I am a first-year mechanical student at VNIT Nagpur. Should I try again for BITS? How is mechanical engineering at BITS Pilani when compared to VNIT Nagpur?
I think you should try for BITS again because of the additional advantages. BITS Pilani mechanical engineering courses are known for their rigorous curriculum, intensive industry collaborations and experienced faculties.
The dynamic learning environment at BITS Pilani prepares students for diverse career paths by fostering creativity and critical thinking. BITS Pilani also has excellent placement opportunities through strong industry collaborations and alumni networks around the world.
How much a tag of a premier B-school (IIM's) matters than a B-school (TAPMI, KJ, and LIBA) five years down the line?
There are two schools of thought on the same. The proponents would say that it matters a lot since the older your institute gets the more your alumni base spreads across the industry and in today’s corporate world connections are everything. Hiring managers ask for recommendations. Every college has its reputation in the market that has been built over a period of time by its students, faculty, and staff. But we also have people who dont believe in this concept and would like you to believe that only matters to an extent. Well that might be true for some but it takes a lot of effort to not be seen as a part of your institution
What are the best one year full-time executive MBA courses in India? Can anyone who has done the IPMX course at IIM Lucknow share their experience?
There are mainly 3 MBA programs in India:
- Two Year Program in Management- Aimed at people with less than 2 years of experience
- One Year Program in Management- Aimed at people with 2-15 years of experience
- Part Time Program in Management- Aimed at working professionals
Before we dwell on the best one-year full-time executive MBA courses in India, let’s understand what exactly a one year program is.
The 1-year-program gained fame in India after the success of ISB in the early 2000s. IIMs and other institutes initiated the same and have been offering the 1-year program since late 2000s. This program mainly offers high-quality education for experienced professionals. Some best programs offered in India are
- ISB- PGP (Post Graduate Program)
- IIM Ahmedabad- PGPX (Post Graduate Program for Executives)
- IIM Bangalore- EPGP (Executive Post Graduate Program)
- IIM Kolkata- PGPeX (Post Graduate Program for Executives)
- IIM Lucknow- IPMX (International Program in Management for Executives)
The admissions happen on the basis of GMAT, Essays, and Interviews. It is primarily meant for people with several years of experience but who want to upgrade their managerial skills.
The best part is that the 1-year-program is equivalent to an MBA internationally. Infact, major international rankings such as Financial Times consider the 1-year program. So the 1-year program at the top B-Schools in India will give you a similar experience academically.
As far as the IPMX course is concerned, it is not an Executive MBA.

I have a choice between IT (Information Technology) in NIT, Surathkal and CS (computer science) in RVCE, Bangalore. Which one would be a better choice in terms of placements, Brand name etc.??
Between the options, you should choose NIT Surathkal IT. Here are the reasons why.
- The syllabus difference between IT and CSE is not so much in this institute.
- The placement process in the institute is exceptional, specifically for the circuit branches, including IT, CSE, ECE, and EEE. However, in the last year, students are recruited by Google and Microsoft.
- NITK has its own brand name. Maybe it is an NIT, but the students here get a lot of exposure. JEE Mains toppers mainly take admission in this institute every year.
Here is a full overview of NIT Surathkal
You will have to stay here in the hostel, which provides a good experience for them. During the tenure of the course, you will learn how to take care of yourself. Also, if your hometown is Bangalore, then you can frequently visit home.

Am I eligible for IIM Ahmedabad with 10th 87.83%, 12th 78.2% and graduation BSc 88%?
You are eligible for IIM Ahmedabad. However, the question is whether you will get a call from IIM A or not. For IIM Ahmedabad, as per the 2021-23 shortlisting criteria, you need to be in the top 80% at each step of academics and CAT. But with your 12th score, you probably won’t be in the 80% as you are from the science stream. So you might not be shortlisted for IIM Ahmedabad.
Your chances of getting into IIM Ahmedabad or any of the BLACKI are quite thin. However, you should consider other top institutions like FMS and MDA that do not take into account past academic performance.
Despite the thin chances try to score 99.7+ in your CAT. Since you are from a non-Engineering background, you won’t face competition from among the engineering graduates. You’ll also get an advantage in the name of academic diversity. Make sure to get some work experience to make your chances of getting into IIM Ahmedabad better.
Give your CAT all the effort. If not the top IIMs, you will get admission into the best MBA institutions in India.
What are the highest marks obtained by a student in clearing the back paper in AKTU (UPTU)?
As far as the checking of back/carry over papers is concerned, there is no major difference between that of regular papers. It is just a myth that lesser marks are given in back papers than regular ones. In fact, there are many cases where the students scored higher marks on back papers in comparison to their regular ones.
There are some tips you can make use of to get the best out of back papers:
-
For theoretical answers always begin with a heading and definition. Proceed with answering the question in points (especially 10 marks questions)
-
Don't forget to include neat diagrams wherever necessary
-
Don't write extraordinarily long answers and refrain from including irrelevant information.
-
Done leave any questions unanswered. Write whatever little knowledge you have related to the question. You might get 2 or 3 marks for this.
-
If you are unable to go through the entire syllabus, make sure you study the previous 5 years' papers deeply. Almost 50% of the paper is from repeated questions.
The key is to input maximum effort. Start studying at least 10 days prior to your exams to get good results.
