How is CSE at NIT Agartala, placement-wise? If I get a chance, should I join it?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : September 18th, 2023

The branch of NIT Agartala like any other engineering college is the most coveted branch with maximum placements. Last year's trends show a constant improvement in the statistics. However, you must know that placements depend on your individual skills and profile. 

Here are some tips to follow if you want to bag the best packages in your branch 

  • Work hard and maintain a CGPA of above 8 because most companies set this as their criteria
  • Work on your coding skills
  • Become tech-savvy and proficient in handling technological issues 
  • Spend the 2 months of summer vacation doing a good internship that will add value to your CV. You can intern at a startup recommended by your seniors or even at an IIT.
  • In case you fail to do so, work on creating an open-source profile. 
  • Don’t join any club and focus on studying instead. 

The above-listed points will help you stand apart from the crowd and make you more employable. So unless you are getting CSE at top IITs, you can always choose NIT Agartala.

Can a student in textile engineer do a minor degree in Computer Science in IIT Delhi?

SM
Subhashree Modak Posted On : April 5th, 2023
B.Tech. from Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (2020)

Top engineering colleges like IIT Delhi, NSIT, School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi, College of Art, Delhi, and even the famous Faculty of Management Studies have branched out from DCE. Major differences between these Engineering institutes include

  • Being the oldest, DTU has the largest alumni base ever more than NSIT and IIT Delhi.
  • All three have different statuses; DTU in itself is a university, NSIT is under the umbrella of Delhi University while IIT Delhi is an institution affiliated with the central government.
  • The companies visiting these institutes are similar in terms of roles and packages offered with DTU and IIT Delhi students getting offers from companies like McKinsey, Bain, etc. while NSIT students getting offers from Tech giants like Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.
  • IITians enjoy the brand name that comes attached to their degrees. This brand name is superior to that of DCE.

Ultimately students prefer IITs over other engineering colleges mainly because they are government bodies and have earned global recognition.

Should I take electrical engineering in new IITs like Ropar, Patna, and Dhanbad or physics in old IITs like Kharagpur and Roorkee or computer science at NIT Hamirpur?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : June 21st, 2023

Anyone getting admission to any IIT should not consider NITs then. It’s true that the old IITs have better infrastructure and brand value than tier-2 IITs but these new IITs are still in their development stage and haven’t reached their conclusion. Considering their huge growth over the past decade, they will reach new heights in the future

The new IITs provide better opportunities and freedom to students as the foundation of the college isn’t very strong so they build it alongside. The students grow and develop their personalities along with the growing institute. There is no compromise in the quality of education as the faculty is recruited after tremendous filtering. 

The branch is more important than the college so don’t choose a less preferred branch in an old IIT just for the brand value rather go for the branch of your choice in a new IIT.

As for Physics, it requires genuine commitment and interest. Go for it only if you are certain of a career in it as the options in this branch are limited in contrast to Electrical Engineering. That being said, IIT Ropar is one of the best second-generation IITs, and its curriculum is very flexible and the location is also great. So my final recommendation would be to go for IIT Ropar Electrical.

Is computer science available at IISER Pune or other IISERs?

RM
Radhika Mitra Posted On : January 25th, 2022
student at Department of Physics , IISER Kolkata

No, you can’t choose Computer Science as a major at IISER Pune or any other IISER. But you can definitely learn basic Computer Programming and techniques. You will have the opportunity to learn various languages and there are also different labs where you can do theoretical and computational work. Course work of many departments depends heavily on computational work at IISERs. But there is no option to take Computer Science as a subject.

Which one is better: CS at Guwhati College or the IIT, Hyderabad?

AR
Aditi Roy Posted On : May 16th, 2023
lives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

It’s illogical to compare two programs as the choice of branches depends on individual preferences. I will share the limited knowledge I possess for IIT Hyderabad CSE.

  • IIT Hyderabad CSE department is very dynamic and rigorous. 
  • The CS department has excellent professors that are very learned and experienced.
  • The student crowd comprised good quality students most of them being top rankers. There is tough competition between peers maintaining the dynamic academic environment.
  • The average package for CSE in IIT Hyderabad is the highest of all the other branches, with many international offers too.
  • As far as higher studies are concerned, if you plan to do an MS abroad, every year a lot of students get admitted to highly reputed foreign universities like Stanford, UIUC, Georgia tech, and ETH Zurich.

Since I have no information on IIT Guwahati, I recommend you contact a senior and discuss basic details.

To make the best choice, I have entailed the pros and cons of both the institutes 

IIT Guwahati Pros

  • A very established and beautiful campus that is on power backup

IIT Guwahati Cons

  • Less academic flexibility in choosing courses
  • Locational disadvantage results in less exposure to expert lectures 
  • Major issues related to connectivity with high airfare
  • Professors are very less motivated in delivering quality lectures due to lack of motivation.

IIT Hyderabad Pros

  • Locational advantage results in better connectivity and excellent exposure to industry and experts
  • More academic flexibility owing to the fractal academics
  • Young and enthusiastic faculty members who have great experience and conduct top-notch research 

IIT Hyderabad Cons

  • The permanent campus is still under construction.
  • Relatively hot climate.

IIT Guwahati should never be your first choice and IIT Hyderabad is a much better option.

Which branch is better to join, CSE at IIT Indore or MNC (mathematics and computing) at IIT Guwahati?

SD
Souvick Das Posted On : May 4th, 2023
Software Engineer at Microsoft

My brother was in a similar dilemma last year when he had to choose between MnC IIT Guwahati and CSE IIT Indore. Eventually, he went for IIT Indore CSE. The main reason he decided against going for the MnC program was his lack of interest in Math. And when we talk about Math at IIT, trust me when I say it’s at another level. It’s purely proof-based and high-level Math that can be handled only by true Math lovers. The academic workload is also high with 60% Math and 40% CS courses.

Now, here are a few points that might convince you to join IIT Indore instead

  • IIT Indore qualified for ACM-ICPC World Finals thrice. This in itself is quite an achievement considering this event's importance.
  • As per HackerRank, IIT Indore is said to have the best coders in the whole country. Additionally, it’s at the 8th position globally for the best coders
  • IIT Indore has an extensive alumni base who completed their Master's from top foreign universities like Stanford, Caltech, University of Columbia. Many talented alumni also increase the credibility of the institute by working at reputed firms like Google and Facebook.
  • This year, the CS department recorded 100% placements with the highest and average packages standing at INR 48.5 LPA and INR 30.32 LPA respectively.

Overall, IIT Indore CSE is a much better choice than MnC IIT Guwahati considering the work of and job opportunities.

What should I go for, IT in NIT Surathkal or CS in NIT Allahabad? I want to go for Surathkal but don't know if IT is a good option.

RT

One of my friends was doubtful whether the hindi-speaking culture of MNNIT will have any impact on her English communication skills. If you are doubtful regarding the same, I would say you need not worry uselessly. 

Students from MNNIT clear CAT with good scores. This wouldn’t have been possible without clearing the CAT verbal paper. Students converse in Hindi on campus simply because most of them belong to North India. This won’t have any negative effect on your English proficiency. Also, the professors deliver lectures in English. Other than that, to keep enhancing your English skills, you can join the English Literature group of MNNIT. 

As far as your options are concerned, MNNIT is known for its top notch education in CSE. It is one of the best colleges in India for a CSE program. Also, the placements offered at MNNIT are quite impressive, especially for its CSE branch.

According to me, you should choose CSE at MNNIT over IT at NIT Surathkal.

Which is better if one is planning to apply for an MBA/PGDM from IIMs after graduation: ECE and/or CSE at NIT Durgapur, or IT at Jadavpur University? Why?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : September 8th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

Let me share with you some important details about these courses/institutes-

  1. NIT Durgapur is a residential campus so you’ll get ample exposure during your undergraduate studies. On the other hand, JU doesn’t even offer IT on its main campus.
  2. NIT DGP is an Institute of National Importance. This makes it more significant on a national level.
  3. NIT Durgapur is seeing a growing number of recruitments in its CSE branch. Startups visit the campus with interesting offers for CSE students.
  4. The student community of NIT Durgapur is more diverse.
  5. NIT DGP has no political interference. JU, on the other hand, is heavily influenced by state politics.
  6. In terms of extracurricular activities, JU is a better choice.
  7. The CSE/ECE departments of NIT DGP lack good infrastructure, have inconsistent course structure and content, and have a low teacher-student ratio. These departments lack quality research work.
  8. Phd.s in the CSE department of NIT Dgp are low in number.
  9. But NIT DGP carries the much-valued ‘NIT’ tag.

That being said, I feel you are at a very early stage of narrowing down your goals and aspirations to this extent. Enter your UG with an open mind, and an aim for self-discovery. Right now, you have a picture in mind of doing an MBA. But I don’t think you have a proper idea of the different specializations in this degree. 

You should have made a clear decision by the end of your 3rd year. Before that, pursue internships and discover your field of interest. Right now, look for the institute that will offer you the best technical education and the best future prospects.
