After IIM Calcutta was started next IIM should have been started in Bombay which is Commercial capital of India but why it has been started in Ahmedabad?

HR
Hina Rastogi Posted On : December 1st, 2022
Studied at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

The first two IIMs were supposed to be in Mumbai and Calcutta. While the land and approvals for Calcutta came relatively easily, the then-Mumbai state government refused to allot land for an IIM in Mumbai and acted rather casually.

Meanwhile, Vikram Sarabhai, the driving force behind the IIMs concept, was eager to get the IIMs up and running as soon as possible. He was well known for his extensive business and political connections, but his entire industrial and research infrastructure was in Ahmedabad (in the then-newly created state of Gujarat).

Vikram Sarabhai was so eager to get the IIM started in western India (one in the east and one in the west was the initial logic, which was followed by one in the south and one in the north as well) that he pulled all the strings for an IIM in Ahmedabad. For the first few years, IIMA was based in Vikram Sarabhai's personal bungalow in Ahmedabad's Shahi Baug area.

He was also the driving force behind the recruitment of other IIMA legends, including Louis Kahn for the architectural plan, Kastoorbhai Lalbhai of Arvind Mills for the donation of all land for the campus, and the mesmerizing Ravi J. Matthai, the institute's first full-time director.

AS
Anmol Soni Posted On : February 16th, 2021
B.Tech from Chandigarh Engineering College (2018)

Yes, you can withdraw your fees after one month of joining but there are a few terms and conditions. A friend of mine did withdraw his fees and noticed that the terms are slightly different as per offline and online transactions-

In case of Offline Fee Payment -

  • You will be provided with a full fee after the authorities have deducted Rs. 1000 as processing fee. It will be implied only if you withdraw your fee after admissions. 
  • You will not get a refund if you wish to withdraw after the classes have begun. 
  • You will receive a refund of your hostel fees after a month from the month of withdrawal. If you leave the hostel without completing the year then security deposit will not be refunded.
  • A friend of mine made the request to withdraw his fee and his refund was made on his prescribed application form by the admission/registrar office. Along with the fee refund application, you will also be required to submit the ID card, Original Fee Receipt & Due Clearance Certificate.
  • Refunds will then be processed by the Finance Office of the University after they receive approval from the Director and will be returned to you by cross cheque in your name after 90 days from the date of receipt.
  • All disputes about this issue shall fall within the jurisdiction of Mohali, Punjab for CGC, Landran. You can consider the registrar of the concerning institute to be the legal person for all such matters.

If any technical issue is found in online fee payment -

The office can be contacted if following situations occur:

  • during the online payment through credit/debit card, your payment gets debited and the internet goes down due to some external server malfunction or any other similar happening. 
  • your system is not able to generate the required acknowledgement given to weak internet connection.
  • the payment gets deducted from your account and does not reach the institute’s account or if your payment gets debited twice due to internet issues.

Here is an overview of the amount that can be refunded if your conditions apply: 

Total Fee 

47,000

Processing fees to be deducted 

1000

Total amount to be refunded

46,000

Hostel fees (4 seater)

85,000

Hostel fees to be refunded

30 days from previous refund

Total number of days for final refund

90 days from the date in the receipt 

The college states that they shall not be responsible in any case until the course fee paid by a student is credited to the Bank Account of the College. If credited, the refund policy will be applied as per the College’s guidelines.

What is the placement scenario at the Nirma University for electrical engineers? Should I prefer it over SRM computer science?

OK
Oli Kundu Posted On : May 15th, 2021
Nirma University

Electrical and Computer science is very different from each other and they have very few things similar to each other. 

  • In electrical engineering, the course module includes a lot of physics and classical and applied maths, but in computer science, the course module includes discrete and applied maths and there is no part of physics. 
  • In electrical engineering, there are a lot of theoretical studies of maths and physics but in computer science, there are mostly logical studies and coding. Although at the advanced level, these two branches do marge a bit, they are completely different for beginners. 

Here’s a brief overview of the two courses mentioned in the question. 

Parameters 

EE at Nirma University 

CS at SRM

Average CTC

6 LPA

6-8 LPA

Highest CTC

8 LPA

28 LPA


So, you should choose the branch according to your skills and knowledge, rather than choosing a branch, based only on placements. Otherwise, you may have to opt for branch change after 1st year.

Why are good institutes like IIIT-Hyderabad, IIIT-Allahabad, BITS-Pilani, NSIT and DTU missing in MHRD Rankings for best engineering institutes?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 2nd, 2023
lives in New Delhi

The first-ever ranking of higher education institutions in India namely the Engineering, Management, Pharmacy, and Universities was released on the 4th of April 2016, by the MHRD. Many claimed that the report was misleading as they did not conduct thorough research before ranking the institutes. 

Firstly, only 233 out of 720 universities participated and it's highly possible that some of the major colleges did not participate in the survey. So to get an exact picture, 100% participation is a must. One of my friends told me that his institute was a tier-3 institute with pathetic teaching faculty and placements and yet was ranked under 70. This alone is enough to point out that fallacy in the rankings. He also told me that most of the duvet conducted was done with false credentials, therefore, discrediting the rankings.
The worst part of these MHRD rankings is that the accuracy and authenticity are in the hands of the institute which can be easily manipulated. Overall I believe that The National Institutional Ranking Framework is a good idea, but poorly executed because the rankings are done on the basis of incomplete data and are often manipulated. Unfortunately, many students fall trapped in these inflated rankings and end up h choosing the wrong institute.
