How is the life of an MSc student in IIT Hyderabad?

PV
Prarthi Vyas Posted On : May 16th, 2023
Studied at IIT Hyderabad

The campus life at IIT Hyderabad is very laid back and convenient. In the first year, you just need to travel about 25 mins every day by bus at around 8:20 am to attend the classes and once the classes are over, you have to again travel the same distance back to your room. Sometimes, students get shifted to a new room in the first month. 

IIT Hyderabad has two campuses, one is at Kandi, where the academic block is situated while the other campus is at ODF Medak where the first-year students live. Students are shifted to the new campus after a year. 

However, if you fail to get your MSc project lab in the new campus then your last year of MSc has to be spent in the old campus again. Overall, the life of an MSc student at IT Hyderabad is unpredictable.

Is CUSAT better than NITs for msc physics?

AM
Aritra Majumder Posted On : February 17th, 2021
MSc Physics & MATHEMATICS UNIVERSITY LEVEL, University of Kerala (1987)

NITs are generally much better than Cochin Institute Of Science & Technology (CUSAT) as they receive higher funding, seminar, workshops, facilities and have reputed international Scientists. They include -

  • Funding in the institution

The funding is straight from the government and therefore tends out to be more advanced in terms of technology and curriculum. All facilities are provided in order to make it a global course.

  • International Collaborations

The NIT across the nation are actively engaged in seminars/workshops that allow its candidates to have a great exposure towards good & eminent scientists across the globe.

CUSAT can compete with NOT only on the grounds of the Physics department as it is the only department that fulfils the criterion of good faculty and advanced projects in a general sense. The major areas to look up to are :

  • They try to interact with institutions like NCL, NIIST, Inter University Accelerator Centre New Delhi, IWATE University Japan.
  • There are almost 205 PhDs and approximately 1100 publications in international/ national journals.
  • Five Indian patents have also been filed within the department.

CUSAT gives you good opportunities but when it comes to choice between CUSAT & NIT ; surely the latter will be more preferable.

How is MSU Baroda for an MSc in Microbiology?

RB
Rahul Bisht Posted On : December 31st, 2022
M.Sc in Microbiology, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda (Graduated 1966)

Microbiology is a science that is used in many fields; therefore, it is essential to be a lifelong learner with an open mind in order to accept all points of view, analyze them, and then reach an intelligent conclusion, which must also be understood as dynamic. This perspective on life as a dynamic situation in which one grows and dies every second is an important life lesson. MSU's heart is its faculty. They are highly qualified, knowledgeable, and helpful. Some faculty members are fantastic, while others are not. Presentations and interactive sessions are also available. They have significant industrial exposure but are highly valued in the research field.

The course curriculum is designed in such a way that all B.Sc students in life sciences (zoology, botany, and chemistry) can pursue the Master's course. It covers the majority of the topics required for a master's degree, beginning with general microbiology and progressing to immunology and bioinformatics.

Which would be better for an MSc. in physics, IIT Ropar or IIT Mandi?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : May 27th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Rather than answering your question directly, I will answer in such a way that will help you answer it yourself in the best possible way. It’s always best to make your decision in your own. Others can only guide you, the ultimate decision should be made by you. MSc is a degree that opens 3 opportunities, 

  • Higher studies like a PhD
  • Placement in a private university as a faculty through the IIT campus placement
  • Joining a coaching Institute.

Higher Studies: For this, the primary step is to go through the course structures of both the IITs and look at the faculty list and their respective research areas. See if their areas of research align with your interest. Some advanced courses will be introduced which might vary from IIT to IIT. So analyzing the people and course structures is way more important than just choosing the institute.

Placement: Unfortunately, MSc has very limited placement options and chances of landing a good job are bleak even if you are from an active old IIT.

Joining a coaching institute should be your last option.

Which is better, BITS Hyderabad for an MSc. in maths or Vasavi College of Engineering for a CSE?

JS
Jeet Shah Posted On : March 24th, 2023
Studied at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus (2018)

 If you're trying to decide between pursuing a Master of Science in Mathematics at BITS Hyderabad and a Computer Science Engineering degree at Vasavi College of Engineering, here's some information that may help you make an informed decision.

If finances are not a major concern, it may be a good idea to choose BITS Hyderabad's MSc Mathematics program over Vasavi's CSE program. The reason for this is that in the second year of the MSc Mathematics program, you will be allocated a BE degree. If you have a good CGPA in your first year of the MSc program, you may be allocated a good B.E. degree, such as in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) or any circuit branch.

This is significant because a B.E. degree from BITS Hyderabad is highly regarded and could provide a good return on investment in terms of career opportunities and earning potential. Additionally, BITS Hyderabad has a reputation for providing quality education and exposure to industry-relevant skills and knowledge.

It's important to note that while a good CGPA can increase your chances of getting a desirable B.E. degree at BITS Hyderabad, there is no guarantee. Additionally, pursuing an MSc in Mathematics and a subsequent B.E. degree may require more effort and time commitment than pursuing only a CSE degree at Vasavi College of Engineering.

Ultimately, the decision between BITS Hyderabad's MSc Mathematics program and Vasavi's CSE program depends on your personal preferences, career goals, and financial situation. It's recommended that you research and compare the programs, their admission requirements, course curriculum, faculty, and placement records before making a decision.

Where can I get the previous years' MSc chemistry entrance examination questions papers of Aligarh Muslim University?

NP
Nilima Pandey Posted On : August 14th, 2020
M.Sc in High Energy Physics from Aligarh Muslim University (2017)

The previous year's examination question papers of Aligarh Muslim University can not be found on the internet. The main reason behind that is AMU does not make their paper public.

If you want the previous year's papers, contact the members of the seminar library of the AMU chemistry department. Or else you can check the Maulana Azad Library about the previous year's papers of MSc. If you know any research scholars in the department, they might help you. Moreover, in Aligarh, there is a Shamshad market, famous for bookstores. You can buy reference books, previous year papers, etc. from the bookstores there.

How is MS by Research at IIT Madras different from Phd? Considering both are research focused programs.

RB
Ranjini Banerjee Posted On : March 30th, 2023
Research Scholar at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

The basic differences between MR at IIT Madras and Ph.D. at IIT Madras are

  • Research: MS program has less research work than Ph.D. It is considered an extended version of MS and many MS students go for a Ph.D. afterward.
  • Degree: An MS degree is awarded if the student has a minimum of 1 international conference paper and if the panel is satisfied that the work has met the standards of the institute. Whereas a Ph.D. is awarded only when the student has a minimum of 2 international journal papers and if the panel is satisfied and considers it as per the standards of the institute.
  • Coursework: An MS student needs to take at least 5 graduate courses whereas a Ph.D. needs to take 4. Additionally a Direct Ph.D. or M.S.+PhD. needs to take 8.
  • Duration: The time taken to complete an MS program is between 1.5-3 years whereas for a Ph.D. and M.S. + Ph.D it takes 3-5 years. This duration might be increased in case a student is unable to complete it in the given time frame.
  • Viva: In Ph.D., you are required to pass a challenging Viva Voce, while in M.S. you need not. The difficulty level of this viva varies from department to department.
  • Stipend: Under the HTRA scheme, an MS student gets INR 12400 while a Ph.D. student gets INR 25000.

Despite these differences, the general routine and schedule of both MS and Ph.D. are similar. Ultimately, more than your program, your research topic and performance will matter.
