How can anyone get a CGPA of 9.6+ after the first year in Thapar University?

TS
Tania Sharma Posted On : August 8th, 2023
Studied at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology

To get a 9.6+ CGPA in your first year at Thapar University, follow these tips with diligence-

  1. Learn about CLO’s - Course Learning Objectives for each subject.
  2. Sit in the front rows and listen to the lectures attentively.
  3. Pay ample attention to the theoretical part of your course.
  4. Solve all the tutorial sheets on your own. Seeking help is acceptable but do not copy.
  5. Go through the previous year question papers and solve those questions.
  6. Set a target for 75% in each exam. This will help you achieve your goal.
  7. Always sleep well the night before the exam. Do not forget to take your calculator, Id card and stationery to the exam hall. 

I would also like to break down the entire marking scheme for you. At Thapar University, there are around 47 credit points for all the subjects of 1st year. Therefore, you must secure 452 credit points by the end of your first year (47*9.6). Make sure to not get below A- in any subject. 

As far as A grades are concerned, you will get an A grade for 29/47+ credit points. Credit per subject ranges from 2.5 to 5, mark the top 7 subjects in which your aggregate credits will make up more than 29. Approach your teachers and ask them how many marks would you need to score an A in their subject. If they do not give you a clear answer, ask them about the situation in the previous year. This way you will get a better picture of how much you need to score.

Getting a 9.5+ CGPA in your first year at Thapar is a bit difficult but not impossible. For this, you will have to stay in the list of top 90-100 students in your batch.

How is NMIMS Bangalore for Executive MBA?

AD
Anuraag Das Posted On : May 8th, 2023
Studied at MBA from NMIMS (2020)

The executive MBA programme at NMIMS Bangalore is not that good as it is in Tier 1 universities/institutes. Generally when one decides to pursue an executive MBA, he/she will already have three to four years of work experience. 

NMIMS Bangalore won't give you the kind of advancement you would want after earning your degree. You should either apply for an executive MBA at IIM A, B, C, or L, or you should enroll in ISB Hyderabad, a 1-year programme. 

Without a doubt, NMIMS Bangalore will be good in terms of learning and experience, however the 2 year MBA programme weighs more heavily than the executive MBA in terms of placements.

What is average package for an EE at NIT Jalandhar, and what is the highest?

SG
Sukrit Gupta Posted On : December 3rd, 2022
Studied at B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Institute of Technology, Jalandhar (NITJ) (Graduated 2022)

The placement percentage of Electrical Engineers at NIT Jalandhar this year (2022) was 69.23%.

The average Package of EE (2018-2022) Batch (till date) is 11.95 LPA. This package was for the FTE offer for GET(Graduate Engineer Trainee) Role.

The highest Package secured by one of my classmates was INR 9.2 LPA in FuturesFirst (Trading). Some were selected by Deloitte USI offering 6.2 LPA (Consulting) followed by Saint Gobain offering 6 (Shift Engineer+marketing) and many more.

Basically, almost everyone from EE was able to get placed at good firms with good packages. In Fact, some big companies like Samsung, HSBC, Texas Instruments, and Oracle visited for students with software profiles but one of us had actually developed proficiency in it.

If you are really interested in the subject go for it. Don’t worry about placements. For the best placements join the circuital branch ( CSE, ECE, IT, EE, ICE)

What is BJB College like for a B.Com?

RA
Ritesh Agarwal Posted On : April 13th, 2021
Studied Commerce at Buxi Jagabandhu Bidyadhar College, Bhubaneshwar

One of my friends will be graduated from this institute in April, and thus, I can share his experience.

If you are confused after completing 12th standard board exam and cannot decide where to take admission, then BJB might be the right choice. 

Faculty

  • Professors are knowledgeable enough, and most of them have student-friendly attitudes.
  • Most of the teachers here are old, so they really do not care if they leave their classes; thus, strictness is completely nil in this institute.
  • HOD from the Commerce Department is very serious and a little strict for his students.

Attendance

  • My friend only did regular classes in the first semester, and after that, he can count how many classes he had done in both hands.
  • Teachers are experienced enough, but they are slow, and most of them call out the notes from the books.
  • Attendance is not a big issue for BJB students, and for that reason, the number of students gradually decreases from the first semester onwards.

College atmosphere and the seniors

  • Seniors are really friendly, but the juniors’ students should make friends with them.
  • Campus life is enjoyable, with not strictness for attendance; hence, the student can make good memories.

Besides, some other things are listed below:

  • Cut-off marks for BJB entrance are high, so the student needs to de serious about their board exams first.
  • Exam schedules are sometimes uncertain and normally proclaim 2-3 weeks earlier to the exam.
  • Ragging is very rare in this institute.
  • Getting scored is not so difficult here, and students can easily score 85-88% because BJB is quite liberal than the Utkal University. But the students have to write a lot in the exam paper, which is the only trick to score a lot.
  • This college does not provide any good job opportunities and internships also.
  • There are no fests or any extra facilities in this institute.

If you love to lead irregular and unsystematic college life and wants to make other preparation, you can choose BJB. This institute has its identity to the entire state, and it has the best grades for studying Commerce.

If you have to choose between colleges in BBSR and will get a seat in this institute, it will certainly be an excellent opportunity for you. You have to study on your own, which is actually needed to earn a good score.

Will doing a double MBA from XLRI or ISB help me after an MBA degree from IIM Shillong?

AB
Anindita Basu Posted On : July 30th, 2022
MBA from Indian School of Business

Doing another MBA from XLRI or ISB, won’t upskill your profile to a huge extent. Unless you are looking for a different specialization, it will be better to invest your money and effort in getting relevant certification and training. Harvard Business School offers various programs for marketing executives, you can check some of these programs. 

Also, try to build a network and find mentors who can help you polish your skills.

What should I choose between IIM Kozhikode, IIM Indore and NITIE Mumbai?

PB
Pritpal Singh Bhari Posted On : November 29th, 2022
Studied Marketing at Indian Institute of Management, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India (Graduated 2020)

If you want to pursue a career in operations, NITIE is superior to both IIM K and IIM Indore. Any other specialization is followed by IIM K, IIM I, and NITIE.

NITIE is the best college in India for operations management, but IIMs are unrivaled in terms of culture and rigor.

IIM K is superior to IIM I for two reasons:

  • IIM Indore has a large batch size.

  • IIM I has a lower level of diversity due to a lower number of work-ex people.

How is internet speed in IIT Madras?

SJ
Shruti Jaiswal Posted On : July 23rd, 2021
CSE at IIT Madras (2020)

One of my cousins attends IIT Madras and according to him, the internet speed at the institute is usually good but he also experienced difficulties at times.

  • Sometimes, the internet is quite good. He has experienced downloading things at a speed of about 10 Mbps. But, he says that this incident can occur only seldom and might not be the same every time you are using it.
  • Sometimes, his experience went downhill. If there were any technical issues regarding the wi-fi, then it could possibly take quite a few days to finally get resolved. At times like this, he experienced the internet speed to be around 20 Kbps to 50 Kbps.

However, there is provisions of an otherwise data-sharing platform to share anything among users inside the campus. Now, it provides decent to good internet speed, depending clearly upon who is sharing at what kind of speed. Mainly, it is LAN-based.

Should I do an MBA or go for construction management from NICMAR?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : May 31st, 2023
lives in New Delhi

First comes the course, Advance Construction Management (ACM), and any other MBA courses.

The finest option for any civil engineer, in my opinion, is ACM.

NICMAR or any other college, second part. The primary three or four criteria for selecting one college over another are as follows:

  • Education
  • Placement 
  • Fees
  • Other facilities like hostel, food, etc

You can judge NICMAR or any other college based on the aforementioned criteria. Here are some NICMAR facts that can aid you in choosing wisely:

  1. Education (faculty) standard - This differs from the past as many excellent professors have gone and launched their own certification programs.
  2. Placement: You shouldn't worry, as the average package always relies on the condition of the market. The campus is visited by both domestic and foreign (Middle Eastern) firms.
  3. Fees - Approximately (Rs 12.5 Lacs) higher than average.
  4. Other amenities are good—you might even say better.

Finally, let me mention that you should compare these points to any other colleges you are considering before making a decision.
