Is it worthwhile doing an MBA in UPES Dehradun?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 3rd, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Every B-school has its unique strengths and so does UPES Dehradun which is famous for its domain-specific MBA. If you are willing to pursue an MBA in oil and gas, power management, or energy trading, choosing UPES Dehradun will be the right decision. It offers a plethora of opportunities in these domains and the ROI is also great. There are some industry-specific courses too but their placements are just average.

The best part about UPES is the diversity of the crowd. You will get the chance to interact with people from various backgrounds such as law, management, engineering, and design thus enhancing the learning experience manifolds. 

Ultimately, I will suggest you go for UPES Dehradun only if you are planning to pursue a domain-specific MBA, else you can go for better B Schools.

What should I take, Metallurgy and Material Science Engineering at IIT Indore or Electrical Engineering at IIT Bhilai?

AR
Anirudh Roy Posted On : January 11th, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, KGP (2020)

In general, it is better to choose the branch of your choice. Given below are a few trade-offs of the two choices given on the question which may help you in making the decision. 

MEMS - IIT Indore:

  • Administration: IIT Indore belongs to the 2008-09 batch of IITs. Although it can’t be compared with older IITs but it has made remarkable progress in this short span of time. The administration and departments are well-settled. Extra-curricular at the institute are also developing with time. In 4-5 years, the institute is expected to have a great future.
  • Course: BTech MEMS at IIT Indore is fairly new and the duration of the existence of the course is the same as the B Tech Electrical course at IIT Bhilai. However, the MEMS department has been functioning for a while at IIT Indore. As a department it has experience. The faculties are great. 
  • Placements: MEMS has a lower placement rate as compared to other core branches of engineering. Metallurgy and Material Science is a niche field of study and the degree outcome is more research-oriented. 
  • Change of Branch: However, you can change your branch to Electrical or Mechanical from MEMES at IIT I, if you work hard in your 1st year. Changing to CS is always difficult because of the competition.

Electrical at IIT Bhilai:

  • Facilities: IIT Bhilai was established back in 2016. It is only 4 years old. Electrical is a core Engineering discipline with better career prospects. But the disadvantage of this choice is the institute. You will have a few seniors in your branch and temporary faculties.
  • Extracurricular: You will have good opportunities to start events, clubs, in the institute. On the other hand, the future at this institute is a bit uncertain.
  • Campus Life: The institute also does not have a proper campus. You will not have a proper campus life for the next 4 years. 

The table below shows a brief overview of the two institutes.

Particulars

IIT Indore

IIT Bhilai

Average CTC

17 LPA

11.22 LPA

Seats

53

54

Fees

INR 9.15 Lakh

INR 4.90 Lakh

One of my friends had an option between Mechanical at IIT Indore and CS at a new IIT. He chose Mechanical at IIT Indore. Judging by his experience it is safe to say that he made the right decision at least for 2-3 more years. 

The choice is up to you if you would rather trade off on the branch or on the institution. If you are confident you can secure a good future from the limited opportunities a new IIT can offer, you should go for it.

Which is better, NIT Trichy or IIT Bhubaneswar?

A
Admin Posted On : June 28th, 2024

I am a second year B.Tech CSE student at IIT Bhubaneswar. Here are some details on both these institutions-

  • NIT Trichy is an old NIT, and it ranks among the top engineering colleges in India. The placement record at NIT Trichy is quite good. The best placements are recorded in postgraduate programs of NIT Trichy. Top companies like Facebook, Google, Cognizant, Essar, Amazon, etc. visit the NITT campus for placements.
  • IIT Bhubaneswar is a 2nd gen IIT that is continuously progressing. In 2023, the institution saw a great rise in its placement figures. Almost 88% of students got placements from the campus, and companies like Accenture, Amazon, DELL, Adobe, Tata Steel, Honeywell, etc. visited for recruitments. 

Here is a comparison between NIT Trichy and IIT Bhubaneswar:

Parameters IIT Bhubaneswar NIT Trichy
NIRF 2024 Engineering Ranking 26 12
Highest Package (2023) INR 55.75 LPA INR 52.89 LPA
Average Package (2023) INR 17.50 LPA (for B.Tech)
INR 12.20 LPA (for M.Tech)
INR 27.27 LPA

Even though NIT Trichy is an older and more reputed institution out of the two, these statistics make it clear that IIT Bhubaneswar has made tremendous progress over the years. As a result, it is quickly catching up to the older IITs and NITs in terms of academics and placements.
