Honestly, how is IIM Indore - Mumbai Campus?
My brother has been at IIM Indore, Mumbai campus for the past 2 months. He has cleared the air of misconception and told me that the IIM Indore campus is on a level with any other IIM. Some pros and cons that will further elaborate on this point are
Pros
Faculty: The faculty comprises teachers who are geniuses in their own fields. Recalling several events he told me once his teacher during Organisational Behavior class, steered the conversation towards spiritualism. In another instance, the professor gave feedback on their case study solutions for maximum retention. The professors are humble and compassionate. They are ready to help you in anything from clearing doubts to suggesting books for study.
Peer Harmony: The harmony between the seniors and juniors here is another bright aspect. Any new undertaking by the juniors is encouraged by the seniors. The seniors along with juniors conduct skill-based workshops and organize guest lectures.
Placement Committee: The placement committee at IIM Indore, Mumbai campus is considerate and helps build long-term relationships with corporates. The placement coordinator is personally involved with the batch and he is an approachable person.
Location: One obvious advantage that IIM Indore has is its location. Located in the City of Dreams, the institute offers the students to step out of their comfort zone and try unimaginable things. The city offers a vast number of opportunities and baggage of experience. Also being the finance capital, the campus enjoys visits from various industry experts who impart significant corporate knowledge.
Brand Image: The IIM tag you will get to wear for the rest of your life will be beneficial everywhere and everytime. The IIM does not just prepares you for a job but it also prepares you for life in general.
Cons
Infrastructure: The fact that institute still lacks a campus can discourage many. Yet its not that big a merit you can leave your IIM tag for.
Accommodation: The institute offers no hostel facilities and one has to look for accommodation on their own. The seniors help a lot and this entire process might help you know the reality of life and prepare you for your future endeavors.
How do I get a better score in the SOL DU exams?
I have a few friends from SOL DU and here is their advice to get a better score in the examinations.
- It is best that you follow the exam papers of the preceding 10 years to gain better insight into the pattern followed by the examination.
- Following the same, you should reschedule your time and make a good routine.
- It is recommended that you study two subjects per day, allowing extra time when required.
- Most essentially, it is best that you study at least six days per week and try completing one entire subject in a week or less.
- Brush your answer framing skills, alongside making time to solve as many test papers as you possibly can.
Hope this helps answer your question.
How good of an institution is NSIT, Delhi?
One of my friends at NSUT Delhi shared a few unknown facts about the institute. He claims that the majority of the crowd is focused on getting placed and securing good marks rather than developing a genuine interest and passion in the curse. This makes the academic environment dull and unchallenging. Here are some other major drawbacks he faced during his time at NSUT Delhi
- The institute has a disinterested faculty pool that ruins the lives of many by illogical grading systems. They have no interest in teaching and students have to motivate themselves to study.
- NSUT Delhi does not only have an outdated curriculum but also has a number of irrelevant courses. This makes the students lose interest in the branch.
- It may have the DU tag but rarely do recruiters know about this. Its brand value is not at par with other DU-affiliated colleges.
- The placement scenario is pathetic and the institute releases not have much official data on the same. The exceptional cases of students getting placed in big companies like Google have nothing to do with the institute but the student's hard work.
- Being a government college the administrative department is pathetic and laid back.
- The Institute does not enjoy much reputation outside Delhi and is even unknown to many.
- The campus is small around 140-150 acres and the infrastructure is in a pathetic state.
- The institute has a policy of 85% reservation for Delhites which limits the crowd diversity and your college experience as a whole.
- The college has a non-existent alumni network.
So, unless you have no other options it is better to not consider joining NSUT Delhi. You might end up ruining your career.
What is PG life like at JIPMER?
The PG life at JIPMER is extremely tiring and the clinical branches are hectic You will hardly get 4-5 hours of sleep a day but things will get better after 6 months. The academic environment is without doubt one of the best in the country with a healthy good senior-junior rapport. Students take their thesis work quite seriously.
The PGs hail from different corners of the country so you get to meet a highly diverse crowd with different levels of intellect and talents. many different types of people. Hard work is the common unifying factor among them.
Infrastructure in Jipmer has been constantly improved over the past few years and the hostel facilities are amazing. Decent food is served in the mess and students have 24/7 access to the internet. Some of the best PG departments of JIPMER are Medicine, OBG, Pediatrics, Anaesthesia, Dermat, Opthal, ENT, etc
Overall, PG life at JIPMER is quite challenging but the experience and the JIPMER tag are definitely worth it.
What is the scope of doing an MBA from IGNOU? Is it acceptable by MNCs?
IGNOU is recognised by AICTE and is run by the central government. So if you are looking for a government job then it’s not an issue. Also, IGNOU is better than many small universities like SMU (Sikkim Manipal University).
IGNOU is the best option if you are tight on budget or you prefer learning while earning.
MNCs prefer a formal education of 15 years. For additional education, you can go for IGNOU. But if your Bachelor's Degree is also from IGNOU then this might be a problem at the time of employment.
It’s important to note that at the time of employment regular colleges are always given more preference than distance education. So it’s recommended you pursue MBA from a regular college. Let IGNOU be the last choice under special circumstances such as a tight budget or preferring distance learning due to personal reasons.
How do I prepare for the IIIT Hyderabad PGEE exam for the computer science branch?
My sister gave IIIT Hyderabad PGEE Exam in 208 and claims it to be easier than GATE. The number of questions varies every year but the pattern somewhat remains similar. The exam had two papers.
Paper 1 - Aptitude (Time: 90 minutes)
- This one comprised 40 questions out of which 20-25 were quantitative questions, 5-10 questions were based on programming and mathematics, and 10 questions were based on comprehension
- Some of the most common topics covered were Calendar, Clocks, Directions, Blood Relation, Time and Distance, Probability Syllogism, Number and Series, Data sufficiency, and Propositional logic.
- As a whole the level of difficulty was easy to medium.
Paper 2 - Technical (Time: 90 minutes)
- This paper comprised 60 questions out of which 20-25 questions were from previous years Gate/Isro paper. The remaining questions were related to simple subject knowledge.
- The level of programming questions and data structure questions was higher than in the Gate exam.
- Each question had more than one answer and not ticking all the right ones would lose you marks.
- Again, the level of difficulty was easy and anyone who had cleared GATE could clear this too.
It's best to adopt the same strategy you used for GATE preparation and you will surely get good results.
What is your review of Indian Institute of Management, Udaipur?
Every IIM boasts of top-notch infrastructure, talented peers in the batch, industry connection, pedagogy, etc. However, there are various aspects that set apart IIM Udaipur from other IIMs. Some of these are
- Customized programmes like Rural Immersion, Global Immersion
- The highly esteemed faculty which help in the holistic development of students.
- Students are made to organize and run various clubs/committees and summits inculcating leadership skills in them.
- Live projects and entrepreneurial initiatives made to the classroom learnings.

Both MAMC and KGMU are top medical colleges in India. However, MAMC has a slight location advantage over KGMU and is also known to have a better environment for medical education.
Here is a brief comparison of these colleges based on common aspects
- Infrastructure : KGMU has a much better infrastructure than MAMC with around 4500 beds and 80 departments with it's own cancer institute whereas MAMC has a bed capacity of 2800. Despite being a government college, KGMU is well-maintained and clean.
- Campus : KGMU has an exceptionally beautiful campus and the MAMC campus cannot even be compared to it.
- Faculty : Although both colleges are known to have excellent professors, MAMC does give a slight edge to KGMU in this aspect. It has some very renowned faculties of India second only to the faculty in AIIMS.

How are the boys’ hostel at IIT Kanpur?
There are a total of 4 boys’ hostels namely, Hall 2,3,5, and 12. The oldest halls are 2,3 and 5.
Halls 2 and 3: These halls provide a three-seater room. Initially, you might feel congested but soon you will adapt yourself to the limited space. I’m the 2nd and 3rd year, one boy will be removed and only the 2 of you will be left.
Hall 5: Although you will be sharing the room with just one student, you will realize that the size of the room is smaller than 2 and 3. Again in the 2nd and 3 rd years, you will get the entire room to yourself.
Hall 12: This hostel has the best rooms that are well furnished and with great facilities. The luckiest people get to stay here.
It’s important to bear in mind the fact that the above details were limited to BTech students only.
