How do I update my basic GK for exams like the NID and CEED?
NID and CEED are national level entrance exams for design programmes, held by National Institute of Design and IIT Bombay respectively. The syllabus for both the exams is lengthy and comprehensive, the common one being the general knowledge portion.
Now, the general knowledge topic is vast and challenging so here are some tips for preparing for the topic:
- Try to read and stay up to date with regional and national news. Cover all the subtopics such as politics, technology, sports, cultural, environment and social issues. All the subtopics are pertinent and require extensive reading.
- Try to be observant and engaging with your surrounding. The best way to do so is to use your camera, you must capture things and objects that interest you.
- Read important editorials published in popular newspapers like The Hindu, The Times of India and Hindustan Times to know more about relevant social and political issues.
- Read basic general knowledge facts related to subjects like history, geography and science. Try to cover and explore the cultural and regional history of India. You should have a basic knowledge about the art, cultural and handicraft of each Indian state if you want to crack the exams.
General Knowledge is a vast subject and the best way to prepare is to read newspapers, editorials and solve questions related to general knowledge.

What should be the preference order for the following: NIT Surathkal EEE, NIT Warangal EEE, NIT Trichy EEE, MANIT Bhopal (hometown) EE, MNNIT Allahabad EE, NIT Calicut EE, and MNIT Jaipur EE?
For EE/EEE, out of NIT Surathkal, NITW, NIT Trichy, MANIT Bhopal, MNNIT Allahabad, NIT Calicut, and MNIT Jaipur, I would suggest three institutes in the following order of preference-
- NIT Surathkal
- NIT Trichy
- NIT Warangal
My best friend is studying EEE at NITK and he is quite happy with the department. The teachers in the department are a bit strict. But if you bring up a good project idea and stay attentive in their class, you’ll be in a good position. Also, scoring good grades can be a bit tough, but with hardwork and good preparation, you will surely ace your exams.
In terms of EEE placements, NITK, NIT Trichy, and NITW are all equally good options.
As a NITK student, you will get certain benefits. These are-
- NITK is the only institute in India to have a private beach.
- Among the three institutes that I have listed, NITK is the most suitable for people from other parts of India. Even though there is a 50% state quota, you will find plenty of North Indians and people from other parts of India. You will rarely face a language barrier because most people on campus understand English.
- You can showcase your technical skills at the IEEE technical club of NITK.
- Technites of ‘Engineer’, the techfest of NITK, does some brilliant work with electronics.
Thus, out of NIT Calicut, NITK, NITW, and all the other options listed by you, I would suggest you to choose NITK Surathkal for your EEE.
What are hostels like in IIIT Pune? How is life there? What sports can we play? Is there a WiFi?
The condition of hostels in IIIT Pune is quite good, compared to most top institutes in the country. There are several reviews about IIIT Pune hostels, Wi-Fi accessibility, and sports opportunities on campus, and some of them are listed below.
- The rooms of IIIT Pune hostels are on a 2-sharing basis. In the girl’s hostel, rooms are styled like apartments with attached bathrooms in each room.
- The main building in IIIT Pune has an in-built Wi-Fi facility available. Previously, there was no Wi-Fi in hostels, but now it is installed.
- The campus of IIIT Pune doesn’t provide the typical college life with a huge number of students and great city life. The overall batch of IIIT Pune is quite small, with everyone familiar with one another.

- Pune city is somewhat far from campus and so, transportation is a bit difficult for students, and self-transport arrangement is preferred.
- The campus of IIIT Pune is small and beautiful, with nice weather and a peaceful environment. There are hills surrounding the campus where hiking opportunities are available.
- As per as sports is concerned, cricket, volleyball, football, table tennis, badminton, and some indoor games are available, so the number of options for sports are limited.

Which one is better, MAIT CSE or DTU BT/ENE/EP/PCT?
When deciding between engineering branches, it is important to consider your future goals and current interests. Here are some points to help you make an informed decision:
- Consider your plans: If you plan to pursue an MS abroad after graduation, then CSE may be a better option as Indians are highly sought after in the IT industry abroad. However, if you plan to work in India, both branches are equally good.
- Think about your career path: If you are interested in non-technical roles like consulting and marketing, then either branch would suffice. However, if you are interested in hardcore engineering jobs, then both branches are equally good.
- Look at the exposure provided: DTU offers excellent exposure as the number of non-tech companies visiting DTU is more than the total number of companies visiting any IP college. However, both branches offer good exposure in their respective fields.
- Evaluate your interests: If you are inclined towards a particular branch, then it would be better to pursue that branch as it will help you maintain interest and focus on your studies.
In conclusion, both branches have their advantages, and the choice ultimately depends on your personal preferences and career goals. While DTU provides excellent exposure, CSE may be a better option if you plan to pursue an MS abroad.
