What facilities are provided in the 1st year hostels at NIT Calicut NITC? Do each student get a table and lockable cupboard?
My brother was a student at NIT Calicut so I have information on the boy's hostel only. The first-year students are allocated to 2 hostels namely Hostel A and Hostel PG-1.
Hostel A
- Triple Occupancy rooms.
- Each room has one table and cupboards with locks per person.
Hostel PG-1
- Very small rooms for 2 people.
- The room has a single table only with no specific cupboards.
Hostel A seems to have better facilities than PG-. So if you get the second one, be ready to compromise on many things with your roommate.
Common facilities in both hostels
Here are a few common amenities that can be found in both the boys' hostel
- A mess that serves food only to the first-year students. The food served here is average with more veg and less non-veg options.
- Well-maintained and clean bathrooms and toilets.
- The hostel rooms are lit adequately and have proper ventilation.
- There is a smooth electricity supply with rarely any issues.
- The hostel has no internet access.
Overall, the hostel facilities at NIT Calicut are like any other institute, average and tolerable.
What is the placement scene at IIIT Hyderabad for the B.Tech in ECE course?
The B.Tech ECE placements at IIIT Hyderabad are decent. Few top semiconductor companies like Nvidia, Broadcom and Synopsys visit the campus with placement offers. Very few students, however, get offers from core companies. Those who are not placed in core companies get offers from Software companies with decent packages. These are the 2022 placement highlights for B.Tech ECE branch at IIIT Hyderabad-

INR 13 LPA |
ECE undergraduates get less salary in comparison to CSE undergraduates. Some reasons for the same are-
- CSE companies do not value experience as much as ECE companies.
- When it comes to ECE, there is a huge gap between academia and industry.
- In India, there are fewer ECE related companies, hence less jobs in the field.
- IIIT Hyderabad ECE branch is not as reputed as the CSE branch over there.
Overall, the average package and placement scenario for B.Tech ECE students from IIIT Hyderabad is quite decent.
Why did you choose KGMU over IMS BHU and AIIMS Rishikesh?
My friend got selected in all the 3 institutes; KGMU, IMS BHU, and AIIMS Rishikesh but chose KGMU as her first preference. She had no personal grudge against AIIMS Rishikesh but there were quite a few reasons why she did not choose IMS BHU
- My friend was from Varanasi and she did not want to be distracted by her family and so to cut off all distractions, she refused to continue her studies there.
- There are many flaws with the institute that go undiscovered y many but being from the same city, she did have an idea.
- She was eager to experience a life beyond her home city and experience different cultures.
However, her decision of choosing one over the other was solely influenced by her personal inclinations. She did not find any major differences except the rural service bond which she was ready to sacrifice. She did not give much thought to AIIMS Rishikesh as it was a new institute at that time although it has grown exponentially over the years so you can give it preference too.
Ultimately, there is no major difference in each of these institutes academically and it is all based on your personal indications.

What is the difference between a regular IGNOU course and a distance IGNOU course?
One of my friends had a very bad experience in IGNOU. She applied for CCP which has 6 months of certification but the university allowed 2 years to complete it.
She wanted to complete the course within 6 months so she appeared on all the exams on time. She had to follow up with her professors for project work daily. After she did submit her project, they lost it. After 5-6 months the Delhi branch called to inform her that her project was not good enough. Apart from this episode, she shared more drawbacks she faced:
-
Out of 8-10 classes only 3 were conducted.
-
They took 6-7 months to inform her that the project wasn’t good.
-
She did not receive any books and had to get them personally by visiting the centre 4-5 times
-
They increased the fees suddenly in the second year
She scored 1st division in CCP but did not get the certificate for the same. So it’s not recommended for you to do PGDCA from IGNOU.
Which is the better college for pursuing mechanical engineering in Tamil Nadu, PSG or NIT - Trichy?
One of my friends studied in the PSG Mechanical branch. In his opinion, both the colleges are well known and quite famous for Mechanical Engineering. Let me state some facts about them which might help you decide.

Is AIIMS Rishikesh better than Andhra Medical College?
Every medical college has its own strengths and weaknesses and comparing them as a whole is very illogical. Government colleges in general give an edge to state colleges because of the plethora of benefits they offer. A few such pros of government colleges in general and AIIMS Rishikesh, in particular, have been listed below
- AIIMS has very low fees around INR 5856 for the entire course. This includes hostel fees but not mess charges.
- The college provides top-notch education, experience, and opportunities like no other and the hostel facilities are also great.
- The teacher: student ratio is ideal and every student gets individual attention thus better growth.
- AIIMS follow MCQ patterns for their semester and final exams, unlike other medical colleges that follow subjective questions pattern. This unique pattern prepares students for NEET PG and USMLE.
- AIIMS is probably the only college in India offering MCH orthopaedics
However, one of the major drawbacks of government institutes is the lack of PG quota otherwise present in State medical colleges.
