Is it good to join PGPM FLEX program offered by Great Lakes Chennai for a person who is 2 year experienced in financial institution?

RS
Rahul Sinha Posted On : July 11th, 2023
Studied at Great Lakes Institute of Management (India)

The Great Lakes PGPM program claims to help you in switching jobs or functions by enhancing your knowledge base and managerial skills. But the truth is far from this. I know a friend who is an IT engineer with 8 years of work experience who completed the PGPM flex program to switch from the tech stream to the management stream but failed to do so. The result might be different for you though. So the subjectivity can best be clarified through the following pros and cons

Pros:-

  • PGPM Flex has a diverse curriculum comprising a wide range of subjects taught by professionals who are experts in their respective fields.
  • You will get a taste of the regular courses because of their similar pedagogy and curriculum.
  • Your peer pool will be a mixed bag from all over the country so the learning experience is unique.

Cons:-

  • The degree is invaluable in most organizations.
  • Does not affect your future prospects to a great extent.
  • The degree is not recognized by WES.

Overall, the degree adds little value to your profile though the effect may vary from person to person.

What is a waitlist commitment amount? Does IIM Trichy have this?

PS
Piyush Sharma Posted On : January 13th, 2023
Studied at Management Development Institute, Gurgaon

The simple definition of waitlist movement amount is the money some colleges accept from students to include them on the waitlist. The reason for charging extra fees is to ensure that students are opting to stay on the waitlist not just in case but because they want to seriously join the college. However, later on, if you fail to get a seat, the amount is refunded and in case you get a seat, this amount is adjusted against the total fees. Paying this amount basically means that one is serious about his admission. IIM Trichy is one of the IIMs that has this facility.

Where is the question paper for the FTII entrance exam for cinematography available?

SS
Samriddhi Sarkar Posted On : January 14th, 2021
PGD in Movie Directing & Sound Design, Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) (2019)

Both the FTII Cinematography answer sheet and question paper are the same; thereby, no question paper can be carried outside the examination hall. Every year the film institute makes a different committee for question paper preparation.

Generally, the questions are based on the following topics:

  • World of cinema, including history, art, culture.
  • Various Art movements, aesthetics.
  • Movie composition.
  • Colour science.
  • Basic physics. 

Thus, you must watch movies of renowned directors like Satyajit Ray, Ritwaik Ghatak, Akira Kurosawa, Ingmar Bergman and Martin Scorcese to make a sense regarding the concept of cinematography. 

In the following one important recommendation is given, which will be essential for the preparation of cinematography:

  • The candidate should view and follow the works and style of top 10 cinematographers from the national and international films respectively.

The important thing is that the exam pattern of FTII does not allow entering in the examination hall with complete preparation, and the examination committee gives a start to the students to test their passions only. Thus, it can be stated that the student should need proper contextualisation to appear and to pass the FTII entrance test.

How is the answer paper checking in CSVTU?

DS
Dheeraj Sinha, Posted On : October 25th, 2021
B.E Mechatronics, Chhattisgarh Swami Vivekanand Technical University (2016)

One of my friends studied at CSVTU. According to him, there are various kinds of people who check answer sheets. 

It might be a new M.Tech graduate student. An experienced professor, who could have 20–30 years of experience in education. So, definitely, you can predict the difference in marks for the same answer sheet. And, that is the reason why similar answer sheets of students get good marks while others don’t.

  • Sometimes passing the exam depends on the subject, your preparation, etc.
  • Theory questions are easy to get good marks, just keep your answers and diagrams neat. These papers are mostly given to experienced faculty members for checking.
  • The faculties sometimes get less time to check your answer in regular exams. This is due to the abundance of answer sheets, but not enough compensation. 

This is different in this case. In backlog exams, they get time to read your answers properly because of less number of sheets to check. That sometimes is checked strictly. Thus checking papers could sometimes be done lightly or sometimes harshly.

How and why is IIIT Vadodara better than VIT Vellore?

A
Admin Posted On : May 15th, 2024

The IITs, NITs and IIITs have a certain brand name attached to them which makes students feel that other engineering colleges might be inferior to them. However, this may not always be the case. 

VIT Vellore is a reputed private institution, and it is better than IIIT Vadodara in many aspects-

  • VIT Vellore offers a greater variety of courses to choose from as compared to IIIT Vadodara.
  • Infact, VIT offers specialization courses in various engineering branches.
  • VIT Vellore was established much prior to IIIT Vadodara, which is why it has a much stronger industry reputation and alumni network.
  • VIT Vellore is ranked 11th in the NIRF Engineering 2023 rankings, while IIIT Vadodara does not make it into the top 100 list.
  • VIT has a rich extracurricular culture. The campus regularly organizes sports events, makeathons, hackathons, designing events, cultural events etc.
  • Some of the VIT faculty members are ex-IITians.
  • VIT is a private institution and has top class infrastructure facilities.

These are some reasons why I feel VIT Vellore is much better than IIIT Vadodara. Both the colleges will offer you good learning, but the exposure and opportunities provided by VIT Vellore are unparalleled.
