Is Allahabad University safe?

AN
Anshika Nandan Posted On : September 22nd, 2021
M.A Geography, University of Allahabad (2020)

Yes, Allahabad University is a safe place for students who have taken admissions for the sole purpose of studying.

Although there are politics, groupings, and leadership roles that influence the environment, it would not affect you or harm you in any way if you are not involved in it. Try to stay away from politics and student elections and you would be far from being unsafe or in trouble. Make sure to utilize your resources to the best of your advantage and keep yourself away from the disputes that take place there.

Every college has certain rules and so does Allahabad University. Follow these rules while you are in college. Also, remember that the kind of company you keep influences the environment around you. So, choose your peers wisely.

Is BIT Mesra better than IEM, kolkata?

KM
Koyel Majumdar Posted On : April 20th, 2021
studied at Birla Institute of Technology (2019).

One of my friends was enrolled in this institute. She chose to study Chemical at BIT Mesra over ECE at IEM.

Through her 4 years of the course, she concluded BIT being better in nearly every aspect from academics, placements, extracurriculars, infrastructure, sports and ends finally at the reputation of the overall institute. Thus, it sums up your choice.

Categories

Recruiting Companies

ACC Limited, Adhunik, Airtel, Blue Star, etc.

TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Capgemini, Cognizant, IBM, NRI Fintech, Oracle, etc.

The only upper hand that IEM enjoys is the scores of CGPA a student obtains. That means, acquiring the best CGPA at IEM is quite a lot easier than what is at BIT. The second point of difference between the two of them is that IEM, when considered its location, is situated in Salt Lake, Kolkata, and is much better developed than Mesra, which in total is 16 KMs from Ranchi. These are the only points of difference as known.

Students aren't allowed to keep mobile phones in college. However, there are two landline phones at the hostel.

  • You can only call one number which you have previously given in the joining.
  • In college, you will not be able to keep your mobile phone with you. They will hold your phone for a week and fine you Rs 2000.
  • Also, you will be suspended for one week. Your phone will be returned to you after that.
  • The second time, you will be warned about your behavior.
  • The third time, you will be dismissed from the hostel.
