How to convert CGPI TO PERCENTAGE ? ( Mumbai University BMS)

AP
Arnav Paul Posted On : April 29th, 2026

Mumbai University uses different formulas depending on which grading system your course uses. for BMS specifically, you're on the CBCS (Choice Based Credit System) 10-point scale:

Formula for BMS/Commerce/Management (CBCS):
% = (7.1 × CGPA) + 11
round up to the next full integer.

example: CGPA 7.5 ? (7.1 × 7.5) + 11 = 53.25 + 11 = 64.25 ? rounds to 65%

for reference, the Engineering faculty (CBGS 10-point scale) uses a different formula:
• CGPI below 7: % = 7.1 × CGPI + 12
• CGPI 7 or above: % = 7.4 × CGPI + 12

two things most people miss:

  • the formula is on the official MU circular — it's not just any online converter. for job applications or higher education, the marksheet itself shows CGPA and you can ask the college for a conversion certificate citing the official circular
  • some older MU courses (pre-2015) used a 7-point scale. if your marksheet shows a 7-point CGPA, first convert to 10-point: (CGPA × 10) ÷ 7, then apply the 10-point formula

Which companies visited NIT Silchar for campus recruitment?

LC
Lipika Chakraborty Posted On : August 31st, 2023
B.tech from National Institute of Technology Silchar (2020)

NIT Silchar has good placement records, especially considering its geographical location. Also, the placements are increasing year on year. As a student of CSE at NIT Silchar, I can inform you about the companies that visit my department for placements. 

The companies that visit NIT Silchar for CSE placements include- Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Samsung, Amazon, DE Shaw & Co, Deloitte, L&T Infotech, Math Works, ITC Limited, Huawei Technologies, Power Grid Corporation of India, Arcesium, Reliance Jio, Razorpay, Infosys, Capgemini, Fanatics, KLA Tencor, SAP, Lowe’s, Optum, and GO-MMT group among others.

The placements at NIT Silchar are good for Mechanical, CSE, ECE, and E&I. For Mechanical, only a handful of PSUs visit the campus, and core placements are low. The figures aren’t good for the Civil and EE branches. 

The campus placements at NIT Silchar are like most other average NITs such as NIT Raipur, NIT Jalandhar, NIT Rourkela, etc. or maybe slightly better with a handful of PSUs visiting the campus.

Should I join IIT BHU for pharmaceuticals or IIT Dhanbad for mining?

AS
Akrit Shaha Posted On : October 12th, 2023
Lives in Dhanbad

I had the same choices in front of me, a few years back. 

I consulted some seniors and decided to opt for IIT BHU Pharma. After a year, I changed my branch. One of my friends who also had these choices decided to go for IIT Dhanbad. Even he changed his branch after a year. I changed my branch and opted for Mechanical. 

I would say both choices are equally good. For CAT/UPSC prep, these two branches are easier and will allow you more time for studies. Even if you want another branch, study hard so you can switch. 

I wouldn’t recommend a drop. Both the IITs are good, and a year of preparation will allow you to switch to another branch. This way you’ll always have something to fall back on. But if you are determined to score higher in the next attempt, you may consider taking a drop. It’s very difficult to remain positive and motivated in a drop year, and the decision is a bit risky. 

Whether to join or drop is your personal decision. But I would recommend you join any of these two courses/colleges.

Given a choice between GIM GLIM FORE and TAPMI for PGDM marketing which one would you pick and why?

HN
Hardik Nagar Posted On : March 9th, 2023
Studied at Post Graduate Diploma in Management

If you're considering pursuing an MBA in Marketing, GIM could be the best option for you. This is because GIM is known for having the best marketing faculty among the options available. The faculty members are highly experienced and knowledgeable, and they provide students with a comprehensive understanding of marketing concepts and practices.

On the other hand, if you're looking for the top-ranked management school among the options provided, GLIM Chennai should be your choice. GLIM Chennai consistently ranks at the top among B-schools in the country, and it has an excellent reputation for providing a world-class education.

Moreover, GLIM Chennai has strong industry linkages and provides students with plenty of opportunities to interact with top recruiters. This is a significant advantage, as it gives students the chance to network with industry leaders and gain valuable insights into the field.

If you're looking to pursue a career in PGDM Marketing, GIM could be the best choice among GLIM, FORE, and TAPMI as it provides excellent training and education in this field. However, if you're looking for a top-ranked institution and want to maximize your chances of getting hired by top recruiters, GLIM Chennai is the way to go.

Ultimately, the decision of which institution to choose depends on your personal goals, preferences, and priorities. Both institutions offer world-class education and exceptional faculty, so it's essential to weigh the pros and cons carefully before making a final decision.

Is IIIT Allahabad good for the course of integrated robotics?

SG
Sarita Gupta Posted On : July 17th, 2021
Studied at IIIT Allahabad (2019)

I would say that it is not suitable for those who wish to pursue a career in research. Also, if you are hoping for good placements in any robotics company you will be disappointed. But first, weigh the benefits and drawbacks.

Pros and Cons:

  • You will complete two degrees in five years. But you do not need two degrees to get a good job; a B.Tech course is far superior in this case.
  • You will have a lot of time to concentrate on the work you want to do.
  • You will have the opportunity to study both B.Tech and M.Tech.
  • Some companies frequently provide more benefits to M.Tech students. But some will not allow you to sit because they do not accept M.Tech students.
  • You will only be paid for a period of ten months. M.Tech students, on the other hand, are paid for 22 months, whereas B.Tech students are paid for the internships they obtain in their final semesters.
  • Because of thesis work, M.Tech students are not permitted to participate in any internships during their final year.
  • To be successful in robotics, you must be skilled in mechanical, electrical, electronics, and software. Fortunately, the faculty here will be able to guide you in these areas.

Now consider the following factors that make it superior to the standard course:

  1. Robotics Faculty: Faculty is really nice here. They are very friendly, cooperative and will guide you in a good direction.
  2. Robotics Lab: Once again, one of the best and most prestigious laboratories is at IIIT-A.
  3. Nowadays, the majority of students are primarily engaged in simulation and algorithmic projects. As an IT institute, the majority of the topics are confined to algorithms and the software component.
  4. On the one hand, B.Tech IT strengthens our coding skills, while M.Tech specialization strengthens our mechanical and electronics sides. That is, a robotics student is a developer, coder, electronics master, and dynamics.
  5. Job Security: You have the same job opportunities as any other IT student and can even apply for a position as a professor in any private college. They will pay you more than private businesses.

This institute is the only one of its kind to offer an IT robotics specialization. That means your coding skills will undoubtedly come in handy. Other colleges place a greater emphasis on mechanical and physical aspects. So, if you're an IT enthusiast who enjoys coding robots, this is the institute for you.

How does MTech mechatronics at IIT Patna compare to the same at NIT Surathkal?

SR
Sushmita Rajput Posted On : July 15th, 2023
Lives in Patna

The Mechatronics branch in itself is not very developed in India irrespective of whichever institute offers it. IIT Patna is a new IIT and lacks the necessary resources and infrastructure while NIT Surathkal has a very challenging curriculum for MTech Mechatronics. The breakdown is 60% Mechanical and 40% Electronics. Students from other domains find it difficult to cope with the rigorous curriculum.

Although the faculty pool comprises good professors, the placement scenario is just average. So try looking for other options or go for IIT Patna instead.

Which is better, SRM, Manipal, DTU, or NSIT?

KG
Kritika Guha Posted On : August 23rd, 2022
SRM Institute of Science and Technology

DTU and NSIT are the best options among these, with great placement records and academics. These are counted among the top-tier technological institutes in the country. The type of exposure you will get at these institutes will not only help in performing well in academics but also help develop confidence. DTU placements 2022 shows the average CTC to be around INR 15.31 LPA. According to NSIT placement highlights of recent years, the median CTC offered is around INR 13 LPA. 

SRM, and Manipal don’t belong to the same tier as DTU and NSIT.

Which institute is better for M.Sc. Physics IIT Kanpur or IIT Madras?

RP
Raveesha Pandey Posted On : July 30th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras
Both IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras are excellent institutes for M.Sc in Physics, considering the student is actually interested in learning the subject to the core.
The points below give a brief overview of IIT Madras, stating some of the advantages of choosing it over IIT Kanpur.
? Professors will help you to get involved in challenging projects during your course, with specializations in complex topics like cosmology, etc.
? The main motto of the faculties of IIT Madras is to build their students to at least a certain limit of knowledge, over anything else.
? Most of the professors have a solid foundation in advanced concepts of theoretical physics, for example, Prof. M V Satyanarayana, Prof. M Pattabiraman, Prof. V Balakrishnan, Prof. A Lakshminarayan, etc.
? Although the level of questions set during the exams at IIT Madras is always up to the mark, almost no students fail in the institute due to the teaching facilities offered throughout the year.
? Talking about the campus of IIT Madras, it is extremely beautiful, being close to the sea as well.
Therefore, although both the institutes are equally excellent, IIT Madras can be a better option for students interested in Physics, considering the points listed above.

What percentage of civil engineering students at IIT Madras end up taking core civil engineering jobs?

DB
Davdut Banerjee Posted On : July 20th, 2021
IIT Madras (2019)

The exact percentage is difficult to tell because the data is available only with the Training and Placement Cell of IIT Madras. The biggest problem with Civil Engineering is that you will not get any immediate opportunities in the same stream. So many of the students who need a job immediately with a good pay package usually shift to other streams.

It is not the case that people are not interested in pursuing core civil engineering jobs. But they want to study what can give them jobs immediately. Unfortunately, this is difficult in core civil engineering jobs. These jobs demand higher degrees which the undergraduate students lack and thus are not considered.
