Which is best: NIT Durapur, NIT Jamshedpur, NIT Raipur, IIIT Jabalpur and IIIT Kancheepuram? I'm interested in electrical, electronics and computer science.

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : September 4th, 2023

All the aforementioned institutes namely NIT Jamshedpur, NIT Raipur, IIIT Jabalpur, and IIIT Kancheepuram are good in their own way. They have their own strengths and weaknesses. The choice between these will thereby depend on personal preferences like distance from your home, the placements-branch-wise, and internship opportunities. 

 Now choosing the branch can be a bit tricky as BTech students have no idea of what exactly they are going to study. Choosing the branch is a blind bet and often many regret their choice later. That being said, if you are confused between electrical, electronics, and computer science then consider the following points 

  • Go for CSE if your goal is to secure a high package in software and don’t want to spend much time studying.
  • Go for EEE if you want to work less and secure a stable average job.
  • Go for ECE if are interested in electronics and want to pursue a career in the same.

Out of these ECE is the most challenging with the least opportunities while CSE is the easiest with a plethora of opportunities.

What should I choose among Calcutta University and Heritage Institute of Technology, for engineering?

TM
Taneesha Mitra Posted On : October 13th, 2021
Studied B.Tech. Computer Science and Engineering, Institute of Engineering and Management (2022)

One of my friends was a student of the IEM thus, he had his reasons to make a choice among all the given options which might help you choose a college for yourself. 

Instead of enrolling for any college under WBJEE, you can try to go for IITs. If you have no luck there, then you should opt for government colleges such as CU, JU, and KGEC.

Talking about IEM, you should know IEM provides a good opportunity for the students with all the favorable benefits. 

Apart from this, Heritage Institute of Technology is not a good choice as the crowd of students doesn’t have any standards. Most of them are enrolled by the management quota. You may also go to other colleges like Techno Main Saltlake otherwise, you can also choose GCETT Serampore, near Kolkata, as it is also a good college.

Which is better, NIT Allahabad or IIIT Allahabad?

SS
Savi Sharma Posted On : October 16th, 2023

MNNIT and IIIT Allahabad are both well reputed engineering colleges.

Here are certain differences between the two-

  • Curriculum- IIIT Allahabad offers limited engineering branches, and is mainly focused on Information Technology. MNNIT also offers other branches like Mechanical, EE, Civil, etc. apart from CS and IT.
  • Faculty- Both have experienced faculty members who possess great knowledge. But IIITA has a greater number of Phd. holders in its faculty, and it is more research oriented. 
  • Research- IIITA has a research oriented environment. Its faculty members and students engage in research projects in areas like machine learning, data science and cybersecurity. NIT Allahabad also has a good research culture, but it is more focused on applied research. 
  • Placements- Both offer excellent placements. Companies like Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, and Google visit their campuses for recruitment purposes. IIITA records a slightly higher median salary during its placements.
  • Campus Life- MNNIT offers a larger campus, a more diverse student community, and a variety of extracurriculars. IIIT Allahabad has a smaller campus, and its main focus is on academics and research. 

Both the colleges are equally good. Choose between them based on your branch preferences, research interests, career goals and college life expectations.

Is it a wise decision to choose IMS BHU over KGMU?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : September 26th, 2023

Many people consider IMS BHU better than KGMU due to internal PG. But the truth is internal PG at IMS BHU will only give only a single attempt to get an internal seat at a low rank. Moreover, owing to the rotation system in a particular year, there might be no internal seat for a particular branch for a specific category. If you happen to belong to that particular branch, you will have to be among toppers else you won't be eligible for internal benefit or state quota. KGMU on the other hand, will give you unlimited attempts with a state quota

Also, I feel MBBS is not just about PG, but also about the holistic development of the students. That being said, the IMS tag isn't as valuable as the KGMU tag.

So, I don't think it's wise to choose IMS BHU over KGMU.

Which is better, KIIT Bhubaneswar or Manipal University Jaipur?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : July 26th, 2023

My brother is currently studying at KIIT Bhubaneswar and my cousin is a pass out of Manipal University, Jaipur. From the experiences shared by both, I have come to one concrete conclusion, KIIT offers a much more vibrant and dynamic campus life. It urges you to develop as a whole and not only in terms of academics. You will feel like a completely whole person when you leave KIIT.  

At KIIT, the entire year is filled up with lots of exciting activities and competitions that are both academic and non-academic. KIIT faculties are very approachable and their qualifications are at par with government institutes. Their interactive nature is very charming. If you want to make the most out of this institute then you should have good communication skills and a positive attitude towards studies. 

Addressing the elephant in the room, here is a competitive analysis of the placement statistics of both the institutes'

Which is better for BCA: IEM or Heritage Institute of Technology?

DG
Devansh Gupta Posted On : September 23rd, 2021
Studied at Institute of Engineering and Management

Institute of Engineering and Management (IEM) is better than the Heritage Institute of Technology. There are various reasons for saying the same.

  • Faculty: They are really very supportive, cooperative, and understanding. They will explain the concepts really well.
  • Placements: It is an old institute and has a very good name going for it. Thus placements are obviously better than Heritage Institute of Technology.
  • Discipline: This factor may not be to everyone’s liking such as wearing uniforms, going to morning assembly, and attending classes regularly. But this definitely makes you disciplined in your life. This makes this college unique and distinct.
  • Location – It is located in Salt Lake Electronics City in Kolkata which is home to companies such as PwC, Cognizant, L&T Infotech, IBM, etc. which makes it easier for getting internships. 

There are various activities taking place on the campus and you can be a part of some or another activity. If you join this college, you will enjoy your stay here and walk out with pride and satisfaction.

I am a fresher engineer. Should I do an MBA from a college like PUMBA or NL Dalmia?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : July 4th, 2023

Both N.L. Dalmia and PUMBA are good options to pursue your MBA. Both offer more or less the same opportunities and exposure to their students. Both have a crowd of talented students which maintains a healthy competitive spirit.

The main point of difference between them is that of location. One is located in Mumbai while the other is located in Pune.

In terms of placement, PUMBA gives a good number of opportunities on campus. PUMBA does not offer 100% placements. However, you will get a couple more interviews if you do not clear the first interview.

Here are the overall 2022 placement highlights for PUMBA and N.L. Dalmia:

Both PUMBA and N.L. Dalmia, are good institutions to pursue your MBA. You can choose between the two institutions based on this information.

Why is the cutoff for computer science in Thapar lower than that of NIT Jalandhar?

AA
Ayush Agarwal Posted On : December 3rd, 2022
B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Institute of Technology, Jalandhar (NITJ) (Graduated 2020)

The cutoff for computer science in Thapar has seen a fall in figures. This is because of the decrease in the fame of this college. There are so many better and popular institutes that people usually don’t consider Thapar as their first choice.

Even big companies prefer students from IITs, BITS or DTU. Students themselves opt for IIT because of its tag. They know the IIT tag will always be a boon for them.

The general decrease in its popularity has resulted in lower cutoffs and the situation seems to be worsening over the years to come.

What should I choose - Maths and Computing in IIT Kharagpur or CSE in IIIT Hyderabad?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : March 23rd, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

A simple answer to this question would be IIT Hyderabad if you are looking for better academics and job prospects and IIT Kharagpur if you are on the lookout for a good social life.

Honestly, the course of math and computing at IIT KGP lacks the necessary requirements to impart true knowledge related to math and computing. The only reason why people still go for this course is the high placement packages offered at the end of five years. If you are adamant about joining IIT KGP, then I suggest you opt for a brand change and go for something that is more industry-relevant and worthy today.

The ultimate question is if you want to choose a college with good academics or good activities. Once you Are sure about the answer, Taking this decision will become much easier.
