Do you regret joining BSc Research at IISc Bangalore over B Tech at IITs?
As a class 12th student, I wanted to become either an engineer or a doctor, simply out of societal pressure.
As I started understanding myself I realized that I did not want to become a doctor. Therefore, I started preparing for the IITs. I liked studying, so I was sure that I did not want a job after I was done with my UG degree. I wished to go into research.
I was naive at the time and thought IITians do not go for research work. I finally went for IISc to join BSc Research.
I do not regret joining BSc Research at IISc Bangalore. Had I done my B.Tech from an IIT, I would have switched to Neuroscience or Biophysics anyway. At IISc Bangalore, I realized my true calling.
Its curriculum made my switch to this interdisciplinary field a lot easier. The course fee for BSc Research at IISc Bangalore is affordable as well.
Therefore, I have no regret in choosing BSc Research at IISc Bangalore over B.Tech at IITs.

I am a first year student of IIT Kharagpur. I am not in any society. I have a bad CGPA. Is there anything I can do?
This is a common problem among freshers at IIT Kharagpur. Their CGPA is initially very low and they fail to become a part of any society. While this certainly is a crucial issue, it can be addressed so you don’t have to worry too much and demotivate yourself. Here are 3 simple ways to overcome this problem
- Academics: Before anything comes academics. So the first thing you should do to come out of such an issue is to improve your CGPA. This isn’t that difficult since one can easily score well by just studying 1-2 weeks prior to exams in IITs. Attend all classes and find the subject that is your strength and work on it.
- Focus on skills not resume: Shift the focus from building a sound resume to inculcating sound skills. For instance, the dramatics society will add to your speaking skills and confidence. The same can be achieved by just interacting more with people and attending inter-halls. One does not have to build their resume but their skill only. Hosting your department festival will provide you with managerial skills. So work on such activities and don’t run after societies.
- Take things lightly: Like Steve Jobs once said, “The best resumes never change the world.”, he literally proved it. Neither did he have a good GPA nor was he part of a good society, yet today he is among the richest and most successful people on Earth. Not being a part of society can be taken positively. One has a lot of free time on his hands and can invest the same in interesting things and learn new things.
So the key is to work on your academics, develop skills and take it easy.
How is IIM Calcutta for the advanced program in data science, 1 year certification course? Is it better than the ISB Hyderabad course and IIITB PGD in data analytics?
In my opinion, the IIM APDS is just an average course. ISB Hyderabad course is much better. It’s better to do Data Science courses from technical universities rather than Management colleges like IIM. Also, the IIM APDS course is quite expensive and more like a BA course than Data Science. It focuses more on Business Mathematics/ Business case study discussion than how to explore a data set.
ISBs course best among these courses because it has all the things that are required:
-
Brand
-
Faculty
-
Industry Connect
-
Curriculum
-
Alumni
Also this course has more time for all the subjects and capstone projects too. The only drawback is the high fees.
How much prize money can I get if I got AIR 1 in the NEET, AIIMS, and JIPMER?
The official authorities don’t award any prize money to NEET toppers but the toppers are awarded cash prizes from their coaching institute. For instance, Allen Carrier Institute produced NEET 2022 toppers Tanishka. In the victory carnival of ALLEN, she received 21 Lakhs along with other toppers.
Additionally here is what will happen if you get AIR 1:
- Your name will be included in the Limca Book of Records.
- Every news channel will want to feature you making you a celebrity overnight.
- All book brands pay for you for your testimony.
- The coaching module's back cover will have your photos.
However, I feel one must value respect and humbleness more than the money you earn.
How do I contact KIIT regarding admission queries?
The official website of KIIT University has the contact details of its admission cell. Drop them an email, and they’ll get back to you soon. If you want to take admission through management quota, you should probably visit them in person. In this case, they might not prefer to contact you over phone or email.
Which is better for ug university college of medical sciences (ucms) or vmmc?
As a student of UCMS, I will try to enlighten you about my college.
- Location- It is true that UCMS is located in the periphery of Delhi, and its surrounding is not as developed as that of VMMC. Regardless, the location of UCMS offers most of the facilities required for a good college life. You can access Cinepolis, PVR and Big Cinemas from here, reach CP in 20-30 minutes by metro/private vehicle, and catch a metro from Jhilmil metro station to explore Delhi/NCR.
- Campus- UCMS has a beautiful campus, the best among Delhi medical colleges. It has a huge central field where you can play cricket, basketball, football, etc. Boys get single seater hostel rooms from the first year itself. The campus has two 24*7 canteens, a book shop from where you can access all your medical books, an ATM, and a post office.The hospital has undergone renovation, and looks new and well managed.
- Academics- UCMS offers excellent academics. The faculty is skilled and teaches with sincerity. The Histology Lab in the Anatomy department is really good.
- Extracurriculars- UCMS has a sports society, a western dance team, a theme choreography team, a dramatics team, a musical society, a literary society and a medical education unit. You can join any of these.
According to me, both UCMS and VMMS are good medical colleges. You can choose the latter if location is a concern to you, otherwise, UCMS is a good choice too.
Should I choose VMMC over MAMC and UCMS just because of its PG benefits?
There are other advantages of choosing VMMC over the other two colleges, besides its internal PG quota.
First of all, Safdarjung hospital gets really good funding. In the last six years, it has built two new buildings (one Emergency and one Superspeciality). VMMC offers a decent college environment, just like other colleges. The internal PG quota is definitely a big advantage. To get internal medicine at MAMC, you’ll need around AIR 350. On the other hand, at VMMC, you’ll get it with AIR 9000.
This advantage might be diluted as more colleges get added to IPU. Regardless, you’ll be offered a great hospital, and a good college. Between MAMC and UCMS, the former has a locational advantage.
So, here is why you should choose VMMC over MAMC and UCMS.
