There have been many rumors circulating about NIT Kurukshetra becoming an IIT in the coming years. However, no such changes have been made so far or any official announcement has been made regarding the same. Some even claimed that the committees visited NIT Kurukshetra to determine if it was eligible to be converted to an IIT but there have been no concrete evidence to prove the same.

Given below are some reasons, why I believe NIT Kurukshetra should be turned into an IIT Kurukshetra

1. Firstly, the state of Haryana has no IIT as of now. IIIT Sonepat, whose mentor is NIT Kurukshetra, is under development. So it’s better to convert NIT Kurukshetra into an IIT rather than making a whole new institute. That might take a lot of time and even funds.
2. NIT Kurukshetra which was established in 1963 and has a rich legacy that makes it the right choice to become an IIT. 
3. The institute has a huge campus and excellent placement record, especially for CS and IT branches. If it becomes an IIT, the placement scenario will only become better both for tech and non-tech branches.
4. The institute conducts frequent revisions of the entire syllabus and ensures that it is at par with the industry's demands. However, the faculty and the research scope need to be improved before converting it into an IIT.
5. Its location is perfect for an IIT as it is in the heart of Sid Haryana.

I hope it becomes an IIT soon!

As a student of NIT Durgapur, I am listing down the reasons why this college is a good choice for students-

1. NIT Durgapur has a beautiful and lush green campus. You’ll really enjoy the beauty of this place.
2. It provides its students with all the facilities and opportunities.
3. It has a decent infrastructure that is improving at a rapid rate.
4. The Student Activity Centre (SAC) is the focal point of cultural and sports activities.
5. The college library is air-conditioned. You’ll find a good collection of books over there.
6. NIT Durgapur has an excellent faculty. Some of the teachers are really friendly and supportive.
7. The crowd is good. You will develop a good bond with your peers.
8. It has a strong alumni network. Alumni from NIT Durgapur have glorious careers in academics and industry.
9. It has a good fest culture. The five fests organized by our college are-Aarohan, Aavishkar, Recstacy, Verve, and Virasat. Aarohan is the annual techno-management fest. It is the 2nd largest of its kind in the entire eastern India. 

These are some reasons why NIT Durgapur is a good institute. According to me, you

should consider it for your higher studies.

One of my friends is an alumnus of IIT Madras and according to him, Professor V. Balakrishnan’s classes are must-experience classes at IIT Madras. However, he is not sure whether Prof. Balakrishnan teaches whole courses these days.

My friend was very fond of Prof. Balakrishnan and according to him, if you hear from any of your friends in the Engineering Physics/ Physics Grad stream that Prof. V. Balakrishnan is giving a guest lecture, make sure you attend it. You will learn something new and will be inspired.

The introductory part of the Indian edition of the Feynman Lectures was written by Prof. V. Balakrishnan if I am not wrong. You can read about him on Wikipedia. You will also find some of his finest lectures on YouTube.

His is classes on Quantum Mechanics and Dynamical Systems were my friend’s favorite.

Here are a few helpful tips for students starting their first year at KIIT University

• Don’t get overwhelmed by the huge syllabus as your notes are enough to clear the semester.
• Don’t skip any practical class because attendance in these classes carries marks. 
• Maintain a good rapport with the teachers and seniors to stay well-informed.
• Seek assistance from your assigned mentors as they are a big blessing.
• Participate in sports activities and other activities conducted by KSAC. There are more than 29 societies that find the one that aligns with your passion.
• Focus more on the subject you will be studying in the second semester.
• Is a great option for those looking for a design prospect for the Core job.
• If you are in a core branch but looking for IT jobs, start preparing from the 3rd year and score a CGPA of around 9.

I hope this helped you!

It is a bit difficult to get admission with this score, especially at an institute like BITS Pilani. Most students with lower CGPAs fail to satisfy the interviewers due to a lack of sufficient knowledge of the core subject. So it is better to find your interest in studying and attend the interviews with presence of mind and confidence.

The level of education at DTU directly depends on how much time and effort you are willing to invest in your academics. If you are a self-motivated person, then DTU will help you achieve your dream and become your stepping stone to success. Considering the fact that The Times of India ranked DTU as 1 out of 200 colleges in 2022, it surely has decent academic standards. Here are a few points you like to consider 

• Faculty: DTU faculty pool is heterogeneous comprising both good and bad professors. While some will always be available for assistance, some will just spill some bookish lectures and go. However, if you want to work on something particular, some faculties will guide you well.
• Course Structure: DTU course structure has been updated and it is now flexible allowing 3rd-year students to take electives of their choice. Additionally, the labs and subjects have been merged and relevant courses have been added. In all the new course Structure could be said in par with industry needs. Several non-tech courses that help in personality development have been added and the overall course structure has been updated to meet the recent industry needs.
• Projects: Students in the 2nd year have to give a term paper i.e. research on any topics on their own and give a presentation on it. In 3rd year you have two minor projects which have credits almost equal to your theoretical subjects. And in 4th year you have to submit two major projects. 
• International exposure: DTU has been holding many international conferences such as ICPIECES and ICAPIE. Additionally, guest lectures are conducted by well-known international professors. Techfest: The tech council has been working hard to improve the standards of the tech fests. Every society conducts its own fest and students can be seen participating actively. 
• Placements: The brand value of the institute and its extensive alumni network have been able to maintain a decent placement scenario at DTU.

So, DTU will be a great choice if you are ready to commit yourself to making efforts in addition to the opportunities provided by the college. 

I am a pretty average student who scored 80% in 11th and 93% in 12th. I was preparing for my JEE Advanced and took the entrance exam for Manipal as a form of practice.

I scored 155 in the entrance exam which was a good enough score to get me CSE at this institution.

The exam contains easy questions. Everything boils down to time management. There are 200 questions and the total time allotted is 150 minutes. With simple Math, you can figure out that each question gets 45 seconds. Now, all the questions in English can be solved instantly. Also, some questions on Chemistry will take no more than 10 seconds. Considering this, you’ll get an average time of 60 seconds to solve Math and Physics questions. This is more than sufficient time if your concepts are clear. 

In case you do not know an answer, mark the question for later. 140 is a good score to get you into CSE at Manipal Institute of Technology. So the entrance exam isn’t tough to crack, it just requires a good speed.
