Is singhania university Rajasthan fake?
No, Singhania University Rajasthan isn’t fake. It is UGC-approved. WES, USA, Canada, and Australia consider this university as a legitimate university.
Singhania University, Rajasthan B.Tech degrees aren’t AICTE approved. As it is a self-financed university established by a state law, it doesn’t need AICTE accreditation. So, the B.Tech degrees offered at Singhania University are equivalent to the degrees offered by IIT, NIT, and other deemed universities.
Which one is better for pure sciences and cosmology IISER, NISER or IISC?
For pure science, IISc is the obvious choice among these. It is the best in India, in terms of research interface, faculties, and alumni base.
If you are particularly interested in Physics, you should definitely choose IISc. It has an excellent Physics department. IISc Bangalore, Department of Physics has a Theoretical Cosmology group. The research interest of the group mostly involves early universe cosmology topics. For pure science courses, the preference order for these institutes is - IISc>>IISER>NISER.
Which courses are good in UIET Chandigarh?
According to my friend studying B.Tech (IT) at UIET, this university follows the syllabus and modules of IITs. You will receive a BE degree instead of a B.Tech.
If we look at the flagship courses and placement opportunities, it may give us a rough idea of what course you should go for.
The University offers a total of ten degrees for UG and PG programs. Out of which BE remains the all-time popular course, which is offered in six branches: CSE, ECE, ME, IT, Biotechnology, Electrical, and Electronics Engineering.
As per my interaction with my friend, the best branches among these are CSE, IT, and ECE. If you are looking for some other branch, then it is suggested to look for some other college. The placement and other facilities for IT and CSE are very good.
Choose the course which is under your budget, has good placement opportunities, and obviously of your interest.
What is the salary of a scientist having a degree from IISc Bangalore?
The salaries received by the scientists having a degree from IISc Bangalore depend upon their field of specialization. Computer science and application (CSA) students get higher salaries as compared to other fields. Most students get salaries above 20 lakhs per annum. These students have expertise in subjects like Machine learning, Data mining, computer vision, and allied fields. However, students having a pure science background have an average package of 6-9 LPA. Another factor that influences the salary is the country where the recruiting company is located or type of the research labs you are getting recruited.
The placement cell is proactive which ensures lucrative packages to most students. There is an OCCAP portal where students need to register to get all updates regarding the placement activities. During 2019 placement, 25% of the students got packages ranging between 20 LPA to 30 LPA which was followed by 24% of students with packages ranging between 15 LPA to 20 LPA. The highest package at IISc in 2019 was 40 LPA and the average was around 10 LPA.
Should I join NIT Mizoram or any other Tier III Private Engineering College?
When considering admission to a college, it's important to think about various factors, such as location, faculty, exposure, and opportunities for career growth. Let's take a closer look at NIT Mizoram and whether it's a good choice for you.
- NIT Mizoram is located in a remote area, which may limit your exposure to various job opportunities and other activities that are available in bigger cities.
- While the faculty at NIT Mizoram may be knowledgeable, it's important to note that there is always a chance that you may not receive the education you desire or need.
- In terms of job opportunities, NIT Mizoram may not offer as many opportunities as private colleges located in bigger cities. This is partly due to its location and also due to its smaller size.
However, it's also important to keep in mind that your chances of getting a good job or succeeding in your career don't just depend on the college you attend. It's up to you to put in the effort and take advantage of the resources available to make the most of your college experience.
Private colleges in bigger cities may offer more opportunities for internships, networking, and exposure to various industries, which could increase your chances of finding a good job after graduation. However, it's important to consider the cost of attending private colleges in bigger cities, which may be significantly higher than attending a college like NIT Mizoram.
What are personal experiences and reviews for the Adani Institute of Infrastructure Management, Ahmedabad?
My friend has completed his PGDM from the Adani Institute of Infrastructure Management recently. His initial years were pleasant with no complaints about the management and the facilities.
But as he got used to his surroundings, he came across internal politics, employees who were not satisfied. The core faculty panel which consisted of 6 professors was changed within a year and a half.
New people replaced the ones on the placement committee. The team went through a complete revamp. Some of the people who joined for placements did not have any manners as to how to approach a company or how to be respectful with them. Even after a number of complaints, the management never paid any attention to any of them.
On contrary to what was promised, the institute only brought in 20-30% companies and they provided packages of only around 60% and the average package was 4-5 LPA.
In addition to that, most of the companies that the institute brought in were giving placements in the sales area. Most of the time, the job descriptions, packages, and even the locations were unclear. The director of the institute is hardly approachable.
The course of infrastructure management does not provide anything distinctive. It is very much like the PGDM program.
Is it all right to choose IIM, I or K over XLRI just for the IIM brand?
I will never suggest you go for IIM Kozhikode over XLRI. Because of the establishment of new IIMs, the impact of its brand has deteriorated. IIM Indore and IIM Kozhikode aren’t at the same level. Apart from IIM ABC, the only good IIM is Lucknow. If your academic records are average then only you can consider XLRI, that too is a great choice. If you are financially weak, then FMS is the one for you.
However, the harsh reality is many companies still prefer IIM students over other B-schools. This partiality results in MBA aspirants flocking to IIMs. IIM's. If you look carefully, XLRI too is an excellent institute and is second only to IIM ABC and FMS. Additionally, those seeking specialization in HR, should not loot beyond XLRI.
So, don’t reject XLRI BM (Jamshedpur) except for IIM A, B, C, and L. One may prefer L over XL because of the IIM tag, else both are similar.
In my opinion, the preference order should be
IIM A=B=C>>L>XLRI>FMS>>IIM I>IIM K
Do CSE students really need not study physics, chemistry, and biology as students of IIIT Lucknow keep saying?
To understand the basic of CSE, you need to study science subjects such as Physics, Mathematics, etc. You need basic understanding of these subjects, to handle tough engineering concepts. These subjects also help build logical and conceptual thinking. If you don’t have a basic understanding of these subjects, you will learn to code blindly. This isn’t beneficial in long run. Top technological institutes like IIIT Hyderabad have compulsory science subjects.
