What should I be prepared for before joining IIT Delhi?
Nothing can prepare you enough for the intense life you will be experiencing at IIT Delhi. Yet, here are a few pointers that might help
- You will see a drastic decline in your rank. Students who were once school toppers will reach the bottom of the class. This is usually because students are chilled after JEE or face massive competition.
- The first-year Physics lecture and lab activities are the most challenging things you will face.
- Never copy your assignments as your professors are way smarter than you think
- Listen to the advice of seniors but pay heed to only the ones that your brain justifies.
- Make sure to use your freedom well and don’t let it become a reason for your downfall
- You might face partiality to a little extent but you must bear with it.
Which is better: MTech in IIT Madras or CSE in NIT Trichy?
The choice of the branch, as well as the Institute, depends on a lot of factors like your personal preferences and the other options you have. It’s difficult to say which is better between the Mechanical Engineering program at IIT Madras and CSE at NIT Trichy, as both are highly reputable institutions with strong engineering programs. Both offer excellent curricula, experienced faculty, and ample opportunities for research and extracurricular activities.
Joining NIT Trichy for CSE is a good choice if
- You are more interested in computer science and software development
- If you are only after the CS roles and placements. The placements of this branch are pretty good at NIT Trichy with the average package at INR 17-24 LPA and placement rate at 98-100%.
- If you want to pursue higher studies in MS
Joining IIT Madras for Mechanical Engineering is a good choice if
- You are looking for an amazing campus life and the IIT tag
- You are open to non-core jobs because core Mechanical jobs are average.
- If you want to start a career in CS by learning to code or taking minor courses in CS
Some other options to consider are
- CSE at IIIT Hyderabad or new IITs
- ECE at IIT Guwahati
- EE at IIT Hyderabad
All these have average packages above 20 LPA and are excellent options. The preference order for branches on the basis of job prospects and the current demands in the market is as follows
CSE > M&C > ECE > EE
All these branches are open to software profiles whereas other branches usually offer non-core profiles even Mechanical. Ultimately, it's important to research both programs and consider your own interests and goals before making a decision.

What is the news about the new campus being constructed for NIT Raipur?
If you have come across the news of the newly constructed for NIT Raipur, don’t bother as this news is nothing but a hoax.
According to the recent Vision 2020 that has been posted on the NIT Raipur website:-
Approximately 200 acres of land have been allocated for NIT Raipur in Rakhi Bharenga village. Therefore, a new campus was going to be built consisting of academic and residential blocks. The campus was going to have a planned layout with all modern amenities and laboratories which can cater to the need for the next 50 years.
The new campus would have had the following minimum infrastructure:-
- Separate hostel for boys & girls with a capacity of 2400 and 1600 respectively and 336 servant quarters.
- 370 quarters for non-teaching/supporting staff.
- Auditorium with a capacity of 1000 people.
- Central library with global data bank.
- The student activity center has a multipurpose hall, reading room, indoor and outdoor game facility with swimming pool and gym, music room, etc.
- High-speed Internet connectivity within the campus and Hostel.
- Uninterrupted power supply.
- Food courts with 24 x 7 services.
- Community center consisting of a shopping complex, bank, post office, ATM booth, public parks, etc.
Also, a student activity center was planned to cater to the needs of increasing student strength. A counseling center has been introduced to help students combat stress and depression and motivate them in their careers.
However, the construction of the new campus for NIT Raipur has been canceled/stopped now because they haven’t cleared the Environment Clearance so the money is now being used to renovate the existing campus. The hoax of the new campus has defamed NIT Raipur exceeding and also affected the rating of the Institute.
Which are other institutions or colleges comparable to NTTF providing practical knowledge?
NTTF is a prestigious private education institution in India, founded by the Indo-Swiss partnership for technical education. Here’s what I got to know after doing some research online.
- There are a few institutes in India providing practical education like NTTF.
- One of the major competitors is GTTC (i.e., Government Tool Room and Training Centre).
- Both the institutes are famous for the Tools Engineering program and offer the same courses.
- The teaching methods are similar, with workshops like NTTF.
- GTTC has an edge over NTTF.
- GTTC is government-authorized. Therefore, you can pursue graduation after your diploma.
Lastly, you get permission to attend the DCET exam, which will help you get into engineering colleges affiliated with Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) or autonomous.
What are the chances of getting an IIM with academics 88/70/65, and how much percentile should I get to get a chance for older IIMs?
It is understandable that your 12th and graduation scores are not up to the mark for the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) A, B, and I. Even IIM L may also be difficult for you to secure a call from because of your low scores. However, it is important for you to know that there are other options available to you. Even though it may be challenging, it is still possible to secure a call from IIM C and IIM K with a very high CAT score of 99.9 or above. Unfortunately, it seems that IIM Shillong may also not be an option for you due to your low score in 12th.
Given this situation, it is advisable for you to give your best effort in preparing for the Common Admission Test (CAT) and also consider appearing for other entrance exams like the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) and the Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT). With a decent CAT score of 99.8 or above, you may have a chance at prestigious institutes like the Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), the Management Development Institute (MDI), and some Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
Additionally, keep in mind that the weightage of the entrance exam and interview is very high for IIFT, so it is important for you to prepare well for that as well.
It is worth mentioning that, although your current scores may seem like a setback, it does not mean that your aspirations should be limited. Keep in mind that there are many other options available, and with hard work and determination, you can still achieve your goals. Remember to keep your head held high and keep pushing forward.
