Every college is good in one or the other aspects. Its location, faculty, and infrastructure are the main factors that determine a college's priority. The following list contains the colleges in order of priority based on their pros and cons.

Pros:

  • BHU: No requirement to sign a bond

  • Seth GS: Located in Mumbai with the best academic structure 

  • KGMU Lucknow: The location and academic structure are perfect.

  • Other AIIMS: No need to sign any bond and the fee structure is affordable. AIIMS tag can help you with USMLE purposes.

Cons:

  • BHU: Located in Varanasi, it lacks the facilities of metropolitan cities like Delhi and Mumbai

  • Seth GS: Mumbai is expensive and a bond of 1 year needs to be signed

  • CMC Vellore: You will have to learn Tamil as it is located South India. The fee structure is pretty expensive.

  • Other AIIMS: They are usually not located in a good location except for Bhopal and Bhubaneswar.

The preferred order as per the pros and cons can be - BHU> AIIMS> KGMU> Grant> Seth GS> CMC Vellore

One college can be good for you but bad for others. This is because your own needs determine which college is best for you. So choose wisely.

Studied at Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya, Bhopal (2016)

RGPV University is a very reputed university and this university gives chancellor's awards to the best students of this university. 

  • Chancellor's award is a reward for students which is given to the top students of the university for their excellent performance in academics throughout their graduation. 
  • The students receive a cheque of Rs. 20000 from the governor of Madhya Pradesh along with a certificate. 
  • This award is a matter of pride for all the students who worked very hard to receive such respect and recognition from the university. 

Here are some of the steps which the students must do to receive this award.

  • The students will have to secure very good marks in the theory exams of every odd semester of disciplines such as engineering, pharma, and other branches which are covered under the aegis of RGPV. 
  • There should be no semester backs or year backs in your entire academic career in this university. 
  • There should be no case of rechecking of your answer sheets during your graduation period at this university. 
  • Your practical marks have nothing to do with this scholarship and a student is only awarded this scholarship based on the theory marks and the performance of the student throughout their graduation.

Hence, these are some of the steps which you should begin to follow from day one of your graduation to be eligible for this award and make yourself and your university proud.

Which among IIIT jabalpur CSE, NIT Jamshedpur ECE, Kurukshetra ECE, NIT Raipur CSE, NIT Hamirpur ECE, NIT Jalandhar CSE colleges is best ?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 4th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

The choice of the branch is more important than choosing the institute because it determines and shapes your career. If you are interested in working in a PSU or have an interest in Electronics, choose ECE but if you have no such inclinations choose CS, the most diverse field. There are two main differences between IIITs and NITs

  • IIITs are relatively new and may not have a very extensive alumni network while NITs are aged old and have an elaborate network.
  • NITs provide diverse specialization in various fields while IIITs only focus on Computer Science education. 

Based on the placement scenario and the academics, here is the preference order I would suggest you follow while making your choice

NIT Jalandhar CSE>IIIT Jabalpur CSE>NIT Raipur CSE>NIT Kurukshetra ECE>NIT Hamirpur ECE> NIT Jamshedpur ECE

It's important to note that this preference order is not based on any official data and is based on my own opinion only.

Can I get into IIM Kozhikode with 99.5 percentile and 7.33 CGPA?

AL
Amit Lad Posted On : November 11th, 2022
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode

Your percentile is not the only deciding factor for IIM Kozhikode admissions. I have seen instances where people with 99.78 percentile couldn’t make it while people with lower percentile and CGPA made it into IIM Kozhikode.

This is because IIM Kozhikode prefers a balanced score in each section and a good overall score. It even considers your 10 and 12 marks. They also pick students from versatile backgrounds.

Low CGPA is not an issue for admission into IIM Kozhikode. Your overall score should be appealing enough to get you in.

I am an MD Dermatology Junior Resident at JIPMER. I can give you some details about my college.

This is the schedule for MD Dermatology students at JIPMER.

Considering that my profile is: 10th- 89.2 12th- 74.2 Grad. (Engg)- 8.5 PG- 8.0, which one is better: the NMIMS Mumbai, the IIM Rohtak, the IIM Raipur, the IIM Ranchi, the IIM Trichy, the IIM Udaipur

AS
Aditya Shekhar Posted On : January 5th, 2023

The aspects of judging a college’s worth depend on the following factors

  • legacy
  • alumni experience 
  • perception among peers
  • quality of students
  • faculty
  • institute culture
  • events and activities
  • pedagogy 
  • Summer and final placement opportunities

NMIMS renders you short-term advantages but IIMs offer many long term advantages. Even the faculty is better at IIMs than at NMIMS. But being a new institute, it lacks an alumni base. Any far-sighted person can definitely say that your IIM tag will help you in the long run.

Now based on your list, the order is

IIM Udaipur>IIM Ranchi>IIM Trichy>IIM Rohtak> IIM Raipur>IIM Kashipur

I got 82% in 10th and 70% in 12th. Can I get an admission in IIM-Calcutta?

MJ
Mira Jadhav Posted On : April 15th, 2026

Admission chances depend on entrance exam scores, category reservation, state quota, and annual competition levels.

Assessment factors:

  • Previous Cutoff Trends: Analyze last 3 years' data for your category and branch.
  • Category Reservation: Cutoffs vary significantly across General, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS.
  • State Quota Benefits: Home state candidates often have 10-20 percentile lower cutoffs.
  • Branch Popularity: CSE and ECE have higher cutoffs than mechanical or civil.
  • Counseling Rounds: Later rounds may see reduced cutoffs—participate in all rounds.

Use official predictors and last year's cutoff data. Prepare backup options across different rounds and colleges.

What is the eligible criteria for the AFCAT exam?

SD
Shivesh Dubey Posted On : February 15th, 2021
Studied BSc from Khalsa College

My brother took the Air Force Common Admission Test, popularly known as AFCAT. It is a tough exam to crack, but the good news is, that it's held twice a year. My brother cracked it in the second attempt and became a part of the Flying Branch. There are two other branches in addition to that: Technical Branch and the Non-Technical Branch with groundwork. 

To qualify for this year's AFCAT 2021 exam, you need to know the following:

Educational Qualification: 

  • To get into the flying branch, you'd need 60% or above in Physics and Maths in 12th; you should pass the BE/BTech level exam and get 60% or above marks in Section A and Section B tests by the Aeronautical Society of India or Associate Membership of Institution of Engineers (India). 
  • For non-technical work, you'd need clear gradation with 60% marks in any field and consecutively qualify the ASI or AMIE exams with 60% as well.

Nationality: Apparently, you can apply only if you're an Indian citizen.

Marital Status: 

  • This is an important one because either unmarried candidates below the age of 25 or married candidates above the age of 25 are eligible for application, even during the commencement of the course, they must remain so. 
  • If you're divorced or a widow, you'll be out of the race.

Mental and Physical Fitness: 

  • To join IAF you must be 162.5 cm. For the non-technical branch, male candidates should be at least 157.5 cm tall, and female candidates should be at least 152 cm tall. 
  • If you're from the North East, then a 5cm relaxation will be provided. 
  • The weight will have to be in proportion to your height and mental wellness is an important aspect of the scrutiny as well.

Age Limit: 

  • It depends on the branch and method of entry, the flying branch takes in students between the ages of 20-25. 
  • Candidates with a commercial license issued by the DGCA are given a relaxation. For non-technical posts candidates should be between 20-26. 
  • The upper age limit for flying branch aspirants is 26 years, there is no age relaxation for those interested in non-technical posts.

You won't be allowed to stay with your family during the training period, so keep that in mind. You must keep a check on the notifications which might vary from year to year, also the Testbook is a place for mock tests and resources. So you could use it for studying.
