As a B.Tech ECE student at NIT Warangal, here is my review of this department-
One positive aspect that I can tell you about the ECE department is that some ECE professors are helpful and supportive. However, some fall under the above category.
Thus, I would say that the NIT Warangal ECE department gets quite overwhelming at times. But this is a subjective opinion and you should also talk to a few other students from this branch.
Yes, most IIMs have a minimum CAT cutoff around 90 percentile so you can expect a call from IIMs if you touch the 90 percentile mark. The institute-wise overall CAT cutoff is as follows
|
IIMs |

|
IIM Ahmedabad |
80 |
|
IIM Bangalore |
90.6 |
|
IIM Calcutta |

IIM Lucknow |

IIM Indore |

IIM Kozhikode |

The new IIMs usually have their cut-off requirement at 85 with IIM Shillong having a cut-off of 70 in CAT. However, it’s the sectional cutoff that is more important. One needs to fulfill the minimum cut-off requirement for each section, which varies from IIM to IIM. The lowest sectional cutoff is that if IIM Ahmedabad one can get a call with just 70 percentile.
The actual CAT cut-off is higher than that released by institutes before shortlisting for the further process of the institutes. For most of the IIMs, this cutoff falls in the range of 96 to 100 percentile while the released cutoff is just in the range of 80 to 90 percentile.
The course Operations Research offered at IIT Bombay is an integrated Ph.D. course.
Duration: The course duration is 6 years, while the minimum is 5 years. It depends on how much time you take to complete your PhD. You can even extend it more than 6 years but won’t be receiving any stipend for the same. Another option is to opt out of an MSc degree after 3 years.
Compensation: Students are paid around INR 6000/- month for 2 years and then INR 25000 from third year.
Department: This course is offered by the IEOR( Industrial Engineering and Operations Research) department of IIT Bombay which is considered the best in India.
Courses: The courses offered are Industrial Engineering related and some pure operations research related. There are a large number of project courses since this is a research-oriented course. After successfully completing the first 3 years you get admission to a Ph.D. program provided that you qualify certain prerequisites.
Purpose of the course: The course targets students who are interested in research and stimulate them to pursue a career in Operations Research. Some students, however, instead sit for placements after the third year with an MSc degree and don’t go for Ph.D.
Placements: There is no use to mention placement as most of the small batch size opts out of placements to pursue PhD.
Suitability: The course is most suitable for those who are sure of kick-starting a career in research. You get to work on various projects under the guidance of great professors.
Selecting the best PhD advisor is very necessary to ensure a good career. The same professor then gives you a PhD in very less duration or even drags the time unnecessarily. The best part is that you don't need to clear any PhD entrance like UGC CSIR and can easily get a PhD admit with few formalities and end up with a doctorate degree in less than 6 years.
The table below presents the minimum performance required for candidates to be considered for the PI & WAT selection process at IIM Raipur. However, it is important to note that meeting the cut-off percentile in CAT is a necessary but not sufficient condition for being shortlisted.
It should also be noted that the actual cut-off percentiles for the 2023-25 batch at IIM Raipur may be higher. The number of candidates to be called for the PI & WAT for each category will be determined by the institute, and as a result, the cut-off percentiles may also fluctuate.
| Category | IIM Raipur cut off for Section-1 VARC | IIM Raipur cut off for Section-2 DILR | IIM Raipur cut off for Section-3 Quant | IIM Raipur cut-off - Overall CAT 2022 Percentile |
| General | 70 | 70 | 70 | 92 |
| EWS | 40 | 40 | 40 | 70 |
| NC-OBC | 45 | 45 | 45 | 74 |
| SC | 35 | 35 | 35 | 54 |
| ST | 25 | 25 | 32.5 | 40 |
| DAP | 25 | 25 | 32.5 | 40 |
The table above presents the minimum percentile required for candidates to be considered for the selection process at IIM Raipur. However, it is important to note that in addition to the CAT score, other factors such as academic performance in 10th, and 12th and graduation, diversity, work experience, and achievements are also taken into consideration when determining final selection.
It is important to aim for a higher percentile than the minimum stated above, as scoring 90 percentile (in the general category) may not guarantee selection, depending on the candidate's profile. The selection process at IIM Raipur is a multi-faceted and holistic one, taking into account not only the CAT score but also the performance in WAT-PI, academic percentages, diversity, work experience, and achievements to determine the final selection.
Industrial quota or consortium quota as it is generally called is a medium through which a student can be admitted to any of the UG courses of the university.
Anyone who has an industry can apply through this quota which is its main qualification. The process is as follows:
The university reviews all the applications submitted.
It then visits the industry and makes a report on the background of the company.
Based on the report the applied candidate is given a seat in the university.
Most importantly an MOU is signed between the university and the industry.
The main thing to consider is that the company should be related to the course the candidate is willing to pursue.
My brother has spent quite a few days in NIT Patna and shared a few cons of the institute
However, these small flaws of the institute don’t affect the academics very much and can be easily overlooked. The friendly seniors and cooperative faculty make your life here smooth and fun.
MDU Rohtak is an excellent state university in Rohtak, Haryana, India. It is recognized as an ‘A’ grade university by NAAC.
The infrastructure of this institute is considered as one of the best in India. The library is enormous with new and updated books and 24x7 reading facilities. The faculty is decent but has the scope of improving.
If you are considering which IIT to attend, you might want to know why people choose IIT Bombay over IIT Madras. While my reasons may not be the same as everyone's, here are some common ones:
IIT Bombay has top-notch facilities including Air Conditioned classrooms decked with necessary amenities.
There is a classroom in the Lecture Hall Complex that is huge enough to accommodate 300 students. The complex has 3 such classrooms and 4 others that have a capacity of 200. In addition to this, there are tutorial rooms that can accommodate 40 students. All these rooms are air-conditioned.
The lecture halls of freshers are also huge since the number of students is more than usual. These rooms also have a centralized AC system.
However, right after the first year, students are divided into various departments and the total strength decreases. The lectures are then held above complexes or the department building.
Leaving some, most classrooms at IIT Bombay have ACs.
This is a frequently asked question among students navigating higher education decisions.
