Should I opt for IIT Guwahati for biotech or MNNIT Allahabad for IT?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : May 6th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Both IIT Guwahati for Biotech and MNNIT Allahabad for IT are extremely different courses in terms of the scope they offer. 

Go for Biotechnology only if you are genuinely interested in it because core placements are miserable and there is a dearth of job opportunities. Most students get placed in Analytics and other non-core sectors and only a few manage to secure a core job. So go for this only if you want to pursue higher studies.

MNNIT Allahabad’s IT program offers excellent job opportunities but lacks in terms of research and exposure. The coding culture is very good here but the academics is poor. The placement scenario is great second only to CS placements. If you aren’t sure enough consider the following points before making the final choice 

  • Infrastructure: IIT Guwahati has excellent infrastructure and a very beautiful campus in contrast to MNNIT Allahabad.
  • Sports: MNNIT lacks sports facilities and No importance is given to extracurricular activities.
  • Location: IIT Guwahati with its serene campus and location is a clear winner in contrast to MNNIT Allahabad’s pathetic climate and lack of places to explore.
  • Fests: The quality of fests held at MNNIT is very low compared to fests organized by IIT Guwahati.

Concludingly, if you have a specific preference for research and higher education, go for IIT Guwahati else MNNIT Allahabad is the best option for you.

MTech in Thermal is equally decent at NIT Warangal and IIT Guwahati. Both institutes give an edge to each other in most aspects and thus it leaves us only with a few parameters to evaluate IIT Guwahati and NIT Warangal.

  • Ranking: IIT Guwahati Overall ranking by NIRF is 8 out of 200 colleges in India in 2022 whereas NIT Warangal, Warangal Overall ranking by NIRF is 45 out of 200 colleges in India in 2022.
  • Location: Locations-wise, IIT Guwahati is the clear winner considering its low average temperature and splendid natural beauty.
  • Alumni: NIT Warangal has an upper hand here because of its early establishment. The extensive alumni network helps the students to secure placements, internships, fundraising, and many more.
  • Hostel: IIT Guwahati has excellent accommodation facilities with single rooms for every student irrespective of your college year. NIT Warangal may or may not have twin sharing.
  • Placements: Placements of both institutes are similar with IIT Guwahati having a slight advantage over NIT Warangal due to its higher average package.
  • Value: For those planning to pursue a Ph.D., IIT Guwahati is a better choice because of the IIT tag. However, if you just want to pursue MTech and prepare for competence exams, then NIT will be a decent choice.
  • Fees: NIT Warangal MTech fees is ?1.34 Lakhs )1st Year Fees) whereas IIT Guwahati MTech fees are ? 67,350/Yr

Sparing the alumni network, everything speaks in favor of IIT Guwahati and makes it a better choice than NIT Warangal.

Which is better, CST in IIT Guwahati or civil in IIT Bhubaneswar?

AR
Aditi Roy Posted On : May 2nd, 2023
lives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

If you're considering pursuing a career in chemical engineering, you might be wondering which institute and program to choose. Here are some considerations to keep in mind:

  • CST at IIT Guwahati has a huge research scope and the advantage of being an older IIT. This might be a good option for you if you're interested in research and development.
  • On the other hand, if you're specifically interested in government jobs, you might want to consider the civil program at IIT Bbs.
  • The immense scope of research at CST might also enable you to pursue higher studies abroad after graduation, such as an MS or M.Eng degree.
  • Even if you want to settle for a job immediately after graduation, CST graduates can get placed in chemical/FMCG companies.
  • The courses offered at CST revolve around organic and inorganic aspects of chemistry, and sometimes the program is called Engineering Chemistry.

Overall, when deciding between programs, it's important to consider your career goals, interests, and priorities. You may also want to look into the specific course offerings, research opportunities, and placement records at each institute to help you make an informed decision.

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 6th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

Without any second thoughts go for IIT Guwahati instead of DTU. Consider the points below if you aren’t convinced already.

  • Campus: IIT Guwahati has a far more beautiful campus than DTU and also enjoys a better location than DTU.
  • Batch Size: The increasing intake of DTU is now an alarming concern while IIT Guwahati still maintains a small batch size. A small batch size improves the placement opportunities and individual attention from professors.
  • Infrastructure: IIT Guwahati being an IIT, has better infrastructure and campus facilities than DTU.
  • Placements: IIT Guwahati and DTU have similar recruiters but the same company offers more roles and better packages in IIT Guwahati than DTU.
  • Brand Name: The IIT tag especially of the old IITs is any day better than any other institute.
  • Diversity: IIT Guwahati has a more diverse student crowd than DTU because DTU has a reservation for Delhites.

In all, it can be safely concluded that IIT Guwahati is a far better choice than DTU.

What is the average package and rate of placement of B.Des from IIT Bombay or IIT Guwahati and its scope in the future?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : August 18th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Both IIT Bombay and IIT Guwahati BDes branches offer excellent job opportunities and the high figures are a reflection of the same. IIT Bombay BDes recorded a placement percentage of 71%

IIT Guwahati BTech and BDes average package stood at INR 26.33 LPA. DOD recorded a placement percentage of 71.05%. The branch offers a plethora of future prospects and most students venture into successful careers in the field of Interaction Design. The institute has a record of having some of the best recruiters like Microsoft, Samsung RnD, Flipkart, Uber, Sprinklr, Ola, and many more who recruit designers from IIT Guwahati mainly for the role of UI / UX designers. The demand for these jobs and designers is increasing day by day so getting a good package for a BDes student shouldn’t be a concern for students of either institute. 

For a specific company to stay in the race, it’s important to design a product that would attract more users than the company's competitors and it all required a good designer. So the role of a Designer and the scope of the branch, in general, should not be underestimated.

Which one should I join: the NIT Surathkal's M.Tech in CSE or the IIT Guwahati's M.Tech in theoretical computer science?

SG
Sushmita Guha Posted On : June 28th, 2021
Studied at IIT Kharagpur (2019)

Getting a master’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering from one of the Indian Universities can feel like being stuck in a place forever.

  • If you do not take IISc and the top IITs, no other University or college in India provides a good quality program for Master’s in Computer Science.
  • NIT Surathkal is popular for its B.Tech in CSE but not for the Master’s program that the college has to offer.
  • It would be advised for you to prefer IIT Guwahati any day since it has been ranked among the Top 8 IITs in the country.
  • Several of the recent IITs have been created to serve the purposes of the states.
  • These IITs are managed by one of the top 5 IITs in India.
  • Most candidates would certainly choose IIT Guwahati over NIT Surathkal for an M.Tech program.
  • Assuming you are studying M.Tech to learn, not to get a job then you should definitely prefer IIT Guwahati over NIT Surathkal.
  • If you want a job, there are several more ways to do that.
  • If you are skilled enough to get admission at IIT Guwahati then you can have a decent job in hand in the future.

If you want to pursue a Master’s program and learn, you would be way ahead in IIT Guwahati than in NIT Surathkal.
