One of my friends applied for PGDM Finance at LBSIM last year and was shortlisted for the interview round. Here are the questions that he had to answer during his interview.
There was a year gap after his graduation, so they asked what he did in that time period. He explained that he was self-employed. After the brief introduction, the following questions were asked.
To his surprise, he wasn’t asked the general questions like Why MBA? Strength and weakness, etc. Overall his experience was good and he was able to convert the call.
If you want to take a job as a lecturer in Government-run colleges, CURAJ is an appropriate option. It is a very good institution with good infrastructure and a peaceful learning atmosphere.
This course saves one year for the students doing M.Sc. then B.Ed. or vice versa. The faculty at the university is really good. They are from highly respectable institutions with years of educational experience.
It will also save you money. You can learn something else in that one year. So yes choosing CURAJ will prove beneficial for your career.
Doing an MCA from Bangalore University is certainly worth the time and money invested. It offers decent academics. Third semester onwards, the course work includes two mini projects per semester. This gives a lot of hands-on learning experience. These projects will also help you enrich your resume.
The placement will depend on how you utilize your skills and knowledge. The average CTC for MCA offered during the recent Bangalore University placements was INR 6 LPA.
Medi-Caps University is the best option as compared to the other universities mentioned here. Sage Universities have started recently. So, you will get better facilities at Medi-Caps.
However, if you have other better options, you should go for them instead. Medi-Caps is still a private college and the placement opportunities offered by this institute aren’t on the same level as SGSITS and DAVV.

IIT Hyderabad has also announced the second cohort of the Professional Certification program in AI in collaboration with Talent Sprint. The course is valid for both college and young professionals. It is a six months program including a five-week boot-camp. Topics covered in the program include AI, IoT, Blockchain, and other quantum technologies.
Since it was introduced recently into the curriculum, it is predicted to be one of the fastest-growing technologies in the market. After some years AI professionals will outpace the software engineers. Seats are less in the IITs, students really need to work hard and secure their seat.
IIIT Delhi has both CSE and CSAI (Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence). here's what's actually different:
CSE: core computer science curriculum — algorithms, OS, databases, networks, systems. the broadest CS program. placements ~96-97%. admission purely via JEE Main/JAC Delhi rank.
CSAI (CS + AI):
which is better? honestly for most software career paths, both are equivalent. companies recruiting at IIIT Delhi don't strongly distinguish between CSE and CSAI at the interview stage. but:
both are excellent. if you're genuinely into AI/ML, CSAI is a meaningful differentiator. if you're undecided about specialization, CSE is safer.

For students willing to change their branch after the first year, NIT Agartala has the provision of the branch slinging policy wherein you need an overall CGPA of about 9 for the first year.
However, before taking this decision always analyze the pros and cons because the branch does not matter much. Rather your determination and skills matter. Look for your real passion instead of running after the top branches. This sheep mentality won’t take you a long way and will rob you of your passions. So even while changing branches, don’t go for the branch with better placements, rather go for the branch where you have more interest.
So, getting a CGPA of above 9 will guarantee you a seat in your desired branch at NIT Agartala.
The MTech in Material Science at IIT Kanpur is a multidisciplinary program that caters to students from diverse backgrounds. It especially is well known for its cutting-edge research work and thus attracts those who are interested in the same.
Scope: Foreign universities give more preference to interdisciplinary research than the core and thus this program is perfect for those planning to do Ph.D. from a foreign university. IIT Kanpur has collaborated with 9 foreign universities and specializes in interdisciplinary research.
Placements: Very few core companies visit the campus for placements with Applied Materials, and KLA Tencor to name a few. Apart from this, Finance analyst, Banking, Software engineering, Gate coaching, and Jee Coaching, also offer roles to students of this program.
Curriculum: The course is purely theoretical with less practical approach.
Research: In MSP, Research is conducted in battery materials and electrode materials widening the scope. Other areas of research include Supercapacitors, Nano Materials, LEDs, and Flexible electronics.
Overall, the course has great scope and is likely to improve in the near future.
I will restrict my answer to Engineering Physics and Chemicals only as I know the same only.
I wouldn’t suggest anyone go for Engineering Physics if they have no intention of pursuing it later. Instead, look for other options in BTech and explore your interests.
