in greenery. The Health Center within the campus is open for students, without any extra charges. An ambulance is also provided by the college in the health center. The maintenance fee for the center is included within the college fee.
In spite of the various shortcomings, you’ll enjoy your time at VNIT, especially the hostel life.
What is the shortlisting process of companies at NITIE for PGDIE?
The National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE) in Mumbai offers a Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Engineering (PGDIE) program, which is highly regarded in the industry. Many reputed companies visit the campus every year to recruit students for various roles in their organizations. Here is a brief overview of the shortlisting process of companies at NITIE for PGDIE:
- Company Registration: Companies interested in recruiting NITIE students need to register on the NITIE Placement Portal. This portal allows them to view the profiles of the students and select candidates for the recruitment process.
- Pre-Placement Talk: Once the company is registered, they are invited to conduct a pre-placement talk (PPT) on campus. The PPT is an opportunity for the company representatives to introduce their organization, discuss the roles and responsibilities of the position, and answer any questions that the students may have.
- Resume Shortlisting: After the PPT, companies usually invite interested students to submit their resumes. Based on the resumes received, the company shortlists candidates for the next round of the recruitment process.
- Group Discussions (GD): Companies typically conduct group discussions as the first round of the recruitment process. In a GD, a group of students is given a topic to discuss, and the company representatives assess their communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
- Personal Interviews: Students who clear the GD round are invited for personal interviews. The interview panel usually comprises senior executives from the company, who assess the students' technical and behavioral competencies.
- Job Offers: Companies extend job offers to students who perform well in personal interviews. Students who receive job offers need to accept or reject them within a specified time frame.
In summary, the shortlisting process of companies at NITIE for PGDIE involves company registration, pre-placement talk, resume shortlisting, group discussions, personal interviews, and job offers. The institute has a well-structured placement process, which helps companies identify the right talent and students secure rewarding career opportunities.
Can you stay off campus at Manipal Institute of Technology, and if yes, how much money will I save?
Yes, students are allowed to stay off-campus from the second year onwards. Let’s compare the expenses of staying on and off-campus at MIT Manipal.
The on-campus hostel fee is about INR 8–10k monthly including mess charges. The mess takes care of all meals throughout the day from breakfast, lunch, and snacks to dinner. The hostel has excellent facilities for water, electricity, internet, etc. Hygiene is ensured by cleaning rooms every 2-3 days.
Now if you stay outside then your rent would be around INR 6-10k depending on the location and size of your apartment. This amount includes your water and electricity expenses too. However, it does not include food so you will have to get it arranged and that would cost you extra money.
So even if you get the best place, you will be saving around 2k per month by staying off-campus. Moreover, you won’t be restricted from following the hostel rules and can do whatever you want. I will therefore recommend you to go for an off-campus stay if you are able to find a good place!

IIT Delhi vs DTU vs NSUT which of these considered the best engineering college in Delhi (Rankwise)?
The primary step even before deciding on the Institute is to determine which field, or branch appeals to you to the extent that you want to spend the rest of your life in that field. Once you have done that, the next step is to research which Institute specializes in that field.
- For Coding, Computer Science is the best
- For Automobiles, the Mechanical branch is the best
- For interest in electronic devices, the best branches for you are ECE and EEE are the best
- If you are interested in electrical things like motors, and power supply in house EE is the right branch for you.

Lastly, I will suggest you go for IIT Delhi without much hesitation as it is a complete package, with the much coveted IIT tag, the best faculties, labs, and other amenities.
What is the meaning of the first mercy chance at Kurukshetra University?
Kurukshetra University gives you 3 attempts to clear your exam. If you fail at all those three chances the university gives you a mercy chance to clear that examination.
But since there are some students who are still unable to clear these mercy chances. So now they have been categorized as first and second mercy chances. Here as long as you can pay for the form and have time you can continue giving your exams.
