NT

B.Tech. in Electronics and Engineering, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Institute of Technology, Jalandhar (NITJ) (Graduated 2022)

Every coin has two sides. Similarly the institute NIT Jalandhar has both pros and cons. 

Pros-

  • Friendly ambiance. Seniors are there for support. Ragging is strictly prohibited 

  • The mess food is usually Punjabi and quite delicious 

  • Alot of emphasis is placed on extracurricular activities. There are various clubs like LADS, MADS etc. Various cultural events are also held.

  • The seniors here are literal genius and interactions with them is very beneficial 

  • Placement opportunities are pretty good at every branch

  • Proper hygiene facilities and lush green infrastructure add to its ambiance. New lecture halls and departments are under construction.

  • Great exposure through technical and cultural events Techniti and Utkansh

  • New short term courses are launched under GIAN (Global Initiative of Academic Networks )

  • International workshops and conferences that are held frequently help you gain a lot of experience

Cons-

  • The quality of faculty here is below average. They focus more on bookish knowledge than a broader practical approach.

  • Technical events resemble cultural events

  • No assistance is provided for training.

  • Marks matter more than general excellence. Everyone is in a war to secure the highest CGPA.

  • The 75% attendance rule works against the favour of many students.

So we can say that the merits overshadow the demerits to a great extent. In fact every NIT has similar cons which are almost uncontrollable. So just be a great learner and focus on your own betterment.

Which is better, NIT Jalandhar or Thapar University?

MA
Madhav Aneja Posted On : August 18th, 2023
Lived in Chandigarh, India

Anyone who has the chance to get admission to Thapar University should definitely prefer it to NIT Jalandhar. It’s one of the best private engineering colleges in India. However, Indians have many false notions regarding it just because of its high fees. In reality, Thapar University fees and BITS Pilani fees are more or less the same. 

There are false rumors circulating regarding the Thapar University admission process and many claim that it’s not transparent and there are a lot of conspiracies involved. However, it’s just like any other private university, only better than others. 

Thapar University's curriculum and faculty are excellent. So I will advise you to choose it unless you get the top 7–8 IITs, top 5 NITs, and BITS Pilani.

Which is considered better for doing an MTech (CS): IISC, Bangalore or IIT, Bombay?

MT
Mayank Trivedi Posted On : March 20th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (IISc)

In my opinion, IISc Bangalore is a way better option than IIT Bombay mainly because it offers core engineering in computer science e.g. Linux Kernel Programming. It is true computer engineering. It helps you understand the science of Computer Engineering and develop a strong grasp of it.

Any science be it Computer Science or any other is solely based on concepts and implementation of these concepts is quite difficult. An extensive knowledge of Computer Science doesn’t necessarily ensure great Computer engineering skills. But it’s true vice versa. So by going for IISC, one is surely choosing the path of excellence through the very foundation of Computer Science.

IIT Bombay is a brand that is known nationwide whereas IISc is known globally mainly because of its focus on core and complex concepts in Computer Science. Moreover the quality and quality of papers submitted by IISc is much more than IIT Bombay and this already reflects how successful it is going to become in the future.

Why is IIM Kashipur the least preferred IIM among the new ones?

SM
Shivansh Mishra Posted On : January 5th, 2023
B.Tech in Computer Science, IGIT, Sarang, Odisha (Graduated 2022)

Honestly, I wouldn’t call IIM Kashipur the least preferred but the most underrated IIM. It’s at par with all the IIMs with respect to placements, infrastructure, faculty, student-teacher ratio, and rigor. Yet it’s highly underestimated owing to its single disadvantage of location.

IIMs welcome students from all over India. But the students from South or North-East India find it rather difficult to first travel to Delhi and then travel by Road or Rail to Kashipur. They prefer their comfort over anything.

The other reason is that most IIMs have been able to establish a uniqueness about themselves. IIM Kashipur lacks in this aspect. IIM Rohtak is the oldest and closest to NCR, IIM Udaipur attracts students based on MHRD ratings, IIM Trichy made itself known as a CFA Recognised Institute under the Institute University Recognition Programme and IIM Ranchi has the best placement opportunities. IIM Kashipur has failed to market itself on a particular aspect and thus is underestimated.

Can I get into CSE at Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering with a rank of 21 429?

TG
Trisha Ghose Posted On : September 14th, 2021
Studied at Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering ,Bangalore

One of my friends recently graduated from Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering and according to him, if you fall under the General Merit category, there is no chance of getting CSE in DSCE. For DSCE the recent cutoff for CSE is 2361. 

But if you fall under other reservation categories, then there is a chance you can get a seat in the second shift in CSE. Check the recent cutoff rank for your category to know about your chances.

There is no difference between the normal shift or the second shift. The only difference is the college code. Rest all is as the normal shift. You can't change your branch if you get admission in the second shift.

If placement is your concern, then you can also go for DSATM. Because during placements, both DSCE and DSATM students are allowed to attend together in the same campus.

There is no partiality between DSCE or DSATM for placements. All are given equal opportunity.

How is CGPA calculated in KIIT University?

SP
Samrat Pradhan Posted On : July 25th, 2023
B.Tech from Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (2017)

KIIT University has a 10-point grading system for calculating CGPA. For this, you need to take the sum of the products of the credit weightage of each course and the grade point obtained in that course, divided by the sum of the credit weightage of all the courses. 

Consider the following example, if you have taken 5 courses in a semester with the given  grade points and credit weightage:

Course 

Grade Point

Credit Weightage 

Product

Course 1

8

4

32

Course 2

9

3

27

Course 3

7

3

21

Course 4

10

2

20

Course 5

8

2

16

Sum

14

116

Now, the sum of the products of the credit weightage of each course and the grade point is 116 while the sum of credit weightages is 14. To get the CGPA, you need to divide the former with the latter.

CGPA =116/14=8.28

To calculate CGPA for the entire program,

  • Take the sum of the product of credit weightage and grade points obtained in all semesters
  • Divide the above by the total credit weightage of all the courses in the program.

The relative grading system compares the grades of the students to the overall performance of the class.

Is an MBA from DU worth it?

BS
Bhoomika Sharma Posted On : October 6th, 2022
MBA in Global Business from University of Delhi

An MBA from FMS at DU has the same reputation as an MBA from any IIM. You will be surprised to learn that students frequently leave IIM for FMS due to its extremely low fee structure.

The Faculty of Management Studies at Delhi University also offers a two-year MBA programme. The college emphasizes practical learning by hosting workshops and internship programmes on a regular basis. FMS Delhi placement ended on a mixed note, with 100% of students receiving job offers. The average salary package was 23.20 LPA, but the highest package dropped from 54 LPA to 48 LPA. 

From a batch size of 216, 198 students participated in the process, with the remaining 18 opting out. The most notable achievement for the FMS placement 2019 was an increase in the average salary for female students, which increased to 25.10 LPA from 22.6 LPA previously.

DU FMS MBA programmes are among the best in India, with high educational standards and high returns on investment.

Can someone share their interview experience of MBA from DMS, IIT Delhi?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : April 1st, 2023
lives in New Delhi

My friend was an Economics fresher and appeared for an MBA interview at DMS, IIT Delhi. The answer is courtesy of his experience with the panelists.

The entire procedure comprised of WAT, Documents Verification, ECA document verification, and PI

Everything was done systematically and in an organized manner. The WAT was a 30-minute process and she was made to write on Outsourcing. After the ECA, she was escorted to the interview room where she found 2 female panelists. 

They asked for her brief introduction, something that is more than just her name and educational background. On hearing about her passion for writing she asked what kind of writing she was into.

Owing to her interest in hockey, they asked her some related questions like 

  • what improvements does the Indian Hockey team need
  • Who was her role model from the team and why
  • Why she did not pursue a hockey career 
  • Did she choose the game because of it being the national game ( which it is not thus being a trick)

Next she was asked about her School life, age, and past academics. She walked if she had any prior working experience. Being an economics student they asked her

  • What is elasticity and asked her to draw a graph
  • They asked her what would happen if the demand for a water bottle would be increased

Lastly they asked her about her weakness after which she was asked to leave. The overall interview was a good experience mainly because the panelists, one of which was an alumnus, were friendly and lightened the tension.

How do placements in IISC Bangalore compare to the IITs for PG courses? What are other differences?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : July 14th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

I am an M.Tech, therefore, I will talk about this course.

Placements are the main reason why students with a good rank end up choosing IIT B over IISc Bangalore for their M.Tech.

The reason why you would go for your Master's is because you want to work in the technical field. Those who complete an M.Tech are technically very efficient. Working in a non-technical field after your M.Tech is not a good choice. You could have done the same after your Bachelor's. An M.Tech degree in this scenario becomes useless.

IIT Bombay has a good placement record for M.Tech students. However, most job profiles are non-technical. If you wish to go for a non-technical job after your M.Tech, go for IIT B or the other IITs.

IISc Bangalore will groom you in such a way that you will become passionate about your field of study. Many IISc Bangalore students reject non-technical job offers. Most M.Tech students at IISc Bangalore try to get a research assistantship at foreign universities to groom themselves for a research career.

These jobs are provided with the help of your faculty advisor. Therefore, IISc Bangalore does not mention them in its profile.

Overall, after your M.Tech or any PG program, if getting a job with a good package is your topmost priority, go for IITs. IISc Bangalore is a better choice for future researchers.
