Is Manipal Institute of Technology a good college for CSE? Where is its main campus?
Here are some highlights about the CSE department at Manipal Institute of Technology-
- Faculty- The faculty for CSE is not good, barring 3 or 4 teachers. The teaching quality isn’t up to the mark. For this reason, you’ll find the classes boring.
- Placements- The placements are good. Almost 60% of companies visiting the campus offer jobs mainly to CSE students. Many companies even offer seven digit packages to this branch. Microsoft, Amazon and Oracle are some IT companies that offer placements to CSE students every year.
- Extracurriculars- You will get to participate in Hackathons and other competitions at the MIT campus. IE-CSE is the CSE club of this institute. It organizes workshops in which you can participate and enhance your skills.
- Facilities- CSE department has well equipped labs. MIT offers a good exposure to all its students.
- Crowd and Campus Life- You’ll meet people from different cultural backgrounds at MIT. The crowd is great and you’ll really enjoy your campus life over here.
The Main Campus of MIT is located in Manipal, as the name suggests. Manipal is a small university town in Karnataka, located 10 minutes away from Udupi. Around 25 institutes are located here. The nearest railway station to MIT is Udupi Railway Station (situated 10 minutes away from Manipal). The nearest metro station is located in Bangalore (an overnight / 8 hour bus ride from Manipal). The nearest Airport is in Mangalore (a 1 hour 15 minutes drive from the campus).
Thus, the CSE program at MIT is a good option.
How tough is securing above 9.0 CGPA at IIT Kharagpur?
I wouldn’t say that securing an above 9.0 CGPA at IIT Kharagpur is very tough. With the right motivation, even an average student can get a 9+ CGPA. When it comes to grading, IIT KGP has two methods
- Relative Grading: Under this, professors are required to give a 9+ CGPA to 25% of the batch which comprises roughly 100 students. Now it’s up to the professor to decide who is worthy of such high grades. While some professors give a 10 CGPA to only the deserving students, many professors casually grade the students without much thought.
- Absolute Grading: This is a rather rigid grading system wherein grading is done on the basis of cumulative marks. Students scoring 90–100 get a 10 while those 80–90 get a 9 and so on. The upper and lower limits are not fixed and the cutoff is decided by the professor itself. This grading system is usually followed in the Maths Department.
So we can conclude that getting a 9+ CGPA becomes a lot easier if you have no other distractions such as research or social work and you have been attending classes regularly.
Lastly, I would like to say that CGPA is not the only deciding factor. There are many students with a decent CGPA of 8+ who have made decent accomplishments and done high-level research or wonders in startups. The main agenda is to gain maximum exposure and then plan your future.
Should I take AIIMS Rishikesh or SMS Jaipur (I am from Jaipur)?
AIIMS Rishikesh is a better option than SMS JAIPUR. Here is why you should choose AIIMS Rishikesh to SMS Jaipur
- Smaller batch size
- Low fee
- Extremely cooperative professors in preclinical years.
- You will also get an AIIMS quota for PG.
- As for the patient inflow, it doesn't matter in UG so don’t let that mislead you to believe old colleges are better.
Here is why you shouldn’t choose SMS Jaipur
- The professors in preclinical treat you ruthlessly bringing your morale to its lowest
- The academics are pathetic and you have to resort to self-study
- The hostel and campus facilities are lacking and old
- Fees are higher than central institutes
- The batch size is huge
All this brings us to the conclusion that AIIMS Rishikesh is a far better choice than SMS Jaipur.
How useful is going through last 10 year's question papers of the RGUHS 1st year MBBS final exam? Are the questions repeated?
According to one of my friends at RGUHS, first-year MBBS includes subjects such as anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry.
- There will be a certain limit to the number of questions asked in the examination.
- It’s wise to go through previous years’ question papers to have a sound knowledge regarding the pattern and types of reliable questions.
- Approach your seniors as they will have a stock of “must-read” topics and 10 years of solved question papers.
- Question banks of Singi Yatriraj are a must-have reference when it comes to solving test papers.
- One simple tip is to read the questions and relate to the important aspects including the condition or phenomena.
Therefore, follow these pointers thoroughly for your exam. By practicing often you will realize that a lot of questions are usually repeated.
