Should I choose CSE in SGGS (Nanded) or VIT (Pune)?

AD
Aditi Deshpande Posted On : October 13th, 2023
Lives in Pune,Maharashtra

I have friends both in SGGS and VIT Pune so I can give you a detailed comparative analysis of both institutes based on some common aspects

  • Institutes: SGGSIE&T is a government-autonomous institute whereas VIT is a private autonomous college. So there is a huge difference in terms of fee structure and hostel facilities.
  • Campus: VIT is much smaller in comparison to SGGS. The former spreads over 17.625 acres while the latter is around 46 acres. SGGS also has a huge playground.
  • City Life: Situated on the outskirts of Nanded city, SGGS does not offer much exposure and lifestyle. Whereas in Pune, you can enjoy a vibrant city life with many places to hang out. However, the cost of living is more than in Nanded.
  • Establishment - VIT was established in 1983 while SGGS was established in 1981.
  • Faculty - VIT faculty is more well-versed than that of SGGS. Its academic ambiance is much better than SGGS. 
  • Departments: SGGS has 10 departments while VIT has around 15.
  • Placements: The placement scenario is much better at VIT Pune than at SGGS. Located in Pune, it is visited by many more and better companies. 

Although SGGS is better in most aspects, VIT Pune steals the limelight because of its amazing placement scenario. So choose wisely!

How many students from KMC Manipal qualify for the USMLE every year?

SM
Sonal Mishra, Posted On : September 28th, 2023
MBBS from Kasturba Medical College, Manipal (2024)

Clearing USMLE requires going through 3 steps. While most students clear the first step only a few are able to clear the second. Eventually, only 5–6 people every year from KMC are able to clear the final step and pursue the course. Students are given clear instructions regarding the approach they should adopt while answering the questions. Video conferences are held by lecturers who specialize in USMLE to train the students. Moreover, KMC is giving coaching modules and some questions to help them prepare for the same.

You can also seek help from your alumni for 3 years of residency in America. Under this, you will look after your 1-year expenditure given that once you complete your study in America, you will also look after the 1-year expense of any KMC student. 

So, approximately 5-6 students from KMC Manipal qualify for the USMLE every year.

How good are Placements in NIT Rourkela for M Tech CSE? Please Help

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 14th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

The quality of roles and packages offer to MTech CSE students of NIT Rourkela depends on individual skills and expectations and therefore cannot be generalized. 

Here is a brief overview of NIT Rourkela MTech in CSE 

Duration

2 years (Full Time)

Course Level

PG Degree

Total Tuition Fees

INR 3.56 Lakh

Total Seats

25

Highest CTC

INR 34.2 LPA

Average CTC

INR 12.1 LPA

Lowest CTC

INR 3.6 LPA 

Median CTC

INR 6.8 LPA 

Top Recruiters

Accenture, Adobe, Amazon, Capgemini, Deloitte, Goldman Sachs, IBM, Infosys, Reliance Industries Limited

Overall, the placement conditions are decent and not all students get placed. Most CS companies allow only BTech students to sit for placements and therefore Mech students end up in service-based companies like TCS, and IBM (GBS). This poor placement scenario stems from the outdated CSE curriculum at NIT Rourkela. The curriculum focuses on theoretical concepts only and students are not exposed to practical experiences.

So, I will suggest you go for CSE M.tech at NIT Rourkela only if you are unemployed after your BTech or you want to pursue your career academically. Joining this course on the pretext of getting better jobs will not be a wise decision.

What is the difference in life between AIIMS Delhi and other AIIMS?

PA
Puneet Aarya Posted On : June 4th, 2023
MBBS from All India Institute of Medical Sciences

The major differences between life at AIIMS Delhi and AIIMS Patna have been listed below

  • AIIMS Patna is located in the exterior of the city making it difficult to even grab a quick meal at a restaurant. Even the nearest market is at a distance of 3 km.
  • It’s a no-brainer that AIIMS Delhi has a larger and more diverse patient load than any other AIIMS and offers a variety of cases for students.
  • AIIMS Patna has a rigid hostel ambiance and strict rules have to be followed.
  • The annual fest of AIIMS Delhi is the largest college fest organized by a medical institute in India and provides a unique experience
  • AIIMS Patna has more campus space than AIIMS Delhi which is excessively crowded.

Overall, the main difference between AIMS Delhi and other AlIMS is that AIlMS Delhi is the original and largest campus, and the other AIlMS campuses are modeled after it.

What is the cut off percentage for B.Com F&A in Christ University?

SI
Savita Iyer Posted On : April 22nd, 2026

CGPA to percentage conversion varies by university—always use your institution's official formula.

Conversion methods:

  • Common Formula: Percentage = CGPA × 9.5 (widely used but not universal).
  • University-Specific: Some use CGPA × 10, CGPA × 9, or custom multipliers—verify officially.
  • Marksheet Reference: Recent marksheets often display both CGPA and percentage equivalents.
  • Official Certificate: For job applications or admissions, request university-issued conversion certificate.
  • Grade Point Scale: 10-point, 4-point, and 5-point scales use different conversion factors.

Check your university's examination section website for authorized conversion formulas. Avoid third-party converters—they may not match your university's method.

Which should I choose: BITS Hyderabad or NIT Trichy?

DS
Divya Saraf Posted On : July 26th, 2023
Lives in Hyderabad

This is one of the most debatable questions. Both NIT Trichy and BITS Hyderabad are well-known institutions that have their strengths and weaknesses.

Here are a few parameters on which one can compare the two-

  • Reputation: BITS Hyderabad was established in the year 2008, and NIT Trichy was established in 1964. NIT Trichy is ranked 9th in the NIRF Rankings 2023 for Engineering and is consistently listed among the top 10 Engineering institutions in India.
  • Peer groups: Both institutes are good and can not be compared because both institutions select candidates through different entrance exams.
  • Location: BITS Hyderabad is better in terms of location because Hyderabad is a better city than Tiruchirapalli.
  • Reservation: NIT Trichy does have reserved seats while BITS Hyderabad does not.
  • Cost of Study: NIT Trichy costs around 10 Lakhs, while BITS Hyderabad goes to around 22 Lakhs.
  • Infrastructure- Both the institutions have a good infrastructure but the BITS Hyderabad infrastructure is better.
  • Placements- The average package at both is at par but Apple visits BITS Hyderabad which is a point in its favor.

If the fee is a matter of concern, I would suggest you go with NIT Trichy. Also, for Mechanical Engineering, NIT Trichy is an ideal place. For a JEE aspirant, NIT Trichy is a dream come true. 

My personal preference is in this order-

  1. NIT Trichy
  2. NIT Surathkal
  3. NIT Warangal
  4. MNNIT Allahabad
  5. NIT Rourkela ~ BITS Hyderabad
  6. MNIT Jaipur

Both NIT Trichy and BITS Hyderabad are equally good institutions and you can choose either of the two after considering each of the above aspects.

If I was to rank the above colleges, then the order would have been

  1. BITS Goa(CSE)
  2. DTU(CSE) 
  3. BITS Hyderabad (CSE) 
  4. NIT Surathkal(CSE) 
  5. NIT Trichy(CSE)
  6. IIIT Allahabad (IT)
  7. NIT Surathkal(IT)
  8. DTU(IT) 

Now, I am sure you would want justification for the above ranking so here it is

  •  BITS Goa has the advantages of its Bits tag, excellent coding culture, has developed some great coders from the last 2-3 years, splendid location and amazing campus life.
  • DTU is one of the best colleges in India with a decent coding culture and has the advantage of being located in the capital. Additionally, it has the advantage of an extensive alumni pool, location in the national capital, and a good alumni base
  • BITS Hyderabad is almost similar to BITS Goa in all aspects as the placements conducted are centralized 
  • NIT Surathkal and Trichy are the oldest and best NITs of India offering great placements, especially for the CSE branch.
  • As far as the IT field is concerned, IIIT Allahabad is superior to all NITs except NIT Warangal, Surathkal, and Trichy.

Ultimately, the final decision is based on various parameters and personal preferences should be given due consideration.
