Is branch sliding option there at MNNIT Allahabad?

sd
saptarshi dutta Posted On : October 6th, 2023

MNNIT Allahabad has a branch sliding option at the end of the first year. But it comes with its own set of challenges. Here are the key requirements in a nutshell:

  • Eligibility: To apply for branch sliding, you need a CPI of at least 7.5.
  • Competition: Brace yourself for some fierce competition. With just a handful of seats available in each branch and a whopping 90% of students applying, it's like JEE Main all over again.
  • CPI Requirement: If you're aiming for the hotshot branches like IT or CSE, you'll need a CPI north of 9.0.
  • Result Timing: Now, here's the tricky part. The timing of the result announcement can be a tad frustrating. You might spend a couple of weeks attending classes in your current branch before you get the green light to switch. It's like a plot twist in your academic journey.
  • Catch-Up Game: So, you'll need to be a master at catching up. You'll join a new branch and realize that you've got some ground to cover.

In conclusion, branch sliding is an exciting opportunity that offers students the chance to explore different academic avenues. However, it comes with a set of challenges, including intense competition, and stringent CPI requirements.

Why is IIT Madras not popular like IIT Bombay/Delhi, though Chennai is a metropolitan city?

PR
Paridhi Rathi Posted On : March 16th, 2023
Master's in Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM) (Graduated 2017)

Here are some points to consider if you're thinking why IIT Madras is not popular like IIT Bombay/Delhi, though Chennai is a metropolitan city:

  • IIT Madras is located in Adyar, which is easily accessible from the airport and Chennai Central and Egmore railway stations.
  • Chennai has plenty of sightseeing options, particularly its beaches, like Marina and Elliott, as well as nearby tourist locations like Mahabalipuram and Pondicherry.
  • However, Chennai's climate can be described as hot and humid throughout the year, with only slight variations in temperature between the three seasons. Mumbai, in comparison, has a cool breeze across the beachside in the evenings to cool you down.
  • Language could be a barrier in Chennai, although many non-Tamilians have settled here, and you can manage with a working knowledge of English. 
  • Finally, IIT Madras consistently ranks at the top in the NIRF rankings for back-to-back years, which is a testament to its research facilities, faculty, and infrastructure.

Overall, while Chennai has some concerns, it is by no means an inferior option compared to other cities, and IIT Madras could be an excellent choice for you.

Overall, IIT Gandhinagar is too focused on placements and does not encourage preparing for competitive exams.

If NSIT gets placement of 1 crore while IIIT Delhi gts only 33 lakhs per annum, why isn't NSIT better than IIIT Delhi?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : August 21st, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

Here are a few pros and cons of the institute that will help you understand this matter better

Pros

  • NSIT offers an excellent ROI considering its minimal fees and excellent scholarships, internship stipends, and placement opportunities. 
  • The academic workload is very low and studying a month prior is more than enough to ace the exams here. This helps you save time for MOOCs and build up your CV.
  • The quality of companies that visit for placement is top-notch. The institute welcomes diverse recruiters from silicon valley startups to very established big MNCs. 
  • NSIT Delhi has some of the most talented people taking admission here. The 1% of people in AIEEE or JEE-MAINS get to study here. An excellent peer culture helps you gain extra knowledge of life.
  • NSIT has a very rich coding culture and has produced some of the best coders. Online coding is common here and people can be seen involved in Codechef, SPOJ, Codeforces, and TopCoder.

Cons

  • The syllabus is outdated, obsolete, and fails to meet industry trends.
  • The faculty is pretty demotivated and has no interest in teaching. You will have to resort to self-study most of the time and seek help from your seniors.
  • Being a government college, getting some administrative work done is a big task. The results are often full of errors and approaching the administration and getting your query solved is difficult.
  • The research culture is pathetic here and the faculty do nothing to promote it among students. In fact, it’s difficult to even approach them for a project.

Overall, the institute offers a plethora of opportunities, especially in the IT sector but the quality of academics is a bit on the average side. As for your question, the yearly compensation is not 1 crore but much less. The figures are misleading and pay us just like what Google would pay in India around INR 24-25 LPA.

What is the difference between VTU and autonomous?

PP
Pari Patel Posted On : October 4th, 2021
BE Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering & Mathematics,Visvesvaraya Technological University (2017)

Having read some reviews online, I can say that there is not much difference in the colleges but the approaches to studies or academics, placements, etc. vary to a great extent. 

  • The syllabus in autonomous is designed in a way that keeps students in the centre and the methods get revised once every two years. 
  • But in VTU, it gets revised only once every 5 years. It is not student-centered but exam-centered. 
  • From an exam perspective, there are differences also. Autonomously, the question paper is set by the professor or an expert and is assessed internally too. 
  • But in VTU, the paper is set by a field expert and the evaluation takes place by exchanging mark sheets regionally. 
  • Sometimes, it is easy for autonomous students to score because the questions are set by their own professor and it is not the case with VTU students. 

Now, when coming to the certification level, your degree certificate will have the name of your autonomous college that comes under VTU as it will be issued by VTU. But the college will not be mentioned if your degree is from VTU.

You need to be aware of the differences between the two in the aspects like faculty, facilities, and placements. In the end, these 3 are the most important things that depict the status of an institute.

What is it like to be in IIM Ahmedabad without any IIT degree?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : October 4th, 2023

IIM Ahmedabad without an IIT degree is not only possible but also an exciting opportunity. To get into IIM Ahmedabad, you must first master the CAT test-taking approach, which takes time. It goes beyond merely covering the course, which will take at least 6 months for a typical student. 

Do you know what's really cool about being surrounded by IITians, especially when it comes to their incredible math skills? It's like being in the presence of math wizards. But here's the thing, at IIM Ahmedabad, there are only a few papers that dive deep into pure mathematics. So, those math geniuses get to shine brightly in those subjects. It's their moment to show their exceptional talents.

It doesn't end there. IITians, like everyone else, have their strengths and weaknesses. You might see them struggling in subjects like Operations, Marketing, or Organizational Behaviour (OB). It's a reminder that being exceptional in one area doesn't mean they're naturally gifted in everything.

Remember the phrase from marketing, 'Carve your niche'? That's your superpower. Focus on what you're passionate about, where you excel, and where you can make a real impact.
