I got NIT Surathkal ECE and IIIT Bangalore CSE. I am joining IIIT Bangalore CSE, is it a good decision?
This is a very subjective question. However, as a student of ECE at NIT Surathkal, I am writing down a few points in defense of my degree-
- First of all, NIT Surathkal offers a much more complete and diversified engineering education. This is because you will get to interact with the students of various disciplines from around the institution. This will offer a good exposure in contrast to the IIITs which are entirely focused on CSE and ECE branches.
- ECE is the branch of the future. CSE is turning more and more into a commodity. This is due to the dilution of its educational standards, and the increasing volume of students in this branch.
- As an ECE student, you can always learn programming (it is in fact a part of the curriculum in a limited manner). However, it is much more difficult to learn the concepts of ECE as a CSE student.
- As an ECE student you can be placed in a software company, but as a CSE student you can’t work in the E&C field.
- Both the colleges are good, but NITK holds more prestige because it is much older. Its campus is very impressive as well.
But even IIIT Bangalore CSE is a great option. Once you’ve made a decision, stop seeking others’ opinions. Instead, work on your skill enhancement. Considering the sheer lack of core jobs in the electronics sector in India and the huge placement opportunities in the IT sector, your choice is good from a placement point of view.
What makes it possible for BITS Pilani CSE students to fetch an average annual placement package of 27.07 LPA, the highest in India for any undergraduate CS course?
BITS Pilani was able to fetch the highest average in India for any UG CS course owing to the numerous international offers that it received. I don’t consider including the international offers after converting them into Indian offers and then calculating the average as things like stocks and bonuses for subsequent years are overlooked. Thus, the resultant average is inflated and misleading. No doubt BITS is a great institute but being a private one it certainly publishes exaggerated ads and misleading figures to attract the crowd.
BITS Placement Unit is infamous for its actions and bias so the inflated figures also served the purpose of silencing the ones that criticized the unit.
The only solution to this problem is for colleges to come together and decide on a common declaration format for job offers. The Indian and international offers should be normalized according to purchasing power parity, and stocks made available after 3 years of working should not be considered part of a person's salary 'package'.
I got CSE in VIT Vellore and will get mechanical engineering in NIT Calicut. Which one should I choose?
NIT Calicut stands among the top NITs where you will get a lot of exposure to extracurricular activities. As it’s a government college, the fees will be relatively low as compared to private universities like VIT Vellore.
On the other hand, VIT Vellore isn’t that great institute plus being a private institute the fees is quite high for most middle-class students. If you choose Mechanical here then you can go for two different paths.
- The first path is to go for mechanical core, in which you will get ample research opportunities every now and then. However, the placement scenario will not be that great and you might get some PSUs as campus recruiters for mechanical jobs.
- The second path is to go for IT Jobs regardless of your mechanical branch.
- For this, you need to start doing regular coding and relevant skills to compete during the placement rounds.
- Most of the students are placed by mass recruiters, Although many reputed companies hire but very few students get placed by them.
| Categories | Mechanical at NIT Calicut | CSE at VIT Vellore |
| Course Fee | 5.48 lakhs | 7.83 lakhs |
| Highest CTC | 20 LPA | 20 LPA |
| Average CTC | 9 LPA | 6-8 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | L&T, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Tata Motors, etc. | Flipkart, Oracle, HP, Dell, etc. |
At last, it all depends on your interest and caliber to do well on various career paths. However, if you are inclined towards CSE only then VIT is quite a good option because placements are pretty good there for CSE. Some of the major recruiters include PayPal, Microsoft, Amazon, Morgan Stanley, etc.
How is SRCCs GBO programme? How are the placements and the faculty? What is the course structure like?
According to the students of SRCC, the GBO is a really underrated and underappreciated course, but has a potential to be considered one of the top management courses in India. The course started with an inclination towards international management. There are few benefits to the course.
- SRCC has a brand value. It is one of the best commerce colleges in the country.
- The Faculty members are well experienced.
- Every faculty associated with GBO has excelled in his or her field.
- Lectures on Communication and International trade also take place.
- The Principal takes classes on Financial Management.
- Taking a Management course is an investment which would give a proper return in the future.
- With a fee of 80,000 per semester and students getting a salary package of 9.5 lakhs is a decent offer.
GBO, therefore will for sure provide a platform to start off your career but it depends on how you modify yourself and enhance your skills to get maximum benefits.

Is FMS Delhi a good option for a MBA executive program?
Yes, pursuing an MBA Executive from FMS Delhi is indeed a very good decision. This is because my brother was in the recent batch and according to him these are the reasons that make it a good choice
- ROI: The fees charged at this B School are very less in comparison to other B schools.
- Rigor: The MBA Executive Program is quite rigorous with classes 6 days a week. Regular exams, sessionals, projects, and assignments make it a bit frustrating but in the end, they help you in clearing semesters.
- Faculty: The faculty for this program is very experienced and knowledgeable.
- Mixed batch: The diverse profiles of your peers make it a more challenging and thrilling experience. The batch has doctors, engineers, CAs, Armed forces officers, PSU employees, and IT professionals.
- Duration: 2 years
- Degree: An MBA degree from Delhi University is worth it in the end.

What do I do to crack the NIMHANS entrance exam for a post-graduation in neurosurgery?
NIMHANS conducts an online MCQ based entrance test for Mch/DM Neurology and MD Psychiatry. A common exam is held for all these courses, and later on, a separate merit list is published for each. You have to select your course while applying, and can’t change it later on. You can apply for all three courses or one/two of them.
Here is some information on the entrance exam:
- It is a one-hour test with 150 MCQs.
- 1 mark is awarded for each correct answer, and ¼ mark is deducted for each wrong answer.
- 90-100 questions are asked from 19 MBBS subjects. These questions are not related to CNS. With good preparation for other PGMEE, you can answer them.
- Regular one-liner guidebook questions are asked.
- 50-60 MCQs are directly/indirectly related to CNS. For these, read the neuro aspect of all major subjects- Anatomy, Physio, Medicine, Psychiatry, Surgery, Patho, Micro, Pharma, Radio, and Anaesthesia. These questions are solvable given that you prepare well in the last 10-15 days before the exam.
The entrance is overall easy. However, the number of seats is very low, so the margin of error for silly mistakes is very low.
Read all subjects before the last 10 days. Then, focus on the Neurology part in the last 10 days. By following these tips, you’ll successfully crack the NIMHANS entrance test.
Which way is better, to do an MS general surgery and then take up neurosurgery as a superspeciality, or the direct 6yrs (Mch) Neurosurgery course (offered by AIIMS and NIMHANS) after an MBBS?
I’ll be sharing with you my opinion on both.
As a 6-year MCh candidate, you’ll rotate through 10 months of general surgery. However, general surgery skills aren’t of much use in Neurosurgery, except the very basic knot-tying and suturing skills. You can also acquire those from dedicated lab practice. The other techniques followed in Neurosurgery are very different from those followed in general surgery.
Neurosurgeons generally use access surgeons (thoracic surgeons or urologists) to perform unconventional approaches to the spine. It is much safer for the patient. Also, opting for a 6-year course after MBBS means one less entrance exam.
So it isn’t very beneficial for you to take up 3 years of MS general surgery. I would recommend you choose the direct 6 year Mh Neurosurgery course at AIIMS or NIMHANS instead.
Which course is better: B. Commerce Hons or BA Economics Hons from DU?
The answer to this question will rely on your future goals, what you compassionately dream of doing, and what you believe you will truly like. However, Economics Honors from DU is one of the best courses with exceptional scope and value in the corporate world. Everyone is aware that the University of Delhi's most prestigious course is Economics Hons. Rapidly rising cutoffs provide proof of this.
Additionally, compared to other courses, it offers higher placement prospects. Nevertheless, immense power entails great responsibility. It's not the kind of subject you can get by with just one night of studying. It necessitates commitment and diligence. Additionally, it is the most challenging course the university offers. So, BA Economics is the best option for anyone who is keenly interested in the subject.
BA Economics(Hons) is DU's most difficult yet prestigious course. As a result, if you are in the unreserved category, you will need a higher percentage. Try to get a score of 90% or higher to get into DU, and 95% or higher to get into DU's good colleges. In the end, it all comes down to your score.
