What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at BHU?
As a student of BHU my friend shared some of the most useful tips for first-year students:
-
Make the best use of Central Library for reading in silence.
-
Have cold coffee/South Indian foods at VT.
-
Build a trusting relationship with your teachers. This will go a long way. The teachers here appreciate every little gesture so getting in their good books won’t hurt.
-
You can have Chai/ cold drinks at Lanka Gate 24x7.
-
Utilize campus facilities to the maximum extent
-
Follow practice sessions and be timely with your records. It will provide you with extra marks.
Varanasi is the city of Ghats so don’t forget to indulge in their beauty in your leisure time.
Which is better: An integrated five years course into DM neurology (NIMHANS) or completing my MD in general medicine and then specializing in DM neurology?
In my opinion, it’s best to complete an MD in medicine first rather than pursuing DM Neuro directly after MBBS.
It is so because M.B.B.S. students receive minimal clinical exposure and therefore their interest in a particular field might not be genuine. They might later regret their choice.
An integrated program is a 5-year program that requires a lot of commitment. So, if you go for a field you are not interested in, you will be wasting 5 years of your life. Even if you are sure of your interest in neurology, you may not actually like it when you start working. That being said, it's better that you do MD in medicine, have first-hand exposure to all the specialties, and then choose one for you.
People often choose integrated courses so as to save one year of education. However, they fail to recognize the risks involved.
Ultimately, unless you love neurology passionately and have enough exposure in the same, go for direct DM, else completing MD would be the safest bet.
What is SOL in DU?
SOL is a short form for the School of Open Learning at Delhi University. It offers admission in different UG and PG courses offered by the DU colleges. The major difference between DU and SOL is that you don’t have to attend regular college.
Here are the other differences between DU and SOL.
- SOL provides admission in correspondence courses and you don’t actually have to attend the classes regularly.
- Whereas in regular colleges of DU, you will have to maintain a certain percentage of attendance in order to take the internal/external exams, and hence you have to attend the colleges on a regular basis.
- SOL is one of the best options for those who couldn’t take admission in any colleges or are dropouts or working people. Also, those who are preparing for the government exams and for a safe side want a professional degree as a backup.
- In SOL, attendance does not matter much and you can easily take the examination which is held once a year without any problem.
- Finishing a degree can be quite effortless since the classes are usually held on weekends and holidays.
- SOL also provides study materials to its students. The questions asked on the term-end examination are mostly from the study materials provided by the institute.
If you are interested in SOL then you can go ahead and take admission in it; if you are working or due to other reasons you are not able to pursue your PG in a regular manner. For this, the SOL assists you with study material as well.
Has IIIT Hyderabad grown beyond IIT Madras and IIT Kharagpur??
Over the past few years, the Earth has become a global village and technology has been developing at a fast pace. Software Engineers are among the most demanded professionals. That being said, IIITs are slowly and increasingly becoming more preferred than IITs because their curriculum revolves around CS precisely. Their curriculum is highly industry-relevant meeting all demands of the branch.
Now one might ask, why aren’t IITs as successful as IIITs in terms of CS? Well, the major reason is that IITs have a variety of departments not making it possible for the students to focus on one branch. You will see someone from another department like Chemical or Civil competing for a job in the CS or IT sector.
IIITs on the other hand have only 2 departments, CA and IT. The curriculum is crisp and focuses on these two branches only. You don’t have to sacrifice your branch here and can pursue your passion in CS and IT only. Today IIIts CS curriculum gives a considerable edge to IIT Bombay’s CS branch. This is why, IIIT Hyderabad is preferred over IITs today.
How do I calculate GPA and CGPA for Anna university engineering exam semester results?
You can calculate your GPA for Anna University by adding the grade credit points of various subjects and divide it by total credits for the semester. This will give you the GPA. The grade point for S is 10, A is 9, B is 8, and so on.
GPA= [(Subject 1* Credit 1) + (Subject 2* Credit 2) +...+(Subject n* Credit n)] / (Credit 1+...+ Credit n)
Let’s say you have 5 subjects with 3 credits each and you got 8, 7, 9, 9, and 7 in these subjects.
[(8*3 + 7*3 + 9*3 + 9*3 + 7*3)] / 15.
123/15 = 8.5 GPA
If you want to calculate your CGPA, repeat the above process for all your semesters and you will have your CGPA.
Is 70 percent good for IIM?
Admission to IIMs in general and IIM Ahmedabad specifically are done on the basis of the Common Admission Test or CAT. IIMs are the best institutes that provide MBA programs across the country and thus the admission criteria too are rigid. The focus on academic background is less than CAT and the minimum percentage required in Graduation is 50 percent marks in any discipline. The primary focus is on the CAT score and WAT-PI.
Generally, IIMs eligibility criteria are 50 percent marks in Graduation and CAT scores. However, the IIM shortlisting criteria for admission include 95+ CAT percentile and 70 percent and above in graduation. This means 50% makes you eligible for admission but 70% and above makes you a better candidate for admission thereby increasing your chances of a call. It’s best to aim higher than the CAT cut-off percentile fixed for that year to maximize your chances of selection.
So we can say that the Eligibility criteria for IIM admission include 50 percent in graduation combined with CAT score and GD-PI around.
Is a BITS Pilani MBA good or bad?
The campus won’t play a major role in your future. It is based on the talent and skills of the student in the core subject. You should strive hard for a better future.
BITS Pilani is not good at placement when compared with other leading institutes in India like IITs and IIMs, but BITS is better than the third-grade institutes. So it is better to focus on your improvement in the subject rather than the college.
Which is better, AIIMS Bhopal or MAMC?
It’s not difficult to choose one between the two as I would always give preference to MAMC over AIIMS Bhopal.
- AIIMS Bhopal was recently infamous for its lack of faculties
- AIIMS Bhopal has a poor study plan and its curriculum is poorly structured
- The AIIMS tag is not helpful at all for this branch.
Considering the above points, MAMC is the best choice for you. The faculties are highly qualified and it also delivers good quality education.
So we can say one-day AIIMS might become a prime institute but right now it doesn't look to be in a very good condition

What do IITans, BITSians and NITans think of their IIIT Hyderabad peers?
My brother is an IITian and his best friend is an IIITian and he has great respect for his friend. Although his friend had poor academic records and even had a disciplinary committee on him, he was a pro in coding. His skills even got him an offer from Goldman Sachs, but he did not accept the order and started working on his start-up for 2-3 years. Currently, he is pursuing his MBA from a reputed B School.
My brother was impressed by his friend's decision to give up on the lucrative offer to pursue his dream of a start-up. His passion impressed him and he realized that it actually stems from the ethics he learned from IIIT Hyderabad.
