What's the general perception of IIM Shillong?

JT
Jayant Thakur Posted On : January 21st, 2023
Works at Reliance Industries Limited

There are several general perceptions about IIM Shillong that may be worth addressing in order to provide a more accurate picture of the business school.

One perception is that IIM Shillong is located in a remote area and therefore lacks access to the same opportunities as more metropolitan business schools. However, this is not necessarily the case. In reality, many of the same companies that visit other top business schools like the Indian Institutes of Management in Bangalore and Kolkata also visit IIM Shillong. Additionally, companies come to the North East region to recruit both technical and managerial talent from IIM Shillong, as well as other top schools like IIT Guwahati and IIT Kharagpur.

Another perception is that IIM Shillong lacks proper infrastructure due to its temporary campus. However, the current campus, which has been in operation for the past 10 years, is equipped with the latest technologies and is on par with other top business schools in terms of infrastructure.

A third perception is that IIM Shillong has poor-quality students and faculty. However, this is not true. In reality, students who are accepted to IIM Shillong have typically scored very highly on the Common Admission Test (CAT), with a percentile score above 98%. Additionally, the business school has guest faculty from reputable colleges abroad who teach a number of elective courses that rotate across the major IIMs. Overall, these factors suggest that IIM Shillong is a high-quality business school that offers a strong education and a range of opportunities for its students.

What course at XIMB is better, rural management or sustainable management?

SG
Shreyan Ghose Posted On : April 16th, 2021
M.B.A. MBA-Rural Management, Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (2017)

RM and SM are different schools now and are no longer considered XIMB. XSRM and XSoS are now Xavier School of Rural Management and Xavier School of Sustainable Management respectively. 

  • The RM and SM programs come under Xavier University, Bhuvaneshwar. This means that post the convocation, your degree would read “XUB” and not “XIMB”. But you would be happy to know that the faculty is the same and placements are deserving. 
  • You would be exposed to diverse sectors regardless of what course you are pursuing. 
  • If RM and SM are the only specializations for you, it’s then up to you to choose whatever future you would like. Agricultural finance and GIS tagging are some sectors that are in trend these days in the line of either specialization. 

Both the courses are equally good and have their own importance. So, it’s all your decision, which field you want to pursue your career in.

Is LNCT Bhopal good for IT?

MG
Mohini Gupta Posted On : May 28th, 2021
studied at Lakshmi Narain College of Technology, Bhopal

If you do not have the option to join any government colleges and getting jobs is a concern, then LNCT is the place to be. With good grades, you may even get a job offer with a package of 3 to 4 LPA.

However, if you are hoping for a more comprehensive development of your personality, the answer is no. At the institute, you will have to write assignments, wear uniforms, maintain attendance, and participate in no extracurricular activities for four years.

There will also be insufficient learning in terms of both coding and soft skills. If you wish to pursue a career in the IT sector, you should seek out a suitable university, as RGPV teaches in an outdated manner, with only a few subjects taught that are relevant in today's technological advances.

The table shows a brief overview of the institution.

Highest Salary

19 lakhs

Average Salary

3.5 lakhs

Recruiters

Wipro, TCS, Capgemini, etc.

In comparison to other institutions in Bhopal, LNCT is the top college in Bhopal that is associated with RGPV, and you have a better chance of getting a job there. Overall, it depends on your preference.

What is the minimum duration for a PhD at IIT Roorkee for computer science?

RS
Radhika Srivastava Posted On : April 15th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee

The duration for Ph.D. in any department depends on the guide under which you are doing your research work. The average duration to produce good quality work with a competent supervisor is 4-5 years. If you get an A grade from all the examiners including foreign examiners, you don’t have to do the Thesis Viva. But a committee is formed by DRC to conduct a viva within IIT Roorkee.

Choosing the guide is a crucial matter for Ph.D. students as the same guide can help you get the degree very quickly while some guides can prolong the duration unnecessarily. Before finalizing your guide, conduct research on his credentials by talking to students he has dealt with in the past. It’s your guide who keeps who assists and motivates you throughout your research work. It’s better to stay away from professors who give C or C+ grades to M.Tech thesis students. This grade reflects nothing but the failure of the guide itself. You can find many such professors in ECE, though I don’t know if these can be found in the CS department or not.

Which is better, manit bhopal chemical or sgsits indore mechanical?

NT
Nivedita Trivedi Posted On : November 11th, 2023
Lives in Indore

First of all, your field of interest matters the most. If you are interested in Chemical, opt for MANIT Bhopal. But if you are inclined towards Mechanical, opt for SGSITS Indore. 

MANIT will offer you the prestigious NIT tag. But as a student of SGSITS, I would like to highlight some advantages of joining Mechanical at my college-

  1. Prithampura is the industrial hub of Indore. It has many industries, where you’ll easily get a job as an SGSITS student. Most of these industries visit the campus for placements as well.
  1. SGSITS is located at the heart of Indore city. So you can easily access coaching centers for UPSC, GATE, CAT, etc. These coaching centers are located very close to the campus. The students of our college perform really well in all these competitive exams. 

Based on the limited information provided by me, I hope you get a rough idea on which path will be best for you.

How can I do a good result in the 1st mid-semester as well as in the 1st semester exam at IIEST Shibpur?

SG
Sujata Ghose Posted On : February 23rd, 2021
IIT Bombay (2019)

Follow the class-notes and buy the previous year’s question papers from NB Xerox shop. Read the recommended books for the subjects and practice related questions from them. For Maths, it will be better to learn the proof of all the theorems. 

Maintain a habit of studying at least 2-3 hours daily. That way you won’t be overburdened right before examination. The syllabus can be completed in less than 20 minutes if you study regularly. 

Also, do not bunk classes. Try to attend every class and make your own notes in class itself. If you attend all the classes sincerely, the syllabus will be in your copy itself. Follow these tips and you will have no problem doing well in your classes. You will also have time to have fun and explore.

What are the summer internships at the IIT Kharagpur for students from other colleges?

NG
Nikhil Goal Posted On : March 27th, 2023
Mechanical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IIT KGP)

Unlike other IITs, IIT Kharagpur has no specific portal for outside students to apply for summer internships. Now the question arises, in the absence of a specific portal how do students apply for internships? 

Well, the official website of IIT KGP has a faculty section containing information on the research work of faculty of various departments. There is a lot of information on their experience level, personal information, and ongoing projects. Based on your own interests, you can contact the professor whose work intrigues you the most.

The next step is to make a good resume including all your project activities and subject-specific knowledge. Include the SOP, mention why you chose IIT KGP, that specific area, and your future goals. Send this resume to the email address of the professor you wish to intern under.

Lastly, don’t lose hope if you don’t get replies immediately, and stay consistent.

Why doesn't TCS recruit Sunrise University students?

SS
Souvick Sharma Posted On : May 19th, 2021
Studied at D. P Vipra College

It’s not true that TCS doesn’t hire students from Sunrise University. They may not come to the campus for placements if they already have their placement quota filled through other universities and colleges. Every company selects the campuses to visit based on their requirements and the students at Sunrise University may not present the needs of the organization.

But that does not mean if a student from Sunrise University approaches TCS for a job application, they will reject him/her solely because of his/her university. TCS hires candidates based on their talents and skills and if they fit the requirements of the organization. If a candidate is able to fulfill those requirements, he/she will be hired irrespective of the college or university.

In fact, TCS hires from many private colleges and universities such as Amity University. So there is absolutely no discrimination based on the college or university. Most companies will not care about your college or university. They care about how you can solve their problem and improve their revenues. If you can help them achieve that through your talents and skills, you would be welcomed in any organization, be it TCS or any other.

VS
Vaibhav Sinha Posted On : November 24th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Mandi

Here are some useful tips to help you survive four years at MANIT Bhopal, and make the most of your stay-

  1. Set your priorities straight.
  2. Be respectful to your seniors, juniors and batchmates. Even if someone is rude and unfriendly, behave with them in a respectful manner. 
  3. Never disrespect your teachers. 
  4. Adapt to the new environment, and do not expect a family-like treatment. Seek help from people around you, whenever needed.
  5. Be serious about your studies, and maintain good scores. Skill enhancement is the main goal, but bookish knowledge is also important when sitting for job interviews or other exams.
  6. Take care of your health. In order to enjoy your college life, you need to be in a healthy and fit condition.
  7. Participate in college activities to improve your social and communication skills. Practice grammar, and converse in English with your friends if your communication skills are poor.
  8. Prepare for your GRE/GMAT/CAT alongside your engineering studies. You can start during 2nd, 3rd or final year, as per your own comfort.
  9. Make a small study group with your friends to exchange notes related to your B.Tech or entrance exams (if you’ll be preparing for any). Having a study group provides good support.
  10.  Last but not the least, enjoy these four years. You’ll face a lot of challenges during this time, take them as a lesson and keep moving forward.

These are a few things I wanted to share with you. Follow these tips and your journey at MANIT will be very smooth.
