Evaluating and choosing colleges based on NIRF rankings is purely illogical as the criteria these ranking bodies consider are unrelated to your degree. Rather, you should consider the facilities provided by the institute and your personal preferences. That being said, IIT Jodhpur is a great choice among the aforementioned institutes. 

  • Placements: IIT Jodhpur placement scenario is like no other new IIT even giving an edge to the old IITs. IIT Jodhpur's average package is INR 17 LPA and the highest is INR 40 LPA. 
  • Infrastructure: IIT Jodhpur has a well-developed and modern infrastructure among all IITs. In fact, its campus design won the award for best campus design and is one of the biggest campuses among all IITs spreading across more than 800 acres.
  • Facilities: The institute boasts well-equipped labs and departments. IIT Patna has the fastest commercially available AI solution in the world, the DGX-2. 
  • Batch size: The small batch size ensures more resources per student. The resources you cannot use at other IITs during your UG years can be easily accessed here. At IIT Patna students working on projects in AI and ML access the computers to conduct research.
  • New branches: IIT Patna likes to keep up with the industry trends and has launched new branches like AI and Data Science, Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Civil Engineering. 
  • Hostel: The hostel facilities are no less and to get single AC rooms and decent food in the mess.
  • Campus life: IIT Patna organizes the biggest cultural fest in the North-Western part of India called Ignus which invites big stars.

I have got a CGPA of 6.5 in my first semester of BTech in IIIT-Hyderabad. Can I improve it till 8.5 for getting an admission offer in a prestigious management institute in IIMs or ISB?

KP
Karthikeyan Palanisamy Posted On : January 30th, 2023
MBA Finance and Strategy, Indian School of Business (2017)

People usually have two opinions regarding MBA admissions. First, the admissions have little to do with numbers, second, CGPA and numbers are extremely crucial. My answer is here to support the second opinion and she’s light on the importance of CGPA.

Don’t decide on your next degree hastily before even completing the first one. You may want to explore more interests before deciding what you want to finally choose. Most people in IIT commit the grave mistake of not focusing on their Academics because they think that the ECE or IT sector is not their cup of tea. They forget that they are among the best computer science minds right now and do not make the best use of this opportunity. Identifying the opportunities offered by the institute is a crucial step before deciding on your future career. Even if after enough reflection you realize that the IT sector is not for you, you may explore other options.

Recently many alumni of IIIT Hyderabad have joined as graduates of IIMs after gaining work experience. But almost every alumnus I have looked up had an excellent CGPA, nothing less than 8.5.

So CGPA is not the only factor but is one of the most important factors during admissions at IIMs. One can get into an IIM even with an average CGPA but having a good CGPA will increase the plethora of opportunities definitely.

Which is better for a B.Tech: Punjab University or Thapar University?

GS
Gari Singla Posted On : August 6th, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, Punjabi University, Patiala (2018)

A few of my friends graduated from both the mentioned institutes and here are some insights regarding the institutes, based on their experience.

If you can afford the fee structure of Thapar university then surely go for it. Also, if you have a good rank then you must try other central government colleges of engineering in Punjab i.e NIT Jalandhar as well SLIET Longowal in district Sangrur, Punjab.

Here is a brief comparison of Punjab University and Thapar University. 

Particulars Punjab University Thapar University
Total fees 70.08 K - 4.26 L 13.23 L
Placement percent 70% 90%
Highest salary INR 20 LPA INR 43 LPA
Average salary INR 7 LPA INR 8 LPA

Else, if you want to take chances in the state government college then give priorities to PAU Ludhiana, GNDU Amritsar after that you can try for Punjabi University Patiala.

Which college is best for CSE- IIT Patna, MNNIT Allahabad or ISM Dhanbad?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : July 13th, 2023

I will refrain from giving you a detailed answer because others have already done so. Rather my explanation will be simple yet impactful 

  • IIT Patna is a new IIT so you can avail the benefits of the IIT tag only and the institute in itself is just average. 
  • MNNIT Allahabad on the other hand has a rich legacy as it’s an old college. It has extensive alumni and is one of the top NITs.
  • ISM, now an IIT, has the combined features of both aforementioned institutes. It’s old and also has an IIT tag attached to it. 

That being said, my preference order among these institutes is, ISM>IIT Patna>MNNIT

Why MDU Rohtak is not a good choice for doing B.Tech?

RY
Ronit Yadav Posted On : October 14th, 2021
B.Tech from Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak (2017)

MDU Rohtak is an average university. Although there are not many opportunities made available to the students you can turn the tables with your caliber and skills. 

If you are a mediocre student with good writing skills then MDU would be the best fit for you. The students tend to write gibberish in the examination halls and yet pass their exams in the first attempt. Assuming that you are an average student, scoring good marks in your exams would not be much of a challenge.

If you are pursuing the course only for procuring a degree then UIET MDU would be a good decision. Your college life here would be quite challenging as you would have to fight for the bare minimum. For lab keys, placement opportunities, better grades and such are a part of this fight.

Otherwise, your passion for the course would be well catered at MDU Rohtak. Make a decision you do not regret later.

HS
Harpreet Saini Posted On : August 3rd, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

You should prepare yourself for the overall year that you are going to have. You will come to know about the academic nitty-gritty on your way. The syllabus is definitely vast as the IITs will help you develop yourself more as a person than a student.

You can find the syllabus for the first year on the official website. You will find the syllabus of different branches on their departmental pages. If you have any specific doubts you can reach out to the current students or alumni of the institute. There is an IIT Madras Freshman Forum.

Can I start my graduation at IGNOU on my 2nd year if I completed my 1st year at another college? Can I do both BSc and another stream degree at IGNOU?

RM
Ram Ratan Mishra Posted On : November 3rd, 2022
BA economics from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

You certainly can. Credit transfer is available through IGNOU.

Credit transfer refers to allowing a student from another university to enroll in IGNOU to complete an equivalent degree based on credit transfer from that university. As a result, the student did not appear in the exam for that course, which was found to be equivalent to and for which appropriate credit was deemed to have been obtained for the purpose of fulfilling the IGNOU requirements for awarding a degree.

Of course, there are some ground rules. You can find it in the IGNOU prospectus or program guide. You can do both at the same time, one with a regular duration and the other with a certificate program. It would, however, be too difficult for you.
