Does Nit Rourkela placement cell allow civil engineering students to sit for computer science engineering placement?
It is not that NIT Rourkela placement cell does not allow Civil Engineering students to sit for CSE placements. The thing is that most software companies that visit the campuses with SDE roles do not allow other branches to sit for their placements. I assume by CSE placements you are referring to IT companies.
Certain top companies like Microsoft, Google, Goldman Sachs and Mathworks allow students from all the branches to sit for their placements. But for most software companies, branch is one of the criteria to filter out those students who can apply. Also, they mostly prefer students from CSE and circuital branches like EI, EC and EE.
The reason being that students from these branches work with codes more often and are well-versed in programming languages. The same is imperative for working in IT companies. However, it is also true that many students in other branches love to code and wish to work in these IT firms.
NIT Rourkela has no control over the criteria set by various IT companies and you will have to check the same before planning to sit for the placement of any IT firm.
If anyone failed in the MAKAUT practical exam, is it considered to year lag?
MAKAUT practical exams depend on a variety of factors ranging from your lab attendance to your viva. Many MAKAUT colleges give practical marks based on how frequently you attended the lab sessions. Your lab file check-in on time might also be considered at times.
Another major criterion in your MAKAUT practical exams is your viva as it directly affects your grades. The average practical exam score is 7-8 but with a better viva, you can increase your score up to 9-10.
Short attendance may result in failure of practical exams which in turn becomes a year lag. So, don't underestimate the importance of MAKAUT practical exams.

What is the benefit of doing executive programme in business management from IIM Calcutta with 5 years work experience as manager accounts in a manufacturing industry?
If you are working in a company with great turnover and managing a leadership role, this programme is of little benefit to you. But if you want to open your own start-up and are willing to learn the know-how of business management and leadership skills this course welcomes you. Some major benefits of the course are:
-
Many companies sponsor for you and are willing to take you back after the course
-
This programme should be undertaken with long term benefits in mind. You should be confident that broadening your horizons will definitely pay you back one day later or sooner.
-
For people who are always willing to learn more and more it’s the perfect course. It’s a tightly packed one year programme
But every coin has two sides. As much as this course is beneficial in the long run it has its own drawbacks. Some drawbacks you should definitely know are:
-
People who have lost their touch in academics will not be able to cope with the tight scheduled course
-
The placement opportunities are rare around 10-20% of the entire batch
-
People who are low on budget tend to take educational loans which are not worth this course.
So this course has its benefits but they are long term and one needs patience to uncover them.
Which is better among TISS HRM, and JBIMS MMS?
TISS offers one of the best HRM programs, rivaling that of XLRI HR, and has produced highly competent individuals in this field. If you have a strong passion for HR and are confident in your choice, TISS would be an excellent choice for you to pursue this specialization.
On the other hand, if you are uncertain about your career path, it may be advantageous to keep your options open. In this scenario, it would be best to choose a college that allows you to decide on your stream later, rather than committing to a specific specialization immediately. This approach has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it ultimately comes down to personal preference and what best suits your individual needs and goals.
Regardless of your choice, both TISS and JBIMS have top-notch individuals in all areas of management, so you can be assured that you will receive a high-quality education and have the opportunity to be mentored by skilled professionals.

Soon, I am going to join IIT Gandhinagar. Is it true that there is a lot of ragging in IIT?
My friend studies in IIT Gandhinagar and it is a general rule that IITians have to face some amount of ragging however, this could be true or false because he did not face any. There has not been even the mildest instance of ragging there, to date. It's good if you do not like the experience of it, but for some, it is part of the freshmen days and they cherish the bonding which develops during such events with the seniors.
- Seniors at IIT are not cruel and do not impart it like a punishment. They have been through similar experiences and know how to work with freshers to turn them into their closest friends by the end of the academic session.
- The student body can be approached if you feel offended in any manner, and they are quite helpful.
- For my friend though, ragging was part of a social exercise which he cherishes.
You can also communicate your concerns with the seniors beforehand, I'd say you're fortunate to be part of IIT GN and the seniors are one of the best guides during that time for almost everything.
Thapar University(Patiala): What should I do if I am not liking my college life?
If you are not liking your college life currently, there are a few options you can explore. These could include any of the following:
- Look out for research options. See what your faculty is working on. This may get you interested in something.
- Summer internships are also quite popular at universities abroad. Choose a subject you like and do a semester abroad if you are interested in that.
- If you want to enjoy your college life, you will have to break the ice with members of different clubs. Nox is a good dance club you can think of joining.
- Get in touch with your seniors and super seniors and see what they did during their time as a student. Maybe that should help.
- If you are not that interested in studying, you should consider that option only if you want to do something completely different from engineering.
You should find your calling and pursue it. This will help you truly enjoy your college life and you will not regret your decision.
