Can someone give an honest review about MBA from Welingkar, Mumbai, and PUMBA? Keeping in mind that I have a below-average profile until now and had a year drop in my graduation.

Sanjana Shah Posted On : June 24th, 2021
PGDM from Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research (2017)

Having friends in both the institutes, I might be able to help you with the question. Welingkar, Mumbai, and PUMBA are two opposite colleges, and comparing them is the same as comparing the North and South directions.

  • Welingkar has a cut-off of 99 for MMS and in the course of PGDM, the cutoff is above 70 percentile which should be scored in CET.
  • If scored above 70 percentile, a person would be called for GD and PI.
  • On the other hand, PUMBA in CET has a quite good cut-off ranging from about 94-95 percentile.
  • The campus is quite good also as it offers the whole Pune University Campus to sit and have fun in.
  • Along with the cut-off and campus, It's also better in terms of ROI.

What cutoff mark Tamil Nadu board should I get to opt for a BSc in agriculture at TNAU Coimbatore?

MJ
Manisha Jeeva Posted On : October 14th, 2021
B.Sc. from Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India (2019)

Getting a seat in B.Sc. in Agriculture at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) is like getting a medical seat in a top university. This is due to the value and demand for agriculture seats increasing.

Having a few friends studying in TNAU Coimbatore here are a few things they mentioned. 

  • After graduation, students opt for the banking sector or appear for the UPSC exams. 
  • Nearly 25% of students appearing for higher administrative examinations conducted by UPSC like IAS, IPS are from the agriculture stream.
  • In 2020, the cut-off was around 199.5 for the general and MBC categories. 
  • Since the preference for agriculture courses among students is increasing, this year the cut-off mark is expected to go high between 175 to 199 out of 200.
  • The cut-off marks also depend upon communal reservation, ICAR quota, NRI, and industrial quota, in 7 colleges that are directly attached and managed by TNAU.

In addition to these nearly 26 private agriculture colleges are there in Tamil Nadu, affiliated with TNAU, here students can get seats through counseling by TNAU and management quota where cut-off marks will not form a major role.

How is IIIT Hyderabad's MSIT course for a non it student ? What sort of companies recruit from the MSIT course??

AC
Anupama Chauhan Posted On : August 1st, 2023
studied at International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad

IIIT Hyderabad MSIT course is perfect for someone who has a flawed academic profile like a gap year or something. People like these have very limited opportunities so this course might uplift their chances of getting placed decently. However, since you specifically asked, this course is not a good option if you have an IT background. This is because the curriculum is repetitive and covered in a shorter duration. Also, if you are employed, it’s better to invest your efforts in improving your work experience than wasting time on this course.

The placements are decent and in fact, during the first phase, you might get into top IT giants like Amazon, Salesforce, American Express, etc. But if you fail to get placed in these then the only option left is to get into service sector-based companies.

So, this course is best suited for those who are looking for a means to upgrade their academic profile.

How good is IIT Delhi Electrical Engineering (Power and Automation)?

DS
Dipti Sinha Posted On : April 3rd, 2023
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (2022)

IIT Delhi’s Electrical Engineering department has a number of branches like

  • Communication Engineering (Communications Group, Electrical Engineering, IIT Delhi)
  • Control and Automation (Control & Automation)
  • Computer Technology (Computer Technology)
  • Integrated Electronics Circuits (Integrated Electronics and Circuits)
  • Power Electronics, Electrical Machines and Drives (Power Electronics, Electrical Machines, and Drives)
  • Power Systems

This allows Electrical Engineering students to choose from a wide range of topics and they don’t have to restrict their area of interest. However, to provide core electrical engineering education and research opportunities, there is a separate Electrical specialization in Power and Automation.

Owing to the small batch size and top-notch lab facilities, IIT Delhi’s Electrical department is highly coveted and is funded by Industry donations and partnerships. The performance rate of the students of this department has been increasing over the past few years and these students continue to perform well in each batch. 

However, it is important to note that academic rigor is high in this department and requires a high level of commitment. But your efforts don’t go wasted because of the excellent packages offered to the students of this branch.

I have rated the program based on some aspects to give a better idea.

  • Global recognition: Top 0.1%
  • Scholastic Aptitude: Top 0.1%
  • Work Ethics: Top 0.1%
  • Placement assistance: Top 0.1%
  • Program Support: Top notch 
  • Infrastructure: Top notch 
  • Faculty: Top 0.1%
  • Research output: Not among the Top 50 global programs

Do your part of the research and talk to people who have completed this program and then make the final decision.

What is the cost of changing subjects in IGNOU?

MR
Murali Ram Posted On : November 3rd, 2022
Knows about IGNOU

The cost of changing subjects in IGNOU is as follows:

  • Change in Elective/Course is permitted within 30 days from the receipt of the first set of course material on payment of INR 300/- for a 2/4 credit course

  • INR 600/- for a 6/8 credit course for undergraduate courses.

  • For the Master’s Degree Programme, it is INR 500/- for 2/4 credit

  • INR 1000/- for 6/8 credits course

All these payments are to be made by way of a demand draft drawn in favour of IGNOU payable at the place of concerned Regional Centre. All such requests for a change of Elective/ Course should be addressed to the concerned Regional Centre only as per schedule.

However, the first point -Change in Elective/Course is permitted within 30 days from the receipt of the first set of course material on payment of INR 300/- for a 2/4 credit course is subject to doubt. This is because many of my friends have changed their elective courses after two or three months.

What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at NIT Calicut?

SG
Spandita Ghosal Posted On : March 23rd, 2021
Studied Chemical Engineering at National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2019)

Starting a journey doesn’t require any tips as such. You just need to keep your morale high throughout the journey. Also, NIT, Calicut is an amazing place to study in. Yes whatever happens in these four years here, you're going to remember it for your lifetime.

Life at NITC can be segregated into two parts:

  • If you are from Northern India food might be a problem as well as the change of the climate. It will take some time to get used to.
  • If you are from Southern India you are familiar with the culture, climatic condition and food.

Here are some helpful facts for your joining in the first year:

  1. Keep your attendance in account, The faculties at NITC are really very strict and the attendance limit is 80%.
  2. Initially, seniors will be very mischievous and make you do notorious stuff and be harsh on you. But once all these are over they'd be extremely friendly and cooperative.
  3. Look upon your subjects: If you're an average student, keep your eyes out for Basic Electrical Sciences, Engineering Mechanics, and Physics in the first year.
  4. NITC hosts two of the most important fests in South India, Tathva and Ragam. So as a first year, take part in PAD and INFRA works and do your contribution to the college. It is also a great way to make contacts with seniors, which would be useful later.
  5. Balance academics and extracurricular activities: Give proper time for studies so that it will not create an additive burden during the exam time. Never leave your work pending. 
  6. Visit places in and near NITC, Have your share of leisure. Take time out for yourself and to know the place you are going to be in for the major 4 years of your life.

Joining a club at the end of first year is essentialfor every student. It will not only help you to gain a lot of knowledge regarding things but also, develop social skills, and obtain many contacts.

Yes, 1st year will be a bit difficult for all but after 2–3 months you get habitual of everything so don’t worry much it’s a beautiful place to live in.
