What is the future of LLM from IIT Kharagpur? Is it better than other LLM colleges
I will not suggest you to join RGSOIPL, IIT Kharagpur because of a number of reasons
- RGSOIPL still has a two-year programme while most Law Schools have changed the duration of the program to one year only. Wasting an additional year is not worth it.
- The LLM program lacks the necessary coursework and relevancy of the curriculum mainly because the administration has zero knowledge about specializations.
- The faculty is focused on the flagship program that is LLB and hardly cares about LLM students. It also lacks the necessary skills to teach the program effectively.
- The institution does not permit students to opt for internships during vacations rather want them to work in their sponsored projects.
I would suggest you choose premier institutes for LLM such as - BHU, AMU, DU, NLSIU, NUJS, NALSAR.
Among IIT Kharagpur, BITS Goa, IISER and Niser, which institute is best for physics (udergraduate) research?
The main agenda of IISERs and NISER is to promote research culture and motivate the students to conduct extensive research as a part of their curriculum.
My friend was a student at NISER and she loved the research environment there. She claimed the physics faculties to be extremely proficient in their respective areas of research. In fact, the Head of the Department of Physics even bagged the Shanti Swaroop Bhatnagar Prize.
Specifically speaking, it has great scope in high energy physics and condensed matter physics. The lab facilities of the new campus are top-notch. Moreover, the UG course of the School of Physical Sciences at NISER is comprehensive and covers various areas of physics such as quantum mechanics, relativity, cosmology, etc. The best part is that you get the chance to attend 242 credit coursework in rider to fulfill your MSc integrated course.
Which is better in placements: mechanical engineering dual degree at IIT Kharagpur or electrical engineering at IIT Roorkee?
Let me ask you genuinely, are you sure a high package is enough to satisfy you irrespective of the type of work you will be doing? If you go for Electrical Engineering at IIT Roorkee for lucrative placements and end up with average grades and a below-average package, you suffer. All the more even if you get placed with a good package but have no interest in the job, then after some time it will become a burden for you.
The first and foremost thing is to change your mindset and look at things from a bigger perspective. Your criteria for judging a certain should include much more than just placements. You can analyze some things like checking what intrigued you the most during your +2 levels.
If it is Mechanics, fluids, and Thermodynamics that excites you, then you should go for Mechanical Engineering.
If you are inclined towards Electric circuits, Electromagnetism, then your department is Electrical Engineering.
Basically, placements depend on your academics and grades. It’s likely that a top student from Mining ends up with a higher package than an average student of Electrical Engineering. Money and education combined should be the determining factors and not money alone. After all, your education must motivate you enough to secure the best package.
Which option is better, IIT Roorkee for geological technology or IIT Kharagpur for applied geology and exploration geophysics?
There are many reasons why I will suggest you to go for IIT Kharagpur for applied geology and exploration geophysics. Some of these reasons include,
- Being an older IIT, IIT KGP has a much broader alumni base than Roorkee which in turn proves to be useful for higher education.
- In case you lose interest in Core geology you are always open to sitting for non-core placements which are in abundance at IIT KGP because of the alumni network.
- The curriculum at IIT KGP is way better than Roorkee in the sense that it is rigorous and much more industry relevant than Roorkee.
- IIT KGP has good administrative support and one can get funded for conferences.
- Being an MSc course, you can avail INSPIRE Scholarship given that you have a good GPA.
These points are more than enough of a deciding factor for you.
How are hostel rooms allotted at IIT Kharagpur?
IIT Kharapur has around 18-20 hostels. There are 2 main girl hostels that will be allotted to you way before you reach IIT KGP for admission.
Once you reach, that particular hostel will go through your documents and a lot of room. The rooms are usually double occupancy so you can ask for sharing the room with a specific friend also. You are also allowed to change your rooms after 15-20 days provided that you inform the hostel authority of the same and get registered under the new room.
Can any one enlighten me regarding the MS(by research) program at IIT Kharagpur?
While many confuse MTech and MS as similar, both programs have extremely different perspectives. Hence their worth and demand cannot be rightly compared.
The two major points of difference are that
- MTech has a fixed duration of 2 years whereas MS has no fixed duration and is completed whenever your professor decides.
- MTech is a good option for those looking for high packages whereas MS is for the ones passionate about research.
MS is usually completed once all your research work comes to an end in addition to the first year's coursework. Most people opt for PhDs from top foreign universities. Admission to such universities becomes easy if you have some valuable publications under your name.
Job prospects: Once you have completed your Ph.D. from a reputed university, you can enter teaching professors in top universities. Another option is the R and D section of some elite companies of the world. So we can safely conclude that both MTech and MS have their own individual benefits.
How safe are the IIT Roorkee and IIT Kharagpur campuses for female students?
Both IIT Roorkee and IIT KGP have top-notch security on campus and are extremely safe for female students so you can rest all your worries. Infact, the quality standards of the security are pretty good considering the fact that it is a government Institute.
- There is a police station inside campus
- 24/7 security guards are on standby
- Some labs have biometric door locking systems, enabling you to work late at night
- Even late at night, you can see people roaming freely
However, the campus has many dogs and other animals, which might scare many people. These are usually harmless unless you provoke them.
Which college will be best for an MTech in industrial engineering out of IITB, IITKGP, IITK, and NITIE?
IIT B is the best option among these for pursuing an MTech in Industrial Engineering. Your preference order should be IITB>IIT KGP>IIT K>NITIE. IIT B has an innovative course curriculum. You will learn optimizing techniques and algorithms. The course work and curriculum inspire research.
Companies such as Deloitte, Mahindra, Accenture, Sony, etc. visit the campus placements. The highest salary offered for MTech Industrial Engineering goes up to INR 19 LPA.
Which is better, IIT Kharagpur for CSE or IIT Delhi for maths and computing?
Firstly, there is no right choice as it all depends on your personal preference rather than the Institute. My friend was in a similar dilemma and ended up choosing IITD MCA mainly because it was closer to his home than Kharagpur. So a certain Institute can be a good choice for you but not for the other person. It’s better to talk to people from both the institutes and determine which is a better option for you than comparing the institutes based on data.
- Faculty: Some professors surely are weird or you can say over rigorous but such professors can be found in any department be it CSE or Electrical. On the bright side, there are some very cooperative and learned professors who teach their subjects so well, people fall in love with their subjects.
- Curriculum: The curriculum is quite a good one introducing you to a lot of areas in theoretical and applied Math like Topology, Linear Algebra, Probability etc. Most people who claim to have been Math lovers realize that they haven’t really been introduced to the world of Mathematics until now.
- Alumni: IIT Delhi has many alumni working in finance and tech industries while some are even leading such industries. This guarantees a high paying job to a certain extent provided that you have maintained a good GPA.
- Campus: IIT Kharagpur is located in a very location and is so huge that it makes commuting a difficult task. IIT Delhi on the other hand is located in the center of the city with many places to explore nearby. Again, I will suggest you make an informed decision after talking to people from both the institutes.
How are the girls hostels at IIT Kharagpur?
For UG girls IIT KGP has two main halls of residence: Sarojini Naidu Hall (SN) and Mother Teresa Hall(MT).
SN Hall
The Hall firmly believes in its motto: Sanskrita Striya Shakti. Some highlights of this Hall are
- This is the most lively and oldest hall at the institute which has managed to promote both academics and social and cultural activities in the form of events and competitions, organized by students, Gymkhana. The students of this hall are majorly involved in the spring fest, Kshitij, etc.
- The hall is divided into A, B, H, E, F, G, N, NR, W, and S blocks in four different buildings.
- The Hostel boasts its own basketball court, a well-equipped gym for health freaks, and table tennis facilities.
- Singing and dancing activities are practiced in the music room which has all the necessary facilities for the same.
- The hall also has its own student-driven library that issues the required books to all the wingmates for a complete semester.
- Food at this hostel is pretty good, and there is a night canteen food stall and a Nescafe within the hall that satisfies the untimely cravings of the hostellers.
- There are two common rooms; an old one and a comparatively new one that has a TV Connection, projector screen and is well furnished
- You get the privilege to stay at the same hall where famous personalities like Dr Parvati Dev (B.S.1968) Director, Stanford University School of Medicine, and President, IIT Foundation, Dr Nina Saxena (B Tech 1992), stayed.
MT Hall
This hall is similar in almost all aspects to SN Hall. Specifically talking about girls, the hostels are safe and there is a sense of freedom like no other.
