Is Holkar Science College good for a B.Sc. in CS/PCM, if I couldn't secure admission in DU due to some family reasons?

DY
Disha Yadav, Posted On : November 22nd, 2021
studied at Holkar Science College, Indore (2017)

No, Holkar Science College might not be a good option for B.Sc. One of my friends studied there and according to him the college lacked many things.

There was no proper infrastructure, Buildings were neglected of proper care and maintenance. The ambience and the student crowd is not healthy. As most of them do not have any ambition or interest in learning new things. The students are also not competitive enough, which makes them less dedicated towards their studies. 

Even the faculties are careless and do not bother much if the student is learning anything or not. They often skip classes which ultimately leads to not completing the syllabus.

No cultural events or extracurricular activities take place here. It is suggested that you look for other options, compare them with it and then finalize.

How did IIT Indore become so good in competitive programming?

SB
Shivam Behera Posted On : June 17th, 2023
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Indore (2020)

Asking how IIT Indore became good in programming is as lame as asking why Indians are good at cricket. The only reason is that it’s the first thing IIT Indore did big and succeeded. 

There are a number of students who started the legacy one of them being Archit Karandikar, an IOI Bronze medal winner. Many followed the footsteps of this genius of them being Sanjeev Shenoy and Gaurav Agarwal who too gained fame in competitive programming. IIT Indore had the honor to even make it to the World Finals. In the World Finals of 2013-14, the trio went to Ekaterinburg and again achieved a milestone.

It was after this that IIT Indore picked pace in competitive programming and then competitive programming and many coding lovers started coming in flocks to IIT Indore CS. 

Sadly, the faculties are rarely involved and make no major contributions. It’s the students who are left on their own to give shape to their dreams and talents.

I had a one backlog in graduation (cleared); will I get rejected in the IIM Calcutta interview?

MM
Madhur Modi Posted On : November 30th, 2022
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (Graduated 2017)

No, IIM Calcutta does not usually reject you just because of a backlog in graduation provided that you have cleared it.

Majority of the batch consists of students from top colleges like IIT,NIT,BIT, DTU, etc. It's very common for a large number of students if these colleges have at least one backlog.

I have seen many cases where people receive calls from IIM Calcutta despite having repeated most of their courses. 

So no, a single backlog will not be a hindrance for your call from IIM Calcutta.

MB
Malvika Bansal Posted On : January 13th, 2022
B.Com from Shaheed Bhagat Singh College (2018)

The PGs near Shaheed Bhagat Singh College (SBSC) are not at all good. Many students have complained about it and moved to other places mid-semester. Students when leaving didn't even get back their security deposit.

You can choose to stay at Radhey Krishna Residency, Mehrauli. They have the best rooms, healthier and tastier foods. It is also very affordable and the living experience is great . You also get direct transport from college to Mehrauli.

Which is better for an MBA - Nirma or LBSIM in Delhi? 

KS
Krishna Srivastav Posted On : June 23rd, 2021
Studied at Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Management, New Delhi

The choice here ultimately comes down to your interest. First, decide whether you are interested in pursuing specialized MBA courses like MBA in finance or are you more inclined towards MBA general where you can opt for a specialization in your second year.

I have some friends at LBSIM Delhi. So, can give you some insight into the institute.

Specializations: You will be having a variety of specializations to choose from if you go for LIBSIM. You will get an enormous amount of exposure in terms of corporate, guest lecturers, meet-ups with major industrialists if you opt for this B-School.

Location: When it comes to location, there is an advantage too, located in Delhi which is India's capital and surrounded by two major industrial hubs, Gurgaon and Noida.

Alumni Base: Alumni base of LIBSIM is strong and the institute has maintained an amazing placement record as well.

2021 Placements

Average CTC

9.2 LPA

Highest CTC

32 LPA

No of recruiters

80+

Major recruiters

Classplus, Microsoft, Capgemini

Other B-Schools in India ranging equal in terms of ranking like Nirma fail to meet up the expectations of students as LIBSIM has set the bar too high.

Which is better: CSE in NIT, Durgapur or metallurgy in NIT, Warangal?

KS
Kalyan Shastri Posted On : September 8th, 2023
Lives in Warangal

I would like you to consider certain important things before making your decision-

  • College- Without a doubt, NIT Warangal is ahead of NIT Durgapur in terms of faculty, infrastructure and hostel facilities.
  • Subject - You need to choose your subject based on your interests. Without that you’ll either hate your profession or choose a completely different career path altogether. If you are into math, coding, logic and problem-solving, choose CSE. On the other hand, if you want to study materials, metals, extraction, etc, choose Metallurgy. 
  • Profession - CSE will give you better opportunities in the IT sector. You might get a fat check, work for a good company, and live in metropolitans. As you know, IT jobs are basically office jobs.On the other hand, core Metallurgy jobs deal with steel plants, mines and such. You’ll end up working in a remote area if you choose a core job.The placements for CSE are overall much better than Metallurgy, across all engineering colleges. But if you have a passion for metallurgy, you might end up in a good brand or get selected for a government position. 
  • Location- Both the places are culturally very different. Research a bit, and figure out which place’s food habits, climate, and culture suits you better.

According to me your college will last for 4 years. However, your branch will become an intrinsic part of your personality and profession. Unless you have an interest in Metallurgy or a good chance at sliding to another branch, choose CSE at NIT Durgapur.

What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at GNDU?

MK
Manpreet Kaur Posted On : October 21st, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering, Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar (2019)

My brother is in GNDU and here are his tips.

  • Enjoy your initial days at the campus, as these will not be repeated any time soon.
  • Take advantage of every opportunity to live life to the fullest.
  • Try hard to achieve the CGPA/SGPA/Percentage eligibility criteria. It would reduce the likelihood of failures and low grades in the end.
  • To cover good grades in the end, try to score higher on minor exams (MSTs). The lesser the syllabus, the higher the scoring aspect. Don’t wait until finals.
  • Maintain consistency. Revision every day will keep help you stay up to date while reducing the amount of pressure at the end.
  • Try to read more books to clear up any remaining doubts and gain a broader perspective on concepts.
  • Try to exceed 75% attendance.

These are some of the things that you should keep in mind.

Which is better NIT Jamsedhpur, NIT Raipur, NIT K,NIT Hamirpur, NIT Durgapur, NIT Jalandhar, DTU, NSIT or IIEST Shibpur??

PS
Piyush Sharma Posted On : December 3rd, 2022
B.E. in Mechanical Engineering, Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh (Graduated 2020)

There is nothing called a better college. One college can be good for you but bad for others. Similarly a college can be bad for someone else but perfect for you. Every college has its own flaws. So it depends on how much you are willing to overlook and get the best results.

Still if I have to make a choice among the above colleges, I will go for NIT Hamirpur. The peaceful ambiance and beautiful infrastructure is worth it.
