Which one is better for pure sciences and cosmology IISER, NISER or IISC?
For pure science, IISc is the obvious choice among these. It is the best in India, in terms of research interface, faculties, and alumni base.
If you are particularly interested in Physics, you should definitely choose IISc. It has an excellent Physics department. IISc Bangalore, Department of Physics has a Theoretical Cosmology group. The research interest of the group mostly involves early universe cosmology topics. For pure science courses, the preference order for these institutes is - IISc>>IISER>NISER.
What is the salary of a scientist having a degree from IISc Bangalore?
The salaries received by the scientists having a degree from IISc Bangalore depend upon their field of specialization. Computer science and application (CSA) students get higher salaries as compared to other fields. Most students get salaries above 20 lakhs per annum. These students have expertise in subjects like Machine learning, Data mining, computer vision, and allied fields. However, students having a pure science background have an average package of 6-9 LPA. Another factor that influences the salary is the country where the recruiting company is located or type of the research labs you are getting recruited.
The placement cell is proactive which ensures lucrative packages to most students. There is an OCCAP portal where students need to register to get all updates regarding the placement activities. During 2019 placement, 25% of the students got packages ranging between 20 LPA to 30 LPA which was followed by 24% of students with packages ranging between 15 LPA to 20 LPA. The highest package at IISc in 2019 was 40 LPA and the average was around 10 LPA.
How many marks do I need at the minimum in the entrance exam of OUAT to get into BSc in agriculture science at OUAT?

So, you will need to score around 115 out of 200, to get shortlisted for BSc Agricultural Science. You should also keep in mind that an above-average score in the entrance is not enough for admission at OUAT. They also consider your 10th and 12th scores.
Is it all right to choose IIM, I or K over XLRI just for the IIM brand?
I will never suggest you go for IIM Kozhikode over XLRI. Because of the establishment of new IIMs, the impact of its brand has deteriorated. IIM Indore and IIM Kozhikode aren’t at the same level. Apart from IIM ABC, the only good IIM is Lucknow. If your academic records are average then only you can consider XLRI, that too is a great choice. If you are financially weak, then FMS is the one for you.
However, the harsh reality is many companies still prefer IIM students over other B-schools. This partiality results in MBA aspirants flocking to IIMs. IIM's. If you look carefully, XLRI too is an excellent institute and is second only to IIM ABC and FMS. Additionally, those seeking specialization in HR, should not loot beyond XLRI.
So, don’t reject XLRI BM (Jamshedpur) except for IIM A, B, C, and L. One may prefer L over XL because of the IIM tag, else both are similar.
In my opinion, the preference order should be
IIM A=B=C>>L>XLRI>FMS>>IIM I>IIM K
What are the average, median, and highest salaries offered to XLRI HRM passouts?
It is important to understand that the offers that XLRI HRM pass outs receive can vary significantly, as they come from a diverse range of industries. While it is true that the average median salary for XLRI HRM pass-outs is Rs. 9.5 lacs and the highest salary offered is Rs. 12 lacs, it is important to keep in mind that these figures are just estimates, and actual salaries may vary depending on a number of factors such as the specific industry, the company, the individual's skills and experience, and the location of the job.
For freshers, it is common for the starting salary to be in the range of Rs 3-4 LPA.
However, it is worth noting that this is just a rough estimate, and actual salaries may differ based on the factors mentioned above. Ultimately, the salary that an XLRI HRM pass-out receives will depend on a variety of factors, and it is important to keep this in mind when considering job offers.

Which is best for computer science, NIT Warangal, NIT Suratkhal, NIT Trichy, IIITDelhi, or DTU Delhi?
It’s highly illogical to compare DTU or even IIIT Delhi with the top 3 NITs that enjoy the status of Institutes of National Importance. The NITs are second only to the IITs and fall in the same league as old IITs and BITS Pilani. They are way ahead of these Delhi colleges in terms of exposure, placements, and coding culture.
Despite a huge batch size, DTU has limited offers with good packages. While NIT Warangal has a small batch yet a huge number of students getting above 20 LPA.
NIT Surathkal has an excellent record of GSOC Selections while DTU is not even among the top 12 engineering colleges in terms of GSOC selections. Additionally, NIT Surathkal is the first campus that ATTLASIAN visited for placement.
Overall, the top 3 NITs are way superior to DTU and IIIT Delhi in terms of peer groups, academics, research, return on Investment, NIRF Ranking, campus life, and brand value.
Personally, I will recommend you to follow the following preference order
NIT Trichy CSE>NIT Surathkal CSE>NIT Warangal CSE>NIT Surathkal Information Technology (IT)>DTU CSE>IIIT Delhi CSE
Which is better - KIIT or Manipal University?
Manipal University will be the better option. It offers good academics. For branches like CSE, IT, ECE, EEE, Mech, etc. MIT can be compared to some NITs. Admission to the institute is based on merit. So, the student crowd is decent. It has a decent placement record. The recent highlights of Manipal University Jaipur placements show an average CTC of INR 5.43 LPA.
Overall, placements, academics, alumni base, and campus life makes MIT one of the best private universities in the country.
