What are some reasons to not join BITS Goa?

SA
Saksham Anand Posted On : August 2nd, 2021
B.E Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering & Humanities, BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus (2019)

It is seen that joining every college has its advantages and disadvantages, no matter how renowned college it is. BITS Goa has very few reasons to not go there as everything is the best be it the campus, faculty, peers, or activities.

  1. You will meet amazing students at BITS Goa. The campus culture is very friendly and passionate.
  2. Faculty members are the best at the institution. Having great experience, they will offer you the best research opportunities and mentor throughout your academic career.
  3. Various clubs are present in BITS Goa. You will enjoy each and every one of them and learn a lot of new things.
  4. Goa is a famous tourist destination and the exposure it offers will always amaze you.
  5. The weather in Goa is beautiful and you will always love it outside.
  6. After spending your entire four years of your life in Goa you will not like any other place due to the weather and you will not enjoy the company of any other peer after passing from BITS Goa.

However, I feel there is a disadvantage at the campus. There is no mandatory attendance system followed which will make you very lazy and often led to missing classes. You will then depend upon the last-minute notes for preparing for exams.

What is your review of Acharya Bangalore B school, Bangalore?

SR
Saidur Rahaman Posted On : July 1st, 2021
MBA Marketing, Acharya Bangalore B-School, Bangalore (2019)

I know a few people from ABBS, and based on what I heard from them I will suggest that keep an open mind and do not take admission in ABBS for PGDM as it’s definitely not equivalent to an MBA. Also, maximum people there speak the local or regional language.

Though, ABBS has beautiful Infrastructure and some good faculties with the potential to share immense knowledge with you; but, other colleges such as PESIT or AIMS or Christ or Alliance or Ramiah or Jain are better options for a management degree.

Here are the recent placement highlights for the institute.

Average CTC

4 LPA

Highest CTC

7.2 LPA

Placement Average

80%

No of offers

142

If ABBS is what you choose, then appear for PGCET provided you're from Karnataka and get into MBA and not PGDM.

How do I calculate percentage from CGPA and SGPA Pune University?

MD
Mohit Desai Posted On : May 4th, 2026

CGPA and SGPA to percentage conversion at Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU), Pune:

SPPU uses:

Percentage = (CGPA - 0.5) × 10

same formula applies for SGPA to semester percentage: Percentage = (SGPA - 0.5) × 10

examples:

  • CGPA 8.0 ? (8.0 - 0.5) × 10 = 75%
  • SGPA 7.5 ? (7.5 - 0.5) × 10 = 70%

this is SPPU's officially published formula under the CBCGS scheme. for official documentation purposes (job applications, higher studies), get a conversion certificate from your college which is attested by SPPU. some employers and foreign universities ask for formal documentation rather than self-calculated figures. check the latest SPPU circular at unipune.ac.in if you want to verify the currently applicable formula for your specific batch.

Which is better IIM or NICMAR??

AG
Akriti Gupta Posted On : May 17th, 2023
lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

It is pretty clear that IIMs are better than NICMAR. I am assuming you are talking about new generation IIMs. 

IIMs have a different reputation in the corporate world. All companies die to recruit candidates from IIMs, and in the future, run values of IIMs are only going to increase, and an IIM tag can help you in reaching a CXO level in the corporate world plus IIMs offer a great culture and students life, various clubs and committee and various case competitions in IIMs will help you grooming, and you can make some good connections with the IIM fraternity.

Here are the steps to apply for a transcript. 

  • First of all, you will have to get attested all the transcripts photocopies by your college principal and then send all these transcript copies to the Registrar/Controller of Exams JNTUK.
  • You will have to include some other important documents such as xerox of your Aadhar card, academic records request form which will be provided by WES by filling section A and get it signed by your principal at the end of section B, and a formal letter requesting your Registrar/Controller of Exams of JNTUK to give you WES address and reference number. 
  • Then pay the required amount for the transcripts by visiting the website of the JNTUH examination and by clicking on the highlighted link. Complete the payment as per the given instructions. Do the payment for postal charges for WES. Attach the payment receipt too. 
  • Upon receiving your mail, the university will send your scanned copies to WES and they will also send the attested transcripts to WES by post.

This is the complete process by which the transcript of a student is being sent from JNTUK to WES.

How are IIM A students different from students of, say, SP Jain, NMIMS, FMS or JB?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : May 20th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

The peer pool of IIM Ahmedabad varies from that of other B-schools like SP Jain, FMS, and NMIMS because of the admission criteria and quality of intake. The majority of the IIM Ahmedabad batch comprises performing students with CAT percentile almost touching 100 percentile. and most of them got close to the 100 percentile in CAT and they get opportunities to study business studies in IIM A, B, and C. Very few students get into IIMs through the process of diversification only if they scored more than 80 percent grade in Xth, XII th and Graduate Examinations. The other B schools like SP Jain, FMS, NMIMS, or JB don’t have such strict criteria and the peer pool comprises students from diverse academic profiles rather than just top CAT rankers. 

This is the major point of difference between the two kinds of B Schools. As a result of this, IIM Ahmedabad students are offered better placement opportunities at the global level than these average B-schools.

NIT Warangal is one of the top NITs so the placements for every branch are great. 1st-year students receive internship offers from February. Placement opportunities are available in the second year also. It is better to get some practical exposure through internships rather than staying in college.

Many reputed VLSI companies visit the college for placements and internships like Intel, Nvidia, AMD, AMS, Xilinx, Analog Devices, Mediatek, cypress semiconductor, microchip etc

How difficult is to get a branch change at IIT Kanpur?

VS
Vijay Sarnaik Posted On : April 19th, 2023
Studied at IIT Kanpur

Branch change at IIT Kanpur can be a challenging process, as you have to meet specific academic and performance criteria.

The process usually involves filling out an application and meeting with a committee to review your request. The committee will consider factors such as your grades, extracurricular activities, research experience, and overall fit for the desired program.

Every branch has 2 vacant seats after the first year. Usually, there are more than 2 people who have a 10 CPI. To get a branch change into CS, one requires a perfect 10. While for other branches the situation is a bit flexible. If 3 students left a particular branch for another branch, then the seat availability for that branch will be 2+3, 5. This brings down the CPI cutoff.

It's important to keep in mind that the acceptance rate for branch change requests is typically quite low, so it's important to have a well-prepared application and be prepared for the possibility of not being granted a change.

How is the life of a middle class student at the Manipal Institute of Technology?

SV
Shyam Verma Posted On : September 8th, 2023
Computer Science, and Engineering, MIT Manipal

I am assuming that you wish to know if the crowd at MIT is friendly. As a middle class student, even I was afraid of being left out while joining MIT. I feared that the students might have hierarchies of sorts, based on wealth and social status. 

As an introvert, it was especially difficult for me to approach my batchmates. But the cultural diversity of my batch made me curious to know each one of the students. 

To overcome my hesitation, I decided to go and talk to my batchmates during breaks. I admit that it's quite nerve wracking to approach a stranger and talk to them.

I was pleasantly surprised that everyone was very sweet and welcoming. None was rude or arrogant, instead, they were as willing as me to drive the conversation ahead. This gave me so much confidence that I kept increasing my network beyond my batch. 

Earlier, I looked at people as mere strangers. Now I noticed how different each person was. Everyone had their own stories and passions. 

Through my experience I wanted to tell you that you’ll meet some amazing people at MIT. Manipal Institute of Technology offers great exposure and personality development to its students. You won’t find groupism based on wealth. So, irrespective of your background, you’ll have a good time over here.
