How is mess food at IIIT Delhi?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : October 5th, 2023

Unfortunately, IIIT Delhi's mess food is like any other typical mess food. I have friends in other IITs and I heard from them that their mess food is better. The mess scenes are very chaotic, especially during the day. 

There are frequent menu changes but only for the show. No new dishes are added and only the order or serving is changed. They even interchange lunch and dinner and claim this act as updating the menu. The mess app doesn't improve the food quality.

The food served is of substandard quality and the majority of students tend to order their food online. So, be prepared to be disappointed by the IIITD Mess.

How is life at SP Jain (SPJIMR) for a full time MBA (PGDM)?

MJ
Manash Jyoti Posted On : March 6th, 2023
Masters of Business Administration Degrees, Jain University

Life at all the top B Schools in India for MBA aspirants is pretty much the same. It’s hectic and rigorous but highly knowledgeable. The B Schools offer an insight into the various angles of Management in a period of 2 years through excellently designed pedagogy and curriculum.

Coming to SPJIMR specifically, has a blend of a variety of features that sets it apart from other top B Schools. Some of these include Innovative pedagogy, Profile-based interview calls, ADMAP, DOCC, Abhyudaya, Global Fast Track, and Autumn placement structure. But the one aspect my answer will solely focus on is the amazing culture of SPJIMR which is like no other B School.

  • Harmony: When it comes to student connectivity, SPJIMR really does steal the show. While many B Schools have witnessed cases wherein ragging and bringing down rivals is a common occurrence, SPJIMR refuses to adopt this culture. There is tremendous harmony among the students such that if someone was struck during a presentation, the whole class would try their level best to save him from embarrassment. Such small acts speak highly of the student connection which was observed even by many professors who had visited other B Schools too.
  • Collaboration: The much-heated events in a B School are Corporate Competitions that are said to bring out the worst side of people. Other B Schools have competitions where competitors are treated as rivals and there is tough competition. Interestingly enough, SPJIMR has a very different outlook on the same. SPJIMR students collaborate with each other while preparing for these competitions. Basically, students help out their batchmates before themselves, and this results in a beautiful bond between them.
  • Placement Committee: It is very common for a placement committee to be rude toppers who are always causing constant wars between the students. They become placeCom mainly for upgrading their CV. But SPJIMR Placement Committee is yet again very different in the sense that its sole purpose is to get its students the best placements. They conduct elaborate discussions to formulate training plans for the students to face the tough placements. They are friendly yet stern. 

I know many may criticize me for jotting such minor points in reference to campus life at SPJIMR. But in my opinion, the culture of an Institute is a very important parameter as it determines what kind of relationships you will have with your peers and the kind of friends you will have for a lifetime. You get to have the best alumni network as a cherry on top.

What is the difference between the north and south campus colleges of DU?

PD
Preeti Deshmukh Posted On : October 12th, 2022
BA from University of Delhi

There is no discernible difference.

1-The faculty levels on both campuses are the same. Teachers on the south campus are more helpful and friendly, but there are a few good teachers on the north campus as well.

2-When it comes to PG or food, the South campus is far too cheap. In the south, one can find very good affordable accommodation. North is a little pricey because there are too many colleges, which increases the demand for goods and pgs, and thus prices.

3-The crowd in each college is nearly mixed and uniform. Although the north campus receives more applications from students from UP, Bihar, Haryana, and Rajasthan because it is overrated and hyped among people, all mostly SC, ST, and OBC, sports quota, and ECA quota students go there if they get it anyhow. 

4-Colleges do not provide degrees; DU does. So, regardless of which college you attend, you will receive the same degree.

5-Placements- this is an extremely important factor. The majority of placements are reserved for Bcom and Economics Honours students. Placements are available at LSR, SRCC, Hindu, Venky, Hansraj, KMC, and Ramjas, but only for Bcom or Economics students. Other department students may be offered the internship, but the pay is insufficient.

6- Restrooms and drinking water- The restrooms in each college are clean and well-maintained. Clean and sanitary. However, if you drink a lot of water, you should only go to North Campus if you can buy a bottle for each day because the water there is too salty. 


There is no distinguishable difference between the two campuses. So choose a college that is easy to get to, as the metro has raised its fares, and where PG, hostels, and flats are reasonably priced, as you will be spending three years there.

How is life at NIT Raipur? How are freshers treated? What is the scenario of ragging? What about hostel, mess food and seniors?

CR
Chandrakana Ray Posted On : March 26th, 2021
B.Tech National Institutes of Technology, National Institute of Technology, Raipur (2021)

NIT Raipur is a good college and one can definitely opt for this college. The infrastructure is very good with all facilities like wifi, laboratories, library, common rooms, etc are available. 

  • The campus placements are also good enough especially for computer science students where they get placed in many top companies. 
  • It has a good environment where you can learn many things besides academics and improve your soft skills too. 
  • The course curriculum is nice and the faculty members are experienced and knowledgeable in their subjects.
  • Freshers are treated very well in this college and the seniors are very helpful too. They are friendly and help in academics by teaching important topics and helping to complete the assignments.

NIT Raipur is completely free of ragging as it is strictly prohibited in this college and there are certain rules to stop ragging in college. There are also some officers assigned to take care of the freshers and prevent ragging inside the campus.

The hostel scenario is not up to the mark. You will get a room based on your JEE rank and in some cases, students don't even get a room and they have to stay outside of the college. The mess food is also not that good and the quality gets degrading day by day. So life at the hostel wouldn't be good if you expected something great.
