How do I get a better score in the SOL DU exams?
I have a few friends from SOL DU and here is their advice to get a better score in the examinations.
- It is best that you follow the exam papers of the preceding 10 years to gain better insight into the pattern followed by the examination.
- Following the same, you should reschedule your time and make a good routine.
- It is recommended that you study two subjects per day, allowing extra time when required.
- Most essentially, it is best that you study at least six days per week and try completing one entire subject in a week or less.
- Brush your answer framing skills, alongside making time to solve as many test papers as you possibly can.
Hope this helps answer your question.

Is IIT Hyderabad better than NIT Rourkela?
IIT Hyderabad clearly triumphs over NIT Rourkela because of a number of reasons. Some of the string ones have been stated below
- The research culture at IITs cannot be matched to that of NITs yet. IITs receive huge funds in the range of 5–10 crores, whereas NIT’s average range of research projects is only 10–50 lakhs.
- IIT Hyderabad is a recently established IIT so the infrastructure is new and the hostels are designed using the French design.
- IIT Hyderabad has modern equipment and technologies in all academic blocks and all hostel blocks.
- IIT Hyderabad has strong ties with international universities, especially in Japan and Australia. The students get better exposure and internship opportunities.
- IIT Hyderabad offers the much coveted IIT tag that will open gates of opportunities be it for jobs or higher education.
So, IIT Hyderabad is clearly a better option than NIT Rourkela in terms of everything, education, opportunities, and infrastructure.
How is NIT Agartala CSE? Why is it so underrated?
One of my cousins recently completed his BTech in CSE from NIT Agartala so I have a slight idea about the branch. Many big brands as well as startups visit the campus to recruit students. Students receive internship opportunities both in and outside India. Moreover, many projects were published at conferences in the areas of Machine learning and Natural Language Processing.
NIT Agartala CSE has churned out many successful engineers. Now coming to your question, the reason NIT Agartala is underrated is because of a lack of communication and a preconceived notion that a North-east NIT wouldn't be good enough. The truth is it’s CSE department is facilitated really well and the labs are equipped with modern instruments. The crowd is also very diverse and the overall learning experience is unmatched.
So, it’s better not to degrade any institute based on false notions.
What are the humanities courses that one should do at IIT Delhi?
Usually, two types of people opt for humanities courses. One prefers a laid-back schedule and easy grading while the other prefers challenging coursework and exciting lectures. My friend was kind to opt for a more lively course than spend his classes yawning away. He chose some courses like
- Mind, Machines, and Language
- Language and Communication
- Creative Writing
Another extremely learned professor taught him Science, Society, and Technology. No doubt the course was very rigorous and demanding, but my friend enjoyed the course anyways. There were deep discussions, readings, and assignments which sometimes seemed too hectic, yet the entire process was intriguing and exciting at the same time.
Another course my friend opted for was Moral Literacy and Moral Choices which taught him concepts of Philosophy that none knew about. The course was very interesting. He talked about various thinkers and their philosophical teachings which transformed the students into another world.
All the humanities courses offered at IIT Delhi are intriguing and the parity of professors cannot be doubted. Go for any course that sparks a ray of interest in you!
Should I go to LPU (Lovely Professional University) or Manipal University Jaipur for a B.Tech (IT)?
As a former student of B.Tech IT at LPU, I can only provide information about my own college. Here are a few benefits of joining LPU for your B.Tech IT-
- Scholarships - LPU offers scholarships to those who perform well in 12th grade or various entrance exams. These scholarships continue for the entire B.Tech course. This brings down the course fee for meritorious students by a great extent.
- Placements- The university performs quite well in IT placements. Companies like HTC and Cognizant visit the campus for mass recruitments, and offer decent salary packages to CSE and IT graduates. Other companies recruit a lesser number of students, but they offer handsome salary packages. For a hardworking IT student, LPU offers good placement opportunities.
- Faculty- The IT faculty is decent, and some of the teachers are very good.
- Exposure- LPU is home to students from various parts of the country, and thus, it offers excellent exposure. Each student gets a platform at LPU to enhance their skills and learn new things.
These are some of the many reasons I chose LPU for my B.Tech IT.

Should I take admission in CUSAT?
Whether you should take admitted to CUSAT or not depends on your personal goals and what you are looking for in a university. CUSAT is highly-regarded in India, known for its strong programs in engineering, technology, and science. Its credibility can further be assessed through the ratio of North and South Indian students on the campus which is almost 50:50. This means CUSAT is well known only among South Indians but also among North Indians.
CUSAT has two campuses, one in Cochin SOE and another in Alleppey - CUCEK. The placement scenario is somewhat similar on both campuses.
Before getting admission here, you need to know that the only key to getting placed is good grades and no backs. You won’t be spoon-fed the professor's notes here and will have to survive on your own. If you are enthusiastic, then only come here.
However, you should research more about its program offerings to determine if they align with your interests and career goals.
Which is the best option: CSE at IIIT Delhi, dual (economics) at BITS Goa/Hyderabad, or information technology at NIT Suratkal?
The answer to this question depends on how you can cope with zealous competition after joining college. If you are confident that you can join the brawl and top in your first year, I would highly recommend taking MSc in Economics at BITS Goa Pilani.
Pros- BITS Pilani has been ranked among top 30 institutes in NIRF Ranking 2020.
- In your 2nd year, you can choose a B.E. course according to your first year CGPA, including the highly coveted CSE program.
- You'll have to spend one more year as compared to your B.E. colleagues.
- Getting your desired course can be a real disadvantage, seeing that there is no dearth of distractions on campus.
If you do not want to take a risk, choosing IT at NIT Surathkal is the best option for you. Since the syllabus almost corresponds to that of CSE and the infrastructure is mind-blowing at the campus.
I want to get a PhD from IGNOU. Is it tough to get a PhD from IGNOU?
It is a given fact that IGNOU is one of the best universities in India. All of its courses have great value. But when it comes to PhD, the truth is that there are many universities that are more specialized in it. Also, you can opt to study abroad. It is a very good option and has a lot of benefits.
In the end, it’s your own personal decision. Just make sure to think about it open-mindedly first. You may refer to career counselling sites also. They give you the best advice regarding your career or any study-related decision.
