Which is better for CSE, NIT Puducherry or IIITDM Kancheepuram?

VT
Vedansh Taneja Posted On : October 6th, 2021
Studied B.Tech CSE from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing, Kancheepuram

NIT Puducherry has recently shifted to its permanent campus, although IIITDM’s campus seems better. As for the faculty, again IIITDM has an upper hand but you will have to figure out an approach towards them. 

Both the institutes have a fairly comprehensive and challenging curriculum for their students. They are both good placement wise but if you have more than 7.5 CGPA you will be allowed to sit for all the companies in IIITDM. You can see which suits best to your requirements.

What should be my preference for the following colleges if I have no specific branch in mind: new IITs, old IITs, BITS Pilani, BITS Goa, BITS Hyderabad, BIT Mesra, BIT Sindri, local NIT, VIT, Shibpur,

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : September 5th, 2023

It is difficult to give an appropriate solution if you are not opting for a specific branch. All the colleges you have mentioned are well-reputed institutes in India that offer quality education and placement support to their students. The comparison can only be made based on the branches. Some institutes, like IITs, are good at CSE, while others have efficient departments in mechanical or Electrical Engineering. The ranking and placement vary every year.

If you get a chance to pick BITS Goa in mechanical engineering and BITS Pilani in Civil Engineering, then opt for Mechanical engineering, which opens up more opportunities and placement support than civil engineering.

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : October 7th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

I will suggest you consider your own interests first rather than the placement scenario. For this, you can go through the course structure of both branches. If you still are unable to determine the right choice for yourself, go through the following pros and cons of both institutes

IIIT Delhi 

Pros:

  1. IIIT Delhi has a more Research-oriented curriculum and has an interdisciplinary approach to the curriculum.
  2. The packages offered are at par with most tier-1 colleges like DTU, NSUT, decent NITs, etc.
  3. The lab facilities are modern and top-notch

Cons

  1. IIIT Delhi has a very small campus.
  2. The college is relatively new so the alumni network is very weak.

BITS Pilani

Pros:

  1. Excellent noncore placements especially management/finance.
  2. The curriculum is very flexible and students of all branches get to choose minors in Data Science, Finance, Robotics, etc. 
  3. The college has a huge brand name and alumni pool which adds credibility in promotions and pay grades.
  4. The college has the PS system, which gives every student 8 months (6+2) of internship in top companies solely based on your preference and CGPA. 
  5. The institute has a very charming campus life

Cons:

  1. No compulsory attendance policy which might affect those who aren’t very self-motivated.
  2. A lot of participation in festivals and cultural events is required which although good, might affect your academics negatively. 

Ultimately, choose what signs with your preferences.

Which is a better option, IT at VIT Vellore or at VIT Pune?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : October 17th, 2023

Here are my honest views on which college you should choose for your B.Tech IT-

VIT Vellore grants admissions based on VITEEE, which is an all India exam. Students from all over India take part in this entrance. On the other hand, VIT Pune grants admissions mainly on the basis of MH-CET, in which a limited number of students participate.

VIT Vellore has a diverse crowd whereas, mostly localities join VIT Pune. Other than that, VIT Vellore follows no reservation policy for its admissions, but MH-CET has a high number of reserved seats.

VIT Vellore offers good placements in B.Tech IT. The campus organizes plenty of competitions, fests and events throughout the year. This college provides plenty of growth opportunities to its students.

For IT, or for any other engineering branch, I would recommend you choose VIT Vellore over VIT Pune.

Is mathematics and computing branch is similar to CSE in IIT Delhi?

SG
Sushmita Gupta Posted On : April 10th, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

Mathematics and Computing (M&C) is a branch offered at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi and is quite similar to the CSE branch in the sense that both focus on the study of computer science and technology. However, it’s important to note that M&C is more inclined towards mathematics and its applications in computing, while CSE focuses more on the engineering aspects of computer science.

Both branches offer similar courses in programming, algorithms, data structures, and software development, but M&C additionally covers math-oriented topics like Differential Equations, Number Theory, Linear Optimization, Algebra, Calculus, etc.

There are a number of courses like Discrete Mathematical Structures taught at both departments but separately by professors of the respective departments. 

Both branches are the most coveted branches and all companies opening job profiles for one branch offer the same to the other branch because of the similar nature of the branches.

Which university is good, Osmania or JNTU, for engineering in Hyderabad?

AS
Arindam Sen, Posted On : October 22nd, 2021
Studied B.E. Mechanical Engineering at Osmania University (2020)

One of my friends studied at Osmania University. According to him, Osmania University really helped him in learning engineering from scratch. Here are some reasons why it is his first choice.

  1. Less number of colleges: Osmania, unlike other universities, does not give affiliation to any random college, thus maintaining a standard. JNTU has hundreds of colleges under its wing, due to which the newly established ones lack quality.
  2. Fair Evaluation: Due to lesser colleges there are lesser students, which gives Osmania the advantage of evaluating exam papers precisely. Also if they are found incorrect the cost of reevaluation is less, INR 300. Whereas Reevaluation at JNTU costs INR 1000. JNTU was also infamous for its faulty correction.
  3. Projects: JNTU has students submit a mini project in 4-1 and a major project in 4-2. Whereas Osmania does not put much pressure on the students, as they have to pitch the idea of the project in 4-1 and submit it in 4-2.

It is widely known among every student and professionals that Osmania’s degree has more value than JNTU.

Why is JBIMS better than SIMSREE despite both having almost the same quality of students?

JT
Jayant Thakur Posted On : March 3rd, 2023
MBA from Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (Graduated 2011)

As a potential student, you should be aware of the establishment years of the preferred institutes in Mumbai. The following are the establishment years of the institutes in Mumbai:

  • Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies - 1965
  • WE School - 1977
  • S. P. Jain Institute of Management and Research - 1981
  • K. J. Somaiya Institute of Management Studies and Research - 1981
  • Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies - 1981
  • Shailesh J. Mehta School of Management - 1995

It is important to note that this list only includes pure B-schools and excludes TISS for Social Sciences (1936) and NITIE for Industrial Engineering (1963).

Establishment year is not necessarily an indicator of the worth or popularity of an institute, as demonstrated by the relatively young Indian School of Business (ISB) which has gained a strong reputation in just 22 years. However, a longer establishment period can provide an institute with a head start, a larger alumni base, and increased brand awareness.

In terms of the admission process, the establishment year of an institute is not a determining factor. This year, the process was the same for all institutes, with students admitted based on their score on the Common Entrance Test (CET). A score of 99.85+ would generally get you into JBIMS, while a score of 99.8 might result in admission to Sydenham. The difference between these scores is negligible and does not necessarily indicate a difference in ability or aptitude.

JBIMS has maintained a strong ranking for a long time and is expected to continue to do so in the future. It is unlikely that Sydenham will surpass JBIMS in terms of ranking. However, if JBIMS were to move away from the CET centralized process, Sydenham would likely become the top institute based on CET scores alone.

There are some differences in the environment and atmosphere at JBIMS versus other MMS offering institutes. JBIMS has a unique reputation, which is partially due to the work of its alumni in the industry, and partially due to the fact that some professors only teach at JBIMS and do not teach at other institutes. As a result, each year, several students from SIMSREE take the CET again in an attempt to get into JBIMS.

Ultimately, what matters most is what you do with your admission to an institute, rather than the institute itself. Getting into JBIMS and not performing well in life is not meaningful. Instead, you should focus on identifying yourself within two years and becoming better than the crowd, regardless of the institute you attend. Whether at JBIMS or Sydenham, you can strive to be at the top of your academic game, take on internships, and pursue certifications to enhance your career prospects. The tag of your institute may matter for a few years, but it is ultimately up to you to make the most of your corporate career.

Should I prefer JMI CSE or DTU mechanical?

RM
Rahul Mishra Posted On : April 16th, 2021
B.Tech Civil Engineering, Delhi Technological University (2023)

Among the above two institutes, for students interested specifically in computer science, JMI CSE should be a better option. But, students having no specific preference in streams should consider Mechanical at DTU. 

The table below gives a brief level of comparison among the two departments of the institutes.

Particulars

CSE at Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI), Delhi

Mechanical Engineering at Delhi Technological University (DTU)

NIRF ’20 Ranking

28

36

Total Fees (B.Tech)

Rs. 64,600

Rs. 7.8 Lakhs

Median Salary Offered

Rs. 7.2 LPA

Rs. 9 LPA

Total Number of Seats

70

185

Key Highlights:

  • As discussed above, students interested in Computer Science and IT should take JMI CSE, which generally has some decent opportunities. The top 7% of the batch gets more than 7 LPA package salary in JMI CSE.
  • Students having no specific preference can choose DTU Mechanical, which provides a large amount of exposure inside the campus, along with several good opportunities during and after the course.
  • Students at DTU Mechanical usually get a 7.5+ LPA package offer in some of the best companies working in the core mechanical sector. The course of DTU Mechanical is considered to be one of the best in India.
  • JMI has much lesser fees than DTU, which makes it a lot of a more preferred option. For students successful in getting a decent placement offer at JMI, it provides a much better return on investment than DTU.

Considering all the above factors, both the institutes have their own set of advantages and are worth considering.
