Are all the NLUs (National Law Universities) in India good? Or is it only the top tier NLUs (Banglore, Nalsar, Kolkata, Jodhpur) worth considering?
The tier-1 colleges are the best among the existing NLUs that include NLSIU Bangalore, NALSAR Hyderabad, and WBNUJS Kolkata. These colleges provide the best placement offers and internships. These colleges have expert faculty that can enhance your skills in the related fields along with the exposure of moot courts with universities like Harvard University, Yale University, and many others.
Now apart from tier-1 colleges, NLIU Bhopal, NLU Jodhpur, GNLU Gujarat are also good in terms of faculty, internships, and placement opportunities. NLU Delhi is a reputed college and has a locational advantage.
Among the new NLUs, NLU Mumbai is quite promising and maintains a consistently good record.
But other than the above-mentioned colleges, other NLUs are not that good and you will not have the exposure and internship opportunities.
I am planning to enroll in a BA English course in IGNOU. What is the procedure of the whole course and important things that I should follow?
Opt for this course only if you are into novels and literature. Otherwise, it will be a monotonous ride. If you are planning to pursue BA English at IGNOU, you can conveniently work full time alongside. Instead of attending full-time classes, just sitting for a few will do it. Get your study material and go through it regularly. Don’t forget to apply for term-end exams. Exam applications come around March for the July exams.
You must also submit your assignment at the study centre before the last date. The questions for the assignment can be found on the IGNOU website as well as the study centre.
Before the 2nd and 3rd years consult your study centre and choose your desired course and register for it. Lastly, keep in constant touch with your study centre for regular updates.
Which gives better placement in cse, LPU or KIIT?
Both KIIT and LPU are considered as top private universities for engineering. But I can only speak in favour of LPU as I have done my education at LPU.
I interacted with my friends at LPU who have done their BTech CSE. More than 500+ recruiters visit the campus for placements every year. BTech CSE placements at LPU recorded INR 42 lakhs as the highest salary package. Additionally, LPU had 110+ recruiters from top colleges like IITs, IIMs, and NITs. The highest monthly stipend for any kind of internship at LPU is around 80k.
Tanya Arora, a final year BTech CSE student secured INR 42 lakh job offer from Microsoft. Amazon also offered INR 28 lakhs package. Utkarsh secured a position at Google HQ in Silicon Valley with a package of INR 1 crore.
This I hope proves my point that LPU is better for CSE than KIIT.
How is the 8.0 CGPA at IIT Delhi?
At IIT Delhi, a 7 CGPA is considered average so definitely 8 CGPA will be considered above average. The value of CGPAs at IIT Delhi is as follows
- 7.0: AVG
- 8.0: ABOVE AVG
- 9.0: VERY GOOD
- 9.5+: EXCELLENT
Key highlight pertaining to CGPA
- The usual cutoff set by companies that visit the campus for placements is 8.5. Very few companies have a cutoff of 8 or 9 so to stay on the safer side, 8.5 is an ideal CGPA.
- No matter how lucrative your CGPA may seem if you don’t fill the certain criteria, it will be very difficult to get placed
- Forex is a rare example that requires an 8 CGPA
- For those opting for branch change, need to maintain 8+ CGPA
- To hold a Position of Responsibility the minimum CGPA required is 7 CGPA.
I would like to comment that an 8 CGPA is quite decent and will open opportunities to a certain extent but to ensure maximum opportunities, an 8.5+ CGPA is recommended.
How do I score more than a 9 CGPA in Thapar University?
One of my friends was able to secure a 9 CGPA at Thapar University. He claimed that no extra hard work was required and all he had to do was determine the right strategy. Firstly he divided the semester into two parts. The major and minor courses. Assuming that the semester had 6 courses in all,
- Major courses: 3 courses- 1 lab+3 lectures 1 tutorial per week.
- Minor courses 3 courses: 3 lectures and one tutorial
For Midsemetser, he attended 90-95 percent classes, 100% labs, and maximum tutorials. Once the result has been declared he chose an easy and a difficult course depending on the results. Then for the End Semesters, he worked in other subjects diligently. His goal was to score 2 A' in Course Major and 2 A's in Course Minors and Bs in the rest of the courses.
He repeated the same strategy and was able to score a 9 CGPA!
How do I get admission in MSU Baroda for MBA?
For getting admission into the MBA program at MSU Baroda, you will need to take CMAT. If you get a decent rank, you can apply for the program through the ACPC website.

Do VMMC MBBS students have secured seats for PG in VMMC?
No, VMMC MBBS students do not have secured seats for PG in VMMC. Here is how the internal quota of the university works
Once the students complete their UG course from their college, they're eligible for the internal quota of PG seats of their University and not the specific college. This means that the internal quota is for the university and not the college. In your case, the internal PG quota belongs to IPU and not VMMC. So, Students of all the colleges under IPU are eligible for IPU PG seats.
Earlier there was only VMMC (UG) under it, Mao PG seats were easily available in VMMC and RML, so the seats were kind of secured. But with more and more colleges under IPU, the PG quota of IPU too has lost much of its value.
So, the VMMC MBBS students don't have secured PG seats.
Why would someone choose Shiv Nadar University over IIT Kanpur?
Despite being IIT Kanpur, a whole brand, many prefer SNU over it. There are multiple reasons why people would choose a private institute over a government-funded institute.
- SNU is a multidisciplinary research-oriented university. Being fully interdisciplinary, it allows students of every branch to choose from a wide range of minor electives covering fields ranging from Physics, Maths, Economics, Dance, and Data Analytics to History, Sociology, Communications, Management, and many others. So you are able to pursue more than one field at once irrespective of the branch you belong to.
- SNU has a research-centric approach and even UGC has verified this. It has managed to give a high research output across various fields worth over Rs. 30 Crore.
- SNU is well known for its top-notch Infrastructure and amenities including hostel and mess facilities that are better than IIT Kanpur.
Being a new university, SNU cannot be found in the recent rankings but it soon will surpass other institutes.
How good is placement at Sathyabama University?
Mainly IT companies visit the Sathyabama University campus for recruitments. On the other hand, very few core companies visit the campus for branches like Mechanical, Civil, Aero, Auto and Pro. Even the ones that do visit, mostly end up not recruiting any students.
The CS and IT department receives top companies like Oracle and HP. But the eligibility criteria of such companies is very high. Mass recruiters like Cognizant, Infosys and Wipro also visit the campus, and are quite easy to crack. Unfortunately, the university does not see any dream companies or high paying companies during placements.
This is the entire placement scenario at Sathyabama University.
Which is better, the Xavier School of Management (XLRI), or the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIMC)?
For HR career aspirants, XLRI is unquestionably the best in Asia; for non-HR candidates, IIMC is by far the better option.
The Benefits of IIMC Over XLRI:
-
In comparison to XL, the IIM tag is more well-known outside of India.
-
A larger batch means a greater number of successful alumni worldwide.
-
It increases the number of marquee recruiters in finance, consulting, marketing, systems, and operations. The alum network is extremely strong in finance and consulting, including leading HR consulting firms.
-
After living in Jamshedpur for two years, one can appreciate it even more because it is located in one of the metros.
-
XLRI loses companies despite being a good BSchool because many marquee recruiters do not want to visit Jamshedpur, which is not well-connected.
-
In comparison to some B-schools, XLRI has a lower percentage of IIT/BITS students in its batch.
The Benefits of XLRI Over IIMC
-
A smaller batch size promotes better bonding among batchmates.
-
Gender diversity is astounding.
-
Because the majority of HR heads in respected companies attended XLRI, their placement can reach almost any company.
-
Because of the small batch size, even the worst performers (purely from a placement standpoint, not academically) get decent jobs, which is not possible at any of the top IIMs with larger batch sizes.
-
One of the world's largest private equity funds recruits one summer intern exclusively from XLRI every year in India, which could be a very important criterion if one has that kind of profile.
IIM Calcutta and XLRI share more cultural similarities than IIM C and IIM A or B.
