What are the conditions to change a branch in IIT Roorkee?

KB
Keshav Behera Posted On : April 12th, 2023
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee

IT Roorkee allows students to change their branch of study under certain conditions. Whichever branch you belong to, you should be among the toppers. Very limited candidates actually get to change their branch because the Strength of a class shouldn't increase by 5% of the actual number of seats. Let’s understand this with the help of an example of 2 branches.

CSE: For instance, if the strength of the CS batch is 80 then only 4 students are eligible for branch change into it. Only 2 out of these 4 are available for General Category students. So the competition is tough as you will be competing with so many students just for 2 seats. 

Meta: If the batch size of this branch is 120, and is the least preferred branch. So being a topper from GT, GPT, IMSC, BT, PP, PS, etc. you will face less competition and more seats will be available as many Meta students will have their branches changed to other better branches.

How is NMIMS Mumbai for its management programmes, in comparison to the old and new IIMs and some other good colleges?

SK
Shaunak Kapoor Posted On : February 23rd, 2023
PGDM from SVKM'S NMIMS?, Hyderabad Campus

Comparing NMIMS to the old IIMs like A, B, C, K, I, and L is completely illogical so let’s not do that. NMIMS Mumbai Campus is still comparable to the new IIMs in certain aspects. It is slightly better than new IIMs. Some points that favor this statement are

  • The infrastructure and in-campus facilities are a notch above the new IIMs
  • The peers are passionate learners ready to face life challenges that occur as a result of staying in Mumbai.
  • Another unique aspect of the college is its induction programs and tours that no other college offers. This helps develop students' confidence and provides maximum exposure to them.
  • There is a certain level of harmony between the seniors and juniors 
  • The grading system is strict and one cannot miss a class more than the limitations of the course. 
  • classroom learning is an exciting experience that involves activities and other interesting learning methods.
  • The total marks are a mix of every aspect like trimester exams, attendance, and class participation.
  • Various clubs and committees host cultural and social events. They also hold business events which are very beneficial for students aspiring to become managers
  • When it comes to placements, the average package in NMIMS is higher than that of new IIMs. Also, Mumbai Campus has 100 percent placement opportunities.

Therefore the excellent bridging of theoretical knowledge and practical approach makes it one of the most coveted B Schools in India.

Is MIT Manipal a good college for hard workers, or is it just for rich spoiled brats?

SV
Shyam Verma Posted On : September 8th, 2023
Computer Science, and Engineering, MIT Manipal

No, it’s just a preconceived notion that MIT has only rich spoiled kids and no one is serious about academics here. Not everyone you find here is rich some are hardworking students who are studying hard to repay the loan they had to take for its high fees. MIT has several active student clubs and many students are involved in technical stuff day and night. 

Manipal also has “Student Projects” wherein every student project comprises a small and talented team of students with similar interests and passion for building something big, be it Robots, Cars, Satellites, Rovers, or Drones.

Some of the major student projects are:

  1. Project Manas - Build a self-driving car.
  2. RoboManipal - Makes robots and competes with various robotics teams in India.
  3. Solar Mobil - Trying to make a fully solar-powered car.

There are many other students' projects too. The purpose of mentioning this is to highlight the kind of academic exposure and opportunities this institute has. The CS students actively participate in collecting and analyzing the data from their surroundings and work very hard to achieve their goals. 

Manipal caters to almost everything, be it Developing mobile applications, building websites, writing, or even a start-up. It also provides facilities for participating in MOOCs or Online courses or Competitive coding. The well-stocked Central Library is home to many hardworking students. 

Ultimately, MIT is not only for the rich kids but also caters to the hardworking ones. It’s you who will decide what you reap here!

Am I making a mistake by preferring IISER Kolkata over IIT Kharagpur MSc Integrated Physics?

MR
Malabika Roychowdhury Posted On : December 21st, 2021
BS-MS Dual Degree Biology & Junior Research Fellow, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata

No, it is not a mistake to prefer IISER Kolkata over IIT KGP for an MSc integrated course in Physics. You are going to get a pure science degree so it makes more sense to get the degree from an institute that focuses on that degree. IIT KGP is popular for its engineering degrees. So, you will be mostly surrounded by people who are pursuing engineering degrees. You won’t get to meet many like-minded students. The course structure of integrated MSc at IITs is also outdated. 

At IISER Kolkata, you will get a decent course structure and better faculties for an integrated MSc.

PS
Pritha Sengupta Posted On : July 18th, 2023
studied at Anna University, Tamil Nadu, India

Yes, you can definitely apply for a revaluation at Anna University and chances are you will be promoted provided that you attempted the exam well. One of my friends scored 30 before and 50 after revaluation while some even changed their scores from 20 to 50! 

Here are a few tips to score high at Anna University:

  • The long answers that carry 16 marks should be written pointwise
  • Don’t write irrelevant answers for the short questions as it will give a wrong impression to the examiners
  • Attempt the group of questions out of which you know the most answers. 
  • Try to put in all the information you have. It might get you extra marks. 

So, passing Anna University exams is not very challenging and the revaluation method is all the more helpful.

Is it possible to get into BITS Hyderabad without BITSAT?

Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : December 19th, 2023

The BITS campuses intake B.E. students through three methods. These are-

  • Through BITSAT- In this case, the admissions are based solely on the BITSAT score of a candidate. But the applicants must score >60% overall, and >75% in all three subjects i.e. Physics, Chemistry and Maths, in the 12th board exam.
  • Through SATs- International students get an admission through their SATs score. But in this case, the fee is higher, and it needs to be paid in USD.
  • Direct Admission- The class 12th topper (toppers if more than one student tops the exam) of each board is allowed direct admission into BITS, regardless of his/her BITSAT score. Such a student can pick any branch from across the three BITS campuses. 

Thus, it is possible only for a board topper to get into BITS Hyderabad without giving BITSAT.
