Why is IIM Lucknow reputed to have the most rigorous MBA programme in India?

EG
Epil Gagrai Posted On : April 2nd, 2024

Not just IIM Lucknow but all the IIMs and the top B-Schools offers a rigorous MBA program. MBA in itself is a very challenging course because it is designed to prepare the students for the corporate world, to handle stress and to manage their time efficiently. 

IIM Lucknow MBA is considered challenging because of it comprehensive curriculum. There are lectures from morning to evening covering all the courses. It is also mandatory for the students to maintain a 80% attendance. The classes are usually interactive and the faculties expect the students to come prepared to the class with the topics that will be covered. 

Then there are rigorous case studies, group project, and presentations, which demands significant time and effort. All the faculty members have a different way of teaching, some can conduct surprise test in every session or some go with presentations and case studies. 

Then there are term exams and the preparation of summer internship, which is also a part of the curriculum. The competitive environment and the networking expectations also makes the course difficult for the students. 

The majority of the time of the students is consumed within the classroom. Most of the free time is also spend in group discussions for projects and presentations. So students usually struggle to find time for themselves, which makes than feel that the course is difficult. But within a few months most of the students adjust to this life and are able to manage time both for studies and leisure work like sports, club activities etc.

How good is PG Diploma in Tool design at NTTF?

PB
Preity Bisht Posted On : September 10th, 2021
Studied Tool and Die Making at Nettur Technical Training Foundation (2019)

NTTF is a good institute for the Tool Design course. The PG is Tool Design is a one-year course. According to one of my friends studying at NTTF, make sure your foundations in mechanical engineering are strong. Also, here are some facts you should keep in mind before deciding:

  • Most of the faculty are retired managers or employers from organizations that are very well known.
  • The knowledge you will get from NTTF would be immense and if you pursue mechanical engineering from this institute then you will get ample opportunities to explore. 
  • Coursework is rigorous at NTTF.
  • NTTF has a great brand value but sadly it is on the decline. 
  • The placement scenario is declining at NTTF and the students get internship opportunities instead of full time jobs. 
  • Only the tool design program attracts recruiters to the campus.
  • In the case of academics, due to the decreasing brand value the technical staff is declining in numbers. 
Categories PG Diploma in Tool Design at NTTF
Course Fee INR 78,000
Highest CTC 5 LPA
Average CTC 1.5 LPA

However, B.Tech degree is the best degree in the institute and it is very efficient in getting the students placed. A B.Tech degree from NTTF is respected by companies.

Which one is better for computer science and engineering and why: VNIT Nagpur, NIT Calicut, or NIT Rourkela?

AS
Ayushi Sehgal Posted On : March 1st, 2024

I completed my B.Tech CS from NIT Rourkela, so I can only speak for my own college.

For placements, NIT Rourkela is probably behind the other two because of its locational disadvantage. The lack of good connectivity creates difficulty for IT/software firms to reach Rourkela during placement season. Despite that, last year, the average package for B.Tech CS was Rs. INR 21.87 LPA at NIT Rourkela. This is quite a decent figure.

Moreover, I can assure you of the excellent research and infrastructural facilities at NIT Rourkela. It is probably better than the other two in this regard, and can even be compared to NIT Trichy. A good number of students from the CS department get offered foreign research internships. Some of them even end up receiving an offer for higher studies from universities in the US and Europe. 

NIT Rourkela is a good option for B.Tech CS if you want to pursue higher studies, but it might not be the best in terms of placements.

What is your review of NIT Puducherry (CSE)?

GK
Garima Kapoor Posted On : October 6th, 2021
B.Tech in Computer Science, National Institute of Technology, Puducherry (2021)

When it comes to NITs, everyone knows that they are better than any private colleges in the aspects like fees, faculties, campus. The tag of NIT can come in handy for you any day. 

NIT Puducherry (NITPY) has the best and most supportive faculty there is. Be it any department and especially CSE. There is nothing better than good professors from whom you can seek all the knowledge you want. The fee structure is quite affordable and less when compared to the private colleges but a bit more than government colleges. 

The CSE department also has quite promising placements. The students get placed in huge companies in places like Bangalore, Noida, and Chennai. Not that we are looking for it but NIT Puducheert has a lab with a 1000 Mbps internet connection that is available for you to use. If it convinces you, then you can surely go for it. 

If your requirement is Chemical Engineering or Biotechnology then it is not the best choice for you.

How is IIIT Una?

ST
Soumyadeep Tripathi Posted On : April 15th, 2021
IIIT Una

Here are some of the facts regarding IIIT Una from a student studying there.

  • The students studying at IIIT Una have NIT Hamirpur as their mentor institute but after the year 2018, the 2019-23 batch is left studying all alone without any seniors, societies and labs.
  • There has been news going round that the new batches will be accommodated in the new campus in UNA as the transit campus 2 can not accommodate any more batches.
  • The administration is not very effective and supportive. There have been many instances, once a notice came about Imposition of Rs 5000/ subject for short attendance without information about the same in the start of the semester. Ultimately it was dismissed as students revolted.
  • There have been circular that says that the institute is not responsible for the placement as it is an additional service. Thus, it would be clear that the college won’t be bringing any good companies. There are few good companies for CSE/IT but no good core company for ECE.
  • There won’t be much of a college life for the students studying here.
  • The fee is also very high.

The only benefit of studying at this institute is to get the tag of IIIT. Therefore there is not anything in this college worth joining.

What's the GATE rank or score required to get into NITIE?

KG
Khushi Gupta Posted On : August 13th, 2021
PGDPM from National Institute of Industrial Engineering (2019)

As far as I know, if you have a score of 750 or higher, you will be contacted for an interview. For admission to NITIE, you have to pass the Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI).

If you fall into one of the reserved categories, your required score will be lower in order to be called in for an interview.

NITIE Cutoff for GATE (Expected) –

Category GATE Cutoff Scores
General 720 to 760 +
OBC NCL 550+
SC 500+
ST 420+

Placements for all courses are good in my opinion. You can also check out the official website for more specific information.

Is getting an online degree from IIT Madras worth it while I'm pursuing my own course?

AS
Arati Sinha Posted On : March 28th, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

The increasing demand for data science and artificial intelligence has resulted in people preferring a more promising career among fresh graduates and working professionals. This field has created a number of opportunities and everyone is flocking to it.

These courses are seen as a key to a more high-paying job by UG students who end up pursuing them alongside their main course. Owing to its increasing demand, IIT Madras and IIM Calcutta have started offering online degrees in Data Science 

IITM offers courses at three levels:

  1. The foundation level: Comprises a time duration of 8 months to 3 years costing around 32k.
  2. The Diploma level: Comprises a time duration of 12 months to 3 years and costs 1,10,000.
  3. The Degree level: Varying from 12 months to 3 years, it costs 1,00,000.

While doing an online course that too from IIT Madras may look like a lucrative option here is the dark side 

  • The course is extremely expensive 
  • The long duration is not suitable for graduates or working professionals who want to move forward in their careers.
  • Lack of hands-on experience 
  • No placement of internship assistance at all
  • Pre-recorded sessions make the learning boring and uninteresting 
  • You won’t be allowed to pursue the degree unless you’ve done the diploma.

The IIT tag surely appeals to many and makes your resume look good in front of recruiters however, it does not guarantee that you have a good Data Science career. It might help you get through the first round, but the course does not offer the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in this domain. The reasons why this course is not credible are the lack of hands-on projects, pre-recorded sessions, and absence of interaction in the class or doubt-solving sessions.

The alternative for these online courses are programs offered by various platforms like Learn Bay, Skill Slash, UpGrad Great Learning, SimpliLearn, etc. These are

  • Cost friendly
  • Ace up your knowledge 
  • Offers a hands-on experience by making you work on real-time industry issues
  • Placement assistance 

All these make them a more viable option for a career in Data Science than the Online course of IIT Madras.
