Jawaharlal Nehru University is renowned for its excellent academics. They have a pulsating student culture as they have various clubs and student-led organizations that result in the active participation of students in cultural and political activities. 

The students became socially oriented, and they should have a significant commitment to our society. The key features of JNU include

Scholars – JNU is gifted with experienced scholars who become the support pillar for every student. They play a major role in the personal and academic growth of the students.

Campus life – JNU offers the best campus life among all the other institutes in India. The students can enjoy freedom and stress-free academics. The hush green campus will soothe your mind and give you more space for self-growth

Fee Structure – JNU is comparatively cheaper than other colleges. This attracts the students to this institution, as they give more importance to good academics than money.

Hostel- They offer an attractive hostel lifestyle to the students. The boys and girls share a mess, recreation rooms, and visitors’ rooms. Everyone has the freedom to roam around the campus at any time.

Rather than looking for the perks of doing an MBBS from AIIMS, you should be asking what would you be losing if you are unable to make it into AIIMS and if that loss is worth worrying about. In a medical college, most of your UG time goes into exams and studies and you are left with no time to analyze where your interest lies - Medicine or no medicine / USMLE or AIPG 

• AIIMS offers top-notch education and training to its students, with a strong emphasis on practical, hands-on experience. This can help students develop the necessary skills and knowledge to become successful doctors.
• AIIMS has state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, which can enhance the learning experience for students. This includes modern laboratories, research facilities, and advanced medical technology.
• AIIMS has a strong reputation both nationally and internationally, which can be beneficial for students when it comes to securing jobs or pursuing further education.
• AIIMS has a diverse and inclusive community of students and faculty, which can provide a supportive and enriching environment for learning and personal growth.

AIIMS does not have campus selections and all doctors are paid equally in the beginning whether you belong to an AIIMS or not. The medical field does not value brand names but it's our personal efforts that actually matter.

Here are a few basic points of difference between IIT and BITS Pilani. 

• The competition at IITs is more intense than at BITS Pilani as it attracts better peers
• The cultural, sports and tech clubs are active in both institutes so I dont think they are comparable. BITS Goa even has club outings to beaches and treks.
• BITS Pilani has a very hectic academic environment here, especially in the first year. The duration of semesters is longer in the first year and studies take place 6 days a week against IIT Bombays 5 days a week.
• IITs have strict campus and hostel rules while life at BITS is comparatively relaxed and free of restrictions giving a sense of freedom to its students.
• BITS Pilani has slightly better placements with an average package of around INR 30.37 LPA against IIT Bombay's average package of INR 23.26 LPA.
• The hostel facilities of BITS are way better than the old IIts though the mess food is somewhat similar. IIT Bombay has better sports facilities in comparison to BITS. 
• BITS Pilani has an excellent coding culture and its large number of GSoC selections is a testament to the same. 
• BITS has a no-attendance policy while IIT Bombay has a 75–80% attendance rule in a few courses.
• BITS Pilani fees are as high as ?5.42 Lakhs for the first year alone while IIT Bombay fees are INR 218500 for the first year. BITS fees are almost double IIT fees.
• BITS Pilani has a no-reservation policy thus the students are equally smart and have been admitted solely on the basis of merit. IITs on the other hand have a reservation policy and thus the student body is a mixed bag of toppers and average students.
• IIT Bombay has a better research culture than BITS Pilani.

Overall both BITS and old IITs have their unique strengths and weaknesses and the ultimate decision should be on the basis of your personal preferences.

As a student of Manipal Institute of Technology, here are some things I would like to share with you-

• Campus Life- Manipal offers a great campus life. There are student clubs and technical clubs. Technical clubs include- The Solar Mobil Project and Formula Manipal. The dramatics societies don’t perform much but they are a great place for networking.

• Sports facilities- The college has its own semi professional leagues- MIT Cricket League and MIT Football League. 

• Food- The campus has good eateries including two Mexican restaurants. Even the hostel mess is decent over here.

• Academics- The curriculum and labs need to be updated, especially for ME and CE. Over here, learning is theoretical rather than practical. Like any other engineering college, you’ll face lots of assignments and tests. Teachers give importance only to marks. This is especially true for CSE, EEE and ECE branches.

• Faculty- The faculty for mechanical and civil is liberal and qualified. Unfortunately however, most teachers at MIT look down upon students with low grades.

• Crowd- The crowd is quite diverse. You’ll interact with people from various cultural backgrounds. Manipal gives ample freedom and opportunities to its students for their personality development. However, the fees are very high.

• Placements- Except for the top 10% in CSE and ECE, low packages are offered to students. Majority ends up getting mass recruited in brands like TCS. Student intake is increasing, and number of core companies visiting the campus is decreasing. Thus, very average placements are secured for such a high fee.

• Higher Studies- Manipal will offer support for your higher studies. Opting for an MSc. after your graduation from Manipal, is a good option.

At Manipal you’ll develop good interpersonal skills. But the fees aren’t justified considering its faculty, academics and placement quality.

Well, no the hostel fees are not included in the course fees shown on the website, you have to pay them separately. The accommodation charges for the NMIMS Shirpur campus and Mumbai campus vary from each other. I have friends studying on both campuses and they are currently paying the following charges.

• For NMIMS Shirpur campus the fees are roughly 1,20,000 per year which includes both accommodation and mess food. There are separate hostels for boys and girls within the campus itself where you get facilities like Dining Hall TV Room, Reading Room, PlayGround, Transport Facility, Medical Facility, Staff Quarters, Gym Facility, Saloons.

• For NMIMS Mumbai, the hostel fee can range from 1.3 to 1.5 lakh for 10 months which can be quite expensive. You get full-fledged hostels for girls and boys and three rented residential accommodations. The facilities are great and almost the same as the Shirpur campus. However, many students usually form groups and rent a flat near the campus which is less costly.

All in all, hostel fees especially at the Mumbai campus can be very expensive despite four-seater rooms. Also, preference is given to students who are from outside Mumbai. If you have budget constraints, you can easily rent a flat near the campus with your friends as most students do.

The process for calculating the percentage is given below

• O Grade = 7 Pointer = 70 and above
• A Grade = 6 Pointer = 60 to 69.99
• B Grade = 5 Pointer = 55 to 59.99
• C Grade = 4 Pointer = 50 to 54.99
• D Grade = 3 Pointer = 45 to 49.99
• E Grade = 2 Pointer = 40 to 44.99
• F Grade = 1 Pointer = 39.99 and below

If a person has a 5.53 CGPA on 7 point scale CGPA then - (5.53 * 10)/7 = 7.9, which is a 10-point scale CGPA

Now calculate the percentage - 7.9 CGPA*9.3 (standard number used by companies that come for placements) = 73.47%
