Pune University ka Drama

2008-06-11T16:50:00.000-07:00

Used to be one of the best University of India, but with coming of some ordinance No. 181 everything has changed.

Ranking of University till 2007 (for MCA) :
No.1 : Pune University, Pune
No.2 : JNU, New Delhi
No.3 : Delhi University, New Delhi
No.4 : REC Trichy (Now among top 2)

Some things to laugh at :

Approximately 3590 cadidates from OUTSIDE MAHARASHTRA gave exam for Pune university in year 2008. Total seats for national level is 2 (you heard it right, only two). And they declared the seat intake after the result (what a joke). That means almost 1795 students competing for 1 seat (at national level) . Ratio 1795 : 1.
Maharashtra students, if want can also take seat in national level quota.
Fee for Outside Maharashtra candidates (2 seats) is double as for remaining students.
After declaring the result on their website, they changed the merit list stating "initially declared merit list stay cancelled".
Some Pune University reserved candidates with negative marks this year (2008) will get through the admission process.
No two students from the same state/U.T can get admission together according to ordinance even if merit list permits. e.g. once a student from Delhi get admission there, no other student from delhi stand a chance for admission.
Now when some students must have booked the tickets from north booked the tickets to go to pune, they have postponed the admission just before 4 days of schedule.

Last year stats (2007) :

As far as my information, last year 14 seats were there for National level and candidates upto 32 rank got admitted. This year its completely uncertain due to so many factors.

About the University :

The university is one of the best till date with the advantage of being near IT City, Pune. Very good infrastructure with only deserving student getting there. Everything will change from this year onwards as the admitted students get restricted to Maharashtra only.
Average pay package goes to 6.5 lakh per annum (highest compared to any other institute)

Top NITs for MCA

2008-06-11T05:59:00.000-07:00

Usually, during the counseling procedures most of the students give preference to NITs in order their seniors told or someone who don't even know the location of that InstituteVery few do actual research about the institute before taking admission.

Note : I had given MCA entrances last year and got ranks in few of them. But due to some reasons I was not able to join in for MCA. Maybe my experience and search on this topic could help students this year to select the best NIT

No. 1 : NIT Trichy
On the top of the list is NIT Trichy. Located in Tamil Nadu.
Website : National Institute of Technology, Tamil Nadu

+ Points :

Nice campus.
Too good infrastructure.
Research oriented study.
Highly qualified faculty.
Strong interaction between students sharing knowledge and experiences.
Rated top Educational institute in India several times by various organizations both at UG and PG level.
Placements are good with highest pay package of Rs. 43 lakh per annum.

Some things to look for :

Fifty percent reservation for T.N. students. Students with as low as 1008 rank with state quota getting into it. Being in the far south, and majority of students from native state outsiders may find it difficult to adjust in the beginning.

Last year stats (2007) :
