How difficult is it to study in KMC Manipal for a North Indian? One of my friends studied in KMC Mangalore but lives with her mom because of issues like language, food, etc.
Trust me there are no issues at all for a North Indian to study at KMC Manipal. Almost 60–70 % of students are North Indians. Almost everyone you have to interact with knows Hindi. However, you might face issues with clinical postings because most patients have only a basic understanding of Hindi. You will have to learn basic Kannada for which classes are taken in college in the second year.
The food is not a big issue at all because breakfast is South Indian comprising dishes like mini dosas, idlis, vadas. Bread, butter, and jam are served daily. Students are given rajma rice, Chole Bhature, and paneer once a week each. The roti served is very good and you will get Dal and rice daily.
Additionally, there are many that sell delicious food around the campus. There is also a mall within a 10-minute walking distance so you can visit Pizza Hut, Domino's, and CCD anytime.
Which college is better: Deshbandhu, PGDAV or Motilal Nehru?
You should give preference to PGDAV or Motilal Nehru. These two colleges belong to the same tier and offer good academics and placements. PGDAV College placements are above average. For the 2020-21 session, more than 150 recruiters visited the campus placement. The highest CTC offered to students was INR 19.50 LPA. If you are a sports enthusiast, you should prefer PGDAV, it has excellent sports facilities.
Matilal has a decent placement record. Students with good academics get job offers through campus placements. The highest CTC offered to the students ranges between INR 10-12 LPA.
What is your experience in Allahabad University?
Allahabad University offers a good campus experience. The architecture of the main campus is beautiful. Students are provided with ample facilities and resources. The university library has a decent collection of course books. The environment on campus is adaptable. You will meet people from all over the country on campus. The seniors are helpful.
AU has strict rules and regulations regarding attendance and uniforms. At times, you may feel like, you are still in school.
How can I get University of Madras transcripts?
You can get University of Madras transcripts by following these easy steps.
Required documents -
- Signed WES form.
- ID proof (Passport/Adhar/Driver’s License)
- Payment proof (online receipt/DD)
Keep two xerox copies of all documents with you.
Go to the USAB office and verify your documents. Buy two cloth covers. One will be used for all documents and one will be used for transcripts. You need to write your name and contact details on cover 2. After verification of documents, you will get an acknowledgment receipt.
After your docs are verified, you will be given a form by the attender. You need to fill it out and submit it along with DD, at the endorsement office. Keep the receipt.
You will be asked to visit next week to collect the cover. After receiving the documents, put them on a cover and write the WES address. Go to the post office, you will be given a form, fill it out and paste it on the cover. Go to USAB, and get a seal on the form. Once these steps are done, you can mail it via speed post or normal post.
I didn't study computer science in 11th and 12th grade, but now I wish to pursue computer science at the Manipal Institute of Technology. Is it a good decision to do so?
Even I began programming at Manipal Institute of Technology itself. I didn’t opt for Computer Science during 11th and 12th.
In the first few months, you’ll find a gap between those who can’t code and those who already can. The first few lectures will be quite difficult to understand. During your three hour lab sessions, you’ll struggle to complete the assigned programs on time. On the other hand, there will be students who will complete the same task much faster. You might even score less in the first few tests.
Now after all this, you’ll feel disheartened and approach people for help. Many will misguide you towards a branch change. This is when you have to choose- either you run away or face your fears. You’ll have to work hard and learn programming.
Do plenty of reading, approach your faculty with doubts, and seek help from friends who know programming. Manipal provides a good learning environment. It’s just that you’ll have to exhibit a lot of patience and hard work.
Pursuing my CSE from Manipal was the best decision I made. If you follow my advice, by the time you graduate, you’ll be at par with the rest of your batch.
If Manipal Institute of Technology is so good, why are there so few selections in GSoC, or no selection in ACM ICPC from it?
First of all, the quality of an institute can’t be assessed by the number of selections in GSoC and ACM ICPC from it. Indian colleges provide no special training for GSoC. The selections are completely based on the efforts and skills of students.
My friend from the Manipal Institute of Technology got selected for GSoC a few years back. He did it in his first year itself. There were others in his batch who would’ve gotten selected had they applied.
Now the reasons for a low participation rate in GSoC may be as under-
- Low interest in FOSS . The time and coding effort required in FOSS can be put in algorithmic challenges. The latter can be made competitive unlike FOSS contribution and is more closely related to the coursework. Companies also test algorithmic knowledge first, so people are more inclined towards that.
- Lack of mentors . For open-source development, a good mentor is needed.
As for ACM-ICPC, the teams from Manipal do make it to the on-site. However, the selection rate is low because of poor strategy and poor planning. The teams are unbalanced as well.
Manipal has a good programming culture. There are weekly Code Meets where students meet up and discuss random algorithms and problem-solving techniques, past questions from competitions like ACM-ICPC, and general questions from SPOJ. Clubs like IE CSE, IEEE Manipal, and ISTE host coding competitions throughout the year. Manipal hosts dedicated tech fests for coding and computers.
Even though Manipal doesn’t perform too well in GSoC and ICPC, the students are making constant efforts to improve in that direction. Also, this is an irrelevant criterion for judging the quality of education in an institution.
What is the difference in doing a six year MCh neurology course in NIMHANS and in other colleges in India?
It won't be right to talk about other institutions that offer Neurosurgery, but as one of my friends studied at NIMHANS, I will be able to share some details about it, analyzing which you can make your choice.
- Being a referral centre, NIMHANS receives lots of patients.
- The OPD’s will run up to modest hours in the evening and with cases ranging from PIVD to brainstem gliomas.
- The casualty will have a dedicated trauma team that receives 100–150 trauma cases per day, ranging from mild concussions to SAH.
- OT will run on all working days or all days in case of emergencies.
- The surgeries include aneurysmal clipping to functional surgeries such as DBS or functional hemispherectomy.
- There will be academic programs throughout the week including general classes to journal clubs.
- The main focus falls on clinical work, so you will get a lot of raw material to work with to gain clinical knowledge.
- If your interest lies in research, there are competing people there also, to encourage and guide you.
Ultimately, it is your duty to gather information from the cases, and what you learn from each of them after completing the clinical work. Always be ready to face any situation and work a hectic schedule.
After recent revelations regarding IIM Calcutta placements, is it wiser to choose IIM A/B/ L, XLRI or FMS over IIM Calcutta?
Every institute has its own shortcomings. If you choose IIM A/B/L or XLRI or FMS over IIM Calcutta, do you think you will not face any problems there? It’s just that their flaws haven’t been exposed yet. The fact that someone had the courage to come up and challenge IIM Calcutta is enough to prove its worth. The revelations were made by an IIM Calcutta student itself. This also proves the confidence level and leadership skills of these students are remarkable.
Besides, IIM Calcutta is among the best for a reason. Some casual claims cannot rain its reputation.
How is PSIT Kanpur?
PSIT Kanpur is among the top private engineering institutes in Kanpur. It is especially good for CS. The teaching methodology used is mostly theory oriented. There is less scope for exploring practical hands-on learning.
Companies such as Capgemini, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, TCS, etc. visit PSIT placements. Students usually receive an average CTC of around INR 5-6 LPA.
PSIT has strict rules in place regarding attendance. Students are required to maintain at least 90% attendance.
Which is better for a 5-year BA LLB, Lloyd Law College, Greater Noida; or Amity Law School, Noida?
Amity Law School, Noida will be better for pursuing a 5-year BA LLB. It is well-reputed in the Law sector and offers good facilities. The placement opportunities offered by the institute are good. Recent highlights of Amity Law School, Delhi placements show the average CTC to be around INR 4-5 LPA. Top law firms from around the country and abroad visit the campus placements. Herbert Smith (UK), Roousee International (Dubai), Clyde & Co. (Dubai), etc. are among the major recruiters that took part in the campus drive.
