Which is actually better: B.Tech VIT Chennai + BM at XLRI or B.Tech NIT Nagpur + BAA offer at ZS Associates?

YG
Yashmeet Grover Posted On : November 10th, 2020

Under the B.tech category in India of NIRF 2020, VIT Chennai is placed at 13th position whereas NIT Nagpur is spotted at number 27. VIT is popular for its B.tech CSE course unlike (V)NIT Nagpur which offers ECE as its flagship course.

BM at XLRI is one of the most demanded programs as the Institute is ranked 9th best business schools in India by NIRF 2020.

Admission

VIT Chennai:

  • VIT offers VITEEE for admission in the B.tech program.

  • Aspirants must have AIR below 5,000 in order to make it to VIT Chennai in the first round.

  • VIT offers 273 seats per branch of B.tech.

  • The annual tuition fee at VIT Chennai is 1.73 lakhs for B.tech courses.

NIT Nagpur:

  • Students must clear JEE mains in order to get admitted to NIT Nagpur.

  • Opening and closing rank for CSE, ECE, and ME are 2116-5361, 6151-8378, and 8296- 13454 respectively.

  • NIT Nagpur offers 946 seats in total across all branches.

  • The annual tuition fee for the B.tech course at NIT Nagpur is 1.3 lakhs.

XLRI:

  • XLRI conducts the Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT) followed by PI for selection.

  • 95% is the cutoff for male candidates to join the BM program whereas 93% in the case of females for the same.

  • XLRI offers a two year PGDM(BM) course at the course fee of 2.9 lakhs per annum.

Focusing back on your question, B.tech+BM will consume your six years which you have to completely dedicate to your studies. Eventually, it will turn fruitful as you will end up in a high profile job post your PGDM(BM) from XLRI. XLRI even offers 100% placement assurance and 26 LPA, average CTC.

On the other hand, B.tech from NIT Nagpur is also a good option. The BAA job profile at ZS associates will demand you to perform Excel-workbooks, PowerPoints, Data research, analysis, execution, etc depending upon the clients you work with. Having work experience is no harm where you can be financially independent 2 years prior to your option-1. You can further go back to study PGDM at any top Institutes.

The deciding factor here lies in your passion and inclination either towards HR/ management or the core Engineering field. Decide what is best for you.

Priti Mehra Posted On : January 12th, 2021
Studied B.Tech in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Sharda University (2019)

Sharda University will be a great option for you to pursue B.Tech. While studying at Sharda University I noticed that every college has more or less the same course curriculum. Miscommunications about placement drives are common, like in any other institute. The only comparison you can make among colleges to get a better idea are the placements and the salary packages offered to its students.

My fellow classmates of the 2019 batch had seen 91% placement in BTech. Over 350 companies participated in the placement program. The recruiting companies include Mu Sigma, Amazon, Johnson Controls, iGate, Adani, Wipro, D&B, Tech Mahindra, Crisil, KPMG, IBM, Global Logic, etc.

Which college should I choose, PSIT Kanpur or IMS Ghaziabad for a B.Tech through CS?

PS
Pratiksha Singh Posted On : February 13th, 2023
Lived in New Delhi -110027 (2001–2016)

In my opinion, IMS Ghaziabad is a much better option than PSIT Kanpur mainly because of its NCR location. When choosing a college, a factor of utmost importance is where the college is situated because your location will impact your college life largely. Opting for a college situated in NCR is a boon as it will give you a lot of exposure to activities and education in general. You get more exposure to industries and startups and thus getting internships is a lot easier. One more advantage is that you can avail many good coaching facilities in the NCR location which may not be possible in a city like Kanpur. 

The campus life is less strict at IMS Ghaziabad than at PSIT and there are no strict attendance rules. The fees and value of a degree are almost similar in both colleges but you can enjoy your life much better at NCR colleges. I am strongly against you joining PSIT Kanpur because

  • Not a good location
  • Unnecessary struck rules related to attendance 
  • You have to be stuck 9-5 completing unnecessary assignments which have no real importance 
  • Not a good college to enjoy life and hang out
  • No coding culture in PSIT 

Despite it all, PSIT Kanpur has a 100% placement percentage and will help you get places in CS. Weigh your options and choose wisely.

Which is better for B.Tech. mechanical at NIT Jalandhar or mechanical at NIT Rourkela overall

AT
Archana Tiwari Posted On : December 8th, 2022
B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar ( NITJ ) (Graduated 2018)

My friend is an NIT Jalandhar pass out so I can speak about that only. She regretted getting admission into NIT Jalandhar. She faced some serious problems

  • Faculty: The professors were below average in their teaching methods. Most lacked the basic knowledge and just read out from books. Moreover, if you don’t win their favor you get fewer marks in assignments. This affects your overall CGPA.

  • Crowd: It will be hard to find a diverse crowd here as most of the students hail from Punjab itself. Even their language is common within the campus.

  • Placements: Talking specifically about Mechanical Engineering placements, the condition is pretty bad. The average package this year was INR 7.87 LPA while the highest CTC was just INR 8.4 LPA.

  • Hostels: The first and second-year hostels do not have Wi-Fi connections which is a major drawback. Hostels 3-7 are also averagely built. Mega Hostels have better facilities in comparison to other hostels at NIT Jalandhar.

These are some shortcomings of NIT Jalandhar which might affect your overall experience. You can research the same for NIT Rourkela and make a comparison. In case NIT Rourkela is even worse, then NIT Jalandhar is your last option.

What are the average marks/percentages scored by BTech students at various UPTU/AKTU colleges?

DO
Deepanshi Ojha Posted On : November 9th, 2022
B.Tech from APJ Abdul Kalam University

The average percentage scored by most BTech students at AKTU/UPTU colleges is 65-70%. This can be obtained with minimal effort as marks are literally distributed here. The internal marks depend on the student's image and not his performance.

Most of the heads of Departments are just puppets controlled by management. The faculty here is usually from a C-grade engineering college. Also, the lowest form of practice here is to earn more money through evaluation. This dishonesty on the part of the faculty produces disqualified engineers. The Centre Superintendent does not care about checking the eligibility of a faculty.

So you don’t actually need to worry about average marks because marks are awarded for free at AKTU/UPTU colleges.

SY
Sanjay Yadav Posted On : November 7th, 2022
BTech from APJ Abdul Kalam University (Graduated 2017)

No, NPTEL courses are not compulsory for B.Tech. In AKTU. These courses simply aim at adding qualitative knowledge among the students. In addition, every NPTEL course grants you extra 3 credits. If you are lagging behind in B.Tech. courses then NPTEL courses will definitely help you compensate for the loss.

So it can be said that for. B.Tech. student NPTEL courses are highly recommended but not compulsory.
