How much cgpa do I need to guarantee a concession for my semester fee?

I got 70 percentile in mains, is there any branch i can consider in mahindra or gitam or icfai i meant will i get anything with that percentile i am acc fine with any branch ? please help me out gang

I'm considering joining Mahindra University's B.Tech Computation & Media (BTCM).

I've looked through the curriculum and it's much more technical than I expected. It includes subjects like:

• Data Structures
• Design & Analysis of Algorithms
• OOP
• Theory of Computation
• Operating Systems
• DBMS
• Machine Learning
• Computer Graphics
• Human Computer Interaction (HCI)
• User-Centered Design
• AR/VR
• Digital Image Processing

From what I've researched, it seems conceptually similar to interdisciplinary computing programs like IIIT Delhi's Computer Science & Design (CSD) and IIIT Hyderabad's CSH, which combine core computer science with HCI, graphics and design.

My career goal is not media, filmmaking or journalism.

I want to work in tech parks at companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe, Oracle, Atlassian, Salesforce, Intuit, Walmart Global Tech, JPMorgan, etc.

I have a few questions:

1. What kind of technical roles do graduates from interdisciplinary computing programs usually get?
2. Can graduates realistically work as:
   • Software Engineers
   • Frontend Engineers
   • Full Stack Engineers
   • Product Engineers
   • UX Engineers
   • AI/Computer Vision Engineers (with additional learning)
3. If someone starts as a Frontend or UX Engineer, is moving into a Software Engineer role after a few years common?
4. After 4–5 years of experience, do companies still care much about the degree title, or mostly about your work experience and technical skills?
5. If you've worked with graduates from IIIT Delhi CSD, IIIT Hyderabad CSH, Creative Technology, Computational Media, or similar interdisciplinary programs, what has your experience been?

I'm mainly looking for responses from:

• software engineers
• hiring managers
• Mahindra students
• IIIT Delhi CSD students
• IIIT Hyderabad students
• or anyone working in product companies.

To give you some context, this is how my last semester timetable looked like:

	Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu	Fri
9:30 - 10:25	BNSS	Admin. Law	ADR	Family Law	Contracts
10:30 - 11:25	Admin. Law	Consti. Law	Moot Court	BSA	BSA
11:25-11:40	Short break	Short break	Short break	Short break	Short break
11:40 - 12:35	Consti. Law	Contracts	Contracts	BNSS	BNSS
12:40 - 13:35	Contracts	ADR	BNSS	Admin. Law	Consti. Law
13:35 - 14:30	Lunch break	Lunch break	Lunch break	Lunch break	Lunch break
14:30 - 15:25	Family Law	BSA		Consti. Law	Family Law
15:30 - 16:25	BSA	Family Law		Moot Court	Admin. Law

Other than short breaks and free time on Wednesday post-lunch, there is no free time for us. Is this how it is for your school too?

I’m joining Bba digital technologies this year and I’m thinking to rent a good place within 10k km from the MU. I need someone to share to live with me.

I joined mu exe through sat will we have separate section for students through jee and separately for students through sat???

Hey dming u to ask a couple things about mu cse, I'm kinda out of time and my only other options is SRM not sure which one to go for

Heard SRM has ample amount of free time and the exams are also easy so I can have time to learn cse related courses

Not sure how it is in MU do we get enough free time? Heard the day is packed from morning to evening most of the week also can you tell me how the placements are

Kinda urgent since I have to make a decision by today 😭 pls lmk

Please any senior need review for mu.

How is M.Tech Entrance Exam and Interview for M.Tech Admission

I am willing to Join M.Tech in AI and DS

I have my online interview for the B.Tech Data Science program at Mahindra University tomorrow, and it's expected to be around 5 minutes.

If anyone has gone through the interview, could you please share:

• What questions were you asked?
• subject related questions
• Any tips to prepare?

I'd really appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!

The registration for freshers is on 6th August and classes are from 7th

So from when can we stay on hostel???

And can we come late like on sunday 9th, Any issues with that?

This may sound irrational but:

1. I have completed almost all admission formalities
2. Paid the 1st sem fee
3. Went and saw the college physically, totally satisfied.

Classes start in exactly 1 month, and i have to withdraw my applications from other colleges now, i am lowkey scared, idk why.
Other course senior students, did you face any abnormal issues with the admission process? Can anything go wrong?

TL;DR: Expensive, an attendance policy that can wipe out a genuinely strong academic record, close to zero real placement support, a curriculum that leans on filler activities over actual industry exposure, hostel rooms downgraded from mediocre doubles to cramped triples, and a new trimester system about to eat into the little holiday time you get left. I wouldn't recommend it, regardless of how much money you have to spend.

One year into a BBA at Mahindra University, Hyderabad, and I want to lay this out clearly for anyone weighing whether to join.

The money, and the attendance trap

You're looking at roughly ₹5L a year, so around ₹15L across the three years, and that's before supplementary exam fees, which at ₹7,500 a shot are some of the steepest I've come across at any university. Here's the part that actually stings: my academic performance was solid, good grade points across the board, no real issues with the coursework itself. But I fell short on attendance, got routed into the supplementary system, and there's a hard cap on what grade you can end up with once you're in it. So a year of decent work got flattened by one number that has nothing to do with what I actually learned or scored.

I can comfortably afford the fees, so this isn't coming from someone who can't pay them. What I genuinely don't understand is why I'd choose to pay this much to be in what feels like a hell hole.

Placements: the part that should worry you most

If you're paying this kind of money for a business degree, placements are presumably a big part of the calculation, and this is where it falls apart. The placement cell's actual contribution is close to nothing. I checked in with a few friends here, people who scored genuinely well, not average students, and every single one of them who has a job right now got there entirely on their own. If you're joining for career support, you won't find it.

Campus life and the curriculum

No real holidays, penalties for showing up late, and a campus that reads more like a corporate office park than a university. It's fine, but nothing that justifies what you're paying. I'd honestly say I learned more in my last year of school than in my first year here. As one example, instead of using a break for something useful, we were put through a mandatory "summer immersion" that had us running a mock market stall selling toys, while friends at other colleges were doing real internships and actually building experience.

And it keeps getting worse

Even the hostel took a hit, rooms that were already just okay as double-sharing got converted into triple-sharing, so a space that was tight for two people now has three crammed into it. I've seen slum documentary footage with more breathing room than this.

On top of that, they're introducing a trimester system for both new and existing batches, cutting holidays by roughly 45 days, while still expecting second-years to land an internship in that shrunken window. Having been on the hiring side of things myself, I can say with confidence that no company is handing out a serious internship in that short a stretch, while people I know studying abroad are doing proper three-month internships in the same timeframe. The math doesn't work.

Bottom line

Even if money genuinely isn't a concern for you, I still wouldn't recommend this place. Not for placements, not for the college experience, not for what you actually walk away having learned. It's a lot of money for very little coming back.

Posting this from a throwaway and ran it through AI to rephrase it so it can't be traced back to me, they hold too much leverage over grades and attendance for me to put my name on this. Also, kind of wild how everyone here just complains privately and pays up instead of pushing back as a group. Collectively pretty spineless, honestly, but that's probably exactly why nothing changes.

Hi Seniors and batch mates

I am really confused between these two and would extremely appreciate your help in deciding. I am personally more inclined (and interested) in cse but my reason for confusion for both the colleges is that:

1. SRM: I am getting the main campus but I am concerned about the relatively higher batch strength. Also, I have heard about things like drugs being prevalent.

2. Mahindra university: I have heard that the facilities and infrastructure is really good here. But at the same time, I have heard that it is very difficult to score good CGPA here. Also, I dont know how the placements are. I have checked their website and they look good but is that really the case?

Could you please guide me between these two on the basis of their placements, clubs and student chapter opportunities, faculty support etc.

I am new to reddit and this is my first post, please excuse me in case i have made any error unknowingly.

Thank you!

I have taken admission for this course.
Since this is the first time for this course at this college, has anyone else taken admission for this course?

Do i have to worry about the interview??

same as title

What are the timings of classes?

So I’m getting admission in AI, i went to the placement cell and met someone named Sudhakar, and what he told me made very optimistic, like from his stats the placements are decent, apparently the avg is around 10 decent to good gpa’s will get u 20+ and highest is 46. Here its opposite, everyone is shitting on the college and laughing bout the placements, wtf is going on?
