How is life at NIT Warangal?Are sports and other activities encouraged?
My brother completed his B.Tech first year at NIT Warangal. These are his views about NITW-
- Hostels- Boys hostels at NIT Warangal are well-maintained. The new girls' hostels are good but the old ones, Sarojini Hall and Priyadarshini Hall, need improvement. For first-year girl students, a single room is shared by four individuals and you will be allotted a room in Sarojini Hall. For first-year boys, the room is shared by two students. First-year students have a hostel curfew of 9 p.m. which is extended to 11 p.m. for seniors. Girls and boys are not allowed into each other’s hostels. You may not find the campus gender-neutral.
- Sports and Extracurriculars- You will find all the equipment for sports and extracurricular activities. The campus will provide you with all the facilities. But in terms of encouragement for the same, there is none. You can pursue extracurriculars for your all around development.
- Studies- NIT Warangal is known for its academic excellence. The faculty over there is good and the labs have all the necessary equipment.

What is it like to be an undergraduate student at IISc Bangalore?
In terms of research opportunities, IISc Bangalore is a wonderful choice. There are around 50 departments and you can walk into any of them and contribute to research work. The professors willingly take in undergrad students for summer and winter projects. Some of my friends do research work even during the semesters.
Most of the professors at IISc Bangalore are good. You will thoroughly enjoy their class. The kind of coursework that is offered ensures that you end up in decent American Colleges for your PG. However, it is after 2 years that you will get to know whether or not you will make it to American grad schools.
As an undergrad student at IISc Bangalore, I feel that the schedule is quite hectic and sometimes overwhelming. I have classes from 8:30 to 1. After that, my lab hours are between 2-5, they usually extend way past 6. I barely get time from my classes, assignments, and coursework.
Even during weekends, which are a holiday, most of my time is spent attending extra lectures and programs in and around the IISc Bangalore campus. My seniors have told me that after the 3rd semester, things usually relax a bit. However, that also depends on the courses and major that you choose.
Ultimately, IISc Bangalore will demand a lot of hard work from you, but the knowledge that you will receive here will make you excel at whatever you try in your life.
How is the ceramics department at IIT BHU?
My friend, like any other student, took IIT BHU Ceramic on the pretext of changing his branch. But the overall college life experience took him in awe and he lost focus on academics. Additionally, his batch was full of geniuses and he was unable to cope with the academic rigor. Only 10% of the branch is allowed to change their branch so there is tough competition making it very difficult. Ultimately he was unable to change his branch and was very disheartened.
But soon he started getting intrigued by the branch and gained interest in the same. Honestly, there are many ceramic engineering graduates excelling in almost every field today. The course structure is very flexible and gives you enough free time to prepare for competitive exams like Civils, CAT, GRE, GMAT, etc. At Least one student from every branch is able to make it into IIM Ahmedabad. However, in India, there is a dearth of opportunities in this branch, and professors from foreign countries are seeking young talents in the field. There are special vacancies for ceramic graduates in SAIL, EIL, RINL, and Mecon. Many students of the branch also establish their own startups.
My friend was very demotivated initially but after 4 lively years at the campus, interactions with the best professors, and excellent job opportunities he realized that Ceramic was the best option for him indeed.
How is IIT Kanpur for aerospace engineering?
IIT Kanpur aerospace engineering is a well-known branch of engineering and is much coveted among engineering aspirants. The credibility of the department is further explained on the basis of some common parameters
Faculty: IIT Kanpur provides diversity in teaching styles owing to a blend of experienced professors who have made great scientific achievements and professors who are new.
Research: In general IIT Kanpur's lab and the research done is known for its excellency contributing largely to the society. However, specifically talking about aerospace, I don’t think much research goes on in this field.
Placements: Owing to a weak aerospace sector, core opportunities in this field are belan with majority of students opting for non core placements. There are only a handful that are not driven by money and aerospace is their genuine passion. Such students opt for higher studies to work in core, which is necessary as aerospace is a very niche area requiring expertise.
Academics: The curriculum is very flexible offering a plethora of electives to choose from making it possible for students to become employable in more than one sector. You can choose electives based on your future prospects and don’t just have to rely on your branch for placements. This is helpful for higher studies as well as your strong grasp of various fields creates a positive impact on colleges thereby increasing your chances.
Overall, the campus life at IIT Kanpur is filled with fun and exciting experiences making it one of the best choices for any branch.
Which option is better, IIT Roorkee for geological technology or IIT Kharagpur for applied geology and exploration geophysics?

- In case you lose interest in Core geology you are always open to sitting for non-core placements which are in abundance at IIT KGP because of the alumni network.
- The curriculum at IIT KGP is way better than Roorkee in the sense that it is rigorous and much more industry relevant than Roorkee.
- IIT KGP has good administrative support and one can get funded for conferences.
- Being an MSc course, you can avail INSPIRE Scholarship given that you have a good GPA.
These points are more than enough of a deciding factor for you.

How do I get a transcript from KUHS University?
One of my friends studied at KUHS University. Let me share his experience of getting the transcripts, which you can follow to acquire them.
- Depending on your course, download your transcripts format from the University website.
- After getting the format, fill it online and take a printout. Get it attested from the college principal.
- Submit it to the university along with your degree certificate, internship certificate, and scorecards. They will verify it and counter it.
- The Attestation will be done by the registrar, then you have to pay some amount around INR 1080 via Demand Draft.
If it is for WES, that is conversion of percentage to GPA then make sure attestation by the principal is not there. Because WES requires attestation only from the registrar or controller of examinations.
