Which is the best between DTU & NSUT?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : July 5th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Both DTU and NSUT are tier-1 engineering colleges offering excellent education and opportunities to their students. However, while choosing one over the other you would like to consider the following points 

  • NSUT has a number of CS-related courses and gives an edge over its counterparts in terms of internships and placements.
  • NSUT does not function under the umbrella of DU anymore.
  • The authority of NSUT is very lethargic and thus the standards of fests conducted are also very poor. 
  • NSUT has very few core opportunities.
  • In NSUT, very few marks are allotted despite the students working hard. A poor GPA often affects your placements.
  • There are strict rules for attendance here so you might not be able to enjoy college life.

In all, DTU seems to be a better option than NSUT.

Are you enjoying your life in IIT Bombay?

PG
Pratik Gandhi Posted On : March 17th, 2023
B.Tech. CSE, IIT Bombay

 Yes, absolutely. Life at IIT Bombay is extremely enjoyable. If you want to enjoy your life at IITB, here are some tips that you may find helpful:

  • Don't listen to others, especially when someone is giving you unnecessary advices. Not each one of the pieces of advice can be beneficial for you, so it's important to do what you want to do and not waste your non-academic time.
  • Don't worry about what others think of you. It's important to ignore people who are not good for you and live your life the way you want to.
  • Focus on building a great set of friends who you enjoy spending time with. Quality is more important than quantity when it comes to friendships.
  • If you don't feel like you need to attend every summit or cultural or sports event, then don’t. Do the things that interest you and bring you joy, rather than being guided by anyone.
  • Develop good study habits and study regularly throughout the week.
  • Take time on the weekends to do things you enjoy, like watching movies, going out, talking to friends and family, or exploring your hobbies and interests.

Remember that it's important to not do things under peer pressure. Stay true to yourself and do what makes you happy, even if it's not what others expect of you. If you do so, you are going to enjoy your life at IIT Bombay to the fullest.

What is the best coaching across India to prepare for the CEED, NID and NIFT exam?

DG
Deepa Garg Posted On : February 2nd, 2021
Fashion Design Student at NIFT Bangalore (2019)

If you are passionate and serious about a career in design, then try to rely on your potential, aptitude and knowledge about the subject matter. All design entrance exams value creativity and originality, and no coaching centre can help you ‘learn’ creativity or instil originality in you. 

Following are a brief overview of the exams:

Categories

CEED 

NID

NIFT

Conducting Body

IIT Bombay

National Institute of Design

National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT)

Exam Level

National Level

National Level

National Level

Exam Duration

3 hours

2:30 -3 hours

2-3 hours

Thus, instead of paying huge sums of money to coaching centres, you can follow some of these suggestions:

  • Be observant. Try to notice and observe everyday objects and things from a design perspective. You must analyse details, designs and shadows of daily objects; think about them in an original manner.
  • Study colour schemes for the entrances. Questions related to colours are absolutely necessary. Representation and their symbolism is a must.
  • Study advertisements on television and various social media platforms. A lot depends on these, so try to study them, their purpose and targets.
  • To improve your English language skills, you can read newspapers and articles. It is the best way to develop an extensive vocabulary, and brush up on your general knowledge. A huge portion of the exam is dedicated to language skills, so try to build your vocabulary, study idioms and common phrases and more.
  • Brush up on your mathematical skills. If you understand the basics and you can easily score well in the math section of the exam.
  • Try solving questions related to logical reasoning as frequently as possible. Logical reasoning is extremely scoring and a significant section in various exams.
  • Arihant Self Study Guide is the best book for design preparation. It is thorough, covers all the aspects of the exam and helps you prepare properly. You must solve previous year questions to get a grasp over the type of questions asked and the level difficulty of the exam. 

These are some of the alternatives to coaching centres which you can follow in order to crack the exam. Rather spending money on coaching classes, try these suggestions to crack the exams.

Which college is better for an MCh Neurosurgery AIIMS Delhi or NIMHANS?

PM
Priya Mathur, Posted On : October 19th, 2021
MD Psychiatry from Department of Psychiatry at National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (2018)

This is very difficult to differentiate, as both of them are hugely notable for Neurosurgery. But like every other institution, they also have their fair share of pros and cons. Let me discuss some facts about both the institutes, analyzing which you can make your final decision.

  • AIIMS has given many good Neurosurgeons. It has a high credibility value.
  • It has got a dedicated trauma centre, cadaveric training and research facility, neurosurgical education and training school, and animal dissection lab.
  • NIMHANS is a dedicated mental health and neurosciences institute. 
  • It has got NBRC - Neuro-Biology Research Centre which provides proper infrastructure for research and technology advancement.
  • There is no difference in the quality of work, patient management protocol, etc. at both institutes.
  • The only thing bothering the students of AIIMS is the increase in faculty members. This divides the surgical work and less share comes on part of residents.
  • NIMHANS has fewer faculty members as compared to AIIMS.

You can also choose the college favoring your location. North Indians generally opt for AIIMS while South Indians will go for NIMHANS.

Ultimately, it depends on the student’s choice, because both the institutions are equally good. But a university name does not matter, it might give you the first push but after that your training and your work will speak for themselves.

Which college is better for an MCh Neurosurgery: AIIMS Delhi or NIMHANS?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : June 1st, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

Both AIIMS and NIMHANS have been excellent institutes for neurosurgery. Both the institutes have their unique strengths and weaknesses. It’s better to weigh the pros and cons before coming to a final decision.

AIIMS Delhi

  • AIIMS has given birth to elite neurosurgeons and enjoys a great level of credibility and global recognition. 
  • The neurosurgery department has top-notch infrastructure and all the modern facilities you could ask for. 
  • There is a dedicated trauma center, in addition to cadaveric training and research facility, neurosurgical education and training school, and an animal dissection lab.

NIMHANS

  • NIMHANS is a dedicated mental health and neurosciences institute.
  • It has an NBRC - neurobiology research center which provides necessary resources for research and technology advancement.

Both AIIMS Delhi and NIMHANS are equally good in terms of the amount of work, patient management protocol, and infrastructure. The only issue at AIIMS Delhi is the increasing staff as a result of which the surgical work gets divided and residents get less work. NIMHANS on the other hand has a lesser faculty count which does not necessarily mean more work. 

Ultimately, it’s your performance that determines your success and not your institute. Institute just lays down the stepping stones for your future.

Should I upgrade to KMC Manipal from KMC Mangalore?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : September 30th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Here are some advantages of both, KMC Manipal and KMC Mangalore-

Advantages of KMC Mangalore-

  1. It is attached to three government hospitals- Lady Goschen (for OBG), Wenlock (for other specialties, except pediatrics), and RAPCC (for pediatrics). So you’ll get to see a variety of patients. You may work on 100+ cases during your OPD days. You’ll also get to see how differently government and private hospitals work.
  2. Mangalore has all the travel facilities- flight, bus, train, and even ship.
  3. You can access malls, good restaurants and other such luxuries in Mangalore.
  4. The Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations are worth waiting for.

Advantages of KMC Manipal-

  1. It has a state-of-the-art library.
  2. You’ll enjoy campus life, and meet students from different countries and streams (Engineering, Hotel Management, Visual Media, etc).
  3. KMC Manipal is a much bigger brand.

I really had an amazing time at KMC Mangalore. If you want more clinical exposure, stay at KMC Mangalore. The theory classes are at par in both. As a KMC student, if you are among the top 8 for the first 2 years, you’ll get the opportunity to attend a month-long externship in the Netherlands.
