What is the Rajdhani College rank at DU?

ED
Ena Dey, Posted On : November 17th, 2021
studied at University of Delhi (2019)

There is no such ranking procedure for the DU colleges. Also if you are going to take admission in a particular college do not go by the rank as all of them provide more or less the same campus experience.

If you want to choose a college, analyze factors like academics, faculty, exposure, placements, location, infrastructure, facilities provided and other opportunities.

How do I reach IIT Hyderabad by train?

AS
Ayush Singh Posted On : February 12th, 2024
Studied at IIT Hyderabad

The previous answer mentions MMTS. MMTS are the local intercity trains. They run across Hyderabad and the neighboring suburban areas that connect Hyderabad, Secunderabad, Falaknuma, Lingampally, Medchal and Umdanagar. 

If you miss the special IITH bus and want a more affordable option than cab/auto, here is another option. You can reach Patancheru bus complex by auto. From there, you can take a bus to Medak. There isn’t a bus stop near the campus. But the college has a request bus stop allotted by TSRTC. You can ask the conductor to drop you off at the IIT Hyderabad main gate. From there, the college bus will take you inside the campus. The college buses arrive every 15 minutes at the main gate. 

The tall college buildings will be visible to you from the highway, suggesting that you are reaching near the campus.

How is SVNIT for chemical engineering?

AS
Amit Sharma Posted On : January 6th, 2024
Studied at NIT Surat

I am an alumnus of B.Tech Chemical at SVNIT. 

According to me, it all depends on your interest. This branch fills at the end, at least this was the scenario when I joined SVNIT. But it offers decent placement opportunities. 

Unlike other institutions, the major courses like Heat Transfer, Mass Transfer, Fluid Flow, etc. are all taken up by Professors and Associate Professors, and not Teaching Assistants. Teaching is up to the mark, given that you are interested in the subjects. 

Core companies like Reliance, Cairn, GNFC, BASF, Lupin, etc. visit the department and recruit most of the B.Techs at decent pay packages. Some students crack GATE and opt for higher studies in India, and some others go on to do research work in reputed universities in the USA. 

This is all the important information regarding Chemical Engineering at SVNIT.

What rank in GATE is required to get into IIIT Delhi for an MTech in CSE?

AM
Ashwin Mahajan Posted On : October 4th, 2023
studied at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (2020)

IIIT Delhi considers both your GATE rank and UG percentage for admissions into M.Tech. You can apply through two categories- GATE and Non GATE.

For shortlisting GATE candidates, GATE rank and UG percentage are considered. 2500 GATE rank and 75% UG score is enough to get shortlisted for M.Tech CSE. This is followed by an interview.

Non-GATE candidates are shortlisted based on their UG percentage. Around 75% is enough to be shortlisted for M.Tech CSE. Once shortlisted, you’ll have to give a written test followed by an interview. Non-GATE qualifiers don’t get a stipend during their M.Tech.

IIIT Delhi frequently changes its selection criteria. Earlier Codechef's long score was considered during selections, but not now. College toppers and ICPC participants have better selection chances than the others.

Is AIIMS Patna located on the outskirts of the city? Does it have malls and restaurants nearby and if not how much time would it take to reach main city and airport or station?

SG
Saikat Gupta Posted On : June 6th, 2023
MBBS from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna

Owing to its massive size (134 acres), AIIMS Patna was built a little away from the main city. However, there are connectivity issues and many facilities are available that keep it well-connected to the city. There are many recreational places too that one can explore apart from studying

  • A number of restaurants are built right outside AIIMS Patna such as Cafe’7, Second Wife Kitchen and Cafe, Champaran Meat House and Restaurant, etc.
  • Recently, a new Monginis Cake Shop outlet has also opened outside AIIMS Patna
  • At a distance of 5 km from the campus, a very good market and a new mall is there in Phulwari Sharif.
  • At a distance of 7.5 km, many malls and restaurants can be found in the area of Anisabad situated around 7.5 km from AIIMS Patna. 

Transport issues are rare as a shared auto-rickshaw ride costs 10 rupees to Phulwari Sharif and 20 rupees to Anisabad from AIIMS Patna. Additionally, you can book Ola cabs and Rapido bike taxis. The campus enjoys good connectivity to the city and airport. Also, it just takes around half an hour to reach Gandhi Maidan. Recently, the elevated highway has started functioning making things much easier.

Which one is better, SIBM Pune or the new IIMs like Raipur, Ranchi, Rohtak, Kashipur, Udaipur, and Trichy?

HN
Hardik Nagar Posted On : January 17th, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India (Graduated 2019)

All of the institutes you mentioned are on the same level. Ranchi and Trichy have a slight advantage. Furthermore, having an IIM brand never hurts. It all depends on personal preference; you may prefer SIBM Pune, which is also a very good institute, but some candidates leave MDI Gurgaon and NITIE for the newer IIMs. 

Furthermore, a degree from a government institute is far superior to a degree from a private institute. The smaller batch size of new IIMs also facilitates placements. Examine each institute's faculty details, placement details, batch size, infrastructure, and so on, and make an informed decision.

Should I choose BITS Pilani or Motilal Nehru NIT Allahabad for a CS degree?

DC
Debottam Chowdhury Posted On : April 29th, 2021
B.E Computer Science, BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus (2021)

Many have pointed out that the campuses of BIT Pilani (any location) are no doubt better than MNNIT Allahabad. However, this answer does not focus on this, which does not signify that it is not a good institute. It is the best institute, and both of these institutes are the best choice considering your future perspectives.

  • Studying in BITS Pilani is quite expensive, and you have to spend approximately 17-19 lakhs to complete a course of two years tenure. Thus, many people cannot afford this, and for the MNNIT, Allahabad is the right alternative.
  • Besides, you can also consider the location of your hometown. If you take admission to the nearby institute, you can go home many times between the semester gaps.
  • The main thing is that both of these are great colleges and you have to think about the fees as per your financial background, as MNNIT Allahabad is cheap while BITS Pilani runs on money.

Many people vote like Pilani campus > Goa campus > Hyderabad campus, considering some of the courses. So, if you want to study CSE, then honestly, it is Pilani= Goa= Hyderabad. But you must also think about the weather and hometown proximity.
