DJ
Devansh Jha Posted On : May 15th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Bangalore

IIM Bangalore is known for having one of the most beautiful college campuses in India. Few of the splendid amenities are single-room accommodations, almost 24-hour eating points, best sports facilities in any of the IIMs.
The average duration of lecture hours per day in the first year is 6 hours which reduces in the consecutive years depending upon the electives chosen in each term.
Students of IIM Bangalore have a 5-day working week, with quizzes and exams scheduled on weekends as well. Rarely, extra classes are scheduled on weekends in case of mid-week offs. There are more than 25 clubs promoting academics and extracurriculars. There is one club for each specialization in addition to music, dramatics, and sports clubs. These clubs are good for socializing as well as taking a break from academics. There are excellent sports facilities, both indoor and outdoor, like badminton, basketball, volleyball, football, cricket, tennis, pool table, etc. to mention a few.
IIT Bangalore has excellent accommodation facilities that promote harmony between juniors and seniors. Students of the same batch usually are made to stay within the same blocks.

Why do students leave BHU?

AS
Amita Santra Posted On : November 15th, 2022
Economics from Banaras Hindu University (Graduated 2018)

Although BHU has the best faculty and management, many students tend to leave BHU after a few days. They feel isolated and homesick. Also, the teachers have a lot of political influence. The administration does not let you take a stand for yourself. A lot of inter students riots take place here.

Also, BHU has a sustaining hierarchy and preferential treatment that seeps down to the education part as well. Ex-students become professors without external exposure. So they bring much lesser value in terms of ethics, fair marking, and admission system.

I think these are some minor reasons why students keep leaving BHU after admission.

What is life like at DU?

KJ
Karuna Jaiswal Posted On : October 4th, 2022
Studied Economics at University of Delhi (Graduated 2017)

Here is what a 2012 DU Hansraj College graduate has to say about life at DU.

As a 17 years old boy who had received high marks in 12th grade, his expectations were as high as they should have been. But, over time, he realized that DU is just like any other university in a sense that it gives you a name but not necessarily a job. So, he went through the typical Indian education system, i.e., focusing on grades rather than fundamentals. 

So, after enrolling in DU's Physics Hons, he skipped classes and concentrated on concepts, but the results were still disappointing. He wasn't getting good grades or gaining a lot of knowledge. But after three years, he realized that success is impossible without in-depth knowledge. He got admitted to IIT Bombay after putting in a lot of effort, and that completely changed his life. 

The DU experience is the most joyful, as he claims. He says he is a foodie who enjoys eating, studying, and traveling. Thus, below mentioned are a few places recommended by him:

  1. Amba Cinema- It is well-known for its whistling. He has visited the theater quite frequently and seen movies like Gabbar is Back, Baby, and many more.

  2. Chole Bhature of Rawalpindi

  3. The Kamla Nehru Ridge

  4. Miranda House

Life changes, and we should embrace it. The University of Delhi is not merely a dream university where students are keen to study, but it is an emotion. An intense sentiment is attached to the hearts of the students. Life here feels immensely simple yet happening. We meet different kinds of people in every phase of life that we spend here. It gives so many experiences, both beautiful and harsh, to learn, explore and understand the truth of life. Almost everyone is friendly, polite, helpful, thoughtful and cooperative. The primary draws at DU are the annual college fests. You get to have a wonderful experience and enjoy extraordinary performances by popular celebrities that you would never have seen in your entire life.

SG
Sugandhi Garg Posted On : October 3rd, 2022
Studied Computer Science at National Institute of Technology, Agartala

NIT Agartala is a decent option in terms of academics, hostel, facilities, studies, and placements. Academics are decent. But there aren’t many chances for research. Professors are well-experienced and supportive but most of the time you need to depend on self-study. 

Being a Central Govt. college, NITA offers good facilities. The departmental library, workshops, and laboratories are well-equipped. It offers virtual class facilities. ISRO has an innovation incubation center on the campus of NITA. 

The institute has a decent placement record. According to the recent highlights of NIT Agartala placements, the highest and average CTC offered was INR 36 LPA, and 5 LPA, respectively.
