What is the scope of a bachelor of design from IIT Guwahati?
Bachelor of Design or B.Des is a great program offered by IIT Guwahati. Here are a few pros and cons to give you a better understanding of the course
Pros:
- Excellent placements: The Bachelor of Design at IIT Guwahati has amazing placements. The placement percentage is around 85-90%. The highest CTC in 2021 was recorded at INR 35 LPA and the average is in the range of 12-15 LP.
- Easier grading: IIT Guwahati follows a relative grading system which means you will be graded relative to the students of your branch. This system is very easy and I know a student who had a 7.3 CPI of 7.3 in his first year but managed to score 9.2 in his third semester. Many others have an SPI above 9.
- Matter- The concepts taught are associated with the job roles you will be offered and the learning experience is great with very approachable professors. You will be given many projects to hone your skills.
Cons
- Owing to the general assumption, people will consider you inferior for joining this branch. However, it’s much more than just art. It comprises web designing, app designing and other designing elements.
All in all, to make the most out of the program you will have to explore beyond academics and undertake challenging projects to broaden your knowledge base.
How is the integrated BS-MS in physics program in IIT-Madras?
The integrated BS-MS 8’ Physics program offered at IIT Madras is a dual degree in reality. The program is a great success because it is under the umbrella of IIT Madras' excellent Physics department. This department is affiliated with CERN and LIGO and has approachable professors and a friendly ambiance for study.
One has to clear JEE to become eligible for this program. The cutoff keeps changing and this program has a small batch size of around 10-15 students. The small batch size is because the program has been newly launched and is still yet to be made known.
The peer group has geniuses from every culture and academic background. IMT might be a rank holder in Karnataka CET while the other may be a 98% in class 12th. There are dynamic discussions among the students and it’s more than one can ask for.
Additional features include INSPIRE scholarship of around INR 60000/- year. You even get the golden opportunity to attend the KVPY Vijyoshi camp.
Ultimately, this program is a dream come true for Physics lovers and is a better option than Engineering for them.
What are the placement prospects of a student pursuing a B.Tech in metallurgy and materials engineering in IIT Madras?
My friend graduated from IIT Madras a few months ago and was devastated by the placement scenario of her branch. It almost seems that only Electrical and Computer Science students were eligible for decent placements, rest all suffered.
Talking about Metallurgy specifically, he did not find a single core company visiting the campus for placements almost as if the branch was non-existent. He was told to maintain a good CGPA of 7-8+ for core roles but no core company visited.
In case you are looking for a high-paying non-core job, which is the case for most IITians, you will have to appear for several written and online exams not related to your specialization. You will have to make a good resume by including extra skills, developing your personality, and going the extra mile in your academics to achieve a high-paying job.
Concludingly, Metallurgy has little or no core job prospects so you will have to work hard to get non-core jobs.
Why is Prof. Anju Seth considered as the worst director in IIM Calcutta's history by faculty, students, and alumni?
The reputation of Prof. Anju Seth has been tainted recently with allegations of promoting cost-cutting of the institute. This has largely affected the quality of research conducted. Some major changes due to this cost cutting are:
-
Digital subscriptions have been taken off our library
-
No payments to the institute’s support/admin staff for work like minor tasks during convocation or dressing the students and helping them out during the event.
-
Many students suffered during the pandemic as they were not allowed to leave without paying
Although the students, alumni, and faculty all have voiced their concern to the management but in vain.
