How is CSE placement in IIT ISM Dhanbad? My son's advanced rank is 907. He wants to study CSE. IIT Indore is very remote from our place in WB. He is going to IIT ISM Dhanbad. Will it be a good choice

lives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

You will be amazed to know that my friend in IIT ISM Dhanbad has got a pre-placement offer from Amazon. So you can get an idea of the placement scenario here.

IIT ISM Dhanbad has been ranked 14 by NIRF. The recent years have welcomed many internship and placement offers from companies. Owing to the excellent coding culture the CSE placements here are 100% every year. 

However, your son’s rank is too good for IIT ISM Dhanbad and thus I am recommending some better options for him.

  • Guwahati - Mathematics and Computing
  • IIT BHU - Computer Science (Dual Degree)
  • IIT Madras - Electrical Engineering

Remember your education matters more than the distance between your home and college. Big achievements require big sacrifices.

Which IIIT is better, IIIT Surat, IIIT Bhopal, or IIIT Lucknow? Why?

PS
Prashant Sharma Posted On : March 16th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science Engineering, Indian Institute Of Information Technology Bhopal (2021)

As all of them are IIITs they are known to have a similar level of curriculum. However, my cousins are currently studying at IIIT Lucknow and IIIT Bhopal. Their honest opinions state that IIIT Lucknow is the best choice among all of them because of the following reasons:

  • The first batch of IIIT Lucknow is placed and none of the other IIITs mentioned has witnessed a single placement season yet. Placements of IIIT Lucknow were so great which is rare for an institute participating in placements for the first time.
  • The permanent campus for IIIT Lucknow is almost ready while for IIIT Bhopal and Surat, the work for construction is yet to start. My cousin is a 1st-year student of IIIT Lucknow and also the very first batch of the newly built permanent campus of IIIT Lucknow.
  • The coding culture at IIIT Lucknow is the best among all the newly built IIITS.
  • Seniors are extremely supportive and Workshops are being conducted by them already.
  • You may face some problems due to not having enough resources as it is a new campus, but so will be the same for other new IIITS.
  • And lastly, Lucknow being a metropolitan city will give you a lot of advantages, with metro being started and Campus being in the city itself.

Although quality education is common in all of these IIITs, IIIT Lucknow holds an edge over the others. The points mentioned above may prove to be minor for some of you but for many people out there, these points matter a lot and might have cleared a lot of confusion in your mind.

What are the ECE department professors like at the Heritage Institute of Technology?

SD
Sandip Dasgupta Posted On : September 17th, 2021
Bachelor of Technology Electronics and Communication Engineering ,Heritage Institute of Technology,Kolkata

One of my friends is an alumnus of the ECE department at Heritage Institute of Technology. Here is what he had to say about the faculties of the department.

Dr. Prabir Banerjee, Dr. Anindya Sen, Dr. Sambhu Nath Biswas, Dr. Sayantan Dhar, Dr. Shounak Dasgupta, Dr. Srabanti Pandit, Dr. Kasturi Mukherjee, Dr. Mousiki Kar, and Dr. Soumyo Chatterjee are all excellent mentors if you wish to go into the field of researching.

Not everyone who excels in research also excels in teaching, but some do, and some are absolutely exceptional.

Professors will be intra-departmental, whether you are a student enrolled in an undergraduate or a postgraduate program. Your Professors will be extremely important throughout the fourth year of your undergraduate program at Heritage. 

Make sure you get connected with someone who can assist you in completing your Projects. The Final Year Project will be one of the most crucial tasks for an MS or MBA after your undergraduate education, or for an off-campus job application. Choosing prudently and, most importantly, having a doctorate to assist you will go a long way.

What are the worst things about Pune University?

RS
Rohit Sharma Posted On : September 24th, 2021
Studied at Savitribai Phule Pune University

I have a few friends from Pune University and here are some of the things that they complain about.

Name: First and foremost, there is the name. The name "Pune University" was well-known in India at a time, but not now. If a student walks into an interview with a degree from "Savitribai Phule Pune University," the interviewer has no idea that this is the same Pune University.

Administrative structure: With a few exceptions, being an Indian university has the same old administrative structure. Every time there is a delay in the examination results and everything else is official. The majority of the staff in all the university's offices are uncooperative.

Official website: It is extremely slow. Almost always, there is a server problem. The library's online portal never opens. Nobody will find the notice of their interest in time because the notices, events, and news section is so poorly maintained.

College campus: Despite being one of the greenest and largest campuses I've ever seen, the vastness overpowers the beauty. There are no proper directional signs. Every new student on campus often gets lost in the campus's maze of roads. If you just want a cup of tea, you'll have to walk for about 10-15 minutes.

Professors: There are very few departments where students are fortunate to have good teachers. Otherwise, the majority of teachers are not very good.

Curriculum: In comparison to other universities, the syllabus is not that good. Universities in West Bengal and Delhi, for example, have a much higher level of curriculum at the graduate and undergraduate levels. As a result, students from these areas outperform Phulites in competitive exams and interviews. In addition, the syllabus is also ill-organized.

These are some of the things that you need to know before choosing Pune University.

Is it necessary to register or pay fees for 2nd year in the 1st year itself for an IGNOU programme?

VS
Vikrant Singh Posted On : October 19th, 2022
Student at Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) (2019-present)

You do not have to necessarily pay your fees in the first year itself. If you do, you will benefit a lot from it. So yes it’s a luxury, not a necessity.

At IGNOU, you have to pay fees for only 2 years even if you take 5 years to complete the course. IGNOU exam fees are payable every time you appear, per course basis. Keep in mind that practical and theoretical exam fees are different for the same course.

Your course has a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 5 years of eligibility. It can be convenient if you deposit your fees for the second year and then opt for the exams within the stipulated 5 years. The major benefit will be that you become eligible to appear for exams in both years.

Keep the following points in mind regarding your eligibility to appear for an exam at IGNOU

  • You should have been registered for a course which is only possible after fee deposition.

  • After registering you should have completed the semester/year allocated.

  • Assignments must be submitted

  • Attendance must be complete (only if necessary)

  • The maximum period of registration validity for a 2-year programme is 5 years

  • You can appear for any course in any order.

  • If you have paid the fees for the 2nd year as well, you are free to merge both courses.

 Simply, by registering for the 2nd year as well, you become eligible to complete your course anytime within 5 years. It does not matter if you do not appear on your first-year exams or do not complete your assignments. You can do it conveniently within 5 years.

What should be the range of rank in the KVPY to secure admission in IISER?

AG
Aditya Guha Posted On : October 22nd, 2021
BS-MS from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhopal (2020)

It’s not possible to answer this definitively as IISERs don’t make information regarding cut-off public. But entry to IISER through KVPY is easier compared to other gateways like the IISER Aptitude Test. 

One of my friends was selected for KVPY SX in 2017. At the time of college choices, his options were Pune, Kolkata, TVM, Tirupati. He finally got IISER Kolkata. 

According to him, if you get a KVPY fellowship, there is a good chance that you will get into an IISER. But going by the trends of the last few years, you will need a rank below 600, in order to get IISER Pune.
