How is the life of a middle class student at the Manipal Institute of Technology?

SV
Shyam Verma Posted On : September 8th, 2023
Computer Science, and Engineering, MIT Manipal

I am assuming that you wish to know if the crowd at MIT is friendly. As a middle class student, even I was afraid of being left out while joining MIT. I feared that the students might have hierarchies of sorts, based on wealth and social status. 

As an introvert, it was especially difficult for me to approach my batchmates. But the cultural diversity of my batch made me curious to know each one of the students. 

To overcome my hesitation, I decided to go and talk to my batchmates during breaks. I admit that it's quite nerve wracking to approach a stranger and talk to them.

I was pleasantly surprised that everyone was very sweet and welcoming. None was rude or arrogant, instead, they were as willing as me to drive the conversation ahead. This gave me so much confidence that I kept increasing my network beyond my batch. 

Earlier, I looked at people as mere strangers. Now I noticed how different each person was. Everyone had their own stories and passions. 

Through my experience I wanted to tell you that you’ll meet some amazing people at MIT. Manipal Institute of Technology offers great exposure and personality development to its students. You won’t find groupism based on wealth. So, irrespective of your background, you’ll have a good time over here.

What is the worst thing about IIM Calcutta?

SJ
Siddhesh Joglekar Posted On : November 28th, 2022
MBA in Finance and Marketing, Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (Graduated 2011)

One lesser-known fact about IIM Calcutta is the unhygienic conditions caused by the dirty lakes surrounding it. Mostly this truth is underestimated. But the reality is the pictures of the lakes at IIM Calcutta are misleading. They are nothing near surreal or beautiful. If anything they are the brooding ground of mosquitoes. Snakes and other poisonous creatures are also present here. Anyone who comes in contact with its water is bound to get skin infection or other ailments.

These lakes have been used as a marketing element for IIM Calcutta and it’s shocking that people believe such lies.

Can a dropper get into CSE IIT Bombay?

SB
Sumit Bose Posted On : March 20th, 2023
IIT Bombay (2019)

I have seen a dropper get into CSE IIT Bombay. You can get into CSE either by staying among the top 50 or by branch change. While being among the top 50 may seem difficult, the reality is it indeed is achievable. I am going to narrate a real incident that will help you understand better.

There was an aspiring engineer Divyansh Srivastava who got into BITS Pilani on the first attempt with an Integrated MSc course. He wasn’t satisfied and decided to sit for JEE again. This time his rank was 904 and could have easily taken CSE at Pilani but instead, he chose to take risks and was able to get into IIT Bombay Chemical. Still, he wasn’t satisfied and decided to take one last risk and miraculously got CSE, IIT Bombay.

The main moral from this incident is that once you believe in yourself you can almost achieve anything.

How is life at VMMC for a med student?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : September 25th, 2023

The life of a medical student at VMMC is very hectic and full of chaos. 

  • It's one of the largest and oldest hospitals in India with Asia's largest OPD so you cannot ignore the heavy crowd during the day. However, after 4, the crowd subsides and you will see the campus is actually beautiful.
  • Its central location has its pros and cons. You have many places to shop around and hang out with friends. But the flip side is it has less area for sports facilities although there are badminton and volleyball courts.
  • There aren’t any strict attendance policies and the academic workload depends on you alone. Some prefer studying right before exams while some can be seen always engrossed in studies. 
  • The college has very approachable and helpful professors.
  • The Colleen promotes extracurriculars through cultural societies like Dance, Street play, Music, Fashion, etc. 
  • The mess operates 24/7 and serves fresh and hygienic food. Girls’ mess is much better than boys.
  • The seniors are very friendly and guide you throughout your first year. They give you books, and previous year's papers and also help you with every trivial matter.
  • The college is ragging free. 

Overall, the college environment is peaceful with occasional fun activities.

How is CMC Ludhiana for an MBBS?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : September 25th, 2023

CMC Ludhiana is one of the top private medical colleges of the country well known for its excellent education and opportunities in the medical field. Here are a few highlights of the institute

  • The learning experience is excellent in the first year and every teacher will motivate you for the better. They will cater to your doubts individually and conduct discussions along with regular weekly or monthly tests. By the third year, clinical subjects begin and professors become more busy. The written tests aren’t very regular in the last two years.
  • Students are exposed to clinics from the second year onwards. They witness a huge patient load and get to see outpatient and inpatient management of patients across various clinical departments. 
  • Here, students have foster families, that help maintain better relationships with faculty and peers. They are extremely approachable and make your college life better.
  • The infrastructure needs to be worked upon. Some departments of the hospital are well equipped, but the classroom facilities aren’t at par with the best colleges. 
  • The extracurricular culture is average and organizes an annual musical. Additionally, students get the opportunity to present their research at various conferences or go for an academic exchange through student organizations such as AMSA-India.
  • CMC Ludhiana provides a tremendous opportunity for undergraduates to take part in huge research projects.

Overall, CMC Ludhiana is an excellent medical college with some of the best facilities and opportunities offered to its students.

Is pursuing a dual MSc B.E. in BITS Pilani tough?

SD
Shruti Dasgupta Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
Student at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

Yes, pursuing a dual MSc BE in BITS Pilani is a very tough and tedious journey. One of my friends ended up going for a dual degree and considers it a complete waste of time. Here is a synopsis of the entire journey.

  • First year: The first year is the deciding time for your BE degree so dualities have to work hard and score a high CGPA. 
  • Second year: This year is relaxed as you will be taught only the courses from your first degree (MSc Degree).
  • Third year: It's from this year that your dual degree flaws will start becoming prominent. While the single-degree students will be busy with humanities electives, you will be busy with compulsory discipline electives in both your degrees. This is also the year that will make you realize which degree you want to pursue professionally. However, by this time you will have 2 degrees to pursue so you won’t be able to give the degree you like enough time. 
  • Fourth year: This year again is very challenging especially if you do PS for two semesters. You will have to study eight courses without any breaks. Because of this your other degree will suffer and result in poor CG. Your PS chances will be affected in turn that depends on your grades. 
  • Fifth year: The fifth-year welcomes the most dreaded thesis. While your counterparts will have to do two discipline electives and another two humanities, you will be doing a 15 credits course alongside sitting for placements. According to the new rules, it is compulsory for students to do a thesis in one degree and PS in the other. Usually, students prefer doing PS in the degree of their choice so a thesis in the degree of not your choice is very difficult.

Overall, I feel that a dual degree is a waste of time and you should reconsider your decision if you are planning to get one.
