Can I get admission into SOL DU from a Regular DU in my 2nd year?
Unfortunately no, there is no provision for transfer from SOL to a regular college at University of Delhi. It is so because SOL is an institution in itself, like any other college.
You can try to migrate into some other college but you will not be granted admission if your scores in SOL exams are not very high.
The students of SOL are often looked down upon when compared to regular colleges. Your marks will be scrutinized before you are allowed to migrate to the college. Most students are turned down because that would mean an increase in the workload.
How do hostel rooms of IIIT Hyderabad look like?
IIIT Hyderabad hostel rooms are like that of any typical hostel. They can easily house two students but sometimes are too cramped. The hostel rooms also have a cupboard which will hold most of your belongings. The beds are also of average size.
Usually, BTech students are allotted single occupancy rooms in the first 2 years after which they are shifted to their single rooms. These rooms are quite spacious than many other engineering college hostels. A friend currently in her first year at IIIT Hyderabad shared the following photo of her room
She claimed the hostels to be decent with wifi and laundry facilities.
What is the difference between IPM, IIM Indore, and IIM Rohtak?
IIM Indore IPM is better. This program was the first of its kind, in India and 6 batches have already graduated. As per the 2022 placement highlights, the average CTC for IPM was INR 25 LPA. At IIM Rohtak, IPM is a new course. The first batch will graduate in 2024.
Other than these factors, the two IPM programs vary in terms of course curriculum and selection criteria.
How's ECE at NIT Kurukshetra?
The ECE department at NIT Kurukshetra is average and not at par with NIT standards so go for it only if you are genuinely interested in the branch. Here are some strong reasons why I oppose joining this branch
- The classroom sessions are boring and only a few exceptional professors are even interested in teaching
- The workload is challenging and so is the curriculum. You will have to study really hard to maintain a good CGPA, something that directly affects your placements. It will be even more difficult if you lack interest in the branch.
- The placement scenario is also nothing you will be looking forward to. Only a handful of companies come for ECE students. The majority of the batch will be placed in IT companies, and for this, you will have to study extra CS subjects. The competition is overwhelming and you will feel drained.
The detailed placement statistics of the ECE branch at NIT Kurukshetra have been tabulated below:

How was your IIT Kanpur's MBA interview experience?
One of my friends had a great MBA interview experience at IIT Kanpur. She had a completely different and exhilarating experience which was nothing like what was going on there. In fact, the students being interviewed before she had been evaluated on the basis of their knowledge of Engineering that too from the 1st year. Almost everyone had no idea because around 6 years had passed and everyone had forgotten even the basic concepts let alone the questions they were being asked.
Before entering the interview room she was very scared and clueless. She found herself in a small room with 2 male panelists.
- The first panelist asked her about her most exciting aspect to which she told them about the book she was writing. They sounded curious and ended up hearing the entire plot.
- Next, she was asked if she liked traveling to which she told them about her dream destination being Iceland and how she had already traveled throughout India.
- They further asked her about her family and why she did not prefer IIM Lucknow despite being close to her home.
The interview ended on a friendly note and she left the room with a light heart. Surprisingly enough, she was able to convert.
