Is IIIT, Delhi better than any of the NITs?
Yes, IIIT Delhi is better than some of the NITs, especially in terms of curriculum. Almost all NITs have outdated curricula while IIIT Delhi revises its curriculum frequently. Almost every engineering college has foundation courses like biology, chemistry, and physics in the first year which students have no choice but to study. These are a waste of time. IIIT Delhi introduces the CSE subjects right from the first year without wasting any time. Moreover, its curriculum is flexible so students get to choose what they want to study.
IIIT Delhi first-year students are taught Intro to Programming with Python, data structures and algorithms with Java, Shell Scripting, and Latex. Graph theory is introduced in the third semester followed by deep learning in the 4th sem. After this, an ECE student is free to choose any CSE stream and finally even sit for the CSE placements. No other engineering college offers such a flexible curriculum throughout India. IIIT Delhi also has an exceptionally good faculty base.
So, if you have an interest in IT, then IIIT Delhi is better than all NITs and many other good colleges in India.
Which college is better, CBIT, SRM or HITS (Hindustan University)?
I don't know much about CBIT and Hindustan University. But I won’t recommend you the NCR campus of SRM.
It is in fact not located in the National Capital Region. It is situated in Modinagar (Sikrikalan to be precise).The management of this college is very poor. You’ll be wasting a lot of energy for simple requests like getting statements attested, acquiring a recommendation letter, getting fee refunds, etc.
I studied CSE over there. The faculty for CSE is considered to be the best. However, in reality, most teachers don’t even have an idea of their specialization. You’ll find that the same teacher is taking classes for various specializations like Data Structures, Mobile Computing, Theory of Computation, Compiler, etc. New ideas aren’t encouraged in the classroom.
The hardware in CSE labs is top notch, but the software is all outdated. The hostels are decent but the mess food is disappointing. The hostel wardens do minimum to maintain discipline. For placements, you’ll have to travel all the way to Chennai, with no support from the management, and no accommodation facilities.
Thus, do not choose the NCR campus of SRM University, especially for the CSE program.
Which is better for ECE, NIT Surat, NIT Bhopal, or IIIT Allahabad?
For ECE, IIIT Allahabad is definitely the better alternative. The list beneath elaborates on why you should opt for IIIT, Allahabad.
Course Structure: During your 4 years of constant time at IIIT Allahabad, it will entirely be devoted to coding sessions, while at NIT, the professors are seen to teach subjects like chemistry, mechanics, engineering drawing, and several others mostly in the first year.
Coding culture: The coding culture of IIIT is famously known to be very ingenious and accomplished. Especially, the IT department can certainly be held in comparison to CSE of IITs. It has clearly been possible because of ardent students and few active professors in the stream of robotics, programming, and more.
Infrastructure: Since IIIT Allahabad is recently built, it has well-equipped labs as well as furnished hostels. There also are buildings such as the auditorium which definitely is worth seeing. Alongside technical, the social fest is additionally excellent on the campus. You will learn just as you take part.
Placement: The average package of IIIT, Allahabad is better than several other NITs. The average package is seen to range anything between 16 - 17 lakhs.
Furthermore, there is no additional factor concerning quota here. Thus, you are expected to find students from all over India and various inventive talents. However, the decision of opting is yet up to you.
In what aspects is IIIT Delhi better than DTU?
Good universities offer top faculty, curriculum, research opportunities, projects, hands-on and connections. Extracurricular facilities always come second.
The academic facilities at IIIT Delhi are far better. It offers a far better infrastructure too. DTU has a legacy of its own. But unfortunately, it has done nothing to improve its classrooms, labs, library, and hostels. Getting a hostel at DTU is difficult, and its hostel facilities are not even comparable to those of IIITD. The campus of DTU is definitely much bigger.
Campus life at IIITD is weaker because it is a new institute with a much smaller student population. However, it provides clubs, events, and fests like any other college. You’ll get all the sports facilities at IIITD.
If you wish for better academics and research opportunities, choose IIITD without hesitation.
Which is good for fire and safety engineering, NFSC Nagpur or CUSAT?
Both the institutes are government institutes and provide best in class education when it comes to Fire and safety engineering. They offer good placement opportunities in government and private organizations with good packages. However, NFSC Nagpur might be the choice to go due to the following reasons.
CUSAT:
Let’s discuss CUSAT first.
- The institute offers both fire and safety which includes more topics related to engineering courses which are very useful from a placements perspective.
- CUSAT is both AICTE and NBA accredited so has a good curriculum.
- One of the downsides is that in CUSAT fire drills do not take place regularly which is required by some companies during the placement process.
- Even though it is a very famous college in South India and has a good placement record, the infrastructure is a bit old compared to NFSC Nagpur.
- The competition here for the Fire and Safety course is more and you need to have a good rank in the CUSATCAT.
NFSC Nagpur:
- NFSC Nagpur has a course curriculum that is in line with the world’s top institutes with more focus given to physical standards and course syllabus.
- The institute focuses more on the fire drill process and physical fitness along with the academic part.
- It is a central government institute and provides the best placements for its students. The institute's alumni hold top positions in top fire organizations in India. The value of fire engineering here matches the IIT tag when it comes to fire engineering.
- It is very much necessary to have proper time management to align yourself with daily routines. All the hard work you put in will be reaped as many top companies including PSU’s come for recruitment here.
- BE in Fire course is a newly added one in this institute and competition is a bit less. The first few batches have passed with flying colors and have good placement records with the average package being around 10 LPA.
Considering all the facts above it is safe to say that NFSC Nagpur is the best option of the two. It is a central Govt. college under the Ministry of Home Affairs and has a rich alumni network in major public and private organizations.
How good is JBIMS as compared to IIMs, XLRI, and FMS in regard to faculty, placements, alumni, etc.?
You are advised to choose wisely when it comes to selecting the top MBA colleges. Most of the top colleges have excellent faculty who are experts in their fields and students highly appreciate their teachings. The alumni network is a crucial factor to consider, and it is best to speak to students and alumni of the colleges to get a better understanding.
The top-of-the-line MBA colleges include IIMs A, B, and C, which are considered untouchable at the moment. XLRI stands out for its HR batch, the opportunities it offers, and its excellent course structure.
If you are comparing FMS, JBIMS, and XLRI BM, you can consider your interest and preference. The author is biased towards JBIMS as her husband is from that college and she has close connections with the students and alumni. However, if you get admitted to XLRI BM, it is a great brand to be associated with, especially if you are interested in finance.
When it comes to choosing between JBIMS and FMS, you can opt for JBIMS if you are sure about pursuing finance, else you can choose either. Among the IIMs, the author rates IIM L above JBIMS and FMS and considers JBIMS and FMS above IIM I and K.
It is suggested not to rely on the ROI concept, as the benefits of a good education cannot be gauged in one year and do not follow arithmetic progression rules. Instead, you should look at the opportunities offered by the college and how it fits into your plan. Do not base your decision solely on rankings posted in newspapers and magazines or the highest packages offered during placement.
What should I choose between IIM Kozhikode and NITIE considering placements (acads: 88/77/64, 22 months exp in IT)?
While selecting an MBA college, all the other factors become secondary to placements.
Top MBA colleges have similar visiting companies and almost equal average packages. What makes a difference is whether you will be shortlisted for recruitment or not. The minimum grade requirement depends upon the average score of the respective batch.
Considering your academic record, you are an average student. At IIMK, the average batch score is around 90%. This is because it has some of the most brilliant students. But it is difficult for an average student to match such high grades. Especially because of the system of relative grading at IIMK.
NITIE follows absolute grading, and the batch average is around 80%. This makes it a haven for GEM. NITIE does not only cater to the supply chain industry, although it is the biggest name for this sector. Its graduates do very well in other sectors like Marketing as well.
Thus, I would recommend you select NITIE over IIM Kozhikode.
Which one is better: BIT Sindri or BIT Patna?
Two of my cousins went to BIT Sindri and BIT Mesra, Patna extension.According to both of their experiences, BIT Sindri is better than BIT Patna.Here is a comparison of the two institutes.
Fees:
One of my cousins spends one lakh per semester for his BE degree at BIT Patna. While the other completed his BTech degree for around 70,000-80,000 at BIT Sindri.
Type of Degree:
BIT Mesra offers BE degrees for engineering. While BIT Sindri offers BTech degrees for the same. There’s a slight difference between BE and BTech. BTech degrees are only delivered by Govt. colleges like IITs, NITs, etc. and BTech has an edge over BE.
Infrastructure:
BIT Sindri definitely offers better infrastructure despite the fact that it is quite an old institute.
Hostel Accommodation:
The hostel accommodation at BIT Sindri is not good. BIT Patna has much better hostel facilities.
Other Facilities:
Playgrounds, hangout spots, Wi-Fi facilities are far better at BIT Patna.
Placements:
Placement at both institutes is almost the same. My cousin from BIT Sindri was placed at Electrosteel. Whereas, the one from BIT Patna was placed at Infosys.
Campus Life:
Well, campus life at all the engineering colleges has the same pattern, i.e. friends, parties, fest, etc. These institutes are not the exception.
This information should be enough to choose one of these two institutes. So, choose according to your preference.
Comparing the Osmania medical college and Gandhi medical college, which is better?
It's difficult to say which medical college is "better" as it ultimately depends on individual preferences and needs. However, Osmania Medical College offers better exposure as students get to attend postings in 9 different hospitals till the time they complete their final year. Here, every specialty has its own hospital so students get to witness diverse cases during their time in the college. However, it's pretty tiring to travel to and fro to the hospital and then attend classes in the college in the afternoon.
Gandhi Medical College has a hospital within the college premises therefore saving a lot of time for students. However, the amount of exposure they get is limited.
So, it is better to choose Osmania Medical College over Gandhi Medical College.
Which is a better college, MVSR or Vasavi?
A few years back both MVSR and Vasavi College were affiliated with Osmania University. But now Vasavi College has become autonomous and functions separately.
- Vasavi College has good faculty than MVSR that is only the difference between Vasavi and MVSR.
- One disadvantage of Vasavi College is that it is very strict almost like school. MVSR Engineering College, on the other hand, has a complete college environment.
- Coming to the placements, placement records of both colleges are 90% similar to each other.
- Being an autonomous college, Vasavi College offers soft skills from the 3rd semester onwards. Whereas, MVSR offers placement training only after 3rd year.
Even though the colleges are similar and good you can select according to the location preference, fee structure, and other criteria.
