Which is the best hostel in IIT Bombay and why?
My brother had the pleasure of staying at hostels 9, 16, and now 13 in chronological order. However, he claimed not one hostel had the complete facilities one expects in a hostel. I have described each hostel in a few pointers
Hostel 9
- Extremely small room difficult for even 2 people to share
- The best food in the entire institute is served in this hostel
- It has many facilities like a pool, a small footer field, basketball court, table tennis and makes your leisure time great
Hostel 16
- This hostel has some of the best rooms in the entire institute. The rooms are double occupancy but can easily be shared by more people.
- If you are lucky enough to be allotted the 6th floor or above, you can get a spectacular view of Hiranandani.
- The food is not very good
Hostel 13
- The room is usually for PG or DD students
- The rooms are single occupancy and are decked with decent facilities
- The food in the Mess is neither too good nor too bad.
- The hostel has a wide range of extracurricular facilities. There is a TV room that can accommodate around 70–80 people.
- This hostel is most coveted because of the spectacular view of the Powai lake and the Hiranandani it offers.
How good is MICA, Ahmedabad in terms of ROI, learning experience and campus life?
Since you have specifically mentioned the aspects on which you want info, I will go straight to the point.
Learning experience: The pedagogy and curriculum are industry relevant and are updated on a yearly basis. The students are taught about Marketing from Day one covering all the arenas. It’s the relevancy and well-structured nature of the curriculum combined with excellent pedagogy that gives the students of MICA an edge over other students of B schools like IIMs during internships
The course is specially designed for Marketing enthusiasts. The students win many corporate and B-school competitions like Mahindra War Room, HUL Lime, etc. owing to the institute's specialization in Marketing. These competitions fill the gap between the theoretical and practical knowledge we gained in class.
Campus life: The MICA campus is one of the liveliest campuses across India. A student-driven committee organized fun events and kept the spirit alive on campus. We have football, cricket, Game of Thrones, and other movie screenings. Birthdays at MICA are celebrated with much fun. You will get a baggage of memories just in 2 months that will stay with you throughout your life.
ROI: MICA fees are not less given how coveted the course is. This year the fee was ?21 Lakh. The course is priced competitively but it is still not as high as the fees charged by private B Schools like NMIMS or IIMs. After interacting with a few alumni I got to know that most of them managed to repay their loans within 3-4 years. So overall the ROI is pretty good.

How are the placements for M.Tech students in civil engineering in IIT Roorkee?
It’s sad to say but MTech students do not attract very good companies for placements. The companies prefer students with experience. BTech students prepare well in advance either for MBA or coding to get placements in IT or banking companies. MTech students are not allowed to do so and thus are unable to secure good packages.
Now the question arises, what should MTech students do to guarantee a safe career? Well, I will suggest that they prepare for GATE again and clear PSU or some other Engineering service.
You can even enter Academia but the salary packages will also be average. Another option is to go for a Ph.D. but this too has no career prospects. The most guaranteed way is to clear PSU.
Are IIIT Allahabad and IIIT Delhi better than NIT K, W, T (comparing CS and IT)?
If you had specified the parameters on which you are judging the institute, it would have been easier to answer the question. In terms of quality of education, the two IIITs are better than the three NITs.
Given below is a brief comparison of the institutes based on various parameters. You can make your decision based on that.
Faculty:(IIIT Delhi > Top NITs ~ IIIT Allahabad)
IIIT Delhi has the best faculty. Even top NITs don’t come close to IIIT Delhi in terms of faculty.
Campus Life: (Top 3 NITs > IIIT Allahabad > IIIT Delhi)
The top 3 NITs offer better campus life. As compared to NITs the workload of IIIT Delhi is too much. IIIT Delhi also does not have as many clubs and societies as top NITs. NIT campuses are also bigger in comparison.
Hostels: (Winning Institute - IIIT Delhi)
- IIIT Delhi has better hostel facilities as compared to any other Govt. college or even some IITs for that matter. In summer you will get air conditioning and a heater in winter at IIIT Delhi. There are also sports facilities like Foosball and Swimming Pool, etc.
- Other facilities available at IIIT Delhi are quite similar to that of NITs and IIIT Allahabad.
Placements: (IIIT Delhi ~ Top NITs ~ IIIT Allahabad)
In terms of placements, IIIT Delhi matches the placement statistics of top NITs. A student of IIIT Delhi has recently secured a placement package of 1.45 Crore. The average package of the institute mentioned in the question is around 15-17 lakhs (for CSE).
Location: (IIIT Delhi > Top 3 NITs ~ IIIT Allahabad)
- IIIT Delhi enjoys the benefit of being situated in the capital. The city life, start-up culture, and many internship opportunities are some of the perks of attending IIIT Delhi.
- Whereas, the top 3 NITs are situated in small cities. IIIT Allahabad is also located in Prayagraj, which does not offer a good city life or enough exposure.
But whether you will like the campus or not depends on your background. If you are from South India, life in Delhi or Prayagraj may not be that appealing and vice versa.
Reputation & Alumni Base: (Top 3 NITs > IIIT Delhi > IIIT Allahabad)
- The top NITs have more recognition among the recruiting companies due to their legacy. IIIT Delhi is a fairly new establishment in comparison. Even though it is growing at a rapid pace, it is still up to the standard of the top NITs.
- The alumni base of the top 3 NITs is also better due to the same reason.
If you are genuinely interested in coding, you should choose IIIT Delhi or IIIT Allahabad. Otherwise don’t go for IIITs.
What are average placements of BHU in LLB?
Almost 30-40% of the students got placed. The highest salary package offered is 10 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered is 2 LPA. Top recruiting companies of our college are TCS, etc. Almost 50-60% of the students got an internship in firms, Sai & Associations, etc.
How has your life changed since graduating from BITS Pilani?
Here are a few changes my sister felt since she graduated from BITS Pilani
- She has got a mindset and brain superior to normal people and often finds it difficult to talk to them. So she finds it difficult to stay humble with all the knowledge she has.
- Even after leaving BITS, she hasn’t lost her passion for learning and studying. While she was working she finished 6 MOOC courses between the time she left Pilani and joined her master's program.
- She has stopped feeling insecure at all as she trusts her college and her hard work completely in shaping her career.
- She has started working on many side projects
- She gave more importance to education and attended classes regularly in her Masters
Lastly, she no more questions the credibility of BITS Pilani and its alumni.
How are roommates allotted in IIT Kanpur? Is it according to JEE ranks?
No, IIT Kanpur does not have a cruel policy of allotting roommates and rooms on the basis of JEE ranks. You cannot assign someone a room on the basis of his achievements. This is pure discrimination and this practice should be discontinued.
The only 2 institutes that follow this extreme policy are IIT and IIT BHU. The purpose of this is to ensure better living standards and ultimately better outputs from the treasures of the Institute.
In IIT Kanpur rooms and roommates are allotted randomly and you can expect almost anyone as your roommate. Your roommates play a major role in influencing your grades, examinations, and social life.
It’s good to make new friends and socialize, but remember life at IIT Kanpur is very rigorous and not a single moment should be wasted on useless activities.
Why do AIIMS Delhi students get a very short percentage in an MBBS even though they are intelligent?
AIIMS Delhi is one of the most prestigious medical schools in India and is highly coveted among medical students. It boasts an extremely rigorous curriculum and high brand value. However, only a small batch of applicants is able to pass the MBBS exam. This is because the program is highly competitive and even the most genius minds sometimes fail to clear the exam.
Intelligence alone cannot determine your success in medical school. As a medical student, you will need hard work, dedication, and also critical for success. The professor itself is very challenging and requires a great deal of dedication, commitment, and a strong desire to help others.
Do global top management consulting firms like McKinsey, BCG, Strategy& and Bain only hire from top MBA schools like IIMs, ISB, XLRI and FMS in India?
It’s true that management consulting firms are finicky about the campuses they recruit from and even in top management schools these firms only interview the top 5-10% of the students. Though companies like McKinsey, BCG, etc. recruit from premier undergraduate colleges, for MBA they only hire from top-rated B-schools.
