AS

B.Tech in Computer Science, Delhi Technological University (2019)

Absolutely, it is true. It has been seen that many students who have average academic scores are selected in IIM Indore for the IPM course. Basically, the selection is based on the criteria that include aptitude test score, personal interview, and written ability test for which the scores required are 50 percent, 35 percent, and 15 percent respectively.

The panelists in the interview can ask various questions related to the low academic score but if you can tackle the situation with some of the respectful reasons then there is a high possibility for your selection.

Lastly, we can say that despite your low academic score you can manage to get into IIM Indore for the IPM course by giving your best into the personal interview and written ability test.

Out of VIT Pune and Symbiosis Institute of Technology Pune, which should I choose?

CR
Chandni Rohit Posted On : May 3rd, 2026

between VIT Pune (Vishwakarma Institute of Technology) and SIT Pune (Symbiosis Institute of Technology), the choice depends mainly on your branch and budget:

for CSE specifically — SIT Pune has a slight edge in brand due to the Symbiosis group name, better coding culture, and slightly better placement numbers. MIT Pune is actually the better option among private Pune colleges for CSE, but between just these two, SIT Pune > VIT Pune for software careers.

however, the bigger picture that most answers miss:

  • if PICT Pune is an option for you — PICT > both SIT and VIT Pune by a wide margin for CS (much lower fees, excellent placements)
  • if MIT Pune (MAEER's MIT) is an option — MIT Pune is generally considered above both SIT and VIT Pune in overall reputation
  • VIT Pune (Vishwakarma) recently got university status and is now also called Vishwakarma University — same institution, growing

fees comparison: SIT Pune ~Rs.2-2.5L/year, VIT Pune ~Rs.1.5-2L/year. SIT's slightly higher fees come with the Symbiosis brand. if you can afford it and are choosing between just these two for CSE — go SIT Pune. if budget is tight and you want a decent Pune college, VIT Pune is not bad at all.

What should a first year btech student do in SVNIT?

AS
Amit Sharma Posted On : January 4th, 2024
Studied at NIT Surat

Here is some advice based on my personal experience-

  • Hostel- Even if you are a local, opt for the hostel. The experiences gained from hostel life are very important, and most of the unforgettable memories are made in this very space.
  • Explore the campus- The SVNIT campus is mesmerizing and thrilling at the same time. Make sure to explore it well, and do capture pictures of the beautiful peacocks that roam around.
  • Clubs and Student Chapters- Do not hesitate from joining a club or student chapter. Those are the best places to develop or polish your skills. At these clubs, you’ll meet some wonderful people and get the chance to learn from them.
  • Communicate with people- Initiate conversations with your batchmates and seniors. Some people are better teachers than books. 
  • Limit your internet usage- Do not spend the entire day in your hostel room just for the sake of free and high speed internet. Even if you are purposefully surfing the internet, make sure to limit your screen time. Always prioritize offline interactions and activities over online ones.
  • Pointers- Despite what others might tell you, getting good pointers is important for your future. If you are not getting high grades, make sure to be an achiever in extracurriculars, or learn some skills exceptionally well to make up for your lack of academic success. 

These are just some of my insights as a former student of SVNIT. Work hard and enjoy to the fullest.

Is IIIT Lucknow better than NIT Patna?

SD
Saurabh Das Posted On : April 22nd, 2023
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Patna (2022)

If you're wondering whether IIIT Lucknow is better than NIT Patna, the answer is no. Here's why:

  • Age of the Institutions: IIIT Lucknow is a newly established institution, founded in 2015. On the other hand, NIT Patna has been in existence for over a century, with its foundations dating back to 1886.
  • Legacy and Reputation: NIT Patna has a long-standing legacy and reputation as one of the oldest engineering institutes in the country. It was formerly known as Bihar College of Engineering and was converted into a National Institute of Technology in 2004. IIIT Lucknow, on the other hand, does not have the same legacy or reputation.
  • Alumni Base: NIT Patna has a vast alumni network, which includes notable personalities such as the former Chief Justice of India, Rajendra Mal Lodha. IIIT Lucknow, being a relatively new institution, does not yet have an established alumni base.
  • Placement Records: NIT Patna has a proven track record of excellent placements, with its graduates being hired by some of the biggest companies in India and abroad. IIIT Lucknow, being a new institution, has not yet established a similar track record.

In conclusion, NIT Patna is a better choice compared to IIIT Lucknow. Its age, legacy, reputation, alumni base, and placement records make it a more established and reliable institution.

How does one go from Ahmedabad Railway Station to IIT Gandhinagar?

RS
Reshmi Sen Posted On : March 31st, 2021
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar (2019)

From the Ahmedabad Railway Station (Kalupur Junction), the campus is at a distance of approximately 30kms.

  • The common modes of transportation available from the Station to reach the college are auto-rickshaws and taxis. Although Uber/ Ola is more preferable. 
  • All of these transportations will take you directly to the campus. It will cost around Rs 200–250 per ride.
  • Apart from this, the Institute also has a free shuttle service facility from VGEC (i.e. IIT Gandhinagar’s previous campus). These have been transferred to the new campus and they are very convenient. 
  • If a student reaches the VGEC campus, they can then catch the shuttle from there for the permanent campus. Reaching VGEC is quite cheap and it will cost around Rs 150 by Auto or Uber. 

The latest timings of the shuttle are 7:15 AM, 9 AM, 12 PM, 3 PM, 6 PM, 7:30 PM (8 PM on weekends), and 10:30 PM.

How tough is it to change branch from ECE to CSE in Heritage Institute of Technology?

TB
Tushar Biswas Posted On : September 22nd, 2021
B.Tech Information Technology, Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata in 2020

To change the stream from ECE to CSE, having an SGPA of 8.5 or more at the end of the first year is mandatory. It goes without saying that you will have to focus on your academics and try to maintain regular attendance. Complete your lab assignments and you can easily achieve an SGPA of 8.5 or even more.

Heritage Institute is now an autonomous institute so all the scores are in the hands of the faculty. The scoring rate has seen a slight decrease since the time it was under WBUT.
