What is your opinion about NICMAR today?

AS
Anamika Sinha Posted On : June 28th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Construction Management and Research (NICMAR)

NICMAR PUNE campus is the finest institution. Placements, extracurricular activities, and everything the individuals mentioned are excellent.

In my opinion, the best aspect is knowledge. With all due respect to the faculty members of other campuses, the NICMAR PUNE campus has some of the most accomplished professors. Some of them have been instructing NICMAR students since as early as 1995.

With it comes a wealth of experience and knowledge.

Additionally, the Pune campus of NICMAR publishes more research papers than all other campuses combined. Therefore, a tremendous quantity of importance is placed on Research in this institution.

What is your motivation for applying to IIT Gandhinagar?

AS
Anisha Srivastav Posted On : March 30th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar (IITGN)

I don’t know what or who convinced you to go for IIT Gandhinagar, but if it’s not too late please reconsider your decision. Here are some points that will help you understand my strong aversion to IIT Gandhinagar.

  • The hostel fees are extremely high around 27-30k/- semester. Additionally, they charge you more if you are staying in the hostel during vacations.
  • There are no laundry facilities available in the hostel
  • The rooms towards the interior are in pathetic condition 
  • The labs are very small and have substandard equipment
  • They force you to attend the orientation program. Those who don’t suffer a lot and are deprived of Scholarships and you will be asked to do it again the following year
  • The Management system is extremely poor and lethargic.

Irrespective of these points, the short video below might convince you to join IIT Gandhinagar

So, I will advise you to go for IIT Gandhinagar only if it’s the last option available.

How tough is XGMAT conducted by XIMB?

RA
Ritesh Agarwal Posted On : April 22nd, 2021
Studied at Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar

Preparing for CAT and XAT is easy enough, but the results are uncertain, and you can’t score very well. Many students have scored between 20-30% in both CAT and XAT in the late 90s.

However, the English section of these exams is quite easier than the other sections such as DI and Quants. These two are moderate to solve, while the emotional quotients part is quite easier. There are also some questions from GK; thereby, the student must have a proper grip over current affairs are GK.

Thus, questions in CAT and XAT exams are a complete mix-up and considering these two, XGMAT is easy enough to crack. But DI is comparatively tough in this exam.

Additionally, it is a new exam pattern; everyone is not much aware of this exam. XIMB conducts this exam to ensure that it is comparable with the XAT exam at least.

How are the hostels in IIIT-Delhi? How's the first years' hostel different from the rest, if there is? What differences exist between the single rooms and the twin-sharing rooms?

JS
Jai Sharma Posted On : October 4th, 2023
Studied at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (2020)

IIIT Delhi hostels are newly built, and well constructed. They are clean and have all the facilities. 

The hostels have all-weather ACs and good Wi-Fi connectivity. You’ll get 300 Mbps dual link, 802.11n routers, great bandwidth, and ethernet links. The washrooms are very clean.

There is no separate hostel for freshers. You’ll be sharing a common hostel with your seniors. Senior students are given preference for single rooms. For hostel allotment, students from other states are given first preference.

Boys’ hostel has double seater, while girls’ hostel has triple seater sharing rooms. Sharing rooms are slightly bigger than single seater rooms. But all rooms have the same furnishing. Each student gets a bed, a study table, one almirah, and a few drawers.

You need not worry about hostel facilities at IIIT Delhi as they are top notch.

How hard did you prepare for the AFMC Pune? What were your struggles? Did you get it?

AG
Akriti Gupta Posted On : September 22nd, 2023
lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

One of my friends recently got admission in AFMC Pune and surprisingly enough she claims that she never prepared for her college purposely. In fact, it was only after clearing the cutoff for screening that she decided to actually consider getting admission. The only trick that helped her was that she focused only on preparing for NEET initially and did not worry about the screening. The trust is, that the screening process is rather unpredictable and not much can be prepared in a short span of time. So it’s better to invest your efforts and energy in something that is completely in your control. Once you clear NEET, you can start preparing for screening also. 

Hope this helps you!

How do I prepare for non-tech companies coming for placements in NSIT?

KP
Kalyan Pande Posted On : August 23rd, 2023
Studied at NSUT

Here are some important tips that you can follow to get placed in a good non-tech company during the NSUT Delhi placements-

  1. Good companies start visiting the campus in the last week of July. So don’t procrastinate on making your resume. Every company seeks qualities in a resume. Like, Finance companies focus on your academics and any related course, while Consulting companies appreciate case studies/MUNs in your resume. Keep an updated resume. In case you are short on material, mention any prizes, competitions, or olympiads. Do mention some social work you did as that will add ‘stars’ to your resume. 
  2. The first round comprises MCQs to test your logical reasoning and quantitative aptitude. Companies like Axtria also test your verbal ability (grammar and critical reasoning specifically), and a bit of coding knowledge. Practice these questions from a CAT preparation book/ modules from a good MBA coaching institute. Choose a book according to your comfort- from basic to advanced. Practice a few sets of verbal and logical reasoning questions daily. You can learn coding basics from ‘Test your C skills’ and ‘Let us C’. Data Analytics companies like Axtria also ask a little about DBMS, SQL, and OOPS concepts. Study them from C++ by Sumita Arora class 12th or online.
  3. Consulting companies then focus on how you deal with cases and guess estimates. Read/Practice these from ‘Case in Point’, ‘Ace the Case’

and ‘Wharton guide’. For puzzles and brainteasers, read the book ‘Acing the Brainteaser Interview’. Indiabix is a good source for puzzles, quantitative and logical aptitude.

  1. Practice common HR interview questions.
  2. Research well about your target company, and listen carefully during the company’s presentation, and ask smart questions during the company’s

presentation or interview.

Try to remain calm and composed. You will get selected by a good company during the NSUT Delhi placements. But if things don’t go as planned, remember that everything gets better eventually.

What are the approximate food expenses in AIIMS Delhi per year?

VM
Vedant Mishra Posted On : June 4th, 2023
MBBS from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi

The average cost of a mess meal in AIIMS Delhi is around INR 40-50. For vegetarians and around INR 120 for non-vegetarians. Breakfast and snacks are less expensive than lunch and dinner. To name a few

  • Chole Bhatoore- 20 rupees 
  • Samosas- 5 rupees a piece
  • Momos- 35 rupees a plate(non-veg).

On average, you will spend 200 rupees a day on food. This includes extra snacks that you have in between meals like biscuits or cold drinks. The total comes to around 6000 rupees monthly and 72000 rupees yearly.

The total expenses standing at the end of the month including laundry, ironing, hanging out, and other miscellaneous expenses will stand around INR 8k-10k. I don't think these expenses can be considered high given the fact that the annual AIIMS MBBS Fees is INR 1,389.

How are grades given in IIT Kanpur? Is there any formula?

SN
Saugata Nayak Posted On : April 19th, 2023
Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (2020)

Earlier, IIT Kanpur followed the even grading system wherein students were given even grades only. It looked like this 

  • A=10
  • B=8
  • C=6
  • D=4

These grades provide no middle ground and you either ended up with excellent grades or very low grades in a specific course. 

However, thanks to the continuous rebellion, the implementation of a granular grading policy has been made. This will be implemented uniformly for all students, including existing students from the 2022-23-I Semester. 

Students who have courses belonging to both the old and new system of grades will find the following footnote in their manuscripts "Intermediate grades (B*, C* and D* have been introduced from semester 2022-23-I semester for all students."

The granular grading scheme is as follows:

Grade

Grade Points

A*

10

B+
