As you will be spending 4 precious years of your life, it becomes very important to know both the bright and shady sides before choosing it. One of my friends is currently studying at IIIT Vadodara and here are some key highlights according to his first-hand experience.
PROS:
CONS:
Overall, there will be no compromise with the quality of education and company at IIIT Vadodara. However, the lack of campus and underwhelming hostels can be a big issue for many of you.
IIIT Vadodara is an Institute of National Importance. This is a tag for which one should compromise certain facilities and take admission here.
Negative factors:
The college does not have a permanent campus or hostel and does not expect to have it in near future.
The new hostel is about 32 km away from this institute campus.
The students have a lot of complaints against the administration, especially the registrar. The administration says that they don’t have enough funds for all the stuff that we require. No one knows where all the money goes.
Positive factors:
One might not get a lot of fun stuff in this college, but if your goal is to be a good Computer Science Engineer at the end of four years then this is the place.
Overall, no matter where students go, it completely depends on the students to get the best out of it.

Mumbai University (MU) college transfer after 1st semester:
college change within Mumbai University is theoretically possible but practically very difficult:
practically: mid-program college transfers within MU are very rare. it's easier to change college at the start of a new academic year (1st semester) than mid-way. contact MU's academic section and your college directly for the most current policy. many students simply complete their current program and apply to better institutions for PG.
Based on the IIT Bombay placement report for the year 2022, out of the 670 students who were eligible for placement, 582 students participated, and 523 of them secured placements, resulting in a placement rate of 90%.
Additionally, IIT Bombay received a total of 511 job offers during the MTech placements for the year 2023. This number showcases the immense interest and demand for IIT Bombay graduates in the job market, with companies keen to recruit the institute's talented and skilled individuals.
Let me clear the general misconception that the level of MSc Maths at BITS Pilani is similar to the 10+2 level. Class 12th Maths is highly analytical while MSc Maths is full of definitions, theories, and proofs. The pedagogy adopted is poor and the majority of students study this subject despite a lack of interest.
For someone who has no interest in Analytical stuff, courses such as ERA, Topology, and Functional Analysis can be very challenging. Some courses which will intrigue you will be of no use because BITS follows the relative grading system where you are graded according to how well you perform as compared to others.
Overall, if you like complex theories and expressions then go for it, but if you too have no interest in complex theories it’s better to not take it.
While many claims that Maths+CS is the best combo, let me tell you that you can take 3–4 Maths courses that help in CS as electives in your CS degree. MSc in Maths is a suitable option only if you are willing to pursue a career in Mathematical research, else the best dual degree option is MSc in Economics. The curriculum is light and knowledgeable.
Following are the books followed by students at the mentioned medical institutions:
| Subjects | AIIMS Delhi | JIPMER |
| Anatomy | BD Chaurasia’s Human Anatomy | Gray’s Anatomy for Students |
| Physiology | Understanding Medical Physiology by R. Bijlani | GK Pal’s Comprehensive Textbook of Medical Physiology |
| Biochemistry |
|
|
Apart from these, the HOD of the respective departments/subjects will also suggest to you some reference books. You should not limit yourself to only these textbooks.
As an MBBS student at JIPMER, I am listing down the academic books followed over here-
This is the complete list of books that we read as MBBS students at JIPMER.
No, in no way is NIT Durgapur better than Jadavpur University. NIT Durgapur's overall ranking by NIRF is 90 out of 200 colleges in India in 2023 while that of Jadavpur University is. JU is placed right after the 7 old IITs and Anna University. Whereas NIT Durgapur is not even in the top 50.
One of my friends got CSE in NIT Durgapur and Electrical Engineering in JU and he chose the latter despite his home being near NIT Durgapur. Here is a brief overview of both the institutes

So unless you are getting a decent branch into 7 IITs, it’s best to go for Jadavpur University.
Jadavpur University is definitely better than IEM. It is ahead In terms of placement, academics, and research. In the 2021 NIRF Rankings, JU ranked 17th for B.Tech. It has outranked a few of the IITs. Whereas, IEM is ranked 191 for B.Tech by NIRF 2021.
In the 2021 placement drive, the placement average for IEM was around 75%. For JU, the placement rate was 100% while the average CTC offered was 19 LPA.
If you have a specific branch in mind you can go for IEM. Otherwise, choosing JU will be better. The preference of choice should be like the following.
JU (CSE/ECE/ME/EE/Chemical/IEE)> IEM CSE> JU (Civil/Production)> All branches of IEM> Rest of the branches of JU.
