UN
Urmimala Nath Posted On : June 15th, 2021
B.Sc Economics from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (2017)

It's great that this question has been asked for some advice and there will be no simple answer to the question of what or how. KNUST is both, big and a small university. Depending on how you see life and what you want to accomplish.

  1. The first and most significant piece of advice is to be curious. Take a week to discover all the locations and activities available to you.
  2. Professors are very strict and you have to work hard to match up to their teaching standards.
  3. Make your connections better, be it with your peers or teachers. Good connections will help you in the long run.
  4. Time management is an important skill you have to master.
  5. Always make an effort to get along with your roommates.
  1. Try to take part in everything, from student campaigns to organizing events. Your involvement in extracurriculars is highly regarded by interviewers.
  2. Always keep in mind the principles of discretion, moderation, balance, and ambition.
  3. Always reach for your goal.

Try to make friends and interact with everyone. Take part in industry visits, seminars conducted by visiting companies like TCS and Tech Mahindra. Top companies like Accenture, Wipro, Infosys also recruit students for internships. Always stay vigilant.

What should I choose between: IT in MAIT and CSE in MSIT?

SG
Sudesna Gupta Posted On : May 17th, 2021
B.Tech Information Technology, MAIT

MAIT and MSIT both are well-known colleges. Both of the colleges have good placements, faculties, and the right exposure for the students. However, it all comes down to you. If the subject is your preference then you should go for CSE because CSE is more preferable to IT. If placement and package are your preference then you should join MAIT since it is way better than MSIT in every way possible.

Here’s a brief comparison of the two institutes. 

Parameters 

IT at MAIT 

CSE at MSIT

Average CTC

3.50 LPA

4 LPA

Highest CTC

28 LPA

11.4 LPA

Course Fee

5.73 lakhs

5.26 lakhs

MAIT has better recognition than MSIT. More companies visit MAIT and recruit students with packages more than an MSIT student receives. CSE and IT branches have no major difference in curriculum and career choices are also almost the same so therefore the finalization comes down to colleges performance and status in which MAIT leads the way.

What are some problems facing BITS, Pilani today, academic and otherwise? How do we find a solution?

GM
Gargi Mishra Posted On : July 19th, 2021
B.E., M.Sc. Mechanical Engineering & Biological Science, BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus (2017)

According to my friend's personal experience, the biggest problem that is being faced in BITS, Pilani is that everyone has the same thinking and they go in that sync only. They want to be in one of the most prestigious engineering colleges just to get a decent CGPA, clear CGPA cut off for the placements, get a good placement and enjoy life afterward, which is pretty much boring.

All the students are not even aware of the various academic facilities that are being provided in the college. They aren't even aware of the fact that the library orders any book that a student desires through the library portal, which contains most of the famous journals including MIT Tech Review, Scientific American Harvard Business Review, and many others. The students focus more on salary rather than developing their overall personality and attitude towards the subjects they are studying.

My friend also feels that it will be better if the institute included some core subjects in the first year of the course instead of focusing on a generalized curriculum for all branches.

Some students also complain about the management and administration.

Is there any hostel near Motilal Nehru College in Delhi?

SG
Sharad Gupta, Posted On : November 22nd, 2021
studied B.Com at Motilal Nehru College, University of Delhi (2017)

No, there are no hostels near Motilal Nehru College (NLNC) Delhi. But there are lots of PGs nearby.

If you have a better financial condition go for Anand Niketan which is just opposite to Motilal Nehru College.

And if you want something affordable, you can choose Satya Niketan which is approximately 1.5 km away and opposite Venkateshwara College. Satya Niketan Market is always crowded mainly by the south campus students.

Both the areas are completely safe. But Anand Niketan will provide better comfort and a welcoming environment.

Are supplementary exams tougher from regular exams in an MBBS. I am going to write the exams this month, and my college is affiliated from RGUHS Bangalore. How strict will the marking be?

SH
Swastika Handa, Posted On : November 2nd, 2021
MBBS from Dr Ulhas Patil (2020)

No, supplementary exams are not tougher than normal papers. Some out of the syllabus questions come in exams. But that is not something to worry about. 

  • Prepare from the question papers of the previous 10 years. 
  • Proper hard work and dedication are necessary to score good marks.
  • The markings depend on the teachers who check the paper. 
  • Some teachers give good marks because they know that students are under pressure during exams but have worked hard enough. 
  • But some teachers check the paper very strictly, ending up with average scores.
  • The marking is something that is out of your control. You can only prepare well for the exam so focus on only that.
  • Try writing good answers, neat diagrams, and stay on topic.
  • Simplify your language.

For exams, time management is also essential. Do not put all your time into finishing one question. During practice, solve the previous year’s question papers in the given time to get accustomed to the pattern. This will help you complete the exam without any difficulty.

Which college is best, GIM Goa Core PGDM or IMT Ghaziabad marketing?

ST
Shubham Tiwari Posted On : February 16th, 2023
Former Consultant at KPMG (2019–2021)

Both IMT Ghaziabad and GIM Goa are highly reputable institutes for post-graduation in marketing. Both institutes have a strong track record of producing high-quality graduates who are well-equipped to excel in the marketing field. However, when considering which program to pursue, there are several factors to take into account such as the quality of students passing out of these colleges, placement opportunities and profiles that interest you, and your academic scores.

It is recommended to research and speak with students from both institutes, as well as professionals in the field, to gain a better understanding of the curriculum, faculty, and alumni network of each institute. Additionally, if you have poor academic scores, it might be a good idea to consider a program with fewer students, to increase your chances of success. Furthermore, if you have more work experience, it would be a good idea to look into IMT Ghaziabad as it offers various opportunities for students with more experience.

IMT Ghaziabad is considered to be a tier above GIM Goa in terms of ranking, brand perception, placements, and opportunities. It is ranked in the same tier as the new IIMs, SIBM, NMIMS, XIMB, SCMHRD, and MICA. Additionally, IMT Ghaziabad is known for having a strong focus on marketing as its forte. On the other hand, GIM Goa falls in the category of institutes such as KJ, Fore, BIM, etc. It is important to do your research well and make an informed decision based on your career aspirations and goals.

Which is better: EEE at BITS Pilani or CSE at BITS Hyderabad/Goa?

MS
Monith Sourya Posted On : May 14th, 2024
B.E. in Computer Science, BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus Graduated 2020

If you are interested in how the electrical system works including the power systems and electronics, you should opt for EEE at Bits Pilani. If you aim to become a software developer or are interested in algorithms, programming, machine learning and artificial intelligence, then you should opt for CSE at BITS Hyderabad/Goa. 

In terms of placements, if you choose EEE, you can expect to get placed in telecommunications, automation, power generation and electronic manufacturing companies. When it comes to CSE, you can be recruited by software development companies, intelligence, data science, artificial intelligence companies, etc. The scope of CSE is better than EEE. 

Both campuses have the same placement process and top companies visit both campuses. Both CSE AND EEE have bright prospects when it comes to career growth opportunities, so I would recommend you choose the one that you prefer more.

What is the class schedule for an M.Tech in NIT Warangal?

CR
Chitra Roy Posted On : August 19th, 2023
M.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Warangal

For 1st year M.Tech students at NIT Warangal, classes are held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday. There are no classes on Saturday. You will get a lunch break of two hours, from 12 noon to 2 p.m. The classes are of 1 hour each, so there are 7 slots- from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and then from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. The morning slots are filled with theoretical classes. For any 3 days a week, you will have 2 labs and 1 seminar (one among them for a single day), for a 3-hour duration. These are scheduled in the afternoon slots. On the remaining 2 days when you have no labs or seminars, you will mostly have 1 or 2 theory classes in the afternoon slots. The chances are low, but you might also have no classes in these slots. 

There are no classes during the 2nd year. So you have all the time to complete your M.Tech thesis. But you need to regularly update your guide on your progress. You may occasionally be asked to take the labs of your M.Tech juniors or the B.Tech students.

The most important thing is that you have to sign on the department register before a set time each day, during the weekdays. This is to give your attendance for the day. You will have to do this for both years in order to receive stipends.

This is the complete class schedule for an M.Tech at NIT Warangal.

Is CSE faculty at IIIT Hyderabad good?

AC
Anupama Chauhan Posted On : August 1st, 2023
studied at International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad

My friend studies in IIIT-Sricity which shared some faculties with IIIT Hyderabad initially as it was under its mentorship. 

Generally, you can find both good and bad professors here. But the bad here does not mean underqualified, but arrogant ones. By no means will you find a professor who is underqualified and their extensive knowledge is their biggest weapon. Some of them are as great as Prof Raj Reddy, a Turing award winner which is considered a Nobel Prize or Oscar for Computer Science. So you can get an idea of the level of faculties here. 

In reality, most students at IIIT Hyderabad are dependent on peers or seniors more than their faculty. So you can stop bothering about the parity of the professors here.
