How is life in IIM Ahmedabad?

AS
Aniket Sinha Posted On : March 10th, 2022
PGP from Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (2018)

Life at IIM Ahmedabad depends on your course, which year or term you are in, and your personal goals. 

Until Summer placement: 

  • The schedule is pretty hectic until the summer placements (Nov). Apart from the course work, you will need to work on your CV, attend presentations conducted by recruiting companies, prepare for interviews, and complete work for the clubs you joined. 
  • It will take some time to get used to the rigorous academic routine. Lectures go on from 8:45 am to 1:10 pm. Being late to lectures isn’t an option. The notification for the 2:45 pm surprise quiz comes around 1:45 pm. Also, the deadline for most assignments is 11:59:59 pm. 

After Summer Placements: 

During this time, you will be considerably relaxed. You can concentrate on your academics and other activities since you will be placed. 

2nd Year:

  • 2nd year is different for most students. You will choose your course. So, the academic rigor will depend on the courses you are opting for.
  • Some students opt for exchange/dual degree programs. Some pickup positions of responsibility within the campus. 
  • The final placements start from January and go on until February. Most start placement preparation from October/November. 

Irrespective of the choices you make, life on IIM A campus will be enriching.

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.

Where can I find free-solved assignments for IGNOU?

KT
Karan Takkar Posted On : October 17th, 2022
M.A ECO from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

You can simply Google "free solved assignments" to find them. However, there is a catch. If you are enrolled in the January session, you may be able to find most assignments for free online. The assignments for the July session and the January session of the following year are the same at IGNOU. So your chances of finding them for free are good. However, if you are enrolled in the July session, you may not be able to find solved assignments online/offline for free.

However, you will find 99% of the assignment solutions in your IGNOU study material and exactly how you should do it. It will give you a good understanding of the subject. Ignore questions from previous years' papers and current assignments in TEE. You should complete your assignments on your own because it will undoubtedly help you in your TEE.

Why would you prefer DTU over IIT?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

If you have an average rank but want to get a decent branch then DTU is the best option especially if you are looking forward to the excellent exposure offered in Delhi. A plethora of opportunities are available here and you can intern all through the year. 

Varanasi, Kharagpur, or Roorkee have very few startups and you won’t be gaining the kind of exposure you will be getting here. Additionally, you can avail the benefits of a metro city like better placement opportunities.

Another major reason why you should choose DTDU over IIT is the diversity of the alumni of DTU. You can find DTU alumni literally everywhere from government, PSUs, and startups to high posts in big private companies. Some go for IAS, and IES or are pursuing MBA or MS abroad. The alumni pool is therefore versatile so you can get inspired to pursue a variety of careers rather than restricting yourself to Engineering only. 

However, it’s important to note that the brand value of IITs, their global recognition, flexible curriculum, and excellent faculty pool can never be compared to DTU.

How good is Delhi Technological University?

TS
Tanya Sharma Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
Studied at Delhi Technological university

Good is a very generic term. Good in terms of what and which branch? Well, the answer to every criterion and branch is different. However, I have tried my best to cover the major parameters to determine the worth of DTU

  • Brand Name: DTU has an average brand value and is only popular in Delhi NCR, Punjab, Haryana, and parts of UP. It is well known among engineering aspirants, and recruiters but is not as recognized as NITs and IITs. 
  • Infrastructure: DTU has a great infrastructure with a lush green campus and top-notch campus facilities. The library is well-stocked, the classrooms are decked with modern facilities and DTU also has great sports facilities. 
  • Hostels: The accommodation facilities are somewhat miserable here and some of the hostel buildings are in pathetic condition with damping seepages, falling plasters, and broken windows. The mess food is average and canteens also have a limited variety. 
  • Quality of Education: Academics is where DTU fails miserably. DTU has obsolete pedagogy and curriculum that is irrelevant to the recent trends in the industry. Most of the teachers have little interest in teaching and examinations are a joke here. Some exceptionally good teachers help you in writing research papers and securing internships.
  • Crowd: The 2 major aspects that make DTU worth it is its good location and the quality of the crowd it attracts. You will find people with diverse ranks owing to the Delhi quota and the reservations. The huge diversity in the ranks brings a lot of personalities together. 
  • College Life: Life at DTU is very vibrant and dynamic with many ongoing activities and events conducted by societies, student teams, and extracurricular clubs which help the students pursue their passions.
  • Placements: The placement scenario of DTU is great especially that of computer-related branches or circuit branches. However, branches like environmental engineering or biotech don’t have very good opportunities.
  • Higher education: Every year DTU students get admitted to top graduate and MBA programs in reputed universities like Ivy League, MIT, UT Austin, University of Michigan, IIMs, XLRI, FMS, ISB. 

How good DTU is, depends on what you are expecting from it!

AK
Anjani Kumar Posted On : November 7th, 2022
B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam University (Graduated 2019)

At AKTU, the year-back criteria are pretty simple. You are likely to get a year back in any of the following situations:

  • If in a single year, you have back 6 subjects

  • If you score below 30 in 6 subjects in a year

  • If you fail any practical exam

  • If you do not appear for a practical exam

  • If you are accused of UFM or unfair means like cheating to pass an exam

Any of the above situations will result in a year back. Try to avoid this as much as possible because it will become very hectic for you.

Which is the best coaching institute for IITJEE in Indore(MP)?

NT
Nivedita Trivedi Posted On : June 17th, 2023
Lives in Indore

The best coaching institute for IIT JEE in Indore MP is Kalpavriksha.

My sister opted for the PCM stream in class 11th and started looking for good coaching she came across a few popular ones like Rankers Point and Catalyser. Kalpavriksha was a little less popular yet, after listening to their schedule, she was convinced to join it. They have a crazy schedule and make the students stay from the morning till night.

  • The batches are divided on the basis of the student's performance in the entrance exam. The classes are the same for every batch with differences in the duration of classes only. 
  • The main figure, Vijit Sir designs the schedule for individual students and sees to it that everyone follows it.
  • A typical day schedule comprises lecture timings, self-study, booklet solving, lecture notes reading, tests, and their analysis. 
  • Tests are conducted daily and sometimes there are 3-4 tests in a single day that improves the students' performance tenfold.
  • The personal attention given to students here is excellent and even a minor degrade in performance is looked at.
  • The tough schedule at Kalpavriksha makes the students give up on all distractions and installs a sense of discipline.

My sister followed everything told and worked hard. She managed to get an excellent rank of 305/360 in JEE Mains, AIR 220 in JEE Advanced and 438/450 in BITSAT on the first attempt itself. She gave all the credit to Kalpavriksha!

What is your review of DIT University?

RJ
Rajat Joshi Posted On : May 6th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science, DIT University, Dehradun

My friend is a final-year student at DIT University. Since the university is a private one, everything is simply in your hands. 

The following points are based on her experience at the campus:

  • Campus: The university has a good environment. You can enjoy the sterile hilly scenic beauty from the windows of the class. All this might even distract you from the lectures going on while studying.
  • Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and would definitely help you out in any way possible. As per my friend, there are only a smaller number of ‘not par’ teachers, but they were average. Most of the faculty members are well qualified with good experience in their respective fields. 
  • Extra-curricular activities: Right from the freshers’ party till the farewell, you will get countless opportunities to perform in front of the audience and showcase your talent. You can join college clubs, be a part of them and bring out new ideas. The clubs aren’t very active and you’ll be free most of the time you stay here. 
  • Placements: The placements were good this year. My friend got placed in two companies: Infosys and Wipro. For the CS branch, the placements are very good. Infosys, Wipro, Cognizance, TCS, Adobe, Amazon, etc. are just a few companies in which the DIT students have got placed.

The following table shows the placement stats for the 2021-21 batch of the university:

Apart from this, the hostels are really neat and clean with good infrastructure. Food available in the mess is also descent. People often miss the place and the college once their studies finish here.
