SB
Santanu Banerjee Posted On : March 29th, 2023
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (2019)

The branch change rules at IIT Madras allow students to switch to a different branch of study after completing their first year of undergraduate studies. Here are some important points to note about the branch change rules:

  • The branch change process at IIT Madras is highly competitive and subject to the availability of seats in the desired branch. The number of seats available for branch change is limited, and the selection is based on academic performance and other criteria set by the institute.
  • Students who wish to apply for branch change must meet the eligibility criteria set by the institute, which includes minimum academic performance standards and other requirements.
  • The branch change application process typically takes place in the second semester of the first year, and students are required to fill out an application form and submit it to the institute's academic section.
  • The institute may conduct tests, interviews, or other selection procedures to assess the student's suitability for the desired branch.
  • Once a student is selected for branch change, they must complete the required coursework and other requirements of the new branch to earn their degree.
  • It's important to note that not all branches are open for branch change, and some branches may have additional eligibility criteria or restrictions on branch change.

In summary, the branch change rules at IIT Madras allow students to switch to a different branch after their first year, subject to the availability of seats and meeting the institute's eligibility criteria. The selection process is highly competitive, and students must complete the requirements of the new branch to earn their degree.

A
Aniket Posted On : July 12th, 2024
Btech student at IIT Bombay

How can I get an internship in IIIT Hyderabad?

AJ
Adinath Jain Posted On : August 2nd, 2023
Studied at IIIT Hyderabad

In order to get an internship in IIIT Hyderabad, contact the concerned professor through an email. Attach your CV in the mail. Make sure to keep your mail to the point. Refrain from sending the same general email to all the professors in the department. Your email should reflect that you know about your area of interest and how it will match with the interest of the concerned professor.

The IIIT Hyderabad professors get a large number of internship applications. Therefore, they may not mail you back incase of a rejection. If you get selected, well and good. If you receive no reply, simply move on, don’t keep waiting endlessly. The end of third year is the ideal time for internships.

If you live near Hyderabad, drop by at the annual R&D showcase to understand what all is going on. You can have discussions with the research students on topics that you find interesting. If convinced, you can try and meet the faculty as well.

Thus, you can get an internship in IIIT Hyderabad by following the steps mentioned in this answer.

What is your opinion about the new M.Tech A.I. course offered by IISc Bangalore?

DS
Deeraj Shah Posted On : July 18th, 2023
M.Tech from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (2020)

Anyone who claims that AI is still a developing field and hasn’t made its mark yet hasn’t looked up the AI and Machine Learning courses offered by top foreign universities. These courses are well in demand and offer extensive knowledge in the field of AI. 

As for the IISc Bangalore AI MTech program, although it's a new program, it’s fast gaining popularity and is becoming one of the most coveted courses offered by IISc Bangalore. It has a huge number of hardcore, softcore, and elective courses in related areas. There are both theoretical as well as practical hands-on courses.

I believe, in this AI-oriented era, the future will witness a huge change in this field and the course will become a huge success.

What are the pros and cons of doing an MBA from FMS Delhi University?

S
Sagardeep Posted On : January 10th, 2023
Studied at Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi

There's no point in going over the usual benefits like placements, good professors, university infrastructure and fees, and so on. However, it is critical to consider some genuine and neutral arguments in favor of IIMs (at least in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta).

  • When making decisions, many B-school aspirants mention ROI. The wealth maximization theory provides the NPV method, which is superior to the rate of return theory. Your future cash flows are indeed influenced by your B-school, and the difference is usually large enough to outweigh the outflow in year zero.
  • An important question to ask yourself is, "Are you doing an MBA to save money or to add value?" If the latter is your answer, you should be prepared to pay a reasonable price for it.
  • There's a reason people like the IIM label. It still carries some clout in the market. In terms of B-school brand value, an IIM has a faster growth rate. As a result, there is a chance that FMS will lose to IIM IKS in the next 10-15 years.
  • Having a subsidized university education comes with its own set of costs. Placements are completely student-led. There is no credit system, which makes student exchange difficult. For FMS, the semester system is the norm, which has its own drawbacks.

How do I get transcripts from Lucknow university, Lucknow?

AC
Ashwin Chaturvedi Posted On : October 6th, 2021
Studied Master of Commerce at University of Lucknow (2012)

One of my friends got his transcript in February 2019. According to him, the process of getting a transcript is very easy.

Let me explain how you could get one: 

  • You need to pay Rs 2000, per candidate no matter how many courses you have done. 
  • And if you need more than one copy of the transcript then you have to pay extra Rs 1000 for each copy.
  • Take the transcript fees payment receipt, all copies of mark sheets and write an application requesting for the transcript, attach all these and submit them at the registrar office.
  • After 1 week or 2, you can visit the examination building and collect your transcript.

I am not aware if there is any process to collect the transcript without visiting the university, but they allow someone else to submit the application and take the transcript.

The process is changed now and it can be done online. You have to pay the fees at the homepage of the university. You can also request it from the EASE portal, the website has many bugs which may be problematic.

Which one is better, IIT Ropar or Thapar University?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 27th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

It’s beyond my understanding why you would consider joining Thapar University when you have such a good option of IIT Ropar to choose from. I can say with certainty that IIT Ropar is a much better choice than Thapar University. IIT Ropar is considered among the top 3 IITs among the ones that are newly established,

  • IIT Ropar has a high cutoff and accepts only the top JEE rankers so the quality of the crowd is not compensated. Thapar does not attract a very good crowd and has many average students as well thus bringing down the quality of the institute.
  • Addressing the elephant in the room, even the placement scenario at IIT Ropar is better than Thapar University. Thapar University's average package 2022 stood at INR 10.97 LPA while IIT Ropar's average package 2022 stood at INR 28.54 LPA.
  • IIT  Ropar is well-known for its cutting-edge research and has a top-notch research facility. It also has many  MoUs and ties with foreign universities and organizations. 
  • The exposure offered here is great and every year many students go for internships, jobs, and studies in foreign universities.
  • The faculty pool comprises highly experienced professors that are Ph.D. holders from top overseas universities.

Overall, IIT Ropar is definitely better than Thapar University and you shouldn’t have any second thoughts.
