KSOU is known to make a good effort in providing proper education to the students unable to join a regular program. But the quality of education provided by them will differ from any regular program. 

The student-teacher interaction is hampered along with the peer-to-peer relationship. Communicating directly with the teacher and students is much better than online lectures. This might be one of the reasons why distance education has very low credibility for job prospects. 

But for the students who are unable to join a regular course due to other priorities like a job or other responsibilities, attending online programs gives them an opportunity to learn about the subject.
Karnataka State Open University will provide study materials and their online lectures will be of great help.

Here are some tips to score a better CGPA at MNNIT Allahabad-

1. Try scoring well in your internal assessment. It is not that difficult. For this, you’ll have to create a good impression in front of your teachers. Answer their questions during tutorial classes, maintain a good attendance record, and complete your tutorial file on time. This is enough to fetch you good marks in the internals.
2. Prepare well for your practical exams and vivas. 2-3 questions will define your viva scores, so give your vivas well prepared.
3. Solve previous year questions. This will give you an idea of the exam pattern.
4. Make proper notes during lectures so that you have something to revise from during exam season. Making a note of the teachers’ explanation will help you score well during exams.
5. Solve all the questions from the tutorial sheets for a good preparation of end sem exams. Tutorial sheets are very important.
6. Use standard books recommended by your teachers. During exams, the questions are very similar (and sometimes, even the same) to those given in these books.
7. Use the library facility wisely, and search for some good notes related to your subjects over there.
8. Divide your time based on the credits carried by each subject. Give more time and focus to the subject that carries more credits.

Your hardwork will pay off, and these tips will help you score well during your B.Tech at MNNIT Allahabad. 

The first and foremost step is to determine the right branch for yourself. If you want to pursue a research internship some of the common options are 

• Psychiatry 
• Neuro-bioinformatics
• Neurotoxicology
• Neuro-microbiology
• Psycho-physics
• Neuro-virology 

Once you have decided on the branch, contact the concerned professor and express your interest in working with him via email. If the professor agrees, there might be some additional formalities depending on if you are a student or not. As far as I know, you don’t require a recommendation letter. Seek help from the professor or the seniors regarding other formalities. The Academic sections in NIMHANS take care of all the formalities. You might have to pay some fees for doing the internship if you are not a student.

Hope this helps you!
