What made you drop BITS Pilani for IIT Ropar?
I don't think there are many who would consider dropping a highly-regarded institute like BITS Pilani for a new IIT like IIT Ropar. I know a friend who had a very low JEE rank and was on the verge of taking a drop when he decided to take BITSAT. The reason he suddenly changed his mind was a discussion with someone at BITS Pilani. He told him about the benefits of the institute which convinced my friend that he would be getting a great opportunity except for the IIT tag.
Luckily, he got 323 marks in BITSAT and two branches in the Pilani Campus - BE in ENI and M.Sc. in Economics. He went for Economics and miraculously scored 8.5 CG in the first year and eventually cleared the cut-off for a dual with CSE.
He finally got CSE, and that too at such a prestigious college. The experience humbles him and he does not regret getting a low JEE rank at all.
Are there any scholarships offered at BITS, Pilani based on any marks scored in the BITSAT exam?

How is CSE in NIT Delhi compared to CSE in PEC?
I will advise you not to compare colleges solely on the basis of rankings and placements because these are too trivial criteria to be considered while choosing your college. One must look at the bigger picture. NIT Delhi, despite being a new institute, has already laid its strong foundation and you can expect excellent placements in the near future.
Here are a few highlights of the institute:
- Placements: NIT Delhi has an active placement cell that ensures that every student has at least one offer by the end of the placement drive.
- Campus: The campus has limited facilities but provides enough facilities to ensure good quality education. Students have access to wifi facilities 24/7.
- Ranking: Don’t let the low rankings mislead you. These ranking bodies consider criteria like campus, branches, alumni, etc which NIT Delhi definitely lacks in because it's new.
Overall, NIT Delhi offers good quality education and a NIT tag that will up your game in higher education.
Is ptu govt or private?
Punjab Technical University or PTU was established by an Act of the State Legislature on 16th January 1997. The primary purpose was to promote technical, management, and pharmaceutical education in the state at degree level and above. Initially, it was established as Punjab Technical University and later renamed as I.K.Gujral Punjab Technical University by the State Government in honor of Late Sh. Inder Kumar Gujral, Former Prime Minister of India, in 2015.
The University has set up many centers of excellence for promoting training, research, and development in these areas. The university offers a number of courses in different streams regular as well as distance education courses.
So, PTU is a government-based University and not a private engineering college.
What is your review about NIT Trichy EEE branch?
B.Tech EEE is the most hectic course offered by NIT Trichy.
As a B.Tech EEE student, you’ll have classes and labs all day long. The faculty is experienced. Most of them are friendly and supportive, but you can only rely on self-study. You’ll have some of the brightest students as your peers. Try to befriend some of them as they will help you a lot in studies.
NIT Trichy is comparable to some of the old IITs, in terms of placements. Almost all the students of B.Tech EEE are successfully placed each year, and some of them even bag multiple offers. Those who don’t sit for placements, opt for higher studies in prestigious Indian and foreign universities.
NIT Trichy will offer you an awesome campus culture, and lifelong memories. Its EEE branch is hectic, but rewarding at the same time.
What are the approximate hostel charges for first year students at hostels near Nirma University?
I have a friend studying at Nirma University and he gave some information about the hostel accommodation near the institute. If you are planning to be in a hostel there are a few near the university.
Hiramani hostel:
- The hostel fees are around 50000 to 80000. It depends on which type of room and no of persons in a room.
- Almost everything is included in the fee. You get food but for that, you have to pay and the food is not up to mark. My friend stayed in the hostel and he used to take breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Nirma. NIM canteen provides good food options. It will cost 70rs. For lunch and dinner.
- So, if you live in Hiramani you will have to spend approximately 200 Rs daily on food, which sums up to 6000 per month.
Nirma Hostel:
- As per the schedule, you will be staying for 8-9 months in the hostel and the rest of the time at home. Food cost is around 54000. And total fees if you live in AC 2 sharing room is 65000+54000 = 119000.
- The rooms are great and there are fewer rules.
SGVP:
- At SGVP, you will have to follow many rules, like waking up at 5:00 am, which is tough for engineering students.
- Fees: 80000 ac per sem
- It includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner but there are no laundry facilities. The rooms are good. Food facilities are also decent.
There are many other options too, like Sandipini, but my friend claims Hiramani is best.
What are some good placement/internship stories of students from Thapar University?
I have a few friends from Thapar University and from them, I heard many stories regarding placements. Here is one of such stories.
One of their seniors faced some initial problems in the placement phase. He was the best in networking and web development in the entire college. He had such skills and knowledge regarding the course that he was considered better than even some of the faculties. He was the only student in the entire college to make it to (GSOC) Google Summer of Code. In spite of all this, he had a CGPA of 6 because he didn’t just study for scoring so he was very carefree with the subjects he was not interested in, which brought down his CGPA.
Initially, he was left out to even participate in many placement interviews, due to his CGPA. Almost 75 percent of the CSE batch was placed with some companies in some cases they also got multiple offers but he was left out.
In the next phase of placements, there was a company offering consulting roles. He was not shortlisted for the interview because of his CGPA. He was sleeping in his room when he got a call from the PR saying he has an interview in 15 minutes.
What happened was, the company officials called PR and told them they have a technical post and they were looking for the best candidate and his name was coined. He wowed the officials in his interview and got the job offer. But he didn’t take it since the job profile didn’t interest him.
Following that he got 3 more internship offers and 3 more placement offers because he was specially mentioned by that one company.
