Is it better to choose mechanical engineering at IIT Kharagpur or chemical engineering at IIT Bombay?

AB
Advaith Bhaskar Posted On : March 20th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (2000–present)

Getting into IIT is a big achievement only if you manage to choose the right branch for yourself.

You should analyze your ambitions and interests in a particular field and determine what you possibly imagine yourself to be doing in 5 years and then make an informed decision. Clarity of goals is extremely necessary to make this crucial decision of choosing a branch.

If you want to enter politics, then your branch hardly matters. 

If you want to become an entrepreneur try to get an idea of the type of company you want to start

Basically, the choice of the branch is strictly a personal preference and cannot be objectively decided.

Will the New IIIT Pune be safe to join?

RJ
Rubin Johnson Posted On : April 8th, 2021
B.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Pune (2020)

Indian Institute of Information Technology, Pune is still new to other IIITs and is less reputed than them. 

The institute has just witnessed placement for its 1st batch of ECE and CSE. The following table shows the placement stats for the institute:

Highest CTC

22 LPA

Average CTC

7.58 LPA

Highest Stipend

Rs. 30,000

Top Companies

Amazon, Accenture, Virtusa

Total Students

450

You can ask IIIT Pune students about their experience and then can decide whether it would be a good choice for you or not. However, it is advisable to choose other reputable colleges that have strong alumni and good placement records. It has an ‘INI’ tag and after a few years maybe it comes to one of the top Engineering colleges. 

Therefore, if you have not scored well in JEE then you can opt for IIIT Pune. As Pune is an IT hub, you can expect job opportunities thereafter completing your studies.

How is it to do an MBA at NIT Calicut? What are the placement opportunities?

RB
Ramesh Banerjee Posted On : March 26th, 2021
MBA Finance & Marketing, National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2019)

The thing is that a degree in MBA has a huge opportunity to do anything individually, rather than the institution. SOMS NITC provides immense opportunities to the students. 

The syllabus may be quite similar to the other institutes, but this institute has an exceptional teaching staff quality. Additionally, the teachers mainly come from NITC, in the case of some specific subjects, which enhances the course's ultimate value.

Besides, the infrastructure facilities of this institute are just impressive. Moreover, it is considered the best among the whole NITC. Placement statistics are also outstanding as many students from this institute get placed, although they do not get much higher packages.

The following table shows the placement statistics of the institute:

Placement Percentage

58.06%

Number of Students Placed

18

Highest Package

10.20 LPA

Average Package

6.88 LPA

The infrastructure is splendid and is considered to be the best among the entire NITC. Most of the students get placed, though the packages offered are not quite high. The students of this institute have developed several committees and forums so that the placement statistics can be enhanced and internship opportunities and public relations can be taken care of.

SOMS, NIT Calicut offers good opportunities to its MBA students. The curriculum is at par with other institutes offering this program and you will get a distinguished faculty.

Why do the law undergraduates that graduated from NLS Bangalore, Nalsar earn more than IIT students?

PK
Pradeep Kumar Posted On : September 8th, 2021
BA. LLB from NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad (2023)

There are various reasons due to which law undergraduates from NLS Bangalore and NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad earn more than the IIT students. 

  • Since the economic liberalization in the early ’90s, economic activities such as FDI, mergers and acquisitions, loans, IT boom, startup culture have really picked up. This has increased the demand for qualified corporate law practitioners. 
  • Compliance with the laws of the land is a big challenge for companies, especially MNCs. They are ready to pay any amount to remain legal and work under the ambit of the law.
  • The number of law students graduating from top law schools is about 200-250, who are capable of handling the work of the 7 top law firms. 
  • On the other hand, IITs and IIMs churn out thousands of students and in very diverse fields as well.
  • Law being a very niche field also gives leverage to the students to demand higher salaries. An IIT/IIM graduate may get a CTC of INR 25 LPA. 
  • But a law associate will probably be getting a higher in-hand salary with a package of INR 17 lakhs. This is because a law graduate’s salary does not include components such as equity, provident fund, stock options, insurance, and many more.
  • An associate at a law firm has to pay a lot of taxes. This also increases a law graduate’s in-hand salary.

The law firms work in the partnershipmodel. Thus a few years down the line you have a chance to become a partner and earn quite a lot more by sharing profits.

How difficult is VTU in India?

SG
Sakshi Gupta Posted On : September 29th, 2021
Studied at Visvesvaraya Technological University

It's as difficult as it gets. In the second year, more than half of students have a backlog. 

If you are an outsider, you will have to deal with some unpleasant situations as well; you will not receive excellent internal marks, which are 25 points. Expect nothing from your teachers, but this is true throughout India. 

Attendance should be at least 75%. Only a few colleges have severe standards, while others are more lenient. Attendance should not be taken lightly; lack of attendance might result in semester detention, even in the seventh semester. Students fail practical exams here as well, and backlogs are common. You never know what's going to happen.

Regardless of these factors, I recommend that you go for VTU, just remember that you are here to study; you can do other fun things in addition to studying, but you must not neglect study at any cost. 

In VTU, you can’t score well by studying just the night before the examination. You will have to study regularly. If you study hard during the semester, your marks will be good.

To get a good grade, you need to do well in both the internal and practical exams. Then you can only obtain a 60% in the semester; to get a higher grade, you must do well on the final exam. It is difficult to achieve a score of more than 70 out of 100 on an external exam.

Marking method for VTU:

  • Internal marks: 25 (assume it's an A)
  • Passing grade=50, which equals A+B.

When thinking about passing grades, If you obtain a 0 in internal, you must score 50 in external. Similarly, if your internal score is 15, you must get 35.
