What should I know before joining NIT Silchar?

SG
Sudipta Ghose Posted On : August 24th, 2023
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology Silchar (2020)

These are some things you should know before joining NIT Silchar-

  1. Your CGPA is what matters the most over here. Everything else is secondary.
  2. All your past achievements and ranks will be of no use over here. Everything will start from scratch at NIT Silchar.
  3. Irrespective of your branch, you will have to work really hard.
  4. You will have mid-sem within a month of joining and the 6 subjects will be winded up in six days.
  5. You might have been a topper at school, but you can end up becoming an average student at NITS.
  6. You can rediscover your lost interests and passions at NITS through extracurricular activities.
  7. Civil/ Electrical and other branch students pick up coding/developing and gain expertise in the domain for better career prospects. Sometimes a student from another branch is a better coder/ developer than someone from CSE.
  8. You can’t be overly involved in extracurricular activities unless you want an attendance backlog in some course.
  9. While at NITs hostel, you will develop the habit of sleeping very late at night.
  10. Most students at NIT Silchar, except those in CSE or ECE, don’t like their chosen branch.
  11.  Getting above 8 CGPA requires hard work and effort from your side.
  12. There are some unhealthy politics on the campus.

NIT Silchar is an underrated college. However, these points were meant to inform you of the good and bad of this institution.

Does an IIM tag from a newer IIM (say IIM Ranchi) help in a person's career?

AM
Aditya Mahatha Posted On : January 11th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Ranchi (Graduated 2019)

The question is too general. Yet I will share my own opinion.

Indeed, IIM Ranchi has the potential to help you clear the obstacles in your career and climb the success ladder. It’s the following aspects of IIM Ranchi that make it a good option to uplift your career

IIM Tag: In this era of tough competition, it’s the IIM tag that helps you avail the finest benefits after an MBA. 

Growth: All the news IIMs focus on the general development of its students at large. Unlike older IIMs you can initiate committees and clubs that have never been established before. You can take the reins and enforce student culture at your college.

Long-term benefits: While joining a new institute one should definitely look at the bigger picture. After all, once even IIM Ahmedabad was a new IIM but today it has its own legacy. The same will happen with all the other new IIMs so you shouldn’t lose this opportunity just for short-term benefits.

Placements: We are quick to judge colleges based on its placement statistics. In reality, Management is a field in which lifetime value is considered not salary. Yet if you base your decision on placements this year's statistics are as follows 

Particulars 

Statistics 

Number of Recruiters

250+

Number of Students

325

Highest Salary

INR 32.21 LPA

Average Salary

INR 16.17 LPA

Top Recruiters 

Deloitte, Aditya Birla Group, Infosys, EY, IBM

Major Sectors

IT/ITES, Consulting, BFSI

These packages may seem lower than those offered at older IIMs but with excellent work, you can climb the ladder gradually.

Curriculum: The pedagogy is as good as any other top B School. You can gain a lot of knowledge just by attending the lectures conducted by the learned faculty alone.

Some points that might be important to consider against your decision to join IIM Ranchi are

  • The infrastructure is not at par with other IIMs
  • The distance between the campus and accommodation is very much.
  • You will be offered lower packages as compared to older IIMs

However, I don’t think these points can overshadow the plethora of opportunities IIM Ranchi offers.

Should I choose CSE in SGGS (Nanded) or VIT (Pune)?

Sayantani Barman Posted On : October 13th, 2023

I have friends both in SGGS and VIT Pune so I can give you a detailed comparative analysis of both institutes based on some common aspects

  • Institutes: SGGSIE&T is a government-autonomous institute whereas VIT is a private autonomous college. So there is a huge difference in terms of fee structure and hostel facilities.
  • Campus: VIT is much smaller in comparison to SGGS. The former spreads over 17.625 acres while the latter is around 46 acres. SGGS also has a huge playground.
  • City Life: Situated on the outskirts of Nanded city, SGGS does not offer much exposure and lifestyle. Whereas in Pune, you can enjoy a vibrant city life with many places to hang out. However, the cost of living is more than in Nanded.
  • Establishment - VIT was established in 1983 while SGGS was established in 1981.
  • Faculty - VIT faculty is more well-versed than that of SGGS. Its academic ambiance is much better than SGGS. 
  • Departments: SGGS has 10 departments while VIT has around 15.
  • Placements: The placement scenario is much better at VIT Pune than at SGGS. Located in Pune, it is visited by many more and better companies. 

Although SGGS is better in most aspects, VIT Pune steals the limelight because of its amazing placement scenario. So choose wisely!

How many students from KMC Manipal qualify for the USMLE every year?

SM
Sonal Mishra, Posted On : September 28th, 2023
MBBS from Kasturba Medical College, Manipal (2024)

Clearing USMLE requires going through 3 steps. While most students clear the first step only a few are able to clear the second. Eventually, only 5–6 people every year from KMC are able to clear the final step and pursue the course. Students are given clear instructions regarding the approach they should adopt while answering the questions. Video conferences are held by lecturers who specialize in USMLE to train the students. Moreover, KMC is giving coaching modules and some questions to help them prepare for the same.

You can also seek help from your alumni for 3 years of residency in America. Under this, you will look after your 1-year expenditure given that once you complete your study in America, you will also look after the 1-year expense of any KMC student. 

So, approximately 5-6 students from KMC Manipal qualify for the USMLE every year.

How good are Placements in NIT Rourkela for M Tech CSE? Please Help

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 14th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

The quality of roles and packages offer to MTech CSE students of NIT Rourkela depends on individual skills and expectations and therefore cannot be generalized. 

Here is a brief overview of NIT Rourkela MTech in CSE 

Duration

2 years (Full Time)

Course Level

PG Degree

Total Tuition Fees

INR 3.56 Lakh

Total Seats

25

Highest CTC

INR 34.2 LPA

Average CTC

INR 12.1 LPA

Lowest CTC

INR 3.6 LPA 

Median CTC

INR 6.8 LPA 

Top Recruiters

Accenture, Adobe, Amazon, Capgemini, Deloitte, Goldman Sachs, IBM, Infosys, Reliance Industries Limited

Overall, the placement conditions are decent and not all students get placed. Most CS companies allow only BTech students to sit for placements and therefore Mech students end up in service-based companies like TCS, and IBM (GBS). This poor placement scenario stems from the outdated CSE curriculum at NIT Rourkela. The curriculum focuses on theoretical concepts only and students are not exposed to practical experiences.

So, I will suggest you go for CSE M.tech at NIT Rourkela only if you are unemployed after your BTech or you want to pursue your career academically. Joining this course on the pretext of getting better jobs will not be a wise decision.

PA
Puneet Aarya Posted On : June 4th, 2023
MBBS from All India Institute of Medical Sciences

The major differences between life at AIIMS Delhi and AIIMS Patna have been listed below

  • AIIMS Patna is located in the exterior of the city making it difficult to even grab a quick meal at a restaurant. Even the nearest market is at a distance of 3 km.
  • It’s a no-brainer that AIIMS Delhi has a larger and more diverse patient load than any other AIIMS and offers a variety of cases for students.
  • AIIMS Patna has a rigid hostel ambiance and strict rules have to be followed.
  • The annual fest of AIIMS Delhi is the largest college fest organized by a medical institute in India and provides a unique experience
  • AIIMS Patna has more campus space than AIIMS Delhi which is excessively crowded.

Overall, the main difference between AIMS Delhi and other AlIMS is that AIlMS Delhi is the original and largest campus, and the other AIlMS campuses are modeled after it.

Which should I choose: BITS Hyderabad or NIT Trichy?

Sayantani Barman Posted On : July 26th, 2023

This is one of the most debatable questions. Both NIT Trichy and BITS Hyderabad are well-known institutions that have their strengths and weaknesses.

Here are a few parameters on which one can compare the two-

  • Reputation: BITS Hyderabad was established in the year 2008, and NIT Trichy was established in 1964. NIT Trichy is ranked 9th in the NIRF Rankings 2023 for Engineering and is consistently listed among the top 10 Engineering institutions in India.
  • Peer groups: Both institutes are good and can not be compared because both institutions select candidates through different entrance exams.
  • Location: BITS Hyderabad is better in terms of location because Hyderabad is a better city than Tiruchirapalli.
  • Reservation: NIT Trichy does have reserved seats while BITS Hyderabad does not.
  • Cost of Study: NIT Trichy costs around 10 Lakhs, while BITS Hyderabad goes to around 22 Lakhs.
  • Infrastructure- Both the institutions have a good infrastructure but the BITS Hyderabad infrastructure is better.
  • Placements- The average package at both is at par but Apple visits BITS Hyderabad which is a point in its favor.

If the fee is a matter of concern, I would suggest you go with NIT Trichy. Also, for Mechanical Engineering, NIT Trichy is an ideal place. For a JEE aspirant, NIT Trichy is a dream come true. 

My personal preference is in this order-

  1. NIT Trichy
  2. NIT Surathkal
  3. NIT Warangal
  4. MNNIT Allahabad
  5. NIT Rourkela ~ BITS Hyderabad
  6. MNIT Jaipur

Both NIT Trichy and BITS Hyderabad are equally good institutions and you can choose either of the two after considering each of the above aspects.
