Should I opt for PEC CSE or NIT Jalandhar CSE?
If you are confused between PEC and Jalandhar for CSE, I would suggest going for NIT Jalandhar. Here you will avail some additional benefits like:
-
More experienced faculty and thereby better teaching quality.
-
The tag of being an NIT student is quite valuable.
-
Students belonging to financially weak strata can get fees relaxation. Exact details can be sought from the official website.
-
Placements are much better at NIT Jalandhar than PEC. The highest package offered at NIT Jalandhar this year was INR 62 LPA while that at PEC was INR 43 LPA
-
NIT Jalandhar had been ranked 52 by the NIRF rankings in 2020, while the PEC Chandigarh had been ranked 68 by the NIRF.
NIT Jalandhar has a lot more to offer than PEC. Also, it’s brand name will help you in the future.
What should I choose between IIT BHU pharmaceutical and NIT Jalandhar CSE?
In my opinion, if you are interested in CSE, you should go for IIT BHU Pharmaceutical. Some points to prove my opinion right are:
-
IIT BHU offers better packages than NIT Jalandhar.
-
IIT tag is very valuable
-
Study environment, facilities and academic culture at IIT BHU is much better than NIT Jalandhar.
Initially Pharmaceutical may seem challenging. But with time you will adjust.
Which is better NIT Jamsedhpur, NIT Raipur, NIT K,NIT Hamirpur, NIT Durgapur, NIT Jalandhar, DTU, NSIT or IIEST Shibpur?
There is nothing called a better college. One college can be good for you but bad for others. Similarly a college can be bad for someone else but perfect for you. Every college has its own flaws. So it depends on how much you are willing to overlook and get the best results.
Still if I have to make a choice among the above colleges, I will go for NIT Hamirpur. The peaceful ambiance and beautiful infrastructure is worth it.
Why is the cutoff for computer science in Thapar lower than that of NIT Jalandhar?
The cutoff for computer science in Thapar has seen a fall in figures. This is because of the decrease in the fame of this college. There are so many better and popular institutes that people usually don’t consider Thapar as their first choice.
Even big companies prefer students from IITs, BITS or DTU. Students themselves opt for IIT because of its tag. They know the IIT tag will always be a boon for them.
The general decrease in its popularity has resulted in lower cutoffs and the situation seems to be worsening over the years to come.
How is PEC Chandigarh at present? Should I go for it over NIT Jalandhar?
Situation at PEC Chandigarh is pretty good currently. The new director has brought about a prominent change in the earlier stagnant situation at PEC. He has broadened the approach with an exhaustive curriculum and better infrastructure.
The next best change he has brought about is amazing placement opportunities. If you are from a branch like CS Or Mechanical, you will definitely land a core job. Highest package this year was INR 42 LPA.
Lots of sports facilities are improving. Other facilities include new centres like Siemens Centre of excellence(only 3 more in India) and solar tech park
Voyagers scheme where students get funded by college to explore rural India is surely another game changing feature of the college.
Extracurricular activities are also valued here and there are a lot of clubs to pursue your hobby.
The quality of faculty is also increasing gradually.
All these changes prove that you should definitely go for PEC over NIT Jalandhar.
Which should I prefer: NIT Jalandhar ECE or NIT Hamirpur ECE?
Choosing between NIT Jalandhar and NIT Hamirpur depends more on your own conveniences than anything else. It depends on:
-
Rank
-
State
-
Category
-
Distance between college and home
But still if you already have a choice between these two, go for NIT Harimpur. An additional benefit here is its peaceful and clean environment. Although you will learn better technical skills at NIT Jalandhar still it does not affect much in the long run.
Which should I choose from NSS, NCC or NSO in NIT Jalandhar, and why?
My brother is an NITJ alumni and he strongly recommends joining NCC in NIT Jalandhar. Some points that support his recommendation are:
-
Reserved qouta in various exams like SSC-CGL
-
Excellent exposure
-
No compulsory attendance at athletic fest
-
Disciplined life that leads to self improvement
-
A touch of life of Armed Forces
Apart from NCC, NSS is also a good option. But don’t go for NSO at all. There are hardly any benefits to avail of.
Is IIEST Shibpur a good institute? Is it better than NIT Jalandhar, NIT Durgapur/NIT and Silchar/IIITM Gwalior?
Without second thoughts, IIEST is better than all the colleges you mentioned. The institutes that are better than IIEST are the top 7 IITs, BITS Pilani, IISc.
The leading factor of IIEST that sets it apart from other colleges is its extensive research strategies. Some have been highlighted below:
-
Developed India's First Smart Grid
-
Developed Solar Rickshaw for Howrah Municipal Corporation
-
CEGESS centre at IIEST is among the Best in India in areas of clean energy and sensors systems.
-
IIEST has collaborations with University of Queensland, University of Hiroshima, University of South Wales, Hokkaido University, Zurich University among others
Other amazing facts include:
Research Projects: Rs. 47 Crores
Consultancy Projects: Rs. 13 Crore
Publications : 2000
Citations : 5000
All this has been achieved by only 220 faculties in less than 3 years.
If IIEST is worthy of comparison to any of the colleges you have mentioned then it is NIT Jalandhar. The academic excellence is very similar. But other colleges don’t even stand in the race to compare.
Which is better: Anna University or SSN?
One of my relatives happened to choose SSN. She has visited the campuses of both the colleges namely, Anna University and SSN. She told me that SSN was way ahead of AU in many aspects. Some amazing features of SSN are:
-
Amazing infrastructure with top notch Wi-Fi facilities
-
Diverse crowd which helps you get more exposure
-
SSN does not force its students to attend classes
-
SSN emphasises on the overall development of its students and fulfilling their dreams
-
Good hostel facilities
My relative completed her M.E. from SSN and went to CEG to pursue PhD. She regrets this decision a lot. She had listed so many shortcomings of CEG. Some of them have been listed below.
-
Lack of proper sanitation facilities
-
No emphasis on extracurricular activities or club activities
-
Lack of transport facilities
So SSN focuses more on quality rather than quantity.
Which is the better option for CSE, in terms of professors, diversity, regulations, freedoms, food, room quality, extracurriculars and reputation: SSN, Anna University (College of Engineering Guindy)
One of my friends is a CEG alumni. He thinks it’s the best option for CSE. Some strong points that support his opinions are:
-
Faculty: The faculty of CEG is of good quality. Many are experienced and alumni of CEG themselves.
-
Diverse Background: CEG welcomes a mix crown. Your peers are from everywhere across India and this makes it a more thrilling experience.
-
Rules and Regulations: CEG does not impose unnecessary rules on its students. They are given an extent of freedom.
-
Infrastructure: Classrooms and laboratories are well equipped. Canteen food is of good quality at very low cost.
-
Network: CEG has excellent Wi-Fi facilities.
-
Hostel: Although the food is of average quality, the cost of hostels is less. The buildings are poor but in good condition.
-
Extracurricular activities: CEG believes in exposure to extracurricular activities other than academics.
-
Global Recognition: CEG has excellent recognition among foreign universities.
So overall CEG is the best option of all the other colleges you mentioned. But the placements at CS are better.
So the conclusion is CEG > SSN > SRM/Amrita.
