What do IIIT Allahabad students think about Dr. Rahul Kala?
Dr. Rahul Kala- assistant professor at the Department of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics is one of the faculty members at IIIT Allahabad. He indeed is one of the finest of all. Here are something you should know about him -
- Dr. Kala completed his 5-year integrated B.Tech (IT) and M.Tech (IT) program from IIIT Gwalior.
- Dr. Kala also has a Ph.D. in Cybernetics which is from the School of Systems Engineering, University of Reading, UK.
- Pattern Recognition and Classification, Intelligent Vehicles and Intelligent Transportation System, Robotic Motion Planning were areas he had done extensive research in.
- There are a good number of books and research papers written by him.
Naturewise, Dr. Kala is one fine person who is so very humble and simple in his ways. Unless he doesn't have any lectures or meetings to attend, Dr. Kala arrives at his office around 9:00-9:30 AM and departs right at 9:00 PM in the night.
He can be described as someone who is-
- Down-to-earth
- Known for his candor amongst both his students and colleagues
- Extremely passionate about what he does. He learns at once and makes decisions accordingly
- Would always be seen either going through certain research papers, AI Books, Thesis, etc., and scribbling some technical formulae on the whiteboard in his office which no student would be able to decipher and wonder why even did they opt for Robotics in the first place.
- Even if you decide to barge into his office unannounced, he would never mind that and would be ready to help you with your thesis or coding.
- Even if it is a teacher or even a student, he would always be a great mentor to them
- You'd always find Dr. Kala wearing a smile and would never find him cranky. He is someone who would also lighten the mood of the class by cracking a joke
To capsule everything about Dr. Kala, the point that I've tried to make is that you'll receive the best guidance and learning from him. His company is always appreciated. Whether it is anyone from their labs or lecture rooms- they'd always praise having Dr. Kala around.

Why is Prof. Anju Seth considered as the worst director in IIM Calcutta's history by faculty, students, and alumni?
The reputation of Prof. Anju Seth has been tainted recently with allegations of promoting cost-cutting of the institute. This has largely affected the quality of research conducted. Some major changes due to this cost cutting are:
-
Digital subscriptions have been taken off our library
-
No payments to the institute’s support/admin staff for work like minor tasks during convocation or dressing the students and helping them out during the event.
-
Many students suffered during the pandemic as they were not allowed to leave without paying
Although the students, alumni, and faculty all have voiced their concern to the management but in vain.
What is the salary for assistant professors in BITS Pilani?
BITS Pilani assistant professor salary is approximately around INR 97,000/month before taxes, including DA. The salary amount is decided based on the UGC scale. It also depends on the designation and experience of the faculty member. Other than salary, the faculty members of BITS Pilani get housing benefits.
How much do profs like L Gurunathan from XLRI earn from their guest lectures at IIM Ahmedabad?
Any visiting professor or faculty member, like L Gurunathan from XLRI, is paid on an hourly basis. It is rather a fair amount to share. For a full credit 30 hour course, a professor like him can be paid anywhere from Rs. 8,000 per hour to Rs. 15,000 per hour. Generally, new IIMs pay a lot higher than what old IIMs pay, which somehow can be anticipated.
The best guess still remains to be around Rs. 10,000 per hour or a whole 3 lac, if the professor invests for a full credit course. Other than that, if you wish to know how L Gurunathan in XLRI is known to be, then read the progression.
L Gurunathan had taught Comp. and Benefits in the Talent Management course online offered solely by XLRI - VIL programs to my younger cousin alongside other students, and as he reports, his vantage point isn't likely the best. Students comparatively arrive with basic industry knowledge, but his attitude towards them doesn’t remain smooth at all. It is something to consider.
He also, over time, has failed providing students important notes, handouts or book suggestions, unlike many other professors. Students have often come up saying that his indifferent behaviour has led into not sharing better information of Comp. and Benefits which rather is a very technical subject itself.
He is somehow infamous for not teaching the proper structures of a topic. He teaches what he thinks about, which practically can be chaotic, if not followed a pattern. The story however does not end there. L Gurunathan, when asked for various case studies or book suggestions, directly moves into denial, saying that his teachings on the topic are strictly based on one.
Among JECRC University and Manipal University, Jaipur, which has better faculty and placements?
Manipal University, Jaipur has better faculty and placements compared to JECRC University. The university offers a hands-on learning experience to students. The professors are well-experienced and have in-depth knowledge in their respective fields.
Companies such as Amazon, Accenture, SAP Labs, ZS Associates, etc. take part in the placement drive. Manipal University Jaipur placements in 2022 ended with an average CTC of INR 7 LPA. While the highest CTC offered was INR 55 LPA.
Which has the better faculty in civil engineering, IIT Guwahati or IIT BHU??
IIT Guwahati has better faculty than IIT BHU in the civil engineering department. IIT BHU has poor faculty; the professors lack the ability to communicate the concepts clearly to the students, and they do not have sufficient knowledge of the core subject, especially in the civil engineering department. They have been trying to give better classes to the students in recent years. But if you get the choice to select any of these two institutions in civil engineering, you can surely opt for IIT Guwahati.
How is Sikkim Manipal University in terms of campus, infrastructure, crowd, and faculty?
Sikkim Manipal University is a decent institute, with a diverse crowd, and some excellent placement records. The points below are a brief overview of all considerable aspects of Sikkim Manipal University.
- The campus is situated in a remote location. The internal infrastructure is moderate. But, students always head towards a successful career.

- Several alumni of SMIT are employees in top companies like Oracle, Google, Microsoft, etc.
- Due to the corporate exposure and reputation established by Well Fargo, it is considered that students from SMIT are quite creative, opportunistic, and energetic in their service.
