Do we get a refund if we pass the revaluation at JNTUH?

NG
Nikita Guha Posted On : August 8th, 2023
B.Tech from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad

No, you won’t receive any refund if you pass the revaluation at JNTUH. However, if you are confident that you should have passed the exam, and you still fail the revaluation, you can go for the challenging revaluation. However, you will need to pay 10,000 rupees for the same.

You will receive the xerox of your answer sheet during the challenging revaluation at JNTUH. If you pass during this, you can claim a refund on the entire cost of both revaluations. But there is a catch. You can claim the refund only if your marks get increased by 15%.

But you can not claim a refund for the revaluation at JNTUH even if you pass.

What is the scope of a bachelor of design from IIT Guwahati?

SG
Sohini Ghose Posted On : May 4th, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, 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?

RM
Ritika Mukharjee Posted On : March 30th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM)

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?

AB
Aarti Bora Posted On : March 30th, 2023
IIT Madras, IISc Bangalore

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?

RR
Riya Ray Posted On : November 29th, 2022
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Calcutta

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.

KT
Kim Tan Posted On : February 3rd, 2021
Studied at University of Waterloo

The difficulty level mainly depends on the majors you want to get into. The acceptance rate of the PSU is 96% which means it is not hard to get into. The admission procedure also changes depending on if you’re applying for an undergraduate or graduate course. Some majors are easy to get into while some are hard to get in, usually the in-demand majors have a larger applicant pool so there is that. Completing the program is more difficult as compared to getting in. The best thing about the institution is that the professors want their students to excel and become successful. If you’re an international student, you’ll have to provide many additional things like TOEFL/IELTS scores and some other exam scores depending on your program.

The admission requirements are different for freshman admits and transfer admits. The only requirement is to meet the eligibility criteria for the major you are interested in. PhD programs are hard to qualify as they are only admitting the best applicants. You also need to meet the course-specific requirement for your majors like CS, School of Music, etc. For admissions in Music major the applicants should clear the audition round and for CS the applicants should gain minimum grades for mathematics and CS classes and meet GPA requirements.

Acceptance rate 96%

Students faculty ratio 21:1
Students retention rate 74%
TOEFL 71
IELTS 6.0
PTE 53
SAT 560
DET 110
