I am a B.Tech first year CSE student from NIT Warangal. What are the best ways to utilise my summer holidays?
My friend is a third-year CSE student at NIT Warangal. These are his tips to enhance your programming skills during your summer holidays-
- Coursera is a big help for freshers in any field.
- Do not learn numerous programming languages . It is futile to learn so many syntaxes and programming languages unless you know how to use them.
- Start competitive programming . Competitive programming is an excellent way to polish your programming skills. It is also a great exercise to set your logic in motion. For now, spend time on Codechef/ Topcoder/ Codeforces. For a fresher, Codechef is the best platform. Get into competitive programming before the start of your second year. This will also help you tremendously for the Data Structures & Algorithms course in your second year.
- Internships are easy to grab with the right skills and knowledge. So don’t worry about internships for now.
- You can start open-source contribution later on, if interested. But don’t do it just to be called an “open-source programmer/ contributor”.
- Use the internet as much as possible to enhance your knowledge and skills.
These tips are useful for CSE freshers from all colleges and universities, and not just NIT Warangal.
Why does IISER Mohali have the worst campus as compared to Pune or Kolkata?
IISER Mohali isn’t the worst campus as compared to IISER Kolkata or IISER Pune. The campus is clean and well-maintained. The brick line architecture looks great all the time. The Mohali campus is a biodiversity hotspot. There are 119 different species of birds including peacocks. There is a fenced area which is known as the Ecopark. It is an untouched ecosystem and is entirely wild.
Is it better to take admission in Andhra University or NIT Andhra Pradesh?
Both are very popular institutions in India. NIT Andhra Pradesh carries a brand tag, which might prove to be beneficial further in your career. It will obviously be a better highlight in your resume than only Andhra University.
It is suggested that you opt for either NIT AP or Andhra University, whichever suits your requirements. Here’s mentioning some points that might help you select:
- The branch you are getting plays an important role.
- If you are getting your preferred branch at Andhra University, go for it. Because choosing a course you are not interested in, be it in NIT, will be a bad choice.
- Check which location is more preferable. If you belong to Vizag then it is better to join Andhra University.
- Take help from your seniors in the college as they could give you proper guidance.
- Andhra University fee structure is very low compared to NIT AP, this will be helpful for economically backward students.
- Both AU and NIT AP have excellent and reputed faculty members.
Ultimately it won't matter if you join NIT AP or Andhra University. The only thing that will matter is your dedication to your studies and how you enhance your skills to get success in your career.
Which B school is better in placement offers as per job roles, IFIM Bangalore, IMI Bhubaneswar, or Kolkata or ICFAI IBS Hyderabad or Mumbai?
It is important to note that when it comes to placements in tier 3 B-schools, the job profiles offered are generally similar, with a focus on sales. However, the location of the B-school can have a significant impact on the placement opportunities available to students.
In cities where there are multiple B-schools located, such as Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Mumbai, competition between schools can be high, which affects the placements available to students. In contrast, schools located in cities without significant competition, such as IMI Kolkata and IMI Bhubaneshwar, may provide more reliable and decent placement opportunities.
What do you think about current NICMAR placements? Has NICMAR lost its credibility or it shows market scenario?
NICMAR, keep in mind that you have never been known to add a lot of value to students interested in core construction. My brother is a NICMAR graduate, and yes, it helps because there is no other institute from which the construction industry can recruit students.
NICMARians can work in non-core construction jobs, but never in Core Construction. Furthermore, they have a serious attitude problem because construction does not always go as planned.
Spending Rs 13 Lakhs in this market is not a good investment. As the average CTC offered at the institute is 6 LPA, according to the recent placement highlights.
In terms of student content, NICMAR has never had a lot of credibility. Yes, it is a good filtering process, and thus companies use NICMAR because it allows them to choose from a pre-filtered lot.
Which is better for Computer Science? College of Engineering, Guindy or Madras Institute of Technology, Chrompet?
If you are an academically interested person, both NIT Kurukshetra and PEC Chandigarh will cherish you, and you will get very good opportunities in both colleges. Here are some key points to consider when deciding between the two:
Commonalities between the two colleges:
- Both are constituent colleges of Anna University, so they share certain components, including course offerings, examination schedules, and university calendar events.
- Faculty transfers between the colleges occasionally, and collaboration in research is not uncommon.
- Both colleges have bright and interesting peers and professors to inspire you.
Where PEC Chandigarh is better:
- Scale: PEC is a bigger college with more people.
- Exposure: PEC is in the center of the city and is a well-known institution in the area.
- Faculty: PEC's faculty in the CS department has more doctorates, and the department has been around for a few decades.
- Seniors: PEC has been teaching computer science for longer than NIT Kurukshetra, so there are more alumni out there creating and contributing to organizations.
- Sponsors: Due to the above reasons, PEC has very good sponsorship for college events.
- Campus: PEC's campus is beautiful, with easy access to AU events like counseling, placements, and festivals that happen in AU grounds.
Where NIT Kurukshetra is better:
- Seniors Link: The link with seniors is much stronger at NIT Kurukshetra, with a strong emotional dimension to the senior-junior relationship.
- Entrepreneurship: NIT Kurukshetra has an incubation center on campus, which is great for students interested in starting up early on.
- Programming: NIT Kurukshetra has a good competitive programming culture, with consistently high rankings in the Regional ACM-ICPC competitions.
- Campus: NIT Kurukshetra's campus is conveniently located near Chromepet Railway station and the bus stop, making it easy to get around the area. The campus also has a rich history, serving as a hanger for wartime planes, and the aeronautics department hosts a couple of legacy planes for people to admire.
Ultimately, the decision between NIT Kurukshetra and PEC Chandigarh depends on your personal preferences and priorities. Consider factors such as location, campus facilities, faculty, and alumni network when making your choice.
Can I get into AIIMS Bhubaneswar with an AIR of 1097 and marks of 671?
AIIMS Bhubaneswar is one of the most popular colleges for MBBS in India with extremely high cutoff and competitiveness for admission. The closing cutoff rank for MBBS at AIIMS Bhubaneswar in 2023 for different categories are as follows:
| Category | Closing Cutoff Rank (2023) |
|---|---|
| General | 603 |
| OBC | 1065 |
| SC | 6720 |
| ST | 20333 |
| EWS | 1712 |
Thus, looking at the previous year's cutoff and trends, it is not possible for someone from the general category to get AIIMS Bhubaneswar with an AIR of 1097 and marks of 671 as the AII-India cutoff rank in 2023 stood at 603. Thus, general-category students should aim for a score of 685-690+ to get AIIMS Bhubaneswar. For the OBC category as well, it may be difficult to get into the institute with the given rank and score, as the cutoff rank has an improving trend every year. However, candidates for SC, ST, and EWS categories can get AIIMS Bhubaneswar easily with an AIR of 1097.
Where do private universities (LPU, AMITY or SHARDA) fail compared to IIT or IIM even though they provide all facilities and also claim to have the top foreign faculties?
Having foreign faculties or providing world-class facilities is not the only thing necessary to reach the level of IITs and IIMs. There are several necessary aspects that distinguish such private institutes from elite institutes like IIT and IIM, like -
- Students at IITs have different levels of educational qualifications.
- Students of IITs and IIMs are confident to reach heights in their work careers. But, this passion is mostly missing in 90% students in of private colleges
- Regular students at private institutes are satisfied with Rs. 4-5 LPA packages.
- Students from IITs usually have excellent depth in mathematics, and in coding.
- Students from private colleges make several mistakes in their preparation, which affect their entry into institutes like IITs. But, your hard work in college can surely make you successful.
- Students are even placed in companies like Amazon (Rs. 16 LPA), Adobe (Rs. 8 LPA), Sandisk (Rs. 8.5 LPA), etc.
- There are some institutes like BITS, VIT, Manipal, Dhirubhai Ambani University, etc, that are excellent institutes, having good faculties and enough resources.
- Other than those, most private institutes in India are not in good condition.
These are some of the main reasons why such private institutes, though providing excellent infrastructure and faculty, fail to reach the levels of IITs and IIMs.
Which companies came for placement at ISI Kolkata for an M.Stat?
Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Alphonso, JPMC, Walmart, Americal Express, Capital One, Mckinsey, Standard Chartered, etc. are the companies that come for placements at ISI Kolkata for M.Stat. Students are usually recruited as Data Scientists, Analysts, Associates in the field of Actuary, Data Science, Analytics, etc. According to the recent highlights of ISI Kolkata placements, the average CTC offered to M.Stat students is around INR 19 LPA.
Should I go for AIIMS Nagpur or PGI Rohtak?
Without any doubt, PGI Rohtak is a better choice than AIIMS Nagpur. I am also mentioning some points that work in favor of my stance.
- PGI Rohtak was established as early as 1960, while AIIMS Nagpur is a newly established college in 2018. It lacks a reputation and has less experience staff.
- PGI Rohtal is huge and spreads across an area of 350 acres while AIIMS Nagpur has only 150 areas.
- The clinical exposure and patient load at PGI Rohtak are way ahead of AIIMS Nagpur
- PGI has the advantage of the State quota for PG which is lacking in AIIMS Nagpur.
- Locals of Haryana can go to and fro their homes on weekends which is not possible for people of Nagpur.
- Rohtak has a calm vibe with a peaceful life and friendly people were Nagpur gives the hustle-bustle vibes of a city and has a lot of pollution.
- PGI has a huge batch size in comparison to AIIMS Nagpur meaning more competition and growth.
- AIIMS Nagpur has a diverse student body so you might face a language barrier while PGI mostly has people from Haryana.
Although AIIMS Nagpur is growing at a fast pace it won't be able to reach the level of PGI Rohtak in the near future.
