How is SVKM's NMIMS Science department, specifically a B.Sc in applied statistics and analytics?
One of my friends is currently doing her Bachelor's in Science, specifically in Applied Science and Statistics from NMIMS- Kharghar campus. She has given me some input which I will be sharing with you.
Frankly, everything so far has been excellent for her. She appreciates the syllabus and all that's taught. The syllabus covers all that one needs to know about Data Science and its basics. My friend is about to get into the 3rd semester after this Corona wave is over.
The basics that were covered in first year were:
- Mathematics - Calculus
- Statistics - Descriptive
- Probability and Distribution
- Economics - Micro and Macro
For coding, she had: "C" language, DBMS, "R", SPSS, SCILAB and Python (from the second year of syllabus)
Actuarial Science and additional projects were added by the time she had reached her second year. You are seen as more experienced when you begin studying Actuarial Science. It is sufficient to cover all your basics that concern Data Science.
Along with a brilliant syllabus arrives a pretty hectic schedule. There are regular exams wherein you will only get a week for preparation. Not only this but there are presentations, assignments and projects to cover and submit before the deadline.
It is going to be a thrilling experience as all the knowledge and information will help you understand how to perform well under any circumstances with perfection.
Which of these is better in IIT Kanpur: BSC in Chemistry/Physics, Earth Science, Biological Science or Engineering?
It depends on what you are interested in and what career you want to pursue. My personal suggestion would be to make IIT Delhi your first preference.
First, if you are a civil services aspirant, get admission into IIT Delhi in any branch and prepare for UPSC through the various coaching institutes available.
If you are somehow not able to make it into IIT Delhi, then invest another year preparing for JEE and aim for a higher rank. Once you are able to make it into IIT Kanpur, again you need to work hard for one year to get a branch change into Civil. You will be competing with geniuses from CS and ME but keep yourself motivated. A CPI of 7+ will make it possible to get a branch change. Attend your classes regularly, complete your assignments on time and you are good to go.
Lastly, if you are unable to change your branch, go for pure sciences like Physics, Chemistry, BSBE, or Earth Science. Out of these Physics and chemistry have a heavy workload and it will be tough to cope with your batchmates. BSBE has pathetic placements. Another option is Earth Sciences which in my opinion is the best considering the light workload and job opportunities. The average CPI is lesser than other branches and most of its courses overlap with Civil Engineering. Basically, Earth Sciences is equivalent to Civil Engineering just without the Engineering element.
How is B.Sc maths faculty at Allahabad University?
I have a few friends from University of Allahabad and according to them, the faculty at Allahabad University is amazing. Moreover, the Maths department is the biggest department in Allahabad University. The teachers are well-experienced and cooperative.
The faculty at Allahabad University is not only famous for Maths but also for Chemistry. And due to this reason, every year you get to see at least 2 to 3 students clear in research exams and further get selected in IITs for research.
You can consider University of Allahabad as a valid option for your B.Sc in Mathematics.
What are the minimum cutoff marks required for studying microbiology hons in Kolkata in colleges like Scottish Church College and Lady Brabourne College?
Based on the trends of last few years, Lady Brabourne College cutoff for Microbiology stays quite high, above 90%. Shortlisted candidates need to go through an interview, in order to get admission at LBC.
The cutoff criteria are similar for Scottish Church College as well. Admission to Scottish Church is based strictly on merit.
What is the admission process for B.Sc. Hons. Botany in Ravenshaw university and what is the cutoff?
Admission to Ravenshaw University (RU) is done purely on a merit basis. Your scores in class 10+2 examinations will determine your selection.
First, fill-up the form and wait for the merit list. If you are selected in the first round, you will be needed to submit the documents with a demand draft of the amount mentioned.
If you are in the waiting list then also you will have to come to the college to submit the demand draft, showing your interest in taking admission. If you do not get selected, your draft will be returned.
The cut-off marks usually change, so nothing could be said for sure. To get some idea about it you can check the previous year's cut off marks in the admission brochure.
Which university will be best for statistics University of Allahabad or University of Lucknow?
Both University of Allahabad and University of Lucknow are good in their own ways. They also consist of their fair share of flaws.
Here’s mentioning some facts about both these colleges I got to know online:
- The faculty of both colleges are really good. They are highly experienced and extremely cooperative.
- Subjects like statistics, geology, zoology, astronomy are considered good by students at University of Lucknow.
- Both have a strong alumni network.
- Many consider Allahabad University better than Lucknow University due to its central status.
But after considering everything, you need to keep one thing in mind that the institution is not the major factor for your success. It is your dedication and hard work that will help you reach your goal.
What is the procedure to calculate the percentage for B.Sc Honours from Patna University? Does it involve only the marks of honours papers or are papers of qualifying nature only involved?
In Patna University you have to calculate the percentage from total marks you obtained in your honours.
If you have four honours papers of 100 marks each and you have got 320 out of 400. Your percentage will be 80%.
In subsidiary papers you only need to pass as they are not included while calculating the percentage.
Among Hindu, Hansraj, Ramjas and Kirori Mal, which college is best for doing a B.Sc (Maths)?
Hindu>Kirori Mal>Hansraj>Ramjas
The required cutoff for North campus colleges is usually higher than the south campus colleges. You can choose the college based on your cutoff.
Is the Ramjas College a good option for statistics (Hons.)?
Yes, Ramjas College is a good option for Statistics (Hons.). It has one of the best faculties when it comes to Statistics. Also you will have a number of seniors who will help you with preparation by sharing previous question papers and even their first hand experience of the examinations.
If you want to secure a job opportunity after graduation with statistics then join the different societies to learn new skills and explore. At the end of your graduation, you will realize that you are a completely different person having a new set of skills. Your placements depend on how good your skills are. Learn about the course thoroughly and you will get many job offers from reputed companies like TCS, Tech Mahindra, etc. Students can also opt for higher studies, if their scores are good.
How is the integrated M.Sc in Pondicherry University?
Some of my friends studied at Pondicherry University. According to them, they offer three Integrated M.Sc programs –
- Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science
- Physics, Chemistry and Applied Geology
- History, Sociology and Political Science
You will have to choose from these three disciplines only and then choose the major subject among them.
The advantages of the course and university are listed below.
- You can exit the course after three years with a B.Sc degree.
- The syllabus is light even though there are three major subjects and thus you can take up any additional courses you like.
- The university offers freedom in terms of uniform, timetable, and everything else while many of the undergraduate colleges still have school-like rules.
- You can study an undergraduate course from a university which is pretty rare.
Studying 5 years in an Arts stream is difficult and should be reconsidered. The best course is Physics, Chemistry, and Applied Geology. Doing M.Sc in Computer Science is also not a good idea.
