Which is better, IIT (BHU) Electronics, IIT Guwahati ECE, IIT Hyderabad Maths and Computing, or IIITH CSE?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : May 16th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Rather than giving you a direct answer, I am going to evaluate all The aforementioned institutes individually on the basis of some common parameters like placements, brand name, campus life, opportunities, and alumni.

IIT BHU ECE

  • Core placements are rare and students mostly build their profile for software development companies by becoming proficient in various programming languages, doing competitive coding, doing projects, and trying to build a computer science-inclined profile. A handful of students target core engineering roles.
  • The brand value is similar to other colleges mentioned
  • The campus is rather old and might disappoint freshers expecting a good college life.

IIT Guwahati ECE

  • Unfortunately, I have no knowledge about this Institute. However, I recommend you contact the seniors of IIT Guwahati for the same.

IIT Hyderabad Maths and Computing

  • Usually, MNCs attract top-tier software and financial services firms. If you are a hardworking student, it wouldn’t be difficult to secure amazing offers at top firms.

IIIT Hyderabad CSE

  • IIIT H has possibly one of the best computer science departments in the country. 
  • You have to do core computer science courses right from the first year.
  • Many students get selected for Google Summer of Code and IIIT Hyderabad has its alumni in top-notch firms. 
  • Being highly academically oriented, IIIT Hyderabad has minimal campus life and extracurricular activities.

Ultimately, it’s a matter of preferences and what you are looking for in your degree.

If you are looking for placement in the non-core sector then it is very good, it is one of the branches with most placement in IIT BHU. Otherwise, if you want to work in core companies you have to take the GATE exam as there are not many core companies offering placement to Chemical Engineering students in IIT BHU. This year 104 students got placed in chemical engineering, mainly in software companies. You can also bag PPO if you do well in your internships.

Some of the companies that came for placements are CSRL, Nucleus Software, PDPU, Fidelity, Nineleaps, Sokrati (business analyst profile), FIITJEE, ET MEDIALABS, TechnipFMC, Onix Capital, CGI, EMERGY Enviro Pvt.

What are the views of IIT-BHU students about Kashi Utkarsh?

Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : July 17th, 2023

My friend is an alumnus of IIT-BHU and he was a member of the Kashi Utkarsh too. He claims the organization is doing really well in eradicating the prevalent social constraints through the collective efforts of the group. The body convinces the financially weak families living in Varanasi slums to send their children to schools with the help of KU funding. 

As easy as this may sound, the actual process is very tiring. The families are hell-bent against education and persuading them is a big task. The relentless efforts of the team members of KU and their compassion to serve the weak have brought massive changes in society. 

However, some students of the institute don’t give KU the respect they deserve and are not ready to spend a single penny claiming that KU pockets the funds themselves. 

If you visit the social media handles of the KU members, you will find a list of children who get into the formal education system along with their school fees being paid by KU. Dictionary the constant assistance from professors like Prof. Ashim Mukherjee with KU helps KU stay strong.

Is there a freshers’ party at IIT BHU?

AS
Anusha Singh Posted On : August 13th, 2020
Studied Civil Engineering & Structural Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Varanasi (2020)

Yes, there is a Freshers party in IIT BHU, sophomores organize the party before the end of even semester. Which marks the end of the first years' freshers tag. The party offers a conducive environment for interaction between the students of both years. It also helps to develop a strong bond between them, which is crucial for the first years, as they rely on their seniors for guidance related to coursework and career choices. Although a lot of branches have discontinued this practice, it still is a popular way of interaction. The party-spot is usually a hotel with a swimming pool. This also gives an alternate name to this party- 'Pool Party.' Plenty of drinks and food options are available. The party usually lasts for 6-7 hours at a stretch. The time spent here is memorable and becomes a cherished memory of college life. The seniors don't practice ragging while at the party in any form. The freshers may be asked to give a formal introduction, but other than that, there is no record of ragging. All in all, it makes the party jovial and joyous for the freshers and is worth attending.
