How will be the selection procedure for direct PhD in IIT Madras?
The selection procedure for a direct Ph.D. in IIT Madras varies as per the department. Usually, there is a primary election that is based on the CGPA that you obtain after clearing any national-level entrance exam like GATE.
After this, you need to give an interview and a written test round.
If you want to go for MS by research or Ph.D., you will have to appear for a written test which is followed by an interview. These tests are conducted twice a year, in May and in November. Check the IIT Madra website regularly. Once you apply for the Ph.D. position, and you get shortlisted, and then you can appear for the written exam. The written exam is similar to what the GATE exam is and there is no difference for MS and Ph.D. aspirants. Your interview will be conducted only if you clear the written test.
However, if you do not clear the written or the interview round, and you are interested in some particular work that is being carried out by any professor, you can approach them directly and ask for a research or project assistant’s position. If the professor is impressed by your work, they may convert you to a full-time Ph.D.
Which is better VIT or NIT Raipur for CSE?
According to a senior of mine who has graduated from NIT Raipur, the institute is better than most top colleges in Bangalore including VIT institutes.
Despite having a soft spot for NIT Raipur, she does not discourage candidates from trying their luck at any other university, including VITs. She, however, suggests that they should get acquainted for measuring progress after completion of the undergraduate degree.
Campus:
- VIT campus is definitely better than the NIT Raipur campus. Although the NIT Raipur has been considerably renovated.
- The VIT campus will cost around 2 lakhs per year which includes hostel fees as well. Education at NIT Raipur will cost around 0.5 lakhs.
Course:
- The course of VIT will not have any effect on your CSE placement.
- On the other hand, your coding skills and DS+Algo will have a part to play in your placement. Either way, the effort is required regardless of how much you pay.
Placements:
- By the time you graduate, if you choose NIT Raipur, that is, the institute will pretty much be holding its own among other giants. My senior said two of her batchmates landed a 75 LPA package without paying hefty college fees.
- VIT, being a private college, is known to boost their placement records. In addition to that, they have a management quota as well which goes on to say that not all the best minds will be found there.
- A friend of my seniors had a good rank and went to VIT. He got chosen in three companies. VIT attracts employers in large numbers but they offer packages of only around 3-3.5 LPA.
In the case of NIT Raipur, almost every candidate will get at least one job, in recent years many also bagged two jobs. The ones who have, get a package of 4-8 LPA for the first job, and a package of as much as 16-17 LPA for the second job. Candidates who do not get a second job also land a job with a package of 4-8 LPA.
Overall, it is safe to say that CSE from NIT Raipur will be a good option.
What is a good CGPA in Anna University?
There is nothing called a good CGPA. CHPA depends on what you are willing to do afterwards.
For a job: As far as placements are concerned, anything above 7 or 7.5 will fetch you a decent job. 8+ will get you even better jobs in flagship companies.
For higher studies: If you want to pursue higher studies, much more is considered than just CGPA. Some of these factors are 10 and 12 marks, GPA and work experience.
So an 8+ GPA will get you both a good job and colleges. But it’s not the sole factor. It all comes down to how much efforts you are willing to put.
What are the pros and cons of dual degree at IIIT Hyderabad?
I am listing below separately, the pros and cons of joining the dual degree program at IIIT Hyderabad-
Pros-
- If you are interested in research, a dual degree is a great option, be it for industry or academics.
- You will be exposed to quality research as early as your 3rd year. You will suddenly relate to what is being taught and start enjoying the experience.
- You will get a chance to publish your work in reputed conferences and journals and attend national and international conferences. DD students at IIIT Hyderabad publish as early as the third year in collaboration with international researchers.
- You may get to collaborate with leading universities and can even intern with the same researchers. This way your internship will be related to and relevant to your research work.
- Getting a Ph.D. from foreign universities is easier because you will have extensive experience in research and publications. IIIT Hyderabad DD students go to prominent universities in the US and UK for their PhDs.
- Getting into R&D teams also gets easier, especially today, when most R&D teams prefer Masters students rather than B.Tech students.
Cons:
- Do not choose DD if you wish to go for S/W jobs and not research in the future.
- The course duration for DD (B.Tech+MS) may extend beyond 5 years because MS is research and outcome-based, and not time-based like M.Tech. Earlier the average time for completing DD was 6 years which has come down to 5.5 years in recent years.
- It is difficult for a 12th pass out to assess whether or not they will like research.
Thus, it is up to you to choose DD at IIIT Hyderabad. However, if you do plan to go into research, DD program is the ideal choice for you and IIIT Hyderabad is the ideal institution.
