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.
Despite being a relatively new IIM, IIM Trichy has already established itself as one of the best among the newer IIMs. It currently ranks 18th in terms of average salary, according to the placement report and NIRF ranking. The institute is known for its strong placements and high return on investment, particularly in its flagship PGPM program.
In terms of facilities, IIM Trichy boasts a large campus spread across 175 acres, including student hostels, faculty residences, a library, recreational facilities, and executive residences. The institute is particularly strong in finance, with a renowned faculty base and an association with the CFA.
It also maintains a strong sense of community through events such as the annual sports meet, "Sangaram," which includes IIM Trichy, Bangalore, Kozhikode, and Vizag. The academic rigor at IIM Trichy provides students with a challenging and pressure-filled business school experience.

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

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.
