Should I take IIT Delhi chemical or take a drop?
I am not saying that taking a dropout is a bad decision. Most people who appear for JEE more than once tend to score better after the first time. It is not an issue and don’t let people convince you otherwise.
However, you should have a very just reason for taking a drop. Just because you couldn’t get into your dream branch does not mean, you cannot do well in other branches. In that case, you can consider the CS branch of other 2nd-tier Engineering colleges rather than taking a drop year. Moreover, you will be answerable for the same in your interview, and might work against your favor in your interview.
On research, you will find that the median salary of IIT Guwahati and other engineering colleges is almost on par with that of IIT Kanpur and Madras. There is a difference, but not big enough to make you take a year drop out. Ultimately, only you can make the decision but I have laid down the cards, make a wise decision.

How is it to opt for Agriculture and Food engineering in IIT Kharagpur? What is the scope for non core jobs?
Agriculture and Food Engineering faces no competition in the Indian market and thus its students usually target higher studies from foreign universities. Basically, no other IIT has had this branch till now.
The course curriculum includes basic principles of chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and civil engineering, but each of these is taught in agricultural aspects.
Since the students of this course do not specialize in any branch, the placement scenario of this branch is very poor. Agricultural Engineering companies might have a special interest in you but the main problem is this branch is not known to many top companies. Eventually, there are only a very few core companies that offer placements.
The worst part is that even companies offering non-core jobs that are open for students of all branches don’t consider students of this specific branch. So it all depends on your individual performance and your profile.
Hence the scope of non-core jobs in this department is decent and depends mostly on your individual profile and performance.

Can anybody please tell me what G1, G2, G3, and G4 stand for in NIT Trichy?
There are quite a few disciplines you can choose from when it comes to M.Tech programs at NIT Trichy. To put it straight, G1 is the first group with a few selected disciplines, G2 with another set, and so forth.
The only reason why the college has done this is to effectively manage the total seats available and divide them group-wise.
For example, a particular program having a 30 seat intake can possibly be distributed as G1 with 15 seats and G2 having 8 seats, and the remaining given to G3. This easily helps segregate and understand groups.
Keep in mind that the cutoff varies for each program. The only reason why these groups were created is to allot seats to each discipline.
Which is better: IIT Guwahati CSE or IIT BHU CSE?
Instead of recommending any specific institute, there are some myths that need to be debunked first:
- Placements at one institute are better than the other.
- BHU has a wider network.
- IITG has a cooler administration.
You must compare the two courses based on the following features:
- Academic research
- Placement statistics
- Competitive coding
- Open-source development
- Other club activities
- Climate and geography
- Connectivity (and distance from hometown)
If you're specifically interested in CSE, then the first four points are almost equal for both BHU and Guwahati. When it comes to the other points, IITG has a better climate, while Varanasi may be better connected and nearer to your hometown.
So, it's up to you to weigh the pros and cons and decide which institute suits you better. Remember to make an informed decision and choose wisely.
What is the LAN speed at BITS Pilani?
The campus assists the students with the Wi-Fi facility and everyone is given the passwords. Moreover, you can make use of DC++ to get speeds up to 10-15 Mbps. So, for an 800 MB movie, it shall take a minute to download and hours to consume.
DC usually works on intranet suffices for the slow speed and you get almost everything you want.
Furthermore, it’s better than BSNL. But not all sites are accessible. Wi-Fi is there only in a few parts of the faculty division, and accessible from some of the hostels which are located near staff quarters. Basically, it is meant for professors' use.
I am now in MAMC Delhi Should I drop this year to get into AIIMS Delhi I am sure to get selected next year?

How is the campus life at NMIMS shirpur?
I have a few friends at NMIMS Shirpur, so I can tell you a little bit about the campus life at the institute.
- Hostel and Mess- The hostels are the best in Maharashtra as well as in India. The best part of this campus is its infrastructure, the hostel rooms are quite spacious and they are the best among other colleges but there are no air conditioning facilities in the room. Mess food is good but they provide you with veg food.
- Faculties & classrooms- The faculty base is good and most of them are quite friendly. The classrooms are well maintained and air-conditioned.
- Placement wise- Placements are quite good. It offers 100% placement, provided if you do not have any backlog in any subject. The average package offered is 3.5 lacks and the highest is around 10 to 12 lakhs.
- Fest & crowd- During the odd semester, you will have Aiesc Youth to Speak Forum (YSF) followed by Narsee Monjee Model United Nations (NMMUN) followed by the TECH FEST of the college i.e., Ambiora. During even semester you have Cultural fest i.e., Prothoson, and Sports fest i.e., Flavium followed by TedX.
- Library- The library there is brilliant with a lot of articles and reference books.
This campus is ragging-free and the protocols are strict and require to be followed by every student. The campus is smoking and alcohol-free. If one is caught doing any act which violates the college rules and regulations, they will have to face severe punishment.
What would be better for an above average student interested in finance, IIM Kozhikode or SP Jain?
Both colleges have nearly identical fee structures. Top consulting firms such as Mckinsey, EY, and Frost & Sullivan hire from K but not SP Jain. BCG, Accenture Strategy, PWC, Deloitte, KPMG, PRTM, CBC, and others have all visited both. While consulting firms extended 41% of all offers, the median salary increased by 32.5 percent from 2021 to 2022. Consulting emerged as the top recruiting sector at SPJ, with offers extended to 38% of the 238 participants.
In terms of middle office IBD and Wealth Management roles offered by JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and Credit Suisse, K clearly outperforms SPJ. However, SPJain had a better scene in corporate finance, with Mondelez, GE, and Vodafone all offering corp fin. In Corporate Banking/Treasury, the number of companies visiting both is equal, with Citi, Yes Bank, ICICI, Axis, IDFC, IndusInd, and others visiting both. JM Financials and Standard Chartered are two brands that do not hire from K for corp banking. For the first time, Deutsche Bank has hired exclusively from K for their corporate banking role, rather than from SP Jain.
IIM K has provided a variety of finance roles, including middle and front-office investment banking, wealth management, corporate banking, and treasury roles, whereas investment banking and wealth management roles are almost nonexistent in SP Jain. They have a higher proportion of corporate finance positions available.
Going forward, with the expected growth and increasing alumni base, IIM K should be clearly a preferred choice over SP Jain for students aspiring to finance and consulting roles.
