Hello aspirant

Whether You will  get a automobike seat in iit Kharagpur or not depends upon cut off of the college  .

If you are from general category you need to score minimum 65% marks in diploma

Eligibility for the course

The candidate must have passed class xii with minimum 50 % marks with physics,  chemistry and maths .

The diploma holders in engineering are also eligible.

Course duration - 4 years

Course fees - 10 to 12 lakh per year

Average salary- 2 to 14 years lpa .

Hii There,

Regarding this matter, the education department has made it clear that candidates who have selected either Basic Mathematics or Standard Mathematics will both be considered eligible for admission to diploma courses, as long as they fulfill the remaining eligibility criteria.

I hope this answers your question.

Thanks

Hii There,

I hope you are doing great.

Thanks

No worries at all. We shall clear this for you. Now let's say, if we ask you to tell about your plans and dreams for the next 5 years. You would say complete your education, get a job, buy a House, "Own a Car", so on and so forth. So you want to own a car. And as of January 1st, 2020, India's population stands at 1,387,297,452. Let's just take that into consideration talking some facts. Now assuming 12.4% of that are below poverty line, the rest can afford either a 2 wheeler and the rest 4 wheelers. Now 4 wheelers needn't be your Luxurious BMW or economic Indica. They can be anything. We are just giving you random numbers. Now lets say 50% of India's population owns some vehicle already. And the rest are someone like you and me aspiring to buy a car one day. Atleast assuming that there are a million of people who want to buy a car in tne next 5 years only in India. Now it is not easy always to import these vehicles from abroad. Which means, India has to have manufacturing Units across the Country. In the next 5 years, if India plans on manufacturing 1 million vehicles, that should be the answer to the people who discourage you. Now even if we guess 3/4th of a million of these vehicles will be sold, it is still a huge number. Automotive Engineering is the branch of Engineering that is focused on the designing, manufacturing and operation of mechanical, electrical, electronic vehicles. This means the designing, developing, fabricating and testing vehicles and vehicle components falls under Automotive Engineering. This also includes Electric vehicles. Now what you study in theory might be different from what you face on the field. You will be made ready to face the electric vehicles but the practical exposure is what makes you better and dealing with these. So a million of vehicles means lot many opportunities in the fields of designing, manufacturing, developing, fabricating and testing vehicles. We might see new companies coming up and we might also see more companies visiting India to expand their business. There might be new designations that might come up based on the requirement of the job to be done. Remember how the Ambassador car was the official car for India and then it has been replaced? That will be the same. Vehicles will be upgraded based on the technology which means an automobile engineer will have more opportunities than ever. New designations might come up and so we might not be able to guess them right away but it is one sector that is only going to get better every day. For example, KIA Motors is setting up its unit in Andhra Pradesh where in 75% of the employees will be from the State. So out of every 100 people Kia will employ, it will give 75 jobs to locals. Even taking that into consideration, the employment in this sector is stable.

No place is devoid of secrets, that very well applies to IISc too. The following are not “dark” per say and apply to any PhD institute in general. There is a popular saying here: “It is easy to get into IISc but very difficult to get out”

Your rank does not matter: You maybe an AIR 1 rank holder, but there will still be someone as good as you, if not better. The first semester of course-work is enough to tell you that. Practical, theoretical, analytical- you need all the skills and it is next to impossible to hone them all. Be prepared to get humbled. Be prepared to learn from everyone.

Ph.D. is not a cakewalk: Period. Most of the days you have to burn the midnight oil and sometimes you may have to take readings at 4 AM in the morning. You will be going back to your room when others are waking up for a morning walk! So, expect the unexpected. It is not a 9 to 5 job.

Good researcher not equal to good teacher: While you will find some professors who will ignite your brain and increase your scientific appetite, also don’t be taken aback if you find a prof who does a very bad job at teaching. Sometimes the level of teaching gets so pathetic, you will fondly remember your 10th std maths teacher. Be prepared to end the semester learning absolutely nothing from them and relying completely on textbooks and video lectures.

Backward thinking: You may think that since this place is a culmination of the brightest minds in the country, people have a good attitude too. Unfortunately that is far from true. Education and literacy are not the same things. Whether you hug your classmate on his/her birthday or go for tea at 1 AM or do assignments at your friend’s room or wear shorts to the mess, people will judge you. Be ready to cope with some people with appallingly cheap mentality.

Freedom in Research: While this is hands down one of the best places to get a taste of the research life , don’t expect 100% freedom in what your project ends up to be. Sometimes the project you want to take up doesn’t interest your PI or you will have to abandon it as you cannot integrate it into your thesis or is simply not a “hot topic” anymore. So, there will be some sort of a compromise between what you are deeply passionate about and what you will eventually end up working on.

Peer Pressure : While you are running instruments and reading papers, there will be your college friends with a 6 digit salary, buying a car & holidaying in Greece. Many a times you will feel like quitting research and pursuing a regular job like them. Grass is always greener on the other side.

PhD takes (a lot of) time: Sometimes your annoying relatives and even your parents will ask you “When are you going to finish”. Your spouse, if belongs to the non-scientific background will question the rationality behind spending such a huge chunk of your life in research. You need to learn to field those questions convincingly, time and again.

Job (in)security: So you finished your PhD? No big deal. There are thousands more like you, perhaps better than you. Jobs are far and few in this field. You may have to do a couple of post docs before even thinking of earning a respectable job in India. So think of PhD as a (5+3) number of years.

Depression : Creating something new, path-breaking and innovative takes time. Reactions fail. Your research gets published by someone else. Data gives you something 180 degrees different from the expected. There will be 30 failed attempts for every successful event. Even your PI might not be so friendly at times. This takes a toll on people. Clinical depression is not very uncommon here. So much so that you need a 3 day appointment to be meet the institute psychiatrist. You got to stick through it with all the courage you can possibly summon.

Loneliness: Depending on your research problem, you may take more time that your colleagues for getting a paper published or for finishing PhD. In the final years, you maybe the only one left in your batch. With no one to talk to. Sometimes you don’t even know your neighbors. Or anybody in the mess. Or your lab is full of juniors who treat you like a senior citizen. So, it is always advisable to be in touch with school friends and family.

Free time: No matter how much you work, you will find free time. No, that is not a very good thing here. You need to find a hobby. Research life is full of ups and downs. Play, sing, join a club, go trekking or find some way to keep yourself interested. It is impossible to last here without having a life outside the lab. The sooner you realize it , the better.

No!

At the graduate level, there is no Automobile Engineering branch. But if you want to pursue career in this field, then you can opt for Mechanical Engineering or Production (Sandwich) branch in which almost all the automobile related subjects are covered.
