Shiksha All Time Q&A

SASTRA University is located in Thanjavur and it is accredited by NAAC.
It is ranked 65 in the list of top colleges of India by 'the week'.
It is well known for its good infrastructure knowledgeable faculty with experience of teaching and many facilities like Wi-Fi Sports Complex and labs with better equipments and machines.
According to the reviews of the students Sastra University placement of B.Tech students in mechanical engineering are not very good. According to the students about 20 to 25% students get placed in the core companies and rest of the students gets placed in the non-core companies which are mass recruiter like TCS, Accenture, etc.
You have to study hard to be in that 20 to 25% students and to get good placements in core companies.
Due to the students getting placed in mass recruiter companies they provide only the average salary to the students of mechanical engineering.
Students who get placed in core companies have a good salary rate.
Average salary provided to the students of mechanical engineering is about 4 lakh per annum.
Highest salary provided to the students is about 20 lakh per annum.
Hope it helps.

MIT School of Engineering is not the best but comes under the category of elite institutions in India. The college has a nice infrastructure, curriculum, academics and most important the vibrant co-curricular culture.
MIT-Pune is a private college affiliated to the University of Pune and has nice placement record when talking about civil engineering. The average placement is around 4 to 5 LPA and highest reaching up to 13 LPA.
The mass recruiters are TCS, Capgemini, Tech Mahindra, Cognizant and Wipro.
Also, some of the good global and national corporates visiting are Volkswagon, Hero, ITC, Axis Bank, Airtel, Amazon, Cisco, IGATE, etc.
The institution is overall very nice and one can get it by scoring 150 marks in MHT-CET for CSE.
The only con in the institution is the huge amount of fee. It is obvious due to its private nature, still, it will worth if you can get an education loan and some financial help from external sources.
Thank you.
Hope it helped.

There are nice placements for chemical engineering in RV College of Engineering.
Although, one need not expect a high salary package for CSE students though exceptions may be there, but the chemical engineers have to satisfy themselves for a low starting salary package.
Though the progress and promotions are countless in the field and can be achieved by skilled learning in the undergraduate phase.
Now, when it comes to placements, the average placements are around 5 LPA and highest reaching up to 13 LPA.
The life of a chemical engineer is full of surprises and challenges but revolve around the chemicals and theory related to it.
Though RV College of Engineering is the preferred branch and one of the most vibrant campuses of India and you can live the golden four years of life with fun and enjoyment, also scoring well in exams.
The college teaches the students to be skilled but not educated from only the theory point of view because, in my personal view, if one gets the placements on the basis of the marks will further face hardships in life when it comes to competing with the skilled ones.

RV College of Engineering is one of the best autonomous institutes of India and a much-preferred institution due to its prime location, excellent placement, government funding and old establishment.
It has seen a nice placement scenario for past few years also with the struggling branches such as aerospace.
Aerospace, now, in India has a wide scope in research when it comes to ISRO and other research organizations, still, it is unable to find the mass scope required as same as it shows and frames at the global level.
The placement here for aerospace at RV College of Engineering is considered best be with an average of 6 LPA and highest reaching up to 13 LPA in the recent campus recruitment drive.
The highest placement achiever was though not from campus drive but applied separately in Airbus, and got selected after a couple of screenings and interviews.
Although, Airbus has a wide scope in countries such as France and Germany where every aerospace student dreams to work.
Thank you.
All the best.

First of all, you should not expect that you'll be placed in a core company once you finish your degree from Dehradun Institute of Technology as it fails to attract any except Amazon which recruits one or two from the college.
Although, association with IBM for the computer science course is an added advantage but is nowhere going to help you because of the quality of companies visiting the campus during the placement drive.
Most probably you will get placed in an IT company by the reputed mass recruiters like TCS, Wipro, Infosys and Accenture leaving you with no other option but to go for your Master's degree program if and only if you want to get into a core company as per your specialisation.
The average placement package for the department is around 4 LPA while the highest for the same branch being around 25 LPA by Amazon.
Therefore, you can consider joining the college if you have no other better college to get admission in or in case you want to enjoy beautiful campus located in a hill station.
Hope you do well. Cheers.

This is really a challenging task as just getting a good book is not enough, you need best mentors and preparation for JEE from Class 8th then only one can get perfection in their subjects to score best marks in the exam.
For the concepts, if you like to be absolutely clear then apart from your notes, you can consider the following textbooks:
a) Physics: HC Verma, DC Pandey, Resnick and Halliday Walker and NCERT.
b) Maths: I A Maron for Calculus, S L Loney, Amit Agrawal, IIT-Mathematics by ML Khana and NCERT.
c) Chemistry: NCERT, OP Tandon, JD Lee, LG Wade, Morrison Boyd and NCERT.For practice questions, you can look into these:
a) Physics: Irodov, D Mukherjee and DC Pandey.
b) Maths: Loney, TMH, Cengage and coaching package.
c) Chemistry: OP Tandon, OP Agarwal, RC Mukherjee and P Bahudar.
d) Online: Eagerbug
NCERT Exemplar Problems books are also needed.
The previous year question papers need to be solved and one can also have to go with the package of resonance or Allen and their test series for scoring such rank in JEE Advanced exam.
All the best.

Based on the individual subjects, here is what you should do and where you can focus upon a bit more:
Physical Chemistry: Remember the formulae and practise the questions. Focus: Thermodynamics.
Inorganic Chemistry: Do a little bit of reading from the start so you are in touch with it constantly. Focus: Analytical Chemistry.
Organic Chemistry: It also demands constant and regular efforts. Focus: Reaction Mechanisms.
Mathematics: Make a chart of all the formulae. Practice a great deal. Remember 3 Ts: Tips, Tricks and Techniques for each topic. Focus: Calculus.
Physics: Remember the concepts and practise the questions. Focus: Mechanics.
Tips for preparing for JEE Advanced 2018:
You must understand that there is no such thing as an important topic. All topics are important, questions can be set from any topic. You just have to do your best. Since you have time, don't leave any topic unattended.
While practising, highlight the questions which you find tricky and conceptual for future reference. Every day, cover topics from all the three subjects. It helps you to maintain a balance right from the start. Make a schedule which would work on eliminating your weak links and strengthening your strong ones. Try to stick to it.
After topic wise revision, you should start with the test series, online or offline, quite early. As it creates an exam-like environment, you would come to know your mistakes and shortcomings and you can work upon them.
JEE Advanced is all about quality and not quantity. It is better to focus on things and get a better understanding than having a basic idea of all the topics. If you have decided to study for IIT JEE Advanced in 1 year.
Stay motivated:
A major obstacle in the path of your glory of JEE Advanced will be the difficulty to stay motivated throughout. One year is a very long time. Most people usually fall prey to distractions, deviate from the track and lose interest. It is very late by the time they realize a lot of time have been wasted by them and the ball remains no longer in their court. If you are easily distracted, it is advisable to join a coaching centre or enrol for test series.
If you couldn't clear JEE Advanced in the first attempt, take it as a challenge, perhaps your first learning of life. Trust yourself. With hard work everything is possible.
All the very best.
