What should I choose between BITS Goa CS and IIT Roorkee Applied Maths?

AG
Ashish Gupta Posted On : April 17th, 2023
Lives in Roorkee, Uttarakhand, India

Applied Maths at IIT Roorkee is a more viable alternative than BITS Goa CS provided that you have an interest in coding. 

  • The course structure of Applied Mathematics is quite similar to that of KGP MnC. Unlike the general assumption, this program isn’t research-oriented. Only a few who have a deep passion for Maths take up research as a much later endeavor.
  • The best part of the program is the excellent job opportunities it offers. Its placements are second only to CS, the most preferred branch.
  • You get to avail top-notch facilities provided by a leading IIT, Roorkee
  • IIT Roorkee has the highest intake of this program even more than IIIT Hyderabad.
  • The Applied Maths team bagged the 68th position in the ACM ICPC world Finals and the 2nd position in India.
  • The course structure covers diverse topics like data structures, design, Analysis of algorithms, and discrete mathematics. All these topics help to strengthen the Computer programming base of students.

So, Applied Mathematics is a much better option than BITS Goa CS.

Between IIT Delhi and Bombay, which one has a better campus life?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : April 10th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

I believe IIT Bombay has a better campus life than IIT Delhi. Here are a few points to prove the same

  • Events: Asia's largest technical event Techfest and cultural event Mood Indigo are organized by IIT Bombay. These are much superior and better than IIT Delhi’s 'Tryst' and 'Rendezvous' in terms of planning, entertainment, and scale.
  • Transport: IIT Bombay has its own elaborate bus service inside the campus that runs 24/7 on CNG. IIT Delhi on the other hand just has 3-4 buses that run not more than 4-5 times during morning and evening. Hardly all the students are able to avail of this service because the buses are always fully occupied.
  • Exotic Powai Lake: The hostels of IIT Bombay especially H12 and H13 offer a picturesque view from the balcony or rooftop and give a calming effect to the students conducive to learning. IIT Delhi on the other hand is located in the most polluted city and the hostels offer a similar unhygienic view.
  • Restrictions: IIT Bombay has no rules regarding girls' and boys' hostels and students are free to visit opposite-gender hostels. IIT Delhi gives no such relaxation and gender mix is possible only during House Day, which is held once a year.
  • Food and refreshments: IIT Bombay has an abundance of food and refreshments offered through kiosks, food stalls, and ice cream parlors. Although IIT Delhi too provides snacks, its food is not comparable to IIT Bombay.
  • Mess food: IIT Bombay serves both non-vegetarian and vegetarian in their real sense whereas IIT Delhi caters to North Indians' taste buds mainly and the quality of food is also lower than IIT Bombay.

Some might find the above differences too minor, for them, it’s better to choose the one that aligns with their own preferences like location, etc.

Should I take up math and computing at IIT Delhi, or B.Math at ISI Bengaluru?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : April 5th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Whether you should opt for MnC at IIT Delhi or B.Math at ISI Bangalore depends on what you want from your graduation and your career prospects.

Academically both institutes are excellent and none is better than the other. So my answer entails the drastic difference in the curriculum and scope of the two programs.

Bachelor of Mathematics, ISI Bengaluru

This program has high-tech mathematical stuff and purely focuses on Mathematics. The Institute is smaller than IIT Delhi and ideal for those who have a single passion in life, Maths. The coursework consists of abstract algebra, analysis, probability theory, and so on. Additionally, it has compulsory courses in Statistics, Probability, and Physics as well. Although it offers some CS courses also, the program does not focus on Computer Science much.

Math and Computing (MnC), IIT Delhi

The curriculum of the MnC program is more inclined toward computer science than Mathematics. The program focuses more on applied mathematics, rather than pure mathematics. As a result, graduates from this course can start jobs earlier than those from ISI.

In a nutshell, if you are willing to go for higher education and research in mathematics, then ISI should be your goal. If you are a person interested in the practical application of concepts and want to eventually be employed in a company, then IIT Delhi is the best place for you.

How is the B.Arch. course at MNIT Jaipur?

SG
Souvick Gupta Posted On : October 10th, 2023
MNIT Jaipur

You should opt for architecture only if your interest lies in this field. It shouldn’t be a backup option for you. This is because the field involves Arts, Science, Maths, and Humanities, all together. You’ll do well in this field only if you like architecture.

As far as MNIT Jaipur is concerned, it isn’t the best place for architectural studies. They’ll offer you limited practical exposure, and the curriculum hasn’t been updated for long. The infrastructure of this department is pretty average, they don’t organize any educational trips, and only a few faculty members are good.

I wouldn’t recommend MNIT for your B.Arch. Instead, try to look for some better alternatives.

How is the food at NIT calicut? Can people from other states adjust?

SK
Shailja Khandelwa Posted On : October 13th, 2023
B.Tech. from National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2019)

It is difficult to adjust to the hostel food at NIT Calicut, especially for students outside Kerala. Even though you have the option to change from one mess to another monthly based on your preference, which is interesting for the first few months, gradually you will end up bored with the food and start feeling like all the ten options for food are almost the same.

What are the advantages of studying in Tezpur University over IIT and NIT?

MV
Meghna Vohra, Posted On : November 11th, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, Tezpur University (2021)

One of my friends studied at the School of Engineering, Tezpur University (TU). According to him, the most visible difference between IITs and NITs with Tezpur University is the brand name. Because this brand name could sometimes prove to be beneficial for your career.

Here are some points that make studying in Tezpur University worthy:

  • It is one of the best colleges in the North Eastern region.
  • TU is a university, not an engineering college, so they receive adequate funding from the central government.
  • TU has one of the most beautiful campuses in India. As it is a new institute, everything is clean and very well maintained.
  • Many cultural events are held here. From the technical and management fests to annual cultural fests. 
  • There are also musical shows, drama shows and visits by famous personalities.
  • The faculty members are very well experienced. Most of them are from IITs and BITS.
  • CSE has observed the best placements. 
  • Reputed companies like Amazon, Huawei, SAP Labs, Software AG and Intel visit during the placements.
  • The CSE department has multiple tie ups with research organizations like IISc Bengaluru, ISRO, DRDO, ISI-Kolkata, CSIR, etc.

It is a constantly growing and developing institution. It might not reach the standards and popularity of IITs and NITs but is developing very fast which makes it better than many other newly established institutions.

Which is good for M.Tech in Chemical Engineering IIT Kharagpur or Madras?

SG
Senjuti Gupta Posted On : March 27th, 2023
studied at IIT Kgp

IIT Madras is the best choice for MTech in Chemical Engineering. Some reasons that support my claim are

  • Being a metropolitan, Madras ensures better living standards and transport facilities thus attracting more faculty.
  • The R and D centers of most top MNCs are located in Bangalore and Mumbai. Owing to the proximity Madras is preferred over KGP.
  • Most process industries prefer BTech students over MTech students as chemical engineers. Only R and D and Consulting companies look for MTech students for core jobs.
  • Better facilities attract better students thus you will find a better class of peers at IIT Madras in contrast to IIT KGP.
  • The faculty comprises professors belonging to various fields and cultures whereas IIT KGP has more Bengali professors.

Thus, considering the demand for PG students and facilities at IIT Madras, it seems to be a better option for MTech than KGP.
