It may not be a good idea to attend IIIT Hyderabad's artificial intelligence and machine learning certification program. A friend of mine enrolled in this program. According to him, very few classes are taken by IIIT Hyderabad professors. 

The teaching methodology used is old school. If you ask a doubt, you will be given a rhetorical answer most of the time. 

There are teaching assistants who are responsible for taking daily tests and lab sessions. But most of them, don’t have much idea about the subject matter. You can get many good PGP courses online in the same fee range.

One of my cousins took this course and loved the course right away. She was satisfied with the course structure and the delivery of the concepts. Here is what she stated regarding the program 

  • The concerned faculty is very learned and approachable. The students can talk to them and clear all their doubts.
  • The peers in this particular program are from diverse backgrounds making it a more enriched experience. 
  • The students are evaluated on a frequent basis in the form of weekly tests, regular hackathons, and group and individual lab sessions. 
  • The lectures are extremely interactive and available in video form for future reference.
  • The program is quite rigorous and requires immense dedication as you will be devoting all your weekends for 3 months.

Overall, she was very satisfied with the program and recommends it to everyone willing to become an AIML Professional. However, she added that one needs to be good at coding and have a knack for Python before taking up the program.

What rank is required in JEE Advanced to get CSE in IIT Bombay?

PG
Pratik Gandhi Posted On : March 18th, 2023
B.Tech. CSE, IIT Bombay

To get CSE in IIT Bombay, you need a JEE Advanced rank of 60 if you belong to General Category. This rank keeps getting lower every year. If you are certain of studying CSE at IIT Bombay, then start studying without further hesitation. In case you are still not sure, I have a friend's experience that might help you make the decision. He was interested in Mechanical and was not sure about CSE. With a rank of 70, he went for Mechanical Engineering. 

Now there is a course at IIT Bombay that is compulsory for all freshers. The course comprises the fundamentals of Computer Science. Once he studied that, he became certain that he wanted to pursue CSE instead and requested a branch change. In fact, I know many who changed their branch after becoming aware of their passion and inclinations. So you don’t have to necessarily make a decision right now, and can always avail of the branch change option later on. But make sure to make an early decision. Also if your JEE rank is average then you can always change your branch later on. However, an important thing to keep in mind is that this branch change option is possible only if your first-year CGPA is up to the mark.

How do I convert SGPA to percentage under the new CBCS rules at DU?

HR
Harsh Ranjan Posted On : October 6th, 2022
Bachelors in Economics from University of Delhi (Graduated 2018)

There has been considerable confusion in Delhi University's grading system for a long time. The university proposed multiple adjustments before a proper method was finally implemented and made public. The SGPA calculator is used in the educational field to translate SGPA to percentage. The calculations are based on the student's overall performance on the corresponding semester exam in general courses. 

To convert SGPA into a percentage, the following steps are being followed by the students:

  • The SGPA for each semester should be determined first.

  • Adding the semester-by-semester averages once you get them.

  • Subtracting the number of semesters you have taught from the total of the SGPAs.

  • Finally, calculate your SGPA by multiplying it by 10, then take 7.5 out of the result. 

The CBCS System used at DU is Relative Grading rather than Absolute Grading.

Which one is better- IMT Nagpur or IMT Hyderabad keeping all the parameters like placement, faculty, e.t.c. in mind?

P
Paras Posted On : March 7th, 2023
Studied at University of Delhi (2020)

IMT is indeed a brand name but unfortunately, the brand's credibility is applicable only to IMT Ghaziabad. The other campuses carry very little brand worth and legacy of IMT. If there is an IMT that is slightly near to comparison then it is IMT Hyderabad. The other campuses are new and lack recognition. IMT Hyderabad campus is visited by some extremely reputed local companies thereby offering better placement opportunities.

The video below compares both IMT Nagpur and IMT Hyderabad in various aspects

Some institutes that give an edge to IMT Hyderabad in Hyderabad itself are 

  • ASB (Ashoka School of Business) Hyderabad,
  • NMIMS
  • SIBM
  • Hyderabad Business School

ASB offers dual specialization and good placement at only INR 6.9 Lacs. The ROI period is only around a year.

What is the differnce between IISc and IISER?

SG
Shree Gupta Posted On : May 10th, 2022
Ph.D. at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (2020)

IISc Bangalore is more than 110 years old and it is the first choice of most students for Science, Engineering, and Technology-related courses. Seven IISER were established recently with the goal of providing quality education in pure science. IISERs were established with the expectations that they would reach global standards in the field of basic sciences and offer intensive research like IISc. 

IISERs offer courses such as BS-MS, integrated Ph.D., and Ph.D. to students. Although IISERs were established recently, they have good faculties and research facilities. Getting admission at IISc is more challenging compared to IISERs.

Is an MCA from IGNOU good for my prospects?

AM
Addwait Mahajan Posted On : October 14th, 2022
Student at Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

IGNOU degree is accredited by the Indian government and is recognized as equivalent to a graduate degree in engineering in the United States. Students get their H1B visa stamped because it is considered a professional qualification, but they are sponsored by one of the top 5 Software MNCs in India, which is very important. A degree from IGNOU has enormous validity and recognition.

Sure, you may have difficulty breaking into the job market because most employers prefer "Regular" degrees from a reputable college or university. Nobody is lucky enough to get a job of their choice. The only difference is that distance learning requires you to fight more, both during your studies and in the job market. However, one should not overthink, hard work pays off.

Maintain your fundamentals, learn and master the latest technology, and prepare yourself to be versatile and competitive.

Your priority should be to find a job in your field of study, rather than a high-paying job. When you're in the field, your experience counts, and your degree usually takes a back seat.
