Is there anybody who got into IIM Lucknow after a bad interview experience?
My sister had a fairly poor interview experience and yet managed to get into IIM Lucknow. She was asked about the current issue of the world to which she mentioned the Syrian wars. He contradicted her saying it wasn’t a burning issue as it had been happening for more than 2 years. Flustered, she mentioned the US on the government's side. Further, the interviewer inquired her about her own opinion regarding the civil war. She confidently said that she couldn’t support any side due to the extremist quality of either of them. But the interviewer wasn’t satisfied and urged her to take a side and give a rather clear answer.
The discussion continued for a few minutes after which he asked her about the Kashmir issue.
After many diplomatic talks, he finally asked about her current role in the company and asked if she had any experience in E and P.
The interview was rather prolonged with a lot of contradictions and awkward situations. The interviewer kept cutting her off in the middle of answers. Toward the end, she was asked to solve a statistics problem which she managed to solve in 5 seconds. She was then asked to leave. She had little or no hopes of getting a call but as luck would have it she managed to get into IIM Lucknow.
How should I tackle Anna university exams?
Some simple tips that will help you ace Anna University exams are:
-
Most subjects require you to write the crust or key points only. Teachers don't prefer lengthy answers unless it is for theoretical papers like Environmental Engineering.
-
Unfortunately at Anna University presentation matters more than what you have written. So make sure you use different color inks and make your answer sheet look presentable.
-
Use a different color pen usually black for key points of sub-headings.
-
Supporting your theoretical answers with a well-labeled diagram will surely get you extra points.
-
For the numerical part, pay special attention to measurements and units as they check this part with extra caution.
-
Write your answers in neat handwriting as the examiners don't want to spend more than 3-4 minutes per paper checking.
-
Lastly if you want to increase your chances of clearing the paper, fill out the entire booklet.
All these tips combined with your own efforts will bear you good results.

Are the students ragged in AIIMS Raipur?
No, it is a very big misconception that students at AIIMS Raipur are ragged. One of my friends studied there and he never faced any sort of disrespectful behaviour or acts.

- This helps you make great connections.
- They also guide you during exam preparations and for internships.
- Keep in mind that never show arrogance, always behave politely towards them, because even if you are a junior, bad behavior will not be tolerated by the institution's rules and regulations.
- You should be familiar with the Director, Dean, HODs of your departments, etc.
Therefore, AIIMS Raipur is totally ragging free. They have strict laws that will be implemented if found guilty of ragging.

How is BVP Pune for engineering for CS?
As far as computer science is concerned, everyone is very well aware that it is quite a well-reputed branch in engineering. Coincidentally, it is also one of the best branches at Bhartiya Vidyapeeth. Additionally, the fact that it is located in Pune and its role in the IT industry could also play an advantage to you.
However, when it comes to faculty, it is not that great. The teachers are known to be quite uncooperative and a few of them probably don’t have much idea about programming. You will also be disappointed by their teaching.
The course curriculum is definitely updated regularly but you will have to study on your own. There are a lot of advanced topics included in your course which will eventually help you in your placements.

If you are a boy, hostel facilities will only be available for a year for you. For girls, these are available throughout the course. The mess is okay enough with the Wi-Fi facility in the hostel. They also provide you with any medical aid you may need. Libraries are also open up till midnight if you wish to study late.
The college is old and reputed but you will definitely have to take some risks if you wish to attend CS at Bhartiya Vidyapeeth.

BIT Mesra CS or RVCE CS?
My sister is in her 3rd year of engineering at CSE RVCE. Earlier, she was going for BIT Mesra considering its better ranking and reputation over RVCE. But a friend asked her to reconsider her decision because
- RVCE CS placements are much better and with enough coding skills and a good CGPA, you can easily secure a 20+ LPA package.
- Bangalore as a city offers a plethora of opportunities and options, especially the young enthusiasts.
- The institute has an active start-up culture and many students become entrepreneurs after a few years m.
- The BIT tag is slowly losing its credibility and worth as the quality of education is deteriorating day by day
- Bangalore's location offers more learning opportunities than Ranchi
- The crowd here is very diverse so you get to experience a diverse culture and a new way of living that helps in personality grooming.
- RVCE has a management quota too so you will be surrounded by both talented as well as average students.
Overall, I feel RVCE will offer better opportunities because of its excellent location in contrast to Ranchi.
