What should a non-genius student do to get a seat at IIT Kanpur CS?

AR
Aditi Roy Posted On : April 19th, 2023
lives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

It’s good that you have a target in your mind and aren’t leaving everything to luck. The best way for a non-genius student to get a seat at IIT Kanpur's Computer Science program is to work hard and consistently. Rather than stating the usual; solving previous year question papers, joining good coaching institutes, coordinating school with coaching classes, and self-study, I will talk about some of the most basic things that people often undermine 

  • Whenever you feel you are falling into a slump, remind yourself that there are hundreds of students who want you to fail in order to grab your position. Remind yourself of this continuously and you will find yourself out of that bubble.
  • It’s important to assess your own abilities and be honest with yourself rather than being overconfident. I have seen people who are confident with their academics end up with poor grades. Don’t undermine yourself but don’t even overestimate yourself. Remember you are surrounded by geniuses.
  • Don’t get addicted to useless stuff and activities that waste your time. Instead, go for a walk or read for a break.
  • You should have prepared yourself mentally and physically for the sacrifices you have to make and the efforts you have to invest.
  • Study books that make you understand the concepts in a simpler manner yet give you a comprehensive understanding.
  • Motivate yourself with the possible outcome and the reaction of your family. Keep yourself reminded of the happiness and success will harbor.

I would like to end the answer on a final note: There are no non-geniuses, just bad students who do not pay attention in class and bad teachers who do not teach well.

Which is the best course in Thiagarajar College of Engineering?

MS
Mayank Singh Posted On : May 19th, 2021
BE Mechanical Engineering, Thiagarajar College of Engineering

Your subject preference should be completely based on what you are interested in. But CSE, EEE, and ECE are some of the popular courses at Thiagarajar College of Engineering.

ECE or EEE:

  • There is a Technology Business Incubator set-up on the campus, the TIFAC-CORE is only available at fewer places in India. It is a center of excellence for wireless technologies and is an anechoic chamber for several antenna testings and characterizations. 
  • This is the reason why opting for either ECE or EEE specializations can be the best. Not only you will have great exposure theoretically, but practically as well.

CSE or IT:

  • Opting for either CSE or IT can also be a good choice as well since they have the highest placement records over time, and several top-tier companies visit the campus placements, such as Amazon, Microsoft, Uber, Google, and various more. 
  • Alongside, Thiagarajar College of Engineering (TCE) has achieved the Best Student Branch Award for the CSE department by the Computer Society of India. Thus, it can be a brilliant choice to go for. 
  • Also, TCE has collaborated with multinational companies like Yahoo and Honeywell, and they provide great opportunities to the students.

These are some of the things that you should consider while choosing the right branch for you.

Which colleges in DU allow inter college migrations?

AS
Agasthya Sen Posted On : October 10th, 2022
Studied at University of Delhi

To migrate, you must obtain a NOC (no objections certificate) from both your current college and the college to which you wish to transfer.

If you are a bright student, your principal is unlikely to grant you NOC. 

If you are an average student, the college where you want to go will not give you a NOC. Justice believes that it is practically a gain for the principal to accept an average student into his college.

Let's get to the point where we migrate when there are open seats in the college we want to attend. However, CBCS was implemented at DU in 2015, and no student will be failed under CBCS.

Even if a student fails, he will be allowed to continue to the next semester. It is up to the individual whether or not he clears his paper by taking improvement exams.

So, while migration in DU appears to be simple, it is now nearly impossible.

DA
Dikhsha Agarwal Posted On : May 5th, 2022
PGDM Business Management, Xavier School of Management (2020)

XLRI is the better option among these. The institute has a strong industry presence. According to the recent highlights, XLRI placements are pretty good. During the 2022 placement drive, the average CTC offered was INR 30.73 LPA. While the highest CTC offered was INR 60 LPA. 

XLRI is widely reputed across the country. If you check the credentials of multinational brands operating in India, most of them are XLRI alumni. 

Student life at XLRI is much better compared to IIM L. The personality development programs of XLRI are pretty good and help students gain management and leadership traits. IIM L has a more traditional approach toward academics.

My academics are 65% 75%. Is there any chance to get a call from IIM Calcutta or Bangalore?

AP

Having a superhero life, waiting for an arch-rival

If you have a 99 percentile or higher, you have a good chance of getting a call from IIM Calcutta. Many students with less than 60% are enrolled in IIM C.

IIM Bangalore is unlikely because they place a high value on the profile.

The only thing you can do right now is to perform effectively on the CAT and improve your profile. Attempt to improve your CAT score. Do a variety of certifications to raise your profile. Never waste your valuable time worrying about your academic performance. What has been done is done, you cannot change it.

What is the standard of questions that are set in IISER aptitude tests?

MD
Madhuri Dasgupta Posted On : October 22nd, 2021
BS-MS from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune (2021)

A few of my friends have taken the IISER aptitude test and according to them, the difficulty level of the questions asked is equal to or less than JEE Mains level. They are mostly conceptual and there will be very few numerical questions. 

IISER aims to test your conceptual understanding rather than your problem-solving skills. 

  • Maths - If you are preparing for JEE Advanced, then the questions usually asked in the maths section for the IISER aptitude test will be quite easy for you. 
  • Physics - You can easily solve most of the questions if your basics are clear. The question also won’t require you to do lengthy calculations. Physics questions are usually at the JEE Mains level.
  • Chemistry - For Chemistry too, the questions will test your conceptual clarity. 
  • Biology - Reading NCERT textbooks will be sufficient to score well in Biology. 

So, to score well in the IISER aptitude test, thoroughly read your 11th and 12th textbooks.
