Should I take BITS Goa for ECE or NITK for information technology (IT)?

PS
Prateek Sinha Posted On : August 10th, 2021
Ph.D. Engineering Geology & Geotechnical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathka

IT in NITK is the most sought-after branch after CS and EC. You should also be aware of the status of NITS and BITS. NITs are usually national-level institutes, but the onus of choosing your preferred branch and institute finally depends on you.

NITs have always been better than private institutes. Look at your area of interest. Do you like to tinker with electronic objects or is coding your forte? Once you clear this out, you will have a clear idea about what to choose.

But, if you are unable to make a decision, look at placements if you are going to look for a job in the future. Students from CS and IT get paid really well with higher chances of bagging a job as compared to other branches.

As far as these two colleges are concerned, NITK has better placements for IT. BITS Goa is good too. Overall, you will not regret choosing either of these two colleges but in the end, it all boils down to your interests.

What should I choose between BITS Goa CS and IIT Roorkee Applied Maths?

AG
Ashish Gupta Posted On : April 17th, 2023
Lives in Roorkee, Uttarakhand, India

Applied Maths at IIT Roorkee is a more viable alternative than BITS Goa CS provided that you have an interest in coding. 

  • The course structure of Applied Mathematics is quite similar to that of KGP MnC. Unlike the general assumption, this program isn’t research-oriented. Only a few who have a deep passion for Maths take up research as a much later endeavor.
  • The best part of the program is the excellent job opportunities it offers. Its placements are second only to CS, the most preferred branch.
  • You get to avail top-notch facilities provided by a leading IIT, Roorkee
  • IIT Roorkee has the highest intake of this program even more than IIIT Hyderabad.
  • The Applied Maths team bagged the 68th position in the ACM ICPC world Finals and the 2nd position in India.
  • The course structure covers diverse topics like data structures, design, Analysis of algorithms, and discrete mathematics. All these topics help to strengthen the Computer programming base of students.

Is NIT kurukshetra better than BITS goa? (for mechanical engineering)?

SR
Sumit Roy Posted On : August 23rd, 2021
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra

I have friends from NIT Kurukshetra, so can give you an idea about the institute. The Mechanical Engineering Department at the institute has good faculties. But, they hardly come up to the class and without their guidance, clearing the exams is tough. If you are choosing NIT Kurukshetra I will advise you to concentrate on your studies as clearing examinations without supplementary examination is challenging at the institute. 

Also, Placements are good enough at NITK and you can easily secure a 5-6 LPA package as of now. According to the 2020 placement report the average CTC offered was 10 LPA.

How many students get above 9 CGPA in BITS Goa?

AK
Avinash Kanrar Posted On : August 3rd, 2021
Completed M.Sc Mathematics & Computer Science Engineering, BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus

Out of about 620 students, only 15-20 students get a CGPA higher than 9, every semester. As tough as it is to get such a CGPA, it is equally tough to maintain such a CGPA. It is not impossible, though.

  • To achieve and maintain such a CGPA, it is important for you to be up to date with your academics. You should also attend your classes regularly.
  • Staying in touch with your academics and maintaining a regular attendance will help you get to an admirable CGPA but achieving a CGPA that is higher than 9 will take some hard work.

The seniors are very supportive and they would be happy to help you in achieving the said CGPA.

Among BITS Goa ECE and NIT Trichy EEE, the latter is a better option. NIT Trichy will give you better exposure and opportunities.

What should I take, BITS Goa CS or IIT Roorkee (civil or chemical branch)?

NB
Nitin Bhatia Posted On : April 15th, 2023
Studied at BITS Goa

The job opportunities in both Chemical and Civil are very limited and it’s also difficult to switch domains later. The core opportunities consist of more of a blue collared job. One can go for Government jobs if interested.

Go for CS in BITS Goa if you are looking for excellent placement opportunities or higher education. CS provides excellent opportunities in terms of higher studies and research work. But if you are adamant about Civil or Chemical, go only if you are genuinely interested, and that too after in-depth research about the nature of work.

The only drawback of joining BITS Goa is the exorbitant fees which might be a major issue for many. Apart from this the branch is very promising and is expected to grow more so. It’s recommended to contact working professionals in the field once and enquire about career prospects. Also, go for CS only after gaining a basic level of coding skills.

Should I opt for chemical in BITS Goa or EEE in RV College of Engineering?

SN
Simran Narula Posted On : April 29th, 2021
Studied at Bachelor of Technology in Electrical and Electronics Engineering

The dilemma of choosing an engineering branch is one of the most common situations for students who just cleared their 12th boards. Now coming to the question, there are two pieces of advice to be followed in this case.

  1. Firstly, it’s high time to sort out your preferences. You need to take time and decide where you are inclined towards. As both of them are totally opposites of each other, it is very crucial to follow your interest as you will be dedicating 4 years of your life. Most importantly, it will decide your career too.
  2. Secondly, if you are okay with any of these and the only thing that matters to you is the college name, then go for BITS Goa. There you can also enquire and opt for the dual degree option. Despite one extra year, it will prove worth it. Also, in other parameters like brand name, faculty, etc, BITS Goa outshines RV College any day.

Overall, it's best recommended to follow your interest first as these will be career deciding years of your life, and you don’t wanna regret it later. After all, your hard work and passion are what determines your success.
