Would you recommended someone to do MTech in VLSI from NIT GOA? What are placement/internship opportunities there for VLSI?
NIT Goa has a good teaching faculty for the VLSI stream. The faculty has done their PhDs from IITs and the campus also has very well-equipped labs so it provides a great learning experience.
Here is a brief overview of the NIT Goa.
| Category | NIT Goa |
| Companies Visited | Infosys, ZS Associates, Infotech, etc. |
| Highest Package | 15.9 lakhs |
| Average CTC | 7 lakhs |
Talking about the placements and internships part, Intel, NXP semiconductors offered a lot of internships in the past and there are still chances of these companies visiting again in the future. If you wish to get admitted for MTech in an NIT, it would be a better option if you opt for older and NITs first. If not, NIT Goa is also a good option.
Where can I find some of MU OET's (manipal university entrance exam) previous year question papers?
Arihant publishes a book that contains the previous years’ questions of MU OET. Along with the previous year's questions, there are also some sample papers. You can follow this book for your preparation. It is quite helpful and offers insights into the examination pattern.
As MU OET is an online examination, the university doesn’t usually provide the question papers.
Is it worth doing an M.Tech from DTU?
Whether or not you should consider doing an M.Tech from DTU depends on several factors. These factors are-
- Brand Name- If you wish for the tag of a prestigious institution to be attached to your degree, DTU is the right choice for you. My sister had done her B.Tech from a college that is not well known, so she decided to go for her M.Tech from DTU to get the DTU tag.
- Placements- DTU has a good placement record. This is especially true for the CS and IT branches.
- Poor Research Environment- If you wish to go for research, DTU will disappoint you. The faculty will only be there to ‘support’, you will be on your own. The research facilities are also not up to the mark. The seniors are helpful. Overall, the environment is not very nourishing for research endeavors.
Even the teaching is not up to the mark.
- Other options- An M.Tech degree from DTU is equivalent to an M.Tech degree from a good NIT. If Delhi is the place for you, you should choose DTU or the nearest good NIT.
- Preparation- If you wish to go for teaching as a profession, you will get ample time to prepare for your NET/JRF during your M.Tech from DTU.
Even if you wish to go for government jobs after your M.Tech, you will get ample time for your preparation.
For hostel facilities, food, location, library, and study environment, DTU is a good university.
You must consider all these factors before choosing or not choosing DTU for your M.Tech. Overall, DTU is a prestigious and well-known university.
What is the real average domestic package of FMS Delhi?
I will recommend you stop focusing on the average packages of any Institute be it FMS, IITs, or IIMs. This is because average packages are quite misleading. Two main reasons are
- It includes the average of all the students placed or eligible to be placed and not all of the students. Students who fail to graduate on time are not included in the calculation as they are not eligible for placement. So if you include all the students (placed + non-placed due to whatever reasons), the average will be much lower.
- Very high packages of only a few students increase the average. For instance, out of 3 students, one gets a package of INR 30 LPA whereas the other two get a package of only INR 3 LPA, so the average would total to 12 LPA. This average looks decent although the majority of students got extremely low packages.
Because of these reasons, I deem the average packages to be very misleading and should not be considered to determine the worth of a college.
Delhi University Vs Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University. Which one is better? Also comparing the standards of the crowd in these Universities.
It’s normal for you to get confused between DU and IPU. Both are well-reputed universities with high cutoffs. Choosing one of them can be made easy if you go through these differences:
-
Colleges: DU colleges are famous for their high cutoffs. If you have scored 97 and above you will surely get admission to an A-grade college. But anything below 97 (even a 95) will send you to a B-grade college. So it’s better to study in an A-grade college at IPU than in a B-grade college of DU.
-
Admission criteria: At DU, admissions are based on board exams, whereas at IPU you will have to give a CET (Common Entrance Test).
-
Internships: All the universities recommend internships but IPU has made it compulsory. These internships not only build your CV but might also give you full-time jobs.
-
Freelancing: At IPU most students prefer freelancing or part-time jobs to support their profession. The classes end early around 1 pm. Whereas in DU the timings of the classes vary a lot due to which you cannot spare time for freelancing much.
-
Fees: Pursuing a professional course at IPU will cost you more than that at DU. This is because of its excellent infrastructure and facilities.
-
Specialisation: DU is well known for its theoretical subjects like English, History, and Geography. Whereas IPU specializes in vocational courses like B. Tech, Journalism and Mass Communication, BBA, BCA, and MBA.
These points stand to prove that IPU is a better option if you are pursuing a professional course.
How is KSOM Bhubaneswar?
One of my friends was a student of this institute, and he told me that it is one of the worst institutes he has ever seen in his life.
The college administration is always focused on the NIRF ranking, which is 30, and how the Indian Ranking System is known to all. The teachers are fierce and don’t have a basic sense to behave with the student.
- My friend told me that there was a teacher, namely Abhishek Kumar, and if the student doesn’t call me Dr, then the student is gone. He demanded respect and wanted everyone to respect him anyhow. Even the staff were also talked behind him.
- He gave me another example of Mr. Jitendra Mohanty. He was one of this institute's unassuming people; he did not have a basic sense to respect his fellow students. He was the placement head, but he did not do anything to bring proper placement in this institute.
- Another one is Mrs. Gargi Banerjee, and she was the most biased teacher of this institute.
- Lastly, Mrs. Saptorshi Das was known as “The Oxford Women”. She always judged the student’s English, as she thought that she knows everything from the dictionary.
KSOM is one of the worst institutes, but if you are interested in doing MBA from this institute, then it still worth it, as college administration charges only 12LPA for MBA studied, including tuition fees and hostel (AC). But if you want to do BBA, then it is better to choose some other institute rather than KSOM because they charge 16 LPA for BBA studies, which is seriously worthless. Apart from this food, canteen, hostel, infrastructure and campus are pretty good.
Is Amrita University good for a B.Tech? I got 2800 in the entrance exam. Is going to VIT or Amrita better?
Amrita and VIT are very different from each other.
Amrita University has a controlled environment, high focus on academics, and good placements. For a bright career, Amrita is a great place. But its campus life is very dull. One has to find a source of entertainment and growth on our own.
VIT offers a vibrant and lively campus. But one has to mostly rely on self study.
Both the colleges are good for a B.Tech. Make a choice based on your own caliber and priorities.
How is Gautam Buddha University Noida in terms of faculty, placements, hostel, students, etc.?
Gautam Buddha University, Noida is a State Government University with a huge campus in Greater Noida.
Faculty:
- Faculties were from renowned institutes like JNU, NITs and even some held degrees from abroad.
- If there is a lack of faculties, a guest lecturer is arranged for the students.
Hostel:
- Students were allotted single rooms with washrooms on sharing basis wing wise.
- The hostels have Gym, Table Tennis, carrom, etc.
- There is availability of daily newspapers and magazines.
- There is a sports complex with state of the art facilities.
- The Hostels have been provided with LAN cables to have internet connectivity.
Placements:
- The placements were not good, but gradually it has improved.
- Now popular companies like TCS and IBM conduct mass recruitment, which ends up offering to almost all the students.
Overall the college is really good and appreciated by the students. The infrastructure is gorgeous, much better than some of the IITs and NITs. Lately it has been deteriorating with time due to the lack of maintenance, care, supervision and funds. A lot of the college students are into student politics which sometimes affect their academic performance.
Which is better: IISc, Bangalore or NUS, Singapore?
In terms of the world ranking, IISc is way behind from NUS. In QS world ranking IISc is ranked at 185th position whereas NUS is at 11th position.
NUS covers a wide variety of courses like Business, Arts and Social Sciences, Computing, Dentistry, Design and environment, Duke-NUS Medical School, Engineering, Integrative Sciences and Engineering, Law, Music, Public Health, Public Policy, etc. Whereas in IISC there are two centers- Science and Engineering. Both of them provide undergraduate, postgraduate, and Ph.D. programs. IISC mainly focuses on research work and provides only BS degrees at the bachelor level. NTU also has limited courses at bachelor level like Biology, Chemistry, Physics, etc.
NTU has good professors and has much better infrastructure, facilities, and global exposure. Because of this, the fee is very high in NUS if compared with IISc. The students are expected to deliver rather than understanding the basics. They have to study advanced subjects in the first semester itself at NUT.
IISc is best if you want to stay in India. But if you want global exposure then go for NUS.
