How do I get BTech admission in KIET Ghaziabad?
The eligibility criteria is the same for all the branches of BTech in KIET. You just need to pass 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as compulsory subjects and at least 45% of marks in aggregate. For SC/ST candidates, a 5% relaxation in marks will be applicable.
Additionally, you will also need a valid JEE-Main score. UPTAC registration and counselling for BTech admission will begin from July. 85% of the total seats will be filled via JEE-Main.
For direct admission, you can simply go to their website and fill up their online application form. You will be called for a written exam and an in-person interview when the candidate is shortlisted by the institute based on their PCM merit at the 10+2 level. After passing both the written exam and the interview, you will get the admission offer.
How is a PhD in IIT Mandi? Is it good or only a time pass like in most NITs?
A Ph.D. from IIT Mandi is certainly not a time pass. You need to put consistent efforts to keep up with the coursework. IIT Mandi follows a demanding curriculum. Ph.D. students need to maintain a CGPA of 7.5 out of 10. Students need to publish 2 reputed journal papers and various conference papers. They also need to deliver research seminars, It is anything but easy.
IIT Mandi has an excellent faculty base. Most faculty members are alumni of old IITs or universities abroad. So, they expect older IIT-level performance from Ph.D. students.
Which college is better for a bachelors in arts Fergusson College or the Symbiosis College of Arts Science and Commerce?
According to the reviews I read online, Fergusson College is considered a better college than Symbiosis College due to various reasons. The reasons why it is preferred by students are: -
- It is located in a very prime location in the heart of the city and near to the market.
- Near to Fergusson hills which provides a scenic beauty to the already beautiful campus.
- Fergusson College has been an epitome for rich heritage, culture of excellence.
- It has great buildings such as the main building N.M Wadia Amphitheater and also the Bai Jerbai Wadia Library
- It has separate buildings for the Science and Arts department which are well equipped with latest tech and gadgets.
- They have a variety of academic courses to offer.
- International links and good hostel facilities are also offered.
| Categories | BA at Fergusson College |
| Course Fee | INR 22,340 |
| Course Duration | 3 years |
| Average CTC | 6-7 LPA |
It comes under the top 10 colleges in terms of academic achievement. It has been delivering excellent academics and placement stats for over 125 years and has become an institution where excellence has never been compromised. The institute has been graded as ‘A’ by NAAC and has certified courses both from NAAC and AICTE.
If you have to join one: NMIMS MUMBAI or IIM ROHTAK, which one would you join and why?
Given the two chances, I will definitely join IIM Rohtak over NMIMS anytime. The reasons for my choice are
Campus: The newly made campus of IIM Rohtak stretches over 150 acres and is loaded with top-notch facilities. Although some might consider its location at a disadvantage to NMIMS, in reality, it is just an hour's drive away from Delhi.
Placements: IIM Rohtak has an upper hand in placement opportunities as well.

Pedagogy: You can never compare the pedagogy of an IIM with any other B School. It’s very rigorous and the curriculum does not focus on academics, but also on exposure. This exposure is brought by events like TEDx and Marathon where students learn how to manage. Guest faculties from other IIMs, institutes like MDI, and senior management from top firms visit the campus for industry exposure.
Fees: IIM Rohtak- ?9.9 Lakhs (1st Year Fees)NMIMS- ?11.95 Lakhs (1st Year Fees). Despite being an IIM, Rohtaks fees are lesser than NMIMS.
Peer Learning: The peers are some of the most talented people you will ever come across. They have gotten into IIM with a percentile of more than 99.5. Moreover, there is a healthy blend of freshers and experienced students to promote effective peer learning. Most activities are conducted group-wise and each group comprises students from different backgrounds.
I hope these reasons might have cleared all the remaining doubts you had.

Which is better, NIT Surathkal or NIT Calicut?
NIT Surathkal and NIT Calicut both are considered among the top NITs. According to the overall NIRF Ranking NIT Surathkal has been better than NIT Calicut. Having some friends studying in both these institutes, I can say that It totally depends on the aspect you are looking for.
- Both of them are NIT and hence the degree value will be the same.
- NIT Calicut has the better CSE department out of the two.
- If you look at placement records, almost 95% of the students from NIT Calicut get placed with the best companies.
- While almost 85% of students get placed in NIT Surathkal.
- If looking at the academic and placement criteria then NIT Calicut is better than NIT Surathkal.
- The faculties are almost the same in both the institutes.

What is the highest package offered to a civil engineering student from NIT TRICHY?
I am assuming that you are asking about core civil job profiles. According to my friend at NIT Trichy the placement record for the Civil Engineering branch is quite good. Here is the placement trend for the branch.
| Year | Civil Engineering |
| 2019-20 | 81.7% |
| 2018-19 | 92.1% |
| 2017-18 | 83.6% |
According to the placement highlights of the past few years for Civil Engineering the highest CTC offered by the recruiting companies is around 17 LPA. During the placement drive 2020, the average package offered was INR 6 LPA.
More job offers are made to the civil engineers from companies such as Oil and other related companies. The salary package offered by a few conglomerates like L&T varies from INR 6.2 LPA for IITians, INR 5.11 LPA for NITians, to INR 3.6 for Local/Private Colleges. This is the general trend. It varies depending on the academic year.
Which is better, IHM Mumbai or IHM Pusa?
Both IHM Mumbai and IHM Pusa are reputed institutes for hotel management. The comparison between these two institutes seems to have no end. No matter which institute you join, you will learn to love it. Both offer decent academics. India Today ranked IHM Pusa and IHM Mumbai 1st and 3rd for Hotel Management respectively.
When you are choosing one of these two make sure you consider the factors like hostel, city, food, distance from your home. Talk to the current students and go for the culture that attracts you more.
What is better: EEE at BITS Hyderabad or CS at VIT Vellore?
As a former EEE student at BITS Goa, I would not recommend taking up EEE at BITS Hyderabad if you want a career in the field of software engineering.
Here are the reasons why-
- The coding involved in EEE is not enough. You’ll code in MATLAB, which is rarely used in the IT sector. You’ll have to devote extra time to learning Python, Java, and other languages.
- CS involves much more than coding, all of which you’ll miss out on.
- Elective courses like OS, DSA, Comp Arch have very limited seats, and not everyone gets to pick them. Also, you’ll get these courses by your third or fourth year. By then you’ll either be under too much pressure to complete your main syllabus or it’ll be too late because the placement season will have begun.
- Top IT companies don’t open for non CS candidates, and even for the companies that do, you’ll have to compete with CS students.
- BITS will give you all the necessary exposure, quality education and opportunities. However, as a non IT student you’ll still find difficulty in getting an IT job via campus placements.
Based on all these points, I would recommend choosing CSE at VIT for better job prospects in the IT sector.
