How did Abhay Gupta get into Google despite being a student of tier-III engineering college i.e. IET DAVV Indore?
After reading the question, I searched for this person and visited his LinkedIn account, which narrates the whole story.
It is a misconception that Google doesn't hire graduates from Tier-3 colleges. Well, this person is not just a graduate as he has 4 years of experience in the software field.
You cannot define success by the college you studied in. If you are hardworking and have potential, success will come automatically. There are various examples of successful people from not-so-famous colleges. Not every IAS is a B.Tech, not every scientist in ISRO, DRDO, etc. is from Tier-1 college.
Having a degree from a Tier-1 college does not automatically grant you success. Even a gold medalist has to earn by working.
Many people are not fortunate to study in a prestigious college or university. It does not make them less successful.
How's an MTech in industrial engineering from IIT Delhi?
IIT Delhi M.Tech program in Industrial Engineering covers a wide range of topics such as statistics, probability, optimization, simulation, etc thus attracting more and more recruiters every year.
Of all the fields, a major part of the batch prefers Analytics mainly because of the packages offered and the kind of companies visiting for jobs related to Analytics. Analytics companies arrive way before supply chains and other companies and most students prefer going for Analytics only.
However, the IE branch has much better scope in other Institutes like NITIE, IITB, and IITK. IIT Delhi also isn’t very lacking and its placement statistics are a testament to the same.
Around 80% of the entire batch was placed this year with the major recruiters include
- Accenture
- Barclays Bank
- Capgemini
- Deloitte
- Flipkart
- Hindustan Unilever
- ICICI
- JP Morgan Chase
Coursework: The coursework lacks diversity in comparison to the IEOR at Bombay or IEM at Kanpur. But the best part is the rigorous projects part of the curriculum that begins right from the first year itself. These projects are based on real-life problems in society covering fields such as healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and public policy while using modern programming tools such as Python, Matlab, Java, C, etc.
Some major courses offered in the program are
- Probability and statistics
- Linear and Non-linear optimization
- Industrial Engineering Systems
- Supply Chain Management
- MPC (Maintenance Planning and Control)
- Project Management
- OPC (operations Planning and Control)
- SMS (Stochastic Modeling and Simulation)
- Value Engineering and life cycle costing
- RAM (Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability)
Considering decent placements and rigorous coursework, MTech in Industrial Engineering at IIT Delhi is not a bad idea.

How is your life after IMT Ghaziabad?
I know a friend who led a stagnant work life before joining IMT Ghaziabad. After completing his MBA from IMT Ghaziabad, he was offered a much higher salary. His profile did improve but then life challenged him with other problems. He worked as a BA in an American firm. After working for 2 years he finally switched to a Big 4 firm.
IMT Ghaziabad is an old Institute and one’s career prospects depend more on their own motivation and determination here. If you are serious about succeeding you can make the best of the 2 years here and get good roles.
I have seen many students able to get placed because they belonged to the lowest level in class and many same students who were mediocre in studies but managed to grab good roles. So luck is another factor that determines your prospects.
Most of the IMT Ghaziabad alumni I Know are doing great in their careers and belong to the topmost level of their organizations. INT Ghaziabad has impacted the lives of many and its alumni are a living example of the same.
What are some disadvantages of studying in IIIT Delhi?
IIIT Delhi is a small college with a small batch size in all programs. This means you will be under the surveillance of your professors more than your counterparts in colleges with huge batch strength. The small batch size also translates to more transparency while grading. Every student will have to work hard to be recognized and you cannot chill because of the rigorous academics.
Another difficulty you might face is that you will have to choose from an excellent variety of courses every semester. You will find this very challenging considering that all the courses will intrigue you and you will have to choose only a few of them.
Honestly, I feel both these disadvantages are actually advantages in disguise. A small batch size also means a better student-teacher ratio and a wide variety of courses makes the curriculum flexible. So, it can be safely concluded that IIIT Delhi has no major disadvantages as of now.
Which is the worst department of SVNIT Surat?
It may sound a bit philosophical, but it is the truth. A department is never the worst or best, it is the student who can be termed as such.
These departments can not compete against each other because only when each one of them works as a team, an invention is born. When five fingers of your hand work together, only then can you achieve something. Even in terms of monetary funding, one can not assess a department. If one’s project is worthy of recognition and funding, one will get it. For this, the department can not be held responsible.
Each department of SVNIT will provide you with a wonderful platform, but the results will have to come from your side.

There haven’t ever been such cases where an outside Delhi student wasn't able to fit in. It’s better not to be influenced by random YouTube videos, social media, and Bollywood. You will be studying with some of the smartest and warmest people!
How is 5 years CSE dual degree in IIT Kharagpur in comparison to IIT Roorkee CSE?
My answer might contrast with the opinion of many. Most people go after IIT Roorkee dual degree and consider it a highly esteemed program. In my opinion, the dual degree itself is not a very good option although IIT Roorkee is an excellent institute.
People forget that recruiters do not consider 4-year or 5-year degree holders any differently and offer them similar profiles. In Fact, some recruiters even consider you inferior to BTech students. Moreover, unlike others getting PPOs a dual degree student is not allowed to even sit in the interviews during this time because you won’t be able to join for at least 2 more years.
Academically, both B.Tech and Dual degrees are similar and the 5th year usually comprises project work and wasting time. When it’s time for interviews you are made to sit with juniors and that lowers your confidence all the more. Moreover, if you are planning to attempt CAT or UPSC, this degree is useless. The only advantage probably is the additional one-year college life experience.
For ISI MSQE exam, can we apply for either Delhi or Kolkata, or both?
While choosing between Kolkata or the Delhi campus students should apply to any one of them and not in both of them. Some commonly known facts regarding this are: -
- Both ISI Kolkata and ISI Delhi are very good for pursuing Masters in Economics.
- Both of the institutes have excellent faculty in their fields.
- Placements for both the institutes are really good, especially for PhDs.
- The interview list for ISI Delhi has been found to be bigger than that of ISI Kolkata
People believe that it is easier to get into ISI Kolkata when compared to ISI Delhi because of the location and fewer competitors for the institute which is absolutely wrong. Both the institutes have the same cutoff and entrance exam. The criteria for the selection of students is also the same in both the institutes therefore it is equally hard for the students to get into both.
According to a report published it has been observed that students find it easier to get into ISI Kolkata when compared to ISI Delhi. The cutoff criteria change every year and for last year it was: -
- For ISI Delhi the cutoff was said to be near 400 out of 600 according to the stats released in the official page.
- For ISI Kolkata the cutoff was said to be near 310 out of 600 from the same source.
Overall ISI Delhi is the better option here but ISI Kolkata is the safer one.
