How's ECE at NIT Kurukshetra?
The ECE department at NIT Kurukshetra is average and not at par with NIT standards so go for it only if you are genuinely interested in the branch. Here are some strong reasons why I oppose joining this branch
- The classroom sessions are boring and only a few exceptional professors are even interested in teaching
- The workload is challenging and so is the curriculum. You will have to study really hard to maintain a good CGPA, something that directly affects your placements. It will be even more difficult if you lack interest in the branch.
- The placement scenario is also nothing you will be looking forward to. Only a handful of companies come for ECE students. The majority of the batch will be placed in IT companies, and for this, you will have to study extra CS subjects. The competition is overwhelming and you will feel drained.
The detailed placement statistics of the ECE branch at NIT Kurukshetra have been tabulated below:

So don’t go for ECE unless you are genuinely interested in it or you are committed to hard work for 4 long years.

What score (in MICAT) is need to get a GE & PI call from MICA?
MICA, also known as Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad, offers its flagship Post Graduate Diploma in Management - Communications (PGDM-C) program. Admission to the program is a two-step process consisting of the following:
- MICAT: MICA Admission Test
- GE & PI: Group Exercise and Personal Interview
To receive a GE & PI call from MICA, you need to secure a minimum qualifying score in MICAT. The cutoff score for MICAT varies every year, and it depends on various factors such as the number of applicants, the difficulty level of the exam, and the available seats. However, based on the previous years' cut-off, you can expect the minimum score required to get a GE & PI call from MICA to be around 45-50 marks out of 105 marks.
It's important to note that getting a GE & PI call doesn't guarantee admission to the program. The final selection is based on your overall performance in the MICAT, GE, and PI, along with your academic record, work experience, and extracurricular activities. Therefore, it's advisable to prepare well for the exam and give your best in the selection process to increase your chances of getting admission to the program.
Which college should I select between Vasavi College of Engineering and VNR Vignana Jyothi College of Engineering?
Vasavi College of Engineering is better. It has better faculty than VNR Vignana Jyothi College of Engineering and that the record of placements of the former is also superior. According to 2021 placement highlights, the highest and lowest CTC offered at Vasavi are 21 LPA and 3.5 LPA respectively.
Vasavi boasts of having a good library and classes for exclusive employability are also conducted here. The faculty is also very supportive and experienced.

- There is not much availability of freedom at Vasavi.
- No availability of wifi for the students.

Both colleges have their share of advantages and disadvantages, but overall Vasavi is the better option.

The selection process of XLRI is not that difficult. Let me explain it simply, sharing one of my friend’s experiences. His selection procedure went something like this -
Firstly, two papers will be taken in the XAT which is the same for everyone. Paper 1 includes sections like -Decision Making, Verbal and Logical Ability, Quantitative Ability (QA), and Data Interpretation (DI). Paper 2 includes sections like - General Knowledge and Essay Writing.
Once the exam is done, the next question that arises is how much do you need for XLRI. The sectional cut-off is 95-96 percentile. Check the following table for a detailed cut off:

- Did you read the newspaper today? Your general awareness of the world, and current trends.
- And finally the most important question, where do you see yourself in the next 5 years.

How was your IIT Kanpur's MBA interview experience?
One of my friends had a great MBA interview experience at IIT Kanpur. She had a completely different and exhilarating experience which was nothing like what was going on there. In fact, the students being interviewed before she had been evaluated on the basis of their knowledge of Engineering that too from the 1st year. Almost everyone had no idea because around 6 years had passed and everyone had forgotten even the basic concepts let alone the questions they were being asked.
Before entering the interview room she was very scared and clueless. She found herself in a small room with 2 male panelists.
- The first panelist asked her about her most exciting aspect to which she told them about the book she was writing. They sounded curious and ended up hearing the entire plot.
- Next, she was asked if she liked traveling to which she told them about her dream destination being Iceland and how she had already traveled throughout India.
- They further asked her about her family and why she did not prefer IIM Lucknow despite being close to her home.
The interview ended on a friendly note and she left the room with a light heart. Surprisingly enough, she was able to convert.
How was Vignan University?
Some of my friends are students at Vignan University. According to them, it was quite satisfying, the overall performance of this institute. They mentioned some facts about the college, which might give you a clear idea about it.

- Moreover, the seminar halls are well constructed and the hostels are well maintained and hygienic.
- This university enrolls the students in both Management and Technical courses.
- Moreover, the timings of both the programs are different.
- The college for both the programs begins at the same time i.e. 8 AM.
- For the students of management, their classes end at 1 PM and for B.Tech students, the classes end at around 3:30 PM.
- The lecturers are also quite cooperative and are good to the students. Also, they are available for students at least 3 to 4 times a week.
- Moreover, the students aren’t restricted to do anything outside the classroom, they are free to sit on the campus near the beautiful nature.
- The most appreciated thing in hostels is the mess, the food is so delicious than any other colleges’ mess.
- The food quality and quantity is really good, like the IITs. The food definitely won't disappoint you.
A total number of 1540 students got placed this year in prominent companies such as CS, Concentrix, FACE, Westline, Aliens Group, CTS, Infosys, Teleperformance.
