Do VMMC MBBS students have secured seats for PG in VMMC?
No, VMMC MBBS students do not have secured seats for PG in VMMC. Here is how the internal quota of the university works
Once the students complete their UG course from their college, they're eligible for the internal quota of PG seats of their University and not the specific college. This means that the internal quota is for the university and not the college. In your case, the internal PG quota belongs to IPU and not VMMC. So, Students of all the colleges under IPU are eligible for IPU PG seats.
Earlier there was only VMMC (UG) under it, Mao PG seats were easily available in VMMC and RML, so the seats were kind of secured. But with more and more colleges under IPU, the PG quota of IPU too has lost much of its value.
So, the VMMC MBBS students don't have secured PG seats.
Why would someone choose Shiv Nadar University over IIT Kanpur?
Despite being IIT Kanpur, a whole brand, many prefer SNU over it. There are multiple reasons why people would choose a private institute over a government-funded institute.
- SNU is a multidisciplinary research-oriented university. Being fully interdisciplinary, it allows students of every branch to choose from a wide range of minor electives covering fields ranging from Physics, Maths, Economics, Dance, and Data Analytics to History, Sociology, Communications, Management, and many others. So you are able to pursue more than one field at once irrespective of the branch you belong to.
- SNU has a research-centric approach and even UGC has verified this. It has managed to give a high research output across various fields worth over Rs. 30 Crore.
- SNU is well known for its top-notch Infrastructure and amenities including hostel and mess facilities that are better than IIT Kanpur.
Being a new university, SNU cannot be found in the recent rankings but it soon will surpass other institutes.
Which is better, the Xavier School of Management (XLRI), or the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIMC)?
For HR career aspirants, XLRI is unquestionably the best in Asia; for non-HR candidates, IIMC is by far the better option.
The Benefits of IIMC Over XLRI:
-
In comparison to XL, the IIM tag is more well-known outside of India.
-
A larger batch means a greater number of successful alumni worldwide.
-
It increases the number of marquee recruiters in finance, consulting, marketing, systems, and operations. The alum network is extremely strong in finance and consulting, including leading HR consulting firms.
-
After living in Jamshedpur for two years, one can appreciate it even more because it is located in one of the metros.
-
XLRI loses companies despite being a good BSchool because many marquee recruiters do not want to visit Jamshedpur, which is not well-connected.
-
In comparison to some B-schools, XLRI has a lower percentage of IIT/BITS students in its batch.
The Benefits of XLRI Over IIMC
-
A smaller batch size promotes better bonding among batchmates.
-
Gender diversity is astounding.
-
Because the majority of HR heads in respected companies attended XLRI, their placement can reach almost any company.
-
Because of the small batch size, even the worst performers (purely from a placement standpoint, not academically) get decent jobs, which is not possible at any of the top IIMs with larger batch sizes.
-
One of the world's largest private equity funds recruits one summer intern exclusively from XLRI every year in India, which could be a very important criterion if one has that kind of profile.
IIM Calcutta and XLRI share more cultural similarities than IIM C and IIM A or B.
What is your review of Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU)?
One of my friends recently graduated from Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU). According to her, it is better to do anything rather than joining this institute. She mentioned some of the reasons that made her feel this way.
- The institute only focuses on making money and not actual education.
- The syllabus and curriculum followed by the institute are outdated.
- Practical training is not properly given, making students lag behind the industry demands.
- Basic things like a proper academic calendar are not provided.
- Re-evaluation is time-consuming and usually not done properly.
- A 60% from SPPU is not considered good enough for admission to other colleges. They do not consider it as first class.
- They are known to have the worst and uncooperative staff members. They are not at all helpful or considerate about any problem.
It is suggested that you do not opt for SPPU as they are highly unprofessional. They do not have a proper way to conduct classes, assemblies, extracurricular activities and get involved in everything half-heartedly. SPPU is a good example of how a university should be not.
Is Lucknow University good for B Tech?
Lucknow University is renowned to offer a bunch of different courses, within which B.Tech is a freshly inaugurated branch that started anew in the year 2017.
- Since it is extremely new in cases alike, the placements are not highly fruitful at present. In light of this fact, there is currently no alumni network as well.
- Unlike many other universities, you are expected to work harder than anticipated, so as to grab a position in the job sector.
- Your career essentially depends upon how ready you are to prepare in the best way possible.
- No amount of external guidance can assist you in gaining a fruitful career prospect, let alone the university. Prepare thoroughly while pursuing any course you are inclined towards.
- You can also choose to prepare for either of the major competitive exams, GATE, CAT, IES among others.
Moreover, only choose Lucknow University if you are devoid of any options. Other than that, there is absolutely no issue in joining Lucknow University.
What is your daily schedule in IIIT Hyderabad?
My uncle is a faculty member at IIIT Hyderabad. He resides at the IIIT Hyderabad campus itself and his office is a 7 minute walk from his residence. This is a breakdown of his activities-
- He reaches the office at around 10 am if he has no class for the day. On days that he does have a class, he prefers to prepare for it at home, in a distraction free setup. Faculty members usually handle 1 to 2 courses per semester, and rarely more than 3 courses per year.
- He prepares for around 5 hours for a 1.5 hour lecture, unless he has taught the topic twice before. He has to teach for 2 days a week.
- Apart from this, he holds meetings with his students. He holds typically 1-2 meetings that are 1.5 hours long, mostly on non-teaching days.
- On an average, half an hour of his day goes into faculty meetings, committee meetings, etc.
- Another half an hour (on an average) a day is spent in preparing quizzes and problem sets for his classes.
- Occasionally, proposal writing and paper evaluation demand his attention.
- He devotes an average of 2 hours a day to work on his research problems and on his students’ problems. On days that he is free from other commitments, he devotes more time to problem solving work.
- Other than these 6-7 hours of work a day, he spends the rest of his time in leisure and fun activities and exercising.
- It's a general breakdown of his activities rather than a strict daily schedule. Faculty members have a weekly rather than a daily schedule.
Thus, as a faculty member at IIIT Hyderabad, my uncle’s days are quite busy and productive.

Which topic is the most important for the CSIR UGC NET in life sciences?
CSIR UGC NET exam for Life Sciences is a highly competitive exam that requires a comprehensive understanding of various topics in the field. It is difficult to pinpoint one specific topic as the most important for the exam, as the questions can come from a wide range of areas. However, here are some important topics to focus on while preparing for the CSIR UGC NET exam in Life Sciences:
- Cell Biology: This includes the structure and functions of cells, organelles, cell division, cell signaling, and cellular communication.
- Molecular Biology: This includes the structure and functions of DNA, RNA, and proteins, genetic regulation, gene expression, DNA replication, and genetic engineering.
- Biotechnology: This includes applications of biotechnology, techniques and tools used in biotechnology, and ethical considerations in biotechnology.
- Genetics and Evolution: This includes Mendelian genetics, population genetics, mechanisms of evolution, evolutionary genetics, and genomics.
- Ecology: This includes the study of ecosystems, community ecology, population ecology, biogeochemical cycles, and conservation biology.
- Physiology: This includes the study of functions of different organs and organ systems, homeostasis, and physiological adaptations.
- Immunology: This includes the immune system, immune response, and immunological techniques.
It is important to have a thorough understanding of the concepts and principles related to these topics, as well as the ability to apply them to solve problems. Additionally, practicing past papers and mock tests can help you get a feel for the type of questions that are asked in the exam and improve your time management skills.
Is the Dera Bassi campus of Thapar University equivalent to Patiala Campus? Is it worth the fees?
In all honesty, the answer to both these questions is No.
Initially, this setup was present in the main campus itself as School of Behavioral Studies. Later on, it was shifted to Dera Bassi as LMTSOM. The Patiala campus offers much more facilities and exposure to its students.
Moreover, the Patiala campus is located in the heart of Patiala city. On the other hand, the Dera Bassi campus is located in the middle of a village, that too in a secluded area. The fee structure is almost similar at both the campuses. It mainly depends on the course. Moreover, fee is not the primary concern in this case. There are other more important factors that you must not overlook.
Personally, I wouldn’t recommend the Dera Bassi campus of Thapar University.
