Is doing B.Com from IGNOU a good idea?

SJ
Sidhharth Jain Posted On : October 21st, 2022
MS from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

It's not a bad idea if you are thoughtful enough to do this course without being admitted to a regular university. 

If you rely entirely on the staff and have blind faith that they will assist you with all of your questions, you may have difficulty sorting it all out on your own. It's a university where you have to apply and do everything on your own. This is what distinguishes and challenges IGNOU.

If you decide to apply for B.Com at IGNOU, read the prospectus carefully and keep it with you. The prospectus will provide you with all of the information you require.

Is IIIT Lucknow a good option for doing an M.Tech or not?

VS
Vipul Singh Posted On : March 18th, 2021
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Lucknow (2020)

The M.Tech program in Computer Science (CS) at IIIT Lucknow is worth considering if you cannot get into other similar institutions such as IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Bangalore, IIIT Allahabad, NIT Warangal, NIT Trichy, and NIT Karnataka.

  • Though the M.Tech program started only in 2019, companies such as Google, Microsoft, Directi, LinkedIn, Codenation, etc. visit the campus for placements of B.Tech students. So if you are skilled enough, it does not really matter if you are a B.Tech or M.Tech student. The placement records of B.Tech graduates suggest that they are comparable to NIT Calicut, NIT Rourkela, and IIIT Allahabad graduates. 
  • In fact, looking at the NIRF data of colleges such as IIIT Allahabad, it is clear that M.Tech students are more in demand in the industry due to lack of quality students along with their added research experience in the field.
  • The curriculum of the course is also very well designed, offering specializations in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. These are the most demanding subjects in the industry currently and if you study well enough, securing a job should not be difficult.
  • As this is a new course, you will not get the alumni advantage, the first batch is yet to pass-out, you could still connect with your B.Tech alumni as well as alumni from IIIT Allahabad (both the colleges were on the same campus until very recently). 
  • Alternatively, you could also hang out with your B.Tech peers and learn from them as well, because they have a very well-laid-out course structure along with a very competitive culture in coding. 
  • You should also consider studying with the PhDs as the knowledge and in-depth research they conduct in areas such as Machine learning will eventually help you to get a competitive advantage.

So all in all, IIIT Lucknow is a very good option for doing an M.Tech which will sharpen your skills and prepare you for the journey ahead.

Is it worth to join an MBA at JBIMS at the age of 28 having lot of academic gaps and no any work experience?

MJ
Manish Jain Posted On : February 20th, 2023
Studied Finance at Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies

Joining JBIMS for MBA without any work experience may have a slight drawback. Whether the overall experience will be worth it or not, depends on the exact purpose with which you have started on this journey.

With all honesty, your lack of experience and academic gaps will have a negative impact on your placements. Getting higher packages will be almost impossible as companies might object to your flaw in the profile. I am not saying that MBA will be a bad choice, but it will benefit you academically and not financially. It will increase your knowledge and skills and add value to your CV thereby improving your initial situation. But as far as placements are concerned, you will be slightly at a disadvantage to others.

You will be eligible for the final placements only and not the lateral ones. Many companies may or may not put filters on age, work experience, and academics. It all depends on the particular company and your luck. With excellent communication skills and content building, you can make your way into the interview and much more. But you have to strive hard for a very long time as the race is a difficult one for you. If you can prepare well with no pressure or expectations, especially during the summer internship process, you should be fine.

Coming to the knowledge and skills that you will acquire during the MBA, it will certainly have a positive impact on you. You will be able to get rid of negativity and focus on acquiring maximum knowledge. 

Still, at the end of the day, I will advise you to get a job and get a level of experience to make your journey a bit easier.

What is the procedure for getting a grace mark in AKTU for a BTech, and where should we apply for it?

SG
Souvik Ghose Posted On : October 28th, 2021
B.Tech ECE from Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University

At AKTU, grace marks are applied to subjects automatically. The status of subjects in which you got grace marks will be PWC, in the result.

If you are entitled to grace marks and didn’t receive them then there are two solutions.

  • Write the exam again in COP. There will be no PWC status in your marksheet. 
  • If you don’t want to take the examination again and find it difficult to pass without grace marks then you can visit University of Lucknow and give an application for the same. Your result will be updated with grace marks.

The number of days required to update your result can vary depending on various factors.

How is Electrical and Electronics branch at DTU? What is the average placement?

TS
Tanya Sharma Posted On : July 5th, 2023
Studied at Delhi Technological university

The perfect description of the Electrical and Electronics branch at DTU is the Jack of all grades and Master of none. The branch covers everything including EC, EE, CS, IT, and SE yet you end up with nothing in your hands. The worst part is that teachers don’t give enough marks in this branch. Even hard workers get average grades.

The same is the case with recruiters. They consider EEE students the jack of all trades but master of none. All the companies prefer EE and EC, CS and IT but EEE students are rarely given preference. 

Although there is harmony among the batchmates of this branch, sometimes you might face challenges so keep all these things in mind before going for it.

Which is better: Engineering Physics at IIT Bombay or Electrical Engineering at IIT Roorkee?

SB
Sumit Bose Posted On : March 18th, 2023
IIT Bombay (2019)

It would be suggested to pursue Engineering Physics at IIT Bombay rather than Electrical Engineering at IIT Roorkee. 

When it comes to studying physics at IITB, there are some key differences between JEE physics and college-level physics. Here are some important points to keep in mind:

  • In JEE physics, you study formula derivations after brief explanations of concepts and practice a lot of problems in that topic. College-level physics courses are typically more rigorous in theoretical and mathematical content, and problems are solved to help you understand the concepts more deeply.
  • While EE does not have any pure physics courses after the first year, it focuses on making you an electrical engineer. Core courses include analog and digital electronics, signals and systems, network theory, electronic devices, microprocessors, power electronics, and some relevant math courses.
  • EP, on the other hand, has core courses like quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, statistics, relativity, classical mechanics, waves and optics, nuclear physics, etc. There are also important math courses up to your second year.
  • EP trains you in core physics concepts and prepares you for experimental physics and electronics, giving you many options for your career path. You can work in theoretical or experimental physics, electronics, statistics and stochastics, CS-related research, or pursue higher studies in physics.
  • When choosing between IITB and IIT Roorkee, consider factors like the quality of professors, campus culture, and location. IITB has excellent professors, a beautiful campus, and great cultural and sports scenes, and is close to TIFR, which provides opportunities for collaboration.
  • When it comes to placements, most EP students go for higher studies because they are passionate about physics. For EE, core and non-core jobs are similar to those for other courses in terms of job security and salary packages.

Finally, the "brand" of IITs, especially IIT Bombay, provides a sense of job security that can be reassuring for graduates.
