AS
Anisha Srivastav Posted On : July 27th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar (IITGN)

IIT Gandhinagar has some of the best hostels among all the IITs. My cousin studying here once visited IIT Roorkee for the Inter-IIT cultural meet and concluded that their own hostels were the best. Additionally, she also participated in Invent@IITGN wherein she worked with people from 8 other IITs. They too said the same things that IIT Gandhinagar has the best hostel and mess facilities

Here are some detailed features of the accommodation facilities here

  • Apart from IIT Jodhpur, IIT Gandhinagar is the only IIT that has air-conditioned hostel rooms.
  • There are no restrictions on boys and girls visiting each other's hostel.
  • The hostels provide basic electrical appliances like a fridge, an oven, a water cooler, and an induction stove on every floor.
  • IIT Gandhinagar hostel rooms are well-designed with large single and double rooms comprising basic amenities like a desk, a chair, a bed,  a fan, and a cupboard.
  • Students have access to warm water at any time of the day.
  • There are a wide variety of eateries like Amul Store, Tea Post, Sainath Canteen, Dawat Canteen, Grocers, General Store, Mahavir Healthy Foods, Anytime Snacks, and a salon operating in the hostel buildings.
  • The food served in the mess is actually good and there is even dessert for dinner.
  • The students can enjoy their choice of sports at Badminton, volleyball, and basketball courts just next to the hostels. 
  • There is a  student lounge in the hostel area with air hockey, foosball, snooker, and other indoor games.

In a nutshell, the hostels at IIT Gandhinagar are the best among all IITs!

What is the average package at IIT, Kharagpur for applied geology?

SG
Senjuti Gupta Posted On : March 22nd, 2023
studied at IIT Kgp

The average packages of “Applied Geology” or any other branch apart from CS, ECE, EE, and MnC are highly misleading as they include both core and non-core jobs with non-core jobs forming the majority.

In reality, IIT campus placements offer very few core jobs in certain departments and Applied Geology Is one of them. So most of the students tend to go for Non-Core jobs related to their field of interest like Coding, Finance, Data Analysis, etc. The number of companies offering core jobs in departments such as Mechanical or Chemical is very low. So out of the entire batch, only toppers are offered core jobs while the rest go for non-core jobs. The placement percentage is a combination of both these jobs and thus cannot tell you specifically about the placements of that particular department.

On an average batch size of 25-30 students, only 4-5 get core jobs in Applied Geology while the rest get non-core jobs. So your skills and abilities matter a lot during such branch placements. The median salary of Applied Geology is around INR 15 LPA and some top recruiters include Capgemini, Cipla, Cognizant, Genpact, IBM, ICICI, Just dial, Oil India Limited, YesBank, and more.

In what kind of research electives do AIIMS Delhi MBBS students participate at John Hopkins University?

VM
Vedant Mishra Posted On : June 1st, 2023
MBBS from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi

AIIMS Delhi MBBS students can participate in any research elective depending on their preferences and career goals. They are required to mail their CV to the concerned professor. If the professor is convinced of your caliber through your CV and has seats available, he will reach out for the same.

AIIMS UG students are able to secure an elective very easily thanks to the AIIMS tag attached to them. AIIMS is a medical college that enjoys extensive global recognition and professors almost blindly trust AIIMS students. Here are a few research electives my friends had opted for.

  • Surgery
  • Respiratory medicine
  • Gastroenterology
  • Pediatric Neurology 
  • Ob-Gyn.
  • Pathology
  • Neurosurgery.

Professors of John Hopkins University warmly welcome AIIMS students for research in any department.

What are some mind-blowing facts about NIT Warangal?

RG
Ritik Ghose Posted On : August 17th, 2023
B.Tech from National Institutes of Technology (2020)

Here are some unique facts and experiences that students of NIT Warangal go through on a daily basis. 

  • Girls are expected to be behind the hostel gates well before 10 pm.
  • The girls' hostel is very secure and almost gives off the vibes of a jail. They have to go through so many restrictions and their hostel life is very dull.
  • Students look forward to a delicious meal of Aloo Parathas that is served exclusively on Sundays.
  • Most students wake up late on weekends and end up missing breakfast.
  • The professors have this strange habit of teaching with closed fans so that they don't have to speak loudly and strain their vocal cords. 
  • There is gender discrimination to a huge extent as boys are allowed to roam around freely any time of the day or night while girls have restrictions. 

These were some common experiences shared by my friends at NIT Warangal that I thought should be brought to light.

Do you have any regrets on choosing AIIMS Rishikesh? My parents are not convinced with my decision to study there. Is there any negative aspect you have ever come across there?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : May 31st, 2023
lives in New Delhi

My brother was adamant about AIIMS Rishikesh and although our parents and relatives were against his decision he went for it. He had offers from KGMC, BHU, and AMU. They were worried that AIIMS Rishikesh had no reservations/quotas and did not consider it at par with the AIIMS legacy.

He, however, was very confident about his decision and the relentless arguments did not dissuade him from joining AIIMS Rishikesh. After spending a year or more at AIIMS Rishikesh he realized it was the best decision of his life. He had found a family away from home and was also attached to the institute.h

He claimed that it was the peaceful and serene ambiance that kept his spirits high even during the hardest of times. Thanks to the surreal experience he spent the most difficult years with great positivity.

Which is the most relaxed branch in BITS Pilani?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
Founder, NextBigWhat

My answer is only related to the BITS Pilani Goa campus as my knowledge is limited to the same. Here, the most relaxed and laid branch you will find is Mechanical.

The level of difficulty and workload of any branch depends on its lab sessions while the course difficulty is almost the same since BITS follows a relative grading system. Now, when it comes to mechanical, the lab sessions are pretty laid back. All you have to do is turn on the heater in the apparatus and just note down readings after every 10 minutes. Students spend this time gossiping and chilling around. Moreover, this is a group work and only one student is capable of doing such an easy task while others relax. Lab sessions of other branches are very hectic and often extended to 3-4 hours.

The Mechanical branch is good either way; if you are genuinely interested you will land a decent job in the core. If you are here just for chilling, you can relax and still get placed in some non-tech job.

One of my friends stays nearby Tiruchirappalli. According to him, unfortunately, NIT Trichy is located in a place called Thuvakudi which is at a distance of 20 km and 40 km from Trichy and Thanjavur respectively.

  • There are only villages around the college which means you won't get any hotels nearby.

  • The nearest hotel is pretty good, it is Hotel Grand Gardenia. You can check it out from the traveling websites. 
  • Also, there are a lot of other cheap hotels within 200 m of the bus stand.
  • Sangam is one of the best hotels in Trichy. It is also quite near to the main bus stand. 
  • SRM is also equally good.
  • For your stay in Trichy, Ramya's Hotels is the best hotel which is near to the Railway Station and Central Bus Stand. 
  • They have different types of rooms according to the guest's expectations. 
  • They provide all types of facilities like free wifi, heater, room service, valet car parking, etc.

The majority of the hotels are present in Trichy city whereas NIT Trichy is about 18 km from the main city. It approximately takes one hour to travel. So, if you wanna choose the best hotels in Trichy simply select Ramyas Hotels.

KV
Karuna Verma Posted On : April 29th, 2021
B.Tech Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Jamshedpur (2016)

NIT Jamshedpur is a tier- 3 Indian Engineering College and it fairs well compared to some other NITs like Raipur, Durgapur, Jaipur in terms of placements of Metallurgical branch students. 

  • More than 100 companies pay a visit to NIT Jamshedpur each year to continue the recruitment. This number keeps on increasing every year.
  • Non-core companies are known to offer 6-8 LPA whereas core companies offer 7-8 LPA. 
  • A number of companies such as TATA Steel, TATA Tinplate, Vedanta group, JSW, JSL, etc regularly take a part in the NIT Jamshedpur’s recruitment. 
  • TATA is known to recruit a maximum of its employees from NIT Jamshedpur.
  • For the 2021 batch, the department witnessed 75% placements offers. The average package offered was 12 LPA.

Jamshedpur in itself is fortunate to have a number of steel companies and therefore the metallurgy students here have that to their advantage. The exposure, the competitive environment ensure that students obtain a number of opportunities for training and internships.

Moreover, this branch has a lot of scopes not just in our country but abroad too. Also, metallurgy is the oldest branch in NIT Jamshedpur.
