Which college is better for a B.Tech in CSE? I am getting CS in BIT Patna, Galgotia Engineering College Noida & Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering in Bengaluru.
I would suggest that you opt for Galgotia Engineering College. As per the experience of a few of my friends who are currently enrolled in one of the courses at the institution offers good campus life, infrastructure, facilities, fee structure, and an ideal environment for learning.
In comparison with the other two colleges mentioned in the question, Galgotia College is better for almost every aspect mentioned above. The members of the faculty are well educated with over 10 years of experience in their respective fields.
The table below shows the highlights of Galgotias University placements 2020.
| Particulars | Statistics |
| Job offers made | 1,000+ ((Engineering & MBA) |
| Placements percentage (2020) | 96% |
| Lowest Package offered | INR 10 Lakhs per annum |
| Average Package offered | INR 8.75 Lakhs per annum |
| Top recruiters | Cognizant, Wipro, Infosys, Ericsson, TCS, and Amazon |
Going by the above factors I will say Galgotia Engineering College, Noida is better than BIT Patna or Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering, Bangalore.
Is IIM Indore doing right by adding courses after courses like IPM, Mumbai Campus and now PGP-HRM?
Courses like IPM and PGP-HRM are bold, outstanding, and pathbreaking. It took great hard work for the decision-makers to start these courses. However, the amount of success for these completely depends upon the intention.
The real question would be, “Why IPM? Why Mumbai Campus? And why opting for HRM course?”. If the answer to all of these questions is “Money” then whether IIM Indore is doing right or not will depend on the number of admissions, fees, and the ROI.
If the answer to your question is “for a good career”, then the success completely depends upon the faculty, facilities, and placements. Even if the intentions are considered to be good, most government bodies do not take the lead and act from the front.
It is very confusing to say if the students are too ignorant to believe what they see or if the institutions are providing incorrect information
Which should I prefer, electrical engineering at BITS Pilani, Pilani campus or CSE at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad campus?
According to my friends studying at BITS Pilani, you should go with CSE. As it has got quite higher packages and has a greater number of job opportunities.
- The campus hardly matters. You should pick your stream carefully, as it will determine your career.
- Check the faculty, alumni, and the scope your chosen stream offers.
- Due to the rapid growth of the corporate world and IT firms, there is a huge demand for CSE graduates.
- BITS overall provides a good curriculum as well as placement. Choose the branch you feel confident about.
There are many top companies that participate in the placement drives conducted by BITS Pilani. They include companies like Microsoft, Capgemini, Accenture, TCS, Cognizant, IBM, Mindtree, ZS Associates, HCL, HP, Morgan & Stanley, etc.
It is suggested that you go for CSE rather than electrical due to its huge demand and scope. But ultimately it is your decision to make.

What score is required for Civil engineer for NITIE Mumbai in GATE? Also historically how many students of civil engineering backgrounds are there in Pgdie and Pgdpm?
I think I can give you some information regarding this as I have friends who graduated from NITIE.
Approximately a score of around 700 + in the GATE examination for the general category can get you a call for the interview rounds of NITIE. The total number of seats available for Civil Engineering students through GATE, PGDIE-144 & PGDPM-44, is 188.
However, it is a bit difficult to answer your second question, but if you fulfill the eligibility criteria and prepare well, you will have a fair and equal chance of getting through the interview rounds which are GD & PI. In NITIE Mumbai the maximum number of students are from the mechanical/ production branch and then Civil, CSE, and ECE branches.
NITIE does not disclose the shortlisting or selection criteria. You have to do well and have good scores to get through.
I have the following college options for joining in MBA i.e IIM Sirmaur, IIT Roorkee, SIOM Nashik and XIMB, Bubaneswar. Which order of preference is appropriate?
My order of preference will be IIT Roorkee> IIM Sirmaur> XIMB Bhubaneswar> SIOM Nashik. When considering which institution to choose for an MBA, several factors should be taken into account.
Here are some points to consider regarding IIM Sirmaur, IIT Roorkee, SIOM Nashik and XIMB Bhubaneswar:
| Parameter | IIM Sirmaur | IIT Roorkee | SIOM Nashik | XIMB Bhubaneswar |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NIRF Management Ranking 2023 | 98 | 18 | N/A | 46 |
| Establishment Year | 2015 | 1998 | 2005 | 1987 |
| Average Package | 14.45 | 18.34 | 14.35 | 16.64 |
| Recruiting Companies | Deloitte, Accenture, Cognizant, Schneider Electric, Hero Motors etc. | IDBI Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, IBM, BHEL etc. | Arrow Textiles Limited, Delta Finochem, Atlas Copco India Limited etc. | PwC, Deloitte, Goldman Sachs, Coca-Cola, L'Oreal, Nestle, Tata Steel, Amazon etc. |
Even though IIMs have a strong reputation in India for their management courses, IIM Sirmaur is quite new. It will take time to establish its brand name. SIOM is an older management institute but it is private, as opposed to IIM Sirmaur and IIT Roorkee. XIMB is a good institute, but its fees are high as compared to others.
I would recommend you choose IIT Roorkee for an MBA because of its affordable fees, top class infrastructure, and a well established brand name.
Is joining new IIMs (Ranchi, Trichy, Udaipur) worth it? How will be the career growth after an MBA from new ones?
The career growth offered by the new IIMs is difficult to analyze as they haven’t been established for long. One cannot infer their worth easily as its alumni are yet to establish themselves in the corporate world. It will take a few more years to determine the growth of CEO alums career-wise.
If you are concerned about the general job prospects, try going through the placement reports of these IIMs. You will get a general idea of the packages and roles offered.
To know if the new IIMs are worth going for, you need to check what you are expecting from these B Schools. If you are looking for basic learning and a small push to kickstart your career, the new IIMs will benefit you. But if you are on the lookout for high ROI, the new IIMs may or may not satisfy your expectations.
I had scored 76.5/81.4/75 in 10th, 12th, and graduation respectively with zero work experience. I am a non-engineer. Is there any chance to get IIM Amritsar, Vizag, and Rohtak?
Based on your academic performance, you have the potential to be admitted to the top 30 colleges for MBA programs. It is recommended to focus on preparing for and achieving the best percentile possible in exams such as CAT and other relevant exams. It is unclear who has provided you with the options previously mentioned, but it is important to consider other options that may be more suitable for you.
Some of the options that you have a chance to receive an invitation from and potentially convert into an acceptance include the following:
- Indian Institute of Management - Calcutta (IIM-C)
- New Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs)
- Institute of Management Technology (IMT)
- Management Development Institute (MDI)
- T.A Pai Management Institute (TAPMI)
- International Management Institute (IMI)
- FORE School of Management
- Mudra Institute of Communications (MICA)
- Xavier Institute of Management (XIMB)
- Loyola Institute of Business Administration (LIBA)
- Symbiosis
- Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS)
It is always important to make informed decisions by researching and discussing your options before making a final decision.
How hard did I work to get NITIE?
Before talking about NITIE, you should focus more on the exams required for admission to the institute: CAT or GATE.
Aim for high scores in the exam you are appearing to get shortlisted not just from NITIE but from other good or even better institutions. Find the previous year's cut-off for the shortlist and target that. To be honest there is not much difference between the cut-offs and getting very high scores.
NITIE 2021 Cut off
| Category | CAT Cutoff (PGDIM) | CAT Cutoff (PGDIE) |
| General | 97 | 86 |
| OBC | 75 | 75 |
| SC/ST | 65 | 75 |
| PwD | 75 | 65 |
Once you are shortlisted, prepare well for the GD and PI rounds, groom yourself, improve your presentation skills, and put on a confident smile to get through these rounds.
You should study hard for gaining the maximum score that you can achieve.
Which is a better option, EEE at IIT Dharwad, EC at BITS Pilani Hyderabad campus, EnI at BITS Pilani campus or ISE at RVCE?
IIT Dharwad is a recently established institute that attracts fewer companies and has a small alumni pool. On the other hand, BITS Pilani has graduated more than 50 batches.
The best option would be to take ECE in BITS Hyderabad or ENI in BITS Pilani. The reason I am against you joining a new IIT is that these IITs are not well-known among big companies and some recruiters don’t even consider them worthy of visiting. They know that these IITs can never be at par with the old ones. So it’s better to look beyond the IIT tag and go for BITS Pilani, an excellent choice indeed!
