Is it possible to get more than 70% marks in DU SOL?

PK
Pawan Kumar Posted On : November 9th, 2022
B.A. from University of Delhi

Yes, it’s very much possible to attain more than 70% marks in DU SOL. My brother was lucky enough to score 71.1% in his second year of B.Com.(Hons). He mentioned a few simple strategies that helped him get good marks.

  1. Set your target: The very first step has to be to fix a target. In my brother's case, he set his target at 75%.

  2. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses: Focus more on the subjects you are well versed in. Compensate the marks you will lose in the subjects you are below average at with the marks you will get in subjects you are good at.

  3. Attempt the paper well: When I say attempt the paper well, I also mean make it presentable. Neat handwriting and diagrams never go unnoticed.

  4. Additional guidance: Getting tuition for subjects you are weak at is better than mugging up the concept. These classes are available near North and South Campus. 

  5. Consistency is the key: Leaving the entire syllabus for a few days before the exams is not a good option. Study regularly, even if for just a few hours. You will see amazing results.

Adopting all these strategies, my brother got 71.1%. So I don’t think it’s difficult to score above 70% in DU SOL.

Vedika Pandey Posted On : November 15th, 2022
Studied Agricultural Science & Spanish (language) at Banaras Hindu University

Banaras Hindu University is a prestigious agricultural sciences institution. The institute has made numerous contributions to Indian agriculture and has numerous scientific accomplishments. Agriculture is a vast area in India, and there is a need for major breakthroughs to increase crop production, not just rice and wheat production, and food security.

  • ICAR-JRF - If you want to pursue further education, you can take the JRF exam in the subject of your choice. IARI is a dream institution, and only the best students are admitted. Every year, many BHU students attend IARI for M.Sc Ag in various fields and other agricultural universities.

  • BHU Postgraduate BHU students are given reserved seating. Admission to BHU M.Sc Ag is no longer easy. Internal quota seats are available to BHU students.

  • MBA Master's in Business is another route that students can take. There is a good environment for MBA preparation here, and many students get into prestigious institutes like IIM-Ahmadabad, IRMA, TISS, NIBM NAARM, and many more.

  • BANKING Every year, IBPS invites applications for Agriculture officers. In recent years, there has been a trend in BHU to prepare for IBPS exams, with approximately half of a batch going into the banking sector. Many students also study for the FCI, NABARD, and State PCS (for District Agriculture Officer) exams. 

  • PLACEMENT Many private firms, dairy companies, private banks, non-governmental organizations, and seed and fertilizer industries offer graduates lucrative packages. Students who are looking for jobs right after graduation usually apply for them.

How is mechanical engineering at IIT (BHU)?

UG
Udit Ghose Posted On : November 17th, 2022
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, Sharda University

My cousin was a student at IIT BHU in Varanasi. She shared her experience as to why she thinks it’s not a good branch for Mechanical Engineering.

  • The professors are under qualified here. They have little knowledge about their own subjects and teach only bookish concepts. The classes are boring.

  • Students attend classes merely for attendance. This is because even if you score good marks, you might fail if your attendance is less than 75% in that particular subject.

  • The numerical answers are not checked through the stepwise method. That is your method to solve has no value if your answer is wrong.

  • Professors here are not well versed with the relative grading system. This affects the CGPA of many students.

  • Placements are mediocre here. Only non core sectors like coding and analytics get placement opportunities. The salaries offered are also very low.

  • Labs are not equipped with modern tools. The students get no practical exposure.

The conclusion from her experience was that the professors in Mechanical Engineering at Varanasi IIT are bringing down the results of students terribly.

How does IITRAM compare with SVNIT?

PV
Puja Verma Posted On : July 6th, 2021
B.Tech Electrical Engineering, Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology, Surat (2019)

NIT Surat is one of the oldest NITs in India and also the education standards are good. However, the quality of education provided at IITRAM can be compared to that of IITs. It is definitely way better than NITs.

  • IITRAM has a unique educational structure and pattern. The main motto and aim of IITRAM are to create skilled engineers.
  • IIRAM has been honored with prestigious awards over the years. You can check them on the institute's official website.
  • It has a center of excellence. Which helps students by providing industrial knowledge. Coming to the labs and the infrastructure, it is compatible and better than NIT Surat.

Many of my friends choose IITRAM over NIT Surat and they stand by their decision.

What is IIT Delhi best at among all the IITs?

KS
Kunal Sharma Posted On : April 10th, 2023
B.Tech. from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

IIT Delhi is indeed a well esteemed Engineering college in India. The best part about IIT Delhi is that it provides holistic development of the students rather than just focusing on academics. You get to explore and experience everything you can imagine in your life. You are able to multitask by the time you leave college.

The students here are not just academic geniuses but each one of them has a unique trait. Most students are all-rounders excelling in sports, academics as well as cultural activities. 

An added bonus is the close proximity to DU colleges which form a network of colleges and students clustered together. The IIT Delhi students actively participate among students belonging to diverse streams of knowledge. 

IIT Delhi's location is also a major reason why it is considered the best. While all other IITs are far from the city, IIT Delhi is located in the center of the city more importantly in South Delhi. This locational advantage brings tremendous opportunities in terms of placements and amenities.

The overall culture inside and outside the campus makes IIT Delhi a unique IIT in every sense.

How is IBS Pune?

RC
Rishi Roy Choudhary Posted On : February 17th, 2021
MBA at IBS Pune

IBS, Pune is a highly regarded Business School that covers fundamentally every field of study a student of management has arguably thought about. Here is a brief highlight of the institute. 

  • Case-study based Pedagogy: It follows a case-study methodology for teaching. This is quite fascinating, considering you get to learn based on cases that have actually taken place.
  • Self-study: On the other hand, IBS Pune is not for those who are not self-motivated. The institute does not impose too much pressure academically so it is up to you to take the initiative to study, get your work done in time, and clear your doubts. Most students lack the self-motivation to stay focused and lose interest in studies by the end of the 1st year.
  • Faculty: According to student reviews, the faculty at the institute has expertise in subjects like marketing, human resources, entrepreneurship, and other subjects.
  • Industry Tie-ups: The college also has collaboration with many reputed companies to ensure good placements. 
  • Location: Being situated in Pune, it has a locational advantage. With Mumbai being so close, students get a lot of exposure. 

Table below will provide an overview of IBS Pune.

Average CTC

INR 6.1 LPA

Top Recruiters 

Google, Amul, Zomato, Wipro, Oracle, Vedanta, TNS, Colgate, DLF, Deloitte, etc.

Which way is better to do an MS general surgery and then take up neurosurgery as a superspeciality or the direct 6yrs Mch Neurosurgery course offered by AIIMS and NIMHANS after an MBBS?

SR
Swastika Roy Posted On : October 6th, 2021
MBBS Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery Degrees, Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences

I know a person who is pursuing Neurosurgery and he does not feel it is not necessary to go through 3 years of MS general surgery before taking up neurosurgery. As a 6-year student, he was supposed to rotate through 10 months of general surgery.

He did not find general surgical skills that he acquired during the rotation, of much use in neurosurgery, other than the very basic knot tying and suturing skills, which can also be acquired through dedicated lab practice.

The other techniques followed in neurosurgery are significantly different from those followed in general surgery. The extensive use of the surgical microscope and bipolar coagulation for hemostasis distinguishes this surgical discipline from general surgery.

Today, neurosurgeons typically use access surgeons (thoracic surgeons or urologists) if they want to perform any unconventional approaches to the spine, which is much safer for the patient.

A lot of post-MS students don’t find much difference in incompetence or spectrum of surgeries and they are comfortable when compared with those having gone through six years of courses.

Globally, there is a trend towards running integrated courses only. Also, in India, pursuing a 6 years’ course after MBBS means you will have one less entrance examination to worry about.
