Should I drop one year to prepare for the DU JAT? I am studying biochemistry from SVC and the schedule is very hectic moreover Im not getting a sufficient time for my preparation.
One thing you should know before making any decision is to identify your career goal. If management is your choice, opt for it. You can continue the same because DU JAT requires a dedicated preparation for 3 months maximum.
It is suggested that you can keep yourself aware of current affairs, start reading newspapers for vocabulary enhancement, interact more on social media regarding DU JAT and analyze the previous year's trends.
Try doing your biochemistry studies as well as the preparation of DU JAT side by side for at least one hour daily. It is definitely a hectic process but it ultimately pays off.
I'm studying aerospace engineering from IIEST Shibpur. What should I do to join ISRO? It is the only dream I have.
It is seen that usually, the exam conducted by ISRO, that is ICRB, takes students from the different branches of engineering that include electrical, electronics, and mechanical sections. So the exam syllabus is mostly based on these branches only.
- The students pursuing aerospace engineering, mechatronics, aeronautical engineering, metallurgy, and related fields can apply for the scientist under the mechanical branch as on lower level mechanical engineers are sufficient to work in the related fields as well.
- Since you can apply but most of the paper will be based on a mechanical portion only that would be a kind of drawback for you.
- Also, there are other vacancies in ISRO for which you can apply but those vacancies usually demand higher degrees, including M.Tech and Ph.D. in the aerospace field.
Lastly, we can conclude that you have two options if you dream to work in ISRO. Firstly you can apply for a mechanical branch while filling an application for the exam or you can pursue higher studies and then apply for the vacancies in ISRO. This approach can help you immensely in turning your dream into reality.
Is it okay if you apply for both graduation and post graduation transcripts from same account of PTU?

What should I take a CSE at IIITD or a CSE at IIT Ropar or IIT Dhanbad?
IIT institutions will always have a better tag in terms of reputation and value of degree when it comes to choosing between any other universities. Although IIT Patna and IIT Dhanbad are fairly new branches of IIT, the services and quality of education is rapidly improving and has become almost equivalent to some of the old IIT institutes.
Faculty at IIITD is much better than the IITs but one of my friends opted for IIT Patna seeing the ‘IIT’ tag. The CSE branch is constantly improving every year and choosing an IIT campus will ensure a diverse, highly academic and comparatively better peer group to be part of.
The table below shows a brief overview of the institutes:

Which is better RGIPT or IIT-BHU or IIPE?
RGIPT, IIT BHU, and IIPE, all three are reputed national-level colleges. Choosing among these three, depends on the course you are interested in. Selecting the right branch is more important than brand recognition of the college. So, don’t choose IIT BHU, only because of the IIT tag. It’s true that the IIT tag offers certain advantages. But for job opportunities, your branch will matter more.
- If you are getting Ceramics or Pharmaceutical at IIT BHU and Petroleum Engineering at RGIPT, then go for RGIPT. The Petroleum and Chemical branch of RGIPT offers more placement opportunities and exposure.
- If you are interested in other core branches then IIT BHU is a better option.
- Now, between RGIPT and IIPE, the former is the better choice for Petroleum Engineering. The course curriculum for the branch is similar but you will get better alumni support at RGIPT.
- For Chemical Engineering, IIPE has a better course structure. Also, IIPE has a huge locational advantage. HPCL’s refinery is located in Visakhapatnam. The institute is only a few hours away from Kakinada, which has a huge potential of producing Methane Hydrates.
