What was your CGPA at IIM Ahmedabad and how did you achieve it?

AD
Anirban Dasgupta Posted On : May 25th, 2022
PGDM Marketing, Birla Institute of Management Technology

Few of my friends attended IIM Ahmedabad. One of them scored 3.56 in his first year. Here are some of the common traits that you will observe in most people who score good CGPA.

  • Attend classes regularly and internalize. The case-based pedagogy of IIM Ahmedabad is unique. You will learn a lot from the professors as well as your peers.
  • Prepare for class. Read the case study that will be discussed in class. 
  • Select a good study group.
  • Some examinations are different. Just subjective learning isn’t enough in these cases, you will have to complement it with objective aptitude. 

Doing these will help you score better.

How good are IIIT Kota and IIIT Jabalpur in terms of placement and education?

MG
Mehak Ghosal Posted On : March 17th, 2021
Studied at IIIT Kota, (2018)

IIIT Kota is very new and is yet to make a mark with respect to IIIT Jabalpur. Whereas, with IIIT-Jabalpur the placements do keep varying. More or less, the placements are improving.

Academics:

  • IIIT Jabalpur has a very sound academic curriculum owing to the fact that IIT Kanpur was its mentor.
  • In IIIT Kota the curriculum is good but it hardly matters when you have teachers with hardly any knowledge.
  • The interdisciplinary curriculum in IIIT Jabalpur makes the academic bit steadfast with the add-on of designing structure.
  • Moreover, academic projects are floated in almost every important course.
  • Hence, adding a skill set to the students.

So, to put it together, the academics are nice, but placements can be improved. Being from IIIT gives you a special charm. Also, being new IIITs, they will take some time to establish themselves and the education factor is quite decent when compared to tier-2 private engineering colleges. But, they still have a long way to go reach the bar set by NITs or IITs.

The top bracket companies pay really well, but these new IIITs won't be the first choice for these companies. The mid-range paying companies will flock to these new IIITs; so, you will get a decent package.

So overall, it is better to have something than nothing.

Anamika Chaudhuri Posted On : July 13th, 2021
Studied at Chandigarh University (2019)

As far as the name of the university is concerned, let me tell you that PESIT became PES University back in 2014.

It is also known as PESU and like every other university, it also has its own advantages and disadvantages. The authorities at the university are keen on trying to create a strong workforce.

  • With PESU being in the early stages of its development, it also requires attention in many areas. For this, the authorities are quite careful with and everything.
  • Now, when you talk about PESIT VTU or PESIT South Campus, this college follows the pattern set by VTU. So, you can easily trust it.
  • This pattern has been tried and tested and quite a lot of colleges are known to follow it. But, PESU on the other hand, is trying something new.

The first batch at PESU passed out in 2018. You can accordingly check how well this and the other batches are doing and if taking admission at PESU is a risk worth undertaking.

Categories PESIT PESU
Course Fee 13.6 lakh 2.35 lakh
Highest CTC 30 LPA 35 LPA
Average CTC 12 LPA 16 LPA
Recruiting Companies Wipro, Cognizant, Infosys, HP, etc. TCS, IBM, Accenture, Capgemini, etc.

If you are looking for a practical and useful curriculum, you should think of applying to PESU as the curriculum here will provide you with exactly this.

Which NIT is better, NIT Patna or NIT Jamshedpur?

AS
Aditi Sukla Posted On : March 2nd, 2024
Lives in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India

NIT Jamshedpur is much better than NIT Patna. NIT Patna lacks the necessary facilities. Moreover, its campus is very small in size. My brother completed his B.Tech Mechanical from NIT Patna, and this information was given to me by him.

NIT Jamshedpur has a better campus, and its placements are also comparatively better. But if you are an IES, GATE, etc. aspirant, NIT Patna is slightly better for you. It is located in the main city because of which, it has easy access to good coaching centers like Madeeasy and Ace.

Which is better, IIT Hyderabad CSE or IIT Madras EE?

MB
Mansi Bhatnagar Posted On : February 29th, 2024

This question can only have a subjective answer. I have myself done my B.Tech EE from IIT Madras, but I would recommend you consider several factors before arriving at a decision-

Your subject of interest matters a lot, even more than your college. Make sure to select the branch that interests you. Take a good look at the curriculum and course offerings of both these options, and find out which of them aligns with your career/academic goals. Also consider the specialization opportunities offered by each option. 

Look at the research interests and projects undertaken by faculty members of each program. Realize whose interests align with you the most. Getting into research work at UG level will only be beneficial for you. Take a visit to both the institutes or consult some seniors to find out which one offers better infrastructure, campus life and other facilities. 

Personally speaking, I’ve had an excellent experience at the Electrical department of IIT Madras. So, if you don’t have a particular interest in CS, you may very well consider EE at IITM.

Is biotechnology at IIT Madras a good course? Does it have better placements in India?

Satyam Purwar Posted On : February 5th, 2024

Biotechnology is rooted in Biology, not Mathematics or Analytics. If you are even remotely interested in Biology, you’ll easily understand the courses. Else, you’ll struggle in this branch. Biotech has a lot of opportunities in research. 

IIT Madras Biotech will give you some industry exposure too. You’ll get equal opportunities as other branch students for non core sectors (finance, economics, consulting, analytics, management, coding, etc.). But the opportunities are very limited for core jobs.

How is the hostel and mess food at NIT Raipur?

AM
Arpit Mukherjee Posted On : August 25th, 2022
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Raipur

The hostel facilities of NIT Raipur are good. The hostel rooms are two-seater and 3-seater. Hostels - A, B, D, and F for first-year students. Hostel E and G are for first-year girls. A and B are specious. D and F are a little congested in comparison. The institute provides all the basic facilities.

Mess food is decent. Mostly north-Indian food is provided. Everyone gets used to the mess food after a while.

How good are the professors at IIT Ropar?

DK
Deepesh Khanna Posted On : September 16th, 2021
Studied B.Tech CSE from Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (2023)

The faculty at IIT Ropar is great. The majority of the professors hold a Ph.D. degree. They are cooperative and provide proper guidance in projects as well as examination preparations.

The lectures are enough for understanding the courses and you would not even need to take help from tuitions. Professors explain the topics in an easier way so that you can easily grasp their subject matter.

However, when it comes to attendance, you are required to maintain a 75% attendance. The professors are not lenient if the students miss the classes. The same goes with the assignments and presentations which need to meet the deadline. Delaying your submissions would only bring you in a tough position.
