You can choose from multiple courses in edX and Coursera to help you develop your CV.

  • If you are particularly worried about getting a job, my advice to you would be to prepare well. 
  • You should submit your CV to various job portals like Naukri.com and LinkedIn as these are the ones that are highly popular.
  • You will also have to study very hard. Learn new skills to make your CV strong. 
  • Build new connections. 
  • Connect with your friends, seniors and also try to find out which companies they are planning to work in.

It depends on the perspective of separate individuals. Below is a subjective preference order based on two different factors, i.e. campus popularities and fee structure. The list is based on the reviews I got from my friends at the institutes. 

  1. Amity Noida- It is one of the oldest among every Amity campus. 
  2. Amity Gurgaon- Amity Gurgaon is India's one of the greatest corporate hubs so the chances of placements are always tremendous. A special mention to the campus. It is simply beautiful and profound.

Does working at an NGO or doing an internship count as work experience when gaining admission to institutions like the IIMs, XLRI, or FMS?

AS
Arunabha Sinha Posted On : August 3rd, 2022
Studied at XLRI School of Business & Human Resources

No, in most cases, IIMs, XLRI, and FMS don’t count internships or working at an NGO as work experience. These institutes usually have a clear policy regarding work experience. Paid work experiences after graduation are counted. 

You can add your internships or experience of working in NGO to your CV, under extracurricular activities. These experiences do add some importance to your resume, as it shows you have some sort of experience in that area.

Did WES provide ECA on your PTU transcripts? They rejected mine, saying they do not accept transcripts from PTU.

SK
Simran Kaur Posted On : September 10th, 2021
B.Tech Bachelor of Technology in Electronics and Communications Engineering, I. K. Gujral Punjab Technical University (2018)

Well, I don’t have much knowledge about whether WES provides ECA on your PTU transcripts or not. But I can assist you with some details I got to know from one of my friends at PTU.

  • It depends on the mode of your course. 
  • There is hardly any chance of rejection of transcripts from PTU. If the mode of the course is regular there won’t be any rejection. 
  • However, they may reject the tone of course done by correspondence mode if required.
  • As far as I know, transcripts from PTU were usually accepted.
  • So, a transcript from PTU may not be the primary issue definitely, the issue must be something else for sure. 

Please thoroughly check the reason mentioned for rejection before reaching down to any conclusion.

Which would be the best option, CSE in RVCE vs EEE in NIT Surathkal/Rourkela/Calicut or ECE in BITS Goa? I am not very keen in computer science but I am looking for good placements.

AG
Anima Goswami Posted On : August 23rd, 2021

You should definitely go for NITs. NITs will offer a better crowd, alongside good alumni networks. NITs also often come with a better campus and comparably lesser fees. The major upside of choosing NIT is it comes with a cooperative faculty and provides placement in various core companies, making both EEE and ECE courses quite good as a choice.

Moreover, every NITs offer multiple opportunities and has better fests. On the other hand, BITS Goa is reasonably expensive. 

If you are interested in CSE, then opting for RVCE can be better. And your second choice about opting for EEE or ECE at NIT Surathkal or Rourkela can be a decent decision as well. 

You should choose the institute that is close to your residence and finalize your decision after considering every relevant factor alike.

If a student is not from IIT or NIT or any good named college, can he/she survive in IIM's or XLRI or TISS Mumbai?

HS
Hritik Sharma Posted On : June 28th, 2021
Studied at Tata Institute of Social Sciences (2020)

Many students at TISS Mumbai are not from IIT or NIT. They have completed the course and are doing well in their careers. If they can do it, you can too. One thing that all HRM & LR students at TISS have in common is that they are all hardworking. I hope you understand what it takes to survive at TISS Mumbai.

The MBA curriculum is not difficult but some programs simply have a heavier course load. However, much of the coursework consists of group projects and presentations. It is extremely impossible to fail an MBA course. To accomplish this, you must make a colossal blunder.

The majority of the hype and hoopla surrounding MBA intensity is generated by students at such colleges. So don’t fall for it and keep focusing on your goals that’s it.

Is it legal to pursue a dual graduation degree simultaneously? One from a regular B.Sc from Magadh University and the 2nd one a BA from the IGNOU?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : April 13th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

As per the University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines, pursuing two-degree programs at the same time is not allowed. The UGC's policy on minimum standards of instruction for the grant of the first degree through formal education does not permit a student to pursue two-degree programs simultaneously from the same university or different universities or institutions. However, students can pursue the one-degree program and one diploma/certificate program or two diploma/certificate programs at the same time.

Pursuing a regular B.Sc degree from Magadh University and a BA degree from IGNOU at the same time may not be legal. It is advisable to check with both universities' respective authorities to confirm their policies on dual-degree programs. It's essential to note that any violation of the UGC's guidelines can lead to disciplinary action, and the degrees earned through such means may not be recognized by the authorities.

Should I write CAT with 4 years of experience (as of now).My main Target is NITIE, IIT Bombay or FMS?

HV
Hrida Verma Posted On : August 13th, 2021

Your choice to go ahead with this is a good one. There are quite a few reasons that will help you become successful if you plan to give the CAT after gaining some experience:

  • A lot of students from top B-schools gain admission after doing some work and gaining experience. You can even try for XLRI General Management which requires 5 years of work experience.
  • If you are planning to go for a PGP-Ex, let me tell you that this will not help you make any domain changes. But, if you still bag an admission, you can do a degree in operations and consulting.
  • The institutes mentioned above are quite biased towards engineers. They will not pay much attention to your profile. So, if you are one, your chances of getting in are quite good. You can also give the GMAT for your future prep.
  • If you are already working, with a degree from a reputed B-school, you will surely get an increase in your salary. You will also get the validation you need in your future endeavors.

In conclusion, this method of pursuing your further studies might be a little difficult in the beginning but you will realize that the pros are much better than the cons. You should think of going forward with this and take a chance.

Am I doing a mistake by leaving NIT Trichy mechanical and taking MNNIT/IIIT Allahabad CSE?

SK
Swapnil Mukesh Kumar Posted On : July 26th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (2022)

In present times, two different departments cannot be compared overall. Making a judgment about two different streams with different levels of opportunities is not wise in the field of engineering. In this case too, the points below state the reasons why the two choices are incomparable.

  • The foremost thing in the choice of streams is your interest. You should stick to your own passion and subjects of interest, which is very important for success.
  • Students should never go with what the trend says. Even, someone else’s compulsion should not affect very much the choice of a student. Going by the trend is a fool’s task, as the trend may change any day. Only self passion will drive you towards success.

Therefore, it is absolutely wise to switch between the options given in the question, with the only mandate that you should listen to your mind before making the choice.
