Is NIT Durgapur for electrical engineering a good idea?

Namrata Das Posted On : September 8th, 2023

The answer to this question depends on your future goals. Here are a few highlights of electrical engineering at NIT Durgapur-

  1. NIT Dgp offers good opportunities for higher studies from a foreign university. This is possible if you maintain a 9 CGPA or above in each semester. The electrical department has professors whose recommendations can get you into pretty good universities abroad for your MS or any other degree.
  2. Electrical has decent placements, with 89.66% of students getting placed in 2023. Core companies like Tata Power, Schneider Electric, Vedanta, JSL, Tata Motors, LnT, etc. visit the campus regularly for recruitment. With basic technical knowledge and good communication skills, you can easily grab a core job.
  3. The faculty of electrical is highly qualified, but few have good teaching skills. The professors are strict, they aren’t student-friendly.
  4. The infrastructure of EE labs is quite poor. The labs contain old and ill-maintained equipment.

The department has a fair share of weaknesses. Despite this, it is one of the oldest departments of NIT Durgapur. After CSE, ECE and ME, EE is the best branch at NIT Dgp. 

Thus, you should definitely consider Electrical at NIT Durgapur.

Does having an arrear during the first year in Anna University affect our chances of getting placed?

SJ
Sidhharth Jain Posted On : December 28th, 2022
Studied Industrial Engineering at Anna University, Tamil Nadu, India

There are two things you should be aware of: current arrears and arrears history. The current arrear is the one for which you have not yet cleared the paper at the time of placement. To put it simply, they are the unresolved papers you have in the seventh and eighth semesters, i.e. during the placement season.

The history of arrears is the one you cleared at the time of placement, but it will remain in your academic records. Every company has its own criteria for selecting candidates, but the majority of companies (say, 98%) will not hire a student who is currently in arrears. What's more, you wouldn't be able to attend even large IT companies.

So, to get to the point, having an arrear in the first semester will not affect your placements, but you should complete the paper by the sixth semester (for non-circuit branches) or the end of the second year (for circuit branches) as placements begin a little earlier, such as having internship opportunities in the third year in great companies such as Microsoft ( for CS and IT). If you are a mechanical engineer and have an arrear and clear it, you will be unable to attend some good companies such as Hyundai, Daimler(Benz), and others.

How is Thapar University for South Indians (Telugu states)?

RG
Rudra Ghose Posted On : August 7th, 2023
B.Tech from Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (2020)

Thapar University is one of the oldest and most reputed universities with a legacy of more than 60 years. It usually is a backup choice for those who couldn’t make it to IITs and NITs. Here are some snippets of the institute 

  • Faculty: The faculty is a big bag comprising both experienced as well as average professors. Most professors who speak Hindi, speak in English when asked to do so by the South Indians, so language isn’t a problem.
  • Exposure: To be honest, a South Indian studying with a North Indian crowd is itself a new experience. Students are exposed to everything, be it sports, coding, or public speaking, through well-established societies. 
  • Language barrier: You might face a little language issue especially if you don’t understand Hindu at all. But after a few months, you will be able to understand the essential words and that’s more than enough to survive here.
  • Sports: Thapar University is the best place for engineering aspirants who don’t want to relinquish their passion for sports. 
  • Transport: Transport isn’t a major issue in Punjab. You can get flights easily and also travel by train.

In all, Thapar University can be considered for engineering if you did not make it to IITs, NITs, BITS, DTU, and IIITs.

Which choice is better: Jadavpur University CSE or IIT Bhubaneswar ECE?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : June 22nd, 2023

If you plan to change to CS, it is quite difficult to shift from EE to CS at IIT Hyderabad. It is easier for other branches to change to CS.

Mechanical and Chemical students get CS during branch change, but the chances are less for Electrical students. This is the experience of one of my friends at IIT Hyderabad.

CS at IIT Hyderabad is better than CS at other new IITs. IIT Hyderabad is one of the best among the new IITs. IIT Hyderabad is showing tremendous growth.

Here is the latest comparison data (as of 2023) for you to choose between the two options:

Particulars

EE IIT Hyderabad

CS IIT Bhubaneswar

Can you suggest to me if I should go for IIIT Allahabad IT or NIT Trichy EEE?

A
Admin Posted On : May 24th, 2024

When it comes to EEE, NIT Trichy is one of the very best. NIT Trichy is the top NIT and is far better than the new IITs. The department of EEE is reputed at NIT Trichy. Every year multiple students from diverse backgrounds take admitted to this department to pursue their dreams. However, it also depends on your convenience. If you can shift to Trichy for your graduation, then NIT Trichy is your best option. 

The campus environment of NIT Trichy is wonderful. You will get to meet people from diverse backgrounds as well as the facilities that are provided are top-notch. The EEE department also excels in research so if you want to pursue research in your future then you should definitely opt for NIT Trichy/ Also, the faculty members are helpful and knowledgeable and their lectures are just mind-blowing.

Is it true that IIIT Delhi is very strict, completely academic-oriented, and only people with very high interest in a CSE should only join there?

RD
Raya Das Posted On : October 9th, 2023
Studied at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (2019)

Academics is the top most priority of IIIT Delhi. Everything else takes a backseat. This may be because it is branded as a research institute. 

If you wish to pursue research in CSE or complete your MS/Ph.D. from a foreign university, choose IIIT Delhi. Academically, IIITD is comparable to IIT Bombay, IIIT Hyderabad, etc. But don’t choose IIIT Delhi if you are planning for an MBA later on. In this case, you might end up dropping out due to a loss of interest in this course.

As for placements, more than 95% of B.Tech CSE students are placed each year. However, very few non-tech companies visit the campus. As ECE receives very few core companies, students from both branches compete against each other for tech jobs.

Based on your own priorities and goals, decide whether or not to choose IIITD for your CSE course.

Is NIT Jalandhar better?

PS
Prashant Sachan Posted On : December 3rd, 2022
B.Tech. in Electronics and Engineering, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Institute of Technology, Jalandhar (NITJ) (Graduated 2020)

The word better is a competitive form. Since you haven’t mentioned better than which college I have done a general comparison. Well yes, NIT Jalandhar is better than:

  • Other private colleges are just money-making machines 

  • New NITs 

  • Some new IITs as well

Established in 1987, this college has a strong alumni base so it’s better than many new colleges.

Which is the best branch in NIT Hamirpur?

PM
Poushali Mandal Posted On : September 14th, 2023
Studied at University of Delhi (2019)

I am a student of CSE at NIT Hamirpur. Here are a few facts about my branch-

  • Placements- CSE gets the highest package during placement season at NIT Hamirpur. The overall placements for CSE are good. Well known brands visit the campus each year to hire software engineers. Many students end up with multiple offers. During the 2022 placement season, 96.81% CSE students were placed. 139 offers were made in total, and the highest package stood at INR 1.12 CPA.
  • Faculty- The faculty consists of good and supportive teachers. The classes are lesser in number, compared to other branches. Teacher-student relationship is good. You’ll hardly attend lab sessions as a CSE student.
  • Student Ratio- The female to male ratio is comparatively much better for CSE.

Considering all these factors, and the fact that it offers the best placement records, I would say that CSE is the best branch at NIT Hamirpur.

Is NIT Silchar a tier 2 institute?

LC
Lipika Chakraborty Posted On : August 31st, 2023
B.tech from National Institute of Technology Silchar (2020)

NIT Silchar is ranked 40th for Engineering and 83rd for overall performance by the NIRF 2023 Rankings. It is a tier 2 institute. 

However, NIT Silchar carries the prestigious ‘NIT’ tag. Its worth shouldn’t be underestimated simply because it is located in a lesser-known city. It is in fact one of the oldest NITs and has one of the largest digital libraries in South Asia. It covers an area of 680 acres and has good academic and research facilities. The faculty is quite good and the placements are also increasing year on year. Top companies like Microsoft, Directi, Sap Labs, Oracle, Oil India Corporation, Power Grid, Bharat Electronics Limited, etc. visit the campus for placements.

Thus, NIT Silchar is a good choice to pursue your Engineering studies.

What 10 things would you tell a student who is about to start MBBS from KGMU?

SS
Savi Sharma Posted On : September 25th, 2023

Here are 10 things I would tell a student who is about to start MBBS from KGMU-

  1. It is an excellent college which will help you become a skilled medical professional.
  2. Stay away from caste based politics. Do not attend caste and category based meets. Be liberal and respect all your colleagues, regardless of their caste/region/religion.
  3. Do attend OPDs, clinical posting and present cases. This will provide you with a lot of experience.
  4. Non vegetarians have much more food options than vegetarians. But even as a vegetarian, you will get good meals.
  5. Do visit Hazratganj. Sitting on a bench in the evenings and watching passersby is the best thing to do there.
  6. Explore the sports room, gym and library of Sardar Patel Hostel. Chakraborty hostel has a nice swimming pool. 
  7. Lucknow is an amazing city, do explore it.
  8. Start your PG entrance preparation early on. The state of UPPG exams is bad, but don’t lose hope, you still have a good chance elsewhere.
  9. Studies must be your first priority.

Remember all these things, study well, and make the most of your stay at KGMU.
