Is IIT Kharagpur better than IIT Kanpur?
Almost all IITs are excellent engineering colleges providing the best education and amenities. Yet there might be some comparisons that can be drawn based on common aspects like choice, infrastructure, and geographical location. Eventually, it’s a matter of your preferences and not the institute's worth.
For example, if you are someone who considers Academics the most important factor to determine the credibility of an institute, then IIT Kanpur is the best choice for you. It has the toughest grading system and the entire focus is on studies. So if you are excellent in academics, you will remain at the top here.
Both institutes face a certain level of locational disadvantage but IIT Kanpur is still slightly better in this aspect.

What are some of the worst Delhi University colleges?
Delhi University is the most sought-after institute by students of graduation and postgraduation. Even though clearing cutoffs and securing a seat at DU is extremely challenging, certain colleges at Delhi University have failed to secure a favorable student opinion, either due to poor infrastructure, negligent faculty/ administration, or simply because of the poor neighborhood.
Some of these colleges, as suggested by a few friends of mine, are-
- Ramanujan College, Kalkaji: Poor infrastructure in terms of classrooms and especially, the canteen area
- Shaheed Rajguru College of Applied Sciences for Women
- Acharya Narendra Dev College, Kalkaji: Poor infrastructure, poor canteen facilities, poor washroom facility. Not a pleasant neighborhood. Lab facilities are below par and equipments are very old. However, the teachers are very supportive. The admin section is not very helpful and supportive towards the students
- Satyawati College
- Some other colleges include- Shyam Lal College, Shri Aurobindo College, Deshbandhu College, PGDAV, Zakir Husain Delhi College, JDMC, Bharti College, Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar College, and Aryabhatta College
This list is subjective and some of the people have even been graduated 5 or 6 years ago. Colleges at DU undergo constant improvements in terms of administration, infrastructure, academics, and so on. It depends also upon individual taste as to which college one finds good or bad.

What is the concept of dual degree in BITS? Is it better than single B.E(Hons) degree?
BITS Pilani BE courses have a duration of 4 years while the dual degree courses have a duration of 5 years. A few dual courses offered at BITS Pilani include Msc. (Hons) Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Mathematics, and Physics.
- The courses taught in the first year are the same in both BE and dual degrees. Based on your CGPA of the first year and your preferences, all the dualities will be allotted their respective BE degrees.
- From the second year, BE students start studying their own separate courses while Msc students start studying their compulsory courses for their Msc degree.
- In the third year dual degree students start studying BE degree with their juniors along with their Msc.
- In the fourth year, they only study the compulsory courses of BE.
- In the fifth year dual degree students will either complete their thesis or PS or both. Students are required to complete their electives by the end of graduation apart from their compulsory subjects
Basically, dual degree students pursue BE with their juniors.
Here are a few pros and cons of the institute to help you understand the credibility of this degree.
Pros
- It's a good option if you failed to get a branch of your choice in BE. Work hard in the first year and get a good CGPA to opt for your desired branch.
- An MSc is beneficial in fetching good placement offers. A very popular combination among recruiters is Msc Economics + CS.
- You get to enjoy college life for an extra year and create more memories.
Cons
- An extra year means you will have to invest more money and time.
- The third and fourth years will be very hectic given that you will have to do compulsory courses alongside completing electives too.
- It will be very difficult to sit for placements if you opt for double semester PS in your final year.
In all, I think the dual degree program is a great choice for those who did not get their desired branch in BE.
How are the interview questions for IIIT Hyderabad for the UGEE? How should I prepare for them? And what are the chances of clearing the interview? Here’s how my UGEE interview process went.
My friend had the opportunity to appear for the Dual Degree Programs interview. She shared her entire experience with me. Once the document verification was done, the candidates were divided into seven groups. 20 minutes before the interview, she was given a sheet with 3 questions one each from Physics, Linguistics, and Mathematics.
- (a) Since Newton’s First Law of Motion can be derived from the second law of Motion, what do you think is the relevance of the first law? Did Newton give us three laws when two would have been adequate?
(b) A similar Mechanics question which I don’t remember.
- A Linguistics Question of Medium Difficulty
- You are given an equilateral triangle of side length ‘a. Disprove or Prove: Among any five points inside the triangle, there always exists a pair at a distance not greater than a/2.
The candidates were not asked to write the answers but just ponder on the questions for 20 minutes. Soon she was ushered into the interview room where she was welcomed by several warm panelists that asked questions like
- Why IIIT and Why Research?
- Tell us about your family and school education.
- Do you like linguistics?, to which she said that she loved Tamil. He asked further, Do you find the present web applications in Tamil efficient?
- Which field in Computer Science do you like the most?
- Do you have any experience working with Cryptography?
- Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Out of the 3 questions handed in earlier, she was able to solve the Lingo question and even managed to write some satisfactory reasons for the Physics questions but failed to solve the Mathematics question. They further asked questions related to Friction, Work, and Energy. They did not ask the linguistic one and moved on to the mathematical question. They asked her to solve it with their help.
She told them about her extracurricular achievements and they seemed to be impressed. One of the professors ended the interview by saying that if she got selected, she should come with her extracurricular file then. The entire interview lasted for 50 minutes and she considers it to be one of the most memorable interviews.
If I don't pass all the papers in my IGNOU exam in 1st year, can I still go to the second year? How do I clear the papers which I didn't pass?
If you are studying at Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) and you failed to pass all the papers in your first year, don't worry, you can still progress to the second year of your course. Here's what you need to know:
- You can register for the second year of your course even if you have back papers from your first year. IGNOU allows you to register for the next academic year as long as you have cleared the minimum number of credits required to advance to the next year.
- You can also attempt to complete your first year while simultaneously studying in the second year. For example, if your second-year Term End Examination (TEE) is scheduled for the December cycle, you can attempt your first-year back papers in the June cycle or vice versa.
- If you have already submitted assignments for the back papers in your first year, you do not need to resubmit them. However, you will need to ensure that you meet the assignment submission requirements for the second year.
- It's important to note that you will need to complete all your back papers within the stipulated time period subject to the course. IGNOU has a maximum time limit within which you need to complete your course requirements. You should refer to the university guidelines or contact the academic counselor for more information.

Is there any value of doing MBL (Masters of Business law) from NLSIU, Bangalore?
If you are looking at the course from the perspective of its acceptability in the industry, then honestly it does not rank very high in the list. It can not be even fully considered a proper Masters in Law degree. One of my friends studied it and here’s what she has to say about it.
- Masters in Business Law (MBL) is not a full-time LLM course. You cannot take UGC-NET on the basis of this degree.
- It is quite an expensive course. Not only the course fees but they take additional fees like Rs. 500 for each subject. They have a continuation fee of Rs. 2500.
- The books suggested are also not elaborate enough to learn about the course. They lack content.
- There is no transparency in checking answer sheets. If you want your answer sheets rechecked, it will cost you Rs.800 for each paper.
Therefore it is recommended that you do not opt for this course, as it is not an LLM course. The only thing credible about it is the tag you receive from NLSIU.
