YV
Yash Verma Posted On : September 13th, 2023
B.Tech CSE, NIT Hamirpur (2019)

The CSE department at NIT Hamirpur has its own pros and cons. I have listed a few to answer your question 

Pros

  • The CSE department of NIT Hamirpur has some exceptionally good faculty members. Their teaching styles are unique. 
  • The curriculum of this department is one of the best. A few courses are so profound that CS students of this college have an upper hand when talking to other CS grads. 
  • Students are taught diverse courses like AI, Data Mining, Agent-Based Systems, OS, Networks, Advanced Architecture, etc 

Cons

  • The number of faculty members is low and the majority of them are not interested in teaching.
  • Not many CS companies visit the campus for placements and most companies from the IT sector visit.
  • Students aren’t offered any kind of industrial exposure.
  • There aren’t any student projects, and only bookish knowledge is given preference.

However, being a CSE student at NIT Hamirpur is certainly a privilege given the fact that they have the maximum free time and also the best placement record. 

So weigh the pros and cons against your own preferences and make a wise decision.

What is the SCB in IISER?

GM
Gaurav Mishra Posted On : October 21st, 2021
BS-MS from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune (2020)

There are three ways of being admitted to an IISER.

  1. You can either give a KVPY SA or SB or SX.
  2. You can give JEE Advance and clear it.
  3. You can be a part of the SCB stream.

SCB criteria are applicable for only the top 1% of students of each of the boards across India. To simply word it, those who have secured 99 percentile are a part of SCB. If you secure marks that are above the cut-off, you will get INSPIRE scholarship as well. 

The top 1% of students from across India and all boards are invited to give the IISER test. After this, a rank list/merit list is prepared about the marks scored in the exam. And the top students are admitted to the six branches of IISERs.

It is actually the other way around. CDS and AFCAT have more advantages over NDA. Some of the advantages of NDA are as follows.

KS
Kunal Sharma Posted On : April 3rd, 2023
B.Tech. from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

Never target a fixed score if you are planning to clear JEE because the level of difficulty of the exam varies every year. The closing rank of an OBC candidate is 340 for the CSE branch at IIT Delhi. So, on a rough estimate, a score of around 230 might get you into CSE as an OBC student. However, you wouldn’t limit your capabilities to your branch but give your best.

Which is best, FMS, XLRI, or IIM Lucknow?

PT
Pragya Tripathi Posted On : January 16th, 2023
DTU'20 | CAT'21: 99.63%ile | XAT'22: 99.68%ile

Making a decision about a school is similar to creating a regression model, where the features serve as the parameters and the coefficients represent the students' preferences.

Batch size: The placement at XLRI Delhi is combined with the JSR batch. As a result, the combined batch size (XLRI JSR BM + XLRI JSR HR + XLRI Delhi BM) is quite large but still significantly smaller than IIM Lucknow. FMS is the clear winner in terms of batch size. As a result, FMS > XLRI > IIML.

Group of peers: This is a highly debatable and relative parameter. XLRI has no reservations, and some argue that people are chosen solely on merit, whereas FMS and IIML have more than 50% reservations. As a result, a better crowd.

The CAT score: It is extremely important to FMS. You'll mostly find a more educated crowd there. IIM Lucknow has very diverse selection criteria, similar to IIM Bangalore. In their selection criteria, they consider gender and academic diversity, previous academic records, work experience, and so on, ensuring a consistent and diverse crowd. Now it all comes down to personal preference, FMS > IIML > XLRI.

Tag: IIM Lucknow has an old IIM tag and is well-known worldwide. XLRI and FMS are both very old institutes with strong brand identities. Personal preference once again. IIM > XLRI > FMS.

Campus Life: FMS has no hostels and a very small campus. You're basically a day student there. IIML = XLRI > FMS.

Finance: Lucknow has more financial opportunities than the other two in terms of profiles available and companies visiting campus. FMS >= IIML.
