What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at NIT Agartala?
The first year of college life for an engineering student is when your dream is in the initial stages. It's the year when you enjoy maximum free time and freedom and are not burdened with the pressure of academics, internships, or placements. However, some waste this time and regret it later. So you need to maintain a healthy balance between enjoying your college life as well as excelling in academics. Here are some tips that will help you maintain this balance
- Rather than following someone else's footsteps, it's best to focus on your own passions and goals. Prepare your own path and follow it religiously
- Socialize and make good friends. Your friends dont have to be your batch mates, some find good friends among their seniors too. Make friends you can not only hang out with but also get some motivation and support from during exams
- Dont fall for the trap ‘Grades Dont Matter’ because no matter how intelligent a person claims it, the truth is your CGPA does matter. Maintain a good CGPA round 8.5-9CGPA
- Maintain a good rapport with the faculty and try to be in their good books. The truth is no matter how good your CGPA is, if your image isn't good, you will get good grades.
- Either become a part of some academic clubs or study on your own through online courses (like Coursera). This will strengthen your basic and increase your chances of getting internships or projects.
- The first year will give you a lot of free time so indulge in one of the sports. You need a healthy body for a healthy mind.
Enjoy the first year at NIT Agartala to the fullest but not at the expense of ruining your academics.
Is it worth taking admission in XIMB for global mba?
First of all, no college or university can guarantee your placements. There is a placement cell in the college that takes care of placements, but Global MBA students cannot get decent placements by depending on the placement team.
Any college can only provide you with a degree and tag. To get a decent job you have to search on your own. Investing so much in Global MBA is not a good idea. Also, ROI is an important factor, which is why it is suggested that you do not invest in it.

Why do people flock to IIM Lucknow and leave SPJIMR and FMS, when IIML teaches management like engineering whereas SPJIMR and FMS have a more conducive environment to actually learn? They also get the
By ‘teaches Management like Engineering’ I assume what you mean is Management studies at IIM Lucknow are more strict, mundane, and repetitive. In this regard, I refuse to accept your claim as the reality is far from this.
People graduating from these institutes are youngsters with an age group of 20-25 so there is very little impact of the institutes' pedagogy on the learner’s ability to learn. These candidates are likely to be more serious regarding their growth and even sacrifice the fun of a typical B School life just to reach new heights. Anyone with such a mindset is likely to fare well anywhere irrespective of the choice of Institute.
I am going to specifically pinpoint the scenario at FMS because there is a general conception that FMS has a relatively chilled ambiance. The truth is I have seen many students working tremendously hard in their 2 years. They explore much more than academics and take part in many extracurricular activities because they know it’s their last opportunity before they enter the corporate world. The attendance rules although stricter than that at IIM Lucknow are no direct indication of the general discipline and the rigor of the curriculum. Every institute has its own tailored learning environment and it’s up to the students to make the most out of it.
People just ‘flock’ to a particular B School because of the sheep mentality. Rather their decisions are based on continuous analysis of various factors like tags, peer group, intended specialization, placement opportunities, personal goals.
Should I take admission in IIM Shillong this year or prepare again next year?
If you want to target ABC L, having a 70% BE may be a concern. However, it's important to consider your risk appetite and the rationale behind pursuing an MBA. Some people may choose to wait and apply to higher-ranked IIMs, while others may decide to take the risk and apply to a school like IIM Shillong. It's also worth considering that getting into a college with better rankings can be a great feeling, but you should also weigh the risk and return of your decision.
It might be helpful to consider the pros and cons of different options and try to get a bigger picture of your goals before making a decision. Keep in mind that some people with lower GMAT scores or undergraduate grades have been able to get into top schools like Kellogg's and Michigan, while others have been successful in technical fields without pursuing an MBA. Ultimately, it's important to consider your individual circumstances and make a decision that is right for you.
