What is the difference between the preparation strategy for GATE and that of M Tech (CS) at ISI Kolkata?
I am not fully aware of IITs courses but could still try to give some insight of the same on whatever I got to know from the internet.
- The ISI M.Tech CS entrance exam includes an optional Objective Paper Mathematics and a Subjective Paper (you may choose CS).
- The majority of ISI's placements are in analytics firms so it would be advised to not choose ISI if you're looking for a core CS job.
- If you are interested in Algorithm Design, Machine Learning, and, most importantly, Cryptography, then ISI would be a good option.
- After completing your MTech CS at ISI, you will have several research opportunities in ISI and also abroad.
- ISI has excellent theoretical CS faculty (Mathematics, Statistics, Cryptography, Machine Learning, Data Science).
- So, if you're interested in learning more about these topics, you can come to ISI.
Please do not expect to find Developer, Coder, or Core CS work at ISI after completing your M.Tech. Students have a misconception about it and come here with high hopes which ultimately backfires.
What should a non CS student of IIT Delhi do to get job in IT or a coding related job?
Many IITians target a coding job or a job in the IT sector be it CS or non-CS students. This is somewhat easy for CS students as they are in direct contact with computer science courses and have enough knowledge of the same. So, what should Non-CS students do to get IT or coding jobs?
Non-CS students can do the Data Structures course as an open course. This course will mar you somewhat suitable for Software Engineering roles and interviews. The knowledge acquired through these courses is more than enough to clear the interview successfully. The next step is to determine what CGPA will get you what kind of job.
- 9-10 CGPA: Anything above 9 is a glittering aspect in your resume and will get you offers from Samsung, South Korea.
- 8.5 CGPA: This is also considered decently good and carries enough weightage in your resume to get you good packages
- Above 7.5: This is the usual cutoff for IT companies while shortlisting candidates.
Extracurriculars hardly matter in the IT industry unless you are targeting HUL or ITC.
For Finance jobs, the Probability and Stochastic Processes course in the 4th semester is a good choice.
What are the best books for ouat preparation?
The OUAT entrance questions mostly come from NCERT books. Especially for the Biology and Chemistry section. So, cover all the topics from NCERT Biology and Chemistry. Along with that solve the previous year’s questions. Also, you can buy an OUAT entrance guide. You should make a habit of solving 200 MCQs within 2 hours to prepare for OUAT.
How should I prepare for my interview in IISc Bangalore for the Integrated PhD course in Physics? I appeared in JAM 2016.
I was interviewed at IISc Bangalore for an integrated Ph.D. in Physics. Once you get an interview call, your JAM marks or rank do not matter.
You will give an interview to a panel of 5 to 6 professors, each one of whom will be an expert in their field. In the beginning, you are asked about your UG studies and favorite topics in Physics. After this, you are asked questions and thoroughly examined.
Be very clear with the basics of Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, Electrodynamics, and Mathematical Physics. You can be asked anything from them. Truncated Harmonic Oscillator and Finite Square Well are important topics that are routinely asked during a Physics interview.
You should accept it if you do not know about a topic or did not study it. This is because the panelists easily assess what you know and what you do not know. If you do not know a topic and the panelists are in a good mood, you will be asked to get into the ‘let’s figure out’ mode, else, they will move on to another topic.
My interview experience at IISc Bangalore was quite good. I was not selected for the iPh.D. Physics program but the interview aided my growth and knowledge. I would recommend you enjoy the interview at IISc Bangalore and also give it well-prepared.
How do I prepare for the AKTU semester exam overnight?
Trying to complete the entire course overnight is common among B.Tech. students. This is because general subjects like P.C Professional communication, Product development, Environment science, etc require minimum effort. But try not to complete the course overnight for core subjects.
I have listed below some tips that will help you complete the course overnight:
-
First and foremost don't try to complete the entire syllabus. Focus on getting minimum marks. For this, you need to study only the important topics.
-
Instead of referring to the course books, go for short notes. The best option is Quantum Guides.
-
Divide your time and giveequal time to each topic. Remember timemanagement is the key.
-
If you have completed the major topics, switch to the less important ones.
-
Make sure you revise whatever you have studied at night an hour or two before the exam.
-
Go through previous year papers thoroughly.
These tips are meant for everyone in general but the results may vary depending on each individual's capacity.
