Should I choose the NIT Jalandhar textile engineering or the JSS Noida IT branch?

RA
Rishav Arora Posted On : December 7th, 2022
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IIT KGP) (Expected 2024)

If you are interested in IT Industry then without a second thought go for JAS Noida IT branch. This is because you cannot opt for upgrading your branch from textile to IT in NIT Jalandhar.

But if are interested in any other branch go for textile in NIT Jalandhar.

Taking textile at NIT Jalandhar will give you an additional benefit of rectifying your choice is you find you want to change the branch.

On of my friends told me of a person who ranked 60000 in JEE Mains. He got IPE in spot round, scored a CGPA of 9 and got into CSE. Such miracles require a lot of hard work. Being an NITian won’t hurt you in the long run.

How do I choose between NSIT IT and DTU COE?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 23rd, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Both NSIT IT and DTU COE are CS-related programs with similar opportunities and peer groups. So if you have to choose one between the two consider the following aspects

  • Placement : If your primary goal is to get placed and start eating right after college then NSIT would be a better choice because of lesser competition than DTU.
  • Location : It’s advisable to choose the college that is nearer to your home so that it becomes easier for you to commute.
  • Hostel : If you are a Delhite, then you won’t be able to experience hostel life in DTU. So choose NSIT if you don’t want to be a day scholar.
  • College Life: DTU offers a better college life than NSIT.

Overall, both institutes have their pros and cons and will provide enough opportunities. So choose the one that aligns with your preferences!

Which is a better option, IT at VIT Vellore or at VIT Pune?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : October 17th, 2023

Here are my honest views on which college you should choose for your B.Tech IT-

VIT Vellore grants admissions based on VITEEE, which is an all India exam. Students from all over India take part in this entrance. On the other hand, VIT Pune grants admissions mainly on the basis of MH-CET, in which a limited number of students participate.

VIT Vellore has a diverse crowd whereas, mostly localities join VIT Pune. Other than that, VIT Vellore follows no reservation policy for its admissions, but MH-CET has a high number of reserved seats.

VIT Vellore offers good placements in B.Tech IT. The campus organizes plenty of competitions, fests and events throughout the year. This college provides plenty of growth opportunities to its students.

For IT, or for any other engineering branch, I would recommend you choose VIT Vellore over VIT Pune.

How is IT at NIT Surathkal compared to the CSE department?

DB
Ditsha Banerjee Posted On : September 16th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal

Information Technology is the newest department of NITK Surathkal so its cutoff is much lower than CSE. However, there aren’t any major differences in the course structure of these two departments. 

The CS department courses focus mainly on programming computers using mathematical algorithms while the IT department courses focus on installing internal networks and computer systems and perhaps programming.

In the IT department, you will have to deal with both practical and theoretical problems. Several mini-projects and labs take place every semester and this helps in importing a hands-on experience. CS students too are required to complete many practical projects during their course and are also taught theoretical aspects.

The IT department has newer and less experienced faculties as a result of which students are often clueless about academics. However, the faculties are easily available. CS department faculties on the other hand are highly experienced and offer excellent guidance to their students.

Both CS and IT students receive similar placements and internship opportunities from good companies. Here is a comparative analysis of the placement statistics of these branches

Should I take NIT Suratkal IT or IIT BHU metallurgy?

PG
Prajukta Ghose Posted On : April 6th, 2023
Studied at the Indian Institute of Technology Varanasi

If you're trying to decide between NIT Suratkal and IIT(BHU) Varanasi, here are some points to consider:

  • First, think about your interests. If you're interested in coding and tech, NIT Suratkal may be the better option for you.
  • However, if the branch isn't a major factor in your decision, you may want to consider IIT(BHU) Varanasi. The IIT brand and alumni network are both very strong, and the Metallurgy Department at IIT(BHU) is one of the best and oldest in India.
  • That being said, if job placements are a top priority for you, it's worth noting that Metallurgy may not be the best choice in terms of placement opportunities. Only a few core companies come to IIT(BHU) Varanasi to recruit metallurgy students, and the packages they offer are often below average. Other students end up being placed in non-core sectors, like consulting and analytics.
  • On the other hand, while NIT Suratkal IT may not offer the best placement packages either, you'll likely have more opportunities in the field of IT, which you'll have studied in college.
  • Another advantage of IIT(BHU) Varanasi is the potential for higher studies opportunities. You'll have plenty of time to prepare for exams like CAT, GRE, GMAT, and even IAS if you're interested.
  • Finally, if you're willing to put in the work during your first semester at IIT(BHU) Varanasi, you can start off in Metallurgy and then switch to a different branch with better opportunities later on.

Consider your interests and priorities when making your decision. If coding and tech excite you, go for NIT Suratkal. But if you're looking for a strong alumni network and potential for higher studies opportunities, IIT(BHU) Varanasi may be the better choice.

Which one is better placement-wise, IT in NIT Raipur or civil in NIT Rourkela?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : September 12th, 2023

In this era of IT, it would be an exaggeration to say that the IT/CSE branches offer much better job opportunities and growth than core branches like Civil. Moreover, one should always prioritize the branch over the brand of the college. No doubt, NIT Rourkela is a better-ranked NIT than NIT Raipur, but its Civil department is not as good as the IT department of NIT Raipur. You should consider the following points before making the final decision

  • If you are after placements only then IT is the better option because Civil being a core branch has fewer job opportunities and a low average package.
  • What matters more to you, the branch or the brand?
  • If you go for Civil you will have GATE opportunities whereas this might not be possible if you take IT.

Ultimately, if you want excellent packages, go for NIT Raipur IT, but if you want a core branch, job safety, and better infrastructure, then choose NIT Rourkela.
