I have got admission from IIM Lucknow and I am expecting to convert from FMS Delhi. I am aware of the ROI and average salaries. Which one should I choose? What are campus life and job offers like?

Studied at IIM Lucknow

You should definitely attend IIM Lucknow rather than FMS Delhi. IIM is a brand, a distinguishing mark that will stay with you for the rest of your life. You never give up the IIM tag for FMS, no matter how much it costs.

The FMS campus has a dingy canteen the size of a bungalow, women dressed in glittery clothing roaming around, and plenty of heat and dust. There are also no hostels. You must take a PG if you go there. Food will be provided by the PG and nearby vendors.

In terms of finances, IIML fees are not comparable to Harvard fees. If you have given money to coaching institutes, you can certainly afford IIML. You may need to take out a loan, but you can certainly afford it.

Anyway, back to culture and way of life. In comparison to FMS, IIMs are king-size. Acres of land, well-kept cultivated greenery, a clean campus, and tasty mess food. Any IIM mess is better than most engineering colleges' mess, and Lucknow's Mess is delicious. The sports complex includes a large swimming pool, Jacuzzi, steam bath, large courts, and other amenities. Every two months, there will be massive student festivals where you can interact with students from other IIMs. You'll get a free membership to a nearby club where you can wine and dine. The student exchange program with Europe at IIM Lucknow is fantastic. You have the opportunity to study alongside international students and make friends from all over the world.

During the IIM Lucknow summer placements for the 2022-24 batch, 570 job offers were made and over 185 recruiters visited the campus. Aside from that, the highest and average stipends offered during summer placements at IIM Lucknow for the 2022-24 batch were INR 3.5 lakh per month and INR 1.41 lakh per month, respectively.

How is life at IIT, Jodhpur?

SR
Sayantan Ray Posted On : August 2nd, 2023
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur (IITJ) (Graduated 2021)

The permanent campus of IIT Jodhpur is spread across 872 acres. Life over here is pretty good. The senior-junior interaction is good and the peers are more like family members. Jodhpur does not offer much in terms of entertainment, however, we enjoy our campus life and try to make the most of it. 

There are two main fests, Varchas- the sports fest, and Ignus-the techno-cult-socio fest. Both these fests are conducted at a much greater level than other new IITs. Other than these two, there is the intra college fest- Spandan, the unplugged night, and Intra college technical fest-Nimble. Other than these, a lot more fun activities keep happening on campus. 

IIT Jodhpur is a small IIT, therefore, students from across streams get to actively participate in the clubs and fests. You will easily get PoRs here. The five societies at IIT Jodhpur include Arts and Design, Cultural, Sports, Technical, and Academic Research and Development.

The girls' hostel has a curfew set at 12 AM - 5 AM. Girls and boys are not allowed in each other’s hostel common area as of now. Both genders get equal opportunities in every respect and the faculty at IIT Jodhpur is learned and supportive.

Overall, life is quite great at IIT J and I am quite happy to be a part of it.

What is meant by evening colleges of DU?

JT
Jayant Thakur Posted On : October 10th, 2022
Student at University of Delhi

Classes at the evening college start in the afternoon and end in the evening.

The curriculum, degree, classes, principal (in most cases), canteen, and location are all the same for the morning and evening batches.

However, the cutoffs differ; evening colleges have a lower cutoff than morning colleges. It has a different faculty and administration and is less crowded than the morning classes.

It differs from one college to the next. Some evening colleges are excellent, while others are on par with government schools. Teachers are present, but students don't actually care, and vice versa.

So, students with lower percentages in their XII standard are more likely to be admitted to evening colleges.

If you want to attend evening college, you don't have to feel inferior to morning students because many students from evening colleges have topped the DU exam.

Ultimately, it is up to you to consider and make decisions wisely. Many students attend evening colleges and then go to coaching to prepare for exams such as UPSC and SSC in the morning.

Is AIIMS Rishikesh too strict and disciplined for students?

Muskan Shafi Posted On : April 2nd, 2024

There is a certain level of strictness and discipline in medical colleges. A medical student needs to be dedicated and disciplined to ace academics. Hence, medical colleges do maintain strict rules and regulations to train students to become better doctors in future. 

It is a misconception that AIIMS Rishikesh is too strict and disciplined for students. In comparison, with other medical colleges such as MAMC, AFMC Pune and other AIIMS, AIIMS Rishikesh is less strict. However, the institution is very disciplined concerning attendance, assignment submissions and behaviour of students on campus. Some professors do not allow latecomers as a way of teaching students the importance of discipline. Sometimes, students might experience academic pressure and the campus environment at AIIMS Rishikesh will help students experience peace and serenity. 

In case of any injustice, students can reach out to the study body welfare association at AIIMS Rishikesh which is dedicated to helping students.
