Which college is better for an MBBS: the MAMC or VMMC?
Usually MAMC is the first choice of aspirants. But, a good number of students choose VMMC over MAMC despite getting really high ranks, and having a Delhi state quota. The reasons for this decision are-
- VMMC is much newer than MAMC, UCMS and LHMC. Thus, it offers a modern and fully air-conditioned infrastructure.
- Workload for the first 1-2 years is much lighter.
- There are only semester-end exams. Despite this, the education quality is top notch.
- VMMC offers the benefits of an internal PG quota.
- The batch strength is smaller. This facilitates better interaction with peers and professors.
- Safdarjung Hospital has the largest OPD in Asia with a dedicated Specialized Burns Unit. So you’ll get more opportunities to learn during postings and internship. There is an entirely separate Sports Injury Centre as well.
- The hostels are air conditioned, and the girls' hostel has no curfew. The library reading room remains open 24*7.
- VMMC is located in the heart of South Delhi. The best hangout spots like HKV, Dilli Haat, Promenade are all located at a close distance. SN market and South Ex are just 5 minute drive away.
Thus, I would recommend you choose VMMC for your MBBS degree.
What is it like to study at NIT Srinagar as a non-kashmiri student?
As a non-Kashmiri student, you’ll deal with some tough times at NIT Srinagar.
NIT Srinagar is located in Hazratbal near Dargah. Despite this, it constantly witnesses strikes and curfews. So, you’ll get much more holidays than any other engineering college. This is a huge blow to academics. Traveling to and from home becomes difficult due to frequent curfews.
Kashmiri students are polite and calm in nature. But they maintain a safe distance from non-Kashmiris at NIT Srinagar. They don’t socialize or hangout with others. The localities are polite but they also hesitate in mingling with outsiders.
The Assistant professors and contractual teachers aren’t qualified enough to solve student doubts. On the other hand, the professors show a lack of interest in teaching. The teachers are more generous while marking Kashmiri students, providing them with better CGPAs.
Dramas, skits, debates, etc. are discouraged. The college lacks clubs and cultural fests. Playing cricket unites all the students.The techfest of NIT Srinagar, Techvaganza, is quite good. It offers good seminars and workshops.
Despite its associated negatives, NIT Srinagar offers one of the most beautiful college campuses in India. Here you will have ample time to work on your skills. You can visit beautiful places on weekends like Gulmarg, Sonmarg, Pahalgham, Shikara and even Ladakh.
Though NIT Srinagar is challenging for non Kashmiris, it will offer you a completely different perspective on life.
Which is better, VIT Vellore, Thapar Patiala or SRM?
Although all three of these colleges are well-renowned for their engineering courses, there are certain factors that particularly interested me to opt for VIT Vellore. I am currently pursuing B.Tech CSE at VIT.
- VIT Vellore ranks excellently in the NIRF Engineering rankings, even better than the other two colleges mentioned by you. In the 2023 NIRF engineering rankings, VIT Vellore ranked 11th.
- VIT Vellore is located near Chennai and Bangalore. This allows the students of VIT to gain the much needed exposure which allows them to grab good career opportunities after their graduation.
- Academically, both VIT and Thapar are equally placed. VIT offers good academic opportunities, but the North Indian might face some cultural shock.
- In terms of faculty, Thapar has an advantage. But even VIT has some really good teachers.
These factors made me interested in joining VIT Vellore. I would suggest you consider VIT for your BTech as it offers good infrastructure and ample opportunities.
How do you rate IIML compared with the IIMs at ABC? Is IIM Lucknow as good as the top IIMs at ABC?
IIM Lucknow is a renowned business school. It has been around for quite a while now, so it has a strong alumni network and good placements.
Here are a few parameters to assess IIM Lucknow and compare it to IIM A,B,C-
- Brand- IIM A,B,C are the most renowned IIMs. But others like Lucknow are also quite reputable. The ‘IIM’ tag in itself holds a lot of prestige.
- Recruiters- A handful of top recruiters visit only IIM A,B,C and leave the other top business schools. But the majority of such companies are investment banks who seek employees in the finance sector.
- Peer group- Top achievers go to IIM A,B,C. However, it is unfair to neglect those who were of great caliber but fell short by a few points.
- Faculty- Teachers from IIM A,B,C come to IIM Lucknow from time to time as visiting faculty.
IIM A,B,C will probably give you a better start, but your passion and dedication will ultimately lead you towards a successful career in corporate.
What is your opinion on JNTUH corrections? Is it genuine? Can one assess themselves with JNTUH percentage? Can you share your experiences?
The correction staff of JNTU Hyderabad is very careless and has ruined the lives of many ambitious students. One of my friends shared his experiences of studying there. He was very adamant about getting good scores and studying hard in the first year. Despite that, he scored average marks around 68%. In fact, everyone around him got similar marks. Many got demotivated, and many even left while some decided to attempt exams without any preparations and surprisingly got similar results.
Despite it all, he decided to give himself a second chance and studied more rigorously in the second year but the results were similar. This destroyed his ambitions and dreams so he finally gave up in the 3rd and 4th year and decided to enjoy his college life instead.
He later realized that students who were deliberately marked failed to earn more exam fees which in turn was used in improving the infrastructure. This tactic ruined so many lives and it became very challenging to get an interview call from an MNC due to poor scores.
I hope this situation is taken care of as soon as possible so that the lives and dreams of students can be saved!

Is it good to study M.Tech in data analytics from Bits, Pilani Wilp manner, as executive manner?
Doing M.Tech in data analytics from BITS Pilani, WILP manner is not a good option.
Unless your M.Tech is full-time, the industry will not give it any importance. It wouldn’t matter even if you ace your degree.
If you can afford it, pursue a degree on-campus and full-time. Unless you have adequate experience to back it up, an online degree is not considered as good as a full-time degree.
If you wish to continue in academia, WILP or executive courses are especially not recommended.WILP courses are designed for individuals to learn and work simultaneously. However, it is much better to pursue a full-time course, even in BITS Pilani.
