Between Ashoka University and Krea University, which is a better option for UG in Liberal Arts?

AS
Auyush Singh Posted On : August 14th, 2020
Computer Science, Ashoka University (2020)

The major differentiating factor between the two is that while Ashoka is a reputed university that has made a name for itself Krea University is comparatively new to people and has yet to achieve that place.

Certain points that one can consider while comparing the above two institutes are:

FACULTY:

Apparently since Ashoka University is much older and more reputed than Krea University it provides elite professors to its students. Although the faculty at Krea is also amazing it still lacks when compared to that of Ashoka’s.

FEE STRUCTURE:

Apparently, Ashoka university is a bit more expensive than Krea University. Although both universities have provisions for education loans, financial aid etc. (refer to college brochure for details). Also, the details of fee structure for the mentioned course in respective colleges is as follows:

INTERNATIONAL EXPOSURE:

Interacting people with different backgrounds is one of the essential components of Liberal Arts.

Ashoka’s Summer Abroad/Semester Abroad programs provide students with these opportunities. This is because they also have tie-ups with some of the best institutes of the world including University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, University of California-Berkeley etc. which also provides their students to attend guest lectures from the professors of best universities of the world.

However, Krea University has also partnered with some elite international organisations (i.e. the Academic Internship Council (AIC), University College Cork (UCC), Australia Council for the Arts and University of Wellington (UoW) New Zealand India Research Institute (NZIRI)). And the number is yet to increase with time.

STUDENT GROUP AND PLACEMENTS:

Since Ashoka has established a name for itself it attracts mostly the best students of the country due to its past records and reputation which is a feat that Krea University will take some time to achieve since it is a newly established university (for UG in liberal arts).

Ashoka University maintains a decent track record of placements including recruiters such as RBL BANK, Albright Stonebridge Group (ASG), Microsoft Research (SGO), McKinsey & Co, Ernst & Young (EY), Bloomberg Quint, Mu Sigma, Boston Consulting Group etc. with average package offers ranging from 7-9 LPA.

Whereas since the first batch of liberal arts at Krea was incepted in the year 2018 the placements scenario is yet to unfold.

Are the attendance norms strictly followed in Ramjas College Delhi University?

AM
Aanchal Mittal Posted On : January 21st, 2022
B.Com (H) from Ramjas College, University of Delhi (2018)

No, the attendance norms were not strictly followed at Ramjas College. But this does not mean you can skip classes as you will. Yes, the college is a bit lenient when it comes to submitting assignments on time and having regular classes but the students have to take the internals on time.

As per the new batches, there are 5 marks for attendance which no one acquires because then you need to have to maintain more than 75–80% attendance. It becomes impossible for students who are involved with societies so they submit ECA sheets to the teacher. This is done only if you desperately need the 5 marks or if you are not being allowed to sit for the internals.

Which one is better IIT Bombay or NIT Silchar?

PS
Poornima Sahoo Posted On : March 20th, 2023
Studied M.Sc in Applied Statistics & Informatics at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IITB) (Graduated 2019)

For obvious reasons, IIT Bombay is a better choice than NIT Silchar.

  • Bombay has much more locational advantage than NIT Silchar
  • The teachers are experienced unlike in NIT Silchar wherein the teachers are still completing their PhDs from MIT, CalTech & Stanford.
  • IIT Bombay has higher JEE rankers even higher than NIT Silchar
  • IIT Bombay has much better companies that visit the campus for placements like Google, Microsoft, Credit Suisse, Intel, etc.
  • IIT Bombay has better infrastructure and amenities than NIT Silchar such as swimming pool and multiplexes.
  • IIT Bombay has better foreign exchange programs than NIT Silchar
  • IIT Bombay has richer research culture than NIT Silchar
  • The Mood Indigo fest is more vibrant and famous than the Incandescence fest of NIT Silchar

I would suggest you go for IIT Bombay over NIT Silchar any day.

How good is the MCA course at IIT Roorkee?

RL
Rishabh Luthra Posted On : April 12th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee

The MCA course has been discontinued since 2015 owing to its outdated curriculum. It does not offer an MCA program anymore. The key highlights of the program were

  • Curriculum: The coursework and the pedagogy adopted were outdated and needed a lot of improvisation to meet the industry trends.
  • Faculty: IIT Roorkee has a shortage of CS faculty in general. The course MCA, although run by the Mathematics department, was an interdisciplinary course that covered various fields. The lack of CS faculty and Math teachers teaching CS was a major drawback of the program.
  • Placements: The placement scenario was also decent but since the program is not known among many, the demand is also less. It is the duty of the Central Placement Team to inform companies about the course. Yet, many top firms like MS, Amazon, Directi, Inmobi, Symantec, and Nvidia allowed students to sit for placements.

All in all, this course is not good enough to be chosen over BTech. The only reason some joined this program was to get a taste of the rich college life and opportunities offered at IIT Roorkee. Had this course been running under the CS department with a few updates, it would not have faced such a setback.

How are the first year NSIT boys' hostel rooms?

SG
Shashank Gupta Posted On : August 23rd, 2023
B.E from Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (2020)

NSUT Delhi has an advantage over many other colleges with regard to hostel rooms. The fresher boys’ hostel mainly has single rooms. Only around 30% are allotted double rooms. This selection is purely based on the lottery system.

The room size is fine and manageable. The Cleaner comes every day early in the morning. But it is mainly you who has to maintain a nice and clean room. During May and pre-September, the rooms get quite hot. You can keep a room cooler. Also, keeping your room’s door open will help. The ground floor is comparatively cooler.

There are four washrooms on every floor in decent condition. Water shortage problems are there, but quite rare. The shortage is faced by only a few wings at a time. During the winter, you can access hot water around the clock. You can keep induction cooktops, racks, coolers, green boards, hammer nails, and kettles in your room without any problem.

Thus, NSUT Delhi provides decent hostel rooms to fresher boys.

What will be the fees for a management quota in either MIT Pune or VIT Pune for B.Tech in CSE?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : October 23rd, 2023

The fee for management quota seats depends on the branch one opts for. As CSE is the most sought after branch, its fee is higher than the others.

The fee ranges from 12-22 Lakhs for B.Tech management quota seats, at MIT Pune. For CSE, it is on the higher end of this range. At VIT Pune, the fee ranges from 8-20 Lakhs. Again, it is on the higher end for B.Tech CSE. 

These figures aren’t fixed, they are based on factors such as market demand and inflation rates. Thus, I recommend you confirm the fee structure with the admissions department of both these colleges.

Is IIM passing tough?

SY
Sarika Yadav Posted On : April 27th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

IIMs are one of the most sought-after B-Schools by MBA aspirants in the country and thus its admission criteria are equally challenging. This ensures only the best make it into the Institute and maintains the standard of education. 

It would be an understatement to say that passing IIM is tough as it is more than just tough. The competition is at another level and you will find many 98+ percentilers fighting for the seats. You might not get a call unless you are one of the top scorers in your particular field.

For those with a low academic profile, can always target other B Schools or IIMs like IIM Kolkata, IIM Lucknow, or IIM Indore instead of being fixated on IIM Ahmedabad and Bangalore.

Admission to IIM Ahmedabad, the best IIM, is extremely difficult. It calls only the top 50 scorers from each academic discipline irrespective of their academic record. Basically, anything below 99.96 percentile will not fetch them a call while for non-engineers, a 99.7+ percentile might fetch them a call. Some options to consider apart from IIM Ahmedabad are 

  • IIM Calcutta: Calcutta has the most lenient criteria as it does not consider your graduation scores or work experience for shortlisting.
  • IIM Lucknow: It does not consider class X marks for shortlisting.
  • IIM Kozhikode: It also does not consider class X scores while shortlisting.
  • IIM Indore: It normalizes the board percentages.

Candidates with a low academic profile can opt out of these top IIMs or even consider other B schools.

Why are IIT Ropar and IIT Mandi preferred less as compared to PEC, CHANDIGARH?

MA
Madhav Aneja Posted On : May 26th, 2023
Lived in Chandigarh, India

Firstly, I refuse to believe that PEC is preferred to IITs like Mandi and Ropar. PEC has started improving its infrastructure of late and is yet to reach IIT standards. PEC has gained little fame just because of its location and its heritage. IIT Ropar and IIT Mandi are better in every other aspect. 

  • IIT Ropar and IIT Mandi have a rich research culture and students are involved in research work in diverse fields. 
  • Although IIT Ropar and Mandi infrastructure is lacking as compared to older IITs, I believe it is sufficient for the number of students these new IITs have.
  • IIT Ropar and IIT Mandi have done well in MHRD rankings whereas PEC has coped poorly. IIT Mandi Overall ranking by NIRF is 43 out of 200 colleges in India in 2022 while PEC ranks 87. 
  • The JEE Main cutoff of PEC has been deteriorating subsequently over the years whereas that of IIT Ropar and IIT Mandi has risen thus proving that the latter is better than the former.

From all these points we can safely conclude that PEC has lost its reputation and standards due to poor administrative policies and thus is not preferred to new IITs.
