What was ragging like at BITS Pilani when you joined the college for a bachelor's?
Although this perception exists among many students, this is not true. Also, at BITS everyone has to sign and submit an affidavit as per the UGC guidelines that he/she won't get involved in such activities. However, the best real-life experience can be described by someone who has studied there.
My cousin who is currently doing his Ph.D. from BITS is about to complete his 7 years on the campus, and here are his experiences regarding ragging.
- Seniors interact with their juniors in a very healthy manner.
- You will be having both formal and informal interactions with seniors. They introduce you to the BITS culture and you can ask any type of question without any hesitation.
- As you will be joining various clubs from the first semester onwards, you have to adjust to new people and maintain interaction.
- Although some seniors might ask you to introduce yourself with every sentence ending with Sir or Madam or sing a song, it doesn’t get to the extent of “ragging”. Rather, it paves a way for friendly interaction for the next 4-5 years of journey at BITS.
Overall, you won’t live with a fear or sadness of staying far away from family as you will be welcomed with so much love from the seniors. Even in the current situation, there are no instances of ragging because every student has the right to complain to SWD. Moreover, no one hardly gets time for ragging at BITS Pilani.
How is the life of students in IIIT Vadodara?
The college life at IIIT Vadodara is very exciting. It does not involve only academics like other colleges but provides a blend of academics and co-curricular activities to all the students with comfortable surroundings.
- Unlike other colleges, the academic pressure is less on students and normally the classes are from 8.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. This gives various opportunities to students to pursue their interests in many other fields as well.
- Normally, it is seen that students are overburdened by the assignments and other projects but the teachers at IIIT Vadodara give proper time to students to submit their assignments or any other related projects.
- There are various clubs and societies in the college like literary club, music club, dramatic society, gaming club, photography club, and even especially designed coding club.
- The hostel life is very exciting for the students. Though there is little shortage of basic amenities students manage to get them by nearby shops.
- A hostel is a place where they develop never-ending bonds with helping seniors or batchmates and create innumerable memories that they could cherish for their entire life ahead.
If you get a chance for admission to IIIT Vadodara, do not miss it. It is really worth spending the entire four years of your life here.
When will the students of IIIT Kota be shifted to their own building?
Nothing can be said definitely as it depends on time. Understandably, this question will arise in anyone’s mind who is considering taking admission here.
There have been rumors such as the batches will be shifted to RTU Kota but, now the building of IIIT Kota is under construction near Ranpur. Probably till 2023 or 2024, there will not be any shifting from its present campus at MNIT Jaipur because of the two following reasons.
- Covid-19 has added to the difficulty and the risk of shifting. There are chances that this will definitely impact the shifting if it was planned early.
- You will not find any institution that wants to risk the placement of its students. The placement of the batch of 2023 or 2024 may get affected if shifted. And, this will not only affect the lives of the students but also the reputation of the institution.
How is Bishop Heber College?
Bishop Heber College has two sections, i.e. aided and self-finance. The faculties for the aided section are pretty good compared to the self-finance section. The faculties from the self-finance section lack experience. The infrastructure of the college is decent. K.A.P Vishwanathan Block is for arts and science department. Bishop Solomon doraiswamy block is for computer science students and other departments. It has a good library with large stock of books as well as a book bank.
There are four hostels for boys and girls each. Food provided is average at best. 8 people are allotted to each room.
You won’t find a decent wi-fi connection on campus. Use of mobile phones is prohibited though many use it secretly.
What is the average package of chemical engineering at IIT BHU?
Placements Of Chemical engineering at IIT BHU are quite decent. The average package which a chemical engineering student gets depends on the sector in which he/she will work. Broadly speaking, there are two sectors of work for chemical engineering students, first the core sector and second the non- core sector. The core sector comprises like ONGC, IOCL, HUL, ITC, etc. offers ranged between 10- 12 lakhs per annum in the year 2019. From the chemical engineering department, a total of 43 students got placed last year.
The second sector is the non-core sector which comprises software, analytics, and consultancy firms. Placements in this sector are relatively easy because more job offers are available particularly in the software sector. The average package offered by software firms is around 23- 24 lacs per annum and the highest package offered in this sector was 55 lacs per annum. These companies are not interested in academic credentials but are only concerned about the coding knowledge of the applicants. Generally, if a student starts coding in his/her 4th year then he/she settles with a package of Rs 10- 13 lacs per annum, but on the contrary, if a student starts coding from his/her first year then he/she generally gets a package of around 35 lacs. Also, some students pursue their career in analytical and consultancy firms. The average package in these firms is around 15 lacs per annum.
How are the mechanical placements at SVNIT Surat??
As per the 2022 statistics, out of 219 registered B.Tech Mechanical students, 174 were successfully placed. The highest package offered was 18.45 LPA, and the average package stood at 8.81 LPA. 3.60 LPA was the lowest package offered during that year.
Now, as a former student of the department, I would advise you to secure at least 6.5 CGPA by the end of your degree. To be safe, try for 7 CGPA and above. Try to get 8 and above in your first year, and maintain 6.5 and above in the remaining years. Scoring is comparatively easier in the first year.
To ace your technical interview round, have basic knowledge of all your Mechanical subjects. The companies might be open to 60% scorers, but the final shortlist will only contain the names of those who would’ve scored at least 65%-70% (depending on the number of applicants).
The reputable and high paying companies will have higher competition, and consequently, higher cutoffs. Have a good grasp over the core concepts of your interest, and try to participate in extracurricular activities. Keep up with the current affairs. Study with utmost dedication and sincerity.
The placements for Mechanical are top notch at SVNIT, afterall it is an NIT. But it is you who needs to be up to the mark to qualify for decent paying companies.
Can I get a management quota seat in KMC Manipal if my NEET score is 249?
I hate to say this but you won't be able to get a seat at KMC Manipal or Mangalore unless you have a pretty decent score and rank. Moreover, KMC Manipal has no management seats at all and the admission process is absolutely transparent. This is what sets it apart from other private medical colleges. Only the deserving candidates make it to KMC Manipal.
There is a separate NRI quota wherein international students from the USA, Emirates, Singapore, Indonesia, and African countries apply separately.
So, there are no reserved category seats at KMC Manipal at all, so irrespective of your category, admissions are based solely on merit.
