How tough is securing above 9.0 CGPA at IIT Kharagpur?
I wouldn’t say that securing an above 9.0 CGPA at IIT Kharagpur is very tough. With the right motivation, even an average student can get a 9+ CGPA. When it comes to grading, IIT KGP has two methods
- Relative Grading: Under this, professors are required to give a 9+ CGPA to 25% of the batch which comprises roughly 100 students. Now it’s up to the professor to decide who is worthy of such high grades. While some professors give a 10 CGPA to only the deserving students, many professors casually grade the students without much thought.
- Absolute Grading: This is a rather rigid grading system wherein grading is done on the basis of cumulative marks. Students scoring 90–100 get a 10 while those 80–90 get a 9 and so on. The upper and lower limits are not fixed and the cutoff is decided by the professor itself. This grading system is usually followed in the Maths Department.
So we can conclude that getting a 9+ CGPA becomes a lot easier if you have no other distractions such as research or social work and you have been attending classes regularly.
Lastly, I would like to say that CGPA is not the only deciding factor. There are many students with a decent CGPA of 8+ who have made decent accomplishments and done high-level research or wonders in startups. The main agenda is to gain maximum exposure and then plan your future.
Should I take AIIMS Rishikesh or SMS Jaipur (I am from Jaipur)?
AIIMS Rishikesh is a better option than SMS JAIPUR. Here is why you should choose AIIMS Rishikesh to SMS Jaipur
- Smaller batch size
- Low fee
- Extremely cooperative professors in preclinical years.
- You will also get an AIIMS quota for PG.
- As for the patient inflow, it doesn't matter in UG so don’t let that mislead you to believe old colleges are better.
Here is why you shouldn’t choose SMS Jaipur
- The professors in preclinical treat you ruthlessly bringing your morale to its lowest
- The academics are pathetic and you have to resort to self-study
- The hostel and campus facilities are lacking and old
- Fees are higher than central institutes
- The batch size is huge
All this brings us to the conclusion that AIIMS Rishikesh is a far better choice than SMS Jaipur.
Is VIT better than most NITs and BITS GOA when it comes to CSE branch?
VIT and BITS both are excellent engineering schools in our country. Both of them are known for their academics and placements in the CSE department. A friend of mine has experienced all three institutes. During his time of admission, he was studying in VIT in the CSE department and then changed to BITS Goa.
- It is considered as the brightest students of VIT is equal to an average student of CSE in BITS Goa.
- The reason for this is mainly the programs and events being held at the institution continuously and frequently.
- BITS Goa has amazing faculties too which is an added bonus.
- Almost every student in BITS Goa is involved in Google Summer of Code (GSOC) or related to Competitive Coding.
- This enables and pushes the student towards better personality build and development.

| Course Fee | 19.19 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 24 LPA |
| Average CTC | 11 LPA |

How are the hostels in IIT BHU?
Freshers are allotted these three hostels(the first two are for boys and the last one is for girls): Vishweshvarayya Hostel, S N Bose Hostel, and Gandhi Smriti Mahila Chhatravas.
My brother lived in IIT-BHU Hostel and got to experience all the good and bad of hostel life at IIT-BHU. According to him:
ROOMS
- The rooms are very small and are shared by 2 to 3 people
- On first entering, you will not like the rooms at all. The rooms are covered in spider webs everywhere and some of the old used belongings from the previous occupants
- You will need to clean your room and get all the required items
- A bed, table, and chair are provided by the hostel administration
- Cupboards are in-built and you have to share them with your roommate
- The rooms have hardly any space, but the lawns are big and the hostel corridors are long
- There’s a sufficient number of washrooms on each floor. Each floor has water coolers.
OTHER FACILITIES: Common rooms, Canteens, Mess, TV Room, Badminton court, TT tables, and lawns. There’s also high-speed internet which can be connected through both, Wi-Fi and LAN
FOOD AND HOSTEL CANTEENS- The food is above average, better than other colleges and most of the other IITs.
Hostel canteens close between 2:30 A.M to 4:00 A.M. Students can still obtain food from within the campus at any time
HOSTEL TIMINGS- Apart from the first few months, there are no in-and-out hostel timings for boys. However, for girls, there is a strict time restriction, 10 PM.
HOSTEL STAFF AND ADMINISTRATION- The hostel staff and administration are friendly and supportive. You can also ask your Maharaja to make a dish that you wish to eat.
You will certainly face some challenges as you try to adjust to your new life. Living in and sharing small rooms with strangers will be difficult at first. You will have to learn to manage with very basic facilities, but as you make more and more friends at your hostel, you will come to enjoy every day that you spend there.
Also, some of these experiences are subjective, while others can also be different for a different academic batch. My brother completed his graduation in 2018.

Therefore, follow these pointers thoroughly for your exam. By practicing often you will realize that a lot of questions are usually repeated.
