How did you react when you got into AIIMS Delhi?
Every student who is from a financially weak background with big dreams must have felt ethereal happiness on getting selected for AIIMS Delhi. The same was the case with my sister.
Hailing from a middle-class family with limited funds to support her education, she was elated when she found out about her admission. She knew that getting into AIIMS was just the beginning and not the end of her dream, but getting into AIIMS Delhi in itself wasn’t a cakewalk. It brought her one step closer to her dreams. Today she has almost completed her degree and is on the verge of achieving her dream!
Is IIT Guwahati becoming the next IIT Kanpur?
Both IIT Guwahati and IIT Kanpur are well-respected institutions, known for their high-quality education and research. Comparing the two is already justified and saying that one institution is becoming the next of the other is more so. Both institutions have their strengths and areas of expertise. Yet, if I was to choose one I would have always gone for IIT Kanpur.
Some points that favor my preference are as follows:
- The quality of coursework at IIT Kanpur is extremely challenging and will keep you on your toes always. It offers the best quality of education and you will learn much more than other IITs if you are regular to classes and take your academics seriously,
- The usual schedule of a student at IIT Kanpur is not always jammed, unlike the general opinion. The timings of the clubs align with the classes and you can take out time for both if you are good at managing your time well.
- Another challenging aspect of IIT Kanpur is its tough grading system, (10,8,6,4..) under which anything below 10 is 8. Thus you are under tremendous pressure to maintain your CGPA and is enough of a motivating factor.
Overall, even if Guwahati was to be compared to IIT Kanpur, it still has a long way to go until it becomes the next IIT Kanpur.
Is pursuing MA (international relations) from JNU worth it?
JNU MA International Relations is among the best master's courses in International relations in the country. If you want to understand the different dynamics of diplomatic relations, this is the best place to be in. The faculties of the School of International Studies at JNU are the leaders in their respective fields.
After completing the course you can join embassies, academics, think tanks, or work as a diplomate. The syllabus of JNU IR can be quite useful if you are planning on preparing for civil services.
What are the best colleges in Delhi University??
Every college affiliated with Delhi University offers premium education. It’s difficult to say which is the best. Yet I have made a list of top 10 colleges based on the cutoffs, results, and infrastructure.
- SRCC- SRCC or Shri Ram College of Commerce is well known for its Economic Hons. Apart from imparting the best education in commerce, it also conducts excellent placement drives.
- Hindu College- This college is best known for its Mathematics Hons. In fact it’s a good college for all science courses.
- St. Stephen College- This college does not follow DU Admission procedure but has one of its own. This college is also good for science courses
- Ramjas College- This is the best college for History Hons. Well known for its sports team, Ramjas College has connections with some foreign universities.
- Miranda House- In 2017, this college ranked 1st by the Ministry of Human Resources and Development (MHRD). This is one of the best all-girls colleges with an active placement cell.
- Shri Venkateswara College- This college is the best in South Campus for all the courses in general.
- LSR( Lady Shri Ram College For Women)- This is a good college for both commerce and arts.
- A.N.D.C.- Established in 1991, Acharya Narendra Dev College is the youngest college of DU. It is a primary college for science.
- Hansraj College- This college is one of the largest constituent colleges of Delhi University.
- A.S.R.D.- A.S.R.D. or Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma College ranked 5th by MHRD.
All these colleges have active placement cells, experienced faculty and best facilities.
What is the difference between IES and GATE?
GATE and IES, are very well known among graduate engineers. The IES exam is carried out annually by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) and the GATE exam is administered by Bangalore's Indian Institute of Science (IISc) or any of the seven IITs.
Syllabus and paper pattern:
- The complete engineering syllabus is covered by the IES exam, while GATE covers a portion of this syllabus and some other topics useful for higher studies.
- While GATE tests problem-solving ability, IES tests conceptual capability.
- The IES exam paper contains questions of the objective and subjective type and a total of 4 papers, while the GATE exam paper only contains questions of the objective type and only 1 paper.
- Only in the subjective paper, a calculator is allowed.
Difficulty Level & Duration:
It will be much more difficult to solve the questions you will face in GATE than in IES.
- In a single problem, GATE questions require you to apply many concepts. For that, you should have good problem-solving skills.
- While most of the questions asked in IES are direct formula or a single concept based.
- In GATE, in 3 hours, you have to solve 65 questions that are approximately 2.5 minutes per question.
- On the other hand, you have 120 questions in 2 hours to solve in IES. So, 1 minute per question which means you get nearly 2.5 times more “time” per question in GATE. But the difficulty level compensates for it.
Category of PSUs and Job Scope:
- UPSC conducts IES examination to recruit candidates under the Govt for different engineering departments (mechanical, electrical, civil, and E&T).
- Around India, The departments you get through IES are Indian Railway Service of Engineers, Indian Railway Stores Service, Indian Ordnance Factories Service AWM/JTS., Central Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Service, Geological Survey of India Engineering Service Gr ‘A’, Central Engineering Service (Roads), Gr ‘A’, Central Water Engineering Service Gr ‘A’, Indian Defence Service of Engineers, Central Power Engineering Service Gr ‘B’ and so on.
- The GATE exam is organized for higher studies (M.tech., PH. Ed. etc) and for placements in PSUs and Govt. Organizations.
From the above-mentioned factual information, the difference between the two should be clear. Rest all depends on your choice what you opt for.
Is an IGNOU degree accepted for jobs?
The degree you accept and consider is heavily influenced by the people who hire you, i.e. your employers. To give you an accurate picture, the syllabus and study material are far superior to Mumbai University, as it provides in-depth knowledge. If you want to continue your education, the IGNOU degree will not be accepted by any universities abroad.
When you present yourself to a prospective employer, make sure you have a compelling reason for choosing distance education. If the company believes you've spent your time productively improving your skills, you'll be rewarded for it.
Which college is better: VIT or KIIT?
I feel I am the right person to answer this as my brother and a friend are in VIT and KIIT respectively. From what I heard from them, I derived the following conclusions
- KIIT Campus is huge and you can find posters of Mr Achyuta Samanta at every corner of the campus. It looked more like an advertisement.
- The campus has a good location and enjoys the advantages of Bhubaneswar city.
- However, you will find very less diversity here as most of the engineering students are from East Indians.
- The hostel rooms are spacious and well-ventilated. The overall campus is clean and beautiful with decent facilities
My friend at VIT also experienced a similar situation as both are private colleges striving to attract students.

How are the hostels at BITS, goa?
The rooms are very spacious, with enough room for 8-10 people to hang out comfortably. You will find everything in the room to be cool and comfortable. Moreover, the weather in Goa is quite pleasant, so you won't have any trouble staying indoors in your room all day. From 2018 onwards, most students are allotted double-sharing rooms for the first year of their stay.
The hostels are relatively new as they were completed only in 2018-2019, which means they are immaculate, tidy, and well-maintained. The bathrooms are of western style, with 10 toilets per floor, almost like the ones you would find in a decent mall. You will have access to hot water throughout the day, and even at night if you plan on playing football at 12:30 AM.
If you are staying in D-hostels 1-4, you will be allotted a double sharing room that comes equipped with a cot, a big almirah with a fitted mirror, table, chair (not wooden), whiteboard, and a few storage racks. The rooms are spacious enough for 10-12 people to hang out comfortably. The electricity and internet facilities are excellent, although there have been a few power cuts lately, which may be a legitimate problem or just cost-cutting measures.
The common room in the hostel is huge when compared to the older senior hostels. It comes with a table tennis table, carrom board, chess board, and of course, a TV with cable.
