Which is the best hostel in IIT Bombay and why?
My brother had the pleasure of staying at hostels 9, 16, and now 13 in chronological order. However, he claimed not one hostel had the complete facilities one expects in a hostel. I have described each hostel in a few pointers
Hostel 9
- Extremely small room difficult for even 2 people to share
- The best food in the entire institute is served in this hostel
- It has many facilities like a pool, a small footer field, basketball court, table tennis and makes your leisure time great
Hostel 16
- This hostel has some of the best rooms in the entire institute. The rooms are double occupancy but can easily be shared by more people.
- If you are lucky enough to be allotted the 6th floor or above, you can get a spectacular view of Hiranandani.
- The food is not very good
Hostel 13
- The room is usually for PG or DD students
- The rooms are single occupancy and are decked with decent facilities
- The food in the Mess is neither too good nor too bad.
- The hostel has a wide range of extracurricular facilities. There is a TV room that can accommodate around 70–80 people.
- This hostel is most coveted because of the spectacular view of the Powai lake and the Hiranandani it offers.
How good is MICA, Ahmedabad in terms of ROI, learning experience and campus life?
Since you have specifically mentioned the aspects on which you want info, I will go straight to the point.
Learning experience: The pedagogy and curriculum are industry relevant and are updated on a yearly basis. The students are taught about Marketing from Day one covering all the arenas. It’s the relevancy and well-structured nature of the curriculum combined with excellent pedagogy that gives the students of MICA an edge over other students of B schools like IIMs during internships
The course is specially designed for Marketing enthusiasts. The students win many corporate and B-school competitions like Mahindra War Room, HUL Lime, etc. owing to the institute's specialization in Marketing. These competitions fill the gap between the theoretical and practical knowledge we gained in class.
Campus life: The MICA campus is one of the liveliest campuses across India. A student-driven committee organized fun events and kept the spirit alive on campus. We have football, cricket, Game of Thrones, and other movie screenings. Birthdays at MICA are celebrated with much fun. You will get a baggage of memories just in 2 months that will stay with you throughout your life.
ROI: MICA fees are not less given how coveted the course is. This year the fee was ?21 Lakh. The course is priced competitively but it is still not as high as the fees charged by private B Schools like NMIMS or IIMs. After interacting with a few alumni I got to know that most of them managed to repay their loans within 3-4 years. So overall the ROI is pretty good.
How are the placements for M.Tech students in civil engineering in IIT Roorkee?
It’s sad to say but MTech students do not attract very good companies for placements. The companies prefer students with experience. BTech students prepare well in advance either for MBA or coding to get placements in IT or banking companies. MTech students are not allowed to do so and thus are unable to secure good packages.
Now the question arises, what should MTech students do to guarantee a safe career? Well, I will suggest that they prepare for GATE again and clear PSU or some other Engineering service.
You can even enter Academia but the salary packages will also be average. Another option is to go for a Ph.D. but this too has no career prospects. The most guaranteed way is to clear PSU.
What is the placement scenario of Heritage Institute of Technology graduates?
Heritage Institute of Technology (HIT) is one of the best engineering colleges among all the affiliated colleges with Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology. The courses have NAAC and NBA accreditation and are AICTE approved. It is also recognized among the national engineering institutes with 154th NIRF Ranking for Engineering 2020.
The institute witnessed a 100% placement record during the last few years. Most of the students have bagged packages from more than one company. The CSE, ECE, and IT branches have an edge over the other branches in the institute.
The placements statistics (overall) are below:
| Placement Percentage | 80-90% |
| Average Package | 8-10 LPA |
| Lowest Package | INR 3-4 LPA |
| Highest Package | INR 16-20 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Wipro, Tech Mahindra, TCS, Cognizant, etc. |
Usually, grabbing the package in a broader bracket is a cumbersome task. Overall, HIT is the best among all the colleges of any other WBUT.
What are the procedure for lateral entry at Jadavpur university?

What are average placements of BHU in LLB?
Almost 30-40% of the students got placed. The highest salary package offered is 10 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered is 2 LPA. Top recruiting companies of our college are TCS, etc. Almost 50-60% of the students got an internship in firms, Sai & Associations, etc.
How has your life changed since graduating from BITS Pilani?
Here are a few changes my sister felt since she graduated from BITS Pilani
- She has got a mindset and brain superior to normal people and often finds it difficult to talk to them. So she finds it difficult to stay humble with all the knowledge she has.
- Even after leaving BITS, she hasn’t lost her passion for learning and studying. While she was working she finished 6 MOOC courses between the time she left Pilani and joined her master's program.
- She has stopped feeling insecure at all as she trusts her college and her hard work completely in shaping her career.
- She has started working on many side projects
- She gave more importance to education and attended classes regularly in her Masters
Lastly, she no more questions the credibility of BITS Pilani and its alumni.
How are roommates allotted in IIT Kanpur? Is it according to JEE ranks?
No, IIT Kanpur does not have a cruel policy of allotting roommates and rooms on the basis of JEE ranks. You cannot assign someone a room on the basis of his achievements. This is pure discrimination and this practice should be discontinued.
The only 2 institutes that follow this extreme policy are IIT and IIT BHU. The purpose of this is to ensure better living standards and ultimately better outputs from the treasures of the Institute.
In IIT Kanpur rooms and roommates are allotted randomly and you can expect almost anyone as your roommate. Your roommates play a major role in influencing your grades, examinations, and social life.
It’s good to make new friends and socialize, but remember life at IIT Kanpur is very rigorous and not a single moment should be wasted on useless activities.

What is your review of DAV College Chandigarh?
DAV College Chandigarh has a huge campus. It includes a playground and 3-4 little gardens. The college is situated at the center of the city and everything is nearby. You can get all the basic amenities on campus as well. There are two canteens, two Nescafes, a juice center, a stationery shop, a print shop, a salon, and laundry.
The faculties are well-experienced. Some of the faculty members are quite friendly and cooperative. The college has a three-story library. It has a good collection of books.
DAV College has many clubs and societies like Literary society, Economic Society, NSS, etc. The college organizes events like Karvaan, and Star nights annually.
Election times are the worst. There are many fights and unnecessary chaos on campus. The college isn’t strict regarding its attendance rule and you can get away with not attending classes. Faculties sometimes don’t attend the classes and as a result, the students suffer. These are some of the disadvantages that you may have to face on campus.
