What was your experience at the Faculty of Law DU? Is it worth it to study law there?
One of my friends studied at the Faculty of Law, DU. She believes that getting admission there is one of the best things that happened to her as it has guided her career path in a lot of ways. Thus, it is worth studying there. Here is what she shares about her experience as a student:
-
It is located in the center of North Campus, just a few blocks from every illustrious DU college. The canteen, gym, library, and all other services are open, and food is subsidized.
-
The most crucial factor is your peers. At the law school, you'll discover a lovely and hard-working crowd where everyone is eager to assist you if you are struggling in any way, even during the semester exams.
-
The tea shop and chatting on any subject under the sun are a terrific way to spend an evening at the Wisdom Tree, which is always proudly standing in the courtyard of the old faculty area. The teachers and guides are decent. The syllabus and course materials are excellent, and they even offer free high-quality materials.
-
Marking is a bit difficult. The question paper standard is on par with that of the UPSC and occasionally even higher than that of the judicial services. So, in order to get into the First Division, one must work hard. It is impossible to stand apart.
The faculty is among the most qualified and experienced in the country. One of the teachers who taught IPC there recently rose to ninth place in the Bihar Judicial Services. You can imagine the difficulty and the level.
The college has produced some of the country's best judges, lawyers, and bureaucrats.
Which way is better? Joining XLRI Jamshedpur this year or taking CAT next year again and try for IIM A,B, C?
My uncle has been in the industry for 11 years and he gave me a very useful piece of advice regarding CAT and admissions.
If you are not working currently then you should definitely join XLRI. This is because you will be risking an entire year on the pretext of getting a call from an IIM which itself is not very easy. You will be wasting a year and will have not gained any experience at all.
However, if you are currently working, you can't risk another year because the least that will happen is you will not end up getting selected for IIM. On the brighter side, you will gain an additional year of experience which will in turn make your CV stronger. So basically you won’t be losing much.

Infrastructure:

What is the actual average salary for NMIMS Mumbai? Is it really worthwhile to do an MBA from NMIMS, considering the huge fees and inflated placement reports?
One of my friends got into NMIMS through NMAT. According to him, it was not the most sorted choice as their rankings and placement reports are inflated.
- They show an average package of 16 LPA being offered to 550 students but it is impossible to get that.
- Usually students receive a 12-13 LPA for core subjects and 9-10 LPA for HR.
- NMIMS is a popular brand, thus the brand name attracts lots of students in Hyderabad and Bangalore campus. But they are not good enough as generally promoted.
- IMT, NMIMS, SIBM, XIMB were once one of the top private B-schools . But their standards have degraded recently. Only MDI managed to maintain and move forward.
- No other B-school increased fees like NMIMS. Its fees are more than XLRI and IIM A, B and C.
- The building at NMIMS is also not great, according to the fees that they charge.
- No other college charges its candidates for conducting CDPI or GDPI. Whereas NMIMS students have to pay 1000 rupees.
- After the release of the results, students have to pay fees of about 9 lakhs in just 1 week.
Spending a huge amount for MBA education is not a great idea. People might consider it an investment, but you have to make an informed decision by also considering the ROI. Therefore, if you are an outstation student consider other colleges than NMIMS.
Why is IIM Lucknow reputed to have the most rigorous MBA programme in India?
Not just IIM Lucknow but all the IIMs and the top B-Schools offers a rigorous MBA program. MBA in itself is a very challenging course because it is designed to prepare the students for the corporate world, to handle stress and to manage their time efficiently.
IIM Lucknow MBA is considered challenging because of it comprehensive curriculum. There are lectures from morning to evening covering all the courses. It is also mandatory for the students to maintain a 80% attendance. The classes are usually interactive and the faculties expect the students to come prepared to the class with the topics that will be covered.
Then there are rigorous case studies, group project, and presentations, which demands significant time and effort. All the faculty members have a different way of teaching, some can conduct surprise test in every session or some go with presentations and case studies.
Then there are term exams and the preparation of summer internship, which is also a part of the curriculum. The competitive environment and the networking expectations also makes the course difficult for the students.
The majority of the time of the students is consumed within the classroom. Most of the free time is also spend in group discussions for projects and presentations. So students usually struggle to find time for themselves, which makes than feel that the course is difficult. But within a few months most of the students adjust to this life and are able to manage time both for studies and leisure work like sports, club activities etc.
Which one should I choose, Ashoka University or DU?
You should choose Ashoka University. It follows an innovative course curriculum and offers a lot of academic freedom to the students. There is no restriction on the combination of subjects that you want to pursue. Other than major and minor subjects, students are required to foundation courses in various subjects. If you are confused about your major, you can do a foundation course on it and decide on your major in the 2nd or 3rd semester. As a part of course work, students are required to write research papers, abstracts, and essays.
The student crowd of Ashoka is excellent due to the stringent selection process. Ashoka University acceptance rate is 8-9%.
How is IIIT Una?
Here are some of the facts regarding IIIT Una from a student studying there.
- The students studying at IIIT Una have NIT Hamirpur as their mentor institute but after the year 2018, the 2019-23 batch is left studying all alone without any seniors, societies and labs.
- There has been news going round that the new batches will be accommodated in the new campus in UNA as the transit campus 2 can not accommodate any more batches.
- The administration is not very effective and supportive. There have been many instances, once a notice came about Imposition of Rs 5000/ subject for short attendance without information about the same in the start of the semester. Ultimately it was dismissed as students revolted.
- There have been circular that says that the institute is not responsible for the placement as it is an additional service. Thus, it would be clear that the college won’t be bringing any good companies. There are few good companies for CSE/IT but no good core company for ECE.
- There won’t be much of a college life for the students studying here.
- The fee is also very high.
The only benefit of studying at this institute is to get the tag of IIIT. Therefore there is not anything in this college worth joining.
