Is IITRAM better than Nirma & PDPU for civil engineering?

DM
Divyansh Modi Posted On : March 21st, 2023
Lives in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India

Absolutely, if you are interested in pursuing civil engineering in Gujarat, then IITRAM is a better option than Nirma and PDPU. There are several reasons for this.

  • IIT Gandhinagar is the mentor of IITRAM, and it has a COE by Siemens. This association ensures that IITRAM provides excellent facilities and exposure to its students.
  • IITRAM is the nodal centre in Gujarat for the E-Yantra project (Robotics) initiated by IIT Bombay. This project enables students to gain hands-on experience in robotics, which is essential in today's world.
  • The Board of Governance and Academic Council of IITRAM comprise directors, deans, and professors from IIT Gandhinagar, which is also reflected in the college's brochure. The faculty selection for IITRAM is done by IIT GN, and the syllabus is decided with the help of IITB.
  • IITRAM has a Siemens Centre of Excellence, which has nine extraordinary labs, along with 13 other labs, providing practical knowledge to students.

Therefore, if you are an ACPC student in Gujarat, it is a golden opportunity for you to pursue civil engineering at IITRAM.

However, it is essential to note that IITRAM is an excellent option only if you have an interest in core branches such as mechanical, electrical, or civil engineering. If you are interested in computer science, then you should prefer Nirma. On the other hand, if you are interested in petroleum, then PDPU would be a better option for you. LD is also a very good option for those who cannot afford Nirma and PDPU.

Ishaan Gupta Posted On : January 5th, 2023
B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar ( NITJ ) (Graduated 2021)

NIT Jalandhar for Instrumentation and Control is unquestionably superior to NIT Jalandhar for Civil. There are several points that indicate the same thing. Nearly 90% to 100% of placements are available in the ICE branch. Students of the ICE branch have a chance to get into IT companies which will not happen in Civil.

If you are certain about your branch choice, then go for Civil at IIT Kanpur. If you aren’t sure about the branch then choosing IIT Kanpur among these three IITs will be better. In 2021, NIRF ranked IIT Kanpur #6 in the country. Although it’s not easy you can change your branch after a year. But you can’t change your college.
