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.
Overall, IIT Jodhpur offers all the necessary resources and opportunities to make your education here worthwhile.
No, NPTEL courses are not compulsory for B.Tech. In AKTU. These courses simply aim at adding qualitative knowledge among the students. In addition, every NPTEL course grants you extra 3 credits. If you are lagging behind in B.Tech. courses then NPTEL courses will definitely help you compensate for the loss.
So it can be said that for. B.Tech. student NPTEL courses are highly recommended but not compulsory.
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.
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.
I will refrain from giving you a detailed answer because others have already done so. Rather my explanation will be simple yet impactful
That being said, my preference order among these institutes is, ISM>IIT Patna>MNNIT
Jamia Millia Islamia provides hostel facilities to B.Tech students. The hostel accommodation is decent. The hostel fees are only INR 6,400. The fees include electricity, water supply, and mess facilities. Hostel rooms are spacious and comfortable. The hostel has wi-fi facilities. The hostel has a gym, a TV room, and a huge hall for studying.
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.

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.
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.
