Which should my daughter choose, a CSE from IGDTUW or a ECE from NSIT/DTU/IIIT Delhi?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : October 7th, 2023

The choice between CSE from IGDTUW and ECE from NSIT/DTU/IIIT depends on the goals of your daughter. If she is planning to pursue higher studies like MS or a Ph.D., then IIIT Delhi is a decent choice as it’s a research-oriented college. But if she is looking for a job, then IIIT Delhi will offer limited opportunities. This is because getting a job in Core ECE companies like Western Digital and Qualcomm is not easy, as these companies prioritize master students. A few talented students do get placed in Software firms.

 In IIIT Delhi first year is the same for both CSE and ECE during which the students are taught Introduction to Programming, System Management, Computer Organisation, Data Structure, and Digital Circuits. Your chances of placement also depend on your CGPA which should be preferably above 7. IIIT Delhi offers the flexibility to choose the CSE courses, provided that you complete the minimum credits requirement in the last two years of B.Tech for the degree.

In all, I feel, that NSIT and DTU will offer great job opportunities because of their brand name but IIIT Delhi will teach you new things and also offer research opportunities

So it’s best to go for NSIT or DTU or IIIT Delhi. Choose wisely.

Which is better, Great Lakes Chennai or Gurgaon for PGDM?

RS
Ruhee Singhania Posted On : July 11th, 2023
studied at Great Lakes

I once visited the campus of Great Lakes Chennai and I knew right then that it was going to be my dream college. I also looked up at the Gurgaon campus and it was clearly visible how the infrastructure of the Chennai campus was way superior to that of the Gurgaon campus. 

The Chennai campus is located away from the hustle and bustle of the city in a serene location around 60km from Chennai. This beautiful campus spreads across 27 acres and the tranquility can be felt by all nature lovers. I am attaching some pictures that will do justice to the beauty of this campus

The pictures alone cannot testify to the campus's beauty so it's recommended you visit it once. 

Ultimately, both campuses offer equal opportunities and education the only difference lies in the infrastructure and quality of campus life.

Which one of these two is better for M.Sc in physics, IIEST Shibpur or NIT Durgapur? Are there any placements for M.Sc students at IIEST?

AS
Akriti Sinha Posted On : August 16th, 2022
B.Tech in Civil Engineering, National Institute of Technology Durgapur

NIT Durgapur will be better for an M.Sc Physics. The quality of academics and exposure offered is better than any of the non-tech institutes in the region. Most students prepare for competitive examinations like NET, GATE, JEST, BARC, ISRO, etc. NITD also has collaborations with many national institutes and research labs. 

Yes, IIEST offers placements to MSc students. But the salary packages offered aren’t very high.

Which is better, BITS Hyderabad CSE or BITS Hyderabad ECE?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : December 22nd, 2023

As a class 12th student, it is normal that you have a very limited knowledge of different fields in engineering.

Out of 8 semesters, the first 2 are the same for all branches at BITS. During these 2 semesters you’ll be taught one fundamental course from each branch and some engineering mathematics. In the 7th and 8th semester, you’ll choose open electives from your branch or other branches. 

Now as for placements, you can choose some CS courses as your open electives during your ECE, which will help you for IT placements. Even though at present, people tend to focus only on CSE, the demand for ECE will rise in the coming years due to increasing growth in IOT, Smart sensors, Robotics and Communication systems.

Here are the important courses from both these branches-

  1. CSE- Object Oriented Prog (JAVA), Logic In Computer Sc., Discrete Structures, Principles Of Programming Languages, Data Structures & Algorithms, Database Systems, Computer Networks, Computer Architecture.
  2.  ECE- Electrical Machines, Electromagnetic Theory, Electronic Devices, Communication Systems, EM Fields & Micro Engineering, Control Systems, Signals & Systems, Microelectronic Circuits, Common Courses Of ECE and CS, Digital Design, Microprocessors and Interfacing.

 You can research a bit and then decide which branch will suit you the best. Overall, both these branches are really good, and you’ll have an amazing time at BITS Hyderabad.

Which IIM should I prefer, Ranchi/ Rohtak/ Raipur/ Udaipur? And why?

AS
Arshdeep Sehra Posted On : January 25th, 2023
Research Analyst at Pattern Drive Private Limited (2019–present)

Out of the IIMs like IIM Rohtak, IIM Raipur, and IIM Udaipur, IIM Ranchi may be the best choice for several reasons. Firstly, despite being an IIM, IIM Ranchi is relatively new and is still working towards building a reputation for itself. On the other hand, IIM Ranchi is an established institution that has been around for longer and can be trusted for its campus, faculty, and placements. 

Additionally, as a newer institute, IIM Ranchi may be more focused on making a mark and establishing itself as a top business school, which could potentially lead to a more dedicated and driven faculty and student body. Overall, while all the IIMs are highly regarded institutes, IIM Ranchi may offer a unique and potentially more rewarding experience due to its status as a newer institute.

Is it true that life at NIT Silchar is better than almost all the other NITs next to NIT Trichy?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : July 20th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

It’s true that NIT Silchar has a better campus life than other NITs and even NIT Trichy. It has the best infrastructure and facilities among all NITs offering a fairly better campus life. Here are some highlights of campus life here

  • A very high-speed Internet facility that is better than most IITs and NITs.
  • NIT Silchar has a relaxed and rather laid-back college life sparing you a lot of time for exploring yourself and things around you.

But that’s where it ends. Apart from college life, NIT Silchar is way behind academics and the research quality is also poor. The placement scenario is also not par with the top NITs although a little improvement can be seen over the last few years. The number and quality of recruiters and placement opportunities in general seem to have improved but still, they have a long way to reach NIT Trichy standards. 

NIT Silchar does have a peaceful campus life with a lot of free time, sports facilities, and a nature-friendly campus.
