How is marks distribution in 8th semester engineering in vtu?
According to one of my friends at Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), the total marks in the eighth semester of engineering are 750. There are a total of 6 subjects.
The distribution is as follows:
- There are 4 subjects whose theory carries 100 marks in the external examination and 25 in the internal examination.
- After this, there is a seminar that is marked out of 50 and it is internally evaluated.
- The most important is Project work, as it carries the maximum marks of 200.
- The marks are then divided equally into internal and external examinations.
- In order to score well in project works and seminars, you need to make sure to have a good impression of the guide.

How is the life of a middle class student at the Manipal Institute of Technology?
I am assuming that you wish to know if the crowd at MIT is friendly. As a middle class student, even I was afraid of being left out while joining MIT. I feared that the students might have hierarchies of sorts, based on wealth and social status.
As an introvert, it was especially difficult for me to approach my batchmates. But the cultural diversity of my batch made me curious to know each one of the students.
To overcome my hesitation, I decided to go and talk to my batchmates during breaks. I admit that it's quite nerve wracking to approach a stranger and talk to them.
I was pleasantly surprised that everyone was very sweet and welcoming. None was rude or arrogant, instead, they were as willing as me to drive the conversation ahead. This gave me so much confidence that I kept increasing my network beyond my batch.
Earlier, I looked at people as mere strangers. Now I noticed how different each person was. Everyone had their own stories and passions.
Through my experience I wanted to tell you that you’ll meet some amazing people at MIT. Manipal Institute of Technology offers great exposure and personality development to its students. You won’t find groupism based on wealth. So, irrespective of your background, you’ll have a good time over here.

How much does a management seat cost in XLRI or the top A++ business colleges?
XLRI doesn’t have a management quota. Every aspirant seeking admission needs to take XAT. If you clear the required cutoff, you will get a shortlist. Shortlisted candidates need to further go through the GD-PI round to get admission.
The admission process for other top B-Schools is similar. The admission is merit-based. You will need to clear the entrance test, and the GD-PI round, to be considered for admission.
Which is better in terms of fees and placements, SIMS Pune or SIBM Bangalore? Which one should I go for in terms of ROI?
ROI should not only be looked at from the monetary aspect. Rather, ROI should also include the overall personality development of a student. This is because as an MBA student, one does not only invest money but also devotes valuable time for the course.
SIMS Pune has a lesser fee than SIBM Bangalore. For an MBA, SIMS Pune has a fee of around INR 10.5 Lakhs for general category students. The children of defense personnel are charged a lesser amount.
On the other hand, SIBM Bangalore charges around INR 19.1 Lakhs from Indian students of all categories. SIMS Pune has a larger alumni base and a greater industry connection. This is because SIMS Pune is very old in comparison to SIBM Bangalore.
In terms of ROI, SIMS Pune is better because of its lesser fee.
However, do consider these facts before arriving at the final decision-
- SIMS Pune has a 90% seat reservation for students of defense background. Because of this, general students have to score way higher in comparison to get a seat in SIMS. This affects peer learning and in an MBA, peer learning is what you do.
- Most coaching institutes such as Endeavor and TIME place SIBM Bangalore at a higher rank in the list of Tier-2 management colleges. This shows the reputation that SIBM Bangalore has created for itself in a short span.
- The placements at SIBM Bangalore are continuously increasing and have reached par with SIMS Pune. SIMS Pune is stagnant in terms of placements.
- The SIBM Bangalore tag has great value. Also, the location of SIBM B is a plus point, especially for those who wish to go for IT operations.
- Students from different backgrounds come together at SIBM Bangalore. There are ex-employees, freshers, and people from various educational backgrounds.
- SIBM Bangalore has a TEDx license, and Bloomberg terminals, all case studies are from Harvard business review, 12 clubs, and 12 committees, and there is an inclusion of courses on R, SPSS, tableau, and advanced Excel in the curriculum.
After considering all these points, I finally decided to go to SIBM Bangalore for my MBA.

How is the life of a DM and an MCH students in AIIMS, Delhi?
The DM and M.sch are paid studentships rather than real courses for students. Their life is more like an employee's than a student's. Till the time you complete your degree, you will be completely under the umbrella of your consultant, and he can control you to a certain level. You are expected to report as soon as your consultant or HOD asks for you without any excuses.
Despite the huge patient inflow and diversity of cases, DM and MCH students don’t get to handle surgeries single-handedly and have to always work under the supervision of their consultants. However, instead of losing motivation, it’s best to make the most out of the institute's legacy and brand name. As a DM or MCH student, you will always be sleep-deprived, and skipping meals will become a new normal.
Ultimately the quality of life of a DM or MCH student depends on the particular individual and his circumstances.
What is IIT Kanpur doing wrong compared to other IITs?
To answer this question in a single line, IIT Kanpur’s relative grading system is the absolute nightmare of the Institute. While other institutes have a continuous grading system like 10.9,8,7,6,5 and so on, IIT Kanpur follows a relative grading system. Under this grading is done in this manner:
- A* = 10 Outstanding
- A = 10 Excellent
- B = 8 Good
- C = 6 Fair
- D = 4 Pass
- E = 2 Exposure/Repeat
- F = 0 Fail
The discontinuity in grade points becomes a major issue when applying for higher education or off-campus placements. When you will be evaluated among other IITians you will see students with a 9 which is the usual criterion for placements. But at IIT Kanpur you can either get a 10 or an 8. The same issue arises for applying for MS covert or IIMs.
Basically, someone with an 8+CGPA will be given a 10-grade score while someone with an 8 CGPA will get a 7 rating score thereby reducing the chances of getting a call from B schools.
What is the worst thing about IIM Calcutta?
One lesser-known fact about IIM Calcutta is the unhygienic conditions caused by the dirty lakes surrounding it. Mostly this truth is underestimated. But the reality is the pictures of the lakes at IIM Calcutta are misleading. They are nothing near surreal or beautiful. If anything they are the brooding ground of mosquitoes. Snakes and other poisonous creatures are also present here. Anyone who comes in contact with its water is bound to get skin infection or other ailments.
These lakes have been used as a marketing element for IIM Calcutta and it’s shocking that people believe such lies.
