Which is better for an MA/MSc in psychology through distance learning, IGNOU or Annamalai University?
One of my friends completed his MA in Industrial Psychology through IGNOU. According to him, it is a well-thought-out course with a term-end examination, compulsory internship, and research projects. My friend also consulted with some practicing Psychologists regarding the study material. According to them, the course is at par with the regular university courses.
The advantage of this course is that you can complete the course over a period of 5 years and examinations are taken twice each year. So, you can take examinations for 2-3 subjects each term and complete the course easily along with a full-time course or job. Study Center and Regional Center are two points of contact for IGNOU.
Lately, there have been some issues regarding RCs and teachers in IGNOU. Going forward they need to address these issues.
What is the correct ranking between IIT Roorkee, IIT Guwahati, and IIIT Hyderabad for Masters in Computer Science?
Before I rank these institutes, I will warn you against joining IIT Roorkee for CS. IIT Roorkee is understaffed and also lacks facilities for research work. Despite being the oldest IIT, it has failed to meet IIT standards and has become a big disappointment
Only a few professors around 10 are there in the CS department and most of them are least interested in doing or promoting research work. So for research aspirants, IIT Roorkee is the last love to be.
However, if your only agenda is to secure a well-paid job, IIT Roorkee with its tag will definitely fetch you one. Many top companies offer excellent job profiles to CS students and students of these students are most sought after. Even MTech students are allowed to sit for placements.
In my opinion, the ranking should be
IIIT Hyderabad>IIT Guwahati>IIT Roorkee
How should I prepare for my interview in IISc Bangalore for the Integrated PhD course in Physics? I appeared in JAM 2016.
I was interviewed at IISc Bangalore for an integrated Ph.D. in Physics. Once you get an interview call, your JAM marks or rank do not matter.
You will give an interview to a panel of 5 to 6 professors, each one of whom will be an expert in their field. In the beginning, you are asked about your UG studies and favorite topics in Physics. After this, you are asked questions and thoroughly examined.
Be very clear with the basics of Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, Electrodynamics, and Mathematical Physics. You can be asked anything from them. Truncated Harmonic Oscillator and Finite Square Well are important topics that are routinely asked during a Physics interview.
You should accept it if you do not know about a topic or did not study it. This is because the panelists easily assess what you know and what you do not know. If you do not know a topic and the panelists are in a good mood, you will be asked to get into the ‘let’s figure out’ mode, else, they will move on to another topic.
My interview experience at IISc Bangalore was quite good. I was not selected for the iPh.D. Physics program but the interview aided my growth and knowledge. I would recommend you enjoy the interview at IISc Bangalore and also give it well-prepared.
Which course is better: IIT, Madras M.S. by research or IIIT Hyderabad M.Tech in computer science?
The MS program is solely research-oriented and has minimal research work, while M.Tech is coursework based and has very less research angle. It's up to you to decide which aspect is more suitable for you and then only choose the program.
The subject or area of your work defines your MS program because the entire research will be based on that area only. Chronologically, an MS student has to go through these
- Choose 5 courses related to your area of work and try to complete them within a year
- Once you are done, start your research work and publish your paper
- Sit for placements and get placed with a good package
- Synopsis meeting after which you have to write your these
- You are ready to leave IIT Madras
There is no fixed duration of the degree and one can even complete it in 2 years. It all depends on your capabilities and your area of research. Some even convert their MS degree into Ph.D. after the 1st year. The faculty pool is very cooperative and guides you continuously throughout your research work. Some important research topics include
- Computer Architecture
- Machine learning
- NLP
- Speech

Is it worth doing MS by Research in ECE at IIIT hyderabad?
