How promising are the branches other than CSE in NIT Jamshedpur? I got metallurgy in NIT J and am really worried.
I can completely understand your fear. I am an NIT Jamshedpur alumni from the Metallurgy branch, and here are some details about this course-
- Metallurgy has a lot of scope in the field of research.
- Some professors are really good and helpful. But don’t depend too much on them because you’ll have to do plenty of self-study.
- Metallurgy placements are good at NIT Jamshedpur. You’ll get opportunities for both, core and non-core jobs.
- Core companies like Vedanta Group, Tata Steel, JSW, JSL, etc. visit the campus with good CTC offers.
- Non-core companies offer high packages.
- Jamshedpur has plenty of steel companies. So you’ll find many of them visiting the campus during placements, offering good CTCs.
- You’ll get industrial exposure. The Metallurgy department organizes industrial visits.
- You’ll get the chance to do your projects/internships in renowned organizations like Tata Steel, Tata Motors and National Metallurgical Laboratory among others.
Work hard but also enjoy your B.Tech life to the fullest. Also, don’t worry, Metallurgy from NIT Jamshedpur is a good choice, especially for future prospects.
Is it necessary to take a laptop to IIT Kharagpur?
No, it’s not necessary at all to bring a laptop for studies at IIT KGP. While it is true that most professors use PPTs and PDFs to teach, you can always access them on your mobile phone. Some subjects might require programs like PDS, and you can go to the digital library and use computers.
A laptop might help you a bit but not having one will definitely not affect your scores or academic performance. In fact, a laptop might even become a source of distraction and might involve you in gaming.
So rest assured and enjoy IIT KGP campus life rather than spending your time in front of the laptop screen.

I have an option to choose from GMC/GSMC, Mumbai and KGMU lucknow for MBBS. Which college should I opt for?
I will try to answer this query as per my limited knowledge.
As for GMC, its teaching standards have declined. The classes aren’t as rich as in previous times. Even the study culture isn’t as good now. Only the brand name remains. Because of this, GSMC is currently much better ranked than GMC. So if you are from Lucknow, choose KGMU over GMC Mumbai. MBBS is quite stressful, and homely support does a lot for mental health.
Both GSMC and KGMU are good medical colleges. Choosing between these is a bit difficult. Research on the condition of PG reservation at Maharashtra colleges, and Provincial Health Services (PHS) rule in UP. This will help you make a better decision.
Both GSMC Mumbai and KGMU are excellent choices.Choose between the two based on various factors that I have listed above.
How is mining engineering at NIT Raipur? Is it worth joining?
I am a student of Mining at NIT Raipur. Based on my experiences, I will share some pros and cons of this branch at my college-
Cons-
- The curriculum is outdated.
- The faculty for mining isn’t good, barring very few teachers. You’ll have to rely solely on self study. Also, textbooks aren’t available for most subjects, so you’ll have to study from the ppts/pdfs provided by teachers.
- Campus placement is very low in core jobs.
- The college has poor infrastructure. It has poor sports facilities, and limited accommodation in hostels and the college auditorium.
- Most mining students don’t have any interest in their branch. Their aim is to crack the CAT/UPSC exam.
Pros-
- Getting up to 40-50% marks in end semester exams isn’t really difficult. It can be achieved by studying for just 2 days before each exam.
- You’ll get ample time to participate in college fest, and to explore your interests.
B.Tech Mining Engineering from NIT Raipur is the right choice if you wish to graduate with minimal efforts. Otherwise, I won’t suggest this branch at my college.
How is Chemical Engineering (Plastic & Polymer) at BIT Mesra? Should I join it aiming branch change after 1st year?
It is better not to target a branch change because good branches are available only if you have an 8.5+ CGPA (which varies based on the vacancies).
When it comes to Chemical Engineering, this branch opens up a plethora of opportunities. But you need to work hard and score a decent CGPA. Many recruiters opt for students with a good CGPA and practical knowledge. Don’t get distracted from your studies since this institute also encourages students to take part in extra-curricular activities.
How did you spend 4 years of your life at JNTUH College of Engineering Hyderabad?
I spent 4 years of my B.Tech at JNTUH having fun with my hostel mates and making endless memories. With them, time passed very quickly. We went on numerous tours and bike rides. We had even more fun during the fests. During the first 2 years, I spent a lot of time online, and during my third year, I developed an interest in Cricket.
I did study, but mostly a day or two before my exams. The days of exams and practicals passed very slowly. I remember how one of my hostel friends used to teach the entire syllabus to us one night before the exams.
I miss each one of my friends. Each one of them had a particular habit which still makes me laugh whenever I think of those days. I had a wonderful time at JNTUH College of Engineering during my B.Tech and always look back to those wonderful days in times of distress.
Which is better for EE, IIT Roorkee or IIT KGP?
Both IIT Roorkee and IIT Kharagpur are well-renowned institutions for electrical engineering studies. It all depends on personal preferences and priorities. Some students may prefer the academic focus of IIT Roorkee, while others may prefer the research opportunities at IIT Kharagpur. Both institutes have equally good labs and research facilities. However, IIT KGP being the oldest has a slight advantage over IIT Roorkee.
- IIT KGP boasts a massive and beautiful campus
- It has numerous international collaborations
- 2/*7 wifi facility is available within the campus with an average speed of 7–9 Mbps.
- Every hostel room at IIT KGP has 3 LAN ports with 70–80 MBPS speed.
- DC++ is available at IIT KGP
- IIT KGP lets students explore their interests through a wide variety of clubs.
- IIT KGP brand name will make you employable in the international market.
- IIT KGP is going to become the first smart college in India with 3 helipads, and an Ola pedal.
All these points prove that IIT KGP is a better option than IIT Roorkee for EE.
Is IIIT Hyderabad CSE as good as IIT Kharagpur CSE?
CSE department of both IIT Kharagpur and IIT Hyderabad is top notch offering the best coursework and coding culture.
But here’s the thing about CSE, it consists only of coding. In case you later find out that you are not really interested in it, joining IIT Hyderabad might prove to be a wrong decision. On the other hand, IIT KGP has many branches to choose from and also has noncore companies for Finance companies visiting the campus. One can pursue their area of interest and does not have to stick to the branch he chose.
Another reason why people prefer IIT Kharagpur over IIT Hyderabad is the better peer group in terms of JEE Rank. This is because IIT KGP has a cutoff lower than IITH thus inviting only the best.
Thus, IIT KGP has a slight advantage over IITH as far as alumni network, peer quality, and variety of branches are concerned. IITH is a good option only if you are confident that you are interested in nothing but coding. Else IIT Kharagpur is always the better choice.
Is it true that only sale profiles are offered in IMI Delhi?
During 2016, IMI witnessed an increase in batch size from 240 to 360. This took place under the discretion of the then Director General Padma Shree Dr. Bakul Dholakia, who was responsible for affairs during that time. Throughout his tenure, IMI excelled and the NIRF Rankings and Placement Reports during that time are a testament to the same. After this, he left but his work was in progress.
Post this scenario, the corporate world was struck with demonetization, and falling banking sectors and this combined with increased batch size caused havoc and created immense pressure on the placement cell. The placement figures saw a drastic fall despite being the hub of Finance.
However, IMI Delhi stood strong in those difficult times, bore the brunt of the crisis, and managed to secure 100% placement during that batch. The only slight drawback it faced was the reduction in the number of recruiters.
The number of business development profiles like banking, IT, marketing, and consulting roles, increased miraculously.
To sum it up, the increased batch size discouraged many students and this is where the discontentment regarding soles profiles stemmed from. Still, it’s not justified to say that IMI Delhi only provided sales profiles to its students. Post-pandemic IMI Delhi has been able to rejuvenate its reputation considerably and is maintaining a healthy balance ever since
A really important piece of advice, a B School can show you the path to success but will not take you to your goal. It’s you who has to get up, work hard and follow the path.
