Which is comparatively better, Silchar Medical College or NEIGRIHMS?
I belong to Silchar and pursued my MBBS from NEIGRIHMS. This makes me qualified to talk about both. Here are some details on both these institutions-
NEIGRIHMS:
- It is a central government institute with a state-of-the-art infrastructure. The MBBS faculty is well experienced and dedicated, though less in number.
- After completing your UG from this institute, you’ll be well-equipped with knowledge.
- Alumni from NEIGRIHMS go on to other prestigious institutions for their PGs. The hospital has a huge patient load, with cases coming in from all across the North East. So as a UG student, you’ll be at a surplus of cases.
- The climate and people of Shillong are both really good. The college campus is beautiful. It is the cleanest of all medical colleges in India.
SMC:
- SMC is an old institute located in Assam. It has a huge alumni network, having been an alma mater to numerous successful medicos.
- But like other state government institutions, you’ll learn mostly from the PGs and your seniors. It has a lot more PG students than NEIGRIHMS where PG courses are at an infant stage. The seniors are friendly.
- The faculty is less in number. The patient load is high, and residents have to work a lot. But it is one of the worst-maintained medical colleges in terms of cleanliness.
If you are a domicile of Assam, it is better to do your MBBS from SMC. After your graduation, go for rural posting. After all this, you’ll become eligible for state PG quota. NEIGRIHMS has a very high competition for PG seats, and getting in for a UR student is especially difficult.
Both are equally good colleges, and you should choose between them based on your own preferences.
Is it really tough to get admission to NITIE Mumbai?
One of my friends studied at NITIE Mumbai. According to him, it offers five different programs including an interdisciplinary Fellow program and a 1-year PGPEX program. The other three programs are –
- Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Engineering (PGDIE) which considers GATE score
- Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Management (PGDIM)
- Post Graduate Diploma in Sustainability Management (PGDSM)
PGSIM and PGDSM consider CAT scores for admission. The process of admission for all three courses remains the same.
- First, you have to clear the respective exams for eligibility i,e GATE or CAT.
- Then you have to clear a certain cutoff set by the institute for getting a chance to sit for the GD and PI which are necessary for admission.
- And then later on you will get admission based on your performance in all these fields.
- The GD happens for close to 20-25 minutes which is followed by a PI which usually lasts for another 15-30 minutes.
The PGDIM course usually commands a percentile of more than 97 in CAT to sit for the GD/PI and then your overall score will determine your admission. For PGDIE, a score upwards of 750 in GATE is required for admission.
As far as toughness goes, scoring well in CAT and GATE, which are themselves pretty difficult exams, is the most important parameter.
Is this true that a student having just 40 percentile gets an admission in UBS Chandigarh on the basis of the good score in 10th & 12th?
UBS Chandigarh has an attractive reservation policy during the admission process. This makes this institute stand out from other colleges. They reserve 50% of the seats. The reservation is given to various categories, which include sports, defense, riot/terrorist victims, freedom fighters, NRI/foreign nationals, wards of Martyrs, wards of Kashmiri displaced persons, single girl child, cancer/aids/thalassemia patients, youth festival participants, rural area students, SC, ST, OBC, and PWD seats. The vacant seats will automatically be added to the rest of the non-reserved seats (general category).
You won’t be able to secure a seat in the 40 percentile, even if you had a good score in your 10th and 12th examinations. Admission is completely based on the merit list (reservation included). If you belong to the general category, then you should have scored a minimum of 90 percentile to secure a seat in this college. They usually give importance to the score in the entrance examination and your performance in the interview, not the percentile.
Why should I join IIM Ranchi over other 2nd generation IIMs?
You may be considering enrolling in IIM Ranchi or IIM Tiruchirappalli as a student. These are the top two IIMs among the second-generation IIMs, with IIM Ranchi being slightly better. However, there are several factors that you should consider when deciding which institution to attend.
One important factor to consider is the faculty size and background. It is not just the number of faculty members that matters, but also their qualifications and expertise. All IIMs are generally equal in this regard.
Another factor to consider is the knowledge infrastructure, which refers to the library and other learning resources available to students. This can be an important factor, as access to these resources is essential for student success. IIM Ranchi may lag in this area compared to other IIMs.
Physical infrastructure, such as the availability of a residential campus, is also important. Many students value the college life experience and may want to attend an IIM that has its own campus. IIM Ranchi is currently operating on a temporary campus.
Specialized courses are another factor to consider. With the constantly changing needs of industry and academia, it is important to ensure that the IIM you choose offers specialized courses that align with your interests and career goals. IIM Ranchi does offer a specialized HRM course.
The teaching and learning environment, location, and placement record are also important factors to consider. IIM Ranchi has an advantage in terms of location, as it is located near XLRI in Jharkhand, and has a strong placement record.
Ultimately, it is important to carefully research and consider all of these factors before deciding which IIM to attend.
Should I join NIT Srinagar in the current situation? How is the CSE Department of NIT Srinagar?
NIT Srinagar has almost 100% placement in the CSE branch. This year, the average package offered to BTech CSE was INR 13.8 LPA. The overall department CSE in NIT Agartala is pretty good. Some students even receive more than one offer. Its highest package is at par with that of other NITs.
The CSE students get a lot of free time to learn new skills and programming languages. Moreover, Srinagar offers a great location and climate making it an amazing choice for nature lovers.
Unless you are getting a better South Indian NIT, CSE at NIT Srinagar is a decent option and can be considered.

How many diploma percentages are required for getting direct admission in the second year at Sardar Patel College of Engineering, Mumbai?
My friend used to be a student of Sardar Patel College of Engineering, Mumbai. According to her, the answer to your question depends on a lot of factors. They can be your category of reservation and the branch you aspire to pursue.
If you want to have chances of being considered for admission, your percentage should be above 90%. The cutoff changes every year, though.
My friend got admission in the second year after her diploma percentage was 90%. She was in the OBC category. For getting admission in the SPCE for the electrical stream without any reservations, securing a percentage of 88% to 89% in your diploma course in your final year is mandatory.
What are the tasks and questions asked in the CMC, Vellore interview? Can you elaborate about your interview experience?
There is no fixed pattern for the interview conducted by CMC Vellore in the last stage of the admission process. Usually, the shortlisted candidates are categorized into groups of 5 or 6, Boys and Girls, separately. There are 2 group observers for each group, called G.O. Students have to go through a number of individual tasks, group tasks, group discussions, and multiple interviews with their group observers.
- Individual Tasks : These include a combination of complex and simple tasks man to evaluate your intellect to identify the doable tasks instead of focusing on the undoable tasks. This actually is the medical concept of triage wherein during an emergency, the doctor should prioritize the patient for whom their immediate care would mean a difference between life and death.
- Group Task: These may include building a school classroom with the materials provided in a limited time period of course. This task evaluates your communication skills and your organization skills. These skills are crucial for saving a patient's life during the time of an emergency.
- Interviews: These are conducted to ensure you answer the same questions asked by different interviewers smartly. The most common question asked is “Why did you choose medicine”.
Hope you make it to CMC Vellore, one of the best medical colleges in India.
What is the objective of admitting freshers in Ivy B-Schools like IIMs, FMS, JBIMS, SIMSREE, SPJIMR, XLRI, etc.??
MBA admission in Indian B Schools is a fairly weird process in comparison to that of foreign B Schools. In India, the admission process requires a candidate to have some work experience and in certain B-schools, it even carries a certain weightage. But during Final Placements, this scenario changes entirely as the recruiters prefer freshers over experienced candidates. The major reasons for this contrast are:
- The recruiters offering Marketing roles are on the lookout for candidates who can initially go through a sales job for a few years. They believe that the route to Marketing is through sales only. Now Sales requires a lot of traveling that too to rural areas. The recruiters know that these tough job conditions cannot be undertaken by Experienced professionals and thus prefer freshers who they can mold easily.
- The companies offering Finance roles know that the candidates with prior work experience won’t be working for the long hours they require them to. So they prefer freshers who can work long hours without complaining.
Recruiters are looking for candidates with work experience of not more than 11-12 months. Honestly, this strategy is illogical as a person with more work experience is bound to excel much better than a fresher, and restricting him from getting a job just because they cannot be exploited to the fullest extent is a bit cruel.
The scenario is pretty much the opposite in foreign countries that prefer MBA candidates with work experience only. This is because in India MBA is considered a way to become more employable or earn a fatter cheque. Whereas in the West, it is a means to upgrade your career and take it to new heights. The entire concept of MBA is at fault in India thereby this illogical strategy.
In my opinion, MBA candidates should have a work experience of at least 1 year, only then they can harness the MBA program to the fullest and not approach it just as a source of placements.
