Your blog had been of great help...Dear Prof Sanghi,<br />Your blog had been of great help for my son's admission for IIT in 2012. His rank was 2100+. At present he is a happy & proud student of IIT Kanpur. <br />While selecting a branch for IIT we found that many bright students with 2000+ rank in JEE think that they have to make a compromise for branch selection. But after reading this blog we experienced that at this rank many exciting & promising branches are still open even upto rank above 4000. <br />For that I have prepared a very detailed excel sheet with a data of <br />(1)opening & closing rank of all the branches in IIT for last 3 years<br />(2)Individual IITs<br />(3)Old & New IITs <br />(4)Individual branches <br />(5)Group of branches<br />(6)4 & 5 years courses etc. <br />This data can be of great help for future IIT counselling. <br />I do not know how to attach this excel sheet in this blog. Please guide me how to share this data.<br />Regards, <br />DR snpadh; ahmedabadsnpadhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17621717243035480703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-68019023085321612742012-07-14T10:59:27.727+05:302012-07-14T10:59:27.727+05:30sir,

I got JEE rank 8922 so i'll not get CS there. I got 320 in BITSAT so i will get CS in BITS goa and hyderabad. I also got AIR 1055 in AIEEE so i'll get CS in all NITs like surathkal,warangal,trichy and also IIIT Hyderabad. Sir which wud be the best option ?

I have been guiding several students every year in choosing the branch and colleges during IIT AIEEE Counselling. I just want to know your opinion about IIT Roorkee and ISM Dhanbad as students are quite reluctant to join them especially ISM. From my students studying there I am getting information that courses like M.Sc Tech in Applied Geology and Geophysics are really good.Please brief me more on what you think about them. Because lack of complete idea hinders me from expressing such suggestions strongly to the students.Siddharth Jainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11247226392748180538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-27537169759135256122012-06-06T22:40:09.852+05:302012-06-06T22:40:09.852+05:30@Chandan, We follow whatever is the law of the lan...@Chandan, We follow whatever is the law of the land. To the best of my knowledge, any vacant seats against SC/ST/PH quotas are filled up by preparatory students belonging to the same quota.

So closing ranks are likely to improve. But that is not germane to how you fill up choices. You should fill up all choices that you feel comfortable with. After all, there is a lot of speculation, and we really don't know what will happen, and how people will react to it.<br /><br />What would go wrong if you start earning 2 years after someone else start earning. There are some people who will start earning after many more years, since they will do PhD also.Dheeraj Sanghihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367519409840642182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-1913772413487297052012-06-01T08:49:37.476+05:302012-06-01T08:49:37.476+05:30@snpadh, As I have already mentioned in the 2011 b...@snpadh, As I have already mentioned in the 2011 blog, Maths and Scientific Computing programs are run by Maths departments, and will consist of majority of Maths courses, with some CS courses thrown in. In IITK parlance, "DE" stands for Department Electives, which means courses offered by the Department which are not compulsory for the program. "OE" stands for Open Electives, which means any course that is offered in the Institute, and which is not a compulsory course of the program. These courses are not listed, since there are simply 100s of them. Of course, in real life, the choice for electives will be severely curtailed because the student may not have the appropriate background (what we call as pre-requisites), or there may be a timetable clash, or there may be too many students interested in it, and there may be an upper limit on the number of students who can do this course.<br /><br />Being a Dean at IIT Kanpur, do you think I can publicly say anything other than, "you must join IIT Kanpur, of course." But more seriously, think whether your ward will feel more welcome in IITK or some other place, if everything else is equal.Dheeraj Sanghihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367519409840642182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-84926526210492858032012-06-01T08:38:23.551+05:302012-06-01T08:38:23.551+05:30@bgr, For you the course does not matter.

So take up the minimum duration program in a place with strong, vibrant alumni association. None of the options you have mentioned have a 3-year or less degree. So take up any 4-year program, which is "easy" for you. I think IITK, KGP, BHU, Roorkee, and BITS, all have an active alumni associations.Dheeraj Sanghihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367519409840642182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-83178209517245307362012-06-01T02:36:34.382+05:302012-06-01T02:36:34.382+05:30Going through your superb article I found out that...Going through your superb article I found out that you recommend IIT Gandhinagar and Hyderabad among the new IITs.

I doubt whether a program which is not even mentioned on the website of the institute will attract students based on one paragraph in Counseling Brochure. Also, I believe the IIT Kanpur model of "Engineering Science" (which we will announce after a couple of months) to be superior. We don't offer this program at the time of admission (and hence you won't see this in the JEE counseling brochure). We will ask students from any discipline to migrate to Engineering Science if at any point in time they decide that they prefer a more broad-based education and less depth in any one discipline.Dheeraj Sanghihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367519409840642182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-57216021449043713672012-05-25T14:40:04.267+05:302012-05-25T14:40:04.267+05:30Can you please tell us what do you think of the en...Can you please tell us what do you think of the engineering science course at iit-h?Do you expect the competition to be stiff for this branch?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01768477712309310795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-69703399925462380622012-05-24T03:50:27.086+05:302012-05-24T03:50:27.086+05:30Reading this might be helpful for some of your rea...Reading this might be helpful for some of your readers.<br />http://india.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/23/an-open-letter-to-indias-graduating-classes/<br />I think the tone of that article is slightly condescending, but the points seem important.Vikramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184698535624088994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-14255645090601629272012-05-23T09:13:25.356+05:302012-05-23T09:13:25.356+05:30As always, an excellent article Proff.
