What is the average package at IIT, Kharagpur for applied geology?

SG
Senjuti Gupta Posted On : March 22nd, 2023
studied at IIT Kgp

The average packages of “Applied Geology” or any other branch apart from CS, ECE, EE, and MnC are highly misleading as they include both core and non-core jobs with non-core jobs forming the majority.

In reality, IIT campus placements offer very few core jobs in certain departments and Applied Geology Is one of them. So most of the students tend to go for Non-Core jobs related to their field of interest like Coding, Finance, Data Analysis, etc. The number of companies offering core jobs in departments such as Mechanical or Chemical is very low. So out of the entire batch, only toppers are offered core jobs while the rest go for non-core jobs. The placement percentage is a combination of both these jobs and thus cannot tell you specifically about the placements of that particular department.

On an average batch size of 25-30 students, only 4-5 get core jobs in Applied Geology while the rest get non-core jobs. So your skills and abilities matter a lot during such branch placements. The median salary of Applied Geology is around INR 15 LPA and some top recruiters include Capgemini, Cipla, Cognizant, Genpact, IBM, ICICI, Just dial, Oil India Limited, YesBank, and more.

How do I prepare for BHU UET Bsc Maths (hons)?

SV
Shirsti Varma Posted On : November 11th, 2021
Bachelor in Physics from Banaras Hindu University (2018)

To score well in BHU UET, you need to have your basics clear. Go through all the chapters in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics from NCERT books and your textbooks at least once. 

  • Go through the previous year’s questions from the BHU website. You will get to know the question trends and also get an idea of the chapters to focus on. They often repeat questions.
  • The questions are not that hard. You can easily attempt 10% of the questions. 60% of the questions require fundamental knowledge of the subjects. Only around 30% of the questions will be difficult to solve. But you don’t need to worry about the 30% difficult question. You can easily score enough marks from the rest of the paper.
  • Time management is crucial during the examination. The allotted time is 150 min. Which can seem short, if you don’t plan accordingly. First, you should attempt Chemistry questions. These are easy to solve and require less time. Then you can move on to Physics and Mathematics. Don’t stress too much on the questions that you don’t know the answer to. Try to score at least 120 out of 150 in the Chemistry section. 
  • Your focus on class 11 and 12th syllabus should be 40/60. 

The required cutoff for the general candidates is around 190-200. So, try to score 240 to get your preferred combination.

SB
Sriparna Banerjee Posted On : August 14th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Rourkela

I am well aware of the situation of NIT Rourkela Integrated MSc in Physics since my sister is a student there. She shared her horrible experience and does not recommend it to anyone at all.

  • The faculty pool comprises underqualified professors with zero experience and will to reach. They are unapproachable and don’t pay heed to the students' doubts.
  • The curriculum is very rigid and students are offered no flexibility in choosing their electives. Rather they are forced to choose subjects that are only relevant to experimental physics.
  • Students are required to get the signature of the Faculty Advisor, HOD, Asst. Registrar, and Dean even for the smallest official work. 
  • The place limits your talents and ambitions so much that all your dreams and talents will be crushed.

My sister regrets wasting 5 precious years on this course and advises everyone to refrain from joining it.

I'm doing PCME in 11-12th grade with no economics background. Can I pursue economics honours from symbiosis or any other college for undergrad?

SV
Shweta Vashisht Posted On : June 27th, 2021
Political Science Honors at Jadavpur University (2019)

Yes, you can undeniably pursue economics honors from any college, even if you didn’t have Economics in your 12th. The first semester in economics ug degree is dedicated to the basic and fundamental understanding of the subject, which is also taught in school. Thus, even if you have not studied the aspects of it in school, the college you are part of will certainly cover the topics you still have to know about.

But if you are planning to do a course in Economics, it will be better to make yourself familiar with the basic concept of the course. Pick up some books on Economics after you are done with your entrance examinations if you are planning on giving any. My friends with Economics degrees suggested the following books that you can begin with.

  • Introductory Microeconomics by Deepashree (taught in the 12th standard)
  • Introductory Macroeconomics by Deepashree (for the 12th standard again)
  • Principles of economics by Mankiw (this is taught in the college for the first semester or anytime during the first year)

These are to name a few. You can likewise add on more.

My sister’s friend could not score a good rank in engineering but was lucky enough to get a seat in BHU UET for Maths Hons.

She shared her experience that this was the best decision of her life as she felt unique. She made a lot of memories and befriended many talented people.

She lived her college life to her fullest extent. From hostels to backlogs, she experienced all the fun. Despite creating hundreds of memories, today her batchmates are in IITs, 10% in IISc Banglore, 15% in IISERs, and 10% in IIMs. The others are booming in their own fields.

How can I do BSc Mathematics major through IGNOU?

SS
Santosh Singh Posted On : October 19th, 2022
B.Sc. Mathematics Honours from IGNOU (Graduated 2017)

If you are willing to get admission at IGNOU for B.Sc. Mathematics you can follow the following steps:

  • choose minimum 40 credits worth of Mathematics electives

  • you have to choose/opt your Mathematics electives according to year wise scheme i.e some electives in first year,some in second year and rest are in third year.

  • Remember you cannot opt a 3rd year elective course in first year or second year. You can opt a first year course in second year or third year. Similarly a second year course in the third year. This is why there are less than 24 credit options of Mathematics electives.

  • Online registration system eliminates the already selected electives automatically. This is the reason you don’t get MTE1 or MTE6 etc. options in your second year reregistration options list.

MTE 06 is the toughest paper so try opting other electives.
