How are North Eastern NITs?

PJ
Prakriti Jha Posted On : June 14th, 2022
studied at NIT Raipur

Some of the north-eastern NITs are excellent in terms of quality of education and facilities offered such as NIT Silchar, and NIT Agartala. Academics at these NITs can be compared to old NITs such as Durgapur, Kurukshetra, and Raipur. 

The rest of the north-eastern NITs are still in the developing period and ranked below the old NITs.

What is the base salary if we complete CS from NIT Rourkela and get approximately 7 CGPA? What is the average package I can get?

SM

I don't think many companies even consider CGPA as the criteria for evaluating your eligibility to get placed. CSE students especially have to work on their coding and problem-solving skills more than their CGPA. I am not saying CGPA does not matter at all, what I mean is it's not the main criteria. You still need a good CGPA to qualify for the cutoffs set by companies. Most companies are okay with a decent 7 while some even let you sit with a CGPA around 6. Only a few government companies like CDOT and DRDO, set high cutoffs. The number of companies expecting a high CGPA is usually very low.

One of my friends at NIT Rourkela stated that there is no direct connection between your CGPA and the package you receive, rather it all depends on individual skills. If you are a CS student, bear in mind that your interviewer will expect good coding skills in any of the high-level programming languages like C/C++/Java, etc., a strong grasp of data structures and algorithms, basics of operating systems, and some fundamental theoretical concepts of database and networking. Such skills will overcome even your low CGPA. 

NIT Rourkela CSE average package 2023 stood at INR 21.87 LPA . So it can be said that as a NIT Rourkela student, if you have a CGPA of 7+ you will be eligible to sit for placements of most CS companies but your chances of selection depend on the skills you developed through the period of 4 years.

Which college should I choose, KJ Somaiya, the IMI Delhi, the Fore School of Management or the Lal Bahadur Shastri in Delhi to pursue an MBA?

DV
Dev Varma Posted On : March 15th, 2023
Studied at the FORE School of Management

When it comes to choosing between different institutes for an MBA, there are a lot of factors to consider beyond just ROI, fees, and CTC.

Firstly, think about the specialization you want to pursue. Each institute may have a different focus, such as IMI's dedicated HR course, FORE's marketing program, or LBS's finance specialization. Do your research and make sure you choose an institute that aligns with your career goals. 

When considering placements, don't just focus on the CTC or the recruiting companies. Instead, look at the profile that is being offered. There is a big difference between an area manager role and a sales executive role, for example. Make sure the profile is something that interests you and aligns with your career aspirations.

Talking to alumni can also be a helpful way to gauge the exposure and opportunities offered by each institute. Reach out to alumni from different institutes to get a better understanding of what each one offers and which may be the best fit for you.

Ultimately, how you perform in the program will matter much more than which institute you choose. Put in the effort and work hard to make the most of your time in the program, and you will set yourself up for success in your future career.

Will I be able to change my branch in DTU/NSIT after the 1st year? If yes, then what is the criteria to change the branch after 1 year?

AB

NSIT Branch change Rules

Branch change in NSIT happens after 1st semester. NSUT has unique criteria regarding branch change. If there are vacant seats in the branch of your higher preference(as filled during the choice-filling procedure of JAC Delhi) and your JEE rank is better than other students who applied for branch change, then your branch changed automatically after the first semester. However, if you have filled out the branch freezing form at the time of admission or students who got admission during the spot round cannot change their branch.

DTU branch change

DTU has no branch change policy. In rare cases, if someone from a higher cutoff branch withdraws his admission after the spot round then the seat is filled by those who opted for that branch and not froze their current branch. The chances are almost low though.

Who are the best professors at BIT Mesra? Why?

VS
Vishal Sharma Posted On : April 23rd, 2021
B. E. in Mechanical Engineering, Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Graduated 2019

A relative of mine used to be a student of BIT Mesra. She and a number of her peers have chosen Mr. Anup Kumar Keshri to be the best professor at BIT Mesra.

  • Professor Keshri himself is an alumnus of BIT Mesra and he was a student of the Computer Science Branch. Despite being in the CS Department, Professor Keshri was impressed by Professor P.K. Choudhary who did not belong in the department. His teaching abilities caught the eyes of Professor Keshri.
  • Professor P.K. Choudhary belonged to the Mechanical Department. He taught engineering drawing. 
  • Even though Prof. Keshri was not a student of Mechanical Engineering, he did a paper on Professor Choudhary’s subject in 1996. 
  • In addition to that, in spite of not being a student, Professor Keshri is sure that after some revision, he would be able to take classes in Mechanical Engineering.

He is thankful to Professor Choudhary for teaching him the ‘Language of Engineers’, on which Professor Keshri did the paper in 1996. He did not have to refer to any textbook for preparing himself for the paper. He wishes to be a teacher like Professor Choudhary.

Which is better: PGDM or MBA from NMIMS?

DM
Deeksha Maurya Posted On : January 18th, 2022
B.Tech from SVKM's NMIMS (2020)

MBA and PGDM are more or less similar. The latter is considered to be a diploma and the former a degree. The Mumbai campus of NMIMS provides an MBA degree and a PGDM degree. 

If you pursue an MBA you will be studying more of the theoretical aspects of management. An MBA institute will be following a fixed curriculum as it will be based on the university guidelines.

If you are  pursuing a PGDM course you will be gaining knowledge regarding building soft skills and the programme is more industry-oriented. An autonomous institute does not have to follow university standards, so it is free to change its curriculum according to industry standards and change in the business environment. The course will prepare you for a senior level position in a company.

It is suggested that if you are willing to do business management, be it MBA or PGDM, consider only the Mumbai campus, as it has better placements and opportunities than Hyderabad or Bangalore.

What is the worst thing about NIT Rourkela?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : August 14th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

One of my cousins is currently studying at NIT Rourkela and shared a few worrisome things about the institute that affected her learning experience 

  • NIT Rourkela is surprisingly underestimated and does not get the fame it deserves. Only its students can get an idea of its incredibility.
  • Usually on Sundays, the campus witnesses a power cut from 8 AM to 5 PM. 
  • The attendance policies are very rigid and a minimum of 87.5% attendance is required. 
  • Rourkela does not have connectivity through flight. This makes traveling difficult for the students and also limits the number of recruiters.
  • The clubs are underfunded and therefore their performance is not very good.
  • The library is poorly stocked. It does not have books that are more important to students while exam preparations.
  • The institute has an overly secured campus with a large number of security forces.
  • The campus is overly large and one cannot travel by foot. You need to have a bicycle, to save time and energy.

However, the above-mentioned points aren’t very crucial and don’t affect the learning process directly. So it’s better to overlook them and focus on the bright side of the institute.

Can I get a seat at AIIMS Delhi if I start now?

DR
Dikhsha Roy Posted On : May 30th, 2023
MBBS from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (2020)

Honestly, you won’t be able to get a seat at AIIMS if you start preparing now. You required an AIR within 100 in NEET, one of the most difficult exams for UG in India.

However, if you have studied for AIIMS previously and had taken a drop year then there are still chances. Give it your all and start studying passionately. 

In most cases, however; it’s difficult to start from the beginning and get a seat unless you are a genius who gets 4-5 hours of sleep only and employs the best resources. 

I have seen various people get admission with just a preparation of 4 months. Miracles do happen, all you need to do is believe in yourself and start preparing right away without wasting a single minute here.

How is Lloyd Law College for a law degree? Where does it stand in ranking, placement and recognition?

SS
Sanya Sharma Posted On : September 8th, 2021
Studied LLB, Lloyd Law College (2017)

For a law degree, Lloyd Law College is an average college. There are various reasons as to why Lloyd is not treated as a good college-

  1. The faculty members are not treated properly and do not pay them below the UGC norms. 
  2. NLU teachers were previously teaching here but they have left the college. Their concerns were not looked after properly.
  3. You will hardly find any research paper writing or moot activity happening on the campus. 
  4. There are no criteria for attendance and anyone can sit for exams. This creates very poor competition among the students.
  5. The fee structure does not match with the quality of education and facilities available here at Lloyd Law College. It is not worth it.

It would be a better option if you have a good score in CLAT, then you should opt for NLU.

Divya Das Posted On : August 14th, 2023
B.Tech Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (2020)

NIT Rourkela hostel rooms are decent with enough space to house 2 students. From the 3rd year, students are allotted single-occupancy rooms.

  • A typical room in an NIT Rourkela hostel has all basic amenities like a table, chair, bed, fan, and light. 
  • Additionally, there is a provision of free Internet facilities and also DCC.
  • Students can spend their leisure time in the common room which has facilities like indoor games, TV, a library room, and a common mess.
  • Food served in the mess is decent which is related weekly. Once a week, the menu comprises special dishes. There is a day canteen offering juice, milk, tea, coffee, sandwich, eggs, etc
  • The midnight cravings are catered to by night canteens that provide tea, snacks, Maggi, and other stuff. 
  • There are decent sports facilities like a badminton court and also a garden.

Hope this was helpful!
