Did you take admission in IIT Guwahati?

VT
Vikas Tripathi Posted On : May 4th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2019)

Yes, my brother had taken admitted to IIT Guwahati as he was a nature lover and its campus suited him best. Life here is full of adventures and new discoveries. This is the best campus life you can explore.

Most academic centers and buildings are surrounded by hills that add to the scenic view. You can bring your family here and make them feel proud of you. Alcheringa is one of the best cultural fests in the country.

At IIT Guwahati, you will see every festival is celebrated with equal enthusiasm. Irrespective of your cultural background, you will get to explore every religion and culture. IIT Guwahati has a great appreciation culture and awards Ana’s recognitions are in plenty. The talents and skills of students are recognized by the institute and honored. 

If you are feeling low and want a break from the rush hour, you can just sit and relax on the benches near these campus lakes.

Tea and coffee help you survive the difficult exam phase. The campus is home to many beautiful birds from far away. I will highly recommend you wake up early at least once and go for a morning walk. It will definitely be a life-changing experience!

What is it like to be a 40 year old M.Tech student at IIT Madras?

SD
Souvick Das Posted On : March 30th, 2023
Software Engineer at Microsoft

My uncle joined MTech at IIT Madras at the age of 39 and was made to stay at Krishna Hostel like any other PG student. The only advantage he got was a single room while most of his batchmates got double or triple-occupancy rooms.

Having lost his touch with studying, he had his share of fears but once the rhythm was set in motion, he soared high in academics and was able to manage his time well. Initially l, he did miss his job and normal life as being a student seemed weird to him. But the rigor of the curriculum and the enthusiastic peers steered all his fears away.

He rarely interacted with UG students who preferred ignoring their seniors in general. The UG and PG students only met in common areas like the library, and open-air theater and interaction was minimal. However, there are exceptions everywhere as towards the end of his program, my uncle was able to befriend 2-3 UG students who were keen to discuss the opportunities and challenges for a civil engineer.

What is criteria for taking minor at IIT Kharagpur?

SG
Senjuti Gupta Posted On : March 23rd, 2023
studied at IIT Kgp

Applying for a minor is possible only at the beginning of the 3rd year autumn semester provided that your CGPA is 7.5+. But I suggest you start taking courses related to your minor from the 2nd year autumn semester itself.

  • Make sure your CGPA is 8+ by the end of each semester, else your minor will be canceled.
  • On the basis of the requirements given in the minor curriculum list, make a good choice of courses.
  • You can change your departmental elective by approaching your faculty advisor for the same. He/she will login to his/her ERP and add the desired subject to your list. 
  • One needs to take at least additional 3 or 4 courses to earn a minor in another department.
  • You are required to maintain your ACGPA (additional CGPA) as well as CGPA (additional SGPA) 6+ once you have registered for minors.

Plan your semesters in such a way that you have available slots for that specific subject.

What are the best things for NIT Raipur students to do on weekends?

AG
Akhila Gupta Posted On : April 8th, 2021
B.TECH in Mining Engineers, National Institute of Technology, Raipur, Graduated 2020

A normal Sunday for an NIT Raipur student looks like the following.

  • Naya Raipur Road Trip: Naya Raipur is a popular place for visiting. It is frequented by a lot of NIT Raipur students. The place is popular for night-outs as well.
  • Food tours: As the quality of the food in the hostel is not up to the mark, the students go on a food binge on weekend nights. Places like ‘Little Hut’, ‘Pintu Dhaba’ are visited a lot by the students.
  • Hanging out: Many NIT Raipur students spend their Sunday nights hanging out with their friends in and around the city. They can be seen having a gala time at Marine Drive, Magneto Hall, Ambuja Hall, etc.
  • Sports: NIT Raipur students make the most of their Sundays by honing their skills in sports. A senior of mine used to play cricket every Sunday and he used to play almost the entire day. He was also an avid gamer and played games till it was time for dinner.
  • Club Committee Activities: Committee members can discuss their strategies at Central Garden, Left Garden, or Amul Parlour. Team Nrityam can also be seen discussing their plans on weekends and so can the Abhinay Team.

In the case of upcoming tests, the students utilize their weekends by immersing themselves in their books for preparation.

Sir will it be good to opt AIIMS Bhopal if I get 658 marks in Neet over BHU or kgmc?

AIIMS 2020

All the institutes are good at providing the best academics to the students. AIIMS Bhopal was established in 2012 in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, and is renowned for its infrastructure and campus. You will be given excellent placement support and an extra add-on to the AIIMS tag. The hostel facilities are pretty good, as they respect the privacy of students and offer a single room for everyone. The work culture, faculty support, college environment, and rich alumni network are commendable. They play a major role in increasing the potential of every student through their effective academic structure. So AIIMS Bhopal is the better option than BHU and KGMC.

Which is better, mining in IIT Kharagpur or mechanical in IIT Patna?

VS
Vishal Sharma Posted On : June 20th, 2024
Studies at IIT Kharagpur

First of all you need to lose this ideology that mechanical has more scope and mining has less scope. Every field has top notch research going in it and provides dynamic and challenging work opportunities. 

I also had the same dilemma and I chose Mining at IIT Kharagpur over other departments for to following reasons:-

  • IIT Kharagpur is famous for its Mining branch which is one of the core branches in b.tech.
  • IIT Kharagpur is ranked 6th in the NIRF ranking while IIT Patna is Ranked 41th.
  • IIT Kharagpur has a Median Salary of 16 LPA while IIT Patna is at 12 LPA.
  • IIT Kharagpur is one of the oldest institutes in India established in 1951.
  • Coal India also comes for recruitment at IIT Kharagpur and international companies like Rio Tinto come for recruitment process.

Should I join XIMB or re-attempt CAT?

KC
Kajal Chaturvedi Posted On : June 9th, 2021
B.Com Honours from Delhi University (2019)

XIMB is a good college but if you are willing to retake the CAT, you have a good chance of getting into a tier 1 college. In the long run, a tier 1 college makes a significant difference in terms of brand name, association, peers, and a strong alumni network.

One of my friends re-took the CAT exam. He mentioned some important factors you could focus on:

It seems that you have a good profile. You haven't mentioned anything about your work experience. Assuming you are a recent graduate, It is suggested that you get a job.

  • It can help you gain a better understanding of the path you want to take after earning your MBA.
  • In addition, almost all IIMs award points for work experience.
  • Working in a firm also allows you to gain insight into some real-world corporate issues.
  • You can use this in your B-school interviews as well.
  • If you have a non-engineering background, there is no problem; according to the trends this year, almost all IIMs are awarding extra points for academic diversity.

However, If you believe that your performance was unsatisfactory, you still have a full year to improve.
