What is the difference in doing a six-year MCh neurology course in NIMHANS and in other colleges in India?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : September 30th, 2023

I am not aware of other colleges but since my cousin is currently pursuing a six-year MCh neurology course in NIMHANS, I have better knowledge in that regard. 

  1. NIMHANS has a huge patient load and the OPDs are open till late hours in the evening. The cases entertained are very diverse ranging from PIVD to brainstem gliomas. 
  2. There is a dedicated trauma team that receives around 100–150 trauma cases every day from mild concussions to SAH. The OT runs on all working days and every day in case of emergency.
  3. Some of the most common surgeries conducted here are aneurysmal clipping to functional surgeries such as DBS or functional hemispherectomy. 
  4. The academics aren’t compromised and general classes are conducted throughout the week. Here, primary importance is given to clinical exposure so students get a lot of raw material to work with to gain clinical knowledge. 
  5. You will also have enough research facilities to satiate your research thirst. 

Overall, you will have a lot of opportunities and your schedule will be extremely busy while pursuing the 6-year MCh neurology course.

Studied at IIT Guwahati

Around 90% of students at IIT Guwahati are successfully placed and the placements are considered to be the best.

The average salary package for Computer Science Engineering (CSE) is INR 29 LPA. In terms of internships, students were offered INR 2 lacs per month by companies such as Uber and Microsoft.

How is IET Lucknow for an MBA?

SK
Shreya Kulkarni Posted On : August 3rd, 2021
Studies MBA at IIM Ahmedabad 2021

One of my friends is a recent alumni of the institute. According to him it is a really good institute. Let me share his experience which might help you get to know the college better.

  • A few years back, IET Lucknow offered MBA only in HR, Marketing, Finance, IT, and IB.
  • In case you want to go for IT or IB, you might have to study yourselves, without the assistance of the faculty.
  • The professors are usually supportive and extremely co-operative. However, their pedagogy is not as best as you can possibly anticipate. Most of the faculty is contract based.
  • Fundamentally, the HOD and the office boy are possibly the only permanent members of the institute.
  • The fees, however, are extremely low. It is 60,000 to 70,000 for a period of 2 years.
  • You should obtain a very good rank so as to enroll at IET Lucknow. My friend mainly secured the position of 72nd in the general category.
  • The placements for MBA students is not particularly the best.
Categories MBA at IET Lucknow
Course Fee 79,775 (1st year)
Course Duration 2 years
Highest CTC 20-30 LPA
Average CTC 8-10 LPA
Recruiting Companies IBM, Infosys, Accenture, Cognizant, etc.

You can choose enrolling at IET Lucknow since it is better than most other other institutes located in vicinity of it. Since IET Lucknow is also affordable, the general pressure of loans usually gets off the shoulders of students.

What will a graduate of SPJIMR/IIM-K/MDI miss out compared to someone graduating from IIM’s A/B/C?

K
Krati Posted On : March 6th, 2023
Works at McCann Erickson (company)

This question can be best answered by someone who has had a taste of both campuses. Fortunately one of my friends was lucky enough to move to IIM Ahmedabad after studying for a year at IIM Kozhikode. He shared his experience and the various things that contrasted in both the B Schools.

Faculty: Being the topmost B School, IIM Ahmedabad does attract some of the best faculties that are experts in their fields. They had too much knowledge and experience to impart making the classes a thrilling experience.

Crowd: While the crowd at almost all the good B Schools attracts only the best, IIM Ahmedabad is famous for its exceptionally good peer groups with only geniuses and masterminds in their respective fields.

Academic rigor: Normally B Schools offer a very hectic life with academic pressure combined with placements and clubs and committee activities. But at IIM Ahmedabad the topmost preference is Academics only. You are required to attend 3 lectures of 75 minutes of case study daily. These case studies are extremely lengthy and on average you are required to read 300 pages every day. Such economic rigor is lacking in the case of IIM Kozhikode.

There are several more minor differences between IIM Kozhikode and IIM Ahmedabad but these 3 are the main things an aspirant needs to consider while choosing one of the two B Schools.

How do I get my IGNOU ID card after taking admission in the MA programme?

AD
Aasif Dar Posted On : October 20th, 2022
Post Grady from IGNOU (Graduated 2016)

To get your IGNOU ID card you need to visit your IGNOU regional centre. You can collect it from there. The ID card should have a stamp of IGNOU on it which makes it valid. If you will download your IGNOU ID card online, it does not have the stamp making it invalid. This will be a major problem in your exams.

It is highly possible that IGNOU does not mail your card. Most of the time you will have to visit the regional centre personally to get your IGNOU ID card.

What is the food like in IIT Ropar?

GR
Geetali Rao Posted On : September 10th, 2021
Studied B.Tech Computer Science, Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (2021)

The food served at IIT Ropar is just edible, nothing extraordinary. You might not like the food at the hostel of IIT Ropar except for several occasions. 

Every student in hostels tends to get bored of the mess food after a while. The menu of the mess is prepared to keep in mind the presence of people from different regions of India. You will be served both South Indian as well North Indian cuisines. The mess at IIT Ropar has an advantage, unlike the other IITs, it serves snacks to the students and the breakfast is also pretty great. 

Food will not be an actual issue most of the time as you would be indulged in your studies. You will be busy and would not even notice the taste of the food after some time.

Is DTU better than some IITs?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 6th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

It depends on which generation of IITs you are comparing DTU with. If you are comparing it with old IITs like IIT Delhi, Madras, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Guwahati, Roorkee, and Bombay, then the answer is no, DTU stands nowhere near them. 

However, comparing DTU to the new IITs like IIT Hyderabad, Indore, Mandi, Jodhpur etc you will find that DTU fairs better in terms of alumni network, and has better placements than new IITs. You can say that DTU roughly lies somewhere between the old and the new IITs. 

Within India, you will find DTU to have a strong brand name because of its rich legacy of being the mother institution of IIT Delhi and NSIT. But internationally, only IITs enjoy recognition and hardly any foreign companies are aware of the DTU brand name.

How are the classrooms and campus at ISI Kolkata? Are the classrooms air conditioned?

TV
Tejas Verma Posted On : September 4th, 2021
M.Tech Computer Science, Indian Statistical Institute (2014)

ISI Kolkata is a very good mix of the old school and modern infrastructure. There are classes that have a typical old-school vibe like a tall ceiling, fans hanging from rods, typical old wooden benches and desks, a traditional wood-lined blackboard with chalks and dusters.

There are fully air-conditioned classes, gallery-type classrooms and all other modern facilities you will ever need. The campus is lush green, close to the River Hooghly and thus cool winds blow throughout the day. There are open areas for playgrounds, ponds along with the hostels and the academic blocks.
