Shiksha All Time Q&A

Birla Institute of Technology and Science conducts BITSAT to admit students in various undergraduate courses. BITSAT is a computer based entrance test so you can see your marks immediately after the final submission of the answers. You need to score high because BITs Pilani does not entertain any kind of reservation. Cut-off of BITSAT generally go higher. Frankly speaking, BITSAT cannot be cracked in just one month without any prior knowledge. So if you have prepared for JEE or any other reputed entrance test then there might be a chance.
For the best results, you should follow these points:
1.Stick with basics because BITSAT checks your concept.
2.Prefer NCERT book for chemistry.You may prefer the modern approach to chemical calculations by RC Mukherjee for physical chemistry.
3.Solve HC Verma both volume (Only important topics).
4 Practice mock papers daily. If possible then you can join an online test series. This may help you to sit in front of a computer continuously for three hours.
5.Mugg up all the mathematical formulas and reactions as quickly as possible.
6.Never lose hope.
I hope it will help you.

Here are some criteria you should consider while shortlisting a job offer -
1. Position/Job title - It is really important because this job title will decide your job opportunities in the future when you want to shift to other company.
2. CTC - Of course it is important. You have many expenses and a family to take care of. So you need a good package.
3. Earnings per hour - Two companies may be offering the same package but in the 1st company you have to work for 8 hours daily and in 2nd company, you have to work 12 hours daily. So, of course, you should choose 1st one as it gives more earnings per hour.
4. Opportunities to learn and grow - You should select a job where you will constantly learn and grow and not where you would be doing some menial repetitive work every day.
5. Workplace environment - You will spend a large part of your day in your office so make sure the time will be cheerful.
6. Work-life balance - You shouldn't go insane while working 12-14 hours a day. You should have proper holidays and a bit free time for yourself every week.

The answer is generally a big 'NO'.
The placement data of most of the colleges is totally wrong. You can trust only the data given by reputed institutions like IITs, NITs or other CFTIs.
Even while viewing these reports, you should be careful.
Most of the local colleges twist and turn the placement data or give insufficient information to judge their placements or maybe some might give false information.
But while comparing reputed institutes you can use it as one of the criteria.
Mainly, see if the institutions are well reputed, check with reliable sources. If possible, talk with students currently studying there cause they know the best about the institution.
And you should consider many factors while taking admission other than placements.
So do proper research, read reviews on reliable sites and try to get as much as information as possible.
So make a proper choice while considering all the factors.
All the best!

This is a dilemma many students face while selecting a college.
So let's take a look at the available options.
To be honest, I would say go for top private universities over lower-ranking NITs. But how low the rank can be.
I would suggest NITs as around 5th or 6th rank can be considered safe over the private universities.
But below this rank give preference to private universities.
Consider one more practical options. I would suggest after top 5 NITs, go for top government colleges in your state. This college would generally be better than private universities.
For example, in Maharashtra, you can go for College of Engineering, Pune or VJTI over private universities like VIT, SASTRA.
On a different note, I don't see BITS as some random private university, go for BITS-Pilani if you are not getting top 3 NITs (you can take BITS even if you are getting top NITs just saying).
So, consider your options properly before making a decision.

Since 3 months is a long time. It is enough to go through each and every topic mentioned in the IPUCET curriculum. I would recommend you to join a crash course program from some of the good and reputed coaching centre close to your home (as I would not want you to waste your time in going from home to classes and vice versa).
Now, you should consider solving this book:
GGSIPU Engineering Entrance Exam 2017 solved papers: 2016-2004.
https://www.amazon.in/dp/9386179040/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_tVLVzbXS32R5AI would also recommend you to go for some of the best books in each subject: S. L. Arora for physics, NCERT for chemistry, R. D. Sharma competitive level for maths, but go for these only if you have enough time left with you after you are done with Arihant.
Lastly, you need to keep a positive frame of mind during the last few days and should start solving mock test papers to gain confidence and to get an idea of how you should manage time during the examination.
I hope you do well.
Cheers.

Hello,
Indian Engineering Services Exam is conducted by UPSC and follows the same pattern that UPSC follows for civil services exam. Of course, as the name suggests one should be a graduate in engineering in certain branches or M.Sc in some cases. Also, the candidate should be less than 30 years of age which is relaxable in certain cases., but I will not bore you with all this mundane information since it is available in detail on the website of UPSC in downloadable PDF form.Let us turn to the main issue of preparation for the exam. It is considered as one of the toughest exams of UPSC. If successful, one gets the opportunity to join GoI service with possibility to rise to the level of Secretary in the GoI.
The fundamentals remain same. One must be clear in concepts. One must be clear in the English language. One must be adept in personal interviews. The syllabus is quite vast but then one has passed engineering and questions are from that branch only. So, those who have studied well will find it very easy. English and general knowledge can be brushed up. I would advise aspirants to join a good coaching class since these classes prepare you with tricks of answering which is quite valuable. Also, they will conduct mock exams and mock interviews that are a must.
To conclude, I will say that for an engineer, it is not tough but the nuances need to be studied and assimilated.

Hello Students,
LEET or Lateral Entry Entrance Exam. This is an exam that is conducted by some states only for Diploma holders to directly join the 2nd year of engineering course.
Here, I want to bring out an interesting fact that most of the states do not allow students of other states to take lateral entry directly into the 2nd year of engineering course. As this is the case, many states even do not conduct any exam since exams of Diploma are conducted by the same agency as the one coordinating lateral admissions and hence admissions are based on marks obtained in this exam.
With many private colleges failing to get enough students in the first year, they have opened their doors for lateral entry. However, Govt. colleges do have a quota for such type of admissions. It is announced every year at the time of admission and is not known beforehand.
Yes, this is a great motivator for many students who have opted for Diploma after class 10th and are desirous of getting a degree in engineering. Lateral entry avoids any wastage of years. The competition is invariably tough and only the best candidates get selected.
To conclude, I will say that it is an exam that is not universal across India, it is restricted to the state only and many states even do not conduct this kind of exam.

Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology is one of the most prestigious and best government colleges in India which ranks first in India and comes in top 200 colleges of the world.
There is no such course (computer science) offered in Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology but there is a course named computer science automation.
It is the college which has computer science automation department ranked 50 to 75 in the whole world and is one of the best computer science automation departments in Asia.
If you want to learn machine learning in India then it is the great place for you as half of the department works on machine learning.
It is the course that provides one of the highest average packages in India.
There are many major IT companies that come for the placement of computer science automation students in Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology like Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Intel, Facebook and many foreign IT companies.
The average package for computer science automation student from Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology is about 12 to 24 LPA.
The average package changes every year.
The highest package is about 1 crore per annum.
Hope it helps.
