How will I get fee refund that I deposit for UPTU (AKTU) Counseling?

What branch is better to join at RGPV Bhopal to get a good campus selection?
LNCT, Oriental, and RGPV are some of the better colleges for campus selection in Bhopal. According to recent stats, LNCT has been offering the highest placements in MP in the last 2 years.
Major companies like: CTS, TCS, INFOSYS, HCL, WIPRO, L&T, ZENSAR, ORANGE, ARICENT, etc have visited LNCT for placement drives.
The prime branches like MC, CE, and EE have fewer companies visiting for campus recruitment with an average package of 1.8-3.0 LPA. If you are looking for higher packages in core branches, then definitely opt for post-graduation/GATE. Well-reputed public sector companies like NTPC, BHEL, ONGC, etc. require high GATE scorecards for their interviews.
When can one appear for CSIR-UGC NET-JRF/CSIR UGC NET-LS exams?
CSIR-UGC NET-JRF and CSIR-UGC NET-LS exams are conducted by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) twice a year, typically in June and December. The exam is conducted to determine the eligibility of candidates for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and Lectureship (LS) in the fields of Science and Technology.
To be eligible for the CSIR-UGC NET exam, candidates must have a Master's degree or equivalent degree in a relevant field from a recognized university or institute. The age limit for JRF is 28 years (as of the date of the exam), while there is no upper age limit for LS.
It's important to note that the eligibility criteria may vary depending on the subject for which the candidate is applying. Additionally, candidates who have already qualified for JRF or lecturership in any of the other national level exams such as UGC/ICAR/ICMR/GATE, etc. are not eligible to apply for CSIR-UGC NET.

Part A is common to all subjects and consists of questions related to General Aptitude, Part B consists of subject-related multiple-choice questions, and Part C consists of higher value questions that test a candidate's knowledge of scientific concepts and their ability to apply that knowledge to solve complex problems.
Overall, the CSIR-UGC NET exam is a great opportunity for candidates who wish to pursue a career in research or teaching in the fields of Science and Technology. By clearing this exam, candidates can qualify for JRF or LS and establish themselves as experts in their chosen f
Should I go to IIM Lucknow or IIM Shillong?
The college you decide to go to depends on what you want from your MBA. Many are just interested in placements. Some want to experience a nice relaxing college life. So these points might clarify further which of the 2 colleges is for you
Location: IIM Shillong is located in a serene area in North-East and has a calm temperature throughout. The ambiance is much more relaxing than IIM Lucknow which has extreme temperatures.
Curriculum: IIM Lucknow has a rigorous curriculum and the students face cut-throat competition causing many to repeat the first year. In contrast, IIM Shillong’s curriculum is balanced and students remain relaxed most of the time.
Sports: If you are a sports freak, then IIM Shillong is not for you as it has very limited opportunities as opposed to IIM Lucknow which has amazing opportunities.

Is it worth taking admission for an MBBS at AIIMS Rishikesh or Raipur or Patna if I am getting good colleges from the state counselling like RML Lucknow or GSVM Kanpur?
AIIMS Rishikesh, Raipur or Patna all are well reputed institutes and should not be underestimated. They are institutes of national importance and autonomous institutes of central government.
The infrastructure of AIIMS Raipur is better than most state medical colleges of India. The only disadvantage is that you won't be able to get a 50% state quota in NEET PG.
The core points of these institutes are:
-
Infrastructure
-
Faculty
-
Facilities
-
Fees
-
AIIMS title
-
Small batch size facilitates better teaching
So yes, it’s worth taking admission at AIIMS Raipur or Patna for MBBS.
Is it good to take admission in IIM Jammu? Currently I am in Infosys Hyderabad with 1.8 years of experience.
Yes, I think it’s a fairly good decision to take admission to IIM Jammu. This is because in the long run your IIM degree and tag will be very beneficial.
I know you might think that IIM Jammu is just a newly established institute and may not be worth leaving a job at Infosys. But if you look at the placement scenario here you can see how quickly it has come to establish itself in the IIM Race.

These figures certainly prove that IIM Jammu is climbing the ladder slowly and steadily.
Apart from placements, the following merits add to its worth
- Many events are held by the students themselves like the HULT case competition.
- The climate is much similar to that of Delhi. If anything it is much cleaner and fresher here.
- The faculty is also top-notch
- The infrastructure is also pretty good
So IIM is itself a brand name. You will not regret choosing any IIM be it IIM Jammu or any other.
Which one should I choose between IIM Jammu and IIM Bodh Gaya?
It’s up to you to decide which college to go to. I can only throw some light on the advantages IIM Jammu has over other newly established IIMs including IIM Bodh Gaya
- It was established in 2016 and initially was affiliated with IIM Lucknow but in 2019 it became an autonomous body.
- It’s located in the center of Jammu in the vicinity of the airport, the railway station, and the bus stand and therefore offers excellent connectivity.
- The students face a tight schedule and are well prepared for corporate life.
- Great emphasis is placed on extracurricular activities.
- The Annual Sports Event “Funathon” is held to showcase the talents of students in sports.
- Guest lectures, HR Conclave, and CEO Summit make it possible for the students to have a one-to-one interaction with Industry experts.
- Various clubs and committees are maintained by the students as well as the faculty.
These points are based on my friends' experience only. If you ask others I am sure you will see mixed responses. This is because both the IIMs are newly established and don’t have much difference.
Can we do biotechnology at NIT Jalandhar?
No, personally I wouldn’t suggest pursuing biotechnology at NIT Jalandhar. But still, if you have decided on that consider the following points:
-
Learn to code also. This is because the number of placements for biotechnology is very few. So you can get into an IT Company.
-
If you are seriously interested in biotechnology then the best option is to sit for the GRE or TOEFL and do masters in a foreign university.
-
The last option is to prepare for an MBA.
So to pursue biotechnology in the long run you must aim at moving abroad. The scope is high in foreign universities.
How is IIM Lucknow & Wiley’s product analytics program? It costs almost 2 lakhs. Is it worth it? Has anyone done this course?
Honestly, there are so many online courses offering the same program that are cost-friendly. Brand name does not play any major role in your career in Analytics. So paying such hefty fees is not understandable. Also, the professors of Analytics here are too old and have never worked in the field in real life. They are just here to earn money and impart bookish knowledge.
Courses like these require passion and willingness to learn and not a brand name or huge fees. This course is suitable for a senior manager who is eager to learn about Analytics.
What should I choose mechanical engineering at top 3 nits or CSE at NIT Jalandhar?
Students these days focus more on placements than general potential development. They rank branches on the basis of the placement opportunities they render. But this viewpoint is totally unfair.
Recent years have seen a drastic change in interest from Mechanical Engineering to CSE. People prefer sitting in front of the computer for the rest of their lives just to earn better than Mechanical Engineers.
My advice in this regard is that you should go for Mechanical Engineering at the top 3 NITs over CSE at NIT Jalandhar. Else choose CSE only if you are crazy about coding.
