Can CEC students do engineering?
No, as a CEC student (Commerce, Economics and Civics), you can’t pursue B.Tech studies in India. This is because for opting B.Tech one needs to have completed +2 with Maths and Physics. Since you don’t have these subjects in your +2, you can’t opt for engineering studies.
Which engineering branch uses organic chemistry?
In most Indian colleges, organic chemistry is part of the first year mandatory curriculum, which is the same across all B.Tech branches. Other than that, some colleges offer Organic Chemistry as an elective in the Chemical Engineering curriculum.
Chemical Engineering is more concerned with optimizing and increasing the productivity of a process, and less with the reaction mechanism part. Despite this, organic chemistry is present in some CE subjects in parts. These subjects are Petroleum Engineering, Biochemistry, and Chemical Process Technology. Across the globe, and not just in India, Organic Chemistry is a part of the Chemical curriculum, even if not directly.
After doing 1 year of BTech can I change my college?
Whether or not you can change your college after B.Tech 1st year completely depends on the norms of your present college/university. Some colleges allow it, while some don't. Also, you must score good grades during the first year in order to change your college. My brother had changed his engineering college from JSSATEN Noida to NIT Patna after his first year.
Is biotech better than mechanical engineering?
While choosing an engineering branch you should consider your career goals, interests and inclination. Both these branches have different scope and objectives. Mechanical engineering deals with designing and manufacturing mechanical systems, and Biotech combines Biology and Technology for development in areas like healthcare, agriculture, and environmental conservation. It is important for you to go through the curriculum of both these branches to decide which one better suits your interests and long term goals.
Mechanical will offer you job opportunities in the automotive, aerospace, energy, robotics, and manufacturing sector. After Biotech you can work in the Pharmaceutical, Healthcare, and agricultural sector. It is up to you to analyze the potential and market demand for both these branches.
If you are skilled in Maths, Physics, Problem-solving, and Design, you can opt for Mechanical. On the other hand, Biotechnology requires an understanding of Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Lab Techniques, and Data Analysis. Biotechnology is constantly making new innovations in fields like genetic engineering, drug development, and bioprocessing.
This choice is highly subjective, and completely depends upon your own interest. Both these fields are making rapid progress in their own manner. You have to ultimately decide which one is more in line with your own aspirations.
Which one is better , IIT Dharwad or IIT Tirupati, for CSE?
IIT Tirupati was started in 2015, and IIT Dharwad in 2016. As a student of CSE at IIT Dharwad, I can give you some details on my branch/college-
The CSE branch at IIT Dharwad receives internship offers from well-known companies like McAfee, Microsoft, Google, and some well reputed academic institutes. The CSE students qualify for GSoC in decent numbers, and the Open Student Society of IIT Dharwad conducts an Open Source Contribution Event during the summers. It is called ‘Summer of Innovation’, and it receives participants from across India, including the OS society of IIT Kharagpur. Dharwad is well-connected to major IT hubs- Pune, Bangalore, Mumbai and Hyderabad. IIT Dharwad is backed by a huge incubation center based in Hubli called Sandbox Startups.
Based on my experience, I can assure you a rich learning environment at the IIT Dharwad CSE department.
Which is better, NITK CSE or IIT Dharwad CSE?
Even though IIT Dharwad is very new, it has certain advantages over NITK.
IIT Dharwad carries the prestigious ‘IIT’ tag which benefits it in many ways. The government allocates a separate, bigger budget for the IITs. IIT Dharwad is under the mentorship of IIT Bombay, so it receives highly experienced teachers from the IITB CSE department.
Moreover, the CSE curriculum of IIT Dharwad is the same as that of IIT Bombay. While formulating its curriculum, the authorities took suggestions from the students. This made the syllabus student friendly. IIT Dharwad has recently shifted to its permanent campus, and it offers good extracurriculars for the students.
NITK is a prestigious college with very high rankings. But even if you end up with IIT Dharwad, you can make the most of it.
How is mechanical engineering at IIT Dharwad?
Mechanical Engineering studies are good at IIT Dharwad. The academics of IIT Dharwad has always been great, experienced faculty members from IIT Bombay taught courses to its students since the beginning of this college
As for Mechanical specifically-
- The Mechanical faculty consists of professors from IIT Bombay, and other highly skilled academicians.
- The curriculum is the same as that of IIT Bombay Mechanical.
- The department has separate labs for different courses. The lab equipment is either new or from the IIT Bombay labs.
- Prof. Prabhu of the Mechanical Department is a highly respected faculty member at IIT Bombay. He is very hardworking and learned. He has over 2000 citations.
- The peers of Mechanical are very friendly and cooperative.
IIT Dharwad Mechanical will give you ample exposure and good academics, despite being a new institution.
How good is CSE at the newer IITs, such as Dharwad, Goa, Dhanbad, and Bhilai?
As a second year B.Tech CSE student at IIT Dharwad, I can give you a fair idea of my department/college.
IIT Dharwad got IIT Bombay as its mentor, so we follow their curriculum for CSE. Each semester comprises the mid sem exam, quizzes and the end sem exam. The curriculum is designed for a smooth learning process, so we do not jump right away to difficult concepts after learning the programming syntax. Not everyone knows the basics of C++ and other programming languages, so this smooth transition is very helpful.
Prof. Abhiram Ranade teaches CS101 during the 1st sem. He is a faculty member of IIT Bombay. He is a highly experienced teacher and he teaches the basics of C++ and other programming languages very well. He is very soft spoken. The entire department faculty is highly competent and experienced. The Computer Lab is air-conditioned, and open for 24*7 access. The All-in-one PC’s are great for completing lab assignments without any hassle.
The new IITs are making quick progress, and IIT Dharwad has the benefit of being close to the IT hub of India. So, placements and internships are more easily accessible. You can definitely consider this college for your B.Tech CSE.
Which should I prefer, IIT Dharwad CSE or IIIT Gwalior CSE?
If you wish to join an IIT, and IIT Dharwad seems to be a confusing option, you can opt for electrical at 2nd gen IITs like Ropar or Bhubaneswar. You can also opt for ECE at IIT Dhanbad. You’ll easily get these options with your rank. Else, you may opt for ECE in IIIT Allahabad. All these options will give you good placements and good peers. You’ll get ample exposure at these campuses.
As for IIT Dharwad vs IIIT Gwalior CSE, the second option is better. However, the scenario may not remain the same in coming years because both the colleges are in their developing stage.
How are the placements of B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from IIT, Madras?
IIT Madras placement for Mechanical Engineering is good. Around 85% of students get placed from the branch. The salary package details are as follows.
| Parameter | Statistics |
| Highest CTC | INR 1.33 CPA |
| Average CTC | INR 16.1 LPA |
