What is the process to get admission into IIT Gandhinagar to study in cognitive science?

YA
Yash Arora Posted On : August 2nd, 2023
IIM Bangalore | IIT Gandhinagar

For the MSc. Cognitive Science program at IIT Gandhinagar, there are two selection rounds, a written test, and a panel interview. The application process starts from the 2nd week of January and based on your application (SOP and Academics), you are called to take a written test in the last week of February.

The written test is the same for everyone. It contains 4 comprehensive-type questions and 1 question on Data Interpretation. The paper is of 25 marks and one-hour duration. 

During the interview, a panel of three individuals asks questions based on your branch. For example, if you studied B.Tech Biotechnology, you will be asked questions on it. Some questions are asked from basic Neuroscience and others are asked from the subjects that you studied during your UG. 

You will also be asked about your purpose for pursuing this course. This is an important question that will increase your chances of getting selected among students from various educational backgrounds. 

The selection rate for the course is very slim, around 3.3%. Usually, your GATE/NET scores are not considered and your academic record, written test performance, and interview performance are taken into consideration for selection into the MSc. Cognitive Science program offered at IIT Gandhinagar.

I would suggest you practice comprehensive-type questions and go through your application properly. Prepare well and you will surely get selected for this course at IIT Gandhinagar.

How good is Msc Finance at Anil Surendra Modi School of Commerce, NMIMS?

SD
Sharmistha Das Posted On : July 9th, 2021
B.Sc. Finance, SVKM's NMIMS (2020)

Anil Surendra Modi School of Commerce at NMIMS Mumbai started offering an M.Sc in Finance quite recently. Here are some of the things that you should know about the course.

  • The course structure is very good and is at par with JBIMS as well.
  • The college does not have its own hostels. So campus life is virtually zero. But that’s the kind of norm at Mumbai colleges.
  • Faculty will always be a mixed bag at any school/college. While some may be excellent some may not be so good.
  • The course fee is around INR 3 lakhs per year which is not cheap by any standard.
  • It has an intake of only 30 students which has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The placement data are not shared by the institute. So do not expect a salary in the league of the MBAs. Also do not compare it with other top commerce colleges such as DSE.

What's the reputation of the South Asian University in Delhi for an MSc in applied mathematics?

SK
Suhani Kashyap Posted On : June 23rd, 2021
Studied at Delhi University (2018)

South Asian University is a central funded government university. According to my friend studying there, It is not only an exceptional university in India but only one among the records of international universities in the world.

  • This international university was established by a member of the SAARC.
  • It was a dream project of Dr. Man Mohan Singh which he had proposed in the 13th SAARC summit held in Dhaka.
  • It was later in the 14th summit that the establishment of this university was decided to be held in India.
  • It provides courses of Applied Math, Biotechnology, Computer Science, Development Economics, International relations, Sociology, and Legal Studies.
  • Its permanent campus is under construction in Maidan Garhi, Delhi while being operated from Akbar Bhawan, Chanakyapuri.
  • SAARC consists of 8 countries which are India, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
  • Therefore, the degree given by the university is recognized by the UGC of all 8 countries.
  • The tag of SAARC attached would benefit your career in foreign countries as well.

SAU has its own limitations as it is a new university. SAU is yet to be known among the scholarly and creating its name. Due to its less popularity, the entrance competition is not very tough. However, students prefer IITs, DU, and JNU for their post-graduate studies ignoring the high-level facilities provided at SAU.

PT
Pradnya Tripathi Posted On : September 30th, 2023
NIMHANS (2022)

NIMHANS is an institute of national importance and has excellent hostel facilities. There are 3 hostels for resident doctors, namely 

  • Old KABINI hostel
  • New KABINI hostel
  • KABINI Annexe hostel

Additionally, these hostels have 3 different types of rooms, single, small family, and family. The hostel rooms are allotted on the basis of their availability. Sometimes family rooms are allowed for 2–3 residents.

These hostels have decent facilities and almost everything you want can be procured easily. The Kabini mess in the KABINI Annexe building serves a wide variety of food items like veg, non-veg, salad, juice, ice-creams, chats, etc. But it’s more like a canteen so you have to pay for your food. The staff canteen is attached to the OLD block building and serves diction breakfast and lunch. 

Overall, the hostel facilities for PG residents at NIMHANS are great.

How is the MSc psychology program in Jain University?

RR
Ranita Roshan Posted On : July 19th, 2021
Studied B.Sc from MIT

M.Sc Psychology has good reviews in general, but it is not preferred to pursue it from Jain University. Psychology these days is expanding tremendously as people are realizing the need for therapy and mental health. Jain University students will not be able to compete with those of any other college.

  • As per my friends’ experience, you will be given 50 PPTs in total to mug up the course material. It might contain good information but it is not enough for the postgraduate level.
  • In terms of knowledge and growth, Jain University is not the place to.
  • The general environment is relaxed, even attendance isn't an issue. However, they are not goal-oriented and do not offer any help with placements either.

If you're interested in psychology then prepare for entrances facilitated by Delhi University, AMU, Hyderabad University or JNU, or any other top university. You should find someone on LinkedIn who has already qualified for the program at Jain University and is employed in the domain of your choice.

How is the integrated MSc at BIT Mesra?

AB
Arun Biswas Posted On : April 12th, 2023
Studied at Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra

If you are interested in pursuing a career in research, the integrated MSc program offered by BIT Mesra is a great option to consider. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

  • The program offers a comprehensive curriculum that covers a wide range of topics in mathematics, computing, physics, chemistry, and food technology. This provides students with a strong foundation in the fundamentals of science and prepares them for advanced study and research.
  • One of the unique features of the program is that it offers an exit option after the third year, allowing students to leave with a BSc degree if they choose to do so. This is not available at many other colleges and can be helpful for those who may want to pursue other options after completing their undergraduate studies.
  • If you choose to continue with the program and complete the full five-year integrated MSc, you will have the opportunity to specialize in mathematics and computing, which is equivalent to a computer science degree. This specialization can be particularly useful if you are interested in pursuing a career in software development or data science.
  • While placements should not be the primary focus of a science degree, the mathematics and computing specialization at BIT Mesra has a good placement record. Students who work hard and excel in their studies can expect to have job opportunities available to them after graduation.

The Integrated MSc program at BIT Mesra is a rigorous and demanding course of study. It requires a strong commitment to hard work and dedication to succeed. However, for those who are passionate about science and research, it can be a highly rewarding and fulfilling experience.
