What branch is better to join at RGPV Bhopal to get a good campus selection?

RL
Rupali Lalwani Posted On : November 3rd, 2022
B. Tech from Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya , Bhopal (Graduated 2017)

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.

What are the facilities in the VNIT Nagpur campus?

SP
Sanjana Patil Posted On : November 20th, 2023
Studied at VNIT, Nagpur

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.

Except IBS Hyderabad, which IBS campus is good?

CP
Chinmay Paradkar Posted On : February 16th, 2023
BBA Economics and Finance & Marketing and Business Strategy, ICFAI Business School, Hyderabad (2019)

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. 

  • If you want to pursue a career in Finance so go for IBS Mumbai 
  • If you want to pursue a career in Marketing or in HR then go for IBS Pune or IBS Bangalore
  • If you want more companies in every field then IBS Gurgaon is best as its average free package is more than almost all IBS colleges except Hyderabad

I hope I have conveyed my point clearly.

What is life like for a fresher at IIT Madras?

RM
Ritika Mukharjee Posted On : March 31st, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM)

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.

How is life at Thapar University for 1st year students?

DB
Danish Bose Posted On : August 9th, 2021
Studied at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology

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.

How is it like being at FMS Delhi? Would you trade your life with someone studying in top IIMs A B or C?

GY
Gaurav Yadav Posted On : January 10th, 2023
MBA in Marketing, Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi (Graduated 2002)

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.
