How does a typical day in VIT Pune pass by?

PS
Pulkit Singhal Posted On : October 17th, 2023
BE E&TC from Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology, Pune (2017)

I can enlighten you about the schedule of first shift students at VIT Pune.

Morning classes start at 8am. Those who aren’t lucky enough to have a vehicle of their own, reach the campus by climbing the famous VIT slope. Walking to the college becomes especially tough during the rainy season as one has to walk in the opposite direction to pouring rain.

Some professors are very particular about time, and close the doors at sharp 8 am. After 2-3 lectures of an hour each, one gets an hour-long break. During this time, one eats at either of the two canteens or Poona Bakery. The break is followed by more lecture/lab sessions. After this, either one is free, or some more lectures commence after another break. 

Not all days are the same. Sometimes one gets free after 3 hours, while other times, classes and labs may even stretch to 8 hours. One usually gets free by 3pm. Saturday is a holiday for SE, TE and BE. Freshers have to attend general proficiency courses for 2 hours on Saturdays. GP includes Photography, Chess, Guitar, Violin, Yoga, Aerobics and other interesting hobbies. No leaves are awarded before exams, but the syllabus is quite manageable. 

This is the basic routine of first shift B.Tech students at VIT Pune. You’ll face a fair share of challenges, but in the end, you’ll be left with everlasting memories.

Can I get mechanical engineering at VSSUT Burla with an AIR of 1.19 lakh in the JEE Mains (I am from general category)?

AB

No, unfortunately, it’s not possible to get a seat in Mechanical Engineering at VSSUT with such a low rank. Usually, the cutoff for the general category is around 60-70k and your rank is far from the cutoff rank. However, if you are adamant about getting a mechanical seat you can opt for the branch change facility under which the top 10% of students of a branch can change their branch. For this, you need to secure a good CGPA in the semesters. But this option is very risky and unpredictable so consider all options.

How is IIT Hyderabad metallurgy?

SA
Shruti Agarwal Posted On : May 9th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad (IITH)

My brother is a student in B.Tech third year at IIT Hyderabad MSME (Materials Science and Metallurgical Engg). The MSME program is a decent choice if you are ready to stay committed and invest extra efforts to secure a core job. 

  • Courses: The courses covered under this program are not purely metallurgy based, but rather a combination of materials science such as polymers.
  • Faculty: The MSME department has many zealous professors who are highly approachable and guide you throughout. They assist undergraduates in research.
  • Double Major: For those who want to work in the IT industry, you can go for a double major in another department. This demands an extra 24 credits, which will get you two UG degrees and might help you secure a well-paying job in the industry. Additionally, minors are also offered, in most of the engineering departments, along with a minor in entrepreneurship.
  • Branch change: You can also change your branch easily from this department and many students every year go for it.

Thus, IIT Hyderabad Metallurgy is a decent choice and can be considered by engineering aspirants.

Which is better XIMB HR or IIM Nagpur?

AS
Ajay Singh Posted On : January 17th, 2023
MBA in Master of Business Administration Degrees & Marketing, Vienna University of Economics and Business (Graduated 2017)

One of my friends pursued BTech from a renowned IIT and even had work experience when he got an offer from IIM Nagpur. He wasn’t sure if joining it would be worth it but a few months into the college made him realize that it was one of the best decisions of his life. He claimed that the following points convinced him to join IIM Nagpur

  • The IIM Ahmedabad mentorship
  • The IIM tag
  • The pedagogy is top-notch coming from the best professors of IIM Ahmedabad 
  • You get to spend one trimester in IIM Ahmedabad which itself is a lifetime experience 
  • The student exchange programs allow you to study at a foreign university for 3 months

I have seen many people forgoing offers from XIMB-BM, IIM Kashipur, IIM Indore- Mumbai campus VGSOM and all the newest IIMs to join IIM Nagpur. Its fast-paced growth and promising placement opportunities are the main reasons for the same. So I think IIM Nagpur is way better than XIMB.

B.E in Electronics and Instrumentation., Anna University, Tamil Nadu, India (Expected 2023

The international hostels at Anna University are one of the best hostel facilities provided by a government university. The facilities here are like no other hostel. The hostels provide:

  • Air-conditioned rooms

  • Electrical appliances like a geyser, fridge, and microwave

  • The hostel also has industrial washing machines with dryers

All these amenities make international hostels in Anna University top notch. The only drawback is that now the administration has started accepting local students into international hostels just because they pay a lot of money.

IPMAT IIM Rohtak considers past academic records as well but I have got 70% in my 12th boards with extremely low marks in maths. Do I have a chance to get into IIM Rohtak? If yes, then how?

AB
Arindam Banerjee Posted On : August 6th, 2021
Studied at Delhi University (2019)

IIM Rohtak offers admission based on your potential and not solely on the marks previously obtained. When the interviewer enquires of you regarding your low percentage, you should honestly answer him/her.

Instead of faltering and mumbling your answers you should confidently speak out your answers. Even if you would be at fault your interviewer would let it slide given that you are not doubtful of your own self. Try not to use any falsehood around them and notably maintain your calm. 

One can be of the view that your personality impresses your interviewers. In some cases, this view could be true. Maintain your calm and confidence in yourself and you will crack the interview.
