IIM Kozhikode is offering Project management course, Should I opt it when I am already PMP certified?
If you are already PMP certified then pursuing Project Management course of IIM Kozhikode will not add much value to your experience. This is because
-
Firstly the course is for professionals who are interested in acquiring the PMP and CAPM certification. Since you are a PMP certified professional, it means that you are an experienced professional too. So this course will add no value.
-
Secondly, the objective of the course is to impart real-time work experience, and understand the principles of project management. As a PMP you already have these skills.
If you want IIMs title for your CV then go for it. But know that you won’t learn anything new from it.
Which is the best branch in NIT Hamirpur?
I am a student of CSE at NIT Hamirpur. Here are a few facts about my branch-
- Placements- CSE gets the highest package during placement season at NIT Hamirpur. The overall placements for CSE are good. Well known brands visit the campus each year to hire software engineers. Many students end up with multiple offers. During the 2022 placement season, 96.81% CSE students were placed. 139 offers were made in total, and the highest package stood at INR 1.12 CPA.
- Faculty- The faculty consists of good and supportive teachers. The classes are lesser in number, compared to other branches. Teacher-student relationship is good. You’ll hardly attend lab sessions as a CSE student.
- Student Ratio- The female to male ratio is comparatively much better for CSE.
Considering all these factors, and the fact that it offers the best placement records, I would say that CSE is the best branch at NIT Hamirpur.
How is IIITDM Jabalpur for CSE?
If you are considering pursuing CSE at IIITDM Jabalpur, there are a few things you should know. Here are some important points to keep in mind:
- Success in CSE requires your own motivation and hard work. While you will have some support from faculty and seniors, ultimately it will be up to you to put in the effort required to excel in this field.
- In order to succeed in CSE, you will need some support from people who know more than you. This could include faculty members, seniors, or other professionals in the field.
- During the first three semesters of your CSE program, you will have common courses with your whole batch. This means that you will be taught physics, manufacturing, aesthetics, and some CSE-related freshman courses.
- Don't rely solely on your faculty to teach you everything you need to know. While some of them may be great teachers, others may not be as helpful. However, you can always go to their offices and ask them for help with any doubts or questions you may have. Most of them will be happy to help you out.
- Don't let anyone discourage you from asking for help from a particular teacher. If someone tells you not to approach a certain teacher, ignore them. You are here to learn, and it's important to interact with your teachers and ask them questions.
- Seniors can be a great source of support and information. They have been through the same program as you and can offer advice and guidance based on their own experiences. Don't hesitate to ask for their help if you need it.
- You will benefit greatly from learning more about CSE on your own and applying your ideas practically. While you will have some guidance from faculty and seniors, a lot of your learning will happen on your own with your laptop, your friends, and your own curiosity and drive.
Overall, CSE is a great field to pursue, but don't take our word for it. Do your own research about the institute you are considering and make an informed decision about whether it is the right choice for you.
Does anyone get a good CGPA without attending many classes in BITS Pilani?
One of my friends graduated from BITS Pilani and he scored a good CGPA of 9.2 in his 4th year of CSE. Following points are a few facts about the institute that might help you:
- If you want to get a good score make sure you study hard that will later reflect in your results.
- However, attending classes does make the preparation procedure much easier. As you will be always updated with the topics that are being discussed.
- During your 1st year attending regular classes will be easier. But gradually it will become tougher to balance your studies and attending classes.
- You must not neglect attending classes completely, and if you do make sure you prepare through self-study.
For any junior, I would advise them on attending as many classes as possible. You can skip the humanities and open electives but not your core subjects. Make sure even if you miss out on the classes, you cover the syllabus through self-study.
Is IIM Calcutta better than IIM A for Finance majors?
It is, indeed. By far.
Whether you want a tech role, a front-end IB role, a PE/VC role, trading, algo trading, a hedge fund or quant role, a risk manager or a financial regulator role, or even a research career in finance, IIM C is by far India's best offering. It has a cutting-edge Finance Research and Trading Laboratory, multiple terminals throughout the campus and the laboratory, the largest annual research output by PhDs in India, and much more.
In terms of both absolute placement rates and batch percentage, IIM C has the highest placement rates in India's finance industry.
Can you please set the preference order for the following MBA colleges: IBS-Hyderabad, IMT-Nagpur, XIME-Banglore, Welingkar-Mumbai, Bimtech-Noida?
Honestly speaking all the B Schools you mentioned are just glamorous brand names with no real value. The placement scenario is very pathetic here as the companies that visit are looking for students who can work at fewer salaries. Only the extremely meritorious students get good packages and that too is rare.
So I will suggest that if you have scored 95+ in CAT, then you are capable of more. So work hard and target a better B School next year. Remove these colleges from your list of options and attempt CAT again.
If you are not very sure about attempting CAT again then prepare yourself for a package as low as 5-6 LPA.
Can instrumentation engineering students appear for IES?
Irrespective of the branch, any B.tech graduate can appear and get selected for IES. The syllabus for IES is prescribed by UPSC. Currently, instrumentation engineering is not one of the subjects in the syllabus of IES.
The IES exam is conducted in three phases, i.e. prelims, main and personal interview.
The following table contains the syllabus of IES.
|
Syllabus |
Paper-1 |
Paper-2 |
|
Prelims |
General studies and engineering aptitude |
Engineering discipline (civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electronics and telecommunications, and electrical engineering) |
|
Mains |
Engineering discipline -1 (civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering) |
Engineering discipline -2 (civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electronics and telecommunications, and electrical engineering) |
As mentioned in the table IES consist of the following subjects.
- Civil engineering
- Mechanical engineering
- Electrical engineering
- Electronics and telecommunications
Therefore, it might be difficult for a student to select and study other branch subjects. It will require extra effort but it is possible.
The syllabus of instrumentation engineering is 90% similar to the syllabus of electrical engineering and electronics and telecommunications. Hence, it is advised that instrumentation engineering students should choose electrical subjects for the IES exam. However, there is no hard and fast rule to choose electrical subjects. You should select the subject in which you have good command.
