Why did you go for NIT Warangal even if you could have joined an IIT?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : August 16th, 2023

One of my friends had to choose between EEE in a good IIT and CSE in one of the top NITs. He was specifically inclined towards CSE and knew he would end up with a Software job even if he took EEE. Moreover, he knew that if he chose EEE, he would have to work extra hard to maintain a good CGPA, learn coding, and complete additional courses to upgrade his skills. 

All his relatives and friends were against him joining NIT and giving up the opportunity to join IIT. However, he did not change his mind and chose NIT Warangal CSE. To date, he has zero regrets about his decision. He realized that he learned a lot in CSE that he could have Moises had he taken EEE. Many of his friends in EEE had to work extra hard just to be on par with CSE students. He was grateful for his smart decision.

Placements-wise, there isn’t any major difference in the statistics of NIT Warangal and IITs. Being one of the top 3 NITs, it’s highly respected by recruiters and thus has a good placement scenario. 

He was very satisfied with his decision of choosing NIT Warangal CSE over EEE at a good IIT. After all, branches matter more than institutes!

Why should someone choose IIT Delhi over IIT Mumbai for CSE? Except his/her AIR.?

RR
Riya Radhera Posted On : April 1st, 2023
Works at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

There are two sides to every coin. Similarly, there are many reasons why one must choose IIT Delhi over IIT Mumbai and vice versa. To make it further understandable, I have listed some common pros and cons of IIT Delhi

Pros

  • You are in proximity to the capital city 
  • It’s easy to prepare for some other exams also apart from Engineering like IAS
  • Hauz Khas village in itself is an absolute treat to the eyes
  • Being in Delhi makes it possible to go for road trips to Jaipur, Chandigarh, Lansdown, Rishikesh, Dehradun, Agra, etc.
  • The Delhi Metro makes commuting quiet easy
  • There are many places to explore and hang out with your friends in the vicinity of the campus.

Cons

  • CS department of IIT Bombay is way better than IIT Delhi offering a plethora of diverse courses.
  • The campus of IIT Bombay has more natural landscape and greenery in comparison to IIT Delhi. This enhances the climate and overall ambiance inside the campus 
  • Unlike IIT Delhi, the hostel facilities are much better at IIT Bombay while Delhi hostels are overly crowded.
  • Delhi faces extreme climatic conditions whereas the weather of IIT Bombay somehow remains the same throughout the year.

I leave it to you to weigh the pros and cons accordingly and make an informed decision.

Is BITS Pilani really a good institute?

NS
Navneet Singh Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
Studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

A good institute is a very generic term. Everyone has their own criteria for a ‘good institute’. In my opinion, a good institute is one that offers an excellent college life experience combined with a top-notch education.

BITS Pilani has a poor NIRD Rank because NIRF focuses on research and the location of the institute while evaluating this, 2 factors that BITS Pilani fails miserably in. However, if you look at other rankings, BITS Pilani scores pretty well.

  • India Today: BITS Pilani B.Tech ranking by India Today is 7 out of 10 colleges in India in 2022
  • The Week: BITS Pilani Overall ranking by The Week is 5 out of 34 colleges in India in 2021.
  • IIRF: BITS Pilani B.Tech ranking by IIRF is 1 out of 173 colleges in India in 2022.

Additionally, BITS Pilani has excellent infrastructure and hostel facilities. It also organizes 3 major and several minor fests. Oasis is the second-largest cultural fest after IIT Bombay Mood Indigo. Considering all this, I think BITS Pilani is certainly a good institute.

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.

Is IIM Indore’s Integrated Program in Business Analytics any good?

GR
Gourav Raj Posted On : January 11th, 2023
Project Manager at OpenText (company) (2016–present)

Choosing a Data Science Program is a difficult task because the market is flooded with these courses. All of the programs are in collaboration with prestigious universities.

The program includes a fantastic combination of IIM Indore. That, however, is no longer a challenge. The best part about Jigsaw is that they always have a listening ear—they are eager to learn about the challenges of the students and are resolved with the same responsibility. Every issue will be addressed and resolved.

The course is good; the more time you spend on it, the more knowledge you will gain. you will never be crippled with content as Jigsaw is having a pretty decent quality of content and is very easy to follow.

All weekend classes will be recorded and made available to you if you want to review the material. The course will walk you through the statistical methodologies and tools used by data scientists for data analysis and modeling.

You have both graded and non-graded assignments. Non-graded for practice and graded for completion of the course. The more you practice, the more confident you will become. You will complete a mini capstone and a capstone project to gain hands-on experience.
