AT
Ankita Thakkar Posted On : October 25th, 2021
PGP-ACM Construction Management, National Institute of Construction Management and Research (2018)

I know people who did their Construction Management from NICMAR as well as other countries. Doing your Construction Management course has its advantages as you will learn about things related to construction in India.  However, if you pursue your course from Canada, you will get more exposure, new concepts, techniques. 

NICMAR:

Advantages- 

  • You can get a job in India or Arab countries. The industry demand is good for Construction Management in these areas. 
  • You can stay near to your family.
  • You can shift to any other country after a few years of experience.
  • If you want to change your job, the NICMAR certificate carries a lot of value.

Disadvantages- 

  • The initial investment is quite high.
  • NICMAR certificate is not recognized in western countries.

Canada:

Advantages-

  • You get a job in Canada.
  • Cushy salary
  • You will get to know new cultures and customs.

Disadvantages-

  • Degrees from Canada are not readily accepted in India, in case you want to come back to work here.
  • You will have to stay far away from friends and family. 

These are the things that you should consider before deciding where you want to pursue your degree from.

Do marks increase in the rechecking of AKTU?

SK
Shreya Kesarwani Posted On : November 7th, 2022
Former student at Vibrant Academy

An increase in the marks while rechecking happens rarely. You get additional marks either if an answer has been left unchecked or if there is some calculation mistake in marks. Otherwise, you don't usually get an increase in marks after rechecking. While rechecking examiners don't usually see if you have rightly got 1 mark in a 5 marks question.

Another option to gain marks is to fill out the challenge form. But the challenge fees and rechecking fees are high (INR 7000 and INR 1000 respectively). You can also opt for carryover paper. For this, you will have to work hard.

What are the chances in getting into NMIMS if you are waitlisted?

HS
Harish Shah Posted On : March 13th, 2023
MSc Finance in Finance, SVKM's NMIMS (Graduated 2019)

If you are considering admission to a program, it may be worth keeping in mind that waiting for a few days does not typically come at a high cost unless you have a specific reason why you need to have a definite result immediately. It is possible that some people who were granted admission may not end up accepting the offer for various reasons, such as receiving acceptance to another program or encountering unforeseen circumstances. This may open up opportunities for individuals who are on a waitlist or have not yet received a final decision.

If you are in a position where you can wait, it may be beneficial to do so. Waiting can provide additional time to evaluate your options and make a more informed decision. It may also give you the chance to explore other opportunities or to improve your credentials before making a commitment.

Here are complete details regarding NMIMS cutoff

Ultimately, it's important to make a decision that is best for you and aligns with your goals and aspirations. If waiting is a viable option, it may be worthwhile to exercise patience and see how the situation unfolds.

Im joining IIT Kanpur this year As a senior what is the most valuable tip that you would like to share

NG
Neha Ghosh Posted On : April 19th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (2020)

Here are a few valuable tips which Inas a senior would like to give to my juniors to make their journey at IIT Kanpur, a tad bit easier.

  • Never underestimate the importance of CPI as it’s a major determining factor for employability. You will lose out on high job opportunities if your CPI is below 8.
  • Socialize well with your wingmates as they will become your family seats from home and your connection is bound to continue even after a decade of passing out.
  • Don’t force extracurricular activities on yourself just for the sake of a resume and do them only if you are genuinely interested. This is because you will not be able to manage your time well and your CPI will be affected in the process.
  • Don’t pay much heed to the advice of second-year students as they have little knowledge about placements. It’s better to approach a final-year student for advice on the same.
  • Approach the professors frequently and develop a rapport with them. Ask them for career advice and such
  • Adopt one activity that will keep you physically fit and be consistent in that. It can be anything from a simple exercise to joining a gym or swimming.
  • Develop excellent communication and presentation skills
  • Start planning for the future and working on it from the 6th semester itself.

Trust me when I say IIT Kanpur offers the most enriching academic experience the country can offer!
