Pratik Parikh Posted On : July 20th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Both NIT Trichy and BITs Pilani are prestigious institutes offering high-quality engineering education. Moreover, CSE and ME are equally good with different opportunities and prospects. So the choice between BITS Pilani CSE and NIT Trichy Mechanical depends on what your preferences and career prospects are. 

BITS Pilani CSE is a great option if 

  • You want to join a top private organization like Google, Facebook, Quora, Amazon, Microsoft, etc 
  • Your primary goal is getting high packages even at the cost of extreme work conditions and workload
  • If you have a strong passion for coding
  • If you have no financial constraints and can afford the high BITS Pilani fees.

However, NIT Trichy Mechanical is a good option if 

  • You are looking for a stable Government job through UPSC Engineering Services Examination 
  • You want to go for PSUs such as IOCL, ONGC, NTPC, etc through GATE 
  • If you are a research enthusiast and want to work in a research-oriented government job as a Scientist or Engineer in organizations like RDO, ISRO, BARC, etc
  • If money is your secondary preference and you primarily focus on attaining a better work-life balance.
  • If you have financial issues and BITS Pilani fees are out of your budget.

Ultimately, it’s you who can decide the right college and stream for yourself. Just remember that these are just stepping stones to success and it’s you who has to work hard to become successful.

NIT Agartala ECE will be a better option. It is older and offers better facilities. The ECE department has an excellent faculty pool.

Which is the best college to study graphic design, Seneca, Centennial, Humber, or George Brown?

Dhrishti Tuli Posted On : February 8th, 2024

My friend is a graphic designer. He completed his studies in Graphic Designing from Toronto itself. According to him, Sheridan College in Oakville is the best choice for graphic designing courses, followed by George Brown College. Centennial has a dedicated school for this subject. 

Seneca and GBC offer graphic designing lectures on PC, while Centennial uses MAC for learning purposes. MAC is more popular among graphic designers because it offers a smoother experience for many design softwares. Even if such softwares have a PC version, they require less keystrokes/steps to complete a task on MAC.

Which is better: NIT KKR CSE or BIT Mesra CSE?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 17th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

In terms of placements, environment, alumni network and infrastructure, BIT Mesra is a much better choice than NIT KKR. BIT Mesra is quite an old institution and its alumni are spread across continents. One of its alumni won an Oscar for his work in an animation movie a few years back. BIT alumni hold good positions in top IT brands like Facebook, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, among others.The placements at BIT are quite good with the average package for B.Tech CSE recorded at INR 19.27 LPA for 2022. Many CSE/IT students receive multiple offers during placements. Last year, 113 CSE students were placed out of a total of 124 eligible students. Top IT and non-IT brands visit the BIT Mesra campus for placements.

BIT Mesra students perform well in ICPC and GSoC. The coding club ACM organizes a weekly coding contest within the campus. BIT has been a national winner in several coding contests like- Goldman Sachs’s “We Build” coding contest(BIT was a winner in all the three formats), Smart India Hackathon, etc.

The tech clubs over there like IET, IEEE conduct free workshops regularly to improve the technical skills of the students.The senior-junior interaction is very healthy at BIT Mesra and there is no ragging on campus.The cutoff for BIT Mesra is not that high because its fees is much higher than the NITs and it does not carry the ‘NIT’ or ‘IIT’ tag

Unless you want the NIT tag for your higher studies, you should choose BIT Mesra over NIT KKR for your CSE. The former will help you in developing your skills and you will get better placement opportunities at BIT Mesra.

What is better, MDI for PGP-IM or IIM Ranchi?

VY
Vipin Yadav Posted On : January 19th, 2023
Studied Economics

Deciding which college to attend for an MBA can be a difficult decision due to the high cost of tuition and the potential impact on future career prospects. MDI PGP-IM is a specialized program, while IIM Ranchi's PGDM program is a general management program with the option to choose a specialization in the second year. This may limit the scope of the MDI program. Additionally, the PGP-IM program at MDI requires 3 years of work experience, while IIM Ranchi does not have this requirement. While MDI may have the advantage of a strong brand name and proximity to the business hub in Delhi NCR, it is important to consider how much value this adds to the PGP-IM program. 

IIM Ranchi has its own set of limitations, such as a temporary campus, but the institute has a strong reputation and a history of good placements. The hostels at IIM Ranchi are also some of the best in the country, offering individual rooms rather than shared accommodations. It is worth noting that some students do transfer from MDI PGP-IM to IIM Ranchi, although it is less common for students to go in the opposite direction. Ultimately, the best college for you will depend on your individual preferences and priorities.

I got NIT Rourkela for biotechnology and VSSUT for electrical. Which is the best in the sense of placement records?

SV
Sudeeksha Verma Posted On : August 14th, 2023
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (2020)

Both NIT Rourkela and VSSUT are at the same level in terms of placements. BioTech students from NIT Rourkela and Electrical students from VSSUT get placed in software firms like TCS/IBM. Therefore, I recommend you look beyond placements and adopt a broader perspective. Identify where your interests and passions lie and approach that path rather than running after placements.

The field of Biotechnology is growing at a fast pace with cutting-edge research taking place. Many of NIT Rourkela Biotechnology alumni are today advancing into successful careers or research paths. Some examples are

  • An alumnus is currently pursuing his Ph.D. from the University of Oxford.
  • Another alumnus is pursuing her master's at the University of California at Berkeley.
  • A senior is currently pursuing Ph.D. at the national university of Taiwan. 

The best part of Biotechnology at NIT Rourkela is the limited number of students which increases your chances of performing well in competitive exams like GATE increases. 

Overall, being a part of a well-reputed institute like NIT Rourkela will offer great exposure both academically and personally. As an Electrical student at VSSUT, you will most probably be getting into a boring job at PSU. Moreover, Burla has a deteriorating infrastructure and poor campus facilities. So go for NIT Rourkela!

What is the difference between these colleges, VIT Pune and VU Pune?

AC
Abhinav Chowdhury Posted On : October 13th, 2023
Lives in Pune, Maharashtra, India

Although both VIT Pune and VU Pune are run by the same trust BRACT, both are completely different colleges. VU is a relatively new college whereas VIT Pune is an old college established around 1986 with a rich legacy. VIT Pune is well-known for its excellent placement record whereas CU Pune is quite lacking in this aspect. VIT Pune has a well-versed faculty with an updated curriculum. It also offers a vibrant campus life with many fests. VU Pune has a bigger campus. 

In all, VIT Pune is a better choice than VU Pune.

Which is a better option: aerospace engineering in IIT Kanpur or production and industrial engineering in IIT Delhi?

SN
Saugata Nayak Posted On : April 10th, 2023
Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (2020)

IIT Kanpur has several advantages over IIT Delhi. A few are mentioned below:

  • Unlike IIT Delhi, branch change facility is not restricted to the first year only and one can change branches even after the 2nd year 
  •  IIT Kanpur offers an enriched campus life with great relations between students as well as students and faculty. 
  • There are no LAN restrictions at IIT Kanpur whereas, IIT Delhi restricts usage of LAN from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. 

Lastly, once you enter IIT, your branch rarely matters. Your placements solely depend on your CG, your skills, and the efforts you invested throughout. So, go for a branch that matches your area of interest and you are good to go.

Which is better, manit bhopal chemical or sgsits indore mechanical?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : November 11th, 2023

First of all, your field of interest matters the most. If you are interested in Chemical, opt for MANIT Bhopal. But if you are inclined towards Mechanical, opt for SGSITS Indore. 

MANIT will offer you the prestigious NIT tag. But as a student of SGSITS, I would like to highlight some advantages of joining Mechanical at my college-

  1. Prithampura is the industrial hub of Indore. It has many industries, where you’ll easily get a job as an SGSITS student. Most of these industries visit the campus for placements as well.
  1. SGSITS is located at the heart of Indore city. So you can easily access coaching centers for UPSC, GATE, CAT, etc. These coaching centers are located very close to the campus. The students of our college perform really well in all these competitive exams. 

Based on the limited information provided by me, I hope you get a rough idea on which path will be best for you.
