Do northern Indian people find it difficult to adjust to the top NIT’s in the south?

Namrata Das Posted On : August 17th, 2023

North Indians may face slight issues while adjusting to the culture and language at South Indian NITs like NIT Warangal.

  • Language: There isn't much of a language problem here because most academic conversations are conducted in the English language. However, outside the college, you may find it very difficult to deal with the public, especially the drivers and shopkeepers. If you have some good South Indian friends, they will help you. 
  • Food : Usually there is a separate mess for South and North Indian food. But if your college does not have this provision, you will have to adapt yourself to the south indian taste. Students are usually given basic dishes like rice, dal, vegetables, chapati, bread butter etc. with a hint of south Indian flavor in each. For a change, you can sometimes visit canteens or restaurants.
  • Culture : Here you won't be able to celebrate Diwali, Holi and Dussehra the way you do in your home state. South Indian festivals like pongal , ugadi, ganesh chaturthi, diwali, holi, saraswati pooja will be celebrated by all. 
  • Crowd: South Indians are very friendly, hospitable, and honest. They respect you and your culture and expect the same from you. You will end up with many South Indian friends by the end of your college life. 

It's true, North Indians have to come out of their comfort zones to adapt to the culture at NITs. but once you have adjusted yourself, you will love how diverse your friend group is and the amazing experiences they gave you.

Is there any difference if I do MBA in IIM Indore through integrated program or get into IIM Indore through CAT?

RR
Rupohi Roy Posted On : August 26th, 2021
MBA from IIM Bangalore (2020)

Yes, there are a lot of differences between these two courses. After your successful completion of the integrated program, you will be awarded an Integrated Diploma in Management. And after the successful completion of a postgraduate diploma, you will be awarded Post Graduate Diploma Management. 

  • You will not receive an MBA degree after completion of any of these courses from IIM Indore because all the IIMs do not fall under the Universities Grant Commission Act.
  • There is a great practical understanding between the PGP students as they belong from different backgrounds, different colleges, and have different kinds of work experience. 
  • There is an added advantage to IPM students as they get rounded development over the period of 5 years in a business environment while the CAT exam is being cracked by 90% of the engineers.
  • But the syllabus for both these courses is the same and there is no distinction. The classes, programs, and activities, and even the placements of both PGP and IPM students are conducted together. 

Hence, there are a lot of differences between the two courses like certificate and study environment, but in the end, their course structure is similar and the placements are also conducted together.

How good is machine learning course of IISC Bangalore (video lectures which are on nptel)?

ra
rimjhim arora Posted On : February 8th, 2024

I lack knowledge of this particular course. But on nptel itself, there is a course called ‘Pattern Recognition and Neural Networks’ by Prof. P. S. Sastry. It is one of the best courses by an IISc Bangalore faculty. 

In this course, sir gives unbelievable insights for complicated equations. His students at IISc refer to him as ‘GOD’ for a reason. This course is more mathematically rigorous than the Machine Learning course by Andrew NG on coursera. But the latter is probably better from a practical implementation point of view. 

You can check these two courses as well, and then decide which of the three courses is best suited for your learning.

Which should I choose: IIT Madras for metallurgy over NIT Trichy for computer science and engineering?

AS
Aditi Sengupta Posted On : March 29th, 2023
Studied at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

If you're trying to decide what to study at university, it can be overwhelming. You should consider CSE at NIT Trichy, instead of going to IIT Madras for metallurgy. Here are some reasons why you should choose computer science engineering:

  • Don't choose a branch just for the sake of a tag: You may feel pressure to choose a certain branch of study because of the prestige associated with it, but this can be a mistake. Instead, consider your long-term career goals and what will be most beneficial to you in achieving them.
  • Don't risk your career for a tag: Going for a branch just because it's considered prestigious, even if it's not the best fit for you, can be a big risk. Your career is important and you should choose something that will set you up for success in the future.
  • Topping the class doesn't guarantee certainty: If you're certain you want to change your branch and you're confident you'll be able to top your class at IIT Madras, you may be considering metallurgical engineering. However, there's always a risk that you won't be able to achieve that top spot. If that happens, you'll be stuck with a degree that may not be as useful for your career goals.

Is NIT, Srinagar good?

SM
Spandita Majumder Posted On : September 20th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Agartala (2019)

As an alumnus of NIT Srinagar, here is my opinion of my institution.

Kashmir is perfect for personal growth. Kashmiris are polite and helpful. They never badmouth non-Kashmiri Indians, though they have their own issues with the army. Kashmir is the right place if you love nature, and enjoy exploring. Srinagar is a mesmerizing city, and you’ll never forget it, even long after graduating. 

NIT Srinagar is placed 82nd in the 2023 NIRF Engineering Rankings, which is a decent rank. Hostel and mess facilities aren’t great. The campus life isn’t too hectic, and you’ll get ample time to learn new skills.

Overall, NIT Srinagar is a decent college for your engineering studies.
