Which is better, AMU or NIT?

A
Admin Posted On : February 3rd, 2024

I was in a similar dilemma some years back. I ended up choosing AMU, but I am not happy with my decision. The placements at average level NITs like NIT Kurukshetra are much better than those at AMU. 

I got placed for 3.5 LPA at a well known company. But my friend who studied at NIT Kurukshetra got a much higher offer from some other brand. It is better if you choose a good branch at a decent NIT, and master your subject. The ‘NIT’ tag holds a lot of prestige. Companies that visit both Jamia and AMU, offer better packages for the same roles to Jamia students. 

Thus, I would strongly recommend you choose a decent NIT over AMU any day.

Is IIT Kharagpur better than IIT Kanpur?

SN
Saugata Nayak Posted On : March 30th, 2023
Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (2020)

Almost all IITs are excellent engineering colleges providing the best education and amenities. Yet there might be some comparisons that can be drawn based on common aspects like choice, infrastructure, and geographical location. Eventually, it’s a matter of your preferences and not the institute's worth.

For example, if you are someone who considers Academics the most important factor to determine the credibility of an institute, then IIT Kanpur is the best choice for you. It has the toughest grading system and the entire focus is on studies. So if you are excellent in academics, you will remain at the top here.

Both institutes face a certain level of locational disadvantage but IIT Kanpur is still slightly better in this aspect.

Who is the worst faculty at Vasavi College of Engineering?

AD
Arunika Dutt Posted On : August 20th, 2021
B.E from Vasavi College of Engineering (2019)

None of the faculty can be characterized as the best and worst. Teaching as a profession is not taken up by professors who would go down the lane to be known as the worst faculty. 

However, there might be some faculty members who would inspire you, who would push you to venture into new fields of skills, some might even bore you with their lectures and you might even come across some strict ones. It is all just the pressure of standing on the podium to impart knowledge to the students on a large scale.

Moreover, college is to learn new skills and make use of the available facilities and experiences provided by the faculty as per one’s requirements. 

Vasavi College of Engineering has some of the best faculty. They are highly educated and experienced. Ramana Murthy Sir (Mech HOD/ Principal), AV Rao Sir, Ram Mohan Rao Sir, Veladri Sir, Venkataiah Sir, Sudhakar Sir are a few names of the members of a tremendous faculty.

How is processor "Shakti"by IIT Madras different from that of Intel and ARM?

SR
Sayantan Ray Posted On : July 22nd, 2021
Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (2018)

As far as my knowledge goes, this is probably not the same. From what most people know, ARM is an old RISC processor. X86 is the older scaled-down version and as far as Shakti is concerned, it is a RISC-V processor which is a later version of the ARM (Acorn’s RISC Machine). It also follows the same concepts.

This probably means that if you are planning to do something new with Shakti, it would not have the outdated RISC label to it.

Talking solely about Shakti, it is mostly used as an exercise to demonstrate its ability to do design work and build processors in our country. The bar set here is quite low. They should make Silicon like the one at TSMC and that would probably have a much more lasting impact. This will possibly take some time but they will be there soon.

SS
Sumit Saha Posted On : September 4th, 2021
B.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering & Information Technology, K.J. Somaiya College of Engineering

I have friends from both KJ Somiya and DJ Sanghavi. Based on the conversations I had with them, here is a brief comparison of the institutes. 

  • Teaching: Both institutes have good faculty bases and good academic infrastructure with well-established laboratories. 
  • Student crowd: The crowd at both institutes is similar. Both have a Gujrathi minority. 
  • Campus: KJ Somiya has a bigger campus. It has a full-size football ground, basketball ground, volleyball ground, tennis court, etc. DJ Sanghavi has a small campus but it offers better infrastructure. 
  • Placements: Placement wise KJ Somiya is better than DJ Sanghavi. The former offers better packages. Most of the companies that recruit from KJ Somiya are from the IT industry. Also, a few telecom companies visit the campus placements. 

Here are the placement highlights of both the institutes in brief.

Category  KJ Somiya  DJ Sanghavi 
Average CTC  5 LPA  6.60 LPA 
Highest CTC  18 LPA  20 LPA 
Major recruiters  Microsoft, HDFC Bank, Jio Adobe, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley

Both Electronics and EXTC students can appear for Telecommunications companies. However, EXTC has better scopes in this field.

Having been a topper in all my unit tests how should I prepare further for my anna university "first semester" exam to get a cgpa of 10?

HS
Harshita Saravanan Posted On : September 14th, 2021
Studied International Studies at Stella Maris College,Chennai (2020)

Having mentioned that you are a topper in all the unit tests, getting a CGPA of more than 9 would be an easy task for you. Having 20 marks in all your internals would be even more beneficial.

To get a CGPA of 10 is possible, in your first year. Here are some things you should keep in mind for your preparation.

  • Utilize study holidays effectively – For the first semester examinations, the gap between them maybe a day or two. You have to complete the syllabus in the 10 to 15 days of study holidays. Make sure to revise every important portion the day before the exam.
  • Engineering Graphics – Practice more drawings and present the diagrams clearly and neatly. It is a 4 credit paper.
  • Engineering Mathematics – Do not just read the problems, work them out then and there. This will make you confident on the day of your exam.
  • Engineering Physics and Chemistry – The physics and chemistry papers are much easier compared to the class 12th syllabus. Study the textbook thoroughly. Understand the concepts. Present the answers with diagrams wherever necessary. Instead of writing long paragraphs, use points.
  • Technical English – Focus on the grammar first, Examiners tend to read that part fully while evaluating. So try getting full marks in that part which creates a good impression. That might help to get more marks in the forthcoming sections.

Presentation is one of the most important aspects. While writing use blue or black pens. Write answers in points and use Sub-headings. Try to keep your answer sheet neat and tidy and avoid unnecessary scribbling.
