What is the provision for branch change in BIT Mesra?
The question does not give any details. Therefore, I will explain the two time-periods of branch change at BIT Mesra-
- During the admissions- Apart from the counseling rounds, an internal sliding takes place at the college level at BIT Mesra. You can opt for the same by filling the branch change form. If your rank is high enough and the desired branch has vacant seat(s), you will get upgraded to the branch of your choice.
- At the beginning of the Second Year- For a branch change at the beginning of your 2nd year, you need to score high grades during the first 2 semesters of your B.Tech degree. Assuming that you belong to the General Category, you will have to be among the toppers of your branch. However, even that can not guarantee you a branch of your choice. The availability of seats in a branch matters as much.
Shifting into the CSE branch is almost impossible. This is because the branch is highly demanded and thus it ends up with no vacant seats. Thus, this is the overall scenario of branch change at BIT Mesra during your B.Tech.
What should I pack while leaving for NIT trichy?
While leaving for the NIT Trichy hostel, there are a few things that you should pack as a fresher. These include:
- You will be provided with a cot but do get bedsheets and pillows with you. They do sell these items outside the hostel, however, the quality is not good.
- Do bring your locks and keychains with you. You will need a lock for your cupboard.
- Add 10 formal and 5 informal sets of clothes. You will procrastinate on washing your clothes most of the time. Therefore, keep a good amount of clothes to wear for your classes. Bring both formal shoes and sports shoes with you. I wore only formals for the first three months, but after three months I wore formals very rarely.
- Bring your clips and hangers for your clothes. The hostel will provide you with a clothesline to dry your laundry. Buy your bucket for bathing.
- Get a flask or a good quality water bottle to fill drinking water.
- Trichy is very hot during the day. People tend to get giant table fans to allow for aggressive ventilation. If you can afford it, get an air cooler. Also, add umbrellas and caps to the list.
- Do get a room freshener because the rooms stink a lot when you first enter them.
- Get a broomstick if you intend to clean your room regularly.
- Get a trolly bag with you so that whenever you wish to travel home you can pack all your essentials and get going.
If you carry these things when you arrive at the NIT Trichy hostel, you will have a good time without worrying about unnecessary stuff.
How is cusat fire and safety branch?
One of my friends shed light on the actual scenario of the Fire and Safety Department of CUSAT
- The syllabus is highly illogical and difficult to comprehend so students often lose their interest while studying.
- Students who miss any chapter or topic in the curriculum are given a compartment that they have to clear by working very hard alongside completing the huge CUSAT curriculum.
- During placements, the visiting recruiters set high cutoffs around 8–8.5 GPA in all semesters with no backlogs.
- The students who clear the written exam are called in for an interview which is very challenging. Students who clear the interview are offered lucrative packages only to realize after joining the company that the CTC was misleading and inflated.
- Fire and Safety students have no job opportunities in off-campus placements at all.
So, I will recommend you to not join the Fire and Safety branch in CUSAT at any cost.
How is mess food at NIT Warangal?
NIT Warangal is a college of national importance and you will be provided with all the facilities over there. Mess food at NIT Warangal depends on the mess. The messes are of different types-
- Private Messes - IFC (A) is a South Indian Mess, IFC (B) is a North Indian Mess and IFC (C) is for all types.
- Government Messes - Mess 1 and 2 are non-vegetarian messes, and Mess 3 is a vegetarian mess.
1st-year students get IFC (A). From 2nd year, students get to choose among all the messes except IFC (A). For your fourth year, choose IFC (B) because it serves good quality food and will be near your hostel.
Mess 3 is a good choice for vegetarians. Even IFCs serve vegetarian food. Non-vegetarian messes serve non-veg meals six days a week. They serve a good lunch but the dinner is not as good. IFC (A, B, C) are better overall because these are private messes, and the food quality, especially breakfast, is much better. In a month’s gap, there is ‘one special mess’ in every mess to refresh the taste buds of students. The mess charge for private messes is slightly higher than the government ones.
Overall, the mess food quality at NIT Warangal is quite decent.
Should IIT Patna be preferred for an M.Tech in CSE? Are NIT Tirchy, Warangal, Surathkal better than IIT Patna for an M.Tech in CSE?
Yes, NIT Trichy, Warangal, and Surathkal are better options for MTech than IIT Patna because of their superior location. The placement scenario at any institute is directly proportional to its location and proximity to tech hubs.
A location imparts better industry exposure that forms the foundation for any tech college. Consider the location as the primary factor while choosing your college. The reason I said NITs are better than IIT Patna today is because of their location and the quality of recruiters they attract as a result.
IIT Patna is a great institute but lacks the recognition yet and thus most recruiters don't visit it. So, look beyond the IIT tag a make a wise decision.
What do you think of Anna University's valuation of semester papers?
Honestly, the evaluation process at Anna University is quite messed up. There is no proper strategy behind their valuation. It’s just your luck that decides your marks.
Most of the students have to apply for revaluation, the fees for which is around INR 700 for a single paper. Apart from this if you are willing to apply for a challenge review, the cost is INR 3000. All this seems like a money making strategy. Despite revaluation students keep getting worse grades every year.
This practice is spoiling the future of so many bright students. Hope someone takes action.
I joined LHMC this year instead of any peripheral AIIMS I could have got. Now everyone is saying they will be better in a few years and I'm freaking out now?
No, you certainly made the right choice by choosing LGMC over any other peripheral AIIMS. I have seen many medical aspirants run after the AIIMS tag and choose a peripheral AIIMS only to regret it later. Only the ones that have been established for about 5–6 years are worth taking admission in.
In my opinion, it’s better to go for a medical college that has a legacy of more than 10 years as it will be better academically, environmentally, and even in terms of the campus life it offers. Choosing LHMC will expose you to better opportunities especially because of its prime location in CP. Moreover, it also has Delhi Quota for MD. The clinical exposure is also unmatched and the internship opportunities will be plentiful.
So, put your worries to rest as you have made a wise decision by choosing LHMC over a peripheral AIIMS.

How is a MSc Finance from JBIMS?
While considering the worth of any program you should consider 3 factors namely curriculum, peer learning, and profiles offered. Let’s discuss M.Sc Finance from JBIMS on the basis of the following factors
- Curriculum: The course structure is pretty good and the quality of knowledge one acquires is also decent. Experienced alumni are invited to hold sessions that explore corporate values. The teaching faculty is also learned and experienced.
- Peer group: Only 30 seats are available for this course so only the best and the cream students are selected. This is also why the peer crowd is extremely talented and there is cut-throat competition. Good peer learning enriched the overall experience of the program.

The students are encouraged to participate in competitions to upgrade their skills and gain exposure. Sharing the campus with MBA students adds up to the overall experience.
