I have witnessed the beautiful changing of seasons at DTU and that’s what thrilled me the most. The campus looked stunning with each passing season. I have attached a few photos depicting the beauty of some seasons at DTU

Some might consider other infrastructure as iconic but for me, it’s the beauty of the campus that left me in awe.

Getting a seat at St. Stephens College is a dream for every student but it is an impossible task. One of the worst things can be bribery and discrimination for admission to this prestigious college. Apart from this, the following can also be some more reasons:

• The college has strict guidelines for female students and imposes a curfew after 10 PM. There is no restriction for male students and they can have as much fun.
• St. Stephen’s favors Malayali students and the college administration easily admits them.
• The food at the mess is neither tasty nor good. You can easily have the food from outlets outside the campus.
• You cannot issue more than 3 books from the library and have to return them in a week. Whereas, colleges like Ramjas give 6 books for 15 days.
• The fests at St. Stephen’s College are extremely boring and you will not enjoy them.

Regardless of these disadvantages, St. Stephen’s is incomparable in terms of academics and the crowd.

CUSAT Kochi offers two types of MBA programs, Full-Time and Part-Time for a duration of two years and three years respectively. The full-time MBA offers specialization in Marketing, Finance, HRM, and International Marketing among a few others while the part-time evening professional MBA program offers a specialization in International Business and Travel and Tourism. The MBA program offered by CUSAT is an AICTE-approved two-year full-time PG program. The primary goal is to offer opportunities for pursuing a career in business. Curriculum: The curriculum is well-structured such that students are able to develop a thorough grasp of the basic concepts and techniques of management as well as the ability to practice them. During their final year, students work on a two-month independent research study-cum-internship at a registered corporation. Admission: Admissions into the program are done on the basis of cores in management entrance tests - KMAT of Kerala or C-MAT of AICTE or CAT of IIMs followed by a GD and PI round conducted by the university. Placements: CUSAT MBA placement scenario is decent and this year the CUSAT School of Management Studies recorded the highest and average packages at INR 20.14 LPA and INR 9.32 LPA, respectively. The institute maintains a 95% placement record every academic year and the students received 4 International offers also. School of Management Studies, CUSAT follows the motto of "Moulding Managers for Mankind” so you can expect excellent opportunities here!

Other than IIM Lucknow, the other management institutions in the city are very average. Jaipuria Institute of Management Lucknow is an average institution. It should not be on your priority list.

My friend applied to the Jaipuria Institute of Management Lucknow with no intention of joining it. She said that even though she gave the interview half-heartedly, she was still selected for admission.

This made my friend feel that the institution holds the personal interview as a mere formality. The main scope of the institution is to admit students and charge high fees, regardless of their scores, GD/PI performance, or other parameters of assessment.

During the placements in 2023, 300+ recruiters visited the campus for placements. The highest domestic CTC stood at 22 LPA and the average CTC stood at 12.34 LPA. The highest number of offers came from the Research & Consulting sector. The top recruiters were HDFC Bank, Deloitte, PWC, ICICI Bank, HCL, Eclerx, etc.

Though the 2023 placement figures are good for the Jaipuria Institute of Management Lucknow, I would still suggest you aim for joining the top business schools. You can always choose this institution in case you are not able to get admission into a better one.

I have spent four years as a B.Tech student at NIT Srinagar. Here are a few things about life at my college-

1. Srinagar is amazing. The weather remains cold for most part of the year, so you’ll forget what average Indian summers feel like.
2. NIT campus is fully secured, and surrounded by Dal Lake.
3. During winter, everything is covered in snow. It is an absolutely mesmerizing view. 
4. The hostels are clean and provided with all the facilities. 24*7 Wi-Fi facility is available. Mess is separate for each hostel, and the food is decent.
5. Students depend mostly on self-studies. 
6. Students are sent by the college to other Indian cities (for example, Ghaziabad) for industrial training purposes.
7. You will be provided with decent sports and gym facilities. There are college clubs which you can join. The IIED Center offers opportunities for self-exploration.
8. The placements are good, especially for CSE/IT. ECE, Mechanical, and CIV also enjoy good placements. Non-CSE/IT students usually sit for GATE or other competitive exams and perform well in them. 

NIT Srinagar is a wonderful college that offers a one-in-a-kind experience. 

First year at NIT Warangal Is common for students of all branches. The first year is the most exciting year filled with a number of dynamic events round the year. The first year witnesses two annual festivals

• SpringSpree , the cultural festival 
• Technozion , the technical festival

These festivals give you enough memories to last a lifetime. 

First-year students are allotted the Ultra Mega Hostel also known as 1.8k which is Asia’s biggest hostel. The hostel has a total of 9 floors connected with lifts and endless corridors. Life here is never dull even for a second.

The students are provided 24/7 high speed unlimited internet connection and WiFi. Additionally, the vast DC++ internal college network provides instant access to hundreds of TB of movies, TV series and games.

The CSE department has an excellent academic environment with a plethora of job opportunities in huge firms like Google and Microsoft. Additionally, you get the chances to pursue research internships or MS top foreign universities.

So, the life of a first year student at NIT Warangal is filled with a lot of exciting events and memories!

The ECE department at NIT Kurukshetra is average and not at par with NIT standards so go for it only if you are genuinely interested in the branch. Here are some strong reasons why I oppose joining this branch

• The classroom sessions are boring and only a few exceptional professors are even interested in teaching 
• The workload is challenging and so is the curriculum. You will have to study really hard to maintain a good CGPA, something that directly affects your placements. It will be even more difficult if you lack interest in the branch.
• The placement scenario is also nothing you will be looking forward to. Only a handful of companies come for ECE students. The majority of the batch will be placed in IT companies, and for this, you will have to study extra CS subjects. The competition is overwhelming and you will feel drained. 

The detailed placement statistics of the ECE branch at NIT Kurukshetra have been tabulated below:

So don’t go for ECE unless you are genuinely interested in it or you are committed to hard work for 4 long years.
