Does DTU provide Lateral Entry?
Yes, DTU provides lateral entry. DTU LEET (Delhi Technological University Lateral Entry Engineering Test) is conducted by the college through which students can get direct admission in the third semester of BTech programs. DTU provides 14 courses for BTech admission. Only those candidates who have completed a Diploma in Engineering can apply for it.
Admission is given on the basis of a 2-hour written exam conducted by the college and a merit list is prepared on the basis of the examination scores. The advantage that the late entrants have over others is that they don’t have to qualify through appearing in JEE Main or any other competitive exam.
The courses available under the program are Polymer Science and Chemical Technology, Mathematics and Computing, Engineering Physics, Biotechnology, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, and many more.
The syllabus for DTU LEET is released by the college every year on their website. One of the things to be concerned about here is that it’s not guaranteed that you would be able to get the same branch which you had in your diploma as it depends on the number of seats available for a specific course. So, there are students who get admission through lateral entry but end up opting for a branch totally different from what they studied in their diploma, so it’s for you to decide whether you want to choose this option or not.

Do all of the 7 AIIMS take their students for Shimla trip or is it only for AIIMS Delhi students?
Talking about official out-station trips, none of the AIIMS institutions send their students on official out-station trips.
AIIMS Jodhpur sends its students to various inter-college fests, for example, Chiasma (AIIMS Bhubaneswar), and Silhouettes (AFMC, Pune), among others. The same goes for other AIIMS institutions.
Regarding the annual freshers’ trip to Shimla, the trip is planned by the Student Welfare Union of AIIMS Delhi. Thus, it is not an official trip and is organized by a student body. AIIMS Delhi has been in place for a very long time and so while other institutions do not have such a tradition in place, the student body at AIIMS Delhi follows it.
How difficult it is for an average student to crack XAT exam to get XLRI? How much is the CAT score of students who go for XLRI?
Well, my friend has appeared for both CAT and XAT exams. She filled the MBA admission form from XLRI knowing the difficulty level of XAT. XLRI is a prominent university that has high demands among the students hence, it isn’t easy to take admission here. If you clear CAT with good marks, there are high possibilities to clear XAT with good marks as well.
- There are few instances where students scoring low percentage in CAT, score more percentage in XAT. It happens because they divide the paper according to their skills. If you are good at the quant section, you may clear CAT quite easily.
- On the other hand, XAT is all about verbal and decision-making skills yet you need to make sure that you score around the passing marks in the quant section.
- CAT is about 66% of quant questions whereas XAT has 37% of the quant questions; which has sums based on ethical decision making. However, scoring up to the mark in XAT and CAT comes hand in hand as the difficulty level for both the exams is similar.
Considering the ‘average’ students who usually score average in academics, they have an equal chance to get admission. Moreover, I believe that besides passing or scoring good marks in the XAT or CAT, the admission of the students depends on other factors like knowledge, performance in GD-PI and total appearing candidates.

Why do some students in IIT Bombay leave high-paying jobs and join grad schools for PhD?
It’s highly illogical to question why some students in IIT leave high-paying jobs and join graduate schools for Ph.D. This is because some people tend to do whatever makes them happy rather than following the sheep mentality. They don’t consider money as the only source of happiness. And they know that a high-paying job will rob them of mental peace due to a lot of responsibilities they might not even enjoy. So they choose a happier and simpler part which is pursuing a Ph.D.
Another major reason why people may pursue a Ph.D. rather than working at a top company is their strong inclination to words academics, and they may not be satisfied with a bachelor's degree and crave higher studies in the form of PhD. Basically, the reason behind such a decision is subjective and depends solely On the particular individual, and cannot be objectified.
The common reason why people make such a decision is that they have more interest in studies and doing a job would hinder that passion. Doing a Ph.D. gives you opportunities to travel and enjoy life generally. That being said, it's not necessary that a Ph.D. is easy for everyone. It strictly depends upon one’s preferences and capabilities.
Why is BITS Pilani not in QS World University Rankings?
First of all, your statement is false, BITS Pilani is certainly ranked by the QS World University Rankings. BITS Pilani Overall ranking by QS World University is 1001 out of 1400 colleges in International in 2023 and it was 1001 out of 5500 colleges in International in 2021.
International rankings are a repetitive process, each year taking a fresh look at institutions that deserve to be included and institutions that deserve to be displaced. Usually, Indian universities struggle in international rankings because they are extremely teaching-focused, and thus their research is either lesser in volume, international recognition and influence, or both.
Over the past few years, top private institutions in India have brought changes in this system and are becoming more qualified for inclusion in international rankings.
Which is a better option for EEE, NIT Trichy, or BITS Goa?
You will find that both NIT TRICHY and BITS Goa are excellent colleges for EEE, and they can be rated on par based on the following parameters:
- Teaching quality
- Infrastructure
- Labs
- Campus Interviews
- Academic Rigour
- Hostels
- Technical and Cultural Festivals
- Campus Life
- Peer groups
- Mess food
If you have a financial constraint, you may find it beneficial to join NIT TRICHY since their fees are less than half of BITS.
Alternatively, if you value having a flexible timetable where you get to choose your own professors, or if you prefer the concept of zero attendance policy, BITS may be a better fit for you.
Keep in mind that BITS does not have a reservation policy for SC/ST/OBC.
