How is hostel facilities in acharya institute of technology?

RK
Roopam Kumar Posted On : February 16th, 2021
BE CS from Acharya Institute of Technology (2020)

A friend of mine stayed at the HKG Hall of Residence at Acharya Institute. Some of the important aspects of the hostel life at Acharya Institute according to his experience are as follows. 

  • The double sharing hostel rooms are priced at INR 1.1 and INR 1.47 Lakh per annum respectively.
  • The rooms are spacious and come with attached bedding, storage facilities, and lights. 
  • The quality of food available in the hostel mess can be better. 
  • In some cases, the food items either get over within 15 to 20 minutes of being served, and at other times a huge quantity of food gets wasted.
  • However, not everyone comes here for wasting food and recouping money thereafter.
  • The majority of the occupiers of the hostel are students of 1st year, whereas most of these students move out of the hostels into individual accommodations or PG room services once they are through 2nd year.
  • The hostel environment, room-mates, and fellow students will have a direct impact on your study and personal experience.
  • It is essential to learn to develop your own skills while living in the hostel and studying at the institute in order to ensure progress.

However, considering all the above factors, you should make a firm decision while choosing the hostels. As your main aim is to study & develop new learning skills for career growth while living in the hostel and wasting your money should not be your priority.

Does IQAS recognise a distance learning BCA from Sikkim Manipal University for an ECA?

NB
Nirav Batra Posted On : October 6th, 2021
Studied Software Engineering & Computer Programming,Sikkim Manipal University (2017)

As far as it is known, IQAS and ICES solely acknowledge degrees from Sikkim Manipal University. For ECA you should opt for Sikkim Manipal University but do not go for WES as they do not recognize degrees from SMU. 

It is suggested that you opt for IQAS as they take 5 – 6 weeks for the fulfillment of the process accurately whereas ICES generally takes around 25 weeks for the completion of the same.

How is the integrated M.Sc in Pondicherry University?

AS
Avni Sen Posted On : September 29th, 2021
Integrated M.Sc from Pondicherry University (2021)

Some of my friends studied at Pondicherry University. According to them, they offer three Integrated M.Sc programs –

  • Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science
  • Physics, Chemistry and Applied Geology
  • History, Sociology and Political Science

You will have to choose from these three disciplines only and then choose the major subject among them. 

The advantages of the course and university are listed below.

  • You can exit the course after three years with a B.Sc degree.
  • The syllabus is light even though there are three major subjects and thus you can take up any additional courses you like.
  • The university offers freedom in terms of uniform, timetable, and everything else while many of the undergraduate colleges still have school-like rules.
  • You can study an undergraduate course from a university which is pretty rare.

Studying 5 years in an Arts stream is difficult and should be reconsidered. The best course is Physics, Chemistry, and Applied Geology. Doing M.Sc in Computer Science is also not a good idea.

How transparent is the PGDM admission process for Great Lakes Chennai?

PT
Prayan Thampi Posted On : July 12th, 2023
Lives in Chennai

Unfortunately, the Great Lakes PGDM admission process is not at all transparent. The candidates are never provided with the waitlists. Although there are 2 cycles for around 120 seats, they don’t reveal how many seats they fill with cycle 2.

In fact, the students of the second cycle never receive emails for selection, and the interviews conducted date just for formality. 

The admissions results are not announced for weeks and the administration does not even care to respond to emails. Great Lakes Gurgaon on the other hand responds well to emails and the authorities will somehow convince you to consider Great Lakes Gurgaon over Chennai. 

The entire process is very fishy and students are misled even after paying registration fees.

What was your placement experience at Thapar University?

AM
Agnish Mukherjee Posted On : August 3rd, 2023
BE from Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology

My brother shared his placement experience at Thapar University. He got a break of one month prior to placement season. This break was meant for preparing for the interviews and gave him enough time to work on his aptitude, coding, and other technical skills. He was inclined towards core profile jobs so he focused mainly on aptitude and technical skills.

  • The first interview he sat for was TCS Digital but he failed to clear its written test.
  • Next came Varroc of which his written test went very well, but sadly they didn't select anyone from his branch.
  • For Asian paints, he managed to clear the written round but failed in the group discussion round
  • After this, he appeared for around 4–5 IT/Software companies but failed to clear the rounds. 
  • After this, Capgemini had 2 written rounds which he cleared easily but his interview was postponed.  
  • The next day he heard that Reliance was also coming. It was his dream to get selected there but he wasn’t sure if he could reject Capgemini for Reliance. 
  • He decided to try his luck and went for Reliance Industries Ltd. He cleared the written test and the interview as well. 

He managed to make it into his dream company when all other companies had rejected him!

Is IIT Jammu safe for students?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : July 15th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

One of my friends has been living in Jammu for around 7 years and claims it to be one of the safest cities in India. Its reputation has been tainted because of its neighboring cities like Kashmir and Srinagar. Jammu has no links or influences of the violence that happens in these cities and the misleading media coverage makes people believe otherwise. 

Jammu is a very safe city even for females as the crime rate is very low here. You can walk around the campus or city and will never feel in danger or unsafe. However, not everyone can fit into the monotonous and simple life here and might feel homesick. But as for safety issues, there are none!
