Shiksha All Time Q&A

Manufacturing Engineering at Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani is really close to the course and curriculum of mechanical engineering at the same college.
Now, this gives the branch and added advantage that the students pursuing for the same branch get to set for companies looking for manufacturing engineers as well as those looking for mechanical engineers as well.
Ritesh, the average placement package for the year 2017 was around 6 lacs while the highest being 27 lacs.
Also, Bell Institute of Technology and Science is the top private college in India and is also almost equivalent to an Indian Institute of Technology and so it ensures you the best of the placements than any other college in India can provide you with.
With this, I would round up by saying, that if you really want to pursue manufacturing engineering then BITS Pilani is the right college for you to provide you with adequate academics and the best of the placements in India.
I hope this answer helps.
Cheers.

First of all, I would want to tell you that no college can guarantee you a placement abroad as this is totally dependent on the company decision, vacancy in the job location, projects going on in the location of your choice.
Hands during campus placements one cannot expect for job location of his or her choice, although your choice may be taken in consideration by the company where again the decision is on the company to place you in the location of your choice.
However, this is not the case at off campus placements where the company beforehand advertisers for the job and the location where they want to place you at.
Now, about National Institute of Technology Surathkal:
The closest information I can provide you with your query is that the International placement at the college got was around 45 lacs, particularly and the computer science branch.
I hope this helps.
Good luck and cheers!

The answer is no. You cannot get into SRM through TNEA.
Anna University conducts Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) to offer admissions to candidates in various engineering colleges in the state of Tamil Nadu. TNEA counselling is a single window process and admissions in Tamil Nadu engineering colleges are offered through such a process because authorities believe that such an initiative facilitates transparency.
Here is the list of colleges that accept TNEA scores: https://www.shiksha.com/b-tech/articles/tnea-2014-list-of-tamil-nadu-engineering-colleges-blogId-8105
Sri Ramaswamy Memorial (SRM) University conducts Sri Ramaswamy Memorial University Joint Engineering Entrance Examination (SRMJEEE - UG) to offer admissions to interested candidates in its B.Tech programmes.SRM University also conducts SRM Joint Engineering Entrance Exam (SRMJEEE) through which it offers admissions to candidates in programmes like Health Sciences. Candidates can appear for SRMJEEE either through the paper-pencil mode or even as a computer-based exam.
So for getting into SRM, you need to give SRMJEE.

If you are preparing rigorously for JEE then cracking AMUEEE won't be that difficult.
So, if you are already preparing for JEE then what should you do for cracking AMUEEE.
So what is cracking AMUEEE all about? It is more about the clarity of concepts and lots of problem-solving and an excellent time management. If you have prepared rigorously for JEE then you won't need any extra books for AMUEEE. Rather, I would suggest giving a lot of mock tests. Make sure you are thorough with all the formulas and general solution for simple cases as it can save a lot of time in the exam.
The main point is timed practice and a lot of revision. Apart from that take a look at previous year's papers. There are some books available in the market for mock tests but buy only from trusted publishers. Mainly while your exam, have confidence before going for the exam or your entire preparation will be of no use in the end.
All the best!

It differs from person to person depending on one's current academic performance. But yeah it sure is possible to crack IIT JEE Mains and Advance in 1 year if you follow the proper routine. Some of the tips are mentioned below:
- From the point of view of a proper routine, the minimum time you should be dedicating is at least 5-6 hours on self-study regularly. You should split the self-study time into two core parts: one for revision purpose and second for day-to-day self-study. Revision is very essential because syllabus of class 11th and 12th PCM is vast.
- Join a coaching institute and resolve their study materials repeatedly. Nowadays there are numerous tablet courses existing such as Aakash and Plancess. The advantage of joining tablet courses is that you have plenty amount of time for self-study which I contemplate is most vital piece when preparing for IIT JEE. You can go for classroom courses also but yeah then your timetable will be a bit tiresome. But it depends on you if you can accomplish 6 hours of self-study after attending classes or not. Also, they have introduced Adaptive Learning in their test series which I think no other institutes has done yet. -Watch sample lectures yourself in YouTube and go for the one that suits your need well.
- You have to put equal importance to all the three subjects. If you neglect any of the subjects then you will never be able to get rank below 1000. In fact, it will even decrease your probability of clear IIT Advance significantly.
- Always take part in All India Test Series. In this matter, Aakash is best as many students participate in Aakash All India Test Series. FIT JEE also good when it comes All India Test Series. All India Test Series will give a proper assessment of where you lie among the crowd as you will be competing with 12 lac students in IIT JEE Mains. So, you should have an idea about what it is like to compete with students from different parts of the country.
