The Global Academy of technology offers good facilities, some brilliant professors, and a decent overall curriculum.

The table below gives a brief overview of the institute:

Total Fees (B.Tech)

2.35 Lakhs

COMEDK UGET, KCET

Median Salary offered

Key highlights:

  • Some professors of the Global Academy of Technology are very supportive. They help in project related queries and motivate students in career-related development.
  • There had been some problems in the management some years back, which led to the resignation of the Principal, HOD, and a few professors. A lot of people have complaints about AFAIK trustees as they didn’t promote student welfare as they should have been.
  • There are good quality labs, with all necessary equipment present in the Global Academy of Technology. Facilities in technology are provided by the college as expected.

Overall, the Global Academy of Technology is a decent institute for engineering studies, though not as good as IITs, but with good facilities and faculty. Most of the time, you need to learn things on your own and work hard to make a decent career. The course fee at the institute is also quite steep.

How is life at Ranchi University?

RM
Ritika Mitra Posted On : October 13th, 2021
M.A. Journalism and Mass Communications, Ranchi University

I have a friend who is pursuing her MBA from Ranchi University. She is not happy with the facilities offered at the institute. This university doesn't provide modern facilities and students don't get much exposure while studying in this university. 

The faculty of this college is not good. Often the syllabus remains unfinished. The management and the staff of this university are not cooperative. In this university, the results of a semester are sometimes declared so late that the classes of the next semester have already begun. 

The placement scenario of this university is also very poor as very few companies visit the campus for interviews and recruit only a few students whereas most of the students remain unplaced and have to look for job opportunities off-campus. In the recent placement drive, the highest CTC offered was 3 LPA.

Is CSVTU good for CS?

KS
Khushi Sharma Posted On : September 23rd, 2021
B.E. from Chhattisgarh Swami Vivekanand Technical University (2017)

The first thing you need to know regarding your question is that the performance of the colleges depends on how much hard work you put in to learn certain things. However, after doing some research online, I got to know some things about it.

  • Firstly, if you consider following a good curriculum, it is recommended that you opt for CS outside of Chattisgarh.
  • But if you really want to pursue engineering at CSVTU, you should only attend better colleges like BIT, Shankara (Bhilai), and Rungta (Bhilai).
  • The major thing is your performance in academics and not the college. 
  • Your progress depends on your hard work.
  • You can go through internet resources, self-study, some standard books like Complete References, TMH, O’Reilly, and so on. These are useful sources. 

Basically, if your college provides good placements, it is good; if you are good at computers and your college does not provide good campus placements, you must struggle and find off-campus employment.

And if you are good at computers and attend a college that has good campus placements, you can jump-start your career with little effort. The idea is to get a job as soon as you finish your 7th semester.

How did Mr. Abhinandan become one of the best coders from Allahabad? What is he like in real life?

ST
Sanjana Tripathi Posted On : November 28th, 2023
Lives in Allahabad

Here is some information about Abhinandan, one of the best coders from our college. I was told all this by one of his friends. 

Abhinandan Agarwal did not become the best over time, rather he was born like that. He was a child prodigy and wrote his first code at merely eight years of age in the language Brainfuck. He wrote it to multiply two numbers. At the time, his homework contained multiplication questions. He had to multiply large numbers, and thought it was too mainstream to complete this task manually.

He is a down to earth, humble and modest individual. He is a helpful and loyal friend. His mannerisms and behavior makes him very likable, just like a guy next door. He has good management skills, and is a very hardworking and dedicated person. 

I hope he achieves a lot more in his career, and brings honor to MNNIT Allahabad.

Why do CUSAT and some private colleges in Kerala rank higher than the more difficult to get in colleges- like CET and GEC-Thrissur ?

AR
Arnav Roy Posted On : August 7th, 2023
Lives in Kolkata, West Bengal, India

It’s true that getting admission to CUSAT is easier than colleges like CET and GEC Thrissur. It has provisions for NRI seats and also conducts many spot admissions. The campus is not very disciplined and the increasing cutoffs have resulted in a huge intake recently. The quality of education has been compromised as a result. I think the reason it’s still highly ranked is that these rankings are flawed and manipulated. It’s better not to refer to these rankings while choosing a college. 

Personally, I will suggest you choose colleges based on the following preference order

NIT Calicut>CET TRIVANDRUM>GEC THRISSUR>Government Engineering College Kottayam(RIT)>CUSAT>Model Engineering College

As you can see, CUSAT comes much later in the preference list so go for it only if it’s the last option.

What is the scope of a 5-year integrated Economics course from IIT Kharagpur?

AS
Atul Sharma Posted On : March 24th, 2023
Works at Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IIT KGP)

The integrated economics Course from IIT Kharagpur has a wide scope. This course comes under the umbrella of the humanities and social science department. Some of the many prospects offered by this course are 

  1. Higher studies: A student who is inclined towards higher studies can opt for Masters in Economics from any prestigious college in India and abroad and can even get a PhD degree provided that he has sufficient knowledge of economics, a stable GPA and some excellent publications.
  2. Government jobs: The scope of the score spreads to the government sector as well with jobs like RBI, Indian economic service or civil services that help you serve your country. The best part about these jobs is that you can also apply for study leave and pursue higher studies on official holidays.
  3. Software developer: Unlike the general misconception that only CS, E,C, EE students can become software developers, this course too can help you become one. While it is true that the top companies like Google and Microsoft won’t let you sit for placements, you can become a software developer for average banks. Later, you can target technical giants that don’t judge employees on the basis of the branch.
  4. MBA: This is a very common combination. Many economic students target IIMs or other business schools to pursue MBA. Moreover, with a non-engineering background, you can always have an upper hand in B-school admissions.
  5. Data Analyst/Scientist: This is the most common job profile of IIT Kharagpur students who have done an economics majors. Moreover, with the increased demand for AI and machine learning, this has become one of the most appealing fields today.
  6. Finance: The integrated economy course at IIT Kharagpur has many subjects related to finance and mathematics. This makes the student suitable for finance roles and you are likely to become a quantitative analyst.
  7. Consulting/operations: Consulting and Operation roles are available to random students, irrespective of their branch.

The best part about the economics degree is that you have a lot of free time at your hand and can explore other fields, unlike engineering students who are always busy with their coursework. Moreover, if you’re not sure about any particular branch, then Economics can definitely be a good choice.

How good is PGPBM course (provided by IIM Trichy) at Chennai Center?

AJ
Azhar Jafri Posted On : January 12th, 2023
studied PGDM Marketing at Indian Institute of Management, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India (2017)

The worth of a certain program depends on what you want to achieve after completing it. In case you want to just ameliorate your knowledge and skills, this course is indeed the finest option. But if you are pursuing it to receive a high-paying package, then your approach is wrong. Yes, it will open doors for better job prospects but you cannot directly grab a high-paying job right off the bat.

Some major highlights of this course are as follows

  • The faculty is highly knowledgeable and usually comprises doctorates from top B Schools within India and even globally.
  • The course is rigorous as each subject is taught for 25 hours and requires preparation for 20-25 hours.
  • The pedagogy is premium and involves a blend of case studies, theories encompassing fundamental frameworks, and the latest trends.
  • A regular evaluation ensures complete involvement of the individual
  • You will get the chance to study with a mixed crowd comprising marketing professionals, chartered accountants, plant heads, and entrepreneurs.
  • The crowd diversity in turn enables top-notch peer learning and exposure through experience sharing.
  • Once you complete this program, you will excel in your current job or the interview for your next job.
  • Since the program is approved by banks, you can easily get 100% educational loans.
  • In accordance with the latest IIM Law, you will be granted an MBA Degree and not just a PGDBM Certificate.

Before I end my answer I will ask you to keep 2 points in mind. Firstly, this program is extremely demanding and you should not take it just as a side hustle. It needs complete involvement and determination on your part.

Secondly, no placement opportunities are offered upon completion of this program so you shouldn’t rely on the placement committee.
