Reality

Passing out from the college had dual emotions . There was a gloominess in the surroundings picturing the pain of leaving the college .I was leaving the college who change my life . I was sad because i was leaving not only the college , but friends and everything which i liked in the college too. But my feelings were little vibrant too as i was going to adopt a new form of life i.e. Corporate life.

I saw that everything is planned . Take the work experience of 2-3 years , Go for Higher Studies , Come back and work in a good company at a good position or do a start-up . Things were looking so much simple and elementary . I never felt the need of a contingency plan . But things got changed when i stepped into the Reality. When you join a company, you not only increase money in your pocket but you increase liabilities too. It is the life which comes with the cost of changing your full life style . Slowly slowly you get addicted to the perks and facilities provided to you by this new life. The ambition which looked so simple just after gradation suddenly became unachievable. I just got lost in the intricacies of this corporate world .

Jon brings new responsibilities .Your job increases expectation of your family . Your job brings new liabilities . Your frugal life style becomes a lavish one . Effectively you become a slave of your own job . You get addicted to it . I am not saying that i got succumbed to it , but the vigor and enthusiasm i used to have for study before this has got lost somewhere . Slowly i have become more specific . I don't want to read stuff which is not useful in my job . I just want to do everything limited .

Now when i think about higher studies the big question which haunts my mind is "What should i do ? ". I see Higher studies more as a value addition to my current situation in employee - employer relationship . I don't see it as commodity which will actually increase my knowledge of life . It has become a profit-gain game . I value it as a return-investment plan . If i do MS by GRE from US Institute i would be paying at-least x amount and will get a job of at-least y amount . Same scenario revolves for CAT , GATE and last but not the least , what if i stay at the job for some more time ? These questions are unanswerable .

Placement analysis of IIT Roorkee

Today I will be reviewing the placement of IIT-Roorkee. As we all know it stands among one of the prominent engineering colleges of India. It is among the oldest colleges of India too. It is famous for its civil engineering. The placement statistics which I am going to present is not recent. They belong to the placement of year 2007-08.

The average placement of IIT Roorkee in 2007-08 was 5.5 lpa, which is quite fascinating with some outstanding placement in non circuit branches like mechanical, civil etc. Although IIT Roorkee is located at a remote location its placement details show no defects at all. This shows the hard work of the Placement division of IIT Roorkee and capability, intelligence of the students pursuing degree in this college. Recently a rumor was heard that IIT Roorkee is opening a new placement cell in Delhi. If this rumor is correct than it will further improve the condition of placement in IIT Roorkee and will place its position among the top engineering colleges of India in terms of placement.

BITS, Pilani - Hyderabad Campus

The much awaited BITS -Pilani Hyderabad Campus started it's journey in the academic year 2008-09 . This campus will be another milestone in the glorious history of BITS-Pilani's Campuses . But still people have doubt about it's present condition in the field of Engineering colleges . It's not a inch back from other BITS -Pilani 's Campuses in field of Facilities , Professors etc. But Obviously experience is the thing which does matter in this field . It's like a small child waving it's hand and showing presence to everybody . In future it will surely gloom as a beautiful flower and will spread it's fragrance in the field of Enginnering . So, now let's don't go deep to the philosophical discussion of college and i should put down the real condition of the college .

Geographical background
The institute has acquired a land of 200 acres in Jawahar Nagar, Shameerpet Mandal from the Government of Andhra Pradesh through HUDA. This Campus in planned with an outlay of about Rs. 270 crores . Now I will say that this is a huge money but compared to research facilities needed to run a pioneer engineering college . But as a startup part it can be considered as a very good amount .

Education Process
The Institute operates its education programmes at three tiers of education, namely, the Integrated First Degree programmes, Higher Degree programmes and the Doctoral programmes.

Integrated First Degree Programmes
The Integrated First Degree Programmes are offered at the first tier with nomenclatures like B.E. (Hons.), M.Sc. (Hons.), and M.Sc. (Tech.). The se are all level wise equivalent degrees.

These are called integrated degrees for two reasons
1. There are several common courses amongst these degrees
2. No intermediate degrees, like B.Sc., B.Sc.(Hons.), B.A., B.A.(Hons.), etc. are awarded. These degrees are based on a modular structure and their academic requirements are spelt out in respect of the number of courses and units rather than the number of years.

All these programmes are structured in such a way that normally a student will be able to finish a programme in eight semesters. Of course, the flexibility of the Institute allows a student to do his programme at a faster pace and finish it earlier than 8 semesters or at a slower pace to finish it alter than 8 semesters.

All programmes offered at BITS, Pilani-Hyderabad are split into three groups as follows:

Group A (Engineering)
Chemical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Electrical and Electronics Engineering
Electrical and Communications Engineering
Computer Science
Civil Engineering
B. Pharmacy

Group B (Sciences)
Biological Sciences
Chemistry
Economics
Mathematics
Physics

Group C (M.Sc. Tech)
Information Systems

The Entrance Exam for BITS - Pilani Hyderabad Campus is also BITSAT . People are selected for these colleges according to preferences and their respective BITSAT score . In case of any doubt about the entrance exam or selection please mail me @ shanky19892006@gmail.com

What makes you an IITian ??

Today when a student thinks of his carrier in the field of engineering, he suddenly develops a dream of becoming an IIT Engineer. It was foretold that by some of my elders that for getting admission in IIT’s you really need to be intelligent. But with new complete fee structure and government policy of caste discrimination this proverb is loosing its value.

If today young aspirants will ask me about the admission in IIT’s, I will simply reply him back that you require two things for becoming an IIT Engineer.

1. 1. You should have a real conceptual mind (or you can develop them in new trends higher secondary school i.e. deemed Coaching Institutes).

2. 2. Your Father’s pocket should be full of cash (a turning point for becoming an IIT Engineer).

Today when any student starts his preparation for JEE, the most important step is

· Selection of Coaching

Due to recent change in the examination pattern of JEE, it has become important even for a real intelligent person to join coaching for JEE. These new higher secondary schools of India are the real makers of IITian. Without these a person can’t think of becoming an IITian.

Now, if we take a look over the fees taken by these reputed schools for providing their valuable efforts to make the future of your children, you will come to know the importance of these institutes for your child.

There are basically two modes of joining a coaching institute. Either you can go to hub cities of coaching institutes like KOTA, DELHI etc, or you can do preparation in your home with a less popular coaching institute and a correspondence of any hot shot coaching.

Plan A: - Preparation in HUB CITIES

EASONS	FEES
Coaching tuition fee	Rs. 40,000/- per annum
Housing charge	Rs. 2000/- per month
Mess charge	Rs. 1500/- per month
Stationary charges	Rs. 700/- per month
Other charges	Rs.1200/- per month

Plan B: - Preparation in your own city

REASONS	FEES
Coaching tuition fees	Rs. 35,000/- per annum
Stationary charges	Rs. 700/- per month
Correspondence material charges	Rs. 12,000/- per annum

Plan A, Total expenditure in two years: - Rs. 1, 44,480.

Plan B, Total expenditure in two years: - Rs. 1, 02, 400.

Now even after this there is no surety that your child is going to get selection in any of the IIT’s with any shit branch. So, there is a trend of wasting one important year of your life which is called as a drop in these new Higher Secondary School. Even if you have got something in other good colleges like NIT’s etc. they will force you to waste one year to get admission in IIT’s.

I don’t want anyone to not get selected in these IIT’s in the first attempt of JEE , after two year of comprehensive study in these Institutes, but since due to great population of India as the percentage of selection is only 2% . So, around 40% of the student who don’t get select in there fresh year, take drop and again start cramming for JEE. As with new pattern of JEE, the importance of cramming is more than the mere intelligence of a candidate.

Now you have chased your dream and you have got admission in prestigious IIT’s, but your father’s pocket is going to suffer a lot . Now, here is the fees structure of an IIT (Revised one which came into effect in current year 2008-09)

INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BOMBAY

Fees for B.Tech/DD/ 5-Yr M.Sc. students admitted during the academic year 2008-09

Now this is fees payable for one semester in IIT Bombay and the mess charges are not included in this as it depends on the intake of a child. Mess advance normally comes as 15,000/- per semester . So, if we add up the fees of one year excluding the refundable fees and the fees that is being charge annually.

Total = Rs. 1,02,752 (for GN/OBC) , Rs. 52,752 (for SC/ST)

Now total cost for making your child an IITian if your child clears JEE in his first attempt would be around = (1, 44,480 + 4*1,02,352) = Rs. 5,53,888 /-

So, now it would be quite sure for you all that for becoming an IITian your child should have brain and you should also have money which is really a turning point in your child’s selection in JEE and for the dream of your child to become an IITian.
