What do you have to say to a student who just got into IIM Indore's IPM program?

PS
Prakhar Sahu Posted On : January 2nd, 2023
Management Student at IIM Indore, Mumbai Campus

My friend is a senior at IIM Indore for the same course. As a senior, he has the following pieces of advice and recommendations for his juniors.

  • Spend quality time with your family and friends before joining. Do things you have been willing to do for a long time but couldn't. This is because once you begin your hectic life here, you won't get time for anything else.
  • Refrain from being a part of any clubs and fests in the initial year. Rather focus more on academics.
  • Your peers will be from diverse backgrounds. Some may find it difficult to interact with them. It's okay if you don't befriend them just don't look down on anyone. Everyone here is a genius who has made it into an IIM after many struggles. On the brighter side, peers from all over the country add to the experience and fun.
  • Try to make the most out of the library of the institution. You have a prior subscription included in your fees so you are free to explore the huge variety of books here.
  • Read the IPM Manual given in the orientation thoroughly.
  • Inculcate some extra skills like Excel or typing that might come handy in the future.
  • Don't hesitate from approaching the professors for any kind of doubts. They are very humble and cooperative.
  • Seek help from our seniors as they are more than ready to help in any situation.
  • Last and most important, learn basic E-mail writing etiquette before the actual program begins. This will save you from embarrassing yourself in the future.

All these points will help you avoid some major blunders committed by seniors. But remember everyone makes mistakes in their college life. What matters is how you tackle it and what you learn from it.

Is branch sliding possible in NIT Durgapur?

GJ
Gagan Jain Posted On : September 6th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology Durgapur

Yes, branch sliding is possible at NIT Durgapur. However, you need to follow certain policies to be eligible for sliding into another branch

  • Firstly , you need to maintain your CGPA throughout the first year and have a very high CGPA at the end of the second semester.
  • Secondly, there must be vacant seats in your desired branch.
  • There must be someone with a high CGPA who wants to mutually exchange his/her seat with you.
  • In case of a tie between two students, the winner will be decided based on the JEE Main rank.

In reality, it’s very difficult to find a vacant seat in your desired branch or someone who wants to exchange. So there won’t be more than 3 to 4 students who will be eligible for internal sliding.

Should I leave IIT Roorkee electrical engineering for SCRA?

AG
Ashish Gupta Posted On : April 12th, 2023
Lives in Roorkee, Uttarakhand, India

One of my friends completed his Dual Degree program in CSE from IIT Roorkee last year. she was in a similar dilemma. The SCRA opportunity seemed lucrative to his father and relatives but he was against leaving IIT Roorkee.

He got the results in the first year at IIT Roorkee and she was due to join in the summer vacations. Giving up on the continued pressure, he decided to join SCRA. He couldn’t stay for more than 2 months and eventually resigned.

He shared the various perks he enjoyed as an SCA (Special Class Apprentice) with a high stipend, hostel facilities, and decent food. Additionally, he got a B.E. from BIT Mesra and you are given enough time to prepare for Civil Services. By the end of college, you are appointed as an Assistant Mechanical Engineer, a very coveted job.

Although he enjoyed his life in Jabalpur, his inclination toward programming always reminded him to go back, which eventually he did. So we can say that both opportunities are good except that one needs to identify his area of interest.

Which is best, BITS Pilani for CSE or NIT Trichy for CSE?

VS
Vaani Singh Posted On : March 24th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India

If you are considering higher education, it is important to choose an institution that is best suited to your needs and goals. Among the top choices are the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and private institutions like BITS Pilani. While BITS Pilani is a great private institution, it is important to consider the factors that set NITs apart.

Here are some reasons why you should consider NITs as your first preference:

  • Lower fees: NITs are run by the Government of India, and as a result, their fees are lower compared to private institutions like BITS Pilani. This makes NITs a more affordable option for students who want quality education without incurring a large debt burden.
  • Edge over jobs: If you graduate from a government institution like NIT, you can get a good edge over jobs. NITs are well-respected and have a strong reputation in the industry, which can help you secure a good job after graduation.
  • Clubs and Activities: NITs have various clubs and societies that cater to students' interests and skills. These clubs provide a platform for students to explore their interests and enhance their skills, making them more well-rounded individuals.
  • Innovation: NITs are known for their focus on innovation and research. They provide students with ample opportunities to apply their knowledge and innovative ideas through various projects, internships, and research programs.
  • Institution of National Importance: NITs are institutions of national importance and are recognized as such by the government. This means that they receive significant funding and support, which translates into better infrastructure, facilities, and faculty.

In conclusion, while BITS Pilani is a good private institution, it is important to consider the advantages that NITs offer. With lower fees, a strong reputation, ample opportunities for innovation and research, and a range of clubs and activities, NITs are an excellent choice for students who want to pursue higher education in India.

Is AIIMS Delhi safe for a female MBBS UG student?

KS
Kartikay Sinha Posted On : June 10th, 2023
Studies at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi (2025)

I cannot comment on the safety of the city as a whole but the AIIMS Delhi campus is one of the safest campuses you will find here. The college is safe for both boys and girls and students roam inside or outside the campus the entire day and no problems have been caused.

Here, the female students are given a level of freedom to come and go as their will, and their privacy is maintained.

Located in South Delhi, the campus area is safer than other parts of the city as it’s one of the most sophisticated areas of Delhi. Additionally, famous colleges in close proximity like IIT Delhi, NIFT Delhi, VMMC, and DU colleges maintain the decorum of the area. Even the Indian Parliament and India Gate are located nearby which is one of the safest areas in the whole country.

The students don’t have to travel far as most facilities are available on the campus be it a parlor or anything. Malls, cafés, and clubs can be found in close vicinity of 1–2 km making it safe for the students to go out. 

I think safety should never be a concern for female M.B.B.S. students here and you can rely on the institute's security.

Which one to choose, lower NIT or College of engineering, Pune or DTU ?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : July 5th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

DTU should be your priority. It is one of the oldest Indian Engineering institutions. It has a brand name and a good reputation. It has better placements, campus, college life, location, etc. than COEP. Only NIT Trichy and NIT Warangal are on par with DTU. Mechanical is a renowned branch at DTU. The Mechanical department has many innovations to its credit. For example, the first Biodiesel Lab in India.

I know someone who did his B.Tech Mechanical from COEP. He chose COEP over a top NIT. According to him, it was not a wise decision for his career. Teaching is done mostly in Marathi at COEP. Some of the faculty members are underqualified and not up to the mark. This made him lose interest in learning and resulted in poor personality development.

At NITs, you study with people from across India and this offers exposure to different cultures. The NIT brand also has its added advantages. NITs have a standard grading system known in the industry. When you graduate from COEP and go to, say IIMs, the grading system at COEP causes a lot of hassle. COEP does not offer cross-culture exposure. Though the labs at COEP are big, the equipment is outdated and non-functional. 

A benefit is that COEP is located in Pune which is an automotive hub. Therefore, Mechanical students get to connect with the automotive industry. Pune automotive industry has a large number of COEP alumni. All this allows you to do a lot of live industry projects while on campus.

Overall, choose DTU and if you do not get admission into it, go for lower NITs.
