How is CGPA calculated in KIIT University?

SP
Samrat Pradhan Posted On : July 25th, 2023
B.Tech from Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (2017)

KIIT University has a 10-point grading system for calculating CGPA. For this, you need to take the sum of the products of the credit weightage of each course and the grade point obtained in that course, divided by the sum of the credit weightage of all the courses. 

Consider the following example, if you have taken 5 courses in a semester with the given  grade points and credit weightage:

Course 

Grade Point

Credit Weightage 

Product

Course 1

8

4

32

Course 2

9

3

27

Course 3

7

3

21

Course 4

10

2

20

Course 5

8

2

16

Sum

14

116

Now, the sum of the products of the credit weightage of each course and the grade point is 116 while the sum of credit weightages is 14. To get the CGPA, you need to divide the former with the latter.

CGPA =116/14=8.28

To calculate CGPA for the entire program,

  • Take the sum of the product of credit weightage and grade points obtained in all semesters
  • Divide the above by the total credit weightage of all the courses in the program.

The relative grading system compares the grades of the students to the overall performance of the class.

Is an MBA from DU worth it?

BS
Bhoomika Sharma Posted On : October 6th, 2022
MBA in Global Business from University of Delhi

An MBA from FMS at DU has the same reputation as an MBA from any IIM. You will be surprised to learn that students frequently leave IIM for FMS due to its extremely low fee structure.

The Faculty of Management Studies at Delhi University also offers a two-year MBA programme. The college emphasizes practical learning by hosting workshops and internship programmes on a regular basis. FMS Delhi placement ended on a mixed note, with 100% of students receiving job offers. The average salary package was 23.20 LPA, but the highest package dropped from 54 LPA to 48 LPA. 

From a batch size of 216, 198 students participated in the process, with the remaining 18 opting out. The most notable achievement for the FMS placement 2019 was an increase in the average salary for female students, which increased to 25.10 LPA from 22.6 LPA previously.

DU FMS MBA programmes are among the best in India, with high educational standards and high returns on investment.

Can someone share their interview experience of MBA from DMS, IIT Delhi?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : April 1st, 2023
lives in New Delhi

My friend was an Economics fresher and appeared for an MBA interview at DMS, IIT Delhi. The answer is courtesy of his experience with the panelists.

The entire procedure comprised of WAT, Documents Verification, ECA document verification, and PI

Everything was done systematically and in an organized manner. The WAT was a 30-minute process and she was made to write on Outsourcing. After the ECA, she was escorted to the interview room where she found 2 female panelists. 

They asked for her brief introduction, something that is more than just her name and educational background. On hearing about her passion for writing she asked what kind of writing she was into.

Owing to her interest in hockey, they asked her some related questions like 

  • what improvements does the Indian Hockey team need
  • Who was her role model from the team and why
  • Why she did not pursue a hockey career 
  • Did she choose the game because of it being the national game ( which it is not thus being a trick)

Next she was asked about her School life, age, and past academics. She walked if she had any prior working experience. Being an economics student they asked her

  • What is elasticity and asked her to draw a graph
  • They asked her what would happen if the demand for a water bottle would be increased

Lastly they asked her about her weakness after which she was asked to leave. The overall interview was a good experience mainly because the panelists, one of which was an alumnus, were friendly and lightened the tension.

How do placements in IISC Bangalore compare to the IITs for PG courses? What are other differences?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : July 14th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

I am an M.Tech, therefore, I will talk about this course.

Placements are the main reason why students with a good rank end up choosing IIT B over IISc Bangalore for their M.Tech.

The reason why you would go for your Master's is because you want to work in the technical field. Those who complete an M.Tech are technically very efficient. Working in a non-technical field after your M.Tech is not a good choice. You could have done the same after your Bachelor's. An M.Tech degree in this scenario becomes useless.

IIT Bombay has a good placement record for M.Tech students. However, most job profiles are non-technical. If you wish to go for a non-technical job after your M.Tech, go for IIT B or the other IITs.

IISc Bangalore will groom you in such a way that you will become passionate about your field of study. Many IISc Bangalore students reject non-technical job offers. Most M.Tech students at IISc Bangalore try to get a research assistantship at foreign universities to groom themselves for a research career.

These jobs are provided with the help of your faculty advisor. Therefore, IISc Bangalore does not mention them in its profile.

Overall, after your M.Tech or any PG program, if getting a job with a good package is your topmost priority, go for IITs. IISc Bangalore is a better choice for future researchers.

Which is better: BITS Pilani Hyd mechanical or VIT Vellore CS?

DS
Divya Saraf Posted On : June 28th, 2023
Lives in Hyderabad

Rather than focusing on the institutes, it’s best to give importance to your branch. I know a friend who gave up on BITS Hyderabad Mechanical production for core Mechanical at VIT. When I asked her the reason she told me that for her it was the branch that mattered more and VIT offered the branch of her choice.

So I will advise you to do the same. Analyze where your interests lie and choose the institute accordingly.

What is the average package of a civil engineer in IIT Bombay?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : March 23rd, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

The average package offered to a civil engineer at IIT Bombay depends on a multitude of factors like a student's academic performance, relevant work experience, skills, and the current job market demand.

According to IIT Bombay Placements reports of 2023, the average package offered to civil engineering graduates from IIT Bombay stood at INR 17.9 LPA. However, this is only an estimate and does not rightly portray the current job market scenario. The actual package offered to Civil Engineering students might be higher or lower than this average.

How good is an MBA from Osmania University?

NR
Niya Roy Posted On : September 23rd, 2021
MBA Marketing,Osmania University (2021)

There is a huge difference between the educational establishment of Osmania University than what you will usually find in other institutes. However, if you are searching for an academic backdrop concerning a corporate lifestyle, then you should rather choose to join other B-schools. Here are some things I got to know about it online.

  • The study standpoint is quite different in Osmania University. 
  • This university would not necessarily spoon feed the choices you have in hand, and will rather spend time crafting you to make choices on your own. 
  • The infrastructure of the university is quite good. 
  • But when talking about whether a student wants to prepare for government examinations, or the stream they have pursued usually only depends upon the selection they put in prior. 
  • This university comes with an upper hand because it provides students ample opportunities to redeem themselves from their mistakes, in their academic life. 
  • In terms of the liberty students generally have access to, Osmania University tends to put freedom prior to unjust restrictions. 
  • The university, other than the few mentioned above, inculcates general leadership skills in students to improve their way of living or conducting life, both socially and personally.

An MBA graduate from the university will unquestionably have all the required skills necessary for the corporate industry.

IIT Kanpur and IIT Bombay are the top 2 IITs in India with IIT Kanpur giving an edge to IIT Bombay. The only aspect of IIT Bombay that is better than IIT Kanpur is its metropolitan location. In almost every other aspect, IIT Kanpur is way ahead.
