What has NIT Calicut taught you?

MR
Meghna Roy Posted On : April 11th, 2023
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2018)

NIT Calicut is committed to providing its students with a well-rounded education that equips them with the skills and knowledge required to excel in their chosen fields. Some of the key takeaways that students can expect to gain from studying at NIT Calicut include:

  • Attendance matters: Showing up regularly and maintaining good attendance can help you in many ways, from keeping up with coursework to building relationships with faculty and peers. Aim to maintain attendance above 80% as it can prove to be beneficial for your academic career.
  • Take risks: College is the perfect time to explore new things and take risks. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try things that you have no clue about, such as dance, drama, debate, or fancy dress. You never know what you might discover about yourself.
  • Value of labor: College life is not just about studying; it's also about contributing to the community. Whether it's lifting benches for a tech fest or coordinating events for a cultural fest, you will learn the value of labor and realize that everyone is a part of the puzzle, and one wouldn't work without the other.
  • Dealing with change: Towards the end of your college life, you may realize that things are going to change, and those happy carefree college days are gone. You will learn to deal with change and the growing up that comes along with it. This experience can be invaluable as you move on to the next phase of your life.
  • It's never too late: College is a time for exploration, and it's never too late (or early) to try new things. Whether it's participating in a free-for-all or exploring a new hobby, embrace the opportunities that college presents.

Studying at NIT Calicut also provides students with a strong foundation in technical skills, hands-on experience, research skills, professional development, and ethical values, which are all essential for a successful career in engineering, technology, or management.

Which is best, ECE at Thapar University or CSE at Jaypee Noida?

SP
Shaguna Pandey Posted On : August 12th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Programming, Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (2019)

CSE at JIIT is clearly better than ECE at Thapar. You must have a minimum JEE rank of 51,000 to get CSE at JIIT Noida. 

There are no state quota, caste quota, or NRI quota at JIIT but Thapar offers a 50% quota for Punjab state students. This results in a superior quality of students at JIIT Noida than Thapar. Due to quotas and an increase in the number of seats, anyone can get admission at Thapar University.

If a student has a 300,000 rank in JEE Main, he will not be able to gain a seat anywhere, but if he is from Punjab, he may be able to secure a place in Electrical Engineering in Thapar. This explains how Thapar's situation has deteriorated.

JIIT will offer you great exposure which is actually required in CSE with regular industrial visits. CSE has more scope in terms of placements than ECE.

How is the Dhenkanal Campus of IIMC?

RB
Ruma Basu Posted On : January 20th, 2021
PG Diploma English Journalism, Indian Institute of Mass Communication, Dhenkanal (2008)

Though almost every candidate has his first preference for the Delhi campus of IIMC, it is no better than the Dhenkanal campus. The courses taught at IIMC cover a large number of things but none of the topics are covered properly. After the course, you will know a lot of things, but nothing to the core.

The points listed below create an imagery of the Dhenkanal campus of IIMC.

  • It has a spacious campus and fewer students (about 85), with lush green forest, clean air, and buildings of an average infrastructure.
  • The months of March and April in these buildings are quite dreadful.
  • Wi-Fi is not at all good and half of the time there will be no internet access.
  • There are complaints about the toilets from almost every student. Students have to rush to their hostel to use the toilet.
  • Dhenkanal has average medical facilities, where doctors treat every other disease with an injection.
  • The hostel is quite spacious but the students face problems like monkeys stealing things, scorpions and snakes are seen sometimes. The hostel warden and staff are not supportive in need.
  • Food inside the hostel has a diminishing quality with time. There are also food joints nearby such as Kafils, RK Regency, Nirupama, etc.
  • English and Oriya Journalism share the same class and faculties. Most faculties are temporary or visiting staff. They teach for a period of 3-4 days.
  • You should try to keep a good margin of attendance during our initial days. So, that you don’t get in trouble for low attendance after. 
  • The faculty lacks a serious set of professors who can teach for an entire session and the management takes no necessary steps for the purpose. The teaching faculty is said to just make presentations and deliver them to students, which is not at all a productive way of teaching.
  • You have to make all the necessary preparations by yourself for the theory exams. The software for radio/DR/TV/lab journals is not as promised by the institute. You have to cover every practical knowledge too on your own, practical being 3/4th of the entire course.
  • Classes run from 9:30 to 6:30, with 70% of no gain.
  • The inward behavior of the management and faculty has some sort of backwardness in racism and discrimination in gender too. There have been instances of problems for dress related judgment.

But, due to IIMC fame, the degree has value. In terms of knowledge gained, it is not worth it. Private institutes like ACJ are said to be better but the course fee is quite expensive. To end on a good note, you will meet people from different parts of the country and that is bigger teaching in itself.

Does IIM Ahmedabad still have the policy to call all 100 percentilers in CAT for an interview? What are the other necessary conditions?

PR
Parth Reddy Posted On : May 15th, 2023
Studied at IIM Ahmedabad

Yes, IIM Ahmedabad still has the policy to call all 100 percentilers in CAT for an interview. Most 100 percentilers get a call from IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta, because of IIM Ahmedabad’s clause of taking the top 50 candidates, and IIM Calcutta’s extraordinary weightage to the CAT percentile for shortlisting. Other necessary conditions include

  • Students must have a bachelor’s degree with a minimum of 50% marks in aggregate or equivalent CGPA. 
  • The bachelor's degree must entail a minimum of three years of education along with 10+2 or equivalent.
  • The conversion of marks or CGPA will be followed as per the norms of the university/institute from which the student has graduated. 

Apart from this, your 10th and 12th scores, work experience, and gender diversity are also taken into consideration.

Can I change branch preference after first counselling at Thapar University?

SD
Shinjan Das Posted On : February 19th, 2024
B.E. in ECE from Thapar University

You need to wait for the spot round (in-person counseling) at Thapar University for that. You can’t change your branch preference in the first 4 rounds (which are all online rounds). But during the spot round, you’ll get a fresh paper to fill in your desired branches in the order of your preference. This is when you can reconsider your choices. If during the online counseling rounds you feel satisfied with the branch you are getting, you can freeze your seat. This won’t hamper your chances in the spot round, but it will provide you with a backup in case your desired branch(es) runs out of vacant seats by then.

How good is the MSIT program offered at JNTUH?

JP
Jiten Pradhan Posted On : April 5th, 2023
Studied at Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (2020)

 If you are considering pursuing a Master of Science in Information Technology (MSIT) program offered by JNTUH, you may want to explore some other options before making a decision. Here are some reasons why:

  • Startup Opportunities: Instead of investing your time and money in the MSIT program, you can explore startup opportunities. You can work on a business idea, start a company, or join a startup to gain hands-on experience and learn valuable skills.
  • Learning Technologies: You can also focus on learning technologies that are in high demand in the industry. There are various online courses and certification programs available that can help you acquire new skills and improve your knowledge in the field of information technology.
  • Reputation of the Program: The MSIT program offered by JNTUH may not have a good reputation in the industry. Employers may not value the degree as much as they value degrees from other reputed institutions. This may make it difficult for you to find a job or advance in your career.
  • Duration of the Program: The MSIT program is a two-year program, and you may not want to invest two years in a program that may not provide you with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in your career.
  • Cost of the Program: Pursuing the MSIT program can be expensive, and you may not want to spend a lot of money on a program that may not be worth it in the end.

While it is important to have a degree to advance in your career, it is equally important to make sure that the degree is from a reputable institution and provides you with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in your field. Therefore, before investing your time and money in the MSIT program offered by JNTUH, you may want to explore other options and evaluate the program's reputation, duration, and cost.

Is it worth spending around 12 lakhs for BALLB in Nirma University?

AB
Akansha Bajaj Posted On : May 15th, 2021
Studied B.A. in L.L.B. from Nirma University, graduated in 2020

The answer depends on you entirely. You can give Nirma University a slip if you are getting offers from NLUs. But if you are not getting the top NLUs, Nirma University is one of the best private universities out there.

Nirma University promises to give the students better placements than some of the lower-tier NLUs. Nirma University is high on discipline and most of its students dislike this about the university.

What you should remember is that there is not much difference between how much you will pay if you end up studying in an NLU, and how much you will pay if you study at Nirma University in five years. 

Nirma University is not as popular in the area of law as the top-tier NLUs even though it is pretty popular if we consider private institutes. If you have the skills and knowledge appropriate for placement, you will be placed at Nirma University. But getting good placements depends a lot on how much effort you put in. 

If you work hard, 12 lakhs will definitely be worth it.
