Is the Sardar Patel College of Engineering in any way comparable to VJTI for the mechanical branch?

AS
Arjun Sethi Posted On : July 6th, 2021
B.Tech Electronics Engineering, Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (2017)

Comparing the mechanical branches of SPCE and VJTI, VJTI is the definite winner among the two, considering almost all factors like branding, faculty, peers, placement, etc. Mechanical Engineering is one of the best branches of VJTI.

The points below give a brief overview of VJTI and state several reasons supporting the choice.

  • The brand name of VJTI is much more reputed than SPCE and is considered to be a badge for engineering aspirants. VJTI is much more known to foreign universities and institutes than SPCE.
  • The average IQ of students from VJTI is much more than that of SPCE, as evident from students’ reviews of the two institutes. Most likely, students in SPCE have a lower thinking ability than that of VJIT.
  • In VJTI, there are clubs namely SAE, Inferno, SRA engaged in a lot of technical, cultural, and social interactive activities among students.
  • Mechanical Engineering of VJIT has some of the best teachers in the institute. Some of them, for example, Dr. Tendolkar, Dr. Deshpande, Dr. Kulkarni, etc, have exceptional skills in teaching their respective fields.
  • In VJTI, there are very few teachers who are not quite good. But, in SPCE, the mechanical engineering branch actually lacks a sufficient number of good teachers, some of whose lectures are sometimes confusing.
  • As usual, VJTI tops in terms of placement of the two institutes by a high margin. Most companies offering jobs in Mechanical Engineering at VJTI offer excellent packages to students. In SPCE Mechanical Engineering, the placement scenario is average, with a lesser overall placement percentage.

Therefore, SPCE is in no way comparable to VJTI, the latter being a much better institute in terms of all considerable factors.

What are the criteria to get admission into IIM Ahmedabad?

Sayantani Barman Posted On : October 6th, 2023

IIM Ahmedabad's admission process is carried out into three stages:

  1. CAT Score Shortlisting: In the initial stage, candidates are shortlisted based on their CAT (Common Admission Test) scores. To increase your chances, a CAT score of around 99+ is recommended.
  2. WAT-PI Shortlisting: In the second stage, students who have applied for the Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI) process are shortlisted. This selection is based on a combination of factors, including past academic performance and CAT scores.
  3. Final Selection Parameters: After the WAT-PI round, a composite score is calculated to determine the final selection. For the final selection, 10% weightage will be given to the AWT, 40% weightage to PI, and 50% weightage to the composite score. Where, Composite Score = Application Rating Score + Normalized CAT score.

And, Application Rating score is based on class 10th, 12th and bachelor exams, and work experience scores. Rather than that several parameters are considered, including:

  • CAT Score
  • Graduation Score
  • 10th Grade Score
  • 12th Grade Score
  • Performance in WAT/GD-PI
  • Academic Diversity
  • Gender Diversity
  • Work Experience (if applicable)

It's important to note that a consistently good academic record, along with a high CAT score, plays a significant role in securing a spot at IIM Ahmedabad. Additionally, the institution values diversity and considers gender diversity and academic diversity as part of the selection process.

PS
Paramita Sammadar Posted On : August 7th, 2021
Studied at IET Lucknow (2019)

IET Lucknow is a very popular and reputed college of our country and a lot of students across the country apply for admissions in this college. 

  • If your OBC rank is 2500 on the UPSEE, then your general rank would be around 10,000 - 12,000. 
  • With this rank it would be tough to get admission in IET Lucknow but you can apply through vacant seats. You must be aware of these seats, as they fill quickly. 
  • If IET does not happen, you can also apply for MMM Gorakhpur 
  • It is also a very reputed state university and it is also under the autonomous council. 
  • You can also take admission in JSS, except CSE or IT branch. 
  • Getting into any other government colleges can be very difficult with your rank.

If you have one more chance to appear for JEE Main, then go for it. If you are able to score a better rank even by spending one more year then it will be worth it. You will then be able to get into a good college.

There are a number of criteria that Thapar University students need to fulfill in order to pass. A few of them have been listed below

  • Students scoring between 33 and 27 in one subject, and more than 33 in others, get a D grade without repeating the course.
  • Students scoring between 33 and 30 in two subjects, and more than 33 in others, get D grades in both subjects
  • Students who fail to fulfill the above 2 criteria get an E grade in a subject and can appear for an exam, the marks of which are substituted as END SEM marks. If your marks become more than 33, then you get a D grade in the subject,
  • If a student fails to secure more than 33 even after this exam,  then they have to repeat the subject in the next semester and they will be getting a D grade on passing the subject.

Hope this helped you!

XLRI or IIM Lucknow?

ES
Ekta Singh Posted On : February 13th, 2023
Student, traveler, foodie, and lazy.

Comparing XLRI and IIM Lucknow in terms of placements can be difficult unless you have personally gone through the process at either institution. Both institutions have a variety of firms that come to recruit from them. However, it depends on your career aspirations and interests. If your focus is on HR, XLRI is the better option. However, if your interests lie in other areas such as marketing and finance, IIM Lucknow may be a better fit as it has more firms that regularly visit across these domains, particularly in consulting.

In terms of infrastructure, IIM Lucknow has better on-campus facilities for both recreation and academics. However, it is worth noting that the infrastructure at both institutions should not present significant problems.

Finally, when considering the alumni network, the IIM tag opens more doors. XLRI is a well-respected brand, but the sheer number of IIM Lucknow alumni in the job market makes it stand out.

In conclusion, the decision between XLRI and IIM Lucknow largely depends on whether or not you want to study HR. If you do, XLRI is the better option, otherwise, IIM Lucknow is a better choice in terms of placements, infrastructure, and alumni network.

Should I prefer IIIT Pune over IIIT Vadodara?

Rohan Pawar Posted On : April 8th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science Engineering, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Pune (2021)

IIIT Pune would be a better option than IIIT Vadodara as it gives better exposure and has a decent placement record. 

One of my relatives studies there, and it gives the idea about the college very well. However, the college is newly settled and not as old as other IIIT. It is growing and improving and in upcoming years it may become the top college in Maharashtra.

The following table shows you the placement scenario of both colleges.

Category

IIIT Pune

IIIT Vadodara

Recruiters 

Amazon, L&T InfoTech, MAQ Software, TCS, Valuefy, Virtusa, etc.

Amazon, Adobe, ICICI Bank, Mathworks, Quicker, Capillary, etc.

Lowest Package 

INR 5 LPA

INR 7 LPA

Highest Package 

INR 22 LPA

INR 43.5 LPA

As IIIT Pune has a good placement cell, various top companies come for campus placement. Like Gojek, Amazon, L&T InfoTech, MAQ Software, TCS, Valuefy, Virtusa, Internshala, Oracle, Cisco, ElasticRun, and many more. 

Therefore, you must join IIIT Pune as along with good placement it provides a wide exposure. As Pune city is an IT hub you will get to explore various opportunities here than Vadodara.

How are the hostels in Manit Bhopal?

SB
Shivani Bansal Posted On : November 8th, 2023
Studied at Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, Bhopal

I will describe my experience of hostel 10, through which you’ll get an idea of the hostels at MANIT Bhopal-

B.Tech freshers are allotted Hostel 10 at MANIT. The hostel is divided into four blocks- A,B,C and D. Each block has 32 dorm rooms, two washroom complexes, two water coolers, an internal courtyard, a mess hall, two common rooms, a guest house, and a T.T. room. 

The freshers stay in blocks C and D, and blocks A and B are given to senior B.Tech students. Block C and D are isolated and fenced from the other two blocks. All the rooms are well maintained and in good condition. Due to a shortage of rooms, three students share a single room, instead of two. 

The hostel wifi gives decent connectivity. If lucky, you’ll have access to good wifi speed in your hostel room, otherwise, you’ll have to manage with your own internet connection. There is no LAN connectivity in the hostel at present. You can use electrical appliances as no checking takes place. If you get a back facing room in C block, you’ll have access to a serene balcony view. The common rooms are used for DJ nights, Ganesh Chaturthi, etc. We also play holi on the premises. The night view from the rooftop is mesmerizing. 

Overall, the hostels at MANIT Bhopal are spacious and well maintained.
