What is it like to do an internship at ISB Hyderabad?
The Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad provides a stimulating and friendly environment for interns, with many opportunities for networking and professional development. The school hosts a variety of seminars and guest lectures, which can be valuable for making connections and learning about different industries. One intern was able to secure an internship at General Electric by approaching a panelist at a seminar. Additionally, ISB Hyderabad is a great choice for those interested in starting their own business, as the campus offers resources and support for entrepreneurs.
Interns at ISB Hyderabad typically engage in data collection, research, and analysis as part of their work. The nature and scope of the work can vary depending on the project and the professor's goals. For example, an intern may be tasked with conducting web research and summarizing their findings, or they may be involved in more in-depth analysis and insight generation. The work may seem tedious at first, but it is an essential skill for a career in management consulting. Interns are encouraged to be creative and have frequent discussions with their professors.
The ISB Hyderabad campus is beautiful and well-maintained, with plenty of green spaces and areas for relaxation. There are also ample options for food and leisure activities. The only downside is that the school does not provide on-campus accommodation for interns.
How did Yogesh Jindal learn finance concepts taught at IIM Ahmedabad? Did he take any special coaching?
My sister was in Yogesh Jindal’s batch and had asked about his understanding of finance concepts. He told her that initially he thought finance was rather a tough one for him but he utilised the maximum resources available and managed to score good marks even without coaching classes. Some tips he shared along the way are:
-
Attending remedial classes: Remedial classes are organised by seniors who have already understood the concept. It helps in adding points to their CV while for us we get free knowledge from the best.
-
Group discussion: Make friends that will help you clear any doubts.
-
Preparing before the class: We usually ignore this crucial step. Preparing before the class helps in better understanding of the concepts
-
Interact with teachers: Take help from your teachers in case of any queries inside or outside the class. It’s better to clear doubts in the class than regret it later.
Yogesh Jindal did not necessarily employ extensive means to score well. He simply had put a lot of effort in basic things and paved his own way.
Is NIT Patna underrated? Why it is not so recommended?
There are many factors that have affected the reputation of NIT Patna for the worse
Earlier, NIT Patna had a very poor placement scenario and IT giants like Google and Amazon did not visit the campus. This affected the reputation severely. However, the situation has now improved and last year Amazon offered a package of INR 1.8 CPA, Meta offered a package of 1.6 LPA and Google offered a package of INR 1.1 CPA.
- Another major factor that has affected the reputation of the institute is it’s location. Bihar is considered to be underdeveloped
- The campus of NIT Patna is very small around 35-40 acres and the infrastructural facilities are also limited.
- The professors are usually young and not very experienced. But the bright side is they are more passionate and open to new ideologies.
These were some of the reasons NIT Patna is underrated. It’s a very promising college that fails to attract the right lot. In fact, the professors in the ECE branch are among the 2% of world scientists.
How is the overall life, teaching, and placements at IGIT, Sarang? What are the other events that take place there other than studying?
Companies such as TCS, Jindal, Apmosys, and TechM are regular visitors to IGIT, but placements at other renowned colleges are undeniably superior.
Teaching is somewhat good, but it depends on the field you choose because different students have different perspectives on their trade. Metallurgy and Electrical had produced some outstanding students. Many of the faculty members have sufficient knowledge to clear your doubts.
The most important aspect of life at IGIT is that it is a completely new world. Anyone who is unfamiliar with the system may feel anxious at first, but as time passes, you will acknowledge that it is a life-changing four-year journey.
Aside from academics, the college offers sports, photography, literary activities, cultural activities, and so on. Overall, it's a good place to study; the hostel facilities are excellent, and the environment is calm, warm, and welcoming.
What are the drawbacks of studying in CGC landran?
I have a few friends at CGC Landran, and here are some things that they complain about.
- The faculty of this college is very poor and the students have to rely on themselves for most of their studies.
- There are no facilities for sports which is a major issue, as sports is very important along with academics and it needs to be encouraged and played more often.
- The placements are also very poor, especially in the Mechanical branch which has no placements in core companies. Although CS/IT branch has good placements.
- The library of CGC Landran is not very big and some important books like the spectrum of mathematics are available in limited numbers which makes it very difficult for every student to get it.
- The hostel food is not very good but the hostel charges are very expensive.
So, these are some of the drawbacks of CGC Landran which the students are facing every year, and these conditions are needed to be resolved in order to improve.
Which is better for B.Tech. CSE: Presidency University, Bangalore or Christ University Faculty of Engineering, Bangalore?
Having friends studying in both colleges makes me able to answer your question. Both colleges have convincing reasons and have been in existence for the longest time.
Christ University offers excellent engineering programs and a highly qualified faculty. They also have an excellent campus. However, based on their online reputation, students are dissatisfied with the programs.
Presidency University, Bangalore, has an advantage in this regard. The former students have nothing but positive things to say about the faculty. They are cooperative and helpful. The curriculum is always completed on time, giving students enough time to prepare for exams and assignments. It also has some of the best classrooms in the country, all of which are equipped with digital technology for enhanced learning.
