SR
Soha Roy Posted On : May 19th, 2021
Studied B.Tech in ECE, KIIT

I have a friend at KIIT University. Here’s what he had to say regarding this question. 

Judging Parameters:

  • Academics of KIIT University: 3 out of 5
  • Research and Projects: 3 out of 5
  • Placement reports: 4 out of 5
  • Administration system: 4 out of 5
  • Infrastructure: 5 out 5
  • Extra-curricular Activities: 5 out of 5

Both academics and areas concerning research works need to improve. However, the present administration is trying to improve the situation. 

KIIT has also witnessed an upward surge in placements. Numerous premier companies such as Microsoft, Dell, and Amazon are visiting the campus placements. Here are the placement highlights for 2021.

Highest CTC

30 LPA

Average CTC

6 LPA

Total no of offers 

90

The non-academic part of the institute is quite commendable. There is the availability of many extra-curricular activities on campus. 

In brief, KIIT is rather a good choice if you are not only looking for academics. It offers a good campus life with decent placements.

How can I get admission in FTII?

SB
Sukanto Bose Posted On : November 22nd, 2021
studied Cinematography at Film and Television Institute of India

First, you should make sure that you have what it takes to make it in the film industry. Joining FTII doesn’t guarantee a job. It doesn’t offer placement. So, you will have to seek job opportunities on your own. However, the alumni base is quite helpful. 

At the entrance, there will be questions mostly from GK, Film History, Logical Aptitude, and design/writing/creative questions. Read up on Indian Film History. Read about the different ages and the people that made a mark on Indian Cinema. Even if you are not that interested in regional cinema, it’s important to know about them. At the entrance, they can ask about different parts of the history of Indian Cinema. You may also need to write your opinion. Also, watch a lot of films. Try to analyze them. Try to shoot a film, if you can. It will go a long way if you get through to the interview stage. 

You can easily find the previous year’s question papers of FTII.

How is the placement of M.Tech research at IISc Bangalore?

HY
Harsh Yadav Posted On : July 14th, 2023

I have a few friends who pursued an M.Tech (Research) at IISc Bangalore. They told me that placement opportunities are good and at par with the M.Tech program.

At IISc Bangalore, for any Engineering branch where the placements are good, you will get equal opportunities in M.Tech and M.Tech (Research). 

Make sure to go for an M.Tech (Research) only if have a passionate interest in your branch because you will be working on your research project. Though you will be spending an extra 0.5 to 1 year on your research project, the coursework load will be comparatively less on you. 

You will also get enough time to spend on a particular course, so you can go for your Ph.D. in that area with a more informed mind.

Some Business, Finance, and IT firms may not allow M.Tech (Research) students to sit for the placement process. However, core companies make no such differentiation. 

Therefore, the placement of M.Tech (Research) at IISc Bangalore is pretty decent and at par with M.Tech.

How is DoMS, IIT Madras for an MBA?

VS
Vineet Shah Posted On : March 28th, 2023
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (2021)

If you have other options like older IIMs or private B Schools such as MDI or SP Jain, I would recommend you to go for them instead of DoMS, IIT Madras. I am not saying MBA from DoMS is a bad idea, it’s just that B Schools are best for MBA.

MBA program offered at DoMS IIT Madras has the following pros and cons

Pros

  • Excellent ROI
  • Small size, hence less competition during placements 
  • 100% placements 
  • Average salary was recorded at INR 16.66 LPA which is similar to that of many private B Schools
  • IIT Madras campus offers the most dynamic campus life one could ask for providing great exposure 
  • IIT Madras has a great student exchange program and also pays the expenses unlike other B Schools
  • You get to work with Engineering students on projects or startup incubators thus broadening the experience 

Cons

  • IIT Madras has a quarter semester for the MBA instead of the usual trimester which sometimes becomes very hectic.
  • Being a technical Institute, its MBA program has less value than other courses offered at the Institute

Overall, DoMS offers the best experience and the MBA is a good choice considering the ROI, campus life, and exposure provided by IIT Madras.

If a person has short attendance in the 1st semester in DU, what could be the consequences?

AM
Addwait Mahajan Posted On : March 6th, 2023
Studied at the University of Delhi

In order to sit for exams, it's important to maintain a good attendance record, as the university has become stricter in this matter. If you're close to 67% attendance, you'll generally be given an admit card, but if your attendance is significantly lower, you may be asked to sign an affidavit before the card is issued.

While marks do contribute to your overall percentage, they may not be the most important factor. The quality of the lectures you attend is also crucial, as these are carefully prepared and analyzed by the professor. By actively listening and engaging with the material, you can gain valuable knowledge that will benefit you in the long run. The video will enlighten you on the attendance policy of DU

Attendance, however, is the most important aspect of attending classes. If you miss too many classes, you will miss out on important lectures and discussions, which can impact your understanding of the subject. It's important to try and attend as many classes as possible, and if you do face attendance issues, it can be helpful to speak with your professors or student officers to find a solution. By being proactive and engaged, you can make the most of your university experience and set yourself up for success in your future endeavors.

  • Since there is no negative marking you can attempt all the questions to increase possibilities of selection.

Is Christ University, Bangalore or XIME Bangalore better?

A
Admin Posted On : May 16th, 2024

Every college has its own set of pros and cons. Both Christ University and XIME are well-known reputed institutions. It depends on the course that you aim to pursue to compare which is better. When it comes to campus life, Christ is the winner. The beautiful green campus with acres of active campus life of the students being involved in multiple extracurricular activities, seminars and workshops is what attracts the students. However, the fee structure of Christ is a bit higher as compared to XIME. Both colleges are known to provide good placement to their students and are visited by top recruiters. However, it again depends on your course of preference. Go through the websites of both colleges and talk to seniors who can guide you with some other queries which you may have.
