Earth Science: Which is better at the IIT Roorkee: geological technology or geophysical technology?

SG
Shruti Gupta Posted On : April 12th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee (2020)

Before I talk about the credibility of both branches, let’s understand the basic difference between them. Geology is basically an observational science that tries to explain various phenomena and processes taking place at or near the surface of the Earth. On the other hand, Geophysics uses physical tools like Gravity, Potential, Seismic, Magnetic, etc. to study the interior of the Earth. It’s more like a branch of Geology itself. 

The coursework in Geological technology covers topics related to rocks, minerals, ores, volcanoes, mountains, oceans, glaciers, sediments, petroleum reservoirs, landslides, earthquakes, geoinformatics, and much more. The curriculum is similar to that of Applied Geology. The coursework in Geophysics comprises basic geological concepts along with detailed Geophysics concepts. Both branch students can opt for interdisciplinary courses as departmental electives. This initiative helps the students to gain an overall knowledge of Earth Sciences.

Placements-wise, both offer similar opportunities with the core recruiter being the same; the Energy Sector - Oil and Coal industry. Mineral exploration also offers core jobs to these two branches. The opportunities offered are equal and any difference stems from the individual's performance and not the branch’s credibility.

The majority of students are inclined towards research with the Geology students having an edge over Geophysical students in this aspect. For those seeking a management position or preparing for IAS, these two branches are the best owing to their light workload.

Which college is better, IET Lucknow or Thapar University, in the sense of placements and also campus life?

TS
Tanya Sikdar Posted On : August 5th, 2021
Studied at University of Mumbai (2019)

Both IET Lucknow and Thapar University are renowned colleges. Just as in every college they both have their strengths and weaknesses. As I got to know some people from these colleges while researching, I might be able to help you with your question.

  • The placement opportunities provided to students at Thapar are good, whereas at IET it is moderate. Visiting companies at Thapar for recruitment are extremely esteemed and reputed.
  • Both of these universities are known for their highly experienced and competitive faculty. 
  • The campus life is more or less similar in both colleges. 
  • The seniors make the campus life livelier and more energetic with their enthusiasm and passion.
  • If you want to prepare for GATE or CAT exams, IET will be a good choice.
  • Thapar’s infrastructure and facilities are much better than IET.
  • Placements of Civil and Mechanical branches are not good at IET. But CS and IT departments have comparatively better placements.
Categories IET Lucknow Thapar University
Course Fee 3.44 lakh 13.23 lakh
Highest CTC 16 LPA 25-26 LPA
Average CTC 6-7 LPA 12 LPA
Recruiting Companies ZS Associates, TCS, Cognizant, HCL, etc. Microsoft, Apple, Wipro, Infosys, etc.

You might lose interest while studying at IET as it is not as lavish as other private colleges or even like Thapar. But if you work hard enough you can reach greater heights, no matter which college you graduate from.

Which is best, AIIMS Jodhpur or JIPMER Pondicherry?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : June 10th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

My answer is specifically for the UG students. In my opinion, JIPMER Pondicherry is a better option than AIMS Jodhpur. It's one of the oldest Indian medical colleges. Let's go through a few pros and cons of the institute to explain further why this will prove to be a better option for you.

Pros

  • The first year strengthens your basics before providing a real-life clinical experience. This helps the students to understand things excellently.
  • Nd year students are introduced to clinics in one of the Apex hospitals of South India. The OPD flow is around 8-9000 here. You are given respect here even as a second-year student.
  • The third year witnesses the biggest academic, cultural, and sports fests of South India. This fest helps you meet medical students from all over the country and also improves your social skills.to take case histories daily. You will receive continuous guidance from the faculty and senior residents.
  • Internships at JIPMER give you hand on experience which most medical colleges fail to offer. A few tasks you will be assigned are taking blood samples, putting central lines, correcting hydroceles, catheterizing, and doing real-life CPR 
  • Pondicherry is a good place to take a break from studies and explore. It has amazing eateries 
  • The hostel life at JIPMER is that of freedom and privacy.
  • JIPMER also has the benefit of a PG quota

Cons

  • You will face a huge language barrier in Pondicherry to overcome which you will have to learn Tamil.
  • The food served in the mess is average.
  • The local airport provides a single flight only so you have to travel to Chandigarh while going home.

Any smart person can point out that the pros clearly overshadow the cons and thus we can say that while AIIMS Jodhpur is fast growing, it will take some time to match the level of top medical colleges like JIPMER, PGI, and AIIMS Delhi.

Is it good to join IBS Hyderabad or Siva Sivani Institute of Management, Hyderabad for doing an MBA

A
Admin Posted On : February 17th, 2023

SSIM is one of the premier B-schools in Hyderabad, which has over 30+ years of legacy and 5000+ alumni. Currently, I am in my 2nd year of the PGDM TPS program. SSIM helped me to become a corporate-ready individual by the end of 1st year itself which helped me to qualify for an internship at Deloitte and receive a Pre-placement Offer (PPO) just after the completion of my 1st year of PGDM.

SSIM Curriculum includes managerial competency development courses such as Experiential Learning, Book review sessions, Social projects, and Company Review Sessions to name a few. In our Experiential Learning Project during Term 1 we visited a manufacturing company. This was my first exposure to a corporate which helped me to understand how corporates function, get acquainted with the corporate culture, allocation and optimum utilization of resources, and most importantly corporates’ expectations of management graduates.

SSIM will nurture and groom students for long-term professional careers along with the vision of making socially responsible business leaders. Wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Which should I choose from NSS, NCC or NSO in NIT Jalandhar, and why?

PP
Pritish Poswal Posted On : December 2nd, 2022
B.Tech in Chemical Engineering B.Tech. in Electronics and Engineering, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Institute of Technology, Jalandhar (NITJ) (Expected 2023)

My brother is an NITJ alumni and he strongly recommends joining NCC in NIT Jalandhar. Some points that support his recommendation are:

  • Reserved qouta in various exams like SSC-CGL

  • Excellent exposure 

  • No compulsory attendance at athletic fest

  • Disciplined life that leads to self improvement 

  • A touch of life of Armed Forces

Apart from NCC, NSS is also a good option. But don’t go for NSO at all. There are hardly any benefits to avail of.

Which is better, IGDTUW CSE or NIT Calicut CSE?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : August 21st, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

I have a cousin who is currently working as a senior software engineer at Walmart. He is anex-student of IGDTUW. This alone negates all the claims of people stating IGDTUW is a below-average institute with poor infrastructure and zero placement opportunities. In fact, the first job he landed with campus placements was at Adobe. His juniors got placed in better companies like Google, Facebook, etc which speaks of the improving placement scenario.

Here is a comparative analysis of the placement scenario of these institutes 

Particulars

IGDTUW BTech CSE

NIT Calicut BTech CSE

Batch Strength

156

148

Students Placed

98

148

Highest CTC

INR 55 LPA

67.62 LPA

Average CTC

-

20.54 LPA

Its true that NIT Calicut may have an upper hand in terms of infrastructure, but in the long run, that does not really matter. A college can give you the wings to fly and it's on you how high you rise. Moreover, being a girl, you will have better opportunities in a girl's college like IGDTUW.

Yes, you will have to make small sacrifices like moving away from your home and adjusting to minimal facilities but in the end, it will be worth it!

Which college is better- Indira PIBM or RIIM Pune?

SR
Shekhar Roychowdhury Posted On : June 28th, 2021
MBA in Marketing, RIIM PUNE (2018)

Both Indira PIBM and RIIM Pune are reputed management institute. But as far as an MBA institution is concerned, check some facts to reach a conclusion. RIIM Pune is great in aspects like the faculty members, placement scenario, practical experience, etc. I can give you some insight into RIIM as I have a few friends there.

RIIM Pune is ranked among the top B-Schools of Pune. The curriculum is designed according to the industry’s needs.

Placements:

  • Here, the companies offer good placements with a package that starts with 5.5-5.6 LPA.
  • The highest packages that are offered are around 14-15 LPA.
  • The profiles that students are offered jobs in are- commercial credit, equity research, investment banking, business analysis, corporate finance, digital marketing, retail management, channel management, etc.
  • Two internship programs are offered at RIIM Pune, which are summer and winter internship programs. This gives you exposure to the corporate world.

Extracurriculars:

  • There are various skill enhancement certified programs that include- Business Intelligence/Analyst, SAP (Basic), Six Sigma, Advance Excel via Microsoft, etc.
  • A Digital Marketing Certification is also provided from IIM Kozhikode and another Management Development Programme from IIM Indore.
  • Here, in a 15-day residential program, you will get to learn great management skills from professors at IIM. You will get certificates for these programs too!

Student Intake:

Since the intake at RIIM Pune is limited, every student, individually, gets the attention of the professors. Other colleges take 500+ students where the attention of the professors is always divided. RIIM has a faculty set of highly experienced people.

Keeping industrial visits aside, there are frequent guest lectures by experienced professionals. The college focuses on creating managers who are street-smart and as far the curriculum of the college is concerned, it serves the purpose well.

RIIM is great as it makes the students ready for industry management in the future.

KJ
Kiran Jatolia Posted On : December 26th, 2022
B. Tech in Electronics Engineering (courses), Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (Graduated 2017)

Although all the B Schools you mentioned are very good, the one I would personally recommend is FORE. Some points that favor my recommendation are

  • Location-based crowd: All the other colleges you mentioned have students mainly from Mumbai. But FORE located in New Delhi, the heart of the country has students from all over India.
  • Placement: Here’s a tabular comparison of the average and highest CTC of the colleges. 

College

Highest package

GIM

INR 12.1 LPA

INR 30.2 LPA

FORE

INR 14.04 LPA

INR 41 LPA

KJ Somaiya

INR 10.98 LPA

INR 26.50 LPA

SIBM Bangalore 

INR 10.60 LPA

INR 32 LPA

  • Fees: 

GIM: ?18,31,200

FORE: Rs.16,98,000

KJ Somaiya: ?9.59 Lakhs (one year)

SIBM: INR 3.53 L - 16.62 L(for 2-3 years)

FORE offers industry oriented certifications and International Immersion Program. So looking at the overall picture we can say all 4 colleges give each other tough competition but FORE takes the lead.
