How can one apply for a dual degree at IIT Kanpur?

VK
Vidhita Kapoor Posted On : April 22nd, 2023
Studied at iit Kanpur

You cannot get admission into the dual degree program during the initial admission period. Rather, after completing the 5th semester, interested students can apply for dual degrees via BTech-MTech and BS-MS. This option is open till the beginning of the 8th semester. Additionally, there is an option of a hybrid dual degree, wherein students can after doing a BTech from a certain department do an MTech from another department.

Eligibility: To be eligible for the dual degree, students should have a minimum CPI of 6.0 at the time of applying.

Suitability: This program is best for those students who have no intention to get employed in the near future and want to focus on research in the field of their choice and then eventually do a master's thesis. 

Credibility: The requirement of high CPI in itself testifies to the fact that only the top rankers of highly motivated students opt for this program. The most academically strong students tend to go for this.

Prospects: 

  • This program isn’t less valuable in any way to the recruiters. The quality of students taking up this program is enough to prove the worth of this program thus attracting the best recruiters. Additionally, with a thesis work up their sleeve, these students get better opportunities in higher education as well.
  • Many students even own a publication which makes it easier for them to get admission to Ph.D. programs at top universities
  • Most of the companies that recruit these students specialize in research work and thus look for research enthusiasts.

All in all, the dual degree program at IIT Kanpur is in no way inferior to other programs and is worthy of excellent placements.

What is your opinion on the IIM Calcutta PGPEX course?

SS
Shreya Sinha Posted On : December 1st, 2022
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Jamshedpur

According to the Financial Times MBA ranking, the one-year PGPEX MBA programme is among the top ones worldwide. This programme is ideal for middle managers with at least 5 years of experience who want to advance their careers as business leaders.

The programme, which has the distinction of being one of the best MBA programmes in the country, not only transforms your worldview but also prepares you to be a responsible leader. This MBA programme is ranked among the top ten in the world for career advancement and one of the best in terms of return on investment.

However, only a small number of candidates are admitted to the class. To be selected, candidates must have a high GMAT, strong academic records, and a successful career history. People in the PGPEX class have worked in various parts of the world and in various domains. It is not surprising if your class project team includes a doctor, an army captain, an entrepreneur, and a bureaucrat. In the classroom, diversity is essential. Prospects for post-program employment are also promising.

Saurabh Gupta Posted On : January 25th, 2023
IIM SBP PGP'23 || CAT '22- 97.26%ile || CAT '21- 98.29%ile

The table below will help you get a generalized picture of the IMT Ghaziabad placement 

Particulars

Average CTC

INR 15.28 LPA

Top Recruiters 

Morgan Stanley, BCG, Accenture Consulting, Goldman Sachs, Google, Infosys Consulting, Emami International, TATA Consumer Product

Top Recruiters sectors

IT/ITES

Coming to the second part of your question, a package of 15 LPA and above is certain for those who have scored the highest percentile only. It’s not possible for B Schools to offer package roles to the entire batch to maintain a high average figure. So before joining a college for MBA you should analyze whether the package you will get will compensate for the hefty fees you pay.

Which is best? MISB Bocconi, SOIL India, Woxsen or Great Lakes chennai?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : July 11th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

The best college depends on an individual's preferences and their future prospects. My friend is an alumnus of MISB Bocconi and was all praise of the institute's holistic approach. Listing a few perks he told me about the semester spent in Italy that gave him exposure at another level. The institute has a diverse faculty pool with professors from every corner of the world and top B Schools like IIMs. The student crowd is also heterogeneous and enhances the learning experience. All this helps you determine your inclinations and passions. 

I am not saying MISB is better than the other mentioned institutes. All I am saying is that every college caters to different kinds of students and you should look for the one that caters to your needs its better to talk to the current batch as well as the alumni to get a better understanding and then make an informed decision.

Which is better, to join TCS or to continue with GATE preparation?

VS
Vivek Sinha Posted On : August 9th, 2022
M.Tech in Computer Science Engineering & Data Science, International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore (IIITB)

Join TCS and prepare for GATE simultaneously. During the training session for three months, you will get ample time to prepare for GATE after office hours. If you manage your time efficiently, it’s not difficult to squeeze a few hours for studying, after office hours, even after the training period. Many TCS associates prepare for competitive examinations like GATE, CAT, and IAS examinations. With the right time-management strategy, it’s possible to do both.

Which is better SRCC or Hansraj College?

SS
Shivam Sharma Posted On : October 1st, 2021
BA in economics from Ramjas,Delhi University

SRCC is definitely better than Hansraj College. I say this based on the reviews I got from my friends from both institutes. 

  • SRCC is India's best commerce college.
  • It has an exceptional teaching faculty. SRCC faculties are authors cum professors. Most of the books that you will refer to study are written by SRCC professors. 
  • It also ranks first in undergraduate placements. In the 2020 placement drive, the highest CTC offered was 31 LPA and the average CTC offered was 8 LPA. Some of the major recruiters at the institute are BCG, Deloitte, Wipro, Google, etc. 
  • Because SRCC is located in the north campus, the campus life and atmosphere are among the greatest that a student may find in India.
  • Crossroads, the SRCC cultural festival, is the most well-known DU event.

It's a great college. Given the choice between SRCC and Hansraj, you should go for the former.

How is life at NIT Trichy for a girl?

DS
Devi Sen Posted On : September 8th, 2021
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India (2019)

The dress code for NIT Trichy has been removed for girls. The curfew timings of the hostel are more strict for girls than they are for boys.

The amount of freedom that any girl at NIT Trichy gets is very relative. For example, NIT Trichy is way more liberal with girls, when it is compared to VIT where a girl is not even allowed to shake hands with a boy or walk anywhere near to him. But on the other hand, if you compare it with BITS Pilani, then you might think that NIT Trichy is strict for girls. But when it comes to academics, clubs, cultural and technical festivals, there are no restrictions at all.
