Should I study ECE at IIIT, Allahabad or IT at BIT, Mesra?

UL
Urooj Lal Posted On : March 26th, 2021
Studied at Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra (2019)

An ECE at IIIT, Allahabad is preferable to an IT at BIT, Mesra. Of course, the choice of the branch is subjective and should be chosen based on our own interests and preferences. But still, a degree at IIIT Allahabad is much more valuable than that of BIT Mesra.

The best thing about IIIT, Allahabad is its focus on research and thus will provide you the extra edge over other similar level candidates. The course structure is very focused and you will get subjects such as integrated robotics and many others. IIIT, Allahabad also offers the best facilities to hone your programming skills.

The table below will give a few stats of both the institutes.

BIT Mesra

IIIT Allahabad

Average CTC (2019 - 2020)

INR 11.76 LPA

INR 20.83 LPA

Highest CTC (2019 - 2020)

INR 49.76 LPA

INR 43 LPA

NIRF Ranking (2020)

38

103

And then the fee structure of IIIT Allahabad is also much more affordable, 1.65 lakhs first-year fee to BIT Mesra’s 2.85 lakhs first-year fee, compared to BIT Mesra which gives the degree much more value with all the facilities, research opportunities, and placements it has to offer. Thus IIIT Allahabad is favored.

Which one is better, IIM Visakhapatnam or Nagpur?

MJ
Mayank Jain Posted On : January 16th, 2023
MBA in Executive MBA (degree) & International Business (college major), Indian Institute of Management Shillong (Graduated 2017)

IIM Visakhapatnam is not better than IIM Nagpur yet it is at a level with it. There are many reasons why people choose it over Nagpur.

  • It is the best among the newest IIMs. IIM Visakhapatnam’s spectacular growth and placement statistics are a testament to that fact.
  • The horse-shoe-shaped classrooms are the highlight of its infrastructure. There are 2 whiteboards with projectors each. The new IIMs still lack this facility
  • The hostel facilities are also very clean and hygienic with a variety of cuisine offered at the mess. 
  • The location in itself is a USP of the college. The serene surroundings with spectacular views and fresh air attract many nature lovers.

So if your expectations are low regarding placements and facilities, IIM Visakhapatnam is the best new IIM you can go for.

Which should I choose, mechanical engineering at new IITs or engineering design at IIT Madras?

AS
Arati Sinha Posted On : March 29th, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

Engineering Department usually has more companies visiting for placements than IIT Roorkee and the condition is worse in new IITs. The average package is also at par with the packages of most branches.

In fact, any branch at an old and big IIT like Madras is better than CS at new IITs. the packages of CS at new IITs are on the same level as packages offered in normal branches of old IITs. Moreover, the campus life and exposure offered in big old IITs can never be compared to the new IITs which are still struggling to reach IIT standards in terms of their infrastructure and placements. 

Secondly, Engineering Design is not completely mechanical, but rather a combination of electrical and mechanical. This department has the highest number of labs and assignments. and thus a lot of assignments.

Overall, the coursework pertaining to the department is full of rigor and requires much more effort than other branches. If you are ready for that kind of commitment, go for it but if you eventually want to do coding, chose an easier branch that will give you enough time to learn to code.

Which college is better, the University of Cincinnati or Miami University?

MS
Monica Sharma Posted On : February 3rd, 2021
B.A Psychology, University of Cincinnati (2019)

Both the institutes have different characteristics which distinguish them from one other; so you have to decide which college you want to depend on your needs, requirements and the kind of experience you wish to seek. Miami University may be tough for undergraduate education but the University of Cincinnati has great graduate schools. There is a lot of diversity at the University of Cincinnati and the number of international students is also very high. 

Miami University is a public institution situated in Oxford. The area around the school is rural. Most of the students live on-campus or in nearby apartments off-campus. Their fraternity or Sorority culture is solid and existent in the school. You’ll find their campus beautiful and full of activities.

The University of Cincinnati is also a public school with an urban setting. The university’s medical school is pretty good and they have a large engineering school. Other than that, their law school, school of architecture and design, nursing school, also have a great reputation as well. There are a lot of research opportunities available to you if you are keen on engineering or sciences. The Med school at the institute also offers great chances for students willing to study in a medical-related field and is renowned for its faculty.

Here is the comparison between the University of Cincinnati and Miami University:

Content University of Cincinnati Miami University
Average Cost of Attendance USD 43,490/Year USD 54,916/Year
Acceptance Rate 88% 74%
Graduation Rate 68% 80%
National Universities Rankings #143 #103
Median Starting Salary USD52,900 USD54,600
Top Recruiters Aramark Corporation, Ashland Inc, Bestek Global LLC, Fifth Third Bank Barnes Dennig, Ernst & Young, PwC, RSM, etc.

Both the universities have solid departments but the atmosphere and experience at each place are surely different. If you are keen on Humanities or teaching, then you should choose Miami University. The institute excels in producing educators for a long time and Western College surely added a lot to this factor as well.

If you want to pursue undergraduate education, a better option for you would be to visit the schools if you can. It may help you decide whether or not you will be able to connect to the faculty or the students. You should choose the college where you will fit in best.

Is Madras Institute of Technology also considered as Anna University? Are CEG and MIT differentiated in terms of the brand value of Anna University?

YS
Yashaswi Singh Posted On : December 16th, 2022
BE in Manufacturing, College of Engineering Guindy, Tamil Nadu, India (Graduated 2016)

Yes, MIT is a part of Anna University, despite the fact that, unlike the other three, it is not physically located on the university campus (CEG, ACT, and SAP).

Regarding the second question, there is no discrimination at Anna University as a whole because each student from each of the four campuses is treated equally, just as the NIRF does with Anna University. However, college is important when applying for jobs or for higher education, and a CEG student would unquestionably be a more desirable candidate because CEG is more prestigious and was the first to be established.

However, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, a distinguished alumnus of MIT, is the reason for its greater fame.
