Why do so many people take Computer Science from IIT Bombay?

AB
Advaith Bhaskar Posted On : March 18th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (2000–present)

If I have to be honest, I think pursuing Computer Science at IIT Bombay is just a sheep mentality-driven dream pursued by a majority of Indians. Not many who take CS are genuinely interested and passionate about it, rather they opt for it because most genius minds consider it the best option.

The media comes to play as it advertises the highly inflated packages offered to CS students at IIT Bombay. The aspirant gets attracted to such glittering figures and flocks to IIT Bombay in the pretext to land similar packages. The media and society mold aspirants to believe that money is everything in one’s career and should always be the priority. As a result, students tend to opt for CS and don’t even consider other Engineering branches for fear of getting packages lower than those offered to CS students.

One can easily conclude that most engineering aspirants are unaware of their inclinations and thus become victims of sheep mentality. I have seen many students who join Computer Science and later realize that it’s not their forte.

Is CUSAT a good college?

AB
Ahalya Bose Posted On : March 31st, 2023
Studied at Cochin University (2019)

If you're considering CUSAT for your engineering degree, here are some important points to keep in mind:

  • CUSAT is a good college overall, but the quality of placements can vary depending on which branch you choose.
  • The CS, Safety, and Fire branches tend to have good placements, while Mech, Civil, and Electrical branches have poor placements. If you're in one of these branches and want a good placement, you may need to consider switching to an IT company.
  • If you're from North India, you may find that college life at CUSAT is particularly enjoyable compared to other colleges.
  • For most engineering degrees, it's better to get into one of the government colleges. However, if you're interested in Safety, Naval Architecture, or Marine Engineering, CUSAT is one of the best colleges in the country for these disciplines.
  • The syllabus and course content at CUSAT is excellent, which is a major advantage if you're interested in pursuing an engineering degree.

Overall, if you're looking for a good engineering college in India and are interested in one of the specific disciplines mentioned above, CUSAT could be a great choice for you. Just be aware of the potential differences in placements across different branches, and consider switching to an IT company if you're in a branch with poor placements.

How is a typical day at BHU?

HM
Harshita Mishra Posted On : November 17th, 2022
Studied at Banaras Hindu university (Graduated 2018)

The timings of the classes are usually around 10 am. 

  • Hostels- The hostels at BHU are lively and you will miss them once you go back home.

  • Playgrounds- Cricket and Basketball games are held regularly.

  • Smoking is banned

  • Food- The mess food is good and consists mainly of potato based foods.

  • Network- The hostels have serious network issues and make it difficult to place calls. But the internet speed is high. You will be provided a user ID and password of your own. You get only 4 gbs a day, which is more than enough.

Although there are no good malls around, you can still watch movies at low rates. 

The college campus is not one like a Bollywood movie but you are sure to make thousands of memories here.

How could I get the previous year's questions from the NICMAR entrance test?

SS
Swasti Sharma Posted On : September 22nd, 2021
Studied PGP ACM at National Institute of Construction Management and Research

No, that option is not accessible. You can refer to CAT and XAT exam papers. The pattern will be the same. The NICMAR Entrance Exam will be a stroll in the park. So don't be too concerned about it.

There are three rounds in total.

In writing: It's the same as any other admission exam that tests aptitude and grammar.

Discussion in groups: The majority of GD comes from current events or any construction or project instance.

For GD, you should begin reading the newspaper extensively for the past few months prior to your exam. The topics will be broad, with no discernible trend, although they will mostly be current.

Personal Interview: They will ask you HR, technical, and other questions.

So, you require a paper only for the written round, but if you prepare a little bit of aptitude and grammar from RS Sharma, you will not need any previous paper.

Anna University: I've discontinued at the end of my 2nd year, and now sitting in home my question is can I join another college starting from 1st year?

VK
Vigneshvaran K Posted On : December 1st, 2022
Studied at Anna University, Tamil Nadu, India

If you have discontinued at the end of your 2nd year, then the best option is to fill in a gap certificate and restart from the same college itself. But if you are determined to change your college then you will have to deposit the fees of the remaining year and get a leaving certificate. Using this certificate you can start applying for other colleges anytime.
