Tips to Find the Best Engineering Colleges in India

Engineering is a popular choice among students after they complete their 12th standard. However, it can be overwhelming to choose the best engineering colleges in India, considering the vast number of colleges that keep stating that they are best. Thankfully, there is no reason to get confused and you can make an informed decision with the following tips.

College Reputation

You will be allocated colleges based on the rank you secured in the All-India JEE examination. Once you start getting interview calls from these colleges, it is time to sit down and do some research on each college. The key is to find a college with a good reputation because a well-reputed college will offer quality education, outstanding faculty, and student-friendly facilities.

Infrastructure

It is important that the college provide infrastructure to further your engineering knowledge and skills.

But, don’t rely just on this to assume that the faculty members are knowledgeable and experienced in their field. Rather, you should delve deeper to ensure this fact by visiting online forums, speaking to alumni, and reading educational websites and journals.

Placement Records

The best engineering colleges in India will always attract top domestic and global organisations for placements. So, you should find out the placement records of the colleges through alumni network, the admission office, and current students studying in the college. Knowing the kind of companies that come for campus recruitment and the offers students get will help you see the bigger picture more clearly.

Use these tips to find the right engineering college for yourself. Make sure the college you choose offers the field or branch you are interested in. Otherwise, the entire exercise will be in vain. If you are still doubtful about your choice, speak to a trusted adult like college professor or tutor to help you out so that you select the perfect engineering college to pursue your dreams.

How is XAT Different from CAT?

XAT and CAT are perhaps the most popular management entrance exams for candidates, who want to pursue post-graduation in management in one of the best B-Schools in India. While many candidates feel that preparing for CAT can help them crack XAT as well, the two exams are quite different in certain aspects.

Test Type

CAT is a computer-based examination while the XAT exam is pen and paper-based. Candidates have to use a ballpoint pen to mark their answers on the OMR sheet, and they are not allowed to use gel or ink pens.

XAT used to be a pen and paper exam so that candidates from all walks of life get an equal opportunity to answer the exam. Another benefit of the pen and paper examination is that all candidates get the same questions and there is no scope of candidates getting different questions for the examination. However, from 2018, XAT will be conducted only in the online mode.

Exam Pattern

CAT has 100 MCQs and non-MCQs questions that you have to answer in 180 minutes (3 hours). The examination is conducted on a single day, but in two sessions. For the MCQ questions, candidates get four options and have to choose the correct answer from them.

On the other hand, XAT has 78 questions in the three most important sections, and the MCQs come with five options. The exam also has a general awareness section with 25 questions and an essay writing section. The total time limit for the examination is 210 minutes. However, in XAT, there is no fixed number when it comes to questions and the time limit to answer them. It keeps changing, but the exam authorities usually publish the changes in advance so that candidates are aware of what to expect.

What makes the XAT exam different from CAT is the inclusion of General Awareness section and Descriptive Essay Writing. Marks from General Awareness are not used to calculate a candidate’s percentile while the essay writing is used as a way to assess the candidate’s writing skills and thought process.

Negative Marking

Both XAT and CAT have negative marking for incorrect answers. However, if you get an answer wrong in XAT, you will be docked 1/4 mark. In contrast, CAT deducts 1/3 mark for each incorrect answer.

Parameters to Consider when Choosing an Engineering College

With so many engineering colleges across the country, it becomes very difficult for the students to choose the right college. Although when choosing a college a lot depends on the candidate’s entrance exam and 10+2 score but still there are a number of other parameters that need to be checked.

Mentioned below are some of the important parameters that you should consider when choosing engineering colleges in Delhi:

It is important to check for the qualifications and experience of the faculty in the college. This can be done by visiting the college website. Usually good colleges post the details of the faculties on their website which include their educational qualification, past experience and research work.

Find out the past year placement record of the college. Usually, the reputed institutes manage to get their students placed in top companies. This can be checked by visiting the online portals of the colleges or by checking the brochures or by consulting with the former students to find out about the past year's placement.

In case of private engineering colleges make sure that it is approved by AICTE or All India Council for Technical Education. This is because, as per the latest rules, universities cannot grant affiliation to technical colleges in case they are not approved by AICTE. In order to check this, you can visit the official website of the college or university or check the website of AICTE.

Infrastructure is another important aspect to look for when choosing an engineering college. Make sure that the college has state of the art laboratory with the advanced equipment, and modern teaching appliances etc. Also find out if the college has a hostel equipped with advanced amenities, especially if you are an out-station student.

Find out if the engineering college has tie-ups with banks as this will help you to get the education loan easily. In addition to this check if the college offers any scholarships programs for the students, you must be aware of that too.

Apart from all these above mentioned parameters also find out if the college offers the new and unconventional branches in engineering along with the traditional ones. In case you have already made up your mind on which specialization to go for; then find out if the college has that discipline to offer.

Understanding the difference between MBA and PGDM course

Both MBA and PGDM courses are quite popular and are known to offer great advantages to the students. These courses help in the career growth, offer better designation and a bigger pay package. However, there are major differences between the two courses and it is important that you know their differences before applying for any of the courses.

Differences

MBA stands for Master in Business Administration while PGDM stands for Post Graduate Diploma in Management.

On completion of PGDM course, one receives a diploma while on the completion of MBA, a degree is received.

Both these courses add value to the career and job prospects as many leading MBA colleges in Hyderabad and B-schools in the country now offer the PGDM course as well.

In case of MBA, the curriculum is designed by the University as a result of which the syllabus of different colleges under the same university remains the same at times. On the other hand, in case of PGDM course, the curriculum is designed by the institutes and therefore, the syllabus may vary from one institute to the other. Also as per the industrial necessities, the PGDM Syllabus goes through a change each year while in case of MBA; the universities tend to change the syllabus after few years.

MBA courses usually focus more on theoretical and technical aspects of management along with a practical approach. On the other hand, PGDM courses focus more on skills based on market necessities.      

Surprisingly the fees charged in MBA courses are much lesser when compared to that of the PGDM courses. This is because a number of MBA colleges are there that are either aided by Government or receive grants from the Government however those offering the PGDM courses are mostly self-financed.

Students should be cautious while taking admission for PGDM courses as they are mostly offered by autonomous bodies. So, it is important that you look for proper accreditation status before enrolling for the course. As the MBA degrees are conferred by universities, the chance of fraudulent activities is quite less.

Thus, it can be said that both MBA and PGDM courses offer a lot of benefits but choice of the course solely depends on the candidate’s will as well as his/her performance in the entrance examinations.

Understanding the Pattern for MAT Exam 2017

India offers candidates a plethora of management courses in some of the best colleges in the country. Many of these colleges accept MAT, or Management Aptitude Test, scores. MAT is a national level entrance examination that is held four times a year and is conducted by the All India Management Association. The next MAT exam is slated for September and candidates are busy preparing for it. However, any preparation is incomplete if the candidates are unaware of the MAT examination pattern.

Importance of the MAT Exam Pattern

While the MAT syllabus is important as it tells you what to study, the examination pattern is equally important. The pattern helps you understand the types of questions you can expect and allows you to create a comprehensive study routine so you focus on each section with the same gusto and diligence.

The MAT examination pattern helps you break down the syllabus into more digestible chunks, making your overall preparation more organized and focused.

What is the Exam Pattern for MAT?

MAT 2017 is an objective type entrance examination. You can expect 200 multiple choice questions for a total of 200 marks. Your exam score is scaled and given out of a total of 800 marks. Each question has one mark for the right answer and 0.25 negative marks for an incorrect answer. The exam lasts for 2.5 hours.

The exam has five sections, which are as following:

· Language comprehension

· Mathematical skills

· Data analysis and sufficiency

· Intelligence and critical reasoning

· Indian and global environment

Each section is worth 40 marks, which means you will have to answer 40 questions. You need to practice well, so you can finish all the 200 questions within the allocated time.

Now that you are aware of the exam pattern for MAT, you can come up with a unique strategy that will help you study the various sections and answer each section as accurately as possible to score the maximum marks in the examination.

It is also prudent to remember that MAT is conducted as an offline as well as online exam. The offline exam is scheduled for 3 September, 2017; while the online, computer-based exam is slated for 9 September, 2017. For both types, the examination pattern is the same, without any variation.

You will have to fill out the application form with all the relevant details and upload the requirement documents. The application form also has space to mention your previous work experience. Although it is not mandatory, work experience always gives an edge to the candidates over those who haven’t any.

After you have filled out the form, upload your scanned photograph and signature. Then you can submit the application without hesitation.

MAT Application Key Points

The MAT application form is pretty clear and simple, and it can be easily filled without any guidance. However, there are a few key things that a person must remember before filling and submitting the form.

While making the payment for the application fees through a credit card, debit card or net banking, the candidate will be required to provide the card details, which is why they must have their card with them while filling out the form.

If the candidate is paying via demand draft then the demand draft must be with the candidate while registering online. The MAT application form along with the demand draft must be sent to AIMA because it will not be accepted otherwise.

Prepare for your examination thoroughly and keep in mind that hard work is the need of the hour. Make sure to ask other possible applicants as to how they are preparing, and imbibe some of that in your own preparation. Also, go through the filled out application form thoroughly before you press enter on your MAT online registration.

A fair warning to those who like to take their own sweet time thinking that it is safe to take all the time they want to fill out the application because it’s online. On the contrary, it is not, as you only have 30 minutes to fill the entire form and submit it along with your photograph and signature. Failing to do so in the required time will result in the cancellation of your application. You will have to start the entire registration process from scratch.

The Perks

Getting good grades in the CAT entrance test will enable you to secure admission in some of the most prestigious business management courses in best colleges and universities in India. You can get admission in one of the 20 IIMs or more than 100 other reputed colleges scattered all over India.

The other benefit lies in the campus placements which allow you to be picked by world-class organizations that are ready to recognize your value by offering lucrative pay packages.  

Be sure to fill your form correctly and don’t miss out on any important details. Also, during the CAT exam registration, the spaces marked with the asterisk have to be compulsorily filled by the candidate. Make sure you read up on the documents that are needed so that you can scan and keep the copies ready.
