What is the process of converting a percentage to a CGPA at VTU Belgaum?

SB
Senjuti Bose Posted On : October 4th, 2021
National Law School of India University,Bangalore

One of my friends studied at VTU Belgaum. According to him, they follow a CBCS, which is a Choice Based Credit System wherein students have the choice of selecting their subjects/courses based on their interests- core, elective, and foundations. 

  • CGPA is a measure of the whole cumulative performance of a student for all of the semesters. 
  • It is the ratio of total credit points earned by a student and the sum of total credits of all courses in all the semesters. 
  • The process of converting percentage to CGPA is very easy. You just have to divide your percentage by 9.5 that will give you the CGPA.
  • For example - If you have 73% then 73/9.5 = 7.6 CGPA 
  • And if you have CGPA and wish to convert it to percentage then just multiply your CGPA by 9.5. 

The last semester is different from all the others because it has project work and internship as well that get graded. Therefore, this is how you will be able to convert a percentage to the CGPA.

SC
Shreyashi Roy Chowdhury Posted On : October 6th, 2021
B.Tech Agricultural Engineering, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India

As per the recent cutoff trends, a cut-off of about 190 and above is best to get shortlisted for a B.Sc Agri course at TNAU. 

If not, there are different other courses, with a somewhat similar backdrop, like horticulture, forestry, home science, food science, agribusiness management, and more, that require a relatively lower cutoff, as opposed to Agricultural Sciences.

Also, there are various other colleges affiliated under TNAU with required cutoffs lower than the former.

SG
Sushmita Gupta Posted On : April 1st, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

Nothing can prepare you enough for the intense life you will be experiencing at IIT Delhi. Yet, here are a few pointers that might help

  • You will see a drastic decline in your rank. Students who were once school toppers will reach the bottom of the class. This is usually because students are chilled after JEE or face massive competition.
  • The first-year Physics lecture and lab activities are the most challenging things you will face.
  • Never copy your assignments as your professors are way smarter than you think
  • Listen to the advice of seniors but pay heed to only the ones that your brain justifies.
  • Make sure to use your freedom well and don’t let it become a reason for your downfall 
  • You might face partiality to a little extent but you must bear with it.

Which is better: MTech in IIT Madras or CSE in NIT Trichy?

SP
Shankar Pandey Posted On : March 28th, 2023
B.Tech Production and Industrial Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli (2020)

The choice of the branch, as well as the Institute, depends on a lot of factors like your personal preferences and the other options you have. It’s difficult to say which is better between the Mechanical Engineering program at IIT Madras and CSE at NIT Trichy, as both are highly reputable institutions with strong engineering programs. Both offer excellent curricula, experienced faculty, and ample opportunities for research and extracurricular activities. 

Joining NIT Trichy for CSE is a good choice if

  • You are more interested in computer science and software development
  • If you are only after the CS roles and placements. The placements of this branch are pretty good at NIT Trichy with the average package at INR 17-24 LPA and placement rate at 98-100%.
  • If you want to pursue higher studies in MS

Joining IIT Madras for Mechanical Engineering is a good choice if

  • You are looking for an amazing campus life and the IIT tag
  • You are open to non-core jobs because core Mechanical jobs are average. 
  • If you want to start a career in CS by learning to code or taking minor courses in CS

Some other options to consider are

  1. CSE at IIIT Hyderabad or new IITs
  2. ECE at IIT Guwahati 
  3. EE at IIT Hyderabad 

All these have average packages above 20 LPA and are excellent options. The preference order for branches on the basis of job prospects and the current demands in the market is as follows

CSE > M&C > ECE > EE

All these branches are open to software profiles whereas other branches usually offer non-core profiles even Mechanical. Ultimately, it's important to research both programs and consider your own interests and goals before making a decision.

What is the procedure to defer admission to IIM Ahmedabad?

SB
Shrey Banka Posted On : November 22nd, 2022
MBA in Management, Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (Graduated 2017)

Every student that gets selected to IIM Ahmedabad gets an option to defer their admission provided that the person must have full time work experience of less than 2 years.

This corporate experience gives a better understanding of the PGP program.

Some important points related to deferring admission are:

  1. Defer can be for a maximum of 2 years and a minimum of 1 year

  2. 1 year deferment is not allowed for freshers. They need to defer for at least 2 years and gain experience.

  3. A separate form needs to be filled for applying for deferment.

  4. Fees include Security Deposit + deferment fee = 2 lacs. If you don’t join after the end of the deferment period, this amount will be forfeited.

  5. Your progress will be monitored throughout.

To get your admission deferred, all you need to do is apply and send the form to IIM Ahmedabad. Such requests rarely go unaccepted.
