Should I drop if I am getting a low branch in IIT Roorkee?
No, taking a drop just because you belong to a less preferred branch is highly illogical because the branch rarely matters. In fact, what you learn inside the classroom is hardly applicable when you actually work in the industry.
Instead, you can inculcate new skills to broaden your job prospects. Explore diverse fields like Data Science, machine learning, IoT, Blockchain technology, web development, android development, and many more. Learn one of these and hone these to your advantage in the future.
A huge platform called MOOC is meant for students who want to pursue additional courses to appear better in interviews or target other fields than their core branches. Invest your time and efforts in these fields and you will find ways to success you never knew existed.
So we can safely conclude that it’s your own passion that is the driving factor and not the choice of your branch. After all, the CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai was a metallurgy and material science student at IIT KGP!

Scoring a CGPA of 9+ at NIT Silchar is challenging but not impossible. With the right mindset and strategy, one can easily attain this score. However, the study strategy varies from person to person to person. Here is what my brother at NIT Silchar followed that helped him score a CGPA of 9+
- Attend classes regularly : Oke can never underestimate the knowledge you gain during classroom sessions because when you revise the same afterward it engraves better. So try to attend classes for the important subjects.

For most subjects, going through class notes is more than enough to score decently. grades. However, you are aiming for a 9+ so you need to refer to other sources too. Make digital notes from the PPTs and PDFs.

Is joining mechanical engineering in IIT BHU or CSE in NIT Surathkal or CSE in DTU better?
Following the sheep mentality, many claim that it’s the branch that shapes your career and not your institute. Well, don’t let such people mislead you into believing your career is all set if you take CSE irrespective of the institute you belong to.
CSE branch is a major crowd-puller but trust me any branch taken up at IITs is better than other technical institutes. The branch is temporary but the tag you will be getting is permanent and will stay with you forever. Moreover, as for the placement opportunities that are better for CS, you can always opt for noncore placements and acquire coding skills.
The campus life and exposure provided by IITs is like no other so if you choose a technical institute other than IIT, you will be missing out on a good college life. Also, the culture of most IITs is driven towards coding so many IIT companies offer placements to students other than the CS branch based on your skills.
Here is a comparative analysis of the placement scenario of these institutes

Is NSIT good for a BBA?
Here are a few pros and cons of a BBA from NSUT Delhi-
PROS
- Brand: NSUT Delhi is a brand in itself and has a good reputation in the entire country. Many companies visit for recruitment, so you need not worry about that front.
- Location: NSUT Delhi is located in Dwarka, the heart of Delhi. You will get good connectivity from the campus. Shops and malls can also be accessed easily.
- Students: The selection process is rigid so the crowd consists of hardworking, bright, and innovative students.
CONS
- Hostel- The college has only half the seats in its hostels as compared to the total students studying in it. Therefore, getting a seat can be quite difficult.
- Animals- This may shock you but because of its forest area, NSUT Delhi is home to some strange animal species including snakes, monitor lizards, etc.
- Stream- NSUT Delhi is mainly known for its Engineering, and not its management courses. Also, you won’t have very good interactions with the Engineers and there might be some friction.
- Uncertainty - BBA is a new course at NSIT Delhi. Therefore, you will find difficulty in gathering placement records and study material. Also, the environment might not really suit you.
- Strictness- Study and attendance criteria are strict at NSUT Delhi. You might feel overwhelmed at times.
I would say NSUT Delhi is a good choice for a BBA but if you get any DU college, go for it.

Has anyone with less than 40 percentile in CAT got into MICA Ahmedabad?
Yes, anyone with less than 40 percentile in CAT has gotten into MICA Ahmedabad. Being a 2015 batch pass-out and back then, MICA accepted a CAT score of 40% and there were certain people in the batch that had a CAT score of a simple 50 percentile.
But things changed post-2015 as MICA arranged for a separate exam of its own - CAT/XAT/GMAT instead of cut-offs from CAT scores. A good weightage is for MICAT exclusively. Also, back then around 2015, people had gotten into MICA because of their CAT score which was >30 percentile as well. So, you do not have to worry too much.
Focusing on MICAT is a better option. A good or even a bad CAT score in today's time does not really matter. MICAT has two sections to it and make sure you especially excel in their Psychometric test. Having said that, do some introspection and if you happen to realise that there is some kind of potential in you and you are ready to stay persistent in your endeavours to reach MICA. And once you're at it, make sure you do great at MICAT and face GE/PI as well.

What are the college timings like at NLSIU and NALSAR? Can you keep your regular job while studying here - at least for the first 2 years?
The subjects offered at both institutes are full-time courses. NALSAR and NLSIU are both premier educational institutes of the country that offer professional law degrees.
The courses offered by these institutes start after class 12 for several LLB courses, thus it leads to absolutely no question about you having time to pursue a job. The reason is that it is impossible to pursue a job while pursuing a course as vivid as the one mentioned above. The degree you will acquire is not a part-time degree that is easily feasible at several second-tier universities.
The classes usually extend from 9 A.M. to about 12.30 P.M., while the afternoon classes commonly stretch from 2 P.M. to 4 P.M.
However, in case you are pursuing a distance learning program, which does not include L.L.B, then you can undeniably continue your job.
