As for the percentage to GPA conversion, the following rule applies.

• If candidate’s university has provided GPA corresponding to the percentage on the transcript, or if his/her university prescribes some formula for conversion, then, that will apply. This formula should be mentioned clearly on University website and/or candidate’s transcript.
• Otherwise, the following formula, will apply: GPA = percentage/10 If the GPA of the candidate is not in the scale of 10 but in the scale of K (e.g., 4 or 8), then: GPA = GPAOnScaleK*10/(K) Here, GPAOnScaleK is candidate’s GPA on the scale of K. For GPA, rounding-off will not be done. For example, if a candidate’s GPA is 6.98 and the GPA criterion is 7.00, then, the candidate will not be considered as eligible.

About My journey at BIT, Mesra for pursual of Ph.D.

For PhD, our batch has 5 scholars who choose this course to pursue the highest degree in academics from the renowned institute in CSE. All our faculties are PhD. Holders and a few of them are even Post-Doc. First-year we have course work than annual reviews, presubmission and final defence and viva

If you take full-time mode then a stipend will be given For part-time scholars, no stipend because they are already working somewhere 10% hike every year in fees. Fee structure is a bit high but by seeing the level of organisation and reputation it ok to pay

IIT Goa - Ph.D.

Life in Goa is very much happening and the same goes for campus life. Although, Ph.D. students find very little time after their research for leisure. The events organized at the campus are filled with fun and excitement. My group also went clubbing at night and we enjoyed it a lot. Amenities in the classroom and the infrastructure of the campus are top-notch. Labs are equipped with the latest equipment.

I didn't sit for placements as I wanted to go for the post of Assistant professor here at the institute itself. In 2020, the highest CTC was recorded as Rs. 43 LPA, and a total of 121 companies participated in the placements. 87% of the students got placed in the general placements. Microsoft, Paytm, Reliance Jio, KPMG, L&T, LTTS, ARM, Intel, and VMware were the top recruiters of the placement week.

You should Know about SIT

If we come to sports, throughout the year sports events will conduct. Cricket , volleyball , basketball , badminton, kabbadi and table tennis tournament will be conduct in college. There is a separate clubs for each and every domain.

Faculty members are highly experienced. They always ready to clarify your doubts. I have choosen CSE because to get good job in good company. Althrough every will get jobs in software field only That why i choose CSE

Honest Review

Faculties are highly knowledgeable and with 100% interest, they put lots of effort to make students understand the concept. Each class has about 55 to 60 students. Monthly internal exams are taken thrice a semester and at the end of each semester, an external exam is there. External exam papers and checking are done by VTU University. If we study the prescribed textbook thoroughly they we can score very decent marks in the final exam. Everything marking, paper setting etc is done fairly since it comes under VTU. Under VTU more than 200 colleges come under so you can imagine how reputed VTU university is and so is the final degree provided also have a lot of value outside the college. Therefore I suggest you join the Don Bosco Institute of Technology.

Annually fest is there called as "VISMAY" And other festivals are also celebrated from time to time. Almost every week some of the other workshops are conducted. In the library plenty of books are present. Apart from academics, other books are also present in a quite decent number. Also, the department library is there where all department students can access the books. The classroom has fans and is fully ventilated and the lighted rooms are. Sports competitions and extracurricular activities frequently take place. Don Cisco official website is there. The Alumni group is also there. And various other telegram groups etc are also there.

Nitc Review

Campus life and campus is very beautiful. All the facilities are there needed by a student. There are different clubs are there related to sports culture and other activities. The library has a vast collection of books and journals. Playground swimming pool badminton hall table tennis basketball courts volleyball courts etc are different sports facilities. There are many cultural and technical fests happen like Ragam Tathva etc.

I want to do MTech in Computer Science and Engineering. I want to get placement in big tech companies. The faculty-student ratio was good around 1:4. All the faculties are very well qualified, almost all of them are having doctorates from reputed universities. Exam happens according to the academic calendar and the difficulty level was medium.

A step to bright future .

Internships opportunities.

The college had a good intership opportunity available. Which helps students to get good placements to earn their living. This intership helps students a lot. The company's names are Infosys ltd., Accenture and Microsoft, etc. The companies provide many project and college help students a lot in completing the project and getting a good placement.

The college organise term test every ans month and sometimes also organise mock tests for students's good preparation. The college also had a well managed library with lots of books of every field the student required ,the library help student a lot in enhancing their knowledge. Also college also had a sports field for students fitness .

The life of campus is awesome. Here all the clubs are available. Like dance, music, sport, poetry, robotics, and few cultural clubs. Lot of journals and books are available in digital library but those are access to only college students.

I would like to explore some research which help in real time scenario, so our college focus more on research, especially, machine learning and deep learning, and image processing. The bad aspect of college is that tuition fee is high.

Excellent institute

The curriculum is very flexible. The curriculum is heavily focused on the research just like as any other PhD program. Field work very important in the PhD to collect data and work on a original research problem and add new knowledge in the existing literature. To get your PhD degree, you have to submit an thesis , free of plagiarism and you have to defend it in front of your judging panel.

The college has others extracurricular activities also.. fresher party by seniors then we do celebrates teacher days and others. Convocation ceremony and farewell party for the graduating students also organized by the institute. They are various clubs for students from literacy club to coding clubs, this clubs frequently take part in various national and state level competiton

For Ph.D students, first two semester for their course work. That is every scholar should take four 3 credits course as a course work. After completing course work, Scholars should clear the comprehensive exam and viva where they mainly checking our basics thorough or not. Then we can our research start fully.

Indian Institute of Information Technology Design and Manufacturing is a Institution of national importance. Thus facilities are having good profiles with high exposure from aboard university. Their teaching skill also are very different than from the other engineering colleges.

Supportive and a Positive Environment

The university has a Student's Mall housing Food Court, Stationery & Book Shop, Salon, Dispensary and Branded Outfit Shops. The Campus also has Coffee Shops and kiosks in its spread. The auditorium is regularly used for organizing cultural, technical and academic events and screening of entertainment and educational movies.the University has launched its own community radio – BBD FM at 90.8 MHz to educate, sensitize and share knowledge with students and community. BBD FM at 90.8 MHz through its programs exclusively designed seeks to reach out to the masses of Lucknow and adjoining localities on issues concerning health, education, environment, community development, scientific awareness, cultural and social welfare, civic & social issues etc.

I entered the university through my JEE score. But UPTU marks were also taken into consideration for the admission process. Since it is one of the best private universities in Lucknow, good score was the criteria for the admission to any of the courses that they offered. When I visited the university in Lucknow, the management team assisted me in every way possible. They guided me and answered every query that I and my parents had.

Rimjhim's Review On IIT Patna - Indian Institute Of Technology - [IITP], Patna

Entrance preview.

For PhD, institute conducts a written test and interview. The written test is a lot like GATE but the question solving requires good mathematics and deep understanding.The interview panel will sure make you very afraid and you will forget 80% of the things that you prepared but the interviewers ask in such a manner that they will extract everything that you knew ever in your life.

College Events

The college itself is a complete society. Every festival is celebrated overlooking the religion including saraswati puja and Christmas and no doubt the national festivals. Apart from this several cultural events are also organised which include dance, music, art, sports, etc. National level events are also celebrated such as swacch Bharat Abhiyan.

Life of Research Scholar at IIT(ISM) Dhanbad

Ph.D course curriculam is fully desgined for research programme. As per UGC direction, in first year student have to clear 4 compulsory paper related to research area student opted so far. A Doctoral Scrutiny Committee will check the progress report of student before commencing of each semester. Student stipend/fellowshio will discontinue if progress report is not at per Institute norms.

As the IIT(ISM) Dhanbad itself fall under best institution of India, thus faculty level is also equally very important. Here faculty standard are very strong and always helpful to their students with strict discipline and code of conduct. Faculty Google Scholar report and citation record of their research paper shows the quality/knowledge of faculty.

Chandan Gautam's Review On IIT Indore - Indian Institute Of Technology - [IITI], Indore

Notification releases in every 3 month. Fill the form online and then send the hard copy with 100 rupees DD. Selection process for admission to PhD program in discipline of Computer Science and Engineering consists of a written test followed by an interview. Syllabus of written test loosely follows the latest syllabus of Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) for Computer Science and Information Technology.

The students are supposed to undergo summer internship as a part of their course curriculum. IIT Indore students underwent their summer internships at reputed foreign universities and companies after their third year of graduation. Indore is an industrial area. You will not face any problems for getting internships, as college have good relations with most of the industries. Stipend vary from 15K to 40K.

My beautiful college

Fee structure and facilities.

The mideterm examinations are conducted in the middle of each semester so that students can understand whether they have learned enough or not. It becomes very easy for teachers to assess the progress of the students and according the remedial actions are initiated. The final semester examination is conducted according to a predefined calender of events which is published at the beginning of every academic year. The results are declared earliest possible and the failed students are given with the second opportunity for improvement. As far as these all examinations are concerned, the fee structure is feasible and worth of what we get from the institute.

The MoU with many research organizations and industries in and outside the country are allowing us to apply for the internship. Many of our student friends have completed their internships at IITs and a few are pursuing their research work at foreign universities like UTP Malaysia. The students of SGGS are supported with the stipend according their admissions under the programs such as QIP, TEQIP and Visvesvaraya PhD Scheme etc. The stipend is given as per the norms of funding agency of Govt. of India. Overall, all the students are happy about the research facilties, expert guidance and encouraging research environment and culture of the institute.

IIT BHU, Varanasi

Exam structure.

Exam structure of every semester is that you have to appear for two class test and one final test. The class test is of 20 marks each and final has got weight age of 60 marks. 40 percent is pass mark in total. there is no gaps between two exam. for CT it will end in 3 days and final exam will end in 5 days. So you have hectic schedule during exam. Labs are conducted in second half of day. It may be either everyday or one or two day depending on course and subject. For general subject classes schedule is not very hectic or back to back. Overall It has good schedules.

Campus life is very good. A healthy atmosphere is here. There is no biasness on the basis of religion and cast. there is no gender biasness. Girls and boys ratio is 30:70, which is much higher than any other IITs. So many cultural , technical and sports fest are organized throughout the year. There are many experts talk from industry and academic is held for exposure to students. All events are at grand level in which many outside students participate. Many debate and essay competition are held at institute level.
