What is the percentage of student passes after revaluation in VTU?
I have a few friends from VTU, and according to their experience, very few people pass after revaluation. It completely depends on the person that will correct your answer script.
I know people who needed 5 marks to pass but didn’t get it. I also know people who needed more than 10 marks and eventually got it. So, it’s better to apply for revelation irrespective of how many marks you need.
What would be the rank of BITS Pilani Goa campus and BITS Pilani Hyderabad campus if they were ranked separately?
I don’t believe that all BITS Pilani campuses are equally ranked. They certainly have a few similarities such as the curriculum and policies but apart from that the campuses have many major differences. Here are a few components based on which I have ranked BITS Pilani campuses
- Placements: Placement-wise the ranking of BITS campuses is Pilani>Go>Hyderabad. BITS Pilani has the best companies and packages followed by Goa. Hyderabad has a relatively lesser number of companies and the pay is also less.
- Practice School: Under this program, students go through a six-month internship in many great companies like Amazon, Apple, Goldman Sachs, Flipkart, Nomura, etc., and there are hundreds of companies to choose from. The only difference in the campuses is that you can make it to the top companies by scoring a 9-pointer at the Pilani campus while a 7-pointer at the Hyderabad campus. This is mainly because Hyderabad students are made to do summer term courses to get a few extra points during the allotment process.
- Campus life: The Pilani campus is remotely located and the students love a challenging life here. But all the harshness of the campus makes them grow as a person. Goa and Hyderabad campuses enjoy prime locations and facilities thereby offering a different type of development. However, the Pilani students are more open-minded, flexible, and hardworking than students from other campuses.
- Education: Sadly, the quality of education is deteriorating in all the BITS campuses. The faculty pool is pathetic and the mean grade is deflating day by day.
So, research well, talk to alumni of all the campuses, and then make a well-informed decision.

How is NIT Rourkela for an M.Tech?
NIT Rourkela is a premier engineering and technology institute in India that enjoys a strong reputation for its M.Tech program. The program is well-structured, with a focus on both theoretical and practical aspects of engineering and technology. Here are a few pros and cons of pursuing an MTech from NIT Rourkela
Pros
- Excellent hostel facilities wherein students are allotted double occupancy rooms in the first year and single occupancy rooms from the second year.

Overall, NIT Rourkela is considered to be a great choice for an M.Tech education.
Which one should I choose: IIT Jodhpur, IIT Ropar CSE or IIT BHU Electrical?
All three of the Indian Institutes of Technology you mentioned are well-respected institutions with strong programs in engineering.
All the aforementioned institutes are at similar levels and will give you the IIT tag. So the final decision depends on your priorities more than anything.
- If you value the branch more than the college then the preference order should be IITRPR>IITJ>IITBHU
- If you value the brand name of the college more than the branch then the preference order would be IIT BHU>IITRPR>IITJ
Without any doubt, IIT BHU is older and has a stronger brand value but it depends on which branch you will be getting. Ultimately, the best decision will depend on your personal preferences and goals.
Being a non-maths student, would I be able to cope with an IPM at IIM, Indore?
One of my cousins is a part of the institute, and since he belongs from a non-maths background, he was able to elaborate on the situation. Here is what he had to say.
The journey can undeniably be difficult for non-Math students but it is not impossible. There are other students, alongside my cousin, who is in the same situation but are still managing to do good as other students with a Maths background. They are securing more than average in most quantitative subjects.
You will need to put in extra effort to do well in quantitative subjects. But you can as well as any student from a Math background if you are willing to work hard.
Thus, it depends upon how you choose to prepare and strategize.
Is environmental geotechnology (civil) branch for M.Tech at NIT Calicut good enough?
The M.Tech program of Environmental Geotechnology at NIT Calicut is an interdisciplinary branch.
In the first semester, you will be taught about Geotechnological Engineering and in the second semester, you will learn about subjects that are in Environmental Engineering such as Groundwater Hydrology.
All in all, this course is more towards the Geotechnical side than the Environmental side. You also have to undertake projects. Usually, most people opt for Geotechnical projects.
Talking about the prospects of the future, L&T has been the only recruiters for some years now they recruited very few students pursuing postgraduate.
If you want to teach this course in the future, then pursuing it will be a good idea. It is definitely a good course but not the best. Join if you are interested in the course and not for the NIT tag.
What was ragging like at BITS Pilani when you joined the college for a bachelor's?
Although this perception exists among many students, this is not true. Also, at BITS everyone has to sign and submit an affidavit as per the UGC guidelines that he/she won't get involved in such activities. However, the best real-life experience can be described by someone who has studied there.
My cousin who is currently doing his Ph.D. from BITS is about to complete his 7 years on the campus, and here are his experiences regarding ragging.
- Seniors interact with their juniors in a very healthy manner.
- You will be having both formal and informal interactions with seniors. They introduce you to the BITS culture and you can ask any type of question without any hesitation.
- As you will be joining various clubs from the first semester onwards, you have to adjust to new people and maintain interaction.
- Although some seniors might ask you to introduce yourself with every sentence ending with Sir or Madam or sing a song, it doesn’t get to the extent of “ragging”. Rather, it paves a way for friendly interaction for the next 4-5 years of journey at BITS.
Overall, you won’t live with a fear or sadness of staying far away from family as you will be welcomed with so much love from the seniors. Even in the current situation, there are no instances of ragging because every student has the right to complain to SWD. Moreover, no one hardly gets time for ragging at BITS Pilani.
Is joining UIET Chandigarh (ECE) worth it?
Most colleges in India, even the top ones, usually fail to provide good placement opportunities for core branches like Electronics Engineering. The majority of the ECE students find their own way to get into consultancies, IT MNCs, or startups, some also choose to prepare for examinations like GATE and CAT.
UIET provides a good environment for the preparation of competitive examinations. Also, at least 50% of students of core branches in UIET prepare for GATE, CAT, or GRE. If you are expecting placement in one of the core branches, then don't join ECE in UIET rather take branches like CSE and IT.
If you are hardworking and want to prepare for GATE/CAT/GRE/ESE/UPSC then you can join UIET. Chandigarh has many good coaching centers for the preparation of these examinations.
How will be my daughter's life at AFMC Pune?
To start, girls are very safe at AFMC Pune. The administration is very supportive of females. Here are a few things your daughter can expect from AFMC-
- AFMC Pune allows mobile phones, and the students are provided with a sim of Maharashtra. You can call your daughter anytime you want, and vice versa.
- She’ll get a vacation twice a year, for 15 days each time. But she’ll love AFMC so much that even these 15 days will seem like a lot.

- The uniform consists of a shirt, tie, and trousers of light brown color. She will get two sets of it, along with one full-sleeve set, a blazer, and a sweater. The laundry person visits twice a week to wash and iron the uniform.
- She’ll get a lot of voluntary tours and outings. There are events around Pune about twice every week, and she can attend independently or on behalf of the college. After the first 6 months, she can go for outings by herself, without any restrictions.
- With a good NEET score and a command of Maths and English, she’ll get into AFMC. But the interview matters the most. If she is confident and expressive, the interview will go well too. As far as medical is concerned, she shouldn't be obese or suffering from a serious medical abnormality.
- Morning PT stops after the third term (1.5 years). NCC drill also continues for the same time. PT will make her active and inculcate the habit of waking up early.
It is great that your daughter plans to join AFMC. She will love her journey throughout.
