How is DoMS, IIT Madras for an MBA?
If you have other options like older IIMs or private B Schools such as MDI or SP Jain, I would recommend you to go for them instead of DoMS, IIT Madras. I am not saying MBA from DoMS is a bad idea, it’s just that B Schools are best for MBA.
MBA program offered at DoMS IIT Madras has the following pros and cons
Pros
- Excellent ROI
- Small size, hence less competition during placements
- 100% placements
- Average salary was recorded at INR 16.66 LPA which is similar to that of many private B Schools
- IIT Madras campus offers the most dynamic campus life one could ask for providing great exposure
- IIT Madras has a great student exchange program and also pays the expenses unlike other B Schools
- You get to work with Engineering students on projects or startup incubators thus broadening the experience
Cons
- IIT Madras has a quarter semester for the MBA instead of the usual trimester which sometimes becomes very hectic.
- Being a technical Institute, its MBA program has less value than other courses offered at the Institute
Overall, DoMS offers the best experience and the MBA is a good choice considering the ROI, campus life, and exposure provided by IIT Madras.
Is Christ University, Bangalore or XIME Bangalore better?
Every college has its own set of pros and cons. Both Christ University and XIME are well-known reputed institutions. It depends on the course that you aim to pursue to compare which is better. When it comes to campus life, Christ is the winner. The beautiful green campus with acres of active campus life of the students being involved in multiple extracurricular activities, seminars and workshops is what attracts the students. However, the fee structure of Christ is a bit higher as compared to XIME. Both colleges are known to provide good placement to their students and are visited by top recruiters. However, it again depends on your course of preference. Go through the websites of both colleges and talk to seniors who can guide you with some other queries which you may have.
How do I prepare for English and logical reasoning on the BITSAT?
The preparation of BITSAT includes so many areas, English and Logical reasoning being an important part of it. Like other students applying for BITSAT, my knowledge is also limited to my experience, gathered from others. Mostly our preparation depends on solving previous year’s question papers and watching tutorials. There are a number of books you can follow as well. Analyze your strong area and try solving the answers in a limited time. This will lessen your burden in the examination hall.
- BITSAT will test your English Grammar, Verbal Reasoning, Quiz solving ability, Synonyms & Antonyms, Sentence Formation, idioms & Phrases, etc. so you need to prepare yourself accordingly.
- While solving the previous year’s question papers, analyze in which area you can score more without consuming less time. Prepare yourself accordingly. Doing a SWOT analysis of each paper will help you identify your strengths and weaknesses in each topic.
- For reference, you can go for books like English Proficiency and Logical Reasoning by Disha Publications and Logical Reasoning by author Edgar Thorpe and others. These books will definitely help you understand the basics and prepare you for all questions, related to the same.
- You can also practice and read Latest Editions of Top English Newspapers like Times of India, The Hindu, etc. to prepare yourself for Verbal and Non Verbal Reasoning. In case your primary education was from an english medium school, then practicing it will be easier and not at all time consuming.
- Work on your speed of solving questions correctly. Solving at least 5-10 question papers in a limited time will definitely help you score better marks in the exam.
- As far as Logical Reasoning is concerned, nobody can predict this. Practicing ony can help you crack this section successfully. Double your speed and try to solve 2 questions in place of one in a set period of time.
The above tips will definitely help you prepare for english & logical reasoning for BITSAT, but keep in mind that there are other sections as well. So divide your practice time accordingly and dedicate sufficient time to all other sections as well.

When and how to apply for a winter internship at the IIT IISC and IISER?
If you haven’t already worked with a research group or under a professor during your summertime, IISc would be a little difficult for you.
There are a lot of professors and postdoctoral fellows who are enrolled in a subdiscipline at IISc. So any kind of internship will give you a little edge over others to be selected for winter internship.
If you are a scholar at KVPY or INSPIRE or NIUS, you might have better chances but the statement of purpose matters as well. Usually, you will have to send a mail with your CV and the statement of purpose along with a list of courses that you have completed to any of the professors who are related to that sub-discipline. You must also remember to apply early in September and if it is feasible for you, you must decide on a topic, duration, accommodation before October.
IISER - For IISERs, it would be advisable to go for Mohali or Bhopal. The application process is quite similar. September end to October is considered to be the best time to decide on a date and duration.
IITs - a few of them conduct sponsored winter programs but there is no logic in going to an IIT to study theoretical mathematics. You can rather go to Kanpur and Powai and the application procedure for both of them is the same as above.
If you wish to pursue cryptology, cryptanalysis, economical models, number theory, ISI and CMI would be considered better when it comes to exposure and experience. For complex analysis, and astrostatistics, you can go to IMSc, ISI, IISc, and CMI. You can opt for mathematical biology at IISERs and IISc.
What bond does a student have to sign to get into AFMC Pune?
To get into AFMC Pune, one must sign either of these bonds
- SSC : The SSC or the short service commission is for a duration of 7 years and you will have to pay a penalty of around INR 28 Lakhs if you break the bond or quit. If you opt for this bond, you can apply for PG only after you complete 7 years. However, you can do your DNB after 4 years.
- PC : The PC or the permanent commission requires you to serve in the armed forces till you retire, that is for 20 years. If you opt for this bond in the armed forces after completing your MBBS, you can do your PG after 4 years.
Hope this helps you!

Which college is better for a BTech, DTU or BITS Pilani?
BITS Pilani is a much better option to pursue BTech than DTU. Here are a few aspects I have considered before arriving at this conclusion
- Placements: The best part about BITS Pilani placements is that students of all branches are allowed to sit for all companies. In DTU however, mostly CSE students are allowed followed by ECE, ME, and other branches.
- Batch size: The huge batch size of DTU results in immense competition during placements as companies only hire a fixed number of students from here while there is no such limitation on hiring the number of graduates from BITS.
- Package: Some companies offer different packages to BITS and DTU students. For instance, Goldman Sachs offered INR 32 LPA in BITS but only INR 23 LPA in NITs, DTU, and NSIT.
- Recruiters: All DTU recruiters visit BITS but not vice versa. Top companies like Apple, and Cisco only visit BITS.
- Internship: BITS provides an internship for 6 months while DRU provides an internship for 2 months only so the exposure and experience gained are limited.
- Hostel: BITS Pilani has excellent accommodation facilities whereas DTU has no accommodation facilities for Delhi residents.
- Entrepreneurship: BITS has a better startup culture than DTU.
- Freedom: The zero attendance policy at BITS is what attracts the majority of students here as they are instilled with a sense of freedom in their academic routine.
Considering the above factors it’s safe to say that BITS Pilani is a more lucrative option than DTU for BTech.
How was your first day at IIT Delhi?
Every IITian’s first day is a memory that stays with them forever, and is permanently ingrained, and so was my friend's first day at IIT Delhi.
At around 11 in the morning, students were escorted to Dogra Hall, wherein an orientation session was conducted by the IIT Delhi director who briefed us about the institute administration and clarified basic doubts. The students were impressed by his speech and the two points that resonated the most with my friend were
- Students of IIT Delhi should target job creation and not job seeking.
- Despite a well-structured academic curriculum and research culture, why hasn’t IIT Delhi still been able to make it into the hundred top institutes globally?
The orientation was followed by a tea session of 15 minutes at the LHC lobby. Students were escorted to department-wise orientation sessions that were addressed by the respective departmental heads. Once the orientation sessions concluded, students were asked to go back to the hostels, their new home for 4 years.
A few formalities have to be dealt with related to the hostel BSW volunteers and how secretaries will always be at your disposal assisting you in every possible way. After lunch, she interacted with a few of her wingmates.
The first day at IIT Delhi will surely leave a long-lasting impression on you and will be filled with exciting memories and discoveries.
