Do IIIT Hyderabad students (BTech, DD, MTech, MS and PhD) regret not being one of the IITs?
No, I don’t think so. To be honest, my friend who is an IIIT Hyderabad student is much happier and more satisfied than his friends at IITs. He claims that he is in a better position compared to many of his CS and Non-CS counterparts at the IITs. IIIT Hyderabad certainly renders better opportunities in terms of research paper output, coding competitions performances, placements, and Internships. So he is actually grateful for giving up his seats in IITs for a seat in IIIT. In fact, some of his friends had to go to non-CS branches in top IITs just because their ranks were not good enough for IIIT Hyderabad CS.
I hope this made it clear that people joining IIIT Hyderabad have no regret looking at their IIT counterparts whatsoever. If anything, they are grateful for the rare opportunity.
What is the percentage of student passes after revaluation in VTU?
I have a few friends from VTU, and according to their experience, very few people pass after revaluation. It completely depends on the person that will correct your answer script.
I know people who needed 5 marks to pass but didn’t get it. I also know people who needed more than 10 marks and eventually got it. So, it’s better to apply for revelation irrespective of how many marks you need.
How was your experience at IIT Bombay during M.Tech?
My friend stayed at IIT Bombay only for a month but her experience was so amazing she couldn’t stop praising the institute. Some core points from the overall experience are:
- An orientation is conducted to introduce the basics of the MTech program for two days. Your seniors will interact with you and give you advice. A presentation related to the course curriculum will be played to deliver the necessary information.
- The first semester is pretty hectic as students are not used to the rigor and life at IIT Bombay.
- Students take courses worth 60 credits. Each subject carries 6 credits. During the first semester, students usually take 4 subjects with Software Lab being compulsory
- You are allotted 2 weeks to make a choice of 4 subjects. During these 2 weeks, you can attend lectures on any subject, interact with students and decide your elective accordingly.
- The institute offers some audit courses also wherein you have to just attend classes and not give exams. These are meant solely for learning.
- Attendance is taken through biometric ID cards.
- Classes usually start around 8: 30. The campus is so huge that most people rent bicycles or avail taxis that roam inside the campus.
- The class experience varies from subject to subject. All students have a good idea about most subjects since they have come through GATE.
- The faculty is really good apart from a few cases. Machine learning was taught by Preethi Jyothi, a P.hd from Ohio university. OS was taught by Mythili vutukuru, P.hd from MIT. Most of the teachers were cooperative and experienced.
- The most hectic part of IIT Bombay life is the culture of regular assignments. One is expected to write around 1000 or more lines of code each week and should not be copied from anywhere. They have software for detecting plagiarism. Strict action is taken if caught for plagiarism.
- Hostel facilities include double occupancy rooms with a decent LAN connection.
- The mess food is average and most students start going to the canteen after a few days.
Life at IIT Bombay is definitely filled with fun and thrill and you will experience a roller coaster of emotions throughout m
Is BHU better for UPSE preparation
Banaras Hindu University or BHU is not just better but it’s the best for UPSC preparation. There are many examples of students passing the UPSC exam from this university. One such example is Sachin Kumar. He was a student of MA (Political Science) and managed to top the CAPF exam without any extra tuition. His delegation combined with the university’s quality education helped him climb the ladder.
I have mentioned some pros of the university to explain why you should go for BHU:
-
Hostels- The best thing about BHU has to be its amazing hostels with great facilities and surrounded with lush green beauty. The ambiance is perfect for the preparation of any kind of exam. The AND hostel is one of the best. The hostels are extremely affordable around INR 80 per month.

-
Social activities- The hostels at BHU celebrate all the festivals which bring together students from different communities. This helps develop an emotional bond and makes hostel life memorable.
All in all, BHU is the right choice for UPSC preparation. You will not regret your decision.

How do I, a prefinal year student doing EEE, get a summer research internship with IISC Bangalore in DSP, related particularly to “compressed sampling”?
You can directly apply for the summer research internship program at the official website of IISc Bangalore. Another way to secure a summer internship at IISc Bangalore is by direct email.
The professors at IISc receive numerous internship applications. Many of them hire interns much before your mail gets to them. Professors hire interns 2-3 months before the start of the internship period.
One of my seniors interned at IISc Bangalore. According to her-
- SOP counts a lot. Try to sound very convincing about how much you love that research area.
- The recommendation letter format offered by IISc contains an optional column to send the key publications of the professor who is giving you the LOR. Start the application in advance and coax your professor into giving the key publications of his research duly signed and attested.
- CGPA holds a lot of importance. Make sure to score well.
- A good courier service must be used to send the required papers. Track the documents. Your profile and write-up might be very good but unless they need to reach the right place.
If you are interested in research in compressed sampling and the institute is not your priority, you can also apply for international internships such as DAAD, MITACS, SN BOSE, and Charpak France. There are numerous foreign universities involved in extensive research on compressed sampling.
How do I get a summer internship in IISc Bangalore?
The only way to get a summer internship at IISc is through IAS (Indian Academy of Science). And you need to be in at least 2nd year to apply for it. Once you have applied, your application goes through professors whose departments are in need of interns.
Inters usually receive a stipend in return for their contributions. The professors expect you to be skillful and make big contributions. You can gain some prior knowledge related to the project before going for it. These internships are not for short time periods as the minimum time period for an internship is around 6 months.
How is the hostel and mess food at NIT Raipur?
The hostel facilities of NIT Raipur are good. The hostel rooms are two-seater and 3-seater. Hostels - A, B, D, and F for first-year students. Hostel E and G are for first-year girls. A and B are specious. D and F are a little congested in comparison. The institute provides all the basic facilities.
Mess food is decent. Mostly north-Indian food is provided. Everyone gets used to the mess food after a while.
Should I opt for Chemical Engineering at NIT Surathkal or at NIT Warangal?
Since you are looking for the same branch, I think you should give preference to the institutes. That being said, it’s not a brainer that NIT Warangal is much better than NIT Surathkal in terms of academics, job opportunities, and campus life. In fact both the colleges give tough competition to each other since they are among the top 3 NITs.
The only reason I am giving more preference to NIT Warangal is because it has a branch change policy which NIT Surathkal does not. So if after studying Chemical Engineering you realize that it’s not your cup of tea, you can opt for a branch change. However, it’s important to note that this process is neither easy nor tough.
One of my friends studied at NIT Warangal and told me that every year many chemical and biotech students slide to branches like ECE, CSE, Mechanical, etc.
So both are great options with NIT Warangal having a slight upper hand over NIT Surathkal.
