Why is Karunya University underrated even though it is producing a good placement record?

HS
Harish Shah Posted On : November 15th, 2022
B Tech in Computer Science and Engineering, Karunya University

There are several reasons for this, including the fact that Karunya generally advertises only in the southern regions of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh. As a result, there will be more students from here. Most North Indian students who come here learn about Karunya through alumni. Students are not given many opportunities to showcase their talents, such as singing and dancing. Doing dance numbers to Bollywood/Hollywood songs, for example. There is one thing to point out even though Karunya believes in a value-based education system yet prayers are given more weight than studies.

In comparison to other universities, there is little freedom. Most people, especially outsiders mistake this location for a Christian conversion site, which is completely false. The majority of KU alumni are dissatisfied with the university. People only ask them if they should go to Karunya at the end of the day.

Despite this, Karunya is an excellent place to study. All Karunyans need is a little more exposure to the outside world.

What is the placement record of cusat?

AB
Ahalya Bose Posted On : August 8th, 2023
Studied at Cochin University (2019)

The placement scenario at CUSAT is better for branches like CS, IT, and Ship Building but very bad for branches like Mechanical, Civil, and Electrical. The institute hasn’t been releasing the official figures for a long time now so the following data is derived from media reports. 

As per the media sources, out of 43 BTech (Naval Architecture and Ship Building) students, 41 were placed during 2023 placements. The highest and average package of the same was recorded at INR 17.3 LPA and INR 8.3 LPA, respectively. A total of 150 companies visited for BTech placements and selected 505 students. The highest package and average package for BTech stood at INR 25 LPA and INR 5.88 LPA, respectively.

The key highlights of CUSAT placements 2023 have been tabulated below

Are placement stats of IIM Ranchi fake?

RG
Ridhima Grover Posted On : January 11th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Ranchi (Graduated 2019)

The placement statistics released by IIM Ranchi are not particularly fake but yes very exaggerated. For example, the recruiters who just recruited 2-3 students a couple of years ago are still added to the list of recruiters. This tactic is employed to show off the brands of top companies.

The CTC is calculated wrongly and also exaggerated. The same role offered by the same company to students of other B Schools is shown at IIM Ranchi to offer a CTC higher to its own students. This reality is wrong and not what the company promised. This has now come into the notice of many and IIM Ranchi Is slowly losing its reputation. The students feel cheated because many students chose Ranchi over other IIMs despite calls from them just because of its placement statistics.

One way to clear the misconception is to check the NIRF placement report. You can see from it that Ranchi lies below Trichy and even Udaipur. So do your part of research before finally choosing IIM Ranchi.

Is a 2.54 CGPA good?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : May 17th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

With the national average GPA around 3.0, a 2.5 GPA is definitely not a good CGPA. A 2.5 GPA basically means that you’ve only scored C-s and D+s in your junior high coursework so far. Such low grades might hamper your admission to colleges. The average GPA for college applicants is more important than the national average. 

Here is how your 2.5 CGPA will affect you in various stages 

Freshman: A 2.5 GPA will make it difficult for you to secure admission to many four-year institutions. Your primary focus should be on how to make the most out of your grades and improve them. Here are a few ways to improve your grades 

  • Take only a few challenging courses and keep your academic palettes as light as possible.
  • Working constantly on assignments that you are weak on 
  • Make your course load as light as possible by taking as few challenging courses as possible.
  • Ask your tutor to evaluate and review your progress regularly.

Sophomore: As a sophomore 2.5 CGPA isn’t much of an issue though your college options might get limited. It’s good that you still have the rest of your junior year to improve your GPA.

What is the best advice a senior gave you at BIT Mesra?

RP
Rishabh Pant Posted On : May 10th, 2021
Studied B.Com from Delhi University

My brother is from BIT Mesra, so I think I can help you by answering this.

  • The most common mistake that first-year students make is joining several of the clubs in the mistaken belief that these decisions would pay off in the long run.
  • My brother was fortunate to have a senior who advised him not to join these clubs, but instead to seek out clubs such as ACM, IEI, UNESCO, and others that have minimal politics and invited students to join the club based on their performance in the various activities of the club.
  • As a CSE student, he followed and participated in ACM activities religiously. This not only helped him improve himself, but it also gave him the self-belief and confidence that everyone needs to succeed in their professional life.

The same senior advised him to maintain a good CGPA throughout the academic year. He also asked him to practice coding.

In short, ACM and/or open-source stuff is the way to go for a CSE guy.

How hard is it to score a 9.8+ CGPA in BITS Pilani?

DR
Deepshikha Roy Posted On : August 5th, 2023
studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

It is not that difficult to maintain a 9.8+ CGPA over the course of a semester, but it is pretty hard in the first semester; you actually need to score 10 points to reach the goal. In the following semesters, you can be among the top 10 with good interaction with teachers during the lectures and a good performance in the class tests. Do not mug up the concepts and theory; rather, try to have a deeper understanding of every topic. And last, but not least, it is important to stay away from distractions and reduce your leisure time.

What are the things which differentiate NIT Surathkal from other NITs?

AC
Arindam Chakraborty Posted On : September 15th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal

Being at an NIT is itself a great deal. The tag of ‘Nitian’ holds lots of value and prestige. I am listing down certain unique elements of my college-

  1. ISRO has set up a Regional Academic Center for Space over here to carry out joint research and development activities in space tech. 
  2. NIT Surathkal has its own private beach. The beach is just 10 minutes away from hostels, and the sunset here is absolutely breathtaking.
  3. There are many core industries located near the campus. You can work as an unpaid intern in them, in case you fail to land a paid internship. This comes as a great relief for students from Civil, Electrical, Metallurgy and Chemical.
  4. The campus contains numerous shops and canteens. An app named “ChangePay” is available exclusively for the campus students to order items, which will then be delivered to your hostel. 
  5. Each year on Republic Day, one of the clubs of NITK (DDFC) organizes a one day fest called BHARAT DARSHAN. It is a competition between students from different states where you can represent your culture through dance, drama, etc. in order to win the title.
  6. There is a virtual lab on campus. There’s also a Centre for System Design (CSD). 
  7. Here are some places you can visit from NITK- Kayaking, Coorg, Goa, Manipal, Malpe beach, Kudremukh, Chikmagalur, Mysore, Bangalore, Ooty, Jog falls, etc. . You can easily rent a two/four wheeler to visit these spots.
  8. NITK hosts its technical fest-ENGINEER, and its cultural fest-INCIDENT during the odd and even semesters respectively. 

These are some of the unique elements of NIT Surathkal which make this college truly special.
