Studies Physics at University of Delhi

Delhi University has an elaborate admission procedure. The various steps are:

  1. DU has no option for offline admission. You need to first fill out an online application. You will be asked to fill in the courses you are seeking and the marks you obtained in your board exams.

  2. Wait for the cutoffs. For BSc, cutoffs are calculated as follows 

Subject Cutoff Determined By
Physics, Chemistry, Zoology, Botany, etc PC & M/B
Mathematical Sciences, Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics Aggregate of marks in mathematics, one language subject and two best elective subjects.
BSc pass courses Aggregate of PCM
  1. The cutoff list is released shortly on its official website or even in newspapers. Check the college under which’s cutoff you fall and proceed to get admission.

  2. log in to the admission portal and select the college/program where you wish to take admission and meet the desired cutoff.

  3. After getting the printout of the admission form, visit your college and get your documents verified. Fill out any additional forms and attach essential documents.

  4. The college will then approve your admission on the UG admission portal

  5. Log in to the UG admission portal to make the online admission fee payment through the available online payment options.

Chances are you could not get into the desired college. In this case, you can wait for subsequent lists as DU releases 5 cutoffs. You can then follow the same procedure from step 4.

Is an integrated MSc in mathematics and computing in BIT Mesra a good option?

DG
Deepmoy Ganguly Posted On : August 9th, 2023
studied at Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra

Maths and Computing is considered one of the best branches after CS in IITs today. The BIT tag is also quite popular among engineering aspirants so many enthusiasts of Math and CS  go for this branch to avail the opportunities this field offers. From what I have heard, the syllabus is at par with industry needs and the faculty pool is very passionate and approachable. 

Mathematics is an indispensable part of Computer Science whether it’s research in data science or development. you need to be proficient in math. This course is designed to bridge the gap between the two which it purposely does, opening gates of innumerable opportunities. 

To make the most of this branch, start concentrating on Core Mathematics and programming/DS/competitive programming right from the first year. Start working on a project by the end of the first year and go for an internship in the software domain. By the end of the 4th year, you will be proficient in most CS skills making it possible for you to sit for maximum placements.

So, taking IMSC in Mathematics and Computing at BIT Mesra will be a good decision if you stop comparing your branch with others. The only drawback is that it is not a technical degree but that does not matter in the long run.

What is your opinion of the IIT Madras online BSc degree in data science? Will it lead to high paying jobs?

CB
Chandrani Banerjee Posted On : March 29th, 2023
IIT Madras (2018)

IIT Madras offers an online graduate program in data science, which has no age or stream restrictions, and is appealing due to the reputation of the institute and the high demand for data science courses.

The program is divided into three levels, with varying durations, courses, and fees.

However, there are several shortcomings to the program, according to reviews and interactions with IIT Madras students, including:

  • The time factor: The program requires a long time span for completion, with the expectation of 10 hours per course per week, which may be difficult for busy professionals.
  • The experience factor: The course focuses more on theory than practical problem-solving, which may be less useful in the industry. Practical project-oriented training and experience are more valuable in the current job market.
  • The attention factor: The program offers recorded classes instead of live sessions, which may result in less individual attention and doubt clearance.

Other online training programs, such as Skillslash, upGrad, and Great Learning, offer courses that stand out in merit, providing live sessions, project experience guided by industry experts, and career advice.

The online BSc Data Science program offered by IIT Madras is costlier compared to other institutes offering the same program. Some other institutes also offer easier installment plans.

IIT Madras does not guarantee a job or placement after completion of the program.

Therefore, it is best to opt for programs that offer industry experience and save on costs, like the one offered by Skillslash, to ensure job opportunities in the future.

How is B.Sc Economics at NMIMS Mumbai?

PJ
Pooja Johar Posted On : June 29th, 2021
MBA, SVKM's NMIMS, Batch 2017-19

The B.Sc Economics course offered by the Sarla Anil Modi School of Economics of the NMIMS Mumbai is great and will be a wonderful experience if you factor out the cost of the course.

Academics:

  • The course is well balanced and the pedagogy not only includes core subjects but also from fields such as psychology, sociology, political science, IT, etc.
  • The institute also hosts many guest lectures and seminars which offer a better understanding of the real world.
  • The demerit of the course is that it is too focused and requires a lot of attention. Attendance is taken seriously.

Fees:

  • The yearly fee for the batch of 2017-20 was INR 2.5 lakhs.
  • The university provides very limited accommodation options, so you need to live for yourself in Mumbai. Depending on your lifestyle and accommodation you will need another INR 3.5 lakhs to INR 7 lakhs per annum towards living expenses.

So even if you take the lower amount, you will need close to INR 18 lakhs to INR 20 lakhs for the whole 3 years of the undergraduate program.

Placements:

Here are the placement stats released by the department for the batch of 2016-19.

  • Total number of students – 87
  • Number of students opting for placements – 18
  • Percentage of students placed who opted for placements – 77%
  • Highest salary – INR 11.60 lakhs per annum
  • Average salary – INR 4.60 lakhs per annum
  • Some recruiters – PwC, KPMG, Nomura, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Mu Sigma, JP Morgan India Services, IDBI Federal Life, etc.

The experience is really good, but choose the institute only if you are willing to pay the huge fees for your undergraduate.
