Should I take up math and computing at IIT Delhi, or B.Math at ISI Bengaluru?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : April 5th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Whether you should opt for MnC at IIT Delhi or B.Math at ISI Bangalore depends on what you want from your graduation and your career prospects.

Academically both institutes are excellent and none is better than the other. So my answer entails the drastic difference in the curriculum and scope of the two programs.

Bachelor of Mathematics, ISI Bengaluru

This program has high-tech mathematical stuff and purely focuses on Mathematics. The Institute is smaller than IIT Delhi and ideal for those who have a single passion in life, Maths. The coursework consists of abstract algebra, analysis, probability theory, and so on. Additionally, it has compulsory courses in Statistics, Probability, and Physics as well. Although it offers some CS courses also, the program does not focus on Computer Science much.

Math and Computing (MnC), IIT Delhi

The curriculum of the MnC program is more inclined toward computer science than Mathematics. The program focuses more on applied mathematics, rather than pure mathematics. As a result, graduates from this course can start jobs earlier than those from ISI.

In a nutshell, if you are willing to go for higher education and research in mathematics, then ISI should be your goal. If you are a person interested in the practical application of concepts and want to eventually be employed in a company, then IIT Delhi is the best place for you.

How is the faculty at the IIT Delhi compared to that of the IIT Bombay?

A
Admin Posted On : October 7th, 2023

I have friends in both institutes and from what I have heard, the IIIT Delhi faculty is quite arrogant and has no interest in teaching. The professors at IIT Delhi were very approachable during internships and expressed their willingness to work with the students and help them find their thought processes. On the other hand, IIIT Delhi professors would mock you if you were unable to answer a particular question.

A friend shared an incident at IIT Delhi when one of the professors committed an unintentional mistake and retook his interview to apologize. Your Ph.D. depends a lot on the kind of professors you work under and I will never recommend you to do a Ph.D. under such arrogant professors

Why has IIT Delhi made its PhD admissions so hard?

vp
vidya prakhar Posted On : April 10th, 2023
Ph.D from IIT Delhi

IIT Delhi Ph.D eligibility criteria are as follows:

  • Passed M.Tech/M.E/M.Sc/MBA degree with minimum 60% marks 
  • Or, B.E/B.Tech with a minimum of 70% marks in the concerned discipline.
  • Must qualify for GATE/ CSIR/ UGC NET/ ICAR/ DST INSPIRE fellowship

The admission has been made challenging to shortlist minimal candidates that rightly qualify for the degree instead of shortlisting many. Although we can say that CGPA alone should not be the only criterion, maybe they might already be getting enough applications that can be filtered out using criteria like CGPA.

Now, Stanford’s Ph.D. eligibility criteria is a TOEFL cut-off of 113/120 for MS in CSE. One might think that the TOEFL is an irrelevant criterion for a Ph.D. but it is necessary as you will have to read and write papers in grad school. This criterion showcases the holistic eligibility criteria of US admissions in contrast to Indian admissions.

Why students go for ies after mtech from iit Delhi?

SG
Sushmita Gupta Posted On : April 5th, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

Following the trend, many MTech from IIT Delhi students opt for IES after completing their post-graduation. The reasons why most students do so are listed below:

  • Many branches for IIT Delhi MTech are laid back and require no sincere efforts. This attracts students who have other future goals and use IIT Delhi as a stepping stone
  • The facilities are good and students are given accommodation and even paid a stipend, which is more than enough for a comfortable survival for a few years
  • IIT Delhi has many coaching institutes in close proximity thus students sometimes pursue their ulterior motives by preparing for other higher education.
  • A major reason for this rising trend is the fall in the GATE level, making it easy for average students to get admission to MTech. The industries should also give importance to R&D so that people with serious career goals can get good jobs.

However, this trend is not justified as such students are not only wasting the money of citizens but also stealing the seat of a genuine aspirant who has to forgo their seat.

Is mathematics and computing branch is similar to CSE in IIT Delhi?

SG
Sushmita Gupta Posted On : April 10th, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

Mathematics and Computing (M&C) is a branch offered at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi and is quite similar to the CSE branch in the sense that both focus on the study of computer science and technology. However, it’s important to note that M&C is more inclined towards mathematics and its applications in computing, while CSE focuses more on the engineering aspects of computer science.

Both branches offer similar courses in programming, algorithms, data structures, and software development, but M&C additionally covers math-oriented topics like Differential Equations, Number Theory, Linear Optimization, Algebra, Calculus, etc.

There are a number of courses like Discrete Mathematical Structures taught at both departments but separately by professors of the respective departments. 

Both branches are the most coveted branches and all companies opening job profiles for one branch offer the same to the other branch because of the similar nature of the branches.

What are the tips for department change in IIT Delhi?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : April 10th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

One of my friends could get into Civil Engineering due to her rank but chose to stay because of being close to her hometown. She started preparing for a department change and after working relentlessly for a year, she was able to get a chemical dual degree. This initially seemed impossible because of the geniuses she was surrounded with. 

The first semester was a nightmare as she scored only a 7.6 CGPA because of her poor performance in Applied Mechanics and Engineering Drawing. However, with a bigger picture in mind, she started working harder and by the end of the second semester, she was able to score an 8.48 SGPA. 

When asked for tips, she said she completely was relying on her luck but kept working to the fullest. She left no classes unattended and was the first one to submit assignments.

Ultimately, you need to work hard, trust the process and wait for the results patiently.
