How is the campus life at NIT Durgapur?

RS
Raghav Saini Posted On : September 7th, 2023
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology Durgapur (2022)

Like everyone else, I too was a little skeptical about NIT Durgapur during admissions. But as time passed by, I enjoyed my campus life and made numerous friends..

The campus will allow you to meet people from different backgrounds. You’ll even get in touch with some foreign students. Within a few weeks, you’ll make new friends. 

There are many clubs at NIT Durgapur and you can join more than one. Some of these are- Music Club, Dance Club, Literary Circle, CCA, MNTC, Spic Macay, etc. There is no favoritism during club selections. You’ll get to know of hangout spots like NIT Duck Pond or Techno.

As far as academics is concerned, there are some exceptional teachers in every branch who will light up your passion for learning.For example, SG sir in the EE department. Academics has become stricter since course and semester structure were revised a few years back.

During your final year, placements will be the most important. Do not worry, the placement record of NIT Durgapur is good. You’ll find that most students study only a week before exams. But make sure you know your subjects well. Otherwise you’ll face problems during the placement season.

NIT Durgapur will give you freedom. But you’ll soon realize the responsibilities that accompany it. Campus life, especially hostel life, is great.

AS
Anubhav Sharma Posted On : May 14th, 2021
Manipal University

I am going to talk about what makes Manipal University special. As I know a thing or two about the institute through my friends who are studying there. 

  • It is among the best medical colleges in the country. The faculties are great and there is scope for research. These are the reasons why it has been given special status. 
  • Among all the private institutions in the same field, Manipal is ranked at 5th which shows the promise of more development. 
  • MIT became autonomous back in 2000 and within only 20 years it has become one of the top 50 engineering colleges in the country, out of 10000. The placement statistics of MIT are also improving with the passing years.
  • It was ranked top among all the private institutes of India by QS World rankings.
  • The infrastructure facilities provided at the campus are great. 
  • Although MIT has a higher course fee with the brand name it’s easier to find private funding.

How can I reach NIT Hamirpur?

PM
Poushali Mandal Posted On : September 13th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur (2017)

There are three modes of transport to reach NIT Hamirpur, the road link, rail link, and air link. However, one needs to reach Delhi first. 

Road Link:

  • Reach the ISBT KASHMIRI Gate Bus stand and get on a bus to Hamirpur. In case no direct buses are available, get on any bus going to UNA or CHANDIGARH.
  • Go for bus services like HRTC, Punjab Bus Road Corporation, and Haryana Bus instead of private ones that are expensive. 
  • You can also book your tickets in advance through a bus ticket booking app.

Railway Link:

  • Sadly, Hamirpur has no railway connectivity and the nearest broad gauge train head is at Una, at a distance of 72 Km from Hamirpur. 
  • You can reach Una from Delhi via two trains (Himachal Express (14553)& Jan Shatabdi (12057)). It takes around 10 hours. These run between UNA HIMACHAL (UHL) and DELHI(DLI) throughout the week.
  • One can go to and from Hamirpur and Una via Bus or Taxi. 

Air Link

  • The nearest airport is at Dharamshala which is about 75 Kms from Hamirpur. 
  • Air India and Spicejet fly between Delhi and Gaggal daily. Additionally, there are regular flights up to Chandigarh, which is about 200 KM from Hamirpur. 

Hope this solves your query!

Why are the BITS Pilani cut offs so low this year?

AB
Arun Biswas Posted On : August 5th, 2023
Studied at Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra

The three major reasons for the lower cutoff at BITS Pilani are listed below

Increasing Seats – In the current scenario, IITs are far more developed and are the top institutes in India. An increase in the number of students is directly proportional to the probability of success. So, BITS follows the same pattern used by the smart IITs in India

Increasing Fees – There is a general tendency among students to opt for colleges that are relatively more costly than others, which is evident from institutes like IITs, Harvard, and so on. BITS also started to follow the trend.

Third-Party Factors – As we know, most of the students were attracted to IITs mainly because of the brand name. So the competition level is very high here, so most of the students will choose institutes like BITS, which have lower cutoffs.

Yes, it’s certainly true that IISc Bangalore is just getting better day by day. In fact, its current rankings have a lot to say about its fast-paced development.

  • IISc Bangalore Overall ranking by QS World University is 155 out of 1400 colleges in International in 2023

These excellent rankings are a testament to IISc gaining popularity. Being the pioneer of education it is, it’s hard to get admission here both at UG and PG levels. IISc has a thorough screening process followed by an interactive PI session.

IISc definitely deserves all the fame it receives. It was directed by none other than C V Raman, C N R Rao, Satish Dhawan, and others who were pioneers of Science in India and have produced innumerable notable alumni.

Can anyone give more insight to AIIMS Nagpur as many are saying it's not worth taking an admission there? What about patient load?

PC
Pradeep Chowdhuri Posted On : June 3rd, 2023
AIIMS Nagpur

AIIMS Nagpur was established in 2012 and has grown at an exponential rate ever since then. Similarly, the older AIIMS were once new and they proved their credibility through their growth and achievements. New AIIMS have a better development rate than a new govt medical college. It operates from a permanent fully functional campus. The campus is beautiful and the infrastructure is state of the art being an institute of national importance with a huge fund from the central government. It also enjoys a locational advantage being located in Nagpur, the zero mile of India. Apart from the faculties, AIIMS tag, low fees, and excellent academics there are many more reasons why people consider AIIMS Nagpur as a preferable choice to other AIIMS

  • There are interns to guide you
  • Owing to the recent PG courses, there will be junior resents, making it feel like a developed college 
  • Excellent academics are taught by highly qualified teachers.
  • The college is fully facilitated with the best amenities a well-developed college has. 
  • The fees are extremely low around INR 
  • Gym facilities are also available.
  • As for the patient flow, like any other AIIMS, people from all over the country flock to AIIMS Patna for their treatment. 
  • AIIMS Patna is one of the most disciplined AIIMS with strict rules and regulations to maintain the decorum of the institute.

The high cutoffs of AIIMS Nagpur again are a testament to its worth and credibility so go for it without any hesitation.

How difficult is it to study in KMC Manipal for a North Indian? One of my friends studied in KMC Mangalore but lives with her mom because of issues like language, food, etc.

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : September 28th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Trust me there are no issues at all for a North Indian to study at KMC Manipal. Almost 60–70 % of students are North Indians. Almost everyone you have to interact with knows Hindi. However, you might face issues with clinical postings because most patients have only a basic understanding of Hindi. You will have to learn basic Kannada for which classes are taken in college in the second year.

The food is not a big issue at all because breakfast is South Indian comprising dishes like mini dosas, idlis, vadas. Bread, butter, and jam are served daily. Students are given rajma rice, Chole Bhature, and paneer once a week each. The roti served is very good and you will get Dal and rice daily. 

Additionally, there are many that sell delicious food around the campus. There is also a mall within a 10-minute walking distance so you can visit Pizza Hut, Domino's, and CCD anytime.
