It is organized by the second and third-year students for the freshers. It gives them a chance to adjust to the new university life ahead and overcome the culture shock of an engineering college. The Frosh week organizers stand with - no ragging policy, healthy junior-senior interaction as well as intra-batch interactive sessions.

Is there an internet facility in hostel rooms for NIT Hamirpur 1st year students?
The Kailash Boys hostel for freshers of NIT Hamirpur, has various blocks. The old ones are- A, B, C, D, and the new one is E. The old blocks have a good LAN network facility. The LAN network can be turned into WiFi network using cmd. E block has a decent Wi-Fi facility, however, there are some rooms where the network connectivity may be poor.
But overall, block E is better. This is because it has bigger, well-maintained newer rooms. Each of its rooms has 3 fans, 1 per bed.
Overall, facility-wise, E block is better. On the other hand, the older blocks provide better internet connectivity. You can easily shift to an older block later on, by submitting an application.
How should I master in physics and organic chemistry for AIIMS ? I am a dropper and aspiring for a seat in AIIMS Delhi.
AIIMS Delhi is one of the most prestigious institutes in India, and every student desires to secure a seat in the medical field. As a dropper, you will be familiar with most of the topics in physics and organic chemistry. But AIIMS conducts the toughest entrance exam, which is far beyond the NEET. So only strong determination, patience, and practice will lead you to your dream. Unfortunately, there is no other alternative to cracking the AIIMS entrance examination.
Physics – You should have a thorough knowledge of all the concepts. If you are clear on the concepts, the rest will be much easier for you. Mastering physics is not a hazardous task; all you need is consistency and a good timetable.
Organic Chemistry – You need to master the basic reactions, which will help you solve complex topics easily. Conceptual clearance is a must and practice well to master nomenclature
The FORE School of Management has increased its batch strength to 300. Is it worth joining this college? What are your views regarding placements and ROI?
One of my cousins is from the 2016-18 batch and during her batch, the strength was around 190 to 200. At present, it can be 200 to 300 easily.
When it comes to placements, I can confidently state that the figures on the FORE website are right. Placement in FORE is dominated by marketing, IT, and consulting positions. It outperforms IMI as far as ROI is concerned.
Check a brief insight on placements in the table below:
|
Top recruiters |
Asian Paints, Nestle, Hindustan, Bacardi, TATA Motors, Hero, Whirlpool, HDFC, etc |
|
Placement rate |
97% |
|
Average salary package |
10.6 LPA |
|
Highest salary package |
30 LPA |
In the end, it is up to you to decide whether or not you should join FORE. I would not recommend you to quit your job and study hard for the CAT if you want to get into tier 1 or 2 institutions. Give yourself some time to think properly about what you want or where you want to go and then decide something.
Which university is better for an MBA, Kaziranga University or Tezpur University?
Tezpur University is a central University, whereas Kaziranga University is private. So the quality of education is better at TU. Also, the placement trends of the university have been quite good over the years. In the recent placement drive, the average CTC offered at the university was 3 LPA. So, for an MBA it is definitely the better option.
But when it comes to MBA, IIMs are the best choice. It’s better not to choose Govt. or private college for a professional degree like MBA.
Which one is better for a CSE: Jamia Millia Islamia or NIT Kurukshetra?
One of my friends recently passed out from NIT Kurukshetra. He was all praise for the coding culture there and also the placements. A lot of good companies like Google Microsoft Directi offer great packages given that your profile is deserving.
- The city life however is not very dynamic because Kurukshetra is a small city with very few places to hang out unlike Delhi, a very vibrant city.
- The hostel life is great because you make very good friends here. Students are provided with excellent internet facilities.
- The faculty is decent like any other engineering college with a mix of both good and below-average professors.
- The best part is that students won’t have to buy any study material from outside. You get 5 books from the college library for the entire semester and 3 additional books for a 15-day cycle.
- The food served in the mess is average but it's the same everywhere.
- The infrastructure is average but things are slowly getting better under the new director. New buildings and a swimming pool have been made.
Here is a brief comparison of both NIT Kurukshetra and Jamia Milia:

How does IIT Roorkee compare with IIT BHU?
IIT Roorkee and IIT BHU are both highly reputed institutions, and both are well-known for their engineering programs. However, IIT Roorkee is better than IIT BHU in terms of its brand value.
Here is a comparison between IIT Roorkee and IIT BHU based on various factors:
| Parameters | IIT Roorkee | IIT BHU |
|---|---|---|
| Year of Establishment | 1847 | 1919 |
| NIRF Engineering Ranking 2023 | 5 | 15 |
| Highest Package 2023 | INR1.3 CPA (Domestic) INR 1.06 CPA (International) |
INR 1.68 CPA |
| Top Recruiters 2023 | BCG, Bajaj Auto, Flipkart, Tata Steel | Uber, Flipkart, Microsoft |
IIT Roorkee is a much older institution than IIT BHU. As a result, it has a greater brand name, a stronger alumni network, and more polished industry connections.
But even IIT BHU is a renowned institution.
Both of these colleges have a rich legacy, but IIT Roorkee is certainly better.
Which is better for a BCA: Maharaja Surajmal or VIPS in terms of placement?
According to one of my friends at VIPS, it is much better than Maharaja Surajmal. They both are affiliated with the Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU). So essentially, the core study structure will be more or less similar at both institutes. But VIPS is known to have a better faculty, infrastructure, and placements.
Your first year at VIPS will go like a breeze with the smooth conduct of academics as well as extra-curricular activities.

What is the actual package received by MBA HR students at NMIMS Mumbai? Are the packages mentioned really inflated?
The average salaries of the Flagship MBA and MBA (Human Resource) programs are 26.63 Lakhs and 19.56 Lakhs, respectively in 2022- 2023 as per the placement reports on their website.
It is crucial to remember that the compensation packages described in placement reports are typically accurate. These numbers represent the actual salaries that recruiters offered to students. It's crucial to recognise that these numbers represent the pay packages given to a particular group of students who excelled academically and during the hiring process.
The compensation packages for pupils who didn't perform as well may differ. Additionally, the compensation packages may differ based on the sector, nature of the position, and location.
My heart says FMS Delhi. My brain says IIM Calcutta. Where should I go??
You should make an informed and logical decision rather than being irrational and believing that your heart says something different than your mind.
Getting to FMS vs. IIMC. Both are excellent business schools that have been in operation for many years. However, there is a reason why IIM ABC is mentioned in the same breath as the top three business schools in the country. Every ranking dating back decades has confirmed this. Every Indian is aware of it. FMS, while a good B School, is not compared to IIM ABC because they are superior in every way to any other B School.
When people say that the IIM tag is important, they are correct; however, how much it matters and for which IIMs is a different stories. Even the big four - PwC, Deloitte, KPMG, and E&Y - do not rank IIM ABC and IIM LKI equally. There is a distinct distinction. The rest of the time, you can deduce how much IIM ABC command the tag value over every other IIM. When compared to colleges that are not in the top 15, the tag matters for other IIMs. So, yes, the tag is important, but it is especially important for IIM ABC, which places a high value on the tag. This label is permanent for ABC graduates, but this cannot be said for other IIM graduates.
There are no parallels between IIM Calcutta and FMC Delhi. IIM C is far superior to and ahead of FMS. FMS is simply ranked lower than IIM ABC. You should think about it and make the right decision.
