Tips for freshers

Explore what you would want to pursue after your graduation.  In the first year, there is ample time to explore different paths. If you are interested in  branch change , then focusing solely on it might be a good option too. CPI matters a lot.  You should have a CPI of at least 8. Whatever happens, you should not let it go below 8, and in the worse case below 7. It's not like this should be your goal for the four years here, but just that you should maintain a good CPI, it helps you a LOT. Attend classes and tutorials.  It becomes a lot easier to get a good CPI if you are regular to classes. Sometimes a professor may suddenly fail students having attendance below 75% to create an example for the future batches, so it's always better to attend classes even after knowing professors past behavior. Play a sport or join a club or one of the fests . Explore different clubs but join only one, this is my opinion, you are free to decide for yourself. Join a fest, if you like it, t

Comparing different colleges.

This is the general order of colleges:

 IIT-Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras- These are the five oldest iits. All of them were established between 1950s to 1960s. They have a wide network of Alumni. And finally they have their own charm. Every college ranking has either of these institutes starting their list. There is clearly no way you can compare these five institutes. The rankings take into account only some of the things and grade the institute on basis of that. So it’s clearly on you (your own priorities) to decide which one of these will be better for you.

 IIT-Guwahati, Roorkee- Guwahati was established in 1994 and Roorkee was converted into an iit in 2001(Established in 1847). Both the institutes are doing well and have an amazing campus.

 IIT-BHU- Converted to iit in 2008 and was established in 1919.

The following colleges can have a different order based on your preferences:
·         BITS Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad – One of the best private institute in India.
·         IIIT-H- It has immense coding culture. It lacks the fests and the fun you have in other colleges.
·         NIT-Trichy, Warangal and Surathkal- The so called best nits.
·         NSIT and DTU.
There are also many other good colleges, I just intended to highlight some of the best ones to my knowledge.
