Should I do an online BSc data science and programming course from IIT Madras? Will I get placement after it?
My friend has enrolled himself for B.Sc. Data Science and Programming course from IIT M. He carefully accessed the course curriculum.
According to him, the course requires at least 4 to 6 hours of study each day.
One can not simply study it on the weekends and cope up. My friend has a tight working schedule, and therefore, he is considering leaving this course.
But if you can devote time for the course each day, then this course will definitely benefit you. The placement statistics are not very clear but the curriculum is rigorous and so you will learn new skills that will come handy during job search.
How hectic is AFMC Pune?
The level of hecticness at AFMC Pune or any medical college actually depends on the kind of crowd you are surrounded with. While most believe that your life becomes peaceful once the first term is over, I negate this opinion because, in reality, you will experience the most hectic life during those initial days. Once again, here, I answer what I have experienced.
A close friend shared his experience of the initial days at AFMC.
- On the first evening, he along with his batchmates were summoned by the fresher NCO. He informed everyone about the rules and regulations they were required to follow.
- The first day began with early morning PT before which everyone had shaved off their face and worn the PT uniform. A headcount confirmed the attendance and they were asked to run from U block to Otilia Mascarenhas Sports Ground.
- They were then required to change and assemble to go to Central Cadets Mess in just 15 minutes. After that, they headed to their lectures.
- After classes were over, they went back to U block and were called for evening games an hour later. Games were followed by dinner.
- After dinner, the students assembled for the last task of the day, orientation.
- After the orientation, their mess warden addressed them and they were finally dismissed.
Overall, the fresher term is the most hectic time at AFMC also because you haven't adjusted to the environment. But slowly the burden is reduced and you start enjoying your college life.

How much time does JNTUK take to process an OD application?
The time taken by JNTUK to process your OD application solely depends on your luck. My brother had applied at the end of the year around December and did not receive it even after two months while his friend applied for it quite late and received it through post before him. His application status showed pending so he decided to call JNTUK but they refused to help him. He then took his fee receipt and filled out an application at the campus itself and to his relief got the OD within 15 days.
So, try your luck and apply soon as the fees are increased for every convocation.
How did Kritika Jain from IIT Bhubaneshwar managed to clear both IIM Ahmedabad and UPSC simultaneously(in her first attempt) considering both have completely different syllabus?
Although the two entrance exams CAT and UPSC have an entirely different syllabus. Most of you do not accept that CAT is a test that just checks your aptitude. It has been noticed that many of the candidates with apparently good English and Maths scored more than 99.9 percentile without putting in a lot of effort into their preparation.
Following were the reasons that helped Kritika Jain to crack both CAT as well as UPSC in her first attempt were:
- She mainly focused on UPSC during her preparation phase.
- Since she had put all of her time and energy into UPSC, she was able to clear it by her dedicated hard work.
- Clearing CAT requires aptitude which Kritika was good at. Hence, her talent helped her clear CAT without any extra hard work.
- IIM Ahmedabad interview merely requires a decent hold on your subjects, general knowledge that you get from UPSC itself, communication skills, and obviously, confidence.
- Kritika prepared for the UPSC interview so she didn't have to prepare separately for IIM A, thus making it much easier for her to clear IIM Ahmedabad.
You should try to understand that I’m not preaching here that it is ideal to sail two different boats when it comes to acting in such exams, but it is also not recommended to give up before trying only because of the fear of failure.
Moreover, the first attempt of the candidate has its own advantages, such as positivity and being full of energy. If you have a fixed goal with a strong focus, you can even crack UPSC in your first attempt. Hence, giving up your fear will definitely push you to give your best in any exam.
Is it worth doing an M.Tech from DTU?
Whether or not you should consider doing an M.Tech from DTU depends on several factors. These factors are-
- Brand Name- If you wish for the tag of a prestigious institution to be attached to your degree, DTU is the right choice for you. My sister had done her B.Tech from a college that is not well known, so she decided to go for her M.Tech from DTU to get the DTU tag.
- Placements- DTU has a good placement record. This is especially true for the CS and IT branches.
- Poor Research Environment- If you wish to go for research, DTU will disappoint you. The faculty will only be there to ‘support’, you will be on your own. The research facilities are also not up to the mark. The seniors are helpful. Overall, the environment is not very nourishing for research endeavors.
Even the teaching is not up to the mark.
- Other options- An M.Tech degree from DTU is equivalent to an M.Tech degree from a good NIT. If Delhi is the place for you, you should choose DTU or the nearest good NIT.
- Preparation- If you wish to go for teaching as a profession, you will get ample time to prepare for your NET/JRF during your M.Tech from DTU.
Even if you wish to go for government jobs after your M.Tech, you will get ample time for your preparation.
For hostel facilities, food, location, library, and study environment, DTU is a good university.
You must consider all these factors before choosing or not choosing DTU for your M.Tech. Overall, DTU is a prestigious and well-known university.
