Does Amity University, Gwalior provide conveyance to the day scholars?

SM
Sambit Mohanty Posted On : May 21st, 2021
studied at Madhav Institute of Technology and Science (2016)

Amity University, Gwalior provides a conveyance facility to all the day scholars. My brother was a student of the institute and graduated recently. 

The university has acquired around 12 buses which will be used for the conveyance. Amity University Gwalior provides a safe, convenient, and reliable bus facility, but you need to pay a nominal amount for availing of the service there will be some additional charges that you have to ask the administration, and a bus pass will be issued further, which you are required to carry with yourself at all the time. I hope this helps.

Which is better for CS: IIIT Delhi or NIT Kurukshetra?

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

Although both IIITs and NITs have a similar brand image, I advise you to keep IIIT Delhi as your first preference. Here are two solid reasons why 

  • Better campus placements: Generally, Government colleges like IITs and NITs do not approach companies for placements like private colleges. So their placements are usually a result of their brand value and location. That being said, IIIT Delhi has an excellent location and therefore attracts many more companies than NIT Kurukshetra.
  • A good environment: The CS-tailored dynamic environment at IIIT Delhi helps improve your aptitude considerably. The crowd at both the colleges might be similar but IIIT Delhi definitely provides a much better exposure outside college. 

So the best option for CS is certainly IIIT Delhi.

How is civil at MNNIT Allahabad?

RS
Ronit Sharma Posted On : April 29th, 2021
Lives in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India

If you strictly want a 7-figure salary during the campus placements, then Civil Engineering is not for you, neither here at MNNIT Allahabad, nor at any other institute. Even IIT Bombay placement offers will not look lucrative compared to their other branches. 

The actual reasons for which you should consider Civil Engineering at MNNIT Allahabad are as follows.

  • Higher Studies: The GATE 2017 top 4 rank holders were from MNNIT Allahabad as was the 2nd rank holder in GATE 2016 in the Civil Engineering paper. 
  • Faculty: The faculty is much better than their non-core counterparts and is highly motivated to make their students flourish in the entrance exams. The results speak for themselves.
  • Opportunities other than private companies – Government departments such as Public Works Department (PWD), Institution of Railway Signal Engineers (IRSE), Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORTH), National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), and various others who select candidates through Engineering Services Examination (ESE). Maharatna and Navratna PSUs take candidates who qualify GATE exam.
  • Private Sector: Private Companies such as Gammon, L&T not only visit campus but also conduct off-campus drives and recruit students. Although the initial salary will be lower than top private IT companies.

So, if you are genuinely interested in civil engineering then there would not be any dearth of opportunities after completing the degree.

How is life at NIT Raipur? How are freshers treated? What is the scenario of ragging? What about hostel, mess food and seniors?

CR
Chandrakana Ray Posted On : March 26th, 2021
B.Tech National Institutes of Technology, National Institute of Technology, Raipur (2021)

NIT Raipur is a good college and one can definitely opt for this college. The infrastructure is very good with all facilities like wifi, laboratories, library, common rooms, etc are available. 

  • The campus placements are also good enough especially for computer science students where they get placed in many top companies. 
  • It has a good environment where you can learn many things besides academics and improve your soft skills too. 
  • The course curriculum is nice and the faculty members are experienced and knowledgeable in their subjects.
  • Freshers are treated very well in this college and the seniors are very helpful too. They are friendly and help in academics by teaching important topics and helping to complete the assignments.

NIT Raipur is completely free of ragging as it is strictly prohibited in this college and there are certain rules to stop ragging in college. There are also some officers assigned to take care of the freshers and prevent ragging inside the campus.

The hostel scenario is not up to the mark. You will get a room based on your JEE rank and in some cases, students don't even get a room and they have to stay outside of the college. The mess food is also not that good and the quality gets degrading day by day. So life at the hostel wouldn't be good if you expected something great.

How much are the packages offered in the electrical branch at IIT Delhi?

SG
Sushmita Gupta Posted On : April 3rd, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

I am the right person who can answer this question because my brother recently completed his BTech in Electrical Engineering from IIT Delhi. He revealed the actual side of the placements in Electrical, the side that no media covers and is the dark reality.

Indeed there are packages as high as INR 70 LPA, but these opportunities are outside India in countries like Singapore, South Korea, the US or the UK. Other core jobs offered to Electrical students are limited to India and are very few with average packages.

The only perk of being a student of this branch is that it is a general branch covering diverse sectors and you are open to sitting for placements in all sectors be it Finance, Consultancy, Core, Coding, or Data Science. Electrical Engineering is a generalized and vast branch. However, the packages for these are mediocre with the highest around 25 LPA (CTC). The in-hand salary is much lower.

The companies offering the highest packages in India include 

  • Samsung
  • Goldman Sachs
  • Tower Research Capital
  • Quadeye

Other companies offer average packages in the range of 15-16 LPA only.

Why is CUSAT so popular even if it ranked 55th among engineering colleges?

AR
Ankur Rai Posted On : July 22nd, 2021
B.Tech from Cochin University Of Science and Technology (2019)

There are several reasons why CUSAT is popular even though it is ranked 55th. My friends from the institute were able to provide a few such reasons which are as follows.

  • A lot of proposals have been made by MHRD to convert CUSAT as a Central University. But unfortunately, there are too many political issues that could not let CUSAT change into a central university.
  • CUSAT has distinct departments such as Naval Architecture, Department of Photonics, Polymer and Rubber Technology, Marine Engineering, etc.
  • CUSAT is very strict in terms of its academics and research. And that discipline is carried out by CUSAT students too. It helps them in performing well even outside the campus. And helps them to grow in their career.

So, yes CUSAT is popular among engineering students. Because of its discipline, strong academics, and research culture.

Some colleges like ISB, BITS Pilani, XLRI, SPJAIN, etc. do not have a caste-based reservation. Is it not mandatory for all colleges in India?

PD
Pratim Dasgupta Posted On : April 22nd, 2023
PGDM HRM, Xavier School of Management

Caste-based reservations in higher education institutions are mandated by the Constitution of India, specifically under Articles 15(4) and 16(4). These articles allow for the reservation of seats in educational institutions for students belonging to Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs), who have historically been marginalized and disadvantaged in Indian society.

However, it's important to note that private institutions, such as ISB, BITS Pilani, XLRI, SPJAIN, etc., are not required to provide caste-based reservations. These institutions have the autonomy to decide their own admission policies, including the reservation policies they choose to implement.

In recent years, there has been some debate about whether or not private institutions should also be required to provide caste-based reservation, but no concrete policy changes have been made at the national level as of yet. Some states, such as Maharashtra, have mandated caste-based reservations in private educational institutions through state-level policies, but this is not yet a nationwide trend.

It's worth noting that even private institutions that don't have caste-based reservations may still have other forms of affirmative action policies or scholarships for disadvantaged students, including those from SC/ST/OBC backgrounds. Ultimately, the admission policies of each institution will depend on their individual values and priorities.

Should I choose BITS Goa or NIT K/W/T?

SB
Saumita Banerjee Posted On : August 20th, 2021
Studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

BITS Goa is better than NIT K/W/T.

  • A great factor about BITS is the process of admission is executed based on the merit of the candidates, and not based on the system of reservation which is being followed by many institutions in India. 
  • The institution has adopted the curriculum of the courses from MIT.
  • The student crowd is very good at BITS. 
  • My friend is a graduate of the institution and claims that the infrastructure of the college campus is among the best in India.
  • The placement of the institution is also extremely good in comparison with many IITs and NITs of India. The placement statistics of BITs Goa are mentioned in the table below for reference.
Particulars Salary/ Statistics (2020)
Average Package offered INR 24.8 Lakhs per annum
Highest Package offered INR 43.3 Lakhs per annum
Major recruiters  Amazon, Oyo, Synchrony

Lastly, the choice is yours. You should do thorough research about all these institutions, and choose based on your interests.

  • The other allowances that an IES officer gets are House Rent Allowance (HRA), Office Vehicle, Dearness Allowance (DA), Leave Travel Allowance (LTA), Gratuity, Provident Fund (PF), Leave Encashment, Peon, Driver, Domestic servant, and Personal Assistant. All these allowances vary as per three classes of cities: A, B, & C.
  • The gross salary of IES at the beginning is around 60000 INR, but the in-hand pay is around 45000-50000 INR with other non-cash allowances. Gradually, it increases with time and promotes job positions.
  • The salary in the first 5 to 10 years of a job may not be lucrative like IAS, but after 20 years, the salary is almost at par with IAS or IPS.

Compared to IES, software engineers with the same years of experience earn a lot more. The payscale is even higher for IIT, IIM graduates. A CSE graduate from IIT after 20 years of experience earns at least 30-40 LPA (plus onsite opportunities). 

Students from IITs may not have job satisfaction from IES engineering posts. Students from the Civil branch can go for IES jobs. But if you are from ECE/EEE/Mechanical try to avoid IES engineering jobs.
