Can hostelers at Amity go outside campus anytime?
My senior from school who used to be a student of Amity University told me that attending 9 to 5 classes all week did get tiring for her. No matter how urgent your work is, you will not be allowed to leave the grounds of the college until and unless you acquire an out-pass. It has to be duly signed by the warden with a valid date. It would invite trouble if you try to outsmart the warden. The girl students are not allowed to leave the campus just like that for security reasons.
For the boys, it’s easier to leave the campus if they share a good rapport with their mentors. Availability of swipe-in and out cards allows the students the premises of the institute at any time but they have to be back by 7-8 PM.
You will have to let the warden talk to your parents if you wish to get a night-out pass. A night-out pass can only be obtained through a notice made a day prior. That includes regular day-outs as well. On working days, the timing for going out is strictly the university hours. The timing for going out of the campus on weekends and holidays is from 5 PM to 9 PM.
Which college is better, BIT Patna or NIT Patna?
There is no ‘better’ college as every college has its strengths and weaknesses. That being said, here are some core points of difference between BIT Patn and NIT Patna.
- BIT Patna is a private engineering college whereas NIT is a Government college.
- Being a private college, BT Patna has better infrastructure, hostels, and other facilities. NIT Patna on the other hand has a very tiny campus with limited facilities.
- NIT Patna students have free Wi-Fi access in the college block, whereas at BIT Patna students have access to a 24/7 wired network everywhere.
- BIT Patna functions under the umbrella of the leading institute BIT Mesra and therefore has a high development rate while NIT Patna does not.
- BIT Patna hostels have excellent sports facilities with many courts for outdoor games while NIT Patna only has a Lawn Tennis Court and a stadium with small ground.
- Placements-wise NIT Patna is way ahead. Its average package this year stood at INR 14 LPA while while Patna's average package stood at INR 5.9 LPA.
- BIT Patna charges exorbitantly high fees around 2.95 Lakhs per year while NIT Patna fees for the same BTech program is 1.66 Lakhs
- The campus life is better at BIT Patna owing to the cultural and technical fests held round the year.
Ultimately, the better institute for you is the one that aligns with your priorities.

What happens in a CMC Vellore interview?
I gave an interview for my MBBS admission at CMC Vellore back in 2015. The interview pattern at CMC has been mostly unchanged for a long time. The process lasts for 3 days.
Here is the complete breakdown of the entire MBBS interview process at CMC Vellore:
- The candidates are segregated into groups of 5 or 6.
- Boys and girls are arranged into different groups.
- Two G.O. (group observers) are assigned for each group.
- The process comprises individual tasks, group tasks, GD and PI rounds.
- The individual tasks judge how wisely the candidates can identify doable tasks, and if they can complete those tasks in a given period.
- The group tasks focus on how well the team members communicate and cooperate. An example of the assigned tasks is- “Build a classroom with the given materials”.
- During the GD, each team is given a particular topic of discussion. The group observers test how well the candidates can voice their opinions in front of others. My group received the topic-“Discuss the water shortage problem in our country and how to solve it.”
The final step is the PI. The G.O.s ask similar questions in different ways. It is important to answer with confidence and firmness. One of the most frequently asked questions is- “Why did you choose medicine?”
What are the hostel amenities provided to students at SVNIT Surat? Are room coolers available? P.S- I got admission in SVNIT Surat.
The following facilities are available for students at the SVNIT hostels-
- Basic Facilities- Every student is given a bed, a mattress, a bedsheet, a chair, a study table, a cupboard with door lock and a pillow with a cover.
The hostels have proper WiFi and LAN Connectivity. There are common washrooms with geysers in the hostels. Every hostel room has a fan, a light bulb and electricity ports. Unfortunately, there is no facility for coolers or air conditioners. Moreover, the installation of coolers inside hostel rooms is not permitted as well.
- Other Facilities- Other than the hostel mess, there are night canteens. There is a laundry service as well. There is a Volleyball court and a TT room within the boys’ hostel premise. The hostels have a reading room along with a library.
There is a TV room, and one can easily access newspapers and magazines. The premises have a parking for bicycles and a Computer room (CCF). The entire hostel area is covered with CCTV surveillance. Hair salons are available inside the hostel area.
These are the facilities available at the SVNIT hostels. Although there aren’t any cooler/ AC facilities, you’ll enjoy your stay at this institution.How are placements for civil engineers at NIT, Warangal compared to other branches like CSE?
Comparing a dormant branch like Civil with the most coveted branch CSE isn’t a very logical way of getting an idea of the placement scenario. Every student of the CSE branch ends up with a core job so its placement scenario is incomparable. Civil Engineering despite having a low demand has a decent number of core positions recruited.
Nowadays, the youth is not interested in joining PSUs mainly because of their low pay in comparison to software companies. Most civil engineering students are interested in core positions so the numbers in non-core aren't that great. Moreover, the number of students interested in MS, CAT, and GATE is growing every year affecting the placement statistics largely.
Here is a general comparison of placement statistics of both the branches

Which would be better college between Delhi Technological University (DTU) and IIIT Hyderabad (IIIT-H) on the following parameters 1) Teaching 2) Social Life 3) Placements
Let's consider the aforementioned parameters individually to draw a comparison between DTU and IIIT Hyderabad.
Teaching and Faculty: Without any second thoughts, I would say IIIT Hyderabad is way ahead of DTU in terms of faculty. It has a very highly experienced faculty pool that is involved in cutting-edge research work.
Social Life: DTU is well-known for its dynamic college life that will give you amazing memories, opportunities, and friends. Here, students are given time for both academics as well as extracurriculars to ensure a vibrant campus life and holistic development of the students. IIIT Hyderabad has a very rigid and monotonous campus life as it's filled with nerds.
Placements: Both the institutes have an equally good placement scenario despite the high difference in intake and number of branches. It's best to refer to official stats while comparing pavements and I have done that for you.

Top Recruiters |
Bloomberg, Code Nation, Deloitte, Facebook, Google, HSBC, Indeed |
Samsung, Instabase, Atlassian, Sprinklr, Amazon, Alphonso, Salesforce, Microsoft, Adobe, etc |
From the above table, it can be inferred that the placement scenario is equally good. Before you say that DTU has an average package that is lower than IIIT Hyderabad, consider the fact that it has multiple branches and a much higher intake than IIIT Hyderabad.
A parameter I would like to add on my own accord would be the ROI. Considering DTU’s low fees and equally good placements, it offers better ROI than IIIT Hyderabad
Ultimately, go for IIIT Hyderabad if you are a crazy computer lover and don’t mind a boring college life. But if you want a happening college life and want to explore various fields, DTU is the one for you!
How is CS taught at IIIT Hyderabad?
The delivery of the CS curriculum at IIIT Hyderabad is indeed a beautiful process because that’s what IIIT Hyderabad is known for. The curriculum is taught through extensive pedagogy in the form of classes, tutorials, lab sessions, assignments, and mid and end-sem exams.
- Classes: The classes are very dynamic covering very little concept in detail addressing the whys and whats. The classes are very helpful and most students who are attentive can score good grades easily.
- Labs: Here, the theoretical concepts are given a practical approach and their implementation is taught by the TAs. They help you constantly in rectifying errors and shortcomings in coding.
- Tutorials: Tutorials usually comprise advanced concepts and a bit of high-level problems. They challenge the cider in you and are very helpful in improving your caliber.
- Assignments: Another effective mode of learning is assignments that tend to evaluate your learning and knowledge. Usually, the level of assignments is higher than classes and tutorials to make things more challenging. Before the submission, these problems are discussed to ensure everyone completes the assignments before the deadline.
- Other courses: Other courses like Maths 1 and Math 2 are customized for CS such that students are taught math required for Data structures in Math 1 itself.
Overall, everything in IIIT Hyderabad is directly or indirectly related to CS!
\How is the personal interview in IIT Kanpur for M. Tech selections?
One of my friends had appeared for VLSI MTech personal interview at IIT Kanpur and shared his experience of the same.
He was interviewed by 2 professors and one of them asked the reason for his poor marks after the first year. My friends told him about his lack of interest in the field and no core companies making it to the company for placements. He had decided to prepare for GATE instead and managed to get AIR 197 in his final year.
Next, they asked him some technical questions related to the EDC portion. He was even asked to draw a logarithmic plot of current v/s voltage for a practical diode.
Next, he was asked questions from the analog portion, which he hadn’t prepared well. To his relief, they asked him only basic questions like he was asked to identify a configuration. He wasn’t able to answer a few questions related to analog and concluded that it’s very necessary to revise your concepts even after GATE.
How is PSIT Kanpur?
PSIT Kanpur is among the top private engineering institutes in Kanpur. It is especially good for CS. The teaching methodology used is mostly theory oriented. There is less scope for exploring practical hands-on learning.
Companies such as Capgemini, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, TCS, etc. visit PSIT placements. Students usually receive an average CTC of around INR 5-6 LPA.
PSIT has strict rules in place regarding attendance. Students are required to maintain at least 90% attendance.
