How do I get a decent CGPA in bit mesra exam system?
To score well at BIT Mesra, pay equal attention to your lab and your course subjects. Here are some strategies to help you score well in your exams-
For good lab scores-
- PT/NCC/NSS/CA- Your performance in sports and athletics will fetch you extra credits. For NCC and NSS, merely attending their events will fetch you an extra credit per semester.

- Lab scores have two divisions - All labs at BIT Mesra are quite similar, except for the microprocessor lab and a few others. Their scores are divided into two broad groups- lab practical and viva. Other exams like objective tests, etc. hardly contribute to your final lab credits.
For Course Subjects- You will have 6-course subjects per semester at BIT Mesra with 7 modules for each. Study with proper planning and do some smart work-
- Don’t mug up. Select and study those modules through which you can answer all 5 questions in the exam. Don’t study everything. Go through the previous year's question papers, find a pattern, and prepare accordingly.
- To build credibility, first answer those questions that you know well. Write the manipulated answers afterward. Never leave a question, unless you are totally clueless about that topic. Manipulative answers can fetch you good marks sometimes. For subjective answers, adding related graphs, equations, and diagrams helps to get good grades. Write in pointers and mention some additional details in a structured manner. Write neatly.
Maintain good attendance and submit your projects on time: This will add extra credits and help you score better.
If you follow these tips and work wisely, you will score a good CGPA at BIT Mesra.

What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at NIT Jamshedpur?
One of my friends was an alumnus of this institute, in the batch of Civil Engineering (2009-2013). He once told me about some facts which I have listed below so that the students could find this beneficial.
- It is better not to listen to the senior students, who usually tell you to follow your dream and passion by neglecting the semester GPA. Yes, you must indeed follow your dream, but this idea is the worst ever. So, it will be best to keep a distance from such seniors.
- You should always keep in mind that CGPA matters a lot, so if anyone gives any time advice about the Education System of India, then it is better to ignore such advice.
- Well, the campus life is very cool in NIT Jamshedpur. So, you could utilize this by enhancing your communication skills (Both Verbal and written). Besides, you must look after their aptitude skills also.
- However, college life is completely associated with making new friends.
Thus, the most important thing is that never ask for any type of advice from the immediate senior students, as they especially give clueless guidance to confuse the juniors.

- Go through the assignments and last year's papers to get an idea of the questions that might come in the exams.

Participate in Festember or Pragyan, go for IOT, or any other technical projects. Develop your personality as a whole and don’t become a book nerd. Make new friends, go on trips, and create memories.
