K
Kanishk Posted On : May 14th, 2024
BE Mechanical Engineering, BITS Pilani (2022 Batch)

As a recent mechanical pass out from BITS Pilani, I can assure you that BITS Pilani will be a better choice for mechanical engineering. Being a reputed college, it has strong industry connections and students are placed in top firms like TATA, ISRO, Mercedes, Honda and more for internship and research opportunities. 

BITS Pilani also holds a high standard in various brands with a strong alumni network across the world. It also has better infrastructure than MNNIT Allahabad, flexibility and more. The start-up aid is one of the best in the country.

Placement opportunities at BITS Pilani are also better with students grabbing packages up to INR 60.75 LPA. The top recruiters include Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Cisco and more.

Why does AIIMS Delhi send students to John Hopkins?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : June 8th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Most students try to get a clinical rotation in the USA. This helps them develop contacts and references required for USMLE. John Hopkins is a very expensive university and not everyone can afford education there. Many rich students faced issues getting into a residency program. 

2 things determine your chances of getting a residency spot at John Hopkins

  • Excellent USMLE scores to be eligible for the interview 
  • The quality of your presentation showcasing your intellectual ability, 
  • Your knowledge in the field you are willing to do a residency
  • Your English verbal skills 

Having a good local personal reference is cherry on the top. Most of my acquaintances managed to get into residency without any rotation by just clearing the exam on the first attempt.

Studied Mechanical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (2020)
There were several instances of ragging inside the campus of IIT Madras. Strict actions have been taken by the management, keeping a Supreme Court order into account.
The points below give a brief overview of a notice published by the Dean of IIT Madras regarding ragging and student abuse.
  • IIT Madras follows the Supreme Court’s order about ragging seriously. It has set up an anti-ragging squad. If anybody is caught in some activity related to the same, he/she will be straightaway expelled from the institute.
  • The fact about ragging was intense in the past at IIT Madras, which led the management to take decisions very seriously. It is clearly stated that students can’t take it lightly.
  • Even introductions and interactive sessions that may be forcefully held with juniors are against the norms, and so should be avoided.
  • According to the Supreme Court’s order, the institute has every right to expel any student who is caught in ragging-related activity. The convict may even have to spend time behind the bars, with an endorsement mentioned in the TC that he/shehas been expelled due to such activities in the institute.
Therefore, there are several efforts taken by the institute to prevent ragging and related activities inside the campus of IIT Madras, which was earlier quite a menace for many freshers.

Why is there an NRI quota in BIT Mesra?

MB
Moinak Biswas Posted On : August 17th, 2023
BIT Mesra

The most important point to note is that NRI admissions at BIT Mesra are not done under the DASA scheme. As to why there is an NRI quota at BIT Mesra, many NRIs prefer to follow the Indian curriculum for their children’s schooling. As a result, these children sometimes choose to continue with their higher studies in an Indian college/ university. Thus, many institutions reserve a certain number of seats for NRIs. 

Getting NRI students to study in India is a way of improving the economic state of the country as NRI students pay a lot higher fees for the same degree. It is a win-win situation for both because the cost of higher studies is way more in other countries as compared to India. Also, getting NRI students to study in Indian universities improves the chances of them working in India and contributing to the growth of the nation.

This is the reason why there is an NRI quota in BIT Mesra and many other colleges/universities in India.
