Are 3rd Generation IITs like IIT Tirupati worth people's time?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : January 11th, 2024

If someone has a passion for engineering, 3rd generation IITs are better than many non-IITs. 

This is because the faculty of new IITs is as good as that in the old ones. There’s no compromise at all in the faculty selection process of any IIT. The professors are all genuine and certified experts in their respective fields. 

When 2nd and 3rd gen IITs were created, the professors of old IITs were given the choice of continuing beyond retirement. This was done so that no IIT faces a shortage of faculty. 

Though the new IITs can’t offer top notch facilities, the learning opportunities in them are good enough. But if packages and placements are talked about, then obviously they won’t be very high for IIT Tirupati in its formative years. 

If you’re passionate about engineering, you should consider IIT Tirupati. With talent, skill and passion, you’ll easily land a decent job off campus.

Is ISB Hyderabad a better option for candidates with work experience than the top list IIMs?

RS
Rahul Srivastav Posted On : August 10th, 2022
Studied at Indian School of Business

ISB Hyderabad is better for candidates with more than 3 years of experience. It is better than IIM executive MBA and PGPX programs. Most students at ISB, have few years of industry experience. So, the peer learning opportunities are plenty. The placement opportunities offered are great. ISB placements in 2022 ended with an average CTC of INR 34.07 LPA.  

If you have less than 3 years of experience, IIM A, B, and C will offer better career outcomes.

What are KMC manipal mbbs degree benefits over degree from state govt universities?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : September 28th, 2023

Government colleges offer excellent patient loads with minimal fees. Everything including hospital equipment, the salary of professors, and all the other expenses are covered by the government. In the case of private hospitals, all such expenses are paid by the students so the fees are high. KMC Manipal enjoys a good reputation because of the clinical exposure and quality of education it offers. In fact, its patient exposure is comparable to that of Government colleges. Being associated with 3 Government hospitals gives you a spectrum of cases and a huge workload for interns and PGs. Here are a few perks of choosing KMC over Government colleges

  • KMC gives you an edge over USMLE
  • It has an excellent research culture as it helps you to get into ICMR, a short-term studentship. In case you are presenting a paper they even sponsor you to go to a conference.
  • The extracurricular culture is also great here. It organized Utsav, its intercollegiate fest, and also allowed students to attend other fests like PULSE (AIIMS), Spandan (JIPMER), etc.

Eventually, the decision depends on your financial status.

How do you score 80% plus marks in NSIT/DTU (formerly DCE) ? WHAT is the secret behind the diligent life long toppers?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : August 21st, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

One of my friends faced a lot of issues in the initial years at NSUT. His aggregate for the first 2 years was 50%. He then decided to work hard and made a new strategy. By the end of 4 years, his aggregate increased to 80%. Currently, he is pursuing MS in computer science at the University of Maryland, College Park, USA. Initially, he was distracted by the freedom of college life and the dilemma of choosing MS vs MBA. 

Firstly, you need to focus on your studies and target a high score. Stop paying heed to people who say college life is all about fun. College is about realizing a dream and setting plans to achieve them. So, give up on distractions and start working hard to get good grades. He realized that scoring 80+ in college is possible for everyone but because of the ongoing activities and distractions, it becomes almost impossible.

In simple words, all you need is to find the passion within you that will drive you to perform at your level best. Find a good company that motivates you instead of mocking you.

Does JIPMER PG require different preparation than that of AIIMS/NEET PG?

SS
Shridhar Sriraman Posted On : September 21st, 2023
Lives in Pondicherry, Puducherry, India

Here are some things you should know about JIPMER PG exam and related prep-

  1. Solve previous year question papers; they do play an important role.
  2. JIPMER paper has a good number of questions from previous AIIMS/NEET PG papers.
  3. The paper has a bit more concept oriented and problem-solving type questions than the NEET-PG paper, similar to the AIIMS exam. It will test how deeply you know the concepts.
  4. It is a computer based exam, so you’ll get a lot of image based questions.
  5. The JIPMER PG exam is quite difficult, so prepare well.

I hope this information will help you prepare well for the entrance.

What are the pros and cons of IIT Kharagpur?

NG
Nikhil Goal Posted On : March 23rd, 2023
Mechanical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IIT KGP)

IIT Kharagpur is considered one of the premier engineering colleges of India and many engineering aspirants dream of joining this institute. Like every coin has two sides, this institute has a number of pros and cons that one must consider before making the final decision.

Pros

  • As an IITian at KGP, you will be privileged to attend the oldest and the largest IIT in the country which is spread across more than 2100 acres. It has the highest number of departments and intake of students.
  • IIT KGP is well-known for its excellent academic environment that is promoted by extremely learned professors who are experts in their own fields of research.
  • IIT Kharagpur has an extensive research-oriented approach that enables the students enthusiastic about research to pursue their passion here. They get to work under highly skilled professors or seniors in the form of mentors.
  • IIT Kharagpur also gives importance to international exposure in the form of foreign internships, PPOs, and job offers.
  • The placement scenario at IIT Kharagpur has been improving over the past few years and more students get domestic and international offers from MNCs, IT companies or companies, and Non-core companies. The average package of all the departments combined is around INR 15 to 18 LPA.
  • Students are guided and offered a number of opportunities by the career development Centre, CDC of IIT Kharagpur.
  • IIT Kharagpur also promotes extracurricular activities that are usually supervised by technology students, Gymkhana. These activities cover a wide area ranging from robotics club to social development club, music club to finance club, and everything one can look for.
  • Large number of opportunities are provided in sports, ranging from cricket, football, basketball, badminton, squash, tennis table, tennis athletics et cetera. Some sports facilities include sports fields and an Olympic size swimming pool.

Cons:

  • The only flaw that makes people hesitate to choose IITKGP is probably its rural and remote location with a lack of transport and other facilities. This also limits the opportunities for students to a considerable extent.
  • The girls-to-boys ratio is around 10:1 which is quite low for a coed college.
  • There are extreme monsoon conditions that might be a problem for many.

I am sure the cons are not strong enough to overshadow the pros and one should definitely consider joining this institute.

Does the IGNOU send a transcript to WES?

ST
Santosh Tiwari Posted On : November 2nd, 2022
BCA Computer Programming, Indira Gandhi National Open university (2022)

One of my brother's friends was applying for immigration and faced issues getting a transcript from IGNOU. Many services offered online charged more than INR 10000, which was too much. Finally, he came across a service NV DOCUMENTATION, DWARKA. He contacted them regarding the details. They informed him about the changes in WES policy as to which university needs to send the transcript directly. The price they offered was worth the risk and much less as compared to other services. He submitted the required documents to them and sure enough his transcripts were delivered to WES within the time frame. 

It is recommended you use this service if you want your transcript to be shipped to WES.

Is it a big deal to study in NSIT?

HP
Himanshu Pathak Posted On : August 21st, 2023
lives in Chandigarh, India

No , honestly, after going through so much hard work and finally getting admission into NSUT, my brother realized that it wasn’t a big deal at all. 

  • Except for the IT and Mechanical departments, the classrooms are ordinary with no modern facilities.
  • Hostels have no wifi connection The funds are misused. Instead of organizing fests and funding societies every year a path of greenery is added.
  • The teachers focus more on the attendance of students rather than delivering concepts excellently. 
  • The college is surviving solely because of its affiliation with DU.
  • The research culture is inactive and only a few teachers and researchers are genuinely focused.
  • Apart from COE and IT, all other branches have heavy workloads with poor placements and internships. 
  • The institute does not offer any modern courses like machine learning, artificial intelligence, image processing, computer vision, data science etc 

In all, you will be very disappointed when you end up in an institute like NSUT after going through sleepless nights to clear JEE. So don’t believe the rumors and fall for the fake brand image NSUT has built to attract students.
