What is it like to study Physics at IIT Kharagpur?

AC
Anumita Chatterjee Posted On : March 22nd, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IITK)

A student at IIT Kharagpur can study Physics even without attending classes or going to labs. I think the m experience in any department depends mainly on 3 factors 

  • Your own motivation
  • Professors
  • Peer group

Your own motivation: You either get inspired or are naturally motivated. The former does not need much external pressure. This means you can function well even without good facilities or professors. However, those who lack such inspiration need constant motivation to depend on good professors to develop an interest in the course and perform well. Physics is a difficult subject and one cannot solely depend upon self-study. So physics at IIT Kharagpur is not for those who lack inherited motivation.


 

Professors: Sadly, IIT Kharagpur has only a few professors that make it into the category of experienced and learned. Most professors are good at research but lack teaching skills. If the second and third-year subjects are not taught by good professors, you will face quite a bit of a downfall in this path.

Department:

Any particular department can be evaluated on the basis of labs, workload, grading, placements, and scope for higher studies.

  • Labs: The labs are neither too good nor too bad and are just considered average at IIT Kharagpur.
  • Workload: The workload is huge with 5 subjects every semester till the 4th year and 4 labs every week.
  • Grading: Absolute Grading system is followed which is quite challenging.
  • Placements: No core companies visit the campus for placements for the Physics department. So the only option left is to sit for non-core companies like IT, Analytics, Finance, Operations, and Management. However, you can get into these companies with your own set of skills provided that you stand out among recruiters.
  • Scope for higher studies: There is a lot of scope for higher studies provided that you have good internships, projects, and grades.

Peer group:

Having passionate people in your batch adds to the overall learning experience. The peer group in KGP comprises usually hostel friends or friends from societies or clubs.

How strict are the practical and theory attendance rules of IGNOU?

PN
Pallav Nagar Posted On : October 28th, 2022
Lives in Bhopal Madhya Pradesh, India

Whether the attendance rules of IGNOU are strict or not depends on your local centre solely. There is a minimum attendance criterion in place but it differs from programme to programme. 

Once you adopt the habit of self-learning it becomes quite easy. But attending classes will help you clear your doubts once in a while.

The theory sessions in IGNOU are not actual regular classes. They are just sessions to hold discussions between lecturers and students. There is no proper explanation of each chapter, just a general clarification of doubts. Attend these classes only after thoroughly going through the study materials. 

Another benefit of attending classes is meeting new people who will help you understand the topic much better. So if you are a student of IGNOU, the practical and theory attendance rules vary from centre to centre.

  • Practice mock tests: Practice mock tests regularly to get a feel for the exam and to identify areas that need improvement. Analyze your performance in the mock tests to understand your strengths and weaknesses.
  • Focus on basics: Focus on understanding the basic concepts and principles of each subject. Once you have a solid foundation, you can move on to more advanced topics.
  • Use study materials: Use study materials such as textbooks, previous year question papers, and online resources to help you prepare for the exam. Make sure to choose high-quality study materials that are relevant to the exam.
  • Improve your speed and accuracy: CLAT is a time-bound exam, so it is important to improve your speed and accuracy. Practice solving questions quickly and accurately to build your confidence.
  • Stay motivated: Preparing for an exam like CLAT can be stressful, but it is important to stay motivated throughout the process. Take breaks, exercise, and engage in activities that help you relax and stay focused.

In conclusion, preparing for CLAT in just two months requires a disciplined approach and a lot of hard work. However, with the right strategy and dedication, you can achieve your goals and excel in the exam.

There might be one, two, or three lectures depending on your course. Another set of events that constitute a major part of your day is committee-related events like competitions. Apart from that you are always busy preparing for your presentations and assignments. Attending guest lectures is mandatory and no one can evade them.

YS
Yashraj Sule Posted On : August 10th, 2021
Studied Computer Science at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (2011)

You will have to write an application to the deputy registrar of Academics. Alternatively, you can also send an email to Deputy Registrar with your application.

As far as transcripts are concerned, you need to send the complete address of the universities for which you are applying. Along with this, send two sets of your mark sheet photocopies and degree certificate.

These sets should be authorized by the college and the other set should be duly notarized by a legal or commissioner of oaths or self.

Lastly, your transcripts will only be sent once the administration receives the photocopies of your mark sheets and degree certificates. Overall, it is a pretty simple process. Your work should get done smoothly.

Muskan Shafi Posted On : April 5th, 2024

Although, freshers at AIIMS Raipur do not have any uniforms professors and seniors advise freshers to always be dressed formally. Boys in Formal Shirts and Pants and Girls in Kurthis with formal shoes. Doctors need to look decent, which aids in building their trustworthy among patients.

Is the computer science branch in MNIT Jaipur good (in terms of academic facilities, faculty, placements etc.)?

Sayantani Barman Posted On : October 9th, 2023

The CSE branch of MNIT Jaipur is one of the best branches of the institute in comparison to all other NITs. The branch has a dedicated pool of faculty that adopt modern pedagogy to deliver CS concepts. The branch has state-of-the-art lab facilities that assist in cutting-edge research. 

MNIT Jaipur CSE placements have recorded decent stats over the past few years. Although no official data has been released on the same, a few acquaintances at MNIT Jaipur shared the statistics with me. 

  • Almost 98 students got placed 
  • The highest salary package offered by Apple was INR 64 LPA. 
  • The lowest salary package offered was INR 6.75 LPA. 
  • Top recruiting companies were Apple, Amazon, Flipkart, Adobe, Deloitte, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, etc

Lastly, the NIT tag plays a big role in improving your future prospects and improving your job opportunities. The campus has a diverse crowd and the overall ambiance is quite lively. However, MNI TJaipur lacks in terms of coding culture. So, if you want to participate in competitive programming, you will need a lot of self-motivation.

Ultimately, choosing the college is important but not more than the branch. That being said, the CSE at MNIT Jaipur is better than any core branch at the top NITs. So, if you are willing to work right after graduation, go for it!
