Hey there!

I'm in my second year at CMC Ludhiana now, and I can say it's a fun place to be. The first year can be pretty busy because there's a lot to cover in the syllabus in a short time.

Our classes run from 8 AM to 4 PM, and we study Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, and Ethics. We have a diverse group of 75 students in our class.

The hostels are really nice, much better than those at government colleges, and the students manage the mess. The food is decent.

The professors here are very knowledgeable and experienced. They might seem a bit strict, but it's to help us do well academically. Thanks to their efforts, I even got a university rank.

The one downside is the campus isn't very green. I have to walk through a busy road with a lot of traffic every morning from the hostel to the college.

Despite that, life is exciting with things like socializing in the anatomy dissection hall, practicals, and going out with friends. We have crazy hostel parties, too. It's a great experience!

Hope you enjoy reading! Oh, and I'm sharing some pictures from this year's Christmas celebrations.

I joined DMC Ludhiana back in 2011, so the fees were different then. From what I remember recently, the fees are divided into three types: Government seat, Management seat, and NRI seat. For a Government seat, the tuition fee is around 3.5 lakhs, with a 10% increase each year. The Management seat costs about 6.5 lakhs, also with a 10% annual increase. If you're looking at an NRI seat, it's about 1 lakh 10 thousand US dollars.

Besides tuition, there are other expenses like hostel fees, mess, electricity, water, library, and other miscellaneous charges, adding up to around 75–80 thousand per year. This info is from a year or two ago, so it's just a rough idea. Good luck with your studies!

I wrote this piece as part of my attempt to join the committee that connects with future IIM students. Although I didn't get selected, I still wanted to share it with everyone.

LIFE AT IIM KASHIPUR

Imagine a girl from a small town in Jharkhand, a boy who's never left his city, another from the NCR, and a guy who's spent three years in an MNC. They all had different lives but shared a dream: to study at an IIM. Little did they know, they'd spend the next two years at IIM Kashipur, nestled in the Himalayas. This isn't just their story but the story of many who call IIM Kashipur home for two years.

Here at IIM Kashipur, you'll find a mix of people from all walks of life, speaking different languages and bringing unique stories. When they join, they become part of the IIM Kashipur family. From the intense induction program that hints at what the next two years hold to the surprise fresher’s party by seniors, it’s everything you hear about life at an IIM.

Life here isn't easy, with loads of assignments, readings, projects, case studies, quizzes, and those early morning classes, even on weekends. But as time goes on, you get used to it. Rushing to morning classes feels like an Olympic sprint for attendance, but it’s worth it for the knowledge you gain. Late-night project discussions at the canteens turn out to be fun, not a chore. Weekend classes might mess with your plans, but a free weekday makes up for it.

Even with all the studying and lectures, everyone makes time for their favorite sports, hanging out, partying, and hobbies. Plus, students here celebrate every festival with joy and enthusiasm.

As students of IIM Kashipur, we can say,

"The path is ready, the goal is set, We just need to follow it, aiming to be the best"

For the PGDM program, TAPMI is a solid choice among Tier-3 colleges. It has a steady track record in the job market. If you're into marketing, it shines in that area, offering good profiles. It's a reliable choice, but you should also weigh it against any other offers you have.

Studying at Sri Venkateswara College for my Bachelor of Arts in Economics has its fair share of downsides. First off, the curriculum can feel quite outdated. While it covers essential economic concepts, there’s a lack of emphasis on practical applications and modern issues like data science, which are crucial in today’s job market.

Additionally, the pressure from frequent exams and assignments can be overwhelming, leaving little room for deep understanding. The placement cell does work hard, but the average package is around 6 to 7 LPA, which isn’t great compared to some other colleges. Overall, while it’s a decent college, there are areas that definitely need improvement.

The CAT cut-off for PGDM and PGDM-IB courses at BIMTECH Greater Noida was 70 percentile this year. The total cost, including hostel and mess fees, is over 14 lakhs, but it's best to check their website for the most accurate info. They also offer courses in Retail Management and Insurance Business Management, which have lower cut-offs than 70 percentile. These programs cost about 12 lakhs. Besides your personal expenses, there's not much additional spending. The school organizes a one-week industrial trip during the first year. For this, they cover half the costs, and students pay the rest.

Campus life: The 'Life at BIMTECH' section on their website has a link that shows different student-run activities you can join. I recommend checking out the 'Student Corner' under 'Life at BIMTECH' for more details. The campus has separate hostels for boys and girls, and there are dress codes to follow. Whether these rules fit your style or not is up to you. But don't worry too much about it, as students from 22 Indian states have been enrolling here for 28 years. Personally, I participated in several extracurricular activities and found the support from the Director and faculty to be quite solid. Many of my friends have great memories from these clubs, which helped them form lasting friendships.

Placements: BIMTECH offers plenty of placement opportunities across diverse industries every year. They also have lateral hiring, meaning students can secure positions above Assistant Manager or Manager after their Management Trainee period. As college representatives, students get to visit companies and interact with recruiters. The faculty provides invaluable support during placement season, helping with CVs, conducting mock interviews, and sharing experiences. They even connect students with alumni to discuss company-specific insights. The relationship between students and professors extends beyond academics and is truly valuable.

For details like placement rates, number of companies, and salary figures, the website and the Corporate Communications and Relations Team are transparent. A good tip is to reach out to BIMTECH alumni in your area, visit the CCR office, and check the alumni list online. This should clear up many questions about the institute's standing.

Mahindra University Hyderabad has its share of issues, especially when it comes to the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) course. One major downside is the high fees, which amount to ?350,000 per year, with no scholarships available. This makes it tough for many students to manage the costs. Additionally, while the teaching is good, the curriculum for the first year is the same for everyone, and it only changes in the second year, which can feel a bit limiting. The internship stipends are also quite low, which might not feel rewarding for the effort we put in.

From my perspective, Bareilly College stands out over KPC Medical College. I’m pursuing a Bachelor of Arts [BA] and I find the faculty to be well-educated and approachable. The fee is quite low, around 2000 per year. The campus life is vibrant, with various extracurricular activities and a good library system. The college also has a good reputation and offers scholarships, which makes it an attractive option for students like me.

As an MBBS student at BJMC, I feel the curriculum is vast but essential for becoming a good doctor. The internal exams and practicals are well-timed, giving us ample time to prepare. The college also encourages extracurricular activities, which makes the campus life enjoyable. The hostel facilities are decent, and the mess offers unlimited food, which is a plus for us busy students. Overall, the environment is supportive and enriching, and I'm glad I chose this college for my medical journey.

I am in the B.Tech Electronics Engineering program at IERT Allahabad. The faculty is generally well-qualified, mostly with M.Tech and Ph.D. degrees. However, the placement scenario is a mixed bag. While some students get placed with companies like TCS and Wipro, the average package is about 4 LPA, and the highest recorded was 24 LPA. The college fees are approximately 58,000 a year, which is reasonable, and many students benefit from scholarships provided by the UP government.
