How do toppers at IIT, especially IIT-Kharagpur study?
A few of my friends were Institute toppers and I asked them about their study method. Most of my topper friends study just 2 days before exams in the library and then teach their friends and clear their doubts.
Another topper friend solved all the previous year question papers of the subject and uploads the solutions on the Facebook group a day before the exam. She never missed any class, had great handwriting and prepared great notes.
So basically, toppers , prepare for the exams way before most of us even begin. They are kind, selfless and are ready to help anyone who is unable to cope up.
Ultimately, every student has his unique way of studying.

How good is placement at Sathyabama University?
Mainly IT companies visit the Sathyabama University campus for recruitments. On the other hand, very few core companies visit the campus for branches like Mechanical, Civil, Aero, Auto and Pro. Even the ones that do visit, mostly end up not recruiting any students.
The CS and IT department receives top companies like Oracle and HP. But the eligibility criteria of such companies is very high. Mass recruiters like Cognizant, Infosys and Wipro also visit the campus, and are quite easy to crack. Unfortunately, the university does not see any dream companies or high paying companies during placements.
This is the entire placement scenario at Sathyabama University.
What are some of the Interesting/Crazy stories at IIIT - Allahabad?
One of my friends told a story of IIIT Allahabad. It was in his 7th semester when this took place. We were just done with the farewell. He was presenting his end-semester project, and a batchmate called him and told him that there was a surprise check in the hostel. A friend wanted him to come to the hostel immediately.
He hurried up his presentation and ran to the hostel. When he reached, Karan and Raif were in the warden's room. He entered and Virender lined up 5-6 liquor bottles on the table. He pointed to 2-3 bottles kept on the floor and told them that they found this and the 5-6 bottles in his room. He also found a bucket that was filled with green water and some green matter on the top. The table was black from the ash, and the floor was littered with cigarette buds.
He goes on to lecture them about cleanliness and how he wanted them out of the hostel. This resulted in begging and pleading. Karan got pissed and started lashing out at Virender on how the cleaning guy is careless. My friend and Raif somehow stopped his yelling and got back to begging. It was their final month anyway since they had to go to their internships.
He finally relents and gives them an hour or something to clean everything up. So they go upstairs and start the cleaning themselves. He was using a broom and cleaning everything, carelessly. Karan yelled why are you using broom like that (using curse words), and at that moment another batchmate walked in who incidentally was nicknamed 'broom' and got offended and started using curse words as well.
The situation was hilarious and was one of the craziest moments we witnessed in IIIT Allahabad.

What is the domicile cutoff for the XIMB?
To apply for admission to XIMB (Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar), you need to have a three-year Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) from a recognized university with at least 50% marks. Even if you expect to complete your degree by a certain date, you can still apply.
The XIMB cut-off is based on various entrance exams such as XAT, CAT, GMAT, XGMT, and NMAT. The cutoff figure is the minimum score required to be called for a personal interview. However, you should keep in mind that the cutoff is just a primary filter and only those who score high enough can hope to get final admission.
The XIMB cutoff figures may vary slightly from year to year, but the differences are usually minor. If you plan to take the XAT exam, you should aim for around 90 percentile to meet the XIMB cut-off. For the GMAT, the cut-off is 550 marks, and for NMAT, it is 220 marks. It's important to note that NMAT is considered only for selected courses.

I would recommend you choose between NIT Raipur and Rourkela, based on which one is more comfortable for you location-wise.
