I have converted to IIM Kashipur but already paid 1 term fee at IIM Sambalpur (no refund). What should I do?
When considering whether or not to pay around 170K for the first term at IIM Sambalpur, it is important to consider the potential financial loss and weigh it against the potential benefits.
In terms of placements, it is true that IIM Kashipur may have an upper edge, however, it is important to note that this difference will likely only make a significant impact on the top 10% of the batch. For the majority of students, the placements at both IIM Sambalpur and IIM Kashipur will likely be similar. Additionally, when considering future entitlements, it is important to remember that both IIM Kashipur and IIM Sambalpur are relatively new institutes, so the location may not hold as much value in the long term as building a strong personal profile.
It is ultimately up to you to decide whether or not you are willing to potentially lose the money, and if so, to not stress about it too much. On the other hand, if you are not willing to potentially lose the money, it is also important not to regret the decision in the long run.
I have converted to IIM Kashipur but already paid 1 term fee at IIM Sambalpur, with no refund. What should I do?
Go for it if you can afford to lose the money. If not, don't be disappointed. Just consider placements for the evaluation, as the location and life are both beautiful. Placements at IIM Kashipur have an obvious advantage, but only for the top 10% of the batch will it make a significant difference. Otherwise, you'll do well at both locations.
Furthermore, if you're looking for future entitlement, it makes little difference. IIM Kashipur is the newest, and IIM Sambalpur is the youngest. If you build a strong profile for yourself, the location between these two IIMs will not hold much value in the future. As a result, if you can afford to lose the money, do so without hesitation. If you can't afford to lose that money, forget it and you will have no regrets.
Which is better: VIT Vellore or BIT Sindri?
I am a B.Tech CSE student at VIT Vellore, while my elder brother studies at BIT Sindri. Therefore, I can offer a more unbiased insight into why I chose VIT Vellore for my engineering studies-
- Infrastructure- Both the institutions have a huge campus, but in terms of infrastructure, VIT Vellore is better. Its labs are modern and well equipped, whereas BIT’s labs are old and require maintenance.
- Placements- VIT delivers better packages. Moreover, it is a better choice for IT placements. On the other hand, BIT Sindri delivers better core placements with companies like Tata Steel, Tata Hitachi and JSW visiting the departments for recruitments.
- Exposure- VIT offers really good exposure to its students in the form of internships, student exchange programs and training. At BIT Sindri, internship offers are a rare phenomenon. Tata Steel does offer PPOs to BIT students.
- Faculty- The faculty at VIT is more experienced and qualified.
The yearly B.Tech course fee at VIT Vellore is approx. INR 2 lakhs, while that in BIT Sindri is approx. INR 20,000. But VIT offers much better infrastructural facilities and exposure to make up for the huge fee difference.
Due to these reasons, my brother suggested that I pursue my B.Tech CSE at VIT Vellore instead of BIT Sindri.

How do I convert my percentage into CGPA under RGPV University?
Different universities use various conversion methods and grading systems.
In the case of RGPV, the conversion base is 10. If you receive 78% or 78 marks out of 100, your SGPA/CGPA is 7.8 out of 10 according to RGPV. To convert it to Grade Point Average, simply divide the number by ten. Thus, by multiplying by 10, the reversal equivalent percentage can be calculated.
Equivalent Percentage = (SGPA/CGPA) × 10
If you turn over your RGPV Semester Marksheet, you will see a conversion Formula to convert your CGPA/SGPA into the equivalent percentage required in a few exam forms that must be submitted during application time.
If you require an RGPV equivalent percentage conversion form, simply provide a Xerox copy of the back side of your semester mark sheet. There is no need for a complex format or the signature and seal of the university/college head.
The method for calculating SGPA and CGPA is also provided on the back page of the semester mark sheets.
