I am interested in marketing and operations. Which college should I choose for this - IMI Delhi or IIT Roorkee?

KG
Kushagra Gupta Posted On : March 3rd, 2023
PGDM in Banking and Financial Services, International Management Institute (Graduated 2020)

If you are a marketing enthusiast, IMI Delhi is a much preferable option for you. IIT Roorkee is known for its specialization in Operations and Systems only. To avail of an enriching B School experience one must try not to go for a technical institute unless it is IIT Bombay or IIT Delhi. While the Department of Managements of IITs do excel in Operations they lack in domains such as finance, marketing, HR, and strategic management. Only the exclusive B Schools excel in these specializations.

The main requisites of a rich B School life are

  • Clubs and committees
  • Excessive corporate exposure
  • Relevant curriculum

Corporate exposure is sought through corporate competitions, guest lectures , conclaves, and live projects owing to alumni connections and the location advantage of being in Delhi or Mumbai. At a B School the clubs and committees are initiated and operated by Management students themselves whereas, at IITs, it’s the younger BTech graduates that do so. 

So it’s the core B School life you will be missing out if you chose DOM at any Technical institute. No doubt the fees are much lower than an exclusive B School but you will be missing other things big time.

Which is better for CSE? (IIT Roorkee vs BITS Pilani vs IIT BHU vs IIIT Hyderabad)

AB

Lives in Bangalore

Every Institute has its unique aspects as well as its own strengths and weaknesses. Some factors to consider include the quality of the faculty, the resources available to students, the research opportunities, and the campus culture. 

IIT Roorkee, BITS Pilani, and IIT BHU CS are definitely excellent but IIIT Hyderabad wins the race when it comes to CS. It’s second only to IISc Bangalore, IIT Bombay, and Madras. Because of only 2 branches, the entire focus of the Institute is on CS only. The opportunities, ambiance, and faculty are aligned with the requirements for a good CS branch. Another good option is IIT BHU because of its high ROI.

Having known a few friends in all 4 institutes, I can confidently say that those who chose IIIT Hyderabad CS over IIT Roorkee are doing better now. The IIT tag certainly is helpful but only to a limited extent. The exposure provided by IIIT Hyderabad and its excellent placement opportunities overshadows the much coveted IIT Tag making it a better choice among all institutes. But those looking for stability, facilities, academia, and vast opportunities can go for IIT Roorkee.

Which is better in terms of placements for an MTech in computer science, IIT Roorkee or NIT Surathkal?

RS
Radhika Srivastava Posted On : April 14th, 2023

Both IIT Roorkee and NIT Surathkal are highly reputed institutes, and both have good placement records for their MTech in computer science programs. However, based on the available data, IIT Roorkee has a slight edge over NIT Surathkal in terms of average placement packages.

In the most recent placement season, IIT Roorkee had an average placement package of around Rs. 16 LPA for its MTech in the computer science program, with companies like Amazon, Goldman Sachs, and Microsoft visiting the campus for recruitment. On the other hand, NIT Surathkal had an average placement package of around Rs. 13 LPA, with companies like Microsoft, Intel, and Deloitte visiting the campus for recruitment.

Both IIT Roorkee and NIT Surathkal are excellent choices for an MTech in computer science, and students can expect good placement opportunities from both institutes. However, based on the available data, IIT Roorkee seems to have a slightly better placement record for this program.

Which one is better, IIT BHU mechanical vs IIT Mandi, Ropar electrical vs IIT Roorkee civil, considering college life and placements?

AG
Ashish Gupta Posted On : April 14th, 2023
Lives in Roorkee, Uttarakhand, India

Comparing the different IITs and their branches is a complex task, as there are various factors to consider.

Firstly, in terms of college life, both IIT BHU and IIT Mandi have their unique characteristics. IIT BHU has a rich history, with a large and diverse student population, while IIT Mandi is known for its serene location and a close-knit community of students. The campus life of both these institutes is quite active, with various clubs and societies organizing events and activities throughout the year. However, the experience of college life is subjective, and it ultimately depends on an individual's preferences.

Regarding placements, both mechanical and electrical engineering are considered core branches, and hence, have good placement opportunities in their respective fields. IIT BHU has a well-established reputation in the field of mechanical engineering, with several companies recruiting students for internships and full-time roles. Similarly, IIT Mandi has seen significant growth in its electrical engineering department, with several reputed companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Texas Instruments recruiting students.

IIT Roorkee is another top-ranked institute, known for its excellent civil engineering department. Civil engineering is also a core branch and has decent placement opportunities in the industry. However, compared to mechanical and electrical engineering, civil engineering is considered to have relatively fewer job opportunities in the private sector. Nonetheless, IIT Roorkee has a good track record of placing students in reputed government organizations such as CPWD, NBCC, and DMRC.

Both IIT BHU Mechanical and IIT Mandi Electrical have excellent placement opportunities and active campus life. However, choosing between the two ultimately depends on an individual's interest and preference. Similarly, while IIT Roorkee Civil has good placement opportunities in the government sector, it may not have as many options in the private sector compared to the other two branches.

studied at National University of Singapore

Out of all the institutes you mentioned, IIIT Hyderabad steals the limelight owing to its excellent CS branch. Here are a few reasons why I consider IIIT Hyderabad better than IIT Roorkee, BITS Pilani, and IIT BHU.

  • IIIT Hyderabad students are taught subjects related to their domain right from the first year, unlike IITs that teach common fundamental courses in the first year.
  • Regular evaluations keep your academic performance in check 

Additionally, what may be the "best" institution for one person may not be the best for another. So it’s better to follow where your heart goes.
