Utsav Saha Posted On : May 30th, 2023
MBBS from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi (2017)

Getting into AIIMS Delhi is a dream come true and it’s difficult to express the feeling in words. You are overwhelmed and feel grateful at the same time. The life of an MBBS student at AIIMS is very hectic and challenging but rewarding at the same time. AIIMS is a prestigious medical institution in India and is known for its rigorous curriculum and high standards of education. 

Students are expected to study and work hard to keep up with the pace of the program, which includes both classroom learning and clinical rotations. However, students also have access to state-of-the-art facilities and resources, as well as opportunities for research and professional development. 

  • The first month is spent in interaction wherein every student is assigned a senior that becomes their guide for the entire time. Initially, these interactions might be grilling but soon you will realize how much your confidence level boosts and your personality as a whole grows.
  • Soon there is a freshers party organized by the seniors which will be the last time you will be enjoying to the core.
  • Soon, it’s time for the PULSE, the annual cultural festival of AIIMS undergraduates. The campus will become active with preparations for the biggest medical cultural festival in South-East Asia. You will feel a sense of pride in organizing an event this huge in scale. 
  • Soon all the fun ends as you are faced with your first mid-semester exams. The students can be seen roaming around tensed and anxious, approaching seniors for every possible help.
  • Soon winter hits, and the most anticipated Shimla Trip is organized marking the end of the semester.
  • After the trip, you are left with a few weeks of vacation and you can visit home.
  • Next, January witnesses the Students Union elections. Feb-March witnesses the election results, a kite-flying celebration of Makar Sankranti, Vasant Panchami, and Saraswati Puja followed by the best Holi you will experience.
  • April welcomes the INFEST, the intra-college annual fest, in which only your college mates participate.
  • Lastly, you will have to sit for the first professional final exams which are followed by the month-long summer vacations marking the end of the first year.

Overall, the life of an MBBS student at AIlMS, Delhi is intense but fulfilling.

Should I do an online BSc data science and programming course from IIT Madras? Will I get placement after it?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : July 12th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

My friend has enrolled himself for B.Sc. Data Science and Programming course from IIT M. He carefully accessed the course curriculum.

According to him, the course requires at least 4 to 6 hours of study each day.

One can not simply study it on the weekends and cope up. My friend has a tight working schedule, and therefore, he is considering leaving this course.

But if you can devote time for the course each day, then this course will definitely benefit you. The placement statistics are not very clear but the curriculum is rigorous and so you will learn new skills that will come handy during job search.

How is ISB Mohali campus compared to the Hyderabad one in terms of student quality, placements and education?

SG
Senjuti Guha Posted On : March 22nd, 2022
studied at Indian School of Business (2018)

It’s hard to draw a differentiating line between the two campuses. 

Peer Group: 

The admission committee selects the incoming class and distributes it across the two campuses. So, you will get a similar peer group at both campuses. 

Placements: 

ISB Hyderabad and ISB Mohali conduct placements as a single school. Fore placements, students of one campus fly down to another. Students also don’t mention their campus on their CV. ISB Mohali placements 2022 had an average CTC of INR 34.07 LPA. 

Education: 

The quality of education and pedagogy are the same for both campuses. The faculties shuffle between the campuses and there are guest faculties from reputed B-Schools like MIT, Kellogg, LBS, etc. 

At ISB Mohali, you will get almost the same academic experience as ISB Hyderabad.

Why is game theory part of the curriculum at XLRI Jamshedpur?

AK
Anwita Kaul Posted On : May 24th, 2023
Studied at XLRI

Game theory is an essential aspect of business and almost all the major B-schools have game theory as part of their curriculum. Whether it's a mandatory course or not might vary depending upon your institute. 

I am sure you have all heard about the prisoner’s dilemma which was only the tip of a giant game theory subject. MBA is supposed to teach you how to make decisions that serve you in the best interest despite adversity and game theory could help you optimize your decision-making. All things said it’s not an easy subject.

Is CSE at IIT Bombay overrated?

PG
Pratik Gandhi Posted On : March 23rd, 2023
B.Tech. CSE, IIT Bombay

IIT Bombay’s rankings are a testament to its credibility and worth in the technology industry. Most JEE toppers consider IIT Bombay as their first preference. This is because IIT Bombay excels in almost all X aspects of B8 placements, faculty, or exposure.

During the placement season companies from a wide range of sectors visit the campus. However, there are some dark facts behind these placement drives. I came to know of these realities through true friends and pass outs of the institute.

One cannot deny the fact that IIT Bombay has witnessed an increase in demand due to the strong influence it has. It is sad to say but many coaching centers run by alumni of IIT Bombay promote the institute. When engineering aspirants contact the alumni for counseling and advice, most of them portray IIT Bombay as the best choice leading to a more influential decision.

What I ultimately mean is that IIT Bombay is definitely the best choice when it comes to engineering. But the fact that no other college is as good as IIT Bombay is also not true.

Whats the least one have to score to grab a seat through jipmer?

SA
Shiksha Ahuja Posted On : October 4th, 2021
Master of Public Health [MPH] at Jawaharlal Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research

The cut-off usually depends upon the category you belong from. That being said, if considering that you belong to the General Category, and you are not a resident of Pondicherry, then the cut-off percentile is around 50. 

The cut-off is based on the percentile received in the exam. Here are the recent cutoff trends. 

Category (As per Guidelines) Minimum Percentile Required
General Unreserved (UR / OCI / NRI) 50
General Unreserved (UR) OPH 45
ST / SC / OBC / OPH 40

Generally, for UR Non-Pondicherry candidates, the available seats are almost about 65, the breakdown of which can be reported as 50 in Pondicherry itself, and 15 in Karaikal. The top 65 rankers are rather marked safe in the list.

Now, if you look closely at the AIIMS and JIPMER merit lists, there are numerous toppers that appear in each of the respective lists. Quite clearly, at least about 30 to 35 candidates choose to leave JIPMER to enlist at AIIMS, New Delhi. 

That being said, it is quite natural that the top 100 students will secure a seat in JIPMER under the UR category. The number however can drop down if a candidate is moving to some other college.

Which one should one join for doing an MBA - MDI, NMIMS, SJMSOM (IITB), IIM Shillong, or new IIMs??

AS
Ankur Sinha Posted On : July 11th, 2022
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

MDI will be a better option for all specializations, except Operations. If you are interested in Operations, IIT Bombay is much better. MDI Gurgaon placements are excellent. Big names such as Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and BCG have visited the campus placements. The 2022 placement drive had an average CTC of INR 26.65 LPA. 

MDI offers the best placement in the finance domain after IIM A, B, C, FMS, and XLRI. JP, HSBC, Nomura, Stanchart, etc. are some of the major recruiters from the finance sector. 

MDI placement records for Marketing are good as well. HUL, Coke, Pepsi, and P&G are some significant recruiters from the marketing sector.

Has anyone regretted after joining XLRI HRM?

GS
Gaurav Sharma Posted On : May 20th, 2023
studied at Xavier School of Management

I talked to a cousin who was planning his higher studies and he told me that when he started planning his career, he prioritized 2 things. He will pursue what he is good at and will do what he actually likes doing. 

After considerable anticipation, he decided to pursue HR and shared his experience so far. To date, he is glad he decided to take up HR and has no regrets whatsoever. In fact, he had temporarily joined a software job which confirmed his lack of interest in that field.

He chose HR over BM despite knowing job opportunities for BM are better than HR. What kept him going was his initial decision of sticking to what he loved.

As his journey commenced, he started creating memories in Jamshedpur, making new friends, having wonderful experiences, and taking part in both co-curricular and extra-curricular stuff. After some nervousness in placements, today he has successfully completed a year in an HR role. 

HRM is always going to be more niche than most, and that’s exactly why XLRI, a premier b-school is the best option for HR. The plethora of competitions and scope provided is the envy of the B-school world.

He loved HR in general and XLRI specifically because it taught him that pursuing what you love will make you happy even if the monetary return is not huge.

How hectic is AFMC Pune?

KS
Kalyan Sahu Posted On : September 22nd, 2023
AFMC Pune

The level of hecticness at AFMC Pune or any medical college actually depends on the kind of crowd you are surrounded with. While most believe that your life becomes peaceful once the first term is over, I negate this opinion because, in reality, you will experience the most hectic life during those initial days. Once again, here, I answer what I have experienced.

A close friend shared his experience of the initial days at AFMC. 

  • On the first evening, he along with his batchmates were summoned by the fresher NCO. He informed everyone about the rules and regulations they were required to follow. 
  • The first day began with early morning PT before which everyone had shaved off their face and worn the PT uniform. A headcount confirmed the attendance and they were asked to run from U block to Otilia Mascarenhas Sports Ground. 
  • They were then required to change and assemble to go to Central Cadets Mess in just 15 minutes. After that, they headed to their lectures.
  • After classes were over, they went back to U block and were called for evening games an hour later. Games were followed by dinner. 
  • After dinner, the students assembled for the last task of the day, orientation. 
  • After the orientation, their mess warden addressed them and they were finally dismissed.

Overall, the fresher term is the most hectic time at AFMC also because you haven't adjusted to the environment. But slowly the burden is reduced and you start enjoying your college life.
