How is M.Tech in computer science at IIIT-Bangalore?
I completed my M.Tech CSE from IIIT Bangalore a few years back. Based on my experience, here are some pros and cons of joining this course/college-
Pros
- IIIT Bangalore sees a very diverse crowd. Students from various ethnic and academic backgrounds join the college each year. While some leave their jobs to pursue an M.Tech, others join right after their B.Tech. Some are very research-oriented and plan for a Ph.D. in the future.
- The students are very serious about academics. But they are also very supportive of each other.
- The seniors are very supportive and friendly. The college alumni network is very strong.
- The faculty for M.Tech CSE is very dedicated and helpful.
- The campus is neat, and Bangalore is just great for tech enthusiasts.
- Almost everyone is placed with a decent paycheck by the end of the course. Many students receive PPOs.
Cons
- The campus is small, and the college isn’t very old.
- The fees are quite high.
- IIIT Bangalore ranks below top NITs and is comparatively less popular.
- The administration isn’t student-friendly.
- Final sem students are forced to stay in the hostel if they intern anywhere in Bangalore. This is inconvenient if one’s office is far off, considering Bangalore’s traffic.
- The hostel curfew timings aren’t very convenient. No one is allowed outside of the campus post 10 PM.
In spite of some cons, IIIT Bangalore is a great choice for an M.Tech CSE.

Did anyone convert IIM Ahmedabad and not join?
IIM Ahmedabad is definitely one of the best institutes for studies. But it’s not the only one with excellent opportunities. Many other colleges offer better opportunities and a wide range of career options than IIM Ahmedabad.
Many people get selected in IIM Ahmedabad but do not join it. This is because their career goals do not restrict them to IIM Ahmedabad only. One such example is Sudhakar Gupta from NSIT who scored a 100 percentile in 2014. He got selected in all the IIMs but instead chose to pursue a Masters Degree from Cornell University.
At the IIMs, while the career opportunities are excellent, they are more or less streamlined and restrictive in the initial period. So people with broad prospects tend to suffer here.
It depends on your long term career goals and your own conveniences at the end.
Is Anna University's counselling different for CBSE and matriculating students?
No, the counselling procedure is the same for both CBSE and matriculating students. You will be counseled in the batches as per your cut off. But the cutoff calculation procedure is different for CBSE and matriculating students.
For State Board students Cut off= (math/2) + (phy/4)+(chem/4)
For CBSE students Cut off= (math) +(phy/2)+(chem/2)
Apart from this CBSE students get normalisation as it’s difficult to get such high cut offs. Under this, usually 5 marks are added to your cutoff.
Do IIIT Hyderabad students (BTech, DD, MTech, MS and PhD) regret not being one of the IITs?
No, I don’t think so. To be honest, my friend who is an IIIT Hyderabad student is much happier and more satisfied than his friends at IITs. He claims that he is in a better position compared to many of his CS and Non-CS counterparts at the IITs. IIIT Hyderabad certainly renders better opportunities in terms of research paper output, coding competitions performances, placements, and Internships. So he is actually grateful for giving up his seats in IITs for a seat in IIIT. In fact, some of his friends had to go to non-CS branches in top IITs just because their ranks were not good enough for IIIT Hyderabad CS.
I hope this made it clear that people joining IIIT Hyderabad have no regret looking at their IIT counterparts whatsoever. If anything, they are grateful for the rare opportunity.
How should a non-Tamil Nadu candidate apply at TANUVAS Chennai?
You can apply for TANUVAS through the all-India quota (AIQ), which accounts for 15% of total seats. You must take the NEET test for this, and you can get admission through the all-India quota based on your NEET score.
There are a total of 12 AIQ seats available in each of TANUVAS' colleges. So, after the declaration of the NEET 2021 result, you must attend counseling organized by VCI (Veterinary Council of India).
For more updates and information, you must visit the VCI website daily after the declaration of NEET 2021 result.
What is the total expenditure for a BTech course in Manipal Institute of Technology, Karnataka?
Here is a rough estimate of the total expenditure for a BTech course at MIT Karnataka.
- Total Tuition Fees ( BTech): INR 18.62 Lakhs
- Hostel + Mess fees: Around 4–5 Lacs depending on the hostel you choose
- Travel expense: On average you will be spending 750-1000 per month. So the cost of a 9-month stay for 4 years will be 1000*36= INR 36000
- Travel expense from home to college: This varies from person to person because if you live far away, you will have to travel by airplane. Assuming, you will be taking 4 trips a year, the cost will be around 1 Lakh.
- Misclieous Expenses: Around INR 5000 per month. So 5000 x 9 x 4 = 180000 INR.
The above estimate does take into account the money you spend partying or going on trips. Also, it's important to note that the above estimate is purely based on my speculations and may vary from person to person.
How good is NIT Patna? Is it comparable with better NITs and good private institutes like Thapar?
NIT Patna has carried this ‘NIT’ tag since 2004. Here are some advantages of joining NITP-
- The crowd at NIT Patna, like any other NIT, is really good and consists of some of the best brains in the country.
- NIT Patna has a student exchange program with a Korean University.
- The environment over there is quite nurturing.
- It has a locational advantage over most other NITs. You can access the best CAT/GATE/IES coaching centers easily from there.
- The placements are improving each year.
- Some companies that visit the campus for placements include- OracleFSS, Oracle Cloud Computing, MuSigma, Polaris, Verity Knowledge solutions, Vedanta(Alu), Verizon, Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki, Hero MotoCorp, Jindal Steels, L&T, Havels, SAP Labs, Snapdeal, Amazon, UnitedHealth Group, First American Pvt. Ltd. , BPCL, Housing.com, Samsung R&D, Zomato, Oxigen, Factset, Bharat Aluminium, Samsung, ABB, Siemens and Reliance.
But I would like to warn you that the campus life isn’t really great at NIT Patna. However, the new Bihta campus of NIT Patna is expected to come into existence soon. It will be spread across 125 acres of land.
I would say that NIT Patna is doing quite well and it shouldn’t be compared to other NITs or Thapar. If you have the will to build a bright future for yourself, this institute will definitely help you achieve your dream.
