What is the stupidest thing you have heard in a IIIT Allahabad classroom?

AG
Ankur Goel Posted On : March 16th, 2021
Master of Technology Machine Learning, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2020)

A friend of mine attended IIIT Allahabad and he shared a few anecdotes from his time there with me. His favorite teacher used to be Dr. Sanjai Singh. He used to teach many subjects from Optics to Digital Electronics to Quantum Mechanics. 

  • His favorite topic was ‘Wave Theory’ which he intentionally used to mispronounce as ‘Babe Theory’. This used to be a laughing riot. 

  • Out of 80 students, 7 chose Quantum Physics as their electives. He asked those students if they chose the subject on their own or it was imposed upon them. He also said, ‘They assigned this subject to me, but the syllabus is on MIT level. Let’s try and see if we can complete it.’ 
  • For Digital Electronics he taught conversion from Binary to Decimal to Hexa for 3 weeks. And started a completely new topic afterward.
  • He memorized the whole ASCII table and made everyone note it down from the blackboard by saying there will be questions in the examination from it. 

My friend was very fond of Dr. Singh and still reminisces about those days.

Which college is good for MBA, Nirma University, Symbiosis Pune or Narsee Monjee Mumbai?

AR
Arpit Rane Posted On : May 4th, 2022
studied at Nirma University

NMIMS is the best option among these. The strategic location, excellent placement, and brand value put NMIMS ahead of the other institute mentioned in the question. 

NMIMS is located at the financial hub of Mumbai. The campus is just an hour or an hour and a half drive away from commercial and industrial spaces like Bandra Kurla Complex, Navi Mumbai, South Bombay, etc. Due to the locational advantage students can easily attend industrial visits of reputed organizations like TOI, Pepsico, JPMC, etc.

NMIMS Mumbai placements are way ahead of the B-Schools in the same tier. Even with a batch size of 500+, the institute offers an average CTC of INR 23.07 LPA.

How good or bad is the XIMB campus (both old and new), especially the hostel rooms?

HC
Himani Chawdhuri Posted On : April 17th, 2021
XIMB (2018)

Both the campuses of XIMB have their advantages and disadvantages, but you don’t need to worry about the campus you are gonna get as both are part of the same family.

Hostel Rooms:

  • Life at XIMB is pretty hectic. If you want to do well in your academics, you won’t be spending much time in your room. 
  • However, the new campus has better rooms as compared to the old one. As the new campus was build later. 
  • The rooms at the old campus are pretty good too. Besides, you will have so much on your plate that you will be staying out most of the time. 
  • There is a night mess at the campus that stays open from 12-3 and most of the time it’s crowded. 

Internet:

Broadband service is pretty much good in the new campus, although the old campus still has the best broadband service compared to the new one. Fast services are not in much need as torrents do not work there.

If you have decided to study on either of the campuses, there is no need to withdraw because both campuses will give you equal life experiences and moments that you will cherish forever.

One of my friends studied at NIT Trichy. According to him, their coding culture is really good and consistent. Here are some things I got to know about while discussing:

  • The best description of the coding culture of NIT Trichy is given by the Intranet app that can be accessible by all the NITians. 
  • Then next comes the Spider R & D club. Through this club, you can share your knowledge on a common platform and form a community that can allow them to pursue various courses, blog hosting, and many other features. 
  • The Delta Force is another club of developers and programmers who face new challenges every day that gives them a steep learning experience. 
  • Many of the developers work on various real-time projects that are part of the department fests which gives them hands-on experience. 
  • Also, there is a Robotics and machine intelligence group that is full of budding enthusiasts. They indulge themselves in various real-time projects to gain knowledge and experience. 

Last but not least we can say that the coding culture of NIT Trichy is extremely vast that can help students to develop their skills along with the various experiences.

Yes, you should definitely consider going here and it will be worth the loans and finances you invest into this college. One of my friends has taken admission in IFMR through an education loan. He says the institute is totally worth it. The amount you invest in your education will not only depend on the return on investment but also on growth opportunities.

  • At IFMR, you will see a mix of extensive and rigorous study but great packages and good opportunities. 
  • Once you enter the college, you will realize why the fees demanded from students are so high. 
  • From my knowledge, the place is a nonprofit organization. This means, you will get what you pay. 
  • It has great hostels, faculty, and a mess with all-around growth even if you are a lazy student.

Both placements and the packages offered here are very good. It has a 100% placement record since the college began 40+ years ago. In the 2020 placement drive, the highest CTC offered was INR 13.6 LPA with an average CTC of INR 9.37 LPA. Some of the top recruiters include JP Morgan and Chase, Deloitte, Cognizant, and HDFC Bank.

Now since you are specifically talking about a loan, let me assure you that you can come to IFMR without any hesitation. This college has excellent placements and growth opportunities in market-leading MNCs and you will definitely be able to cover your education loan. In the long run, you will able to make money hands over fists. Your return on investment will be good.

From what you can see above, the packages offered at IFMR match industry standards as well. Therefore, you clearly don’t have to worry. It is value for money and you can take an education loan without worries.

What are some of the best colleges in India for aerospace engineering?

RG
Ritu Ghai Posted On : February 17th, 2021
Aerospace Engineering, Chandigarh University, 2019

Aerospace Engineering covers mainly the construction, design, as well as maintenance aspects of aircraft, missiles, weapon systems, and spacecraft. Major focal points include fuel efficiency, flight safety, impact on the environment, and operating costs.

There are two major fields in aerospace engineering –

  • Aeronautical Engineering - which relates to the air bound vehicles that operate within Earth’s Atmosphere
  • And the second one is Astronautical Engineering - which relates to the vehicles that operate beyond Earth’s Atmosphere.

There are various colleges throughout the country offering Aerospace Engineering. However, a friend of mine recommended Chandigarh University Mohali as it is one of the best universities offering Aerospace Engineering in Northern India.

  • The university offers a four-year course in Aerospace Engineering which includes teaching the students about various important aspects of the course, such as Aircraft Propulsion and Structure, Basics of Space Engineering, Aircraft dynamics and control, Aircraft Vehicle Design, Aerodynamics, and Avionics, etc. 
  • Also, the placement record of Chandigarh University is quite good, as I have been told by some of my friends who have studied there.

Often the students are given tasks that include calculations of the project costs as well as time scales. They are made to work on developing new and innovative technologies and upgrade manuals. Students will have an option to select between the Testing or Maintenance side or Research and Development side based on the knowledge they have acquired in the course after Graduation.

What is the fee for SC/ST students in IIM A, B, and C?

KK
Kunal Kishore Posted On : November 24th, 2022
Studies at Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (Graduated 2017)

There is no concession for SC/ST students in IIM A, B and C. But this is not a major issue.

IIMs offer a lot of financial aid services to financially weak people. In some cases, the entire fee is paid by the college or some part. It depends on the judgment of the panel on the basis of your situation.

All IIMs offer educational loans at a relatively low interest rate. Banks usually consider IIM students as a profitable investment. So rather than worrying about the money, focus more on your goals.

TB
Tithi Banerjee Posted On : April 1st, 2023
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (2021)

If you're considering pursuing an M.Tech in construction management, you might be wondering which institute is better between IIT Madras and IIT Delhi. According to my knowledge cutoff of 2021, IIT Madras has an edge over IIT Delhi for this program.

The reason behind this is that IIT Madras has strong ties with senior management offices of L&T and other major construction firms, which provides a great networking opportunity for students. While the quality of professors and curriculum may be subjective, the proximity of IIT Madras to these companies is not.

If you choose to study at IIT Madras, you can expect to be challenged to excel in your studies, as the program is demanding. However, this challenging curriculum is accompanied by excellent professors who can guide you through the course material. Additionally, IIT Madras has a beautiful campus that can enhance your overall experience as a student.

In summary, if you're looking for a program that can provide you with networking opportunities and excellent professors, IIT Madras is a great option to consider for your M.Tech in construction management.
