What should I prefer: IT at NIT Raipur or a CS at IIIT Jabalpur?
Nowadays, engineering aspirants give more importance to the brand and tag of the college rather than the academic ambiance they offer. Like sheep in a herd, they flock to colleagues that have higher rankings and give them a tag to boast about in the process, They forget that for education, the tag does not matter.
IIITs are the most neglected institutes in this process. IIITs like Jabalpur, Allahabad, Kancheepuram, and Gwalior have been set up by MHRD that focus primarily on studies in the IT sector, unlike NITs that cater to various branches of engineering. IIITs thus have a CS-oriented culture, curriculum, and opportunities. This may not be the case for NITs that have many branches.
Although NIT Raipur is older than IIIT Jabalpur, it's not at par with IIIT Jabalpur at least in terms of its Computer Science education. IIIT Jabalpur has much better placements for the CSE department than the IT branch of NIT Raipur. Moreover, IIIT Jabalpur has collaboration with Universities in Japan, unlike NIT Raipur.
Here is a brief comparative analysis of both institutes
|
Particulars |
NIT Raipur |
HBTU |

INR 1.59 Lakhs (BTech 1st Year Fees) |

So, IIIT Jabalpur would be a better option.
Is it better joining IIM Trichy (new IIM) rather than joining Infosys as a system engineer?
Preparing for the CAT again is a hefty task and requires a lot of motivation. So I will suggest that you forgo your offer to join only under the following circumstances
- You have a good past academic record. IIMs lay great weight on past academics and it is something that cannot be changed even after getting 100 percentile in CAT.
- If you are confident that you can prepare for your CAT alongside working at Infosys. That company is said to have an enormous workload so you need to be sure that you can prepare for CAT efficiently simultaneously.
- If you are targeting older IIMs like A,B,C,K,L
If your situation does not involve any of the three cases then going for IIM Trichy is a wise decision. It’s a second-generation IIM and older than the newly established IIMs. Moreover, you will still get the IIM tag, and chances are that by the time you pass out from the institute, it has gained more reputation.
Should I take mechanical engineering in PEC, Punjab engineering college or Thapar University?
One of my friends had the same options a few years back and chose Mechanical at PEC. Here are the reasons why.
- The batch size of Thapar is huge. There are almost 500 seats in the Computer Branch.
- The closing cutoff is lower for Thapar University.
- Chandigarh will offer more exposure in comparison to Patiala. You will have more opportunities to prepare for higher studies like M.Tech or MBA.
- PEC is quite reputed among students. It is even considered better than some NITs.
- PEC has a better placement record as compared to Thapar.
Here are the recent placement highlights of the institutes.
| Parameters | Thapar University | PEC |
| No of companies participated | 264 | 145 |
| Top recruiters | Microsoft, IBM, Wipro | Microsoft, RBS, Goldman Sachs |
| Highest package offered | INR 43 LPA | INR 42 LPA |
| Average package offered | INR 8 LPA | INR 10 LPA |
Hope this helps you in making the decision.

Which is the best college to apply for a one-year construction management course in Canada, George Brown, Centennial, or Fanshawe? Do all three offer internships?
My brother is currently pursuing the Construction Engineering Technician (T161) course from George Brown College. It is a two year course, and an extra year places it into an advanced diploma (T105).
George Brown offers plenty of job opportunities from a variety of construction companies across Canada. The college regularly holds a job fair in which prominent companies like Bird Construction, Aecon, EllisDon, PCL, etc. take part. A large number of alumni from our college work at one or the other of these reputed companies.
All the three colleges offer internships, but according to my brother, George Brown is a better option for the construction management program.
Which is better in terms of the syllabus, placements and college life: NSIT in ECE vs BIT Mesra in CSE?
My friend did his B.Tech ECE from NSIT. According to him, NSIT ECE is a better choice than BIT Mesra CSE. Here are the reasons for his preference for NSIT ECE-
- Location- NSIT graduates have greater access to major industries due to its closeness to cities like Noida and Gurugram. For CAT, GRE, GMAT, etc., Delhi has a good coaching center facility.
- Brand Value- The brand value of NSIT is greater than that of BIT Mesra.
- Faculty at NSIT - You will be taught by some of the best professors in the country at the NSIT ECE department. Their letter of recommendation will open numerous doors for you.
- Seniors at NSIT- The seniors at NSIT are very helpful. Some of your seniors working at top firms may even refer you for an internship/job interview.
- Classes are held regularly at NSIT- There is a 75% attendance criteria at NSIT. The teachers also come for the lectures regularly.
- Coding Culture at NSIT- The coding culture at NSIT is great and their coders make it to GSoC every year. Some of them are also ranked highly on sites like TopCoder and CodeChef.
- Placements- The placements at NSIT are better than BIT Mesra. ECE students from NSIT get placed in core electronics companies, tech, and non-tech firms. Some of these companies are- Texas Instruments, Airtel, KPMG, Bain, BCG, McKinsey, TCS, Maruti Suzuki, Expedia, Google, Uber, etc.
- The ECE course has been recently updated by NSIT as per the industry standards. You will get to choose among electives from the first year itself. The electives range from Finance to Sports.
- NSIT is the only Indian college to send delegations to the prestigious Harvard MUN.
Thus, I would suggest you choose NSIT ECE over BIT Mesra CSE.
I have got 83% in CAT 2016 and 98 % in XAT. Is it worth to go for IMT Ghaziabad or XIMB this year or should I try for 1 more year?
It crucially depends on where in life an individual stands at present. However, if you anyhow are on the side with basically lower work experience, then you can be expected to take another chance likewise, but if you are on the higher side, then you can definitely concentrate on converting either IMT Ghaziabad, or XIMB without further hesitation as such.
IMT Ghaziabad is known to accept students on the basis of their CAT, XAT or GMAT scores. Basically, other than that, taking a minimum chance would primarily be based on your capabilities, encouragement and intrinsic or extrinsic factors that are moreover expected to affect over the 12 months which are yet to pass on in the institute you are enrolled in.
However, on the very contrary, if you have obtained 98 percentile, then you also can try for XLRI. Besides, if you recently have felt that the CAT score you have acquired is mainly below your actual capability, then trying again will not affect your eligibility in the future.
Which college is better for an MBA- USMS (IPU) or IITM (IPU)?
USMS is considered the better one than IITM. It is an on-campus MBA school on the IPU campus and has the best faculty and infrastructure.
All the teachers are well qualified and students get good exposure to activities and corporate interactions essential for an MBA graduate.
The top recruiting industries visiting USMS are Banking, IT, Retail, Marketing firms, Finance Corps, and startups. Companies like Grail, Evalueserve, Tata, etc. used to visit the campus for recruitment.

It is suggested that you go for USMS, as it will provide you with better industrial exposure, from which you can learn the corporate working style, very early on in your career.
