How do you score 80% plus marks in NSIT/DTU (formerly DCE) ? WHAT is the secret behind the diligent life long toppers?

TA

Lives in New Delhi

One of my friends faced a lot of issues in the initial years at NSUT. His aggregate for the first 2 years was 50%. He then decided to work hard and made a new strategy. By the end of 4 years, his aggregate increased to 80%. Currently, he is pursuing MS in computer science at the University of Maryland, College Park, USA. Initially, he was distracted by the freedom of college life and the dilemma of choosing MS vs MBA. 

Firstly, you need to focus on your studies and target a high score. Stop paying heed to people who say college life is all about fun. College is about realizing a dream and setting plans to achieve them. So, give up on distractions and start working hard to get good grades. He realized that scoring 80+ in college is possible for everyone but because of the ongoing activities and distractions, it becomes almost impossible.

In simple words, all you need is to find the passion within you that will drive you to perform at your level best. Find a good company that motivates you instead of mocking you.

Lives in Pondicherry, Puducherry, India

Here are some things you should know about JIPMER PG exam and related prep-

  1. Solve previous year question papers; they do play an important role.
  2. JIPMER paper has a good number of questions from previous AIIMS/NEET PG papers.
  3. The paper has a bit more concept oriented and problem-solving type questions than the NEET-PG paper, similar to the AIIMS exam. It will test how deeply you know the concepts.
  4. It is a computer based exam, so you’ll get a lot of image based questions.
  5. The JIPMER PG exam is quite difficult, so prepare well.

I hope this information will help you prepare well for the entrance.

What are the pros and cons of IIT Kharagpur?

NG
Nikhil Goal Posted On : March 23rd, 2023
Mechanical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IIT KGP)

IIT Kharagpur is considered one of the premier engineering colleges of India and many engineering aspirants dream of joining this institute. Like every coin has two sides, this institute has a number of pros and cons that one must consider before making the final decision.

Pros

  • As an IITian at KGP, you will be privileged to attend the oldest and the largest IIT in the country which is spread across more than 2100 acres. It has the highest number of departments and intake of students.
  • IIT KGP is well-known for its excellent academic environment that is promoted by extremely learned professors who are experts in their own fields of research.
  • IIT Kharagpur has an extensive research-oriented approach that enables the students enthusiastic about research to pursue their passion here. They get to work under highly skilled professors or seniors in the form of mentors.
  • IIT Kharagpur also gives importance to international exposure in the form of foreign internships, PPOs, and job offers.
  • The placement scenario at IIT Kharagpur has been improving over the past few years and more students get domestic and international offers from MNCs, IT companies or companies, and Non-core companies. The average package of all the departments combined is around INR 15 to 18 LPA.
  • Students are guided and offered a number of opportunities by the career development Centre, CDC of IIT Kharagpur.
  • IIT Kharagpur also promotes extracurricular activities that are usually supervised by technology students, Gymkhana. These activities cover a wide area ranging from robotics club to social development club, music club to finance club, and everything one can look for.
  • Large number of opportunities are provided in sports, ranging from cricket, football, basketball, badminton, squash, tennis table, tennis athletics et cetera. Some sports facilities include sports fields and an Olympic size swimming pool.

Cons:

  • The only flaw that makes people hesitate to choose IITKGP is probably its rural and remote location with a lack of transport and other facilities. This also limits the opportunities for students to a considerable extent.
  • The girls-to-boys ratio is around 10:1 which is quite low for a coed college.
  • There are extreme monsoon conditions that might be a problem for many.

I am sure the cons are not strong enough to overshadow the pros and one should definitely consider joining this institute.

Does the IGNOU send a transcript to WES?

ST
Santosh Tiwari Posted On : November 2nd, 2022
BCA Computer Programming, Indira Gandhi National Open university (2022)

One of my brother's friends was applying for immigration and faced issues getting a transcript from IGNOU. Many services offered online charged more than INR 10000, which was too much. Finally, he came across a service NV DOCUMENTATION, DWARKA. He contacted them regarding the details. They informed him about the changes in WES policy as to which university needs to send the transcript directly. The price they offered was worth the risk and much less as compared to other services. He submitted the required documents to them and sure enough his transcripts were delivered to WES within the time frame. 

It is recommended you use this service if you want your transcript to be shipped to WES.

Is it a big deal to study in NSIT?

HP
Himanshu Pathak Posted On : August 21st, 2023
lives in Chandigarh, India

No , honestly, after going through so much hard work and finally getting admission into NSUT, my brother realized that it wasn’t a big deal at all. 

  • Except for the IT and Mechanical departments, the classrooms are ordinary with no modern facilities.
  • Hostels have no wifi connection The funds are misused. Instead of organizing fests and funding societies every year a path of greenery is added.
  • The teachers focus more on the attendance of students rather than delivering concepts excellently. 
  • The college is surviving solely because of its affiliation with DU.
  • The research culture is inactive and only a few teachers and researchers are genuinely focused.
  • Apart from COE and IT, all other branches have heavy workloads with poor placements and internships. 
  • The institute does not offer any modern courses like machine learning, artificial intelligence, image processing, computer vision, data science etc 

In all, you will be very disappointed when you end up in an institute like NSUT after going through sleepless nights to clear JEE. So don’t believe the rumors and fall for the fake brand image NSUT has built to attract students.

Do graduates from IIMs and JBIMS get the same salary in MBB?

HN
Hardik Nagar Posted On : February 28th, 2023
CSE IITK'15, IIMA Batch of 2015-17

It is important to understand that MBB, a Management consulting firm operates on a level playing field when it comes to career development and opportunities. Regardless of one's background, the only determining factor for success at MBB is one's performance within the firm. The company values hard work, dedication, and results above all else, which is why your alma mater will not have any impact on your salary, career trajectory, or the type of work you are assigned.

This emphasis on the performance of graduates from IIMs and JBIMS over external factors is a unique aspect of MBB and demonstrates the company's commitment to providing equal opportunities for all its employees. The company recognizes and rewards those who have the skills, drive, and determination to excel in their roles, regardless of where they come from.

In conclusion, it is essential to understand that your alma mater, whether it is IIM or JBIMS, holds no weight in determining your salary in MBB. The focus is solely on individual performance, and the company is committed to providing equal opportunities for all its employees.

Which college has a better brand and great reputation in India as well as abroad: NIT, Delhi University, BITS Pilani or IIIT?

J
Jyothir Posted On : May 14th, 2024
BITS Pilani

All the colleges and universities that you have mentioned are premier colleges of India known for their quality education. When choosing which is a better brand and reputation, I would go with BITS Pilani. While IIIT and Delhi University are decent options, BITS Pilani is way ahead of them. 

  • BITS Pilani is known for its academic standards and industry-relevant curriculum and has a reputation in India as well as abroad. 
  • Its strong alumni network placed in abroad has massively contributed to its name in other countries. 
  • It has consistently ranked among the top institutes in India bolstering its brand value. 
  • Its collaborations with leading companies and research institutes provide students with multiple internship and placement opportunities, which further enhance its credibility.

What is the reputation of IIIT Hyderabad in the Silicon Valley?

AJ
Adinath Jain Posted On : July 28th, 2023
Studied at IIIT Hyderabad

Honestly, IIIT Hyderabad does not receive the hype it deserves and does not highly regard in Silicon Valley either. No donut, it has many big recruiters but given its top-notch faculty and education, it should have a much better reputation than it has today. I personally feel that this stems from a few flaws of the institute. For instance,  it lacks a lot of the essential Math, EE, Design, and even several Business, Finance, and Management courses which are prominent in IITs and BITS. IIIT Hyderabad curriculum revolves around programming only and getting a lucrative package at Google MTV or Microsoft Redmond or Facebook seems to be the ultimate goal of the CS students here. People fail to realize that no matter how huge the package offered is, they are just routine Software Engineering jobs at the end of the day. Many IIT graduates give up on such offers just to pursue entrepreneurship or research.

Comparing IIIT Hyderabad with any old IIT says IIT Guwahati, you will see that although the latter has lower placement statistics, its graduates have diverse prospects like MS/PhDs from top US Universities,  MBAs from Harvard-Stanford-Wharton, unlike IIIT Hyderabad students who end up with the most monotonous jobs as Software Engineers.

In a nutshell, the reason IIIT Hyderabad has failed to gain a good reputation in silicon valley is the lack of diversity and flexibility in its curriculum and has nothing to do with the quality of its education or job opportunities.

No. You cannot do that. There is a proper procedure that everyone needs to follow regarding the submission of assignments at IGNOU.

Step 1: Submit all your assignments at your study center. Also, make photocopies of your assignments before submitting them. These photocopies along with the signatures will be proof of your submission of assignments. 

Step 2: After submitting all your assignments fill your exam form. Get the signature of your study center coordinator at the back of the form. 

Step 3: When you are done submitting, go to your regional center m. Here you are required to submit your TEE form ( Term End Examination). Fill out the receipt they give and submit it along with the demand draft and TEE form.

What is the student exchange program at IIM Ahmedabad?

AM
Apala Mishra Posted On : November 29th, 2022
Author

Exchange Programs come under Inter-University collaboration. It allows students to study at a foreign university for a certain duration of time. Casual attachment to a foreign university for a period not exceeding one semester is more common, and your academic score at the host university does not count toward your MBA assessment.

Dual Degree programs are those in which your work abroad counts toward your academic ranking at IIM(A) and may also qualify you for another degree from the host university. Despite the fact that it is somewhat uncommon.
