How is the industrial power and automation for an M.Tech at NIT Calicut?
NIT Calicut Industrial Power and Automation branch is a perfect mix of Electrical Engineering and Instrumentation/Automation. It comprises important elements of both fields and is a great choice for students interested in the field.
- However, if your primary goal is to get placed , then you have come to the wrong place. Most companies visit NIT Calicut to recruit BTech students and they are given preference to MTech students. A few exceptional cases get placed in huge firms though.
- The faculty pool is very small and the most highly regarded professor of the branch is Dr Ashok S.
- The branch has excellent lab facilities and is therefore a great choice for research enthusiasts. The IPA labs are highly advanced labs with modern equipment. The labs have PLC, SCADA, DCS, VFD, BLDC setup, and DSP setups too.
Overall the IPA course at NIT Calicut is a great choice if you are interested in the field and want to pursue a career in research.
What are the tips for department change in IIT Delhi?
One of my friends could get into Civil Engineering due to her rank but chose to stay because of being close to her hometown. She started preparing for a department change and after working relentlessly for a year, she was able to get a chemical dual degree. This initially seemed impossible because of the geniuses she was surrounded with.
The first semester was a nightmare as she scored only a 7.6 CGPA because of her poor performance in Applied Mechanics and Engineering Drawing. However, with a bigger picture in mind, she started working harder and by the end of the second semester, she was able to score an 8.48 SGPA.
When asked for tips, she said she completely was relying on her luck but kept working to the fullest. She left no classes unattended and was the first one to submit assignments.
Ultimately, you need to work hard, trust the process and wait for the results patiently.
How will Maharaja Surajmal Institute be in the coming 4 years?
I have a friend who is an alumnus of MSIT and here’s what he had to say about this.
Faculty: There is a significant decline in terms of management and teaching. The faculty members are mostly doctorate students and they are pursuing their studies as well as teaching, so it is fair to say that they teach you with no sense of belonging.
Infrastructure: Most of the campuses are growing old and there is hardly any maintenance done. They started upgrading a few years back but the development is very slow. Labs are not equipped with the necessary equipment.
Placements: MSIT has a good placement record. There is every likelihood that the prospects for placement may dry in the future years, as the quality of education stays stagnant. The average CTC offered has remained the same since 2004. Here are the recent placement highlights.
|
Average CTC |
3.6 LPA |
|
Highest CTC |
47 LPA |
So, according to my friend, unless some drastic change happens, it is less likely that things at MSIT will improve in near future.

What is the dress code at IIST, BITS and NIT-Trichy?
There is no dress code in BITS. One of my friends is from the Goa campus but I am pretty sure that things are the same across all three campuses. You can wear shorts and a t-shirt to the class.
In NIT Trichy, this depends on the professor whose class you're attending and depends on which year you are in. According to the classification –
- In your 1st year, almost all professors will try to make you wear formals at the beginning of the year.
- Slowly it'll reduce and they will only ask you to wear formal shirts at the very least.
- Most of the teachers do not mind T-shirts but some of them are really against it.
- In your 2nd, 3rd and final year you can just show up wearing casual pants and some shirts and T-shirts.
In IIST, you can wear whatever you want but it should be within the limits of decency as seen by the current society. So there are no strict rules regarding the dress codes.
How can I get a strong hold of english for ipm-iim indore?
The section of verbal ability in the IPM-IIM Examination has a total of 40 questions that are one mark each. The sectional time given to attempt this section of the examination is 45 minutes. The topics that are usually repeated every year in this section of the examination include:

Which is the better choice for a CSE, ISM Dhanbad, IIT Bhubaneswar or IIT Gandhinagar?
The aforementioned IITs have witnessed exponential growth over the past few years and are good options for engineering. You will have to consider your personal preferences to make the right decision. All the IITs mentioned have progressed well. You need to look over various factors while making a choice. Also, I will like to add IIT Patna and IIT Ropar as they also have been doing quite well.
- On the basis of the cutoff, IIT Gandhinagar is the winner after which comes IIT Ropar.
- All the new IITs except IIT Ropar have managed to shift to their newly constructed permanent campus out of which IIT Gandhinagar seems to have the most beautiful campus.
- IIT Gandhinagar CSE has been established not very long ago and lacks the credibility yet. However, since IIT Gandhinagar functions under IIT Bombay, it will soon give promising results with a rich coding culture.
- Sparing IIT Gandhinagar, the CSE placements of all new IITs is visibly good.
- ISM is a new IIT but an old institute and thus has better cultural clubs and events than the newly established IITs.
In my opinion, IIT Gandhinagar should be your first choice among the new IITs followed by IIT Patna.
How is materials engineering at IIT Delhi?
Some key points pertaining to the newly launched branch, Materials Engineering at IIT Delhi are
