How was your first day at NIT Srinagar?

NA
Noorie Aziz Posted On : September 20th, 2023
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Srinagar (J&K) (Graduated 2020)

My brother shared his first-day experience at NIT Srinagar. He reached the campus at around 5 in the evening and was escorted to the DH-1 where the admission process was going on. He saw many other students in the hall and felt a sense of relief. He was informed that he wasnt late for the admission as the date had extended and he felt relief. He made a call home and updated them about the situation.

He then approached a security guard who told him to go to the Indus Hostel. He carried his heavy luggage all alone all the way to the 3rd floor. Most of the rooms were occupied by his batchmates. He then took a bath and got ready to explore. He interacted with a few seniors who came as friendly. It was hard to find a vacant room and when he did, he realized the fan wasnt working. Nevertheless, he lay down and fell fast asleep as he was extremely tired after the journey. Luckily, he made a few friends on the same day who asked him to share the room with them. 

Overall, the first-day experience was a mix of all emotions, nervousness, and happiness and is a fresh memory to date.

How much donation does Anna University demand for a student with 85 in his 12th grade final examination?

SD
Shivani Dutt Posted On : December 3rd, 2022
Cofounder, Genie.

Your donation is not affected by your percentage. A student who receives a 60% will pay the same amount as a student who receives a 95%. One of your parents must be an employee or a business owner in the industry that is sponsoring you.

There is another option called "NRI Quota," where you would have to pay 22L for any department. This does not include the exorbitant NRI hostel fees.

Which college should I choose for a B.Arch. under the NIT/SPA?

SB
Shivani Behera Posted On : August 31st, 2021
M.BEM Building Engineering and Management, School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi (2019)

Firstly a hearty congratulations to you for scoring a good rank in JEE Main. However, it is quite difficult to get a seat at SPA Delhi in this rank. The 2nd best option can be SPA Bhopal. Moreover, SPA Vijayawada is relatively newer and cannot be trusted.

I have friends studying at both Bhopal and Vijayawada, from what I've heard, Bhopal is a better option. SPAs are purely design institutes and thus the exposure would be greater. 

Since your chances at SPA D are quite on edge, you can instead look for the following colleges in order of preference: 

NIT Nagpur> NIT Bhopal> SPA Bhopal> NIT Jaipur> SPA Vijayawada and so on.

If you want to go for NITs, choose the one with better infrastructure, weather, and a diverse crowd. There are many other good institutes as well but do your proper research and take the right decision for yourself.

Can I do a BTech in computer science from IGNOU?

MS
Munta Shabir Posted On : November 3rd, 2022
B.Tech from APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University

In this era, if you want to engage in computer science, you don't need a degree. Unfortunately, the Indian system values degrees as well as relevant skills. All you need is a good computer, an internet connection, and a desire to learn. If you cannot afford four years or a large tuition fee for engineering, consider taking some related courses such as mathematics, statistics, or commerce.

You can learn skills on your own using free and paid online platforms, complete projects related to your skill set, and you'll be employable, possibly better than an engineering graduate.

Practicals (Lab sessions) are regarded as the backbone of engineering courses in other branches (though our colleges give much more importance to theory). 

Many prestigious institutes outside of India are focusing on "outcome-based education." That is, simply having the certificate and having no idea what you did in college, or simply studying for the sake of passing the exam, isn't a big deal. You must be an authority in your field.

How do I update my basic GK for exams like the NID and CEED?

SR
Sourav Rathi Posted On : February 2nd, 2021
M.Des from National Institute of Design (2019)

NID and CEED are national level entrance exams for design programmes, held by National Institute of Design and IIT Bombay respectively. The syllabus for both the exams is lengthy and comprehensive, the common one being the general knowledge portion. 

Now, the general knowledge topic is vast and challenging so here are some tips for preparing for the topic:

  • Try to read and stay up to date with regional and national news. Cover all the subtopics such as politics, technology, sports, cultural, environment and social issues. All the subtopics are pertinent and require extensive reading.
  • Try to be observant and engaging with your surrounding. The best way to do so is to use your camera, you must capture things and objects that interest you. 
  • Read important editorials published in popular newspapers like The Hindu, The Times of India and Hindustan Times to know more about relevant social and political issues.
  • Read basic general knowledge facts related to subjects like history, geography and science. Try to cover and explore the cultural and regional history of India. You should have a basic knowledge about the art, cultural and handicraft of each Indian state if you want to crack the exams.

General Knowledge is a vast subject and the best way to prepare is to read newspapers, editorials and solve questions related to general knowledge.

What should be the preference order for the following: NIT Surathkal EEE, NIT Warangal EEE, NIT Trichy EEE, MANIT Bhopal (hometown) EE, MNNIT Allahabad EE, NIT Calicut EE, and MNIT Jaipur EE?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : August 19th, 2023

For EE/EEE, out of NIT Surathkal, NITW, NIT Trichy, MANIT Bhopal, MNNIT Allahabad, NIT Calicut, and MNIT Jaipur, I would suggest three institutes in the following order of preference-

  1. NIT Surathkal
  2. NIT Trichy
  3. NIT Warangal

My best friend is studying EEE at NITK and he is quite happy with the department. The teachers in the department are a bit strict. But if you bring up a good project idea and stay attentive in their class, you’ll be in a good position. Also, scoring good grades can be a bit tough, but with hardwork and good preparation, you will surely ace your exams. 

In terms of EEE placements, NITK, NIT Trichy, and NITW are all equally good options.

As a NITK student, you will get certain benefits. These are-

  1. NITK is the only institute in India to have a private beach.
  2. Among the three institutes that I have listed, NITK is the most suitable for people from other parts of India. Even though there is a 50% state quota, you will find plenty of North Indians and people from other parts of India. You will rarely face a language barrier because most people on campus understand English.
  3. You can showcase your technical skills at the IEEE technical club of NITK.
  4. Technites of ‘Engineer’, the techfest of NITK, does some brilliant work with electronics.

Thus, out of NIT Calicut, NITK, NITW, and all the other options listed by you, I would suggest you to choose NITK Surathkal for your EEE.

Why is IMT Ghaziabad not as good as it was before?

AB
Akshara Bachkheti Posted On : January 25th, 2023
PGDM Finance, Institute of Management Technology, Ghaziabad (2019)

 IMT Ghaziabad was considered one of the best B Schools in the early 2000 or the late 90s.In recent years, it has witnessed a slight decline in its quality of education. This stems from the increment in the batch size thereby declining the talent pool of candidates. The CAT cutoff was reduced to attract more and more candidates. This resulted in substandard crowds and low competition. Another reason was the previous director whose major aim was to earn money. 

Recently again though IMT Ghaziabad is gaining fame because of its new director Dr. Atish Chattopadhyay who is managing the institution excellently. He has reduced the students intake and increased the cutoff. He is constantly working towards improving the lost image of the institution.

The college offers excellent placement opportunities and its low average package is the result of large batch-size only. So don’t just look at placement reports, ask the alumni about its recent improvements.

Are BHU and IIT BHU the same institute ?

TG
Tejaswani Guha Posted On : June 16th, 2022
B.Sc from Banaras Hindu University

Although BHU and IIT BHU share the same campus, these are not the same. BHU is a central university that consists of many faculties and departments. IIT BHU used to be a part of BHU until it become an IIT. Now, it is an autonomous institute and works independently according to the IIT rules and regulations. BHU authority doesn’t have any authority over the management and decision of IIT BHU. 

But these two institutes share some common campus facilities such as auditorium, badminton-squash court, swimming pool, etc.
