KIIT University has a very dedicated T and P Cell that is well aware that placement is the main criterion to analyze the college's worth. It works relentlessly throughout the year with HRs of different companies at different levels. Whenever a mass-recruiting company is planning to visit, thorough placement training takes place. 

Here is what the placements at KIIT look like

  • The training for placements starts as early as the second year for BTech students. The third year is more intense training while in the 4th year, placements are given importance to academics.
  • Trainers conduct the Pre-placement Training on the basis of previous year papers and technical interview questions.
  • HR training is carried out by private companies/ Career Advisory & Augmentation Services (CAAS).
  • Mock interviews and mock-GDs are conducted to ensure students' dedication to placements.
  • The students are taught about everything regarding placements from pin to plane.

KIIT has managed to maintain a good placement scenario thanks to the relentless efforts of the T and P cell. The efforts are reflected in the following statistics:

Is it worth joining NIT silchar?

MR
Moitrayi Roy Posted On : August 24th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology Silchar

My father is an ex-TnP coordinator of NIT-Silchar, and I asked him the same question. Here is what he shared

  • Research by faculty : NIT Silchar has a few faculty who are involved in research and are known in their respective fields. 
  •  relevant forums.
  • Research by students : NIT Silchar students work on materializing their fantasies through their research work. They apply the knowledge they have gained in fields such as machine design, Image Processing, Machine Learning, etc., and generate a lot of intellectual property.
  • Placements (CSE) : Big companies like Goldman Sachs, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Wells Fargo, SAP Labs, Samsung R and D, Snapdeal, C-DOT (PSU), DRDO, etc. hire almost 50% of the CSE batch. Last year, 82 out of 97 students got placed in the CSE branch. 
  • Placements Core: Many PSUs along with some private firms come with decent packages. Companies like BPCL, HPCL, OIL, IOCL, ONGC, POWERGRID, HSCC, BEL, REC, DRDO(MOD, GOI), etc. visit NIT regularly. 
  • Start-Ups: NITs get funds directly from the government so NIT Silchar has its incubation cell. 
  • Campus Life: NIT Silchar campus spreads across 650 acres of Campus and is majorly run by students. Students manage most affairs from messes to Gymkhana Events. This inculcates managerial skills among the students. 

So yes, NIT Silchar is worth every penny you spend here!

What is the scope of doing Post Graduation Diploma in Applied Statistics from IGNOU?

AC
Anwesha Chaudhary Posted On : October 17th, 2022
Currently studying PGDAST (Applied statistics) from IGNOU

PGDAST is concerned with applied statistics. As a result, it requires fewer proofs. There are more theorems, formulas, and methods to employ. While a Masters's program contains numerous proofs as well as an applied component. However, PGDAST will undoubtedly improve your statistical knowledge. Furthermore, statistics have numerous applications in computer science and big data/data research. As a result, it will undoubtedly improve your career prospects. This is especially true given the scarcity of computer engineers who are also statisticians. And statisticians are in high demand in information technology firms. So you have an advantage over others.

It does not entitle you to study higher mathematics or statistics at any Indian university or IIT. Because PGDAST is only a one-year program, as opposed to MSC, which is a two-year program. PGDAST can also be completed by graduates from any discipline. While a Master's in Statistics requires a minimum three-year Bsc degree in Math/statistics. The PGDAST program is a diploma program.

You should go for it if you want to learn statistics. It will undoubtedly be a rewarding experience. One year of effort is not excessive. You must be consistent. To be eligible to sit for term-end exams, you must complete assignments. Even if you do not consider the benefits of computer science, it will almost certainly foster a new way of thinking.

PB
Pratik Bahera Posted On : August 4th, 2023
Master's program from Jawaharlal Nehru University (2021)

The syllabus is based on the Bachelor’s level political science curriculum. If you are familiar with the concepts and theories that you studied during your bachelor’s, then you can easily crack the entrance examination. 

Some important topics include the following:

  • Political Theory and Thought
  • Comparative Politics and Political Analysis
  • Indian Government and Politics
  • Bureaucracy and Public Administration
  • International Relations - Theory; Indian Foreign policy; Globalization

If you are from a non-humanities background, make sure to put in extra effort and be clear with all concepts and theories. To get a fair idea, refer to the books listed below

  1. Political theory- Rajeev Bhargav
  2. Global Politics- Heywood
  3. Introduction to the constitution of India- DD basu
  4. Western Political Thoughts- Shefali Jha

How did you feel after visiting IIT BHU after so many years?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : June 11th, 2023

My brother is an alumnus of IIT (BHU) Varanasi and has a special attachment to this place. He still is in touch with his friends from the college. Recently, a miracle happened. He got the golden opportunity to deliver a talk at IIT after 30 years of his graduation. 

On reaching the institute he received a warm welcome, and a student even offered to take him on a tour of the campus. 

The first visit he made was to his final year hostel that had the most amazing memories, Visvesvaraya Hostel. He realized that apart from a new flow and changes in the occupancy number, everything was just the same. After this, his 2nd and 3rd year hostel, the Limbdi Hostel seemed to have changed a bit and seemed livelier.

By 6 30 he was ready to deliver his lecture although anxious about the audience. Surprisingly enough the hall was full and many had come to attend the lecture. He spoke on the current economic condition of India and answered all their queries. After this, there was a group picture with the members of the club.

The students requested him to give an interview on the current economic scenario of the country. He was amazed by their enthusiasm and agreed to do so. 

The visit brought back the best memories and he left with a heavy heart and teary-eyed in awe with the warmth and spirit of the students and the institute.
