Should I change to a Delhi School for DTU or NSIT?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : July 4th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Yes, you should certainly consider changing to a Delhi School for DTU or NSIT. Like every state Delhi too has institutions where there is a reservation for Delhites. DTU and NSIT are among the top engineering colleges and the fact that both of them are situated in Delhi gives immense opportunities to the residents. 

Both DTU and NEIT are under the purview of the Government of National Capital Territory(NCT) of Delhi so they have an 85% reservation for students who do their schooling from Delhi.

So if you are a Delhite you have to compete with 85% of the batch which is easier than competing against 15% seats for remaining states. Here, you can get CS even with an average rank if you are a Delhite but it may be impossible if you are from another state. So yes, shift to Delhi and avail a plethora of opportunities!

What is the scope after Statistics Honors in DU?

AT
Anushka Tiwari Posted On : October 7th, 2022
Studied Economics (Hons.) at University of Delhi

Analytics firms are particularly interested in statistics graduates. Examples include MU Sigma, Fractal Analytics, EXL, and others. However, many employers will expect you to have a Master's degree in the subject as well. You would have a distinct advantage over the majority of engineers available to analytics firms because they will not be as familiar with statistical models and techniques.

For a Master's degree, you should specifically seek one from the ISI (Indian Statistical Institute) in Delhi/Kolkata, which is an incredible research institute as well as an Institute of National Importance, similar to the IITs and NITs. Excellent faculty members teach at ISI and provide you with a highly competitive peer group.

If you want to do an MBA to work in the private sector, the IIMs would love to have you if you have a good academic record because you'll bring much needed diversity to the engineering school crowd. A background in statistics may also help you stand out in front of recruiters.

Finally, if you obtain an M.Stat degree, you will be eligible for a career in the Indian Statistical Services, whose exam is held annually by UPSC.

At DU, you must get at least 70% and assimilate any theories you learn so that you can apply them to real-world problems. This will benefit you in the long run because you will be more likely to enjoy the subject and express enthusiasm when discussing it in interviews or when writing SOPs.

If you are a management aspirant and looking for options to pursue your MBA, then the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Rohtak is an institute worth considering. Here are some of the reasons why choosing IIM Rohtak can be a wise decision for you:

  • Years of Existence: IIM Rohtak is one of the oldest IIMs in the second generation of IIMs (New IIMs). The institute has been functioning since 2009 and has been able to establish itself as one of the leading management institutes in the country.
  • Campus: IIM Rohtak is currently operating from a temporary campus, but a new and state-of-the-art campus is under construction, which will be installed soon. This new campus will provide you with better infrastructure and learning opportunities.

Is IIM Rohtak going to start a 5-year IPM course?

MB
Mridula Banerjee Posted On : August 2nd, 2021
IIM Bangalore (2018)

IIM Rohtak has already started a 5-year Integrated Program in Management (IPM) in 2019. It is similar to the IPM program started by IIM Indore earlier.

There are some minor differences between the two as well such as the minimum percentage required by the student to be eligible for admission in the course. IIM Rohtak has mandated that a student should secure at least 75% in both 10th and 12th to be eligible to apply for this course.

The number of seats offered by the institute is 160. Undergraduate education in management is not very well promoted in India and hopefully, with IIM Indore, IIM Rohtak, and many more to possibly follow suit, the undergraduate management education will also receive the same glory as MBAs.

Can I get into Amrita University Coimbatore for CSE with a rank at 12,000?

PM
Prakriti Mandal Posted On : June 22nd, 2021
Studied at Amrita University (2019)

Starting off first, let me congratulate you as you have attempted the Amrita University Entrance exam.

Coming to your rank, let me assure you that 12000 is not a bad rank at all. Many students who have scored a rank of 20000 to 30000 also have qualified for admission at Amrita University.

There are other additional factors that also come into play. Your admission depends upon which state you are from as well. This could be Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu or Kerala.

The college has certain cutoffs that have been set for each state. You can also get in touch with the college for information on this but they might ask you to pay up.

However, if you are considering enrolling here for CSE, most of these seats get filled up at 6000 rankings, even in-state quota sometimes. So for 12000, you can consider going for branches like Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, E&I as well as Aero. These are definitely available under the state quota.

What are the things to pack for staying in nit trichy hostel?

NK
Nidhi Kudva Posted On : September 2nd, 2021
B.Tech Production, National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India (2018)

My brother stayed in the hostels at NIT Trichy for 4 years. As per his experience, the weather is mostly hot with heavy rainfall during certain seasons.

  • The factor of adaptability is the first thing you will be required here. 
  • Be prepared for waiting in a queue for a shower. You will be facing situations where you have to be very punctual.
  • Hot water would also not be available during the winter season. 
  • There are numerous shops available on campus where you can purchase items for daily necessities.
  • Few things that you can pack for your hostel at NIT Trichy include: Bedsheets, Pillow covers, Towels and Clothes.
  • If you are cautious about your skin, then I would suggest that you pack a sunscreen lotion as you can get sunburns at the hostel. 
  • You can pack a pair of formal shirts and pants for formal occasions. Although, for classes, it is not mandatory to wear something formal.
  • Additionally, you can carry along a kettle with you if you like eating Maggi or late-night snacks. 

So, if all these factors do not appear to be an issue for you, then your experience surely would be fine. You don't need to be concerned.

I have converted to IIM Kashipur but already paid 1 term fee at IIM Sambalpur (no refund). What should I do?

RS
Rithvik Singh Posted On : February 10th, 2023
Management Consultant at KPMG India

When considering whether or not to pay around 170K for the first term at IIM Sambalpur, it is important to consider the potential financial loss and weigh it against the potential benefits.

In terms of placements, it is true that IIM Kashipur may have an upper edge, however, it is important to note that this difference will likely only make a significant impact on the top 10% of the batch. For the majority of students, the placements at both IIM Sambalpur and IIM Kashipur will likely be similar. Additionally, when considering future entitlements, it is important to remember that both IIM Kashipur and IIM Sambalpur are relatively new institutes, so the location may not hold as much value in the long term as building a strong personal profile.

It is ultimately up to you to decide whether or not you are willing to potentially lose the money, and if so, to not stress about it too much. On the other hand, if you are not willing to potentially lose the money, it is also important not to regret the decision in the long run.
