Among NIT Delhi, DTU, and NSIT, which one is better in terms of placement?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 5th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

I assume you are a fresher and that’s why you are evaluating a college's worth through its placements. In reality, the placements released by these colleges are not precise so aren’t a credible criterion. You will be surprised to know that even top institutes like IITs are not able to achieve 100% placements. Even NSIT and DTU which show high packages of cries, are quite misleading. These high packages fail to show the situation of the average students that receive low packages and sometimes even remain unplaced. 

As for NIT Delhi, it’s still in its development phase and also has an average placement scenario. However, it has a good placement percentage and even average students manage to get a job easily. Nevertheless, I have done a comparative analysis of the placement scenario of these institutes.

Particulars

NIT Delhi (2021)

NSIT

DTU

Number of recruiters 

73

403

Highest CTC 

INR 46 LPA

-

INR 1.8 CPA

Average CTC

INR 15.16 LPA

Adobe, Amadeus, Avalara, Code Nation, etc.

Microsoft, Amazon, Texas Instrument, Google, Qualcomm, Cisco, Hero Moto Corp, etc

Samsung, Instabase, Atlassian, Sprinklr, Amazon, Alphonso, Salesforce, Microsoft, Adobe, etc

From the above statistics it can be inferred that DTU has the best placements followed by NSIT and NIT Delhi.

Which one is better, NIT Rourkela or NIT Warangal?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : August 17th, 2023

NIT Rourkela and NIT Warangal are among the top NITs. In the NIRF Rankings 2023 for Engineering colleges, NIT Rourkela is at the 16th position while NIT Warangal is at the 21st position. 

One of the reasons why NIT R is behind NIT Trichy and NIT Surathkal is because of its poor connectivity. NIT R does not have proper airport and railway facilities. However, the infrastructure and placements at NIT R are top notch and at par with other top Indian Engineering colleges.

Both NIT Rourkela and NIT Warangal are top colleges. It also depends on the branch you get at these two. I would suggest you talk to the alumni from both these colleges before making a final choice.

Which is best to pursue an MTech in ECE: IIT Bombay or IISC Bangalore?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : July 14th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

I have a friend who is pursuing M.tech in Electronic systems engineering at IISc and a cousin who is pursuing M.tech at IITB too. So, I seem to be in the best position to compare IIT Bombay and IISc Bangalore. 

  • Academic environment: IISc has a rich research culture and you will find both faculty and students actively involved in dynamic research projects. A total of 42 departments offer rigorous courses that challenge the researcher within you. IISc also provides excellent opportunities to pursue any interdisciplinary field like microbiology, neuroscience, nanoscience, astronomy, genetics, etc. IIT Bombay on the other hand has a laid-back culture and curriculum that is more placement-oriented. Only passionate students are motivated enough to involve in research activities.
  • Placement: IIT Bombay has diverse companies visiting for placements while IISc usually has only core companies. Moreover, the students applying for placements are at IIT Bombay than IISc because IISc students prefer higher studies or research. So we can say that IIT Bombay has a more active placement cell than IISc.
  • Extra-Curriculars: IIT Bombay is known for its vibrant campus life and huge events that are organized to give the students a break from academics. IISc is a bit lacking in this aspect as its sole focus is on in-depth research. However, it does have all basic modes of refreshments like Hockey, Football, Archery, Swimming, and cultural societies for Drama, Music, Photography, and Literary
  • Higher Studies: Although both IIT Bombay and IISc Bangalore have excellent prospects and opportunities for higher studies, it no brainer that IISc Bangalore will encourage you more for higher studies, and a Ph.D. from IISc is an excellent choice.

Ultimately, the final decision depends on what your prospects are and what you expect from your college life. If your main goal is to pursue full-scale research then IISc is the best place for you but if you also want to experience a great campus life and get placed then IIT Bombay will serve you better.

What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at NIT Trichy?

VS
Vaani Singh Posted On : July 19th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India

Here are a few helpful tips for first-year students at NIT Trichy for a smooth college life experience

  1. Prepare yourself for the extreme climate and don’t let it affect your studies in any way.
  2. Get yourself a cycle as the campus is huge and walking might waste a lot of time. Also, make sure your cycle is locked when you park it.
  3. Don't limit your interactions to a certain level or kind of people only. A huge social circle will enhance the learning experience as all your peers are exceptionally talented.
  4. Always contact your seniors in case of any issues they will guide you willingly. 
  5. Even if you are feeling homesick, participate in the fests and try to involve yourself as much as you can. These experiences will give you amazing memories. 
  6. Don't fall into the trap of ‘Grades don’t matter’. No matter what people say grades matter a lot in the long run be it for placements or higher studies so don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.
  7. Identify your passions and look for the club that aligns with it. College life is about overall personality development and not just academics.

So, go ahead and have a blast!

How do I apply for the management quota in NMIMS for a BBA?

RM
Rishab Mittal Posted On : May 26th, 2021
BBA Business Management & Marketing, SVKM’s NMIMS (2016)

There is no direct option for entry into NMIMS for a BBA through management quota. There are no such forms or applications released by the institute for such cases. But, there are other options that may lead to such an entry into NMIMS. The points below are a brief overview of how a student can get a management quota seat in NMIMS.

Generally, students clear NMAT-UG to get a seat in institutes like NMIMS for a BBA degree. But, there are some entries through the management quota too.

  • For a management quota seat, you need a recommendation from trustees. You can get in touch with someone from the SVKM board. 
  • For a management quota seat in BBA, NMIMS may charge around Rs. 10 Lac donation, which is a huge amount. 
  • Such an amount is not worth the BBA degree. You should try for some other institute, or prepare for NMAT next year.

Therefore, it is possible to get a management quota seat in NMIMS, but in an indirect way, and with a great expense.

Which is better, VIT or Thapar University?

PJ
Priyanka Joshi Posted On : August 11th, 2021
B.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering, Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (2021)

Since I have friends from both VIT and Thapar, I think I can answer this.

Thapar University:

  • Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology is an esteemed institute and among the best institutions in the country. It is considered among the best innovation-driven private universities and technical institutes in the country. After BITS Pilani, it has been ranked as the best private institute.
  • The admissions here are based on JEE score.
  • There is no management quota at Thapar.
  • The placement opportunities at Thapar University are tremendous. The average package at Thapar ranges around 6.7 LPA.
  • The faculties at Thapar are great. You will get to learn both practical and theoretical aspects of subjects. The students are exposed to various internship opportunities as well.

VIT:

VIT Vellore is yet to be at par with Thapar University. Since VIT takes in a huge number of students, the placement quality is declining over the years. The average package at VIT is around 2-3 LPA.

Unless VIT Vellore is closest to your place do not opt for it. Thapar University is better in comparison to VIT Vellore. Hence, go for TU without any hesitation.

Do we have to apply separately for B.Sc (Hons) in ISI Kolkata and ISI Bengaluru?

IM
Ivy Majumder Posted On : September 17th, 2021
MS(QMS) from Indian Statistical Institute (2018)

ISI Kolkata and ISI Bengaluru do not offer BSc (Hons) program. ISI Kolkata offers B.Stat and ISI Bengaluru offers B.Math.

Also, you can only apply for one course at a time because it is seen that all the exams for admissions in the Undergraduate, Postgraduate, Diploma, and JRF courses are held on one single day. It is usually held on the second Sunday of May every year. However, the exam for the course applied jointly by ISI Kolkata, IIT Kharagpur, and IIM Kolkata is usually held in the month of February.

Other than that, for all the courses of ISI, the exam is held on that single day itself and also has the same timings. The morning objective type test is usually conducted from 10:30-12:30 pm and the afternoon session subjective type test is conducted from 2:00-4:00 pm.

So you can only opt for one single exam.
