Shiksha All Time Q&A

Bharath University is a good university for technical education in South India.
This University is ranked 35th in MHRD ranking among all Indian engineering college. This college has 4 campuses but mainly in Chennai with a good campus life and total facilities for their students.
Aeronautical engineering is the study about the design and systems of an aircraft. There is a lot of scope for aeronautical engineering branch in government sectors and departments.Through this course, students also get a chance to study in NASA.
Placement is average in this university. The placement ratio is around 50 to 60%. The average package is around 5 Lakhs per annum.
But in future, the placements in aeronautical engineering will increase with good packages as this field is developing much in our country.
Companies like TATA Motors, Tech Mahindra, Reliance Industries and L&T are the bulk recruiters. Other than these companies , many companies like ITC, Zydus, Torrent , Sun pharma, Apollo, Ultratech etc takes students from here.

Production engineering is a combination of manufacturing technology, engineering sciences with management science. A production engineer typically has a wide knowledge of engineering practices and is aware of the management challenges related to production. The goal is to accomplish the production process in the smoothest, most-judicious and most-economic way.
Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings. Civil engineering is traditionally broken into a number of sub-disciplines.
Production has a bit better scope than civil as of now. The placements and jobs are better than civil and there are many areas of interest that one can pursue after production engineering.
On the other hand the condition of civil engineers is not so good.
The core jobs are very less in numbers. Civil Department has much lower placements as compared to other branches in almost all colleges, many students from civil opt for IT roles due to lack of Core jobs. So what is the use of studying civil engineering for 4 years?
Even the premier institutes like IITs and NITs are facing same problem with civil.
Production beats civil by one or two points max.
Choose whichever you are passionate about.

Before talking about the placements, let us know a bit about the branch as it is not a popular choice in engineering. Established in 2001, the relatively new Department of Biological Sciences and Bioengineering (BSBE) strives to implement a multidisciplinary research and teaching program in modern biology and bioengineering. The department allows undergraduate (B.Tech) and postgraduate programs (M.Tech and Ph.D.). The branch is new whereas there are branches which are about 100 years old. But we are going into future not past. It is a thriving choice for engineering. It is just growing. The pay scale is not at par with other core jobs but it is satisfactory. There are other things other than money. 71% students get placed every year, making an average of 5 LPA package in core bio-engineering jobs. There are always other options for the participant. Gilead Sciences, Inc. (GILD), Amgen (AMGN), Celgene Corporation (CELG) and other pharmaceutical recruiters visit the campus for placements.

CSE branch is great in terms of placement in private sector with high packages whereas CE branch offers placement in government sector with decent packages and secured jobs. CE is an evergreen core branch with brilliant scope in government sector .CIvil HasTremendous scope in so many field. Be it construction, transport, geotechnical ,fluid mechanics, repair and maintenance, seismic retrofitting of structures,testing of materials, So basically endless opportunities than CSE.If we go with bifur cation of top engineering courses out of the total number of seats only 923 seats are available in IITs and ISM Dhanbad. Hence The Competition is too high among engineering aspirants to reserve the most coveted seats in IITs

First of all, I need to correct you here by telling you that HBTI or Harcourt Butler Technological Institute is no longer an institute, it has separated itself from the AKTU colleges authority and is an autonomous university. Hence, Harcourt Butler Technological Institute is now known as HBTU.
In my view, National Institute of Technology, Durgapur is far better than HBTU in every aspect one can think of, be it placement, education or faculty.
HBTU has once been associated with AKTU colleges and none of the AKTU colleges could compete with even the worst of the NITs.
Even though HBTU has the potential, it has not been long since HBTI has been granted autonomy so HBTU is far behind NIT-Durgapur, even though the NIT does not make it to the top 5 NITs.
The average placement package that one can expect in NIT-Durgapur is around 6-7 LPA for branches like computer science and information technology while a package of 4.5-5 LPA for the core branches like mechanical and more.
I hope that you would make the right choice.
Cheers.

It is very easy to crack AMUEEE in three months when it comes to hardcore preparations and time management.
Though the one preparing for AMUEEE will be definitely preparing for JEE Mains which is a plus point as both the exams have the same number of topics and syllabus.
One can easily not crack the exams, but can get the desired branch by following easy but precious tips.
Firstly, believe in your practice and preparations. Don't worry about the performance of your peers if their performance is better.
Secondly, try to revise all the chapters in first 15 days and have a thorough revision of the NCERT textbooks and the state board books.
Third, try to solve as many questions in the next 15 days and learn the basics of the topic which you find difficult and is important for the syllabus.
The last and the most important tip, rather than the number of questions, solve quality questions and work on the concepts as well as formulas because some questions will definitely be formula based.
Thank you and best of luck.

Birla Institute of Technology and Science Aptitude Test (BITSAT) is conducted by Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) to offer admissions to interested candidates in its BE, Pharma and M.Sc programmes. BITSAT exam is a computer-based test (CBT) which aspirants need to clear in order to secure admission at BITS campuses located at Pilani, Goa and Hyderabad.
If you have prepared rigorously for JEE for one or two years then it would be easy for you to crack BITSAT in 3 months. But if you are talking about starting from the scratch and cracking it in three months, it is pretty difficult.
Firstly, start with the NCERT books and I hope that you have at least studied from these in past year. So, solve all the numericals possible and try to cover as much ground as possible.
For physics, you can use DC Pandey objective Physics book.
For maths, R.D Sharma will be fine.
For Chemistry, NCERT will be fine.
Once you are done with most of the portion, start taking mock tests. You can either buy books for that.
Solve the mocks, analyze the paper and learn from your mistakes.
I will suggest that you start your preparation at least one year before the exam.
All the best.

Hope this helps.

To secure a rank under 100 in any competitive entrance examination is a little tough. You have to put a little bit more effort to place yourself in the list of top performers in any entrance test. Although MUOET is not as tough as JEE Mains, the competition is there too. Aspirants of JEE Mains also appear in MUOET so you have to work according to your plan.
List of some good books which will help you in your preparation:
Physics
1. Concept of physics volume 1 and volume 2 (HC Verma).
2. DC Pandey
Chemistry
1. NCERT: All parts (must buy).
2. A modern approach to chemical
3. Calculations by RC Mukherjee (physical chemistry)
4. Morrison and Boyd for organic chemistry
5. JD Lee by S Guha for Inorganic chemistry.
Maths
1. Cengage books (algebra and calculus)
2. S.L lonely for trigonometry
3. Hall and knight for higher algebra
4. G.N Burman for basic calculus
5. RD Sharma
For English, objective general English by S.P Bakshi and previous years papers are enough.
Apart from these books, you should solve multiple mock papers and previous years papers.You can join online test series for better preparation.
Hope it helped.
Thanks.
