Some of the best student organizations at MSU Baroda are
Political
Social

All along with choosing an appropriate student organization don’t forget that all these are just part-time activities. Don’t forget your primary goal to study.
Some words that describe my brother's experience at FMS Delhi are relaxing, fun, and knowledgeable. Yes! FMS offers a blend of all three.
So FMS is a fun place to be provided that you manage your time well.
The various merits and demerits of NIT Jalandhar have been listed below. These points are based on personal experience only.
Pros-
The overall infrastructure is good with 2 basketball courts, 2 volleyball courts, a cricket playground, and 7 seven boys hostel. Also, some new buildings are under construction.
Food is much better than other NITs. Canteens are also available on campus.
You get tremendous help from seniors. There is no ragging at all.
A diverse range of student organizations and clubs to pursue your hobbies
The campus is far from the city and this distance ensures peace and a calm environment.
The campus has many hill stations nearby. So you can visit these places during vacations.
Cons-
The major shortcoming you will face here is that the teaching quality here is below average.
Language barriers exist here. It will be difficult for you if you don’t know Punjabi.
The hostels for first-year students are very old with no LAN and Wi-Fi facilities. Only mega hostels have such facilities.
The size of the campus is small compared to other NITs.
Every college will have its pros and cons. It’s you who decides how much you are willing to sacrifice for your goals.
My friend recently completed her graduation from NIT Kurukshetra and shared her experience of campus life there. Here are some snippets from her campus life at NIT Kurukshetra
Overall, life at NIT Kurukshetra is pretty vibrant and enjoyable.
LNCT, Oriental, and RGPV are some of the better colleges for campus selection in Bhopal. According to recent stats, LNCT has been offering the highest placements in MP in the last 2 years.
Major companies like: CTS, TCS, INFOSYS, HCL, WIPRO, L&T, ZENSAR, ORANGE, ARICENT, etc have visited LNCT for placement drives.
The prime branches like MC, CE, and EE have fewer companies visiting for campus recruitment with an average package of 1.8-3.0 LPA. If you are looking for higher packages in core branches, then definitely opt for post-graduation/GATE. Well-reputed public sector companies like NTPC, BHEL, ONGC, etc. require high GATE scorecards for their interviews.
VNIT Nagpur, like other NITs, is an Institute of National Importance.
It is located in Nagpur, so you can easily access all the basic facilities from there. But as far as campus facilities are concerned, they are very poor.
Both the college canteens available for Engineering students are kept in an unhygienic condition. Only a few of the menu items are actually available, and this is the situation at all times. A single playground is available for all the college students. So during inter-NIT practices, one can not possibly play one’s favorite sports over there.
The Badminton and TT courts however, are quite well developed. Other than that, the college campus is well maintained and covered in greenery. The Health Center within the campus is open for students, without any extra charges. An ambulance is also provided by the college in the health center. The maintenance fee for the center is included within the college fee.
In spite of the various shortcomings, you’ll enjoy your time at VNIT, especially the hostel life.
ICFAI or IBS has around 10 campuses all over India. IBS Hyderabad is the main and oldest campus and therefore has the best reputation. It’s highly coveted among IBS aspirants as it offers a kind of diversity that cannot be availed at any other branch. The companies that visit are from diverse sectors. Some of the major firms include JPMC, Moody’s, S&P, DE Shaw, BoFA, United Group, Big 4s, Cogni, and TCS. These companies help you kickstart your career in a variety of sectors.
Other than Hyderabad it’s the Mumbai campus that steals the limelight. The faculty is very good and the placement scenario is also not much different from Hyderabad.
I hope I have conveyed my point clearly.
As a fresher at IIT Madras, you can prepare yourself for a lot of surprises and unusual things like monkeys and blackbucks on campus. My sister was a fresher in Engineering Design and spent the best time of her life at IIT Madras making new friends from different cultures and managing to share a room with a stranger. She felt a sense of freedom never experienced before which made her all the more responsible.
Once the classes began, everything was set in motion from waking up early, grabbing a quick breakfast, and running to your classes. The professors were particularly strict regarding punctuality. The academic system of grading, teaching, and flow of the course is unique and well-structured.
Most of your free time will be spent in club performances, team orientations, and themed cultural and technical fest shows and events. The entire experience is unique as you get to explore things you were unaware of. Your days will be packed with tremendous activities to do, watching events, visiting places, and availing every opportunity that knocked on your doorstep.
Extracurricular activities are promoted through freshie nights and Marathi music events where students sing and dance to their fullest. IIT Madras coursework is unique and teaches you things covering a broad spectrum ranging from coding to math to physics to visualization to even sketching and drawing.
Life at IIT Madras will change you as a person, make you humble and broaden your horizons. Every day will be a new learning experience with new opportunities. You will leave the campus with a heavy heart and baggage full of memories, life lessons, experiences, and friendships.
Based on what I heard from my friends at the institute I will say life in the first year at Thapar University is great.
Boys have hostel B, C, FRC, and H. If you are in hostel B or C you are gonna have a wonderful time throughout.
When it was my friend’s first year they used to roam on the campus. They used to put off studies for the reading week which is the week before exams for preparation. There are also many extracurricular activities in which you can take part during your first year.
Winters are extremely chilling with lots of fog so if you are from a place where there is no fog you will love it.
Apart from missing your home and the food of the mess, you will surely enjoy your first year.
In comparison to the IIMs, FMS retains the advantages of small batch size and a fee structure that is relatively low. The small batch size simplifies placements significantly. With the exception of a few foreign consultancies, most of the top companies that visit the IIMs also visit FMS. Despite all of the university's bureaucracy, etc., there is a well-established alumni network that still ensures that things work out for the current batches.
Because of the small batch size, people are extremely competitive. This was in stark contrast to what you hear about the IIMs. Even though they have competition but they maintain some semblance of sanity due to the large batch. FMS can be difficult to manage at times, both in obvious behaviours and subtle actions by people you study with.
The culture at FMS is influenced by the culture of Delhi. In comparison, IIMs are unquestionably more cosmopolitan. Unless you have prior exposure, adjusting to a new environment can be difficult for people from very different cultures, such as the South or East. Otherwise, you'll have to learn to adjust the hard way. But it's still worth the effort. The people you meet in both locations are of the highest calibre. It is up to you to make the best of the situation.
Even if given the chance, there's no way one would like to trade places with the IIMs.
