Like every other college, VSSUT Burla has its own set of cons some of which have been mentioned below 

1. Despite having the best amenities among government colleges, it’s quite lacking as compared to a private college.
2. Being located in the small town of Burla, students of VSSUT have no access to city life. However, it may not be a con necessarily for nature lovers considering the beautiful ambiance and forest-covered hills
3. The pool club is in the backyard of the hostels. 
4. VASUT has a very outdated curriculum but so do most IITs.
5. The administration is very slow and unresponsive.
6. The library of the institute does not have a good ambiance conducive to studying.

Hope you get a fair idea of the cons at VSSUT, Burla.

Honestly, the South Indian food served in Pondicherry cannot be tolerated by North Indians for long because they are not used to the spices and the tamarind. But the bright side is, that Pondicherry has some amazing places serving North Indian and continental food. 

I don't think food is a major obstacle for a North Indian MBBS student at JIPMER. Here is what the food at Pondicherry looks like. 

The above pic shows scrumptious Bread and Chocolate, Auroville. The restaurants in Pondicherry are amazing so food should be your last concern here.

As a North Indian, my friend faced some major language issues, especially at the time of applying for ward leave. Her worst experience was the RHC posting during her internship. She had to interact with people in rural areas who spoke a more complex version of the language.

Overall, North Indians might miss their food and interact with their locals but not regret choosing JIPMER despite that!

The most amazing thing one can experience at IIT Bombay is the amazing student activities conducted throughout the year to maintain the lively environment of the campus. Students invest a lot of time and effort in these activities to give amazing results. The best part of the year is early December when these activities are at their peak due to the break between 2 semesters.

1. A typical day in the week of December begins at 5 am when sports enthusiasts make their way to the sports field to practice for the Inter IIT Sports Meet.
2. At 7 am you will see a group of tired students heading back to their hostels after working the entire night. They are organizers of Mood Indigo or Techfest, IITB's cultural and technical festivals respectively.
3. By 9 am, students have had their breakfast and head to their respective departments for research projects during holidays.
4. By 11 am, a mixed crowd will be seen handing out in the lounges and the student activity center. Some belong to a robotics competition for Techfest or come to a dance or a music group practicing for Mood Indigo.
5. Towards the evening events like public lectures by scientists, debate practices, or quizzes are held. By 9 pm, the sports students are returning while student activity students are going to begin their work.
6. By 11 pm, the hostels are quiet with only those who are working for fests staying awake. Some students can be seen at the canteen around 3 am munching midnight snacks. You can also spot final-year students dressed in formal walking here and there for campus placements.

One of my friends studied at Aryabhatta College. According to him, it is really good. He pursued B.A. with Economics Honours.

• He was also a bit skeptical about the college, but gradually his doubts were cleared.
• The faculty members are highly experienced and very cooperative.
• The seniors were also extremely helpful.
• They have strict rules against ragging.
• The college has various active societies and clubs. 
• They provide necessary facilities like libraries, canteens, etc. 
• The college being in the South campus gives an added advantage to be at par with other evolving and emerging colleges.

It is recommended that you join the college without having any second thoughts. Aryabhatta College was earlier known as RLA (E) but in 2014 the evening college was transformed into a morning college and renamed as Aryabhatta College.

Yes, there is an unofficial annual trip for MAMC 1st year students, usually after the end of 1st Professional Examinations in the month of August. The trip is the perfect break from the tiring exams and is highly looked forward to by the freshers. This trip was initiated by the seniors who also accompanied students on the trip.

However, since the trip is unofficial, the students have to bear all the expenses of travel, stay, adventure activities, and meals.

My friend was a first-year student at MAMC and his batch was taken on a trip spanning Saattal-Mukteshwar-Nainital. They started the journey with a bus and soon reached their first destination. Instead of staying in hotels, they set up tents surrounded by lush greenery and lakes and waterfalls. They even organized a campfire and played all sorts of games. Many adrenaline freaks also took part in adventure sports like Rock climbing, Rappelling, Kayaking, flying fox, etc. 

Overall, it was an amazing experience and I recommend going on the batch trip once with your batchmates.

Yes, there is a fixed formula for CGPA to percentage conversion at MAKAUT. It's pretty simple and you can use it even if you are not very good at Math. The formula is Percentage=(CGPA - 0.75)*10 

let us understand this through an example. If you have a CGPA of 8.25 then your percentage would be : (8.25 - 0.75)*10 

Calculating the above expression, the percentage is equal to 75%. This formula is applicable to every CGPA even 10. A 10 CGPA will be around 92.5 %. The university through its official website has released the following details to make things simpler.
