Is it true that IIT kanpur's curriculum is harder than other IITs?

NG
Neha Ghosh Posted On : April 19th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (2020)

My knowledge is limited to the Mechanical branch only as my brother was a student at IIT Kanpur. From what I heard about his experience, the curriculum is moderate, neither too heavy nor too light. He even saw many of his batchmates copying assignments and not doing one on their own throughout the 5 years. 

The mid and end-semester exams are usually from the notes. The average of the class is very low with everyone performing poorly. up getting a B in that course. There are some exceptional professors who do tough grading, but that is rare and mostly CPI isn’t affected.

Projects and term papers are supposed to be done as a group and carry a lot of weightage. But they are quite easy as one of the studious members of the group ends up doing all the work. 

In IIT Kanpur, one can easily score 7 CPI with average preparation done in 1 week for mid and end semesters while 1 or 2 days for projects/term papers. Hence I wouldn’t say the IIT Kanpur’s curriculum is harder than other IITs.

Which is best in NIT Trichy, ECE or EEE?

RY
Ritu Yadav Posted On : September 6th, 2021
Studies Electrical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology, Patna (2022)

Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) are two different branches of engineering. As some of my friends had these courses, I can share some details about them, later analyzing which you can make a decision. 

  • EEE is concerned with electrical engineering, which encompasses circuits, transformers, electrostatics, magnetics, and other related topics.
  • ECE is concerned with the electrical and communication aspects of the subject. Communication is learning a programming language, VLSI, and coding. After CSE, it is the most popular branch among students.
  • As a matter of interest, both the ECE and EEE branches are fascinating and demanding. 
  • Hence, one should choose either of the two based on his or her own personal interests.
  • If you don't have a particular interest and want to choose based on placement opportunities, then ECE is recommended. 
  • It has a scope that is even greater than CSE. 

Because CSE is currently at its pinnacle and will almost certainly reach saturation in the next 4 to 5 years. So, at this time, it would be wiser to choose ECE. regardless of the college, whether it is NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, or any other NITs or IITs in India.

Are the students of NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, NIT Surathkal, and IIIT Hyderabad as good as an IITian/BITSian?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : April 26th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

When it comes to being a good student in engineering, the key factor is the ability to think effectively and perform well in studies while maintaining excellent practical skills. However, the opportunities provided by the institute can also play a significant role in shaping a student's career and future prospects.

Here are some points to consider when evaluating the impact of opportunities on a student's success:

  • IITians are provided with ample opportunities to present their ideas and projects, which can give them an edge over other students. This may lead to more visibility and recognition for their work, resulting in better career prospects.
  • NITs may provide comparatively fewer opportunities, which means that even if a student has an innovative idea or project, they may not get the chance to present it to a wider audience. This could limit their visibility and recognition in the industry, despite their potential.
  • Private colleges may provide the least opportunities, which can make it difficult for students to showcase their skills and stand out in a crowded job market. This can also limit their exposure to industry trends and developments, which may hinder their growth as professionals.

However, it is important to note that the opportunities provided by an institute do not necessarily reflect the quality of education or the potential of the students. Here are some examples to illustrate this point:

  • Two engineers, one from an IIT and another from an NIT discover a new gadget that is not very effective. In this case, the IITian may have a better chance of presenting their idea to the public and gaining recognition, but it does not necessarily mean that they are a better student than the NITian. Both students may have equal potential and skills, but the opportunities provided by their respective institutes may differ.
  • Similarly, in private colleges, only a few students may get noticed because of limited opportunities, but this does not mean that the rest of the students are not capable or talented. It is possible that the other students have excellent skills and potential, but they did not get a chance to showcase their abilities due to a lack of opportunities.

In conclusion, while opportunities provided by an institute can play a significant role in shaping a student's career and future prospects, it is important to remember that they do not necessarily reflect the quality of education or the potential of the students. As a student, it is crucial to focus on developing your skills and knowledge and seek out opportunities to showcase your abilities, regardless of the institute you attend.
