How is the hostel facility (girls) at MSU, Baroda?

SD
Sagar Dave Posted On : December 29th, 2022
B.A in Psychology, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda

There are 4 hostels for girls;

  1. Pandita Gargi hall (PG)
  2. Kasturba Gandhi hall (KG)

3.Sarojini naidu devi hall (SD)

  1. Hansa Mehta hall (HM)

My friend is a pass out of MSU and she claims Hansa Mehta hall to be one of the best hostels. Some hostel facilities include

  • Housing and food are extremely affordable for anyone. Hostel fees are around Rs.7000 yearly. 
  • Every hostel has its own mess and canteen. Food quality is average but provided at a very nominal price.
  • Hostel rooms are good, well-ventilated, and spacious. 
  • You will be sharing the room with 4 other girls. Despite that, you will have your own bed, cupboard, table, chair, and other facilities.
  • Rooms are cleaned by the maids every alternative day so you don't have to worry about hygiene at all.
  • Each wing has 20 rooms and 5 common toilets and bathrooms. The condition of the bathrooms is average.
  • The hostel has a 24/7 wi-fi facility.
  • The location of the hostel is what makes it the most convenient one. Located in the center of the city it is surrounded by the railway station, bus station, mall, and local market. So you don't have to spend much money and time on transportation.

All these facilities make it the cheapest, safest, and best option for girls.

Is it a good choice to prefer IIT Delhi textile over IIIT Delhi CSE, considering the fact that branch change is quite hard in IITD?

SS
Savi Sharma Posted On : October 4th, 2023

IIT Delhi has a much greater brand value as compared to IIIT Delhi. IIT D is superior in many aspects, one of which is campus life. 

I have many friends in IITD Textile. They bagged foreign internships in the IT sector during their second year.

The coursework for Textile is very manageable. You’ll get ample time to practice coding on your own. Don’t worry about branch change. Even for a career in CS/IT, self-practice will get you through. Also, opt for the open electives offered at IIT Delhi. You’ll ace CS/IT placement tests, and secure a good job.

Thus, I would recommend you choose IIT Delhi Textile over IIIT Delhi CSE.

How can an AIIMS Delhi student go to John Hopkins after an MBBS? Can you explain the whole procedure?

OR
Ojas Reddy Posted On : June 3rd, 2023
Studies at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (2024)

Pursuing MD/MS in India after completing your MBBS is called Residency and for the exact same thing, the exam in the US is USMLE. In order to get into John Hopkins after an MBBS, 

  • Excellent scores in MLE, 
  • An impressive CV 
  • Valid recommendations.

On average, JHU takes 1-2 international students every session for Residency from all over the globe. There is no fixed procedure for exceptional cases. Most AIIMS students working in JHU complete their residency in the US and worked extraordinarily hard to join elite institutes like JHU as doctors.

Why do Christian institutes like CMC Vellore, St. Johns, etc. have so much Christian quota?

A
Admin Posted On : May 3rd, 2024

CMC Vellore is a Christian minority institution. This is why the majority of its MBBS and PG seats are reserved for Christian candidates.

I am a non-Christian, and I completed my MBBS from CMC Vellore in 2021. Though CMC Vellore has a Christian-based reservation system for admissions into MBBS, certain seats are open to meritorious candidates of all faiths. 

This is the MBBS seat distribution system at CMC Vellore:

  • Management Quota- 50% seats are reserved for management quota candidates. These seats are divided into three categories-
    • Open Category Seats
    • Christian Minority Seats
    • CMC Vellore Staff Quota Seats
  • Government Quota- 50% seats fall under the government quota. Out of these-
    • 30% seats are allocated by the State Government on the basis of the State Merit list of NEET examination.
    • 20% seats are allocated by the State Government to Christian Minority candidates from Tamil Nadu.

You can refer to the following seat distribution data from the 2024 Admission Bulletin of CMC Vellore-

CMC MBBS Seats

Out of 100 MBBS seats at CMC Vellore, 68 are reserved for Christian students. However, the remaining seats are open to students of other faiths as well.

How would you rate IIM Lucknow - Noida Campus for PGP course?

JP
John Praveen Posted On : January 6th, 2023
M.B.A from Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (Graduated 2018)

My friend is currently pursuing the EGMP program and has a lot to say about it. Although the primary campus of IIM Lucknow is in Lucknow, all the Executive Education Programs are conducted at the Noida Campus which is the secondary campus.

The quality of the curriculum and pedagogy remains the same for the regular PGP courses and EGMP courses. The same learned faculty teaches at both campuses. Even the study material and curriculum are the same.

Moreover, once you have completed the program successfully you will be granted a certificate for the completion from IIM Lucknow with an alumni status. But these programs have no placements. Except for IPMX, all the other Executive Education Programs lack placements.

My friend is very happy with the course content and the quality of education offered. Infact, some of the IIM Lucknow professors are guest lecturers in some of the best B schools in India and abroad.

How is Hindustan University for aerospace engineering?

AM
Anita Mukherjee Posted On : April 8th, 2021
B.Tech in chem. Eng. from Hindustan University (2020)

One of my friends studies at Hindustan University. So, I know a little bit about the institute. 

Hindustan University is recognized as a great platform for Aerospace Engineering. But the institute owes its reputation to the students who go out of their way to excel in academics without much help from the institute.

According to my friend’s experience, the institute does not offer support of any kind, be it lab equipment, leniency in attendance, or time.

  • The institute charges high fines for low attendance.
  • It also has a dress code for the laboratory which is quite uncomfortable. According to authority, it is for the protection of the students. However, there are either computer-related laboratory works or lectures, so there is actually no need for uncomfortable uniforms. 
  • Also, students are not allowed to use most of the equipment in the laboratory. According to authorities, it could be potentially dangerous. 

Overall, at Hindustan University you won’t have many facilities, placement offers, or any kind of support. So, it would be better to opt for other options.

SC
Shreyanshi Chaurasia Posted On : May 11th, 2021
MBA Human Resources and Digital Marketing, Amity University, Lucknow (2018)

Each and every University has its own positive and negative aspects which makes it unique. Let's go through a few of these aspects in order to conclude if Amity University is the perfect institute for you or not.

Positive aspects:

  • You must maintain 75% attendance by any means or else you won't be allowed to take exams. You will end up attending most of the classes and ultimately will be benefited.
  • You will get amazing exposure at this University as numerous seminars, conferences are held frequently and a lot of guest lecturers visit the campus.
  • Faculties are highly qualified but teaching skills few are average.
  • You will get ample industrial exposure as you get to meet a lot of people from various industries during different interactive sessions.
  • The curriculum is up-to-date and us framed according to the latest industrial requirements. You even have a choice to opt for your favorite subject in certain areas.
  • Examinations are not too difficult and you can score well without having to mug up the whole book. Management studies are majorly based on case studies and it's quite easy to understand.
  • Placement records are pretty good. Top companies like Colgate, Reliance Jio, Kent RO, ICICI, Vodafone visit the campus.

Negative aspects:

  • Hands-on sessions and case studies are barely conducted in class. 
  • Fees are quite high compared to the ROI.
  • One must be self-motivated and you won't get much external push. But if you approach faculties on your own, they will definitely help you out.
  • Not much peer-to-peer learning could be seen.
  • Internal assessments are very informal and marks are given randomly without any parameters.

If you are a strong-motivated individual who doesn't give in to peer pressure, Amity University is the perfect institute for you as the opportunities are countless. Certainly there are few negative aspects like obsolete systems which are common in most of the Universities.

How hard is the IGNOU MA in psychology?

DN
Dhruv Nainwal Posted On : October 31st, 2022
MA in Psychology Indira Gandhi National Open university (IGNOU) (Graduated 2019)

The level of difficulty of a program depends on your passion mostly. If you are passionate about learning then an MA in psychology from IGNOU is not that difficult. You can even work while pursuing a Masters.

Firstly attend all classes and complete all practicals. You will be guided by facilitators throughout. This will help you at the time of examinations. Also, the study material provided by IGNOU is very easy so I don’t think overall it will be a difficult ride.
