Getting selected for the summer internship program at IIT Roorkee is based on luck, hard work, and good communication skills. You need to fill out the form a year before October.
- The first step is to contact the professors under which you will begin doing your internship. Their personal information is available in the Faculty profiles option on the website. It’s better to contact the new professors to increase the chances of the internship.

How do I convert my percentage into CGPA under RGPV University?
Different universities use various conversion methods and grading systems.
In the case of RGPV, the conversion base is 10. If you receive 78% or 78 marks out of 100, your SGPA/CGPA is 7.8 out of 10 according to RGPV. To convert it to Grade Point Average, simply divide the number by ten. Thus, by multiplying by 10, the reversal equivalent percentage can be calculated.
Equivalent Percentage = (SGPA/CGPA) × 10
If you turn over your RGPV Semester Marksheet, you will see a conversion Formula to convert your CGPA/SGPA into the equivalent percentage required in a few exam forms that must be submitted during application time.
If you require an RGPV equivalent percentage conversion form, simply provide a Xerox copy of the back side of your semester mark sheet. There is no need for a complex format or the signature and seal of the university/college head.
The method for calculating SGPA and CGPA is also provided on the back page of the semester mark sheets.
How is SHUATS in Allahabad?
I have a few friends from SHUATS and they didn’t have good experiences at the institute. Here are some of the things that they complained about.
- The faculty based at the institute is not great. Before the examination students receive some assignments, and most questions in the exam come from those assignments.
- The peer group at the institute is not good. You won’t experience much competition.
- You can only expect a degree from the institute. You will not receive any placement opportunities.
So, don’t choose SHUATS, if you have other options.
Is NIT Surathkal IT good?
My brother has graduated from NIT Surathkal in 2018 and completed his BTech in Information Technology. According to his experience, the department had helpful and brilliant students, although the faculty was a mixture of average and good professors. The CSE and IT departments are the most sought after and have an average placement rate of 90%-100%, so here are some more facts regarding the same-
- The faculty is not that good due to two factors, firstly because it is not as dedicated to research as are those in IITs. For instance, IIT Bombay is excellent in research initiatives.
- Secondly, the department requires 15-20 full-time faculty members, but currently, there are about 10-12 assistant professors on an ad-hoc basis, some of them do not even possess a Ph.D.
- Lastly, the teachers are not very adept at communicating better. Some seniors had been much more helpful in the understanding of concepts by students.
- However, the department is free of petty politics unlike the CSE department, where there's a bit of tiff between the teachers and students.
The following table shows the placement data for IT at NIT Surathkal-

The good point about the IT Department is that it has an excellent placement rate only second to CSE. Scoring good marks also is not an issue if you're able to rote learn for subjects like Data Structures, also if it could be taught using Introduction to Algorithms, then it'll be easy for students.
Is LNCT Bhopal good for mechanical placement?
I have a few friends from LNCT Bhopal and according to their experience, the Mechanical department doesn’t have a good placement record.
- Very few core companies visit the campus to recruit Mechanical Engineering students. Also, the number of vacancies for such companies is less. VOITH, AIS Glass, Triveni Turbines are some of the core recruiting companies for Mechanical Engineering.
- Other than the core companies you can also sit for IT companies or marketing companies.
Overall the placements of the institute are quite good, despite few underperforming branches. LNCT has good placement records for departments like IT, CSE, and ECE, alongside a placement percentage sloping far ahead to at least 95%. In the recent placement drive, the average and highest CTC offered was 3 LPA and 21 LPA.
Are there any freshers in IIM Ahmedabad from colleges other than IITs, NITs and BITS?
Yes, there are lots of freshers in IIM Ahmedabad who are not IIT, NIT, or BITS alumni. It’s not a matter of concern if you don’t belong to any of these. As IIM Ahmedabad looks for consistent academic performance rather than the brand name. If you take a look at the IIM Ahmedabad batch profile of 2017-19, you will see that students from IITs take up 36% and students from NIT+BITS take up 13%. The rest of the batch is from other colleges.
Since the majority of the batch was freshers (39%), you will find many students from tier 2 colleges.
What are your experiences at NIT Silchar ?
NIT Silchar has a competitive peer group, which is a major factor in your growth as an individual. It consists of brilliant minds, sports enthusiasts, and aspirant students. Another attractive part of the college is that they give equal importance to the extracurricular activities along with the studies, which is evident from the presence of numerous clubs and societies on campus. Second-year and third-year students usually get placed in core companies with decent salary packages every year.
Overall, NIT Silchar will gift you a mind-blowing experience that will enhance both your growth and career.
How is life at NIT Silchar?
At NIT Silchar, classes begin at around 8 am. Everyone rushes off to attend their lectures, mostly on an empty stomach. At 12 noon, everyone gets a break from classes and has lunch. This is followed by lab or afternoon classes on some days and free time on some others. Afternoon sessions are held till 5 in the evening. After 5, some people go for club meetings, some hit the gym, some play their favorite sports, and others spend time with their friends. This goes on till 7-7:30 pm. Sometimes, workshops and practical lab sessions take up most of the evening.
After that, it's time to go back to hostels, get some work done, take a bath and eat by 9 pm. Football fans like to watch games on the common room TV and gamers are on their screens till 12-1 am. Midnights are meant for birthday gatherings. This hostel schedule is for boys, it may differ for girl students.
NIT Silchar has been a great experience for me, despite coming from a totally different cultural setup. You’ll find people from all over India over there. You should go to Indie Lake with friends in the evening. The campus is really big and there’s a lot to explore. The tech fest Tecnoesis and cultural-fest Incandescence are much awaited. Although NIT Silchar has undergone a lot of improvement, frequent power cuts, uncertain weather, and forest-like fields surrounding the campus may irritate you sometimes.
Regardless of a few shortcomings, you will have plenty of fun with your friends during your time at NIT Silchar. Apart from studies, you’ll be introduced to night outs, college fests, and basically finding joy in the most random things. This place will teach you not just academics but also some valuable life lessons.
Are exams at IIT Bombay tough?
Yes, exams conducted at IIT Bombay are quite tough given the competition at the institute. The exams usually test your understanding capabilities and not your learning capabilities.
I did one subject which was very difficult and involved a project demonstration in the end. But the professors teach the topics so well that you hardly have to mug up the concepts.
Once the exams were conducted in a unique manner wherein,
- The students were allowed to open books as they were not able to solve the paper
- The students requested the professor to extend the duration from 3 hrs to 5 hrs after which the students still could not finish the paper.
- The students were then asked to take the paper home and were given 7 days to prepare for the presentation on the same.
The game changed its course and because marks were not to be allotted on the basis of the presentation everyone prepared the concepts well and attended the open contest.
Did anyone change their IIM interview date? If yes, what reason did you give?
You can get the date of the IIM interview changed. You just need to mail the Admission Office of the University requesting the rescheduling by giving a genuine reason behind the same. You have to be honest and polite yet straightforward.
There are lots of people who request a change of interview date because of clashing schedules or another major exam on the same date. The reason must be valid otherwise your request will not be considered.
