Which one should I prefer: Ambedkar Institute of Advanced Communication Technologies and Research at Delhi for ECE or Bharathi Vidyapeeth’s College of Engineering at Delhi for ECE?

If you are looking for a college to pursue your higher education, there are a few factors that you should consider before making a decision. One of the most important factors is the type of institute you want to attend, whether it is a government or a private institute. You should consider attending Ambedkar Institute of Advanced Communication Technologies and Research at Delhi for ECE as it may have a significant difference in fees compared to Bharathi Vidyapeeth’s College of Engineering at Delhi for ECE.

Private institutes like BVP and others may have strict rules for attendance, which can limit the time you have for building your skills and resume. Both AIACTR and BVP may have similar placement opportunities, so focus on other factors when making a decision. Travel distance to the college is another important factor to consider, as it can become a major factor once you start attending college. You need to balance your time between college studies, personal hobbies, and extra skills for your resume, so it's important to have a manageable travel distance to college.

How is IT in Manipal university? Is it better than SRM?

ST
Siddharth Thapar Posted On : April 1st, 2023
Studied at Manipal Institute of Technology (2019)

If you're considering pursuing IT, Manipal, Jaipur could be a good option for you as the faculty is supportive and helpful, and the syllabus is somewhat similar to Computer Science with some changes in the 3rd and final year. While the speaker has no personal experience with SRM, Chennai, it's worth noting that branches like CS/IT are rarely dependent on the faculty or college.

In IT, at some point in your course, you will have to learn languages on your own and accordingly code using those languages. So, it's crucial to have a good understanding of the basics and develop problem-solving skills. Keep in mind that the field of IT is continually evolving, and it's essential to keep yourself updated with the latest technologies and trends.

Which institute will be better for BBA -Symbiosis Pune or Narsee Monjee Bangalore?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : May 4th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

If you are considering pursuing a Bachelor's in Business Administration (BBA), it's important to choose the right college. While Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) and Symbiosis are both well-known institutions, there are some differences between them that you should consider.

Here are some factors to keep in mind:

  • Reputation: Symbiosis Pune is known for its strong BBA program and has consistently ranked among the top BBA colleges in India. While NMIMS Mumbai is also a reputable institution, the Bangalore campus may not be as well-known.
  • Curriculum: The curriculum of the BBA program at Symbiosis Pune is designed to provide students with a broad understanding of business management and administration. The program includes courses in accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and other areas. NMIMS Bangalore also offers a similar curriculum, but the Mumbai campus is known for its specialization in finance.
  • Faculty: Both Symbiosis Pune and NMIMS Bangalore have experienced faculty members who bring industry experience to the classroom. However, Symbiosis has a larger faculty and a more diverse set of professors with different areas of expertise.
  • Location: Symbiosis Pune is located in a cosmopolitan city with a thriving business community, which provides ample opportunities for internships and practical exposure. NMIMS Bangalore, on the other hand, is situated in a relatively quieter part of the city, with fewer opportunities for internships and industry exposure.
  • Campus facilities: Both colleges have modern infrastructure and offer excellent facilities such as libraries, computer labs, sports facilities, and student activity centers.

While both Symbiosis Pune and NMIMS Bangalore offer excellent BBA programs, Symbiosis Pune may be a better choice for students looking for a well-established institution with a strong reputation and diverse faculty. However, if you are interested in specializing in finance, NMIMS Mumbai may be a better option. Ultimately, your choice should be based on your personal preferences, career aspirations, and other factors that matter to you.

Which one to choose, lower NIT or College of engineering, Pune or DTU ?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : July 5th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

DTU should be your priority. It is one of the oldest Indian Engineering institutions. It has a brand name and a good reputation. It has better placements, campus, college life, location, etc. than COEP. Only NIT Trichy and NIT Warangal are on par with DTU. Mechanical is a renowned branch at DTU. The Mechanical department has many innovations to its credit. For example, the first Biodiesel Lab in India.

I know someone who did his B.Tech Mechanical from COEP. He chose COEP over a top NIT. According to him, it was not a wise decision for his career. Teaching is done mostly in Marathi at COEP. Some of the faculty members are underqualified and not up to the mark. This made him lose interest in learning and resulted in poor personality development.

At NITs, you study with people from across India and this offers exposure to different cultures. The NIT brand also has its added advantages. NITs have a standard grading system known in the industry. When you graduate from COEP and go to, say IIMs, the grading system at COEP causes a lot of hassle. COEP does not offer cross-culture exposure. Though the labs at COEP are big, the equipment is outdated and non-functional. 

A benefit is that COEP is located in Pune which is an automotive hub. Therefore, Mechanical students get to connect with the automotive industry. Pune automotive industry has a large number of COEP alumni. All this allows you to do a lot of live industry projects while on campus.

Overall, choose DTU and if you do not get admission into it, go for lower NITs.

Which is better, siib-ib pune, fore or tapmi?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : October 6th, 2023

SIIB-Pune would be a better choice than Fore or TAPMI. Let's break down your analysis to understand why you believe SIIB-Pune is the best choice among the three options:

  • TAPMI, FORE, and SIIB are all well-reputed institutions, but SIIB-Pune gains a slight edge in terms of brand reputation, citing its higher NIRF ranking. TAPMI ranked #42 out of top management colleges in India by NIRF in 2023

Is doing engineering from SGSITS Indore with BM, IP, or ET from IET-DAVV better than taking CSE from Acropolis?

RT
Rabhi Ranjan Tripathi Posted On : March 4th, 2021
B.E. Electronics, Shri Govindram Seksaria Institute of Technology and Science (2020)

It depends on what you expect as the final outcome from your degree. If you are looking for just a degree, SGSITS is a good choice. But doing engineering just for the sake of it does not make sense. You should figure out what branch you want to study in before making any decisions.

BM and IP:

These two will not fetch you that much capital since the placement options are limited. Your chances will only increase if you are from an IIT.

CS:

Computer Science Engineering is the most reputed among students. It will fetch quite a decent package but you will have to work for it on your own, irrespective of which institute you choose. 

ET:

ET is a branch that can prove to be quite fruitful for you. Placements are really good to a certain level and you are bound to cop some of the top ones if you study seriously. 

Choosing a branch is the most crucial step and you should decide that, on your own.
