AM
Alisha Mukharjee Posted On : July 7th, 2022
Lived in Pune, Maharashtra, India

CSE, LNCT Bhopal is better than ACropolis Indore. It offers better academics and placements. LNCT Bhopal placement is pretty good for CSE. Students of the branch usually get an average CTC of around INR 4-5 LPA. While the highest CTC goes up to INT 19.4 LPA. Amazon, Cognizant, VMware, TCS, etc. are some of the major recruiters.

As a city, Bhopal is cheaper than Indore and more student-friendly.

How is the food at NIT Trichy mess and nearby locality?

AB
Animesh Banerjee Posted On : March 23rd, 2021
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India (2020)

Mess food at NIT Trichy is decent enough. My friend is a student there. From what I heard, I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. There are separate North Indian and South Indian messes ( both Veg and Non-Veg) for the students of 2nd year onwards. Also, you can change your mess after the end of a month.

  • Meals are provided 4 times a day as breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner. You also get a facility of taking extra varieties of food items by paying some extra money other than normal mess fees. Extra items include Chicken Biriyani, Chicken Fried Rice, Chicken 65, Mushroom Masala, Kadai Paneer, Gobi Manchurian, etc.
  • Usually, messes are run by different caterers. And their future depends on the feedback given by students. You will be expected to give feedback every month without fail regarding food quality, quantity, and cleanliness.
  • Also, there is a very strict mess committee under the supervision of the Hostel Convenor and Warden. Student representatives have the ultimate power to change the mess menu every month according to your demand. You’ll often see them making surprise visits inside kitchens to ensure hygiene and food quality.
  • You can also get your food from canteens with superior food quality. NIC, Chennai Bekary, Neelkesh, IIM Canteen, Night Canteen, Avin, Vasantham, Buhari Canteen are quite popular among students. 
  • There are also some food joints outside the campus. During every fest, food coupons are provided to you which gives you an opportunity to taste from food stalls outside, including KFC, Dominos, MacDonald, etc.

All in all, mess and nearby localities are enough to provide you ample food varieties. Whether you belong to any part of the country, you can get food of your choice easily.

How was your first day at AIIMS Delhi?

PA
Puneet Aarya Posted On : May 30th, 2023
MBBS from All India Institute of Medical Sciences

My friend shared her first-day experience at AIIMS Delhi which came out to be extremely unexpected and weird. She reached her department (surgery) and the professors briefly introduced the field. A professor guided the students throughout the campus. He enquired about their accommodation and told them they have to stay at the hospital 24/7.

He went on to tell how hectic their lives are about to become and there will be days they won't be able to get any sleep or food. He advised the students to always carry their food and stay hydrated. 

He told them about the AST or the AIIMS Standard Time which is 15 minutes ahead of the entire world. He further directed the students to the Ward and introduced them to the Senior Resident. On reaching the ward, 3 seniors were assigned to the group to guide them further. The students were assigned work that continued till evening.

My friend's roommate asked him if he wanted to join him for a campus tour to which he eagerly agreed. The walk through the campus was never ending as there were so many things to see. They spotted a barber salon on the campus and a coffee spot. There was also a 24/7 library and a late-night ice cream tuckshop.

Overall first day at AIIMS is unpredictable with a lot of surprises that might leave you anxious. But the excitement of making it into the dream college overshadows all such anxieties!

What should be my GATE rank to be in NITIE, Mumbai?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : May 15th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Admission to NITIE includes 2 steps, getting shortlisted for GDPI based on the GATE score and then clearing the GDPI. The GATE score cut-off lies in the range of 650–700 depending upon the no. of applications. Getting PGDIE/PGDMM/PGDPM as your branch of post-graduation depends upon your profile.

The cutoff is the minimum GATE 2023 score on the basis of which candidates are shortlisted for the selection process. However, shortlisting does not guarantee admission. The final selection is based on the performance of the candidates in the group discussion and personal interview as well as past academic performance. 

You can get an idea of the NITIE GATE Cutoff 2023 based on last year's cutoff.

Who are some of the best professors at Madras Institute of Technology (MIT)? And why?

NS
Navdeep Sindhu Posted On : April 29th, 2021
B.E., Instrumentation Engineering, Madras Institute of Technology, Tamil Nadu, India (2019)

My friend studied at MIT in 2013 and he says there are many reputable names from different departments like Prof. K Jeyaraman in the Aeronautical Engineering department, or Dr. PK Kanagasabapathy from the Instrumentation Engineering department, or Dr. A Rajadurai who was the former dean of MIT- he was an expert in Metallurgy and is one of the best professors owned by MIT. 

Nevertheless, because my friend has his personal favorites, I'd write about them here -

  • Late Prof. VK Narayanan was dedicated to his profession and his students. His room was next to the internet room on the admin floor. My friend used to converse with him on any topic necessary.
  • It was because of him that he discovered KB Chandrasekar, the same KBC of the AU KBC research centre where my friend is an employee now. He forsook TCS to join there.

There have been innumerable instances where my friend was guided and helped by prof KVN. 

  • One such incident is of the day when someone from the All India Radio came to him to introduce a new program to him on Information Technology. 
  • He had approached him to ask him for lectures on computers to be relayed on AIR, and Prof Mathiazhagan had already done the first episode; but Prof KVN calmly made him understand that he should give such opportunities to young students.
  • He pointed at my friend and highlighted his erudition on knowledge to do with the internet, which landed him with 20+ episodes.
  • Not only this, he once helped a student to apply to foreign universities and she landed in a good US university, one more student with his help in association with my friend got a job with Blackberry and now lives in San Francisco. 
  • Once my friend wanted to build a website for MIT and guess who provided all the support - Prof. KVN did. He learned HTML, found a domain name, and created official MIT emails for all the staff members.

He had been a professor, friend, and guide to my friend.

How is college life in IIT kharagpur?

AC
Anumita Chatterjee Posted On : March 22nd, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IITK)

There are a number of things that distinguish IIT Kharagpur from other IITs. My answer entails such attributes only.

  • Movies at subsidized rates: There are only 2 cinemas in the whole of Kharagpur, the better one obviously being inside the campus. As a result, many district people come and the fee is INR 100/- semester irrespective of how many movies you watch. This crazy deal attracts many.
  • Fastest and unlimited DC++:  This is a software that allows sharing of files over LAN. This amazing software makes it possible for you to download a file faster than copying it from someone. A variety of things can be downloaded like books, question papers, software, games, movies, TV Series, etc. There are no download limits too unlike some other IITs.
  • Illumination: This is a unique phenomenon one can witness in IIT KGP during Diwali. Each of the 20 hostels participates in a competition wherein the students of that hostel have to portray a scene/message using Diyas. Rangoli was also made in this competition.
  • Bond with seniors: IIT KGP has a harmonious ambiance and seniors are extremely friendly and approachable. There is this trend wherein seniors write to their juniors about how they feel, and any advice on scrapbooks, chart sheets, etc.
  • Night routine: The students have crazy sleeping habits with some of them only sleeping for an hour or two at around 7 am only to wake up at 8:5O to rush to classes.
  • Mess Food. The food, especially North Indian food is decent and not like that served in IIT MG or IITM. The quality of the food has seen a steady improvement with a 4 meal plan per day. The mess serves Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks, and Dinner. 
  • Canteen: IIT KGP has 20 hostels (14 boys, 6 girls) and every hostel has its own canteen which runs from 3-4 AM every day. Some halls even serve their own specialty.
  • College Fests: A number of cultural and technical fests are held at IIT KGP. Spring Fest is the Cultural Fest of IIT Kharagpur which is the biggest festival in eastern India whereas Kshitij is the Technical Fest of IIT Kharagpur, Asia’s Largest Technological-Management Fest.
  • Eateries: Inside IIT KGP you can find Subway, CCD, Rooster, and Baskin Robbins offering food at affordable prices whereas outside you can find Dominos Pizza and a restaurant Flavors.

Life at IIT KGP is filled with fun and exciting activities.

What is the difference between BE and B.Tech?

DR
Deepika Roy Posted On : August 26th, 2022
studied at IIT ISM Dhanbad

The fundamental difference between BE and BTech is the way these courses are delivered. Contrary to the popular misconception, BE isn’t just theory oriented. Both BE and BTech coursework includes theory as well as practicals. But a BTech offers a more in-depth and advanced level study of a particular field. While BE covers the fundaments. 

There are no such differences between BE and BTech, other than the course pattern. These two courses are considered equivalent. In terms of preference, your institute will matter more compared to your degree. IIT students certainly enjoy some advantages in terms of placements and higher studies.

What is the process to get transcripts from Amity University, Noida?

Kirti Goyal Posted On : April 15th, 2021

My mother is a teacher at Amity university and my brother is also studying here. So perhaps I can help you with this.

It will take time to get a transcript from there. You may either go to the institute by yourself or give an authority letter to a friend or family member who can collect the official transcripts on your behalf.

Your documents must be sealed in an envelope and stamped or signed by the required authentication officer at the institute.

Make a note of your WES reference number as who knows maybe you need it for further process as well.

It will be better for you to contact the NV documentation rather than depend on the university. In a short period of time, they provide you with a transcript. Their work is very professional, and their prices are also fair. You can go there.

Can I get NIT Goa with OBC rank around 11000?

ST
Shantanu Trivedi Posted On : March 16th, 2023
Studied at the National Institute of Technology, Goa

It's difficult to predict your chances of getting admission to the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Goa with an OBC rank around 11,000 as the cutoff for admission to the institute varies each year and depends on several factors, including the number of applicants, the difficulty level of the exam, and the availability of seats in each program.

However, based on the previous year's cutoff trends, it is unlikely that you will be able to get admission to NIT Goa with an OBC rank around 11,000. Typically, candidates who secure a rank within 5,000 have a higher chance of securing a seat in the institute.

It's important to note that meeting the cutoff score is only one of the eligibility criteria for admission to NIT Goa. The institute considers other factors such as the candidate's academic performance, the number of applicants for a program, and the reservation policies, among others, for final admission decisions.

You can check the official website of NIT Goa to get the previous year's cutoff scores for the OBC category and get an idea of your chances of admission. Additionally, you can also keep an eye on the institute's admission notifications and cutoff scores to stay updated on the admission process.
