A student should take no more than 96 credits in BA (applicable for every subject).

To obtain a major in any subject, a student must have a total of 48 credits in that subject, which equates to 6 papers of 8 credits taken over three years. (2 papers per year)

The remaining 48 credits are divided as follows:

• In the first and second years, compulsory papers BSHF 101 and FST 01, each worth 8 credits.

• Students in their second year are required to take one elective course in addition to the compulsory course and the subject in which they are majoring.

• Applied Courses are for third-year students, and they can be taken for 8 or 16 credits.

• Students may take any subject from Group 1 to Group A1 in addition to Group A1.

As a result, the number of subjects taken each year is determined by the number of credits a student takes. If a 4-credit subject is chosen, the student should take two 4-credit papers for a total of 8 credits, increasing the number of papers.

If you are considering NMIMS MPSTME for doing an MBA Tech course, here are some things that you should know. 

• The course is good but it can’t be compared to the core MBA offered by NMIMS. Don’t join the institute just because of the brand name NMIMS.
• The institute has a strict 80% attendance rule.
• The living cost is quite high, especially if you are coming from Mumbai. You should consider it while calculating the course fee and the ROI.
• It doesn’t have a campus. 

Below are some of the pros of the MBA Tech course.

• Join the course if you want to learn about Management. 
• Choose the Mumbai campus, because of the exposure that you will get. There are some great student chapters like ACM, PMI, CSI, MUN, etc. The student council also organizes great events and great lectures.
• One of the biggest advantages of choosing this course is that you will get 50 marks in internal evaluation. So, passing the subjects is easier.
• Some of the management faculties are quite good.
• The curriculum contains two internships i.e. technical and management. You will get to learn a lot through these internships. You will save one year and gain 6 months of experience. 

NMIMS MPSTEM placement scenario is average. According to the recent placement highlights, the average CTC offered to the students is 7.95 LPA.

My brother had offers from IITs to choose any branch except CSE and chose Electrical Engineering in IIT KGP. To date, he does not regret his decision. There are ups and downs in every Institute; it just takes time to adapt yourself to such situations.

It is true that some professors overdo it and push you to the extreme, but if you look at this in a positive manner, it’s their pushing that eventually helps you succeed. There are many seniors who might make fun of your tiny efforts in the labs but trust me, today when they will look back, they will surely be regretting the time they wasted watching movies or series.

My brother told me that Electrical Engineering gave him so many friends and experiences that make him yearn for college life today. The labs are old-fashioned and lack much activity in contrast to a SigNet lab/ Power Systems lab.

• Curriculum: The primary aim of the course curriculum offered in Electrical Engineering at IIT KGP is to impart to students tools and skills that will make it possible for them to excel in departments such as Electronics, Communication, Computers, Aerospace, and Energy.
• Job prospects: An important point to note is that Electrical Engineering does not prepare you for a job but for higher education in the respective areas. Many people from the department pursue M.S. in Aerospace and Material Sciences. 
• Faculty: While many may not agree, the faculty is excellent except for a few. The cream faculty include Prof. D Das, Prof TKB, Prof S Patra, and Prof S Chattopadhyay among others. Interacting with them might change your opinion regarding the IIT KGP faculty.
• Research: The research is obviously not at par with that conducted in CS or EC, but it surely does justice to the department itself.

I think it’s high time people clear misconceptions about Electrical Engineering and develop a positive opinion about it. We should stop running after jobs and companies and in turn let companies seek us.

There are mentors available to the students, weekly live conversations with the professors, and question-solving sessions held online that do not conflict with the student's normal working hours, thus it is definitely worthwhile. All tasks are handled effectively by UpGrad. For further information, you may contact UpGrad.

The courses provided by Cloudxlab, E&ICT Academy and IIT Roorkee are well structured. All the credits go to the excellent CloudxLab team which provides constant assistance on issues related to labs and coursework via the discussion forum.

The course offers hands-on knowledge in Data/ Data Engineering technologies. It is suitable for anyone with basic programming knowledge, SQL database work, and an inclination toward Data Science. There is many differences in the price as well as the curriculum of the courses offered by E&ICT Academy, IIT Roorkee, and CloudxLab.

Merits

• Well-structured coursework taught through short videos and quizzes for evaluation 
• The discussion forum provides assistance in lab work and projects
• The solution of the project is available for assistance 
• The videos can be saved for future reference
• Courses are offered at a discount except the lab access

Demerits

• The project work has to be completed in the limited timeframe of 3 months
• Some Spark modules are difficult to comprehend especially by beginners
• The videos are extremely short and sometimes fail to explain the entire concept
• Lab web console and Hue editor face technical issues on a regular basis.

Ultimately it can be said that it is a decent learning platform that provides training at subsidiary rates and is growing at an exponential rate.
