A
Admin Posted On : June 28th, 2024

Both IIT Madras and IIT Bombay are well-recognized academic institutions in India and are ranked amongst the top Engineering institutions as well. The choice between IIT Madras and IIT Bombay depends on you and other factors like the field of study you opt for, location preference, research opportunities, campus facilities, and your personal choices.

How good is college of engineering Pune?

VK
Vrushali Kashyap Posted On : April 20th, 2021
Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology, Pune Institute of Computer Technology (2019)

This college is one of the best engineering colleges in Maharashtra but not good enough to be one of the best in the country. As far as the college is concerned, it is the 3rd oldest college in Asia and its buildings reflect that. However, on the inside, they are very well redesigned and well equipped.

Overall, the campus has an area of 36 acres which is obviously smaller than other IITs and NITs that have 100-acre campuses. The college definitely has its own hostel but it is not big enough to house all students.

Being autonomous, it definitely updates its curriculum regularly with industry requirements and has also won quite a few accolades for the same. As far as the crowd is concerned, you will see that most of the students are Maharashtrians coming from different parts of the state but it is a healthy mix of athletes, studious individuals, and people with different talents.

There are also a number of fests like Tech fests, Sports fests, and other cultural festivals and all of them are quite popular.

Labs are also fully functional and will usually cater to all your needs. Most instruments are functional, but you might find one or two that are bumpy here and there. The college has recruiting companies like HSBC, Qouvantis, and Mahindra to visit the college. However, with COVID 19, the situation might be a little different.

While BVP is not in the top engineering colleges of India, it is decent enough for the opportunities it offers. You can apply here if you are looking to do so.

How is the new campus of Nicmar Hyderabad?

AN
Akhil Nair Posted On : September 20th, 2021
Studied at National Institute of Construction Management and Research, Pune (2017)

The new campus of NICMAR Hyderabad is 20 Km away from the city and you hardly find anything around the campus. 

  • You need to walk 2 Km from the bus stand to get into the NICMAR campus. 
  • There is a small basketball court and cricket ground.
  • The gym facilities are good but usually remain overcrowded.
  • One small shop is there where you hardly find anything, and the food is of average quality and the menu gets repeated.
  • But there is a 24 hours electricity supply and the classrooms are well-equipped with air conditioners.
  • Also, a free wifi facility is available but there is a limit, if you use it beyond that then your id is blocked by the officials.

Thus, we can conclude that the facilities provided in the new campus are less when compared to the old one.

Do students from IIM/FMS/JBIMS/SPJIMR/IIFT/XLRI bunk classes like engineering students?

PT
Pragya Tripathi Posted On : February 28th, 2023
CSE IITK'15, IIMA Batch of 2015-17

At IIM/FMS/JBIMS/SPJIMR/IIFT/XLRI, attendance is seen as a crucial aspect of the learning experience. Every effort must be made to be present in class and to participate actively in the discussions. In fact, class participation is considered to be such an important factor in determining grades that a significant portion of the total course weightage is allocated to it. This system is in place to encourage students to be engaged in the learning process and to ensure that they are taking full advantage of the educational opportunities available to them.

On the other hand, at IIT Kanpur, there is a more relaxed approach to attendance. While it is still advisable to attend classes and to be present for lectures, there is no strict requirement in place. This gives students more flexibility and allows them to choose when they want to attend classes based on their personal schedules or other commitments. It also means that engineering students are not penalized if they miss a class or two, as long as they are able to make up for it by participating in other ways, such as completing assignments or preparing for exams.

Overall, both B-schools and Engineering colleges have different approaches to attendance and class participation. While IIM Ahmedabad places a strong emphasis on being present in class and participating actively, IIT Kanpur takes a more relaxed approach. Ultimately, the choice between the two institutions will depend on the individual student's preferences and learning style.

Which company visits CUSAT at the time of placement?

RG
Ritika Ghosh Posted On : July 28th, 2021
Studied at Amity University Kolkata (2019)

Since some of my friends studied at CUSAT, Let me share their insight on the companies that tend to visit CUSAT at the time of the placement.

  • In the CS background, the IT companies like Infosys and TCS visit the campus every year.
  • For the mechanical department, CEAT and KITKO companies have visited.
  • The college provides better placement opportunities for CS and IT Branches.
  • The fire and safety department of the college gets huge compensation due to the huge demand for fire engineering and less supply for fire engineering in India.
  • For CS and IT branches the students get placed with good packages from INR 10-20 LPA.
  • You just need to prepare well for placements should score well in your CGPA.

The placement percentage is low in the Mechanical branch, EEE, and Civil branches. You may not get core companies but you may get jobs in other sectors.
