How is the life at NIET?

AM
Ayush Mehta Posted On : June 18th, 2021
Studied B.Tech in Computer Science at NIET (2020)

My friend from school used to be a student of NIET and he has said there are two cases of life in NIET: the hostler and day scholars.

  • For the hostelers, before starting life at NIET, it should be known that there are two campuses, the main campus which is for the second, third, and fourth-year students, and the campus for the students of the first year.
  • If you are a hosteler, then life as a student will be nothing short of a mess. There are two hostels: the flat hostel which accommodates 1-2 students and the Om Hostel which has accommodation for 3-4 students.
  • The mess in the hostel gives food which leaves a lot to be desired. Initially, the food provided is good but as time goes, the quality of the food deteriorates. And the quality does not improve, unfortunately.
  • Day scholars have it easy in the institute but if the students live far off then the to and fro journey can get burdensome.

However, looking on the bright side, the faculty is supportive provided you are willing to put in the effort. The institute has a good library and despite the fact that the classes not having ACs, the labs do.

How is production engineering at nit calicut?

SS
Shaurya Singh Posted On : March 25th, 2021
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2018)

You must know what you are getting yourself into. The mechanical engineering department of NITC offers 2 BTech courses that are Mechanical and Production. Both of these departments share faculties, labs, some courses, and other facilities. But at the end of the day, both are different courses.

There are two types of people seen in Production Engineering at NITC:

  1. Students who wanted to study mechanical, but didn’t have the rank for it or could only get mechanical at other NITs. Production is after all similar to mechanical.
  2. Students who didn’t have an appropriate rank to choose a branch/college of their choice, but still wanted to study in an NIT.

There are few things that students commonly felt during their days:

  • Students are often seen saying that they should get mechanical equivalent certificates. There is no purpose in saying this as they are two different branches.
  • Students also complain that teachers are biased. Few teachers refrain from teaching students from production batches. Mechanical batches are taught mostly by permanent faculty while production batches get guest faculties.
  • There are very few placement opportunities for Production batches in comparison with Mechanical. Core companies are even fewer.
  • The students of Production are often isolated from other batches of students. They are allotted spare rooms.

Categories

Production Engineering at NIT Calicut

Course Fee

5.42 lakh

Placement Percentage

70-80%

Highest CTC

8 LPA

Average CTC

6 LPA

Recruiting Companies

Tata, Bajaj, HPCL, BPCL, TCS, Texas Instruments, etc.

The placement options are not as rare as students may make out, but it may not be in the field that they are looking for.

So in the end one can say that, if the student truly wants to be a mechanical engineer, then this college probably isn’t for you. If they just want the NIT experience, then they should know what options they will have after college.

Should I opt for an M. Sc. Math course in BITS Pilani?

TS
Trina Saha Posted On : July 22nd, 2021
Studied at Delhi University (2019)

You are perhaps going for one of the most difficult streams of M.Sc, which is, of course, Maths. Few of my friends are studying there and as they have mentioned, by the time you reach your third year, one of the subjects in Maths would have a good number of theorems.

The next thing you would have is coordinate geometry as a part of your Maths 1. This would come in handy while solving double/triple integrations.

However, this is still the base of things. It gets complicated ahead- although, not sure if that would be in the third year essentially. Perhaps for better clarity, you should try and reach out to someone who is actually doing his/her M.Sc from BITS Pilani

  • Now, when it comes to application and coding Mathematics, the wisest combination to opt for is M.Sc Maths along with CS.
  • By the time you become a pro at coding, these math concepts wherein you studied geometry might come in handy for the applications that you would use.
  • Try and sustain a CGPA of 8+, if you are genuinely serious about carrying along with CS as a second subject option.

My friends mentioned that students who are carrying along two degrees at the same time have CS as their ultimate aim. There were a few friends of mine who with a double degree, either ended up slogging into semesters, achieved CS with hardly any effort, and eventually, some of them had to choose chemical/civil out of sheer compulsion.

Should I take up IIFT Kolkata if I am selected or should I give another shot next year?

SS
Sayantika Sen Posted On : June 23rd, 2021
Studied at Jadavpur University (2018)

In the previous year during the time of admission, the selections were really unpredictable. Students with high-end percentile were kept on the waitlist and some students with low percentile were selected immediately.

  • Students with 99.90 %tile with 58 marks were wait-listed but then girls with 50 marks were selected in IIFT-D in the first merit list.
  • In the past years, the selections were really unpredictable. Even with a good score in exams and working experience chances are that you will not be selected.
  • After talking to seniors or some experts in this profession you will get a detailed opinion of what to do.
  • People who have done their MBA recommend that it is wise to select IIFT Kolkata rather than waiting for another year.
  • IIFT Kolkata is also a very reputed institute

Even if you take a year gap you’ll most probably stay on the same level as before. If you get into IIM-A, IIM-B you will pass on later and get a job based on no working experience. If you select IIFT Kolkata in the present year you might get a better chance than in IIM as a fresher in the year after. The only advantage you will have is the name and fame of IIM.

Which is better, SIBM Bangalore or FORE?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : July 5th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

My friend is an alumnus of FORE. According to him, FORE is a better choice in comparison to SIBM Bangalore. For this, he cites these reasons-

  1. FORE ranks higher in terms of industry recognition. This is the reason for a higher number of recruiters visiting the campus during placement months.
  1. Location-wise, Delhi is better from a multi-industry perspective as compared to Bangalore. Bangalore has more IT-related opportunities, but Delhi is home to a large variety of industries. This allows the student access to a larger spectrum of recruitments.
  2. FORE is an older brand. FORE has a longer background and stands higher in terms of prestige.
  3. FORE has a qualified faculty.

On the other hand, we can also say that SIBM Bangalore has the advantage of a reputation created by the older SIBM Pune. SIBM Bangalore has done well in recent years. Many HR recruiters have faith in the Symbiosis brand.

Overall, both SIBM Bangalore and FORE are good institutions. However, FORE is a better option.

What are the questions asked in an interview for an integrated PhD (maths) at IISc Bangalore?

MS
Monika Saha Posted On : July 18th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore

One of my friends appeared for the integrated Ph.D. Math at IISc Bangalore and shared her experience of the same. A total of 72 students had been shortlisted for the interview and her interview took place on the last day. As she entered the room, they asked for her introduction and her interest to which she told them it was analysis. She was asked the following questions

  • Construct a differential function satisfying the following conditions, f(1)=f(-1)=o; f(0)=1, and f(x) is zero everywhere except (-1, 1)
  • Group theory question wherein they gave her an order of the group and asked to check the elements of some order

The entire interview was based on the above questions which my friend was not able to answer most of the time and thus did not get selected. However, she learned a lot from that interview and summed the entire experience in these points

  • She learned a new problem-solving approach that requires breaking the problem into small cases.
  • The panelists here are very friendly and you can even postpone your interview till the last day if you are not comfortable.
  • The questions asked to a candidate are never repeated for other candidates. 

So, overall the experience was very knowledgeable and I hope it's so for you too.

Which is a better AKTU college, IET Lucknow or BIET Jhansi??

NY
Nisha Yadav Posted On : October 28th, 2021
studies at Bundelkhand Institute Of Engineering And Technology (2023)

IET Lucknow is the best Govt. college affiliated with AKTU. It is definitely better than BIET Jhansi from the placement point of view. 

  • In IET, Lucknow, the placement record for CS, IT, and ECE are great. While the placement for BIET Jhansi has not been that good over the past few years. According to the recent placement highlights the highest and median CTC offered at IET was 36 LPA and 5 LPA. 
  • Also, IET is situated in the state capital. So, you will have access to reputed coaching centers for entrance examinations like GATE, CAT, etc. 
  • Both the institute offers average campus and facilities.

Overall, going by all these factors, I will say IET, Lucknow will be better.
