Who are some of the best faculty in Thapar University?

AS
Anil Singh Posted On : February 20th, 2024
Studied at Thapar University

I am an alumnus of Thapar University. Back when I was a student, Dr. V.P. Aggarwal was one of the best teachers at Thapar.

Back in 2014, sir used to teach us KOM (Kinematics of Machines - UME 302). I would usually arrive late for all my lectures, and sit for them with almost no interest. But one of sir’s classes truly inspired me and changed my perspective on life. 

Our ESTs were nearing, and so those days very few students attended classes. Sir was teaching us a topic and at the end, he asked us for our doubts. All of us were sitting in a disinterested manner, almost as if forced to attend the lectures. This was when sir told us that he had come back to the university at 4 in the morning, straight from Jabalpur. 

He had come back specifically for our class. When we asked him why he took so much pain for a single class, he replied that it was duty to teach his students. He said he would have felt restless with the thought that maybe some student had a query that day which couldn’t be solved because of his absence.

He told us that for him duty was above everything else. He wanted all his students to work hard and stay motivated. That day changed my perspective on life, and made me realize the importance of hardwork.

This is why, for me, sir is one of the best teachers whom I studied under at Thapar University.

How good is IGNOU for MA courses?

PT
Pranjal Tiwari Posted On : October 20th, 2022
Studied at Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

It is guaranteed that the study material provided by IGNOU is excellent. You'll have a great time going through them. It will undoubtedly provide you with a thorough understanding of the subject. However, it is not without difficulty. You get to work hard. If you want to study Economics via distance education, IGNOU is your best bet. 

However, pursuing it at a regular university in a face-to-face mode may be preferable because teachers can assist you with your difficulties. However, if you are already employed, MA in Economics from IGNOU is an excellent choice.

What is meant by evening colleges of DU?

JT
Jayant Thakur Posted On : October 10th, 2022
Student at University of Delhi

Classes at the evening college start in the afternoon and end in the evening.

The curriculum, degree, classes, principal (in most cases), canteen, and location are all the same for the morning and evening batches.

However, the cutoffs differ; evening colleges have a lower cutoff than morning colleges. It has a different faculty and administration and is less crowded than the morning classes.

It differs from one college to the next. Some evening colleges are excellent, while others are on par with government schools. Teachers are present, but students don't actually care, and vice versa.

So, students with lower percentages in their XII standard are more likely to be admitted to evening colleges.

If you want to attend evening college, you don't have to feel inferior to morning students because many students from evening colleges have topped the DU exam.

Ultimately, it is up to you to consider and make decisions wisely. Many students attend evening colleges and then go to coaching to prepare for exams such as UPSC and SSC in the morning.

Who is the most friendly professor in IIT Madras? Why?

RS
Rishabh Singh Posted On : February 3rd, 2024
Lives in banglore

My brother is an alumnus of IIT Madras. During his time, Professor Kamakoti was one of the friendliest professors at IITM. 

Whenever sir caught someone sleeping in the class or coming late for the lecture, he would simply crack a joke and lighten everyone’s mood. He was an absolute master of his subject. The only thing which frustrated him was the lack of interest among students towards lab coursework. 

My brother is not sure if sir still teaches at IITM, but he always fondly remembers sir.

Who is the best professor at NIT Trichy?

RB
Rishabh Bahl Posted On : February 12th, 2024
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India (2020)

I feel Dr. Raghavan from the ECE department deserves to be in the list of best professors at NIT Trichy. His teaching, question paper setting, and grading are on par with global standards. 

Sir emphasizes on course projects, something unique to his teaching. He focuses on the big picture, instead of petty details. He never tests derivations straight off a book. His exams aren’t lengthy, rather they require logical thinking. He conducts pseudo open book exams. His methods especially stand out because usually question papers are unnecessarily lengthy, classroom lectures are simply textual recitations, and exam problems are straight out of textbook. Sir has an exceptional knowledge of his field, and his lectures are a delight for learners. 

The best part is that sir always ends his lectures 5 minutes early.

Who are the best professors at BIT Mesra? Why?

VS
Vishal Sharma Posted On : April 23rd, 2021
B. E. in Mechanical Engineering, Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Graduated 2019

A relative of mine used to be a student of BIT Mesra. She and a number of her peers have chosen Mr. Anup Kumar Keshri to be the best professor at BIT Mesra.

  • Professor Keshri himself is an alumnus of BIT Mesra and he was a student of the Computer Science Branch. Despite being in the CS Department, Professor Keshri was impressed by Professor P.K. Choudhary who did not belong in the department. His teaching abilities caught the eyes of Professor Keshri.
  • Professor P.K. Choudhary belonged to the Mechanical Department. He taught engineering drawing. 
  • Even though Prof. Keshri was not a student of Mechanical Engineering, he did a paper on Professor Choudhary’s subject in 1996. 
  • In addition to that, in spite of not being a student, Professor Keshri is sure that after some revision, he would be able to take classes in Mechanical Engineering.

He is thankful to Professor Choudhary for teaching him the ‘Language of Engineers’, on which Professor Keshri did the paper in 1996. He did not have to refer to any textbook for preparing himself for the paper. He wishes to be a teacher like Professor Choudhary.

How is it to have V. Balakrishnan (IIT Madras) as a teacher?

SK
Sanjana Kapoor Posted On : February 3rd, 2024
Lives in New Delhi

My brother is an alumnus of IIT Madras. According to him, it was a brilliant experience to have V.Balakrishnan sir as a teacher. 

The experience of watching sir’s lectures is the same as watching Cosmos or listening to Feynman’s lectures. He has an amazingly strong grasp on his subject. A lot of times, teachers don’t bother to teach some of the most important derivations. Instead, they put the entire burden on the students to figure out those derivations. 

Sir on the other hand, teaches his students every detail of a concept/calculation. He approaches every single problem from different angles, and each one of those angles opens a new perspective. Sir was the reason my brother decided to switch from Electrical Engineering to Applied Physics. 

V.Balakrishnan sir is a source of inspiration to many students.

How is IMI New Delhi? In terms of placements, infrastructure, faculty etc.

SS
Stuti Sonthalia Posted On : March 3rd, 2023
PGDM Big Data Analytics, Goa Institute of Management (2021)

The following answer is based on my brother's experience in IMI New Delhi from where he completed his graduation last year. He mentioned the various aspects of the Institute like placements, infrastructure, and faculty. I have summarized his viewpoint under the following headings

  • Infrastructure: The infrastructure was strictly average and nothing more than that. However, being located in the heart of the city it was easy to access various sports complexes. A basketball and a volleyball court are also available.
  • Faculty: Being taught under such experienced professors is one of the best parts of being an IMI Delhi student. These professors are highly experienced and have a history of extensive research.
  • Crowd: The crowd is a talented pool of students, some even with 99 percentiles. The students ranked well in terms of other aspects also like work experience and overall profile.
  • Placements: Addressing the most sensitive issue, the placements are surely decent enough to get you good company. Many big brands visit the campus and good profiles are offered. You need to fill out the EOI and sit for the company you desire to join. With a legacy of more than 30 years, IMI New Delhi attracts big names to its campus. However, make sure you depend more on your own performance than the institute to guarantee a good placement package.

Overall my brother was very satisfied with the results of the placements and claimed his hard work did really pay off in the end.
