Which is better, CSE at DTU or civil engineering at IIT Roorkee if my inclination is towards CSE?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : April 12th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

If you are sure about your interest in CSE, DTU is the best option for you. However, if you are yet to identify your area of interest then go through the following parameters

  • Placement: DTU has ties with huge CSE companies like Amazon, and Microsoft that offer excellent packages to the students even better than Civil at IIT Roorkee. I know many friends from NSITs and DTU that work in Microsoft today.
  • Research: The CS department is undoubtedly better in terms of research work and opportunities than the Civil.
  • IAS: For IAS, the most preferred branch is Civil. However, if you do for Roorkee, you will have limited options for coaching which can be easily sought at IIT Delhi
  • MBA: Again, because of better coaching institutes, IIT Delhi is better to prepare for CAT.

Once you are sure of your inclination making a decision won’t seem so difficult!

Why are the placements for Btech Civil Engineering so low in Nit Calicut?

DS
Devesh Saraf Posted On : August 21st, 2023
Studied at NIT Calicut

Civil engineering has lost its charm after the IT industry has taken over. The placement statistics of the branch have witnessed a drastic decline over the past few years. In 2022, the NIT Calicut BTech Civil Engineering recorded the following figures

Students Placed 

86 out of 98

Highest CTC

INR 11.4 LPA

Average CTC

INR 7.36 LPA

The primary reason for the poor placement scenario is the lack of industry in that specific location. Other South Indian NITs like Trichy, Surathkal, and Warangal offer better industry exposure and have more promising scenarios. NIT Calicut lacks transport facilities so most construction companies prefer visiting the nearest NIT rather than traveling all the way to Calicut. Another reason for the poor placement scenario here is the low performance of the senior batches of the branch. 

However, the situation is gradually improving as the institute has been adopting measures to support students pursuing internships at IITs and other industries.

How is IET-DAVV, Indore for civil engineering?

SS
Sayantika Sen Posted On : March 17th, 2021
Studied at Institute of Engineering and Technology, DAVV (2019)

To be very honest, Civil Engineering is a new branch relative to any other branch at IET DAVV. This brings the biggest drawback that there are no permanent professors for the Civil branch. The same situation is in the labs as well. The labs are well equipped but there is no experienced guide or lab assistant who can assist or demonstrate things to the students. 

Though, being an engineering student, you must be well prepared for the fact that you have to study by yourself. At the IET DAVV campus, despite having better facilities and faculties, they have the same condition. Although, some of the faculties are very brilliant and try to cover the syllabus in the most refined way. You may get less practical exposure here particularly in the civil engineering branch but if you are determined enough, you will get to learn a lot. 

Categories

Civil Engineering at IET-DAVV, Indore

Course Fee

2.74 lakh

Placement Percentage

93%

Highest CTC

24 LPA

Average CTC

4.21 LPA

Recruiting Companies

Mu Sigma, Trident, Adobe, Accenture, TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Prism Cement etc.

You will also get sufficient time to prepare for competitive exams like GATE, CAT, etc. while you are pursuing B.Tech from IET DAVV because attendance is not a major concern here. 

The placements depend on how actively you participate in them and your academic records are good. If you fulfil the eligibility criteria, you will definitely get a package ranging in between 4-5 LPA which is quite better in such a core field. 

One important thing that you should not miss out on is that IET lets you grow, it is not like any other college which will load you with many assignments. Therefore, If you get a chance to get into IET DAVV, it’s a big yes!

Which is better for civil, IIT Mandi or IIT Ropar?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : May 26th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

Both IIT Mandi and IIT Ropar are well-respected engineering institutions. The institute which is most suitable for you depends on your individual needs and preferences. Some parameters you would like to consider are location, campus culture, research opportunities, and faculty expertise.

In my opinion, IIT Ropar fares better in terms of infrastructure, college life, labs, and resources. IIT Mandi on the other hand is lacking in terms of infrastructure and its campus is still in the development phase. The facilities and infrastructure are crucial to a conducive learning environment and IIT Mandi has failed to do so. IIT Mandi is also located remotely and thus students cannot avail of facilities easily and the exposure offered is also limited. IIT Mandi labs have failed to meet IIT standards and are decked with outdated equipment.

The labs of the School of Engineering and the School of Computing and Electrical Engineering are not at all good and have very limited operational capacities.

Keeping all the above factors in mind, it's better to go for IIT Ropar. Additionally, it is recommended that you visit the websites of both institutions and speak with current students or faculty members to get a better sense of what each has to offer.

Which IIT is better for civil, IIT Indore or IIT Patna?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : June 17th, 2023

IIT Indore is one of the leading new IITs that has made its name because of its multiple achievements. Here is exactly why you should give more preference to IIT Indore than IIT Patna. 

  • The faculties are very approachable and cooperative. They guide you to do projects and even motivate you for research work. Additionally, they teach you tactics to clear GRE and GATE for top universities and PSU respectively. Such kind of guidance isn’t available at every institute.
  • The faculty-to-student ratio is great around 12 - 13 faculties for 40 students. This helps the students to get individual attention from faculty who track the personal and individual growth of every student. 
  • IIT Indore has ties with the University of Stuttgart, Germany enabling students to do internships in the second year. 
  • The students' demands are given due importance and the HODs bring all necessary changes demanded by the students to make things easy. 
  • IIT Indore being new has top-notch labs with all modern equipment and instruments.

In all, IIT Indore is a great choice for Civil Engineering.

How do I choose between IIT Delhi engineering physics, civil, production & industrial, and chemical engineering?

PS
Pawan Sinha Posted On : April 5th, 2023
B.Tech Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (2020)

I will restrict my answer to Engineering Physics and Chemicals only as I know the same only. 

  • The major criterion followed at IIT Delhi by all the branches is a well-maintained CG. To secure good placements one has to constantly score a good CG throughout the program.
  • During your admission, the department does not play any role but your 85 percent constraint on minimum possible strength does.
  • Engineering Physics is a unique branch for those highly passionate about Physics and want to pursue higher studies in the same
  • To secure core jobs, one has to move to MTech in Engineering Physics from BTech in Engineering Physics.
  • For Chemical Engineering students, BTech is more than enough to secure decent packages and great research opportunities outside India.
  • Consultancy and Analytics jobs are offered equally to students of all the departments 
  • Engineering Physics graduates usually take up consultancy or IT jobs 
  • Chemical Engineering is the most laid-back department of IIT Delhi with very flexible academics thus making it easy to maintain a decent CG throughout. 

I wouldn’t suggest anyone go for Engineering Physics if they have no intention of pursuing it later. Instead, look for other options in BTech and explore your interests.

What percentage of civil engineering students at IIT Madras end up taking core civil engineering jobs?

DB
Davdut Banerjee Posted On : July 20th, 2021
IIT Madras (2019)

The exact percentage is difficult to tell because the data is available only with the Training and Placement Cell of IIT Madras. The biggest problem with Civil Engineering is that you will not get any immediate opportunities in the same stream. So many of the students who need a job immediately with a good pay package usually shift to other streams.

It is not the case that people are not interested in pursuing core civil engineering jobs. But they want to study what can give them jobs immediately. Unfortunately, this is difficult in core civil engineering jobs. These jobs demand higher degrees which the undergraduate students lack and thus are not considered.

Which college is better: the RV College of Engineering or the MIT Manipal for civil engineering?

NS
Naveen Singhal Posted On : April 29th, 2021
Studies Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Manipal Institute Of Technology (2022)

I have friends from both RV College of Engineering and MIT Manipal, civil engineering holds the same value from either of them. It is because they both follow the same curriculum and guidelines laid by UGC and AICTE. However, both of them hold an edge over each other in their own way. Here’s why:

  • MIT Manipal holds a bigger brand value as civil engineering was one of the branches it started and is known for. Other such branches include chemical and mechanical.
  • If you are looking for better placements, RV College might be the right choice as it is located in Bangalore which clearly means more opportunities.
  • Even if you are getting a computer science branch in MIT Manipal, go for it without a second thought.

The table below shows a brief insight of both institutes:

Particulars

RV College of Engineering 

MIT Manipal

Highest Package

13 LPA

43.31 LPA

Average Package

5.25 LPA

7.50 LPA

Course Fees

14 Lakhs

16.26 Lakhs

At the end of the day, your pool of interest matters the most. If you are getting your preferred branch, set the preferences that are more important to you. Are you looking for a great placement or great brand value? The choice is up to you.

Which has the better faculty in civil engineering, IIT Guwahati or IIT BHU?

AR
Aditi Roy Posted On : May 5th, 2023
lives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

Honestly speaking, this internet-controlled era hardly requires good teachers as everything is available on the net. You can get in touch with internationally proclaimed professors with just a click. As far as IIT faculty is concerned, all IITs have similar degree holders that are quality knowledgeable. 

A good teacher is the one that hones your talents to the fullest. They not only help you acquire knowledge but also shape your thinking style. Every institute has a few teachers that influence a student in a unique way. I am sure both IIT Guwahati and IIT BHU will have similar teachers. 

Ultimately, what matters is the environment and the activities that these colleges will provide us to expand our intellect and maximize our talents. Pay little focus on the faculty and look for the right field to enter that will help you shape your career. Personally, I would suggest you go for IIT Guwahati as it has more open-minded and active people in that area which will give you considerable freedom to think and perform.
