How is life at IMU (Indian Maritime University)?
Some of my friends go to Indian Maritime University, Chennai. Based on what I heard from them, here is a brief highlight of the campus life at the university.
- The administration is not very cooperative. There is no student involvement in monitoring and improving the quality of education. The only people you will get help from on campus are your seniors.
- The quality of education offered at the university is average at best.
- Usually, 4 people stay in a hostel room. Wardens are strict but helpful. In your first year, you are only allowed to leave the campus for only one day per week. You will also need special permission from the warden for leaving the campus.
- There are no such extra-curricular activities that take place on campus.
- The placement statistics of IMU are not good. Many students struggle with recruitment.
This should give you some idea about the campus life at IMU, Chennai.
Is it worth joining Jaipuria Institute of Management Lucknow spending around 9-10 lakhs rupees including everything?
Other than IIM Lucknow, the other management institutions in the city are very average. Jaipuria Institute of Management Lucknow is an average institution. It should not be on your priority list.
My friend applied to the Jaipuria Institute of Management Lucknow with no intention of joining it. She said that even though she gave the interview half-heartedly, she was still selected for admission.
This made my friend feel that the institution holds the personal interview as a mere formality. The main scope of the institution is to admit students and charge high fees, regardless of their scores, GD/PI performance, or other parameters of assessment.
During the placements in 2023, 300+ recruiters visited the campus for placements. The highest domestic CTC stood at 22 LPA and the average CTC stood at 12.34 LPA. The highest number of offers came from the Research & Consulting sector. The top recruiters were HDFC Bank, Deloitte, PWC, ICICI Bank, HCL, Eclerx, etc.
Though the 2023 placement figures are good for the Jaipuria Institute of Management Lucknow, I would still suggest you aim for joining the top business schools. You can always choose this institution in case you are not able to get admission into a better one.

What is the worst course you've taken or have heard of at IIT Delhi?
In my opinion, the two worst courses one should refrain from ever taking in IIT Delhi are MCP 100 and MCP 101.
MCP 100: This course is Engineering Drawing and is one of the most irrelevant courses offered at IIT Delhi. It is taught by prof Sujeet Kumar Sinha who has no teaching skills and is always in a rush to complete the course. The entire syllabus is completed in just 2 months leaving no space to comprehend what was taught.
MCP 101: This course comprises concepts such as casting and welding which are not expected to be studied by an IITian at least.
Both the courses are a complete waste of time and don’t do justice to the institute's reputation.
How do I prepare for GATE Biotech?
Given below are a few important tips on how to prepare for GATE Biotech.
- Start preparing by making a proper timetable of daily and monthly targets. There is a lot to prepare and if you are a fresher you will face difficulty in managing time with your regular studies. Most people 6 months or 1 year prior to the exam.

Which is a better option college for CSE or IT - VIT Vellore or IIIT Allahabad?
Considering this question, the first thing that can be highlighted is that both of these institutes cannot be compared at all. However, studying IT in IIIT Allahabad is far better as it offers several opportunities, as well as institutional environment and infrastructure to assist the student in their career growth appropriately.
However, CSE at Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) is not so secure considering the programming prospects and study culture that the student will get at IIITA. This choice is easy enough for the student to make as per their career perspectives.
The following table gives a brief overview of these two institutes:
|
Criteria |
IIITA |
VIT |
|
Highest CTC |
43 LPA |
41.6 LPA |
|
Lowest CTC |
20.83 LPA |
7 LPA |
|
Companies Visited |
120+ |
80+ |
|
Placement Statistics |
95% |
80% |
Thus, considering the above facts, it can be stated that between these two institutes, the student must go for IIIT Allahabad, as VIT can’t be compared at all.
