There are a lot of differences between the Dharam Singh College which is situated in Nadiad and the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Institute of Technology. 

  • The Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Institute of Technology consists of an NIT tag which is a lot better than the other. 
  • Both the colleges furnish the same courses of engineering but getting an NIT tag that is a national institute tag helps a lot. It indicates a brand. 
  • Apart from the brand, it has a diverse culture as it welcomes students from all over the country, the exposure and opportunities offered at SVNIT are of the national level. 
  • The faculty and placements are also above average at SVNIT.

Should I study IT from IIEST Shibpur or EC from SVNIT?

DB
Devlina Bose Posted On : July 5th, 2021
Studied Computer Science and Engineering at IIEST Shibpur (2019)

IT from IIEST Shibpur is a better choice than EC from SVNIT Surat. Both my classmates and I agree to the fact that IIEST Shibpur is a much better institute than SVNIT. The reasons for the same are given below –

  • It is a common observation that many of the EC engineering graduates eventually work as software engineers, which is not their core domain.
  • IT is very close to CSE in terms of coding and related works. You will definitely learn more in IT rather than EC even if you are interested in software.
  • If you want you can learn software development and coding on your own, then go for the EC branch of SVNIT.
  • But that will require a lot of effort, time management, and discipline.
  • IT at IIEST, Shibpur will also give a mental satisfaction that you are working in the same field as intended while in EC at SVNIT you will probably have to join a job that is not related to your core EC subjects.
  • Even if you are passionate about EC, the faculty in this department at SVNIT are not very good. They are too young for the job.
  • Of course, there will be seniors and various clubs to help you out but faculty are at the core of any teaching system.

RR
Rohit Roy Posted On : July 9th, 2021
Studied at NIT Trichy (2019)

Considering the opportunities which may get available for you in the future, I would suggest you go for Chemical Engineering at NIT Surat as it would be a better option over metallurgy. As my sister studied there, I am very well aware of the college and its pros and cons.

  • Many PSUs and organizations recruit students of the Chemical Engineering department from NIT Surat.
  • Some of these PSUs which recruit from the college include BPCL, HPCL, IOCL, and COAL India.
  • Many people consider NIT Surathkal to be better than NIT Surat based on incomplete information and the NIRF ranking released by the Ministry of Education, India.

Should I take NIT Surat for mechanical engineering or BITS Goa for an MSc in maths?

RS
Riya Siyar Posted On : August 24th, 2021
Studies M.Sc in Mathematics at BITS Pilani, 2021

There are different viewpoints for the same question. It primarily depends upon what is best for you, and whether or not the course you are willing to take interests you. 

One of my friends encountered a similar problem likewise, and addressing the same, here are some points you might want to consider before diving into any conclusion,

  1. A dual degree in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry is claimed as a part of Science, while others are considered in the case of Engineering. You will learn the theories of science instead of the application of technology.
  2. In Mathematics, you are supposed to learn the series of higher-order and their respective application. While, in Mechanical Engineering, you will learn more deeply about Engines, Boilers, Automobiles, Refrigerator Systems, and much more.
  3. A single degree, like Mechanical Engineering, CSE, EE, Civil Engineering, or Chemical Engineering, can be more advantageous than dual degrees. 
  4. If you opt for a dual degree in Mathematics, you have a higher probability of becoming a mathematician or a professor. But, in case you pursue Mechanical Engineering from NIT Surat, then you bear higher chances of securing a placement offer at top-tier MNCs.
  5. Your choice should always remain ahead of most others. The one piece of advice is that in NIT Surat, you supposedly cannot change your degree from M.Sc to B.Tech following the 1st year and vice versa. 

You should research the same for BITS Goa and find whether or not the rule is similarly applicable in the institute. This is the basic difference you can find between both institutes.

Can I get admission in SVNIT on the basis of my GUJCET score?

SC
Siddhant Chatterjee Posted On : August 9th, 2022
B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology, Surat

No, you can’t take admission at SVNIT, based on GUJCET score. For undergraduate courses, SVNIT admissions are through JEE Main and JoSAA counseling. Being a Central Govt. affiliated institute, the institute takes admission based on national-level examination scores. 

GUJCET is a state-level examination. Colleges and state universities of Gujrat take admission through the examination.
