Is a BA programme a good course if I do it from DU?

PR
Prakriti Raina Posted On : October 12th, 2022
LLB from Campus Law Centre, Faculty of Law, University of Delhi

BA at DU can be BA (Program), BA (Hons), and in Honors, you can take the specialization course in Economics, Political Science, History, English, Hindi, Geography, and so on.

Furthermore, if you expect to get a higher percentage in BA courses, you are mistaken. Students at Delhi University typically receive very low grades. The average score is between 51 and 58%. It would not surprise me if someone became a University topper with only 58% of the marks.

So, just for the DU brand, choose the BA program and if you want to work in the civil service, you're on the right track.

What should freshers do at the BITS Pilani hostel?

Aparna Das Posted On : July 3rd, 2023

Freshers at BITS Pilani are usually given 3-4 days to explore the campus after hostel allotment and before classes commence. Here are a few things you should do if you are a fresher here

  • Explore the campus instead of staying holed up in your room and meeting new people. You will make friends for life here so don’t hesitate from interacting with everyone around you.
  • Initially, you won’t be able to go to the common rooms so instead you can spend time at Red Chillies, Ice and Spice, or the institute cafeteria if you're craving something tasty
  • Once the classes begin, make sure to attend the lectures and tutorials.
  • You can explore the beauty of Goa during weekends but refrain from involving yourself in alcohol.
  • If you are tired of mess food you can order from Domino
  • You can also stay in your room and install a DC++ client to browse and download all content on the DC servers.

So, as a fresher, there are several things to do at BITS Pilani Goa campus but personally, I feel you should focus most on socializing and strengthening your network.

Is BITS Pilani a good place to study?

PS
Prateek Sharma Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

BITS Pilani is considered to be one of the top engineering institutes in India. It has a strong reputation for its academic programs and research opportunities. Let’s consider the following factors to determine if it’s a good place to study or not.

Academics

  • The faculty pool is inferior to that of the top IITs with a few exceptionally good professors
  • The professors deliver limited knowledge meant to just complete the course and not give an actual understanding of the topic at high levels.
  • The overall academic ambiance is average 

Infrastructure:

  • BITS Pilani infrastructure is considered good surrounded by natural beauty.
  • The hostels are also great with big rooms and basic amenities. 
  • The internet facilities here are amazing with a great DC++ Network. 

Peer

  • BITS Pilani is widely known for attracting the best minds thereby maintaining the crowd quality.
  • BITS has no reservation policy

Research:

  • BITS Pilani is not a government-funded institute so to conduct research the funds here are limited thus a poor research culture.
  • The quality of PhDs in BITS is pathetic and it will take some time to improve the research work.

Fees

  • It’s a well-known fact that BITS Pilani fees are very high thus becoming a major reason why students from financially unstable backgrounds cannot afford to study here.
  • Every year, the fees suffer a 15% hike which is not justified considering there is not much improvement in the facilities.

Placements

  • The placements for the IT and non-core sectors are great and at par with old IITs.
  • Core placements for Civil and Manufacturing branches are average.

In all, BITS has its weaknesses and you can consider it a good option if you are ready to overlook them.

What you will say about reputation of BIT Sindri?

AM
Ankur Mishra Posted On : April 19th, 2023
Studied at Birsa Institute of Technology, Sindri

 If you're looking to evaluate the reputation of BIT Sindri, here are some solid grounds to consider:

  • Return on Investment (ROI): The tuition fee for Engineering at BIT Sindri is only Rs. 80,000 for the entire course, which means a very high return on investment. By comparison, in NITs and IITs, the fee for one semester alone can be as much as Rs. 40,000. Private colleges can charge as much as Rs. 80,000 for one semester.
  • Alumni and Alumni Network: BIT Sindri was established in 1949, which means it has a rich legacy and a vast alumni network all over the world. BIT Sindri alumni hold top management positions in many Indian PSUs and abroad. They are also entrepreneurs of many big companies in various fields.
  • Lab and Professors: BIT Sindri's labs were so good in the 1960s that even IIT Kharagpur students used to come here to do their research in Sindri, particularly for Aerodynamics and High-tension Electrical Labs. While some of the labs may be outdated now, the Jharkhand Government has allocated more than Rs. 170 crore for the college, and labs are being renovated with new technologies. Although there is a scarcity of professors at BIT Sindri, recent hiring of PhDs from IITs has bridged some of the gap. Some professors are technically proficient and also help students to get internships in the industry.
  • Campus: BIT Sindri has a sprawling lush green campus of around 400 acres, with some old and new buildings. Hostels have been renovated. Although it takes around one hour from Dhanbad, there is no multiplex or mall in Sindri. The campus lacks in sports amenities, but Open Air theater and Auditorium are excellent, where all the rock concerts and cultural fests are organized.
  • BIT'an Senior-Junior Bond: The bond between senior and junior students is strong at BIT Sindri. They guide each other on how to crack exams (GATE, CAT, GRE), throw parties, and help with monetary needs. It's like a brotherly relationship. Senior students also help new students arrange accommodation and understand the dynamics of various departments in Steel plants.
  • Quality of Students in BIT: The top 20% of students in any branch at BIT Sindri are at par with IIT students. Many students have cracked GATE, BARC, ISRO, CSIR-NML lab, and CAT. Many reputed core companies come here for recruitment.
  • Life in BIT: BIT Sindri has the best mess food, with room delivery facility, and many clubs for socializing and enhancing interpersonal skills. BIT'an runs Prayaas India, an NGO that is dedicated to teaching underprivileged children from nearby areas and organizing blood donation camps (more than 500 units of blood donation in a year).

How do you prepare for the JNU entrance exam for BA hons in foreign languages?

SO
Sayla Ojha Posted On : September 30th, 2021
B.A in French at JNU Delhi (2020)

One of my friends was selected for BA French at JNU a few years back and here are his tips on how to do well in the entrance exam. 

G.K: You should incorporate every little detail from Arts, Literature, Drama, Culture, Dress, Cuisines, Geography, Nobel Laureates, and more to become familiar with the language you have pursued.

Reasoning Skills: You should be proficient in solving several coding-decoding problems, especially alphabetical orders, blood relations, syllogisms, direction, and ranking tests.

English: It is equally important to be as strong in English as you are in other subjects. Various course areas, like the Basic grammatical Rules, Vocabularies, Reading Comprehension, and Passages should be on the tip of your tongue. For best results, you should follow the editorial and articles published in “The Hindu.” 

English includes a major marking scheme for all the other sections. Now, since an essay alone contains a scheme of about 20-30 marks, it is best that you practice writing ingeniously without using heavy vocabulary. JNU appreciates the artistry of innovation and it is best to keep their tastes intact. Simplicity is encouraged along the lines of critical thinking, at least more than sophisticated word formations. 

It is best to keep your thoughts perfectly aligned with the subject area, and not outside of it.

What is the purpose of a study center/regional center in IGNOU?

YJ
Yashoda Joshi Posted On : October 20th, 2022
B.C.A in Bachelor of Computer Applications Degrees, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

Every state in India may have at least one IGNOU regional centre. Some people may have multiples. Kerala, for example, has two.

Regional centres provide admission, textbooks, and results, among other things.

Some courses are available for study in regional centres, but they are uncommon. Study centres are typically used for classes as well as the administration of theory and practical exams.

There are numerous IGNOU study centres located throughout the state and the country. Typically, each district in a state has at least one IGNOU study centre. However, this is conditional on the state. One issue is that not all study centres offer all IGNOU courses.

It is possible that the course you want to study is not available at your nearest study centre. As a result, you must choose a study centre based on your desired course. This is due to the fact that a course that requires practical classes requires a study centre with computer facilities, and so on.

You can attend classes at the study centre, and before the exams, the study centre sends all of your information to the regional centre, such as your attendance, assignment submission, and so on. The regional centre then combines all of this information with your term-end exam results to produce a final result.

Why is the syllabus of CUSAT University considered to be the most rigorous compared to other universities in Kerala?

SG
Satadru Ghosh Posted On : July 22nd, 2021
Studied at Cochin University (2019)

CUSAT is one of the known Universities in Kochi and known for its culture for its strict curriculum and fests and clubs.

Now as you asked for the syllabus particularly, it is much vast and it digs deep into the topic. As per the students here, you have to study more for any topic when compared with other universities.

  • The evaluation process is very strict. You will be required to score at least 45 marks to pass out of 100.
  • Because of this rigorous process, a degree from CUSAT is regarded as more valuable than a degree from other universities.
  • CUSAT cannot be compared with the other universities as it is a scientific University and various researches are going on.

As a national University, it has to keep itself with the level of IITs and NITs. Though, the syllabus is wide in Engineering and evaluation is strict and careless, so marks are hard to come by.
