SR
Sayantan Ray Posted On : July 27th, 2023
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur (IITJ) (Graduated 2021)

Honestly, IIT Jodhpur has very few gem professors. My sister who studies there mentioned 2 of her favorite professors and why she considered them a gem

Shanmuganathan Raman: He deserves all the love and respect he gets from his students because of the kind of teacher he is.

  • His knowledge of his subject is excellent, sometimes leaving you speechless.
  • He has a great rapport with the students and you will be surprised to know that he remembers every student's name.
  • His South Indian accent is very charming and humorous.
  • His classes are intriguing and you won’t be bored even for a minute.
  • His explanations of the concepts are what makes most students his fan.

Kiran Kumar Hiremath: As a whole, he is somewhat like Raman sir only.

  • He has a very charming smile and he has a sweet nature.
  • He is proficient in his subject and delivers the concepts excellently.
  • He maintains a friendly bond with students often lightening the classroom tension with his jokes
  • He is a person filled with enthusiasm and gives off positive vibes during the lectures that motivate the students.
  • He adopts a decent grading system.

Additionally, she also mentioned Vivek Vijay sir who is a mentor to many students.

Do freshers get ragged in NALSAR?

RU
Ritika Upadhay Posted On : September 8th, 2021
Studied at NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad (2017)

Ragging is something one should not do and not let that happen with others if you see. But, still, there are few cases here and there of ragging but at a minor level, which is not seen anywhere now except a few.

Nowadays, the administration has become noticeably stricter on the subject of senior-junior interaction in the last few years. “Positive Interaction” has become much more positive, instead of some unwarranted interaction.

  • Moreover, there are many seniors on campus who would love to help you out in your first few days on campus. 
  • One of my friends, who was in his fifth year, reached out to his junior and helped him with his queries.
  • One thing unique about NALSAR is that it has a great institutional set up that builds senior-junior relationships in the form of Tutorship.
  • They also help you out with moots, papers, projects, and in a variety of informal ways.

My friend did tell me that some of his tutors had been the most influential factor in his life. I hope you meet your share of favorite seniors too who would not only help you but guide you overall.

Which is best Miranda House or LSR?

RM
Roshni Mishra Posted On : June 4th, 2022
B.Sc. Hons. Chemistry from Miranda House, University of Delhi (2019)

Both Miranda House and LSR are reputed colleges of DU, and have made significant contributions to women’s education in the country. You should choose one of these two colleges, based on the course of your choice. Miranda House is known for its science courses and LSR is the best college for arts. 

MH and LSR offer unique campus life. If you want to experience the much-talked-about DU campus life, choose MH. You can gate-crash into fests and events of other colleges of DU. LSR is more posh, infrastructure-wise, and offers an enviable campus experience.

Are donations accepted in Symbiosis School of Economics?

SK
Saloni Kaur Posted On : July 7th, 2021
B.Sc (Hons) Economics, Symbiosis School of Economics, Pune (2017)

My cousin is in SSE and clearly it doesn’t allow anyone to enroll easily. You will notice that the merit list overflows easily. If you get in with merit, then congratulations you will pay the regular official fees; however, if you get in through the management quota, then you will have to pay double the fees mentioned on the official website.

Secondly, there is a SET score, which you must take seriously because it's not a part of a formal procedure. Rather, it is requisite for the admission process. My cousin was literally saved because of his SET score.

Lastly, the admission committee grills you to check whether you qualify to be a part of the Symbiosis club or not. You need good contacts to get into the program because if you're interested in BBA, you'll see how the privileged kids get in quickly through contacts.

Focus on your SET, Interview preparation, and the WAT which you can easily practice online. In the interview, loosen up a bit and introduce yourself with confidence. Be honest and carry proof of everything you claim.

Is MIT Manipal a good college for hard workers, or is it just for rich spoiled brats?

SV
Shyam Verma Posted On : September 8th, 2023
Computer Science, and Engineering, MIT Manipal

No, it’s just a preconceived notion that MIT has only rich spoiled kids and no one is serious about academics here. Not everyone you find here is rich some are hardworking students who are studying hard to repay the loan they had to take for its high fees. MIT has several active student clubs and many students are involved in technical stuff day and night. 

Manipal also has “Student Projects” wherein every student project comprises a small and talented team of students with similar interests and passion for building something big, be it Robots, Cars, Satellites, Rovers, or Drones.

Some of the major student projects are:

  1. Project Manas - Build a self-driving car.
  2. RoboManipal - Makes robots and competes with various robotics teams in India.
  3. Solar Mobil - Trying to make a fully solar-powered car.

There are many other students' projects too. The purpose of mentioning this is to highlight the kind of academic exposure and opportunities this institute has. The CS students actively participate in collecting and analyzing the data from their surroundings and work very hard to achieve their goals. 

Manipal caters to almost everything, be it Developing mobile applications, building websites, writing, or even a start-up. It also provides facilities for participating in MOOCs or Online courses or Competitive coding. The well-stocked Central Library is home to many hardworking students. 

Ultimately, MIT is not only for the rich kids but also caters to the hardworking ones. It’s you who will decide what you reap here!

What is it like to study Textile Technology at IIT Delhi?

SM
Subhashree Modak Posted On : April 3rd, 2023
B.Tech. from Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (2020)

IIT Delhi Textile department is still in its infancy and unfortunately, is one of the least demanded branches. The scope and opportunities offered are meager. To put it rightly, it does not do justice to the brand name of IIT Delhi.

  • During the orientation itself, it’s revealed how almost the entire batch wants to get their branch changed eventually
  • The department is located far away from the main campus and other major departments and this segregation is quite demotivating 
  • The course material is not up to the standards of IIT Delhi and the tremendous coursework just adds to the misery 
  • The students mug up the concepts mostly rather than understanding them 
  • The lab work is monotonous and the research opportunities are limited
  • The teachers are extremely retarded investing zero effort in increasing the quality of teaching or making it more lively 
  • Most importantly, the placement scenario of this department is pathetic with no good company ready to recruit students for this branch

Many people think that this branch might somehow open opportunities for them if they involve themselves in extracurricular activities and so but then the entire purpose of the department is negated. Still, for the most desperate, this might be the only option. So, it’s advisable to go to this branch only if it’s the last option you have.

Am I making a mistake by preferring IISER Kolkata over IIT Kharagpur MSc Integrated Physics?

MR
Malabika Roychowdhury Posted On : December 21st, 2021
BS-MS Dual Degree Biology & Junior Research Fellow, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata

No, it is not a mistake to prefer IISER Kolkata over IIT KGP for an MSc integrated course in Physics. You are going to get a pure science degree so it makes more sense to get the degree from an institute that focuses on that degree. IIT KGP is popular for its engineering degrees. So, you will be mostly surrounded by people who are pursuing engineering degrees. You won’t get to meet many like-minded students. The course structure of integrated MSc at IITs is also outdated. 

At IISER Kolkata, you will get a decent course structure and better faculties for an integrated MSc.

Which are the best hang-out places for students on campus in BITS Goa?

SG
Saurav Ghose Posted On : August 3rd, 2021
Studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

I have a friend at BITS Goa and he told me about some of the hangout places near campus.

Zuari Lake is located within a 10-minute walk from the campus. Although this lake is private property, nobody will stop you from going in. There are foods and snacks available around the lake site. You can hang out in this location in the evening.

Other than that students also hang out at Bogmalo and on the Tennis court. On the campus, there are various food joints like Mongi, ice, and spice. The students generally hang out and spend time in these locations. Debates and group discussions also take place in these locations. In hectic schedules, the students generally have meetings on the balconies of the A and C wings.

A small children’s park is there on the campus which is also a hangout place for college students.

Is it hard to get into IIM Indore?

PS
Pranjal Shankar Posted On : August 25th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Indore (2018)

One of my cousins graduated from IIM Indore and having read online reviews here are some facts that might answer your question. All the IIMs are very different in their way.

IIM Ranchi is known for HR, IIM Kozhikode is known for its blend in entrepreneurship, similarly, IIM Indore has a different set of variables for it.

IIM Indore is one of the top viewed IIMs in India standing at number 5. Being ranked as the top 7 IIM by NIRF, IIM Indore is widely known for its emphasis on academic records.

You should secure at least 80% in your academic records of 10th, 12th, and Graduation to seek a call with a decent percentile in the CAT exam. Around 95 percentile, especially for the General category. But if you don't have a good percentile before, at least score 99 percentile in the CAT exam to receive the call.

If you do not score well in the CAT exam, it might get a bit difficult for you to get admission. If you manage everything else, make sure you are well prepared for the GD-PI round. This will determine your final selection.
