Which is the best option, Mathematics and Computing at IIT Guwahati, CSE at IIIT Hyderabad, or CSE at BITS Pilani?
- According to me, BITS Pilani is the best option for those who want to pursue CSE. The curriculum has been designed in a way that will help the students to get thorough knowledge of the domain. The curriculum has an equal focus on theoretical and practical subjects.
- However, you need to be prepared to learn many courses per semester. You will be truly busy during the four years of this course with too many assignments, lab tests, quizzes, etc.
- You will need adequate practice and hard work to ace the tests. However, at BITS Pilani we believe in smart work instead of hard work.
- The total fee for this 4-year CSE course is around INR 22 lakhs including the hostel fees. The median salary for 2023 stood at INR 18.20 LPA. The top recruiters include Adobe, Accenture, Apple, Cipla, Bajaj Finserv, Cognizant and many more.
Which is the better engineering college: WBJEE or COMEDK?
COMEDK will be a better option. There are only 2-3 colleges under WBJEE that are considered good if your rank is between 1 to 3000.
Almost all of the institutes under COMEDK are above average. They can even surpass Jadavpur University, for that matter. The institutes under WBJEE and COMEDK are as follows:
| Institutes under WBJEE | Institutes under COMEDK |
| Jadavpur University | RV College of Engineering |
| University of Calcutta | BMS College of Engineering |
| IEM Kolkata | M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology |
| Kalyani Government Engineering College | Bangalore Institute of Technology |
| Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College | Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering |
Sadly, there are no government colleges under COMEDK. Most of the best institutes are either under WBJEE or the University of Calcutta.
Where is branch upgradation from EE to CS easier, IIT Mandi or IIT Jodhpur?
Branch change from EE to CSE is easiest at IIT Jodhpur. Here, students who have scored a 9+ CGPA can change their branch as there are no additional criteria. If you are talking about an easier branch change from EE to CSE, it would definitely be IIT Jodhpur, as here there is a rule that if you score a CGPA of 9+ then you can change your branch to any branch of your choice.
When my friend was a student at IIT Mandi a few years ago, she told me that 10 students from the EE branch changed their branch to CSE and a total of about 18 students from other branches changed their branch to CSE, and about 10 students from different branches to EE. Surprisingly enough, the last student to change his branch to CSE had a CGPA of 8.67.
Thus, branch upgradation is easier at IIT Jodhpur than at IIT Mandi.
How many students repeat fail in IIM Calcutta every year?
It can range from 5 to 15 in a batch of 460, depending on one's grades. In the first year, grades are averaged across 18-20 subjects. As a result, there are numerous opportunities to balance one's performance and maintain the minimum required CGPA. In comparison to other IIMs, an average guy can easily handle academic pressure at C. Despite the fact that you can see that over 95% of the batch has left. However, for some, it is too much to bear. Because it is a CGPA system, your grades are relative. Consequently, you must take care to avoid becoming one of the bottom 2-3%.
There is a system in place for extra classes taught by seniors for difficult subjects, but it all comes down to your level of preparation and how much effort you are willing to put in.

What is the average number of times most IIM (A,B, C, Lucknow, Kozhikode) students have taken their CAT exam before getting selected?
CAT exam is a highly competitive exam that is taken by thousands of students every year, and it is widely known that only a small percentage of students are able to crack it and secure a seat in the IIMs.
Based on conversations with current and former IIM students, it is believed that most students who get selected into the IIMs have taken the CAT exam multiple times. Some students take the exam 2-3 times, while others take it 4-5 times or more before they are able to secure a high enough percentile to get selected.
It's important to note that the CAT exam is just one part of the selection process for the IIMs, and candidates are also evaluated based on their academic performance, work experience, extracurricular activities, and performance in the group discussion and personal interview rounds. Therefore, even if a candidate has taken the CAT exam multiple times, they still need to perform well in the other parts of the selection process to secure a seat in the IIMs.
While there is no fixed number of attempts that most IIM students take before getting selected, it is clear that perseverance, hard work, and dedication are key traits that are required to succeed in the highly competitive world of management education in India.

Does a year gap post 4 years of work experience affect the chances to get into ISB Hyderabad drastically?
The Indian School of Business (ISB) Hyderabad evaluates each application based on merit, rather than adhering to a strict minimum or maximum criteria for years of work experience. Freshers may apply through the Young Leaders Program (YLP) or the early admission option. A break in one's career, as long as it can be justified, is acceptable. The quality of work experience, rather than the number of years, is what counts.
Instead of worrying about any career gaps, focus on highlighting the relevant aspects of your profile. If the admissions team finds your application compelling, they may inquire about career gaps, but only after they have been initially impressed with your application.
