Who is/was the most inspiring senior at IIT Mandi?
Swapnil Sharma, a CS student at IIT Mandi and Shreyas Bapat of first year. He's a man who did Gsoc in Open Astronomy, placed around 40 lakh packages in Code Nation, and still contributes to SunPy for Summer of Code in Space even after placement. He had been earning freelancing since his first year. His belief in the productiveness of time usage is awesome, and that would continue to inspire students throughout their college life.
Likewise, Shreyas is a kind of person who would not want to include some points in his resume that others would find lucky to have; because this guy has done a lot of hell! He gave a flash talk at PyCon India, where eminent personalities like the creator of the Pandas Python Library were present. He has created his own organization, Einstein, which is selected for Socis and can be selected for Gsoc next year, and Shreyas is in charge of the 3rd year Btech students at IIT Bombay and Georgia Tech University. Although his branch is electrical, he is probably one of the best astro-python developers in the world.
These two seniors are the most inspiring seniors of IIT Mandi, and they both are also ex-coordinators of Space Technology and Astronomy Cell, (STAC) which is an internationally renowned Astronomy club at IIT Mandi.

For CSE, BITS Hyderabad stands behind BITS Pilani and BITS Goa. Here are some reasons for the same-

How big of a gamble is it to join NICMAR as a fresher?
NICMAR is a non-profit organization offering PG construction management certifications to students. It is equivalent to an MBA degree, but students earn only a certificate. It might turn out to be a drawback.

Are hostels currently available for all the students in NIT Raipur?
One of my friends is from this Institute, so I am quite aware of the situation. The hostel at the campus is basically available for only 30% of students and the rest of the students stay in a PG or private hostel or in nearby localities.
Hostels seats are allocated on a first come first serve basis. My friend was a little late for the admissions, so she had no choice but to stay in a private hostel. The monthly rent for the room and the mess facility is approximately 5000. The total fee for 1 year is 55,000 for a private hostel.
My friend belongs to an SC category, so even with the lower pointer, she was able to get a seat at Campus Hostel in the second year. The annual fee of the Campus Hostel is around 25,000, which should be paid in two installments (one in each semester).
Admission procedure for girls hostel:
- Recently, there has been a major change in the admission procedure. Now there are no reserved seats for the SC/ST/OBC category students. The seats are allocated only on the basis of grades.
- This step was taken because few Girls filed a complaint that they are not getting campus hostel just because they belong to General Category.
- In time: Girls are not allowed to go out after 8 pm.
Boys Hostel Admission procedure:
- For Boys the admission procedure is similar to girls, there is no reservation of seats.
- In time: For boys in a time of hostel is 11 p.m.
Hostel facilities should be available for all the students on campus like other IITs/most NITs. This will also provide a safe and good environment for students.
Why should I join Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College?
A senior of mine also used to be a student of Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College (JGEC). This college is usually chosen when you have not got a satisfactory ranking in AIEEE, IIT.
An engineering job at the conclusion of four years is defined by 60% ability, 30% luck, and 10% other characteristics. Colleges and institutions can only do so much in this regard. So why choose a private college instead of opting for a Government college. This will let you save some money. Some other features are:
- There is ample scope for you to inculcate in things of your interest.
- Interactions with the seniors can help you make connections in the future. They are very friendly.
- You will be dealing with the best of equipment, like sports equipment, etc. Everything is funded by the government.
- You can also pack your bags and go on a little trip to North Bengal to the hills.
- The facilities in the college are very good. The workshops and labs are excellent.
- Books passed down from the seniors would be enough. You will also find books in the library so many students do not have to even buy the books.
Apart from these, the college also holds a fest which is one of the best in North-East India.
