Which is the better branch in SOE, CUSAT: CS or IT?

SK
Shubham Kumar Posted On : February 12th, 2021
Former Student at Cochin University Of Science and Technology (2016-2020)

One of my friends shared his experience of being a student of IT in SOE. His first choice was CS during registration but he was given IT due to his rank. Initially, he missed CS and remained worried about being in a different branch. But he finally understood that IT was better than CS. 

The following points are based on his experience at the campus:

  • The faculty members at CS are very strict when compared to IT.
  • The administration level is also managed at IT. You will experience a lot of hassle in CS even if you want a sign on any application.
  • The syllabus of IT is comparatively better than CS.
  • Speaking of IT & CS in SOE, there is also a difference in the way both these courses are managed by the faculties. Both have amazing and experienced faculties taking care of the subjects and therefore it will not be fair to prefer one over another. 
  • This is naturally because of the difference in subjects both the branches have and a different approach is needed for the faculties to explain them to the students.

It is also suggested by many seniors and experienced friends that you take a closer and detailed look at the placements of every year for both these branches at CUSAT before taking the call. There is always a slight difference in the placement every year depending on the industrial, market requirements, and interests of the students. 

The following table shows the placement statistics for the 2020 academic year at CUSAT:

Total Number of Offers

300

Total placed students

306

Highest package

15 LPA

Average package

4.7 LPA

Getting in touch with the students, faculty, and college staff is a good way to understand both the branches better and closer. Remember that you should not completely rely on your friends’ or seniors’ opinionated suggestions.

What should I take IIT Dharwad or IIT Bhilai with Electrical Mechanical or IIT Dhanbad with Petroleum?

SN
Souvik Nayak Posted On : January 11th, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Dhanbad (2018)

IIT Dhanbad is known for offering the best program for a degree in Petroleum around the world. You will have the chance to secure a job with top companies with high packages, sometimes even leading up to 20 LPA. 

The table below gives a brief insight into the institutes. 

Particulars

IIT Dharwad Electrical 

IIT Bhilai MEchanical 

IIT Dhanbad Petroleum 

Placement Rate

65%

80%

Highest CTC

14 LPA

8 LPA

32 LPA

Average CTC

8 LPA

Current scenario:

  • The number of high paying placements for Petroleum Engineering has considerably reduced after the institute became an IIT. If you have confidence on securing a well-paying job then go ahead and apply for the course in Petroleum.
  • If placement is important to you then you might want to reconsider your options. Electrical and Mechanical observe a high number of placements considering they are core branches of Engineering. Petroleum being a niche field of study sees fewer placements.

Infrastructure: (Winning Institute - IIT Dhanbad)

  • IIT Dharwad and IIT Bhilai are fairly new and therefore still do not offer a fully-developed campus. 
  • IIT Dhanbad, on the other hand, has a well-developed campus that offers students all modern and updated facilities such as practical labs, multiple academic blocks, a digital library, and more. In terms of Infrastructure, IIT Dhanbad is way better.

Both options have their advantages and disadvantages so weigh in those and choose as you see fit.
