Shiksha All Time Q&A

Hello Students,
LEET or Lateral Entry Entrance Exam. This is an exam that is conducted by some states only for Diploma holders to directly join the 2nd year of engineering course.
Here, I want to bring out an interesting fact that most of the states do not allow students of other states to take lateral entry directly into the 2nd year of engineering course. As this is the case, many states even do not conduct any exam since exams of Diploma are conducted by the same agency as the one coordinating lateral admissions and hence admissions are based on marks obtained in this exam.
With many private colleges failing to get enough students in the first year, they have opened their doors for lateral entry. However, Govt. colleges do have a quota for such type of admissions. It is announced every year at the time of admission and is not known beforehand.
Yes, this is a great motivator for many students who have opted for Diploma after class 10th and are desirous of getting a degree in engineering. Lateral entry avoids any wastage of years. The competition is invariably tough and only the best candidates get selected.
To conclude, I will say that it is an exam that is not universal across India, it is restricted to the state only and many states even do not conduct this kind of exam.

Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology is one of the most prestigious and best government colleges in India which ranks first in India and comes in top 200 colleges of the world.
There is no such course (computer science) offered in Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology but there is a course named computer science automation.
It is the college which has computer science automation department ranked 50 to 75 in the whole world and is one of the best computer science automation departments in Asia.
If you want to learn machine learning in India then it is the great place for you as half of the department works on machine learning.
It is the course that provides one of the highest average packages in India.
There are many major IT companies that come for the placement of computer science automation students in Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology like Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Intel, Facebook and many foreign IT companies.
The average package for computer science automation student from Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology is about 12 to 24 LPA.
The average package changes every year.
The highest package is about 1 crore per annum.
Hope it helps.

Jawaharlal Nehru Technology University is a government university and is funded by the government and it is located in Hyderabad.
Hyderabad being the defined centre of technology, companies and many great colleges are located in the area.
There are many foreign companies that come for placements in Hyderabad and also visit Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University to find the students capable of joining those companies.
Due to this, I would like you to suggest that it does not depend on the college placement cell, which has brought the foreign companies, that a student will get placed in a foreign company and can get a chance to work abroad.
It is very difficult to know whether any foreign company will be coming in the future or not.
It totally depends upon the companies whether they have requirements to get students from the universities.
Therefore, I would like to suggest that you shouldn't wait around for any foreign companies to come for the placements in Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University and just go abroad for better study options and try to make your own path towards getting a job abroad.
It is not definite has that every year foreign companies visit Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University for placements but I would like to say that there are some years in which foreign companies come for the placements in the university and take students from it.
Hope it helps.

If I tell you the truth, job prospects aren't that promising in India.
If you want to pursue aeronautical engineering, try going into premier institutes like IIST or IITs so that you would have decent opportunities for good jobs in the field.
Jobs for aeronautical engineers generally are:
Maintenance of an aircraft: Aerospace engineers test new aerodynamic and aviation systems, and maintain them.
Aircraft designer: Aerospace Engineers specializing in this field deal with designing, constructing, and testing aircraft, missiles, and spacecraft. They may conduct basic and applied research to evaluate adaptability of materials and equipment to aircraft design and manufacture.
Aviation engineer: Aerospace engineers in this field deal with the airport design, aircraft navigation technologies, and aerodrome planning.
Defence: Aeronautical engineers in this field deal with creation, maintenance and deployment of defence aircraft such as fighter jets, choppers, bombers, etc. Also, the job requires being able to handle such aircraft at necessary times.
You can work in the government sector with ISRO, DRDO, HAL, etc. We can also look at the private companies such as L&T, Godrej & Boyce aerospace, Boeing, Airbus, Mahindra, etc.
You can also go for Indian Air Force and Indian Navy.
All the best.

Agricultural engineering is comparatively a newer branch but still has decent job prospects.
Government Departments where graduates may find jobs are Food Department, Research Departments, Dairy Boards (State wise), Coir Board, etc.
When it comes to the private sector, Fertilizer firms, Research and development firms, Agriculture Machinery manufacturing firms, Food Products Processing and Manufacturing firms, etc., are the prime recruiters.
Some agricultural engineers can look towards NGOs working in rural areas. Those interested in research activities can join IARI as the junior fellow researcher.
Some positions:
Agriculture Officer
Quality Assurance Officer
Farm Manager
Research Engineer
Process Manager
Purchase Manager
Agricultural Engineer
Agricultural Crop Engineer
Agricultural Inspector
Agricultural Specialist
Farm Shop Manager
Researcher
Environmental Controls Engineer
Food Supervisor
Plant Physiologist
Agronomist
Microbiologist
Soil Scientist
Survey Research Agricultural Engineer
Industries and companies which hire these professionals:
Farming Industry Consultants
Agricultural Commodities Processors
AMUL Dairy
ITC

You can easily crack MUOET in three months even if you are not preparing for any engineering entrance exam. The level of MUOET is not that high but competition is everywhere. You need to make proper time table. MUOET generally ask conceptual Questions. The mathematics part is generally easy and scoring as well. If you have studied well for board exams, then it will be quite easy for you.
Points you should know while preparing for MUOET:
1. You should spend 5 hours in mathematics, 4 hours in physics and 3 hours in chemistry.
2. Prefer NCERT books for chemistry and physics (chemistry is must).
3. Stick with the basics as MUOET tests your command over the chapters. For physics, you may prefer HC Verma (both volumes). RD Sharma objective is enough for maths.
4. Apart from all these, you should solve previous year's papers. This will give you an idea about the quality of Questions asked as well as paper pattern. Solve a lot of mock papers too.
I hope it helped. :)
Thanks.
