Which engineering college is better KJ Somaiya or VESIT?

SN
Somiya Nath Posted On : March 23rd, 2021
B.E Computer Engineering, Vivekanand Education Society's Institute of Technology, Mumbai (2020)

While both colleges are reputed, you should compare a few parameters before making a choice. Here are some of them to help you decide.

Teaching: 

Every college has good and bad faculties. 

  • From what I heard through my friends at VESIT, there are few faculties that struggle with simple math problems. While some faculties from KJS struggle with simple circuits despite being electronics teachers. 
  • I also know about faculties at VESIT, who are actively engaged in research projects that are respected nationally. The same goes for KJS. 

Don’t expect world-class teaching from either of these colleges. You will also need to figure out a lot of things on your own. You will also be able to figure out a lot of the study material by yourself. It will be better if you find someone, preferably a faculty to clear your doubts. 

Management: (Winning Institution - VESIT)

  • As far as management is concerned, KJS recently attained autonomy so things might be a little disorganized there. At KJS you might expect odd exam schedules and late exam starts.
  • VESIT does not have better management but is definitely a little more organized.

Campus Life:

  • VESIT does not have a very big campus. Moreover, a number of technical and non-technical events go on at VESIT, but it is not comparable with KJS.
  • In terms of crowd, KJS has a relatively chill vibe as compared to people from VESIT. But, clubs are much better at VESIT, e.g. CSI and IEEE. However, KJS also has a number of open events that you can participate in as well.

Placement:(VESIT ~ KJS)

For placements, both the institutes are almost on the same page. Here is a peek into the recent placement highlights of the institutes. 

Category 

VESIT 

KJS

Highest CTC

27 LPA

18.75 LPA

Average CTC

5 LPA

5.55 LPA

Major Recruiters 

LTI, Capgemini

Microsoft, Jaro Education, PayU, etc.

KJS offers Mechanical Engineering, which VESIT does not. So, if you want to pursue Mechanical, KJS is a clear choice. The environment at VESIT is more suitable for technical things as compared to KJS. So, choose the institute based on what you expect out of your degree.

In India, how are XLRI, XIMB, and XIME related? Does XLRI play any role with XIMB or XIME?

AB
Anamika Banerjee Posted On : March 8th, 2022
PGDBM Marketing & Operations Management, Xavier School of Management (2016)

XLRI, XIMB, and XIME all three of these colleges are governed by the Jesuit Society. XAT is the common entrance examination for these institutes. Although XLRI conducts XAT, it doesn’t play any role in admission at XIMB and XIME. Some faculties of XLRI teach in XIMB and vice versa. Many visiting professors are also common to these three institutes.

How is the metallurgical engineering and materials science programme at IIT Bombay compared to the other programmes?

SB
Sumit Bose Posted On : March 17th, 2023
IIT Bombay (2019)

Material Science and Metallurgical Engineering (MEMS) is a highly funded branch in IIT Bombay, and it's a misconception that it's not a good branch just because its cutoffs are high. In fact, Material Science is the most demanded branch at MIT. However, it's essential to note that each branch is unique in its way, and the only thing that matters is your interest.

MEMS teaches engineering aspects of metals, their properties, and engineering problems faced while extracting them, while material science focuses on customizing materials according to your needs. Materials play an essential role in various processes, and you need to alter properties like viscosity, strength, hardness, resistance to temperature, etc. Material science plays a crucial role in developing such materials.

The branch you choose does not determine your success; it's your commitment and passion toward that branch that matters. So, choose a branch based on your interest and passion, not just packages, to excel in it.

Which is the best between DTU & NSUT?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : July 5th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Both DTU and NSUT are tier-1 engineering colleges offering excellent education and opportunities to their students. However, while choosing one over the other you would like to consider the following points 

  • NSUT has a number of CS-related courses and gives an edge over its counterparts in terms of internships and placements.
  • NSUT does not function under the umbrella of DU anymore.
  • The authority of NSUT is very lethargic and thus the standards of fests conducted are also very poor. 
  • NSUT has very few core opportunities.
  • In NSUT, very few marks are allotted despite the students working hard. A poor GPA often affects your placements.
  • There are strict rules for attendance here so you might not be able to enjoy college life.

In all, DTU seems to be a better option than NSUT.

Which college is better for an MCh Neurosurgery: AIIMS Delhi or NIMHANS?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : June 1st, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

Both AIIMS and NIMHANS have been excellent institutes for neurosurgery. Both the institutes have their unique strengths and weaknesses. It’s better to weigh the pros and cons before coming to a final decision.

AIIMS Delhi

  • AIIMS has given birth to elite neurosurgeons and enjoys a great level of credibility and global recognition. 
  • The neurosurgery department has top-notch infrastructure and all the modern facilities you could ask for. 
  • There is a dedicated trauma center, in addition to cadaveric training and research facility, neurosurgical education and training school, and an animal dissection lab.

NIMHANS

  • NIMHANS is a dedicated mental health and neurosciences institute.
  • It has an NBRC - neurobiology research center which provides necessary resources for research and technology advancement.

Both AIIMS Delhi and NIMHANS are equally good in terms of the amount of work, patient management protocol, and infrastructure. The only issue at AIIMS Delhi is the increasing staff as a result of which the surgical work gets divided and residents get less work. NIMHANS on the other hand has a lesser faculty count which does not necessarily mean more work. 

Ultimately, it’s your performance that determines your success and not your institute. Institute just lays down the stepping stones for your future.

Should I upgrade to KMC Manipal from KMC Mangalore?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : September 30th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Here are some advantages of both, KMC Manipal and KMC Mangalore-

Advantages of KMC Mangalore-

  1. It is attached to three government hospitals- Lady Goschen (for OBG), Wenlock (for other specialties, except pediatrics), and RAPCC (for pediatrics). So you’ll get to see a variety of patients. You may work on 100+ cases during your OPD days. You’ll also get to see how differently government and private hospitals work.
  2. Mangalore has all the travel facilities- flight, bus, train, and even ship.
  3. You can access malls, good restaurants and other such luxuries in Mangalore.
  4. The Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations are worth waiting for.

Advantages of KMC Manipal-

  1. It has a state-of-the-art library.
  2. You’ll enjoy campus life, and meet students from different countries and streams (Engineering, Hotel Management, Visual Media, etc).
  3. KMC Manipal is a much bigger brand.

I really had an amazing time at KMC Mangalore. If you want more clinical exposure, stay at KMC Mangalore. The theory classes are at par in both. As a KMC student, if you are among the top 8 for the first 2 years, you’ll get the opportunity to attend a month-long externship in the Netherlands.
