JD
Jakil Dedhiya Posted On : January 16th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Shillong (2019)

The only means of transport to reach IIM Shillong is a cab. You can book it privately or go for a shared one as well depending on your budget. The duration of the journey is around 3-4 hours on any typical day. There are two routes to reach IIM Shillong 

  1. Take a shared cab from Airport/Railway station and take a stop at Police Bazar. From there you can take another cab to IIM Shillong which is around 15 mins away. 
  2. You can directly hail a private cab from Guwahati Airport or Guwahati Railway station to IIM Shillong. This option is suitable for those who are traveling to the college for the first time. The fair amounts to something around 2k and can be shared by people accompanying you.

Once you are familiar with the traffic and routes, you can look for other options as well.

Should I prefer BITS Pilani Computer Science or IIT KANPUR Chemical Engineering?

A
Admin Posted On : June 25th, 2024

According to my knowledge, IIT Kanpur Chemical Engineering will give you a better perspective even in your noncore fields. So if you get a chance in IIT K then just go for it, it's one of the finest IITs in India, and the experience you will get there is incomparable. 

  • IIT Kanpur is situated in a developed place though not much but better than Pilani for sure. Also, connectivity is good.
  • Chemical engineering is a Good branch with lots of opportunities.
  • Fees- IIT Kanpur fees for 4 years is 8 lakhs while BITS fees is around 19 lakhs.
  • IIT Kanpur has a NIRF ranking of 4 while BITS Pilani has an NIRF ranking of 25.
  • The median salary of BITS Pilani is 18.2 LPA while the median salary of IIT Kanpur is 22.07 LPA
  • More than 250 companies like Microsoft, Fujitsu, Samsung, Reliance, Goldman Sachs, and McKinsey visited IIT Kanpur campus in 2023.
  • Great alumni - No doubt BITS also has alumni at par with those of IITs but the thing is that all IITians prefer IITians, by that I mean to say that no matter whether that guy sitting there is from IIT Bombay or Kanpur or any IIT for that matter, they will prefer any IITian over BITSian if no other criteria are available for differentiation.

Why do people choose naval architecture? What is the scope of naval architecture in India or abroad? I am thinking of doing it at CUSAT.

Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : August 9th, 2023

CUSAT offers a four year B.Tech program in Naval Architecture and Shipbuilding. My brother pursued this degree from CUSAT a few years back.

Naval Architecture deals with vessels, moving or stationary, that serve in a marine atmosphere. The vessels include ships plying in ocean or coastal areas, offshore rigs, underwater vehicles, submarines etc. Naval Architects perform mathematical calculations to ensure the sea worthiness of these vessels. For this purpose, softwares and programs are created and fed as algorithms to a machine. Most universities offer a secondary specialization alongside Naval Architecture. If you pursue your B.Tech in Naval Architecture and Shipbuilding, other than N.A. calculations, you will also work on shipbuilding techniques and practices. My brother also worked on a project on the preliminary design of a ship plying in a specific route required to carry cargo(s) at its maximum capacity(meeting the owner’s requirements).

As far as job prospects are concerned, as a Naval Architect, you can be employed by shipping companies, classification societies, consultancies, or research institutes. You can also work at shipyards or at offshore companies that manufacture maritime equipment like life-saving appliances or ship engines.

Indian organizations offer a limited salary in this field, usually ranging from 25,000 - 50,000 INR per month. Abroad, the salary usually ranges from 12 - 40 LPA. Your salary will depend upon your location and job profile. Offshore offers good packages which are way higher than shipbuilding. But because of changes in oil prices at present, only a few offshore companies hire freshers.  Depending on your job type and designation, you will get to travel sometimes/frequently for business, projects or some technical testing work.

You can go for this course at CUSAT. However, I would recommend you to first prioritize the top Indian and Foreign institutions offering this program and to keep CUSAT as a secondary choice.

Is it true that we can’t take hr as a major specialization in Great Lakes Chennai for the PGDM programme?

GM

Great Lakes Institute of Management

The reality is that only a few students got the opportunity to do HR as a major specialization in Great Lakes Chennai. Some students had success as they got reputed positions in big companies. This course requires a minimum of 15 students. The placement support for HR is comparatively low here.  If your batchmates are willing to major in HR, then the journey will be easier.
