Can I get a call from IIM Shillong at 92.24 percentile?

PG

Lives in New Delhi

My sister received a call from IIM Shillong at 91.5 percentile, a few years back. But she had other things working for her like gender diversity, academic diversity, and a work experience of 2 years. Don’t lose hope, and prepare for the interview. If it doesn’t work, try again next year. But if the opportunity does knock on your door, be prepared to receive it.

What happens when one gets a year back at VTU? Do I have to rewrite all the exams from that year again?

IC
Ipsita Chaterjee Posted On : October 21st, 2021
B.E. Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Visvesvaraya Technological University

I have a few friends who graduated from VTU and here are their insights about this.

  • As per VTU rules, any year, you can carry 4 backs of the previous year into the next year.
  • You need to clear all 4 backs from the previous year in the next year. You can carry 4 backs from the current year again to the next year. This circle goes on until you reach your final year. 
  • If you fail to clear your backs in some years’ time, you will be considered as NFFTE (not fit for technical education) by VTU.
  • If you have 5 subjects back then you will need to clear at least one subject and join next year. You will have the chance to clear all subjects that year and join as a fresh entry next year without any backlogs for the second year. 
  • But try to clear all your subjects every year. If you can manage to clear your labs with 95% and get first-class in theory, you will get an aggregate of distinction. 
  • Try to score well in your internals. If you can score 22+ in your internals, there is a good chance that you will be able to get first-class. 
  • Make sure that your internal score doesn’t go below 15. If you score below 15 in internals, you may end up failing the subject, even if you score the passing mark, i.e. 35 in external. 

Now, if you are opting for revaluation, you can get permission for attending the classes until you get the revaluation result by applying to the college administration. You may need to pay some extra fee for that. 

If you have good aggregate and decent logical reasoning and communication skills then you can get a good job via campus placement after completing your degree.

What is the stipend offered for a DM in neurology at NIMHANS? Their prospectus is not clear.

The post-MBBS neurology course is taught by a Junior Resident for two years, for which he is paid around 55–65k depending on tax savings and HRA. After this, he serves as a senior resident for 3 years and receives a salary in the range of m 65–88k depending on tax savings and HRA. Usually, there is an increment of 3k every year.

Hope this helps you!

How good or bad is CSE in NIT Patna?

AS
Aditi Sinha Posted On : August 31st, 2023
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Patna (2020)

NIT Patna is a decent choice for your CSE. The faculty isn’t top-notch and won’t really go out of their way to guide and support you. The curriculum is as challenging as any other Engineering institute.

The placements are witnessing an increase year on year. During 2021 placements, the highest package of 44 LPA was offered to a single student from B.Tech CSE by Adobe. Companies like Microsoft, Google, Samsung, and Amazon visit the campus for IT recruitment. IBM also recruits candidates from CSE. The average CTC during 2020 placements stood at INR 8.93 LPA for the CSE department. 

The campus life at NIT Patna isn’t really great and the infrastructure is also not the best. Patna, however, offers coaching facilities for CAT/ IES/ GATE aspirants. Also, the new Bihta campus of NIT Patna is expected to come into existence soon.

Overall, NIT Patna CSE is a decent choice. You will be responsible for enhancing and polishing your skills through online platforms.

Which is better between MBA from IGNOU or Symbiosis distance?

AS
Aditri Sinha Posted On : May 25th, 2022
MBA Human Resources, Indira Gandhi National Open University

IGNOU is better for an MBA compared to Symbiosis distance. The course work is challenging. It’s not easy to clear papers unless you go through the study materials thoroughly. The curriculum is a bit old but it’s effective. 

If you are hard-working and have relevant work experience, you can get recruitment opportunities after doing your MBA. IGNOU MBA is even valid for PhD/Govt. jobs too.

What is the credit system of IGNOU? How do I select a subject?

NS
Neeraj Sethi Posted On : October 18th, 2022
M.A in Public Administration, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

If you apply for a BSc (Maths), for example, it means you want to study math.

  • You must choose two elective subjects from the four available ( Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and Life Science).

  • To major in math, you must complete at least 40 credits in math.

  • If you want to major in math, you must take MTE 1, 2, and 4-9. These subjects will earn you 28 points. MTE 10 to 14 can be used to obtain the remaining 12 credits (for a minimum of 40 credits) to 20 credits (for a maximum of 48 credits in a subject).

  • The three-year course requires 96 credits, with 32 credits required each year.

  • Your foundation courses will total 16 credits in your first year. And you'll need 32 credits in a year. To meet that requirement, you can take MTE 1,2,4,5,6, or you can drop one paper and replace it with a second elective subject of your choice.

  • You have 8 credits for foundation courses in the second year. The remaining 32 credits must be satisfied by Math papers and the second elective.

Electives and application-oriented courses are available in the third year (AOC). AOC requires 16 or 8 credits in this case. This is because elective courses can take either 56 or 64 credits over the course of the semester. As previously stated, if you aim for a minimum of 40 credits, you only need 56 credits from electives and can have 16 credits from AOC. Alternatively, a maximum of 48 elective credits will leave you with 8 credits for AOC.

There are some subjects that must be taken together, such as MTE 4 and MTE 5. Subjects from the first year can be taken in the second or third year, but not in the first year. There are courses that have prerequisites and corequisites. Please make sure you take those so that you can study easily.

Applying online eliminates the possibility of accidentally taking the same subject twice. You also don't have to be concerned about credit fulfillment or subjects that must be taken concurrently.

SG
Souvick Gupta Posted On : August 2nd, 2023
Studied at IIIT Hyderabad (2018)

The ECE program at IIIT Hyderabad is more focused on IT than Electronics because IIIT Hyderabad itself is an IT institute. Other colleges have a lot of non-IT courses in the first year  of their ECE program whereas IIIT Hyderabad ECE has no such courses in the firsts year 

ECE stands for many things in different places. ECE in IIIT is Electronics and communication engineering. However, unlike Electronics in other institutes. IIIT Hyderabad ECE program does not include courses such as electrical machines, electric drives, power systems, power electronics, and related labs and workshops. 

The students of both ECE and CSE at IIIT Hyderabad are taught common courses sin the first year after which students can take CS courses as electives. Some of these include Statistical Methods in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Artificial Neural and Networks (ANN). 

 IIIT Hyderabad does not have official CS and ECE departments enabling students from any stream to join any research center irrespective of the program they are enrolled in. 

IIIT Hyderabad ECE placements are great

Placement %

100%

Highest CTC 

INR 46 LPA

Overall, ECE at IIIT Hyderabad is certainly a great choice!
