How are NIT Trichy hostels?
The NIT Trichy campus is covered in greenery and located away from the main city. Because of this, the campus weather is comparatively pleasant. The common mode of transportation for students within the campus are bicycles. No powered vehicles, including motorcycles are allowed for students.
Boys are strictly prohibited from entering the girls’ hostels. Fresher boys are allotted double and triple sharing rooms in one of the four hostels (Garnet A,B,C- double sharing rooms, Agate- triple sharing rooms). Garnet C does not have a proper water filter, so try avoiding that hostel.
The campus is ragging free, and senior boys are not allowed inside fresher hostels. All the fresher hostels are decent. The hostellers of NITT have access to free wifi. The second year hostels are the same as fresher hostels, but they have lifts. There are three hostels for 2nd year boys.
The hostel facility is thus, quite decent at NIT Trichy.
How is BIMTECH Noida for an MBA?
If your CAT percentile is between 80 and 90, BIMTECH is a good option to consider. The campus is vast, with all modern amenities, and the faculty is excellent. However, when it comes to placement, PGDM and PGDM - Insurance students receive the highest number of offers.
If you want to study International Business or Retail Management, look into their most recent placement records and make an informed decision.

What's best college among BPUT, SOA (ITER) & KIIT in terms of placements?
KIIT is the best technical college in Orissa, in terms of placements too. Its students get placement offers before the 8th semester itself. But on average, the offers aren’t very attractive. Plus, the fee of KIIT is much higher compared to ITER and BPUT.
My cousin was a bright student at KIIT. He received a good on campus placement. On the other hand, I was a BPUT graduate. Though I was also good at studies, I had to look for off campus placements due to lack of on campus offers.
But my knowledge and hard work eventually paid, and I got a good job with a good package. At present, my cousin and I get an equal salary, and we are both working in different companies in the US.
KIIT is the best for on campus placements. ITER is not as good, but much better than BPUT. But my point is, even if you end up in ITER/BPUT because of financial constraints or some other reason, do not give up hopes. At the end of the day, your hardwork and determination is all that matters.
Considering good placements and packages, which branch should I opt for: EXTC or IT in the KJ Somaiya College of Engineering?
My sister studied at KJSCE and grabbed an offer to work with TCS. So you should not concern yourself about placements because it is excellent. It's an autonomous institute, so more companies are visiting now.
If you're joining KJSCE because your goal is MBA then keep in mind that even if you amass good work experience, it matters from where you have gained that experience from. For example, having experience in the mechanical field won't get you the IT job you aspire to. So choose the branch that interests you because you'll have to spend 4 precious years in that.
Who knows, even after 4 years of engineering with 3 years of work experience making it a total of 7 years, you might notice huge changes in your thought process. And even after its completion, when you go for placements, your field of study in UG will matter. Let’s say you are appearing for a managerial post in an IT firm, then you will definitely have a better preference if you did your UG in IT or CSE.
It’s good to think ahead but don’t just choose a branch based on the placement.
What's it like to attend IIT Mandi?
My sister is an alumnus of IIT Mandi and her experience at IIT Mandi is what motivated me to write this answer.
- IIT Nandi faculty is highly cooperative and you can approach the teachers almost any time of the day
- Good projects are awarded to the students of IIT Mandi. This is a source of inspiration as you feel proud of contributing somehow.
- IIT Mandi has been chosen as a Technology Business Incubator (TBI) among a few other IITs, under the Startup India campaign. This has strengthened the entrepreneurship culture at the institute.
- The batch size of IIT Mandi is quite small in comparison to other engineering colleges. This provides more chances to participate and take up responsible roles.
- Sports facilities at IIT Mandi include a functional cricket ground, football field, basketball court, and tennis court. Additionally, there is an indoor badminton court, a table tennis room, and a decent gym. IIT Mandi has a well-equipped mechanical lab that receives new inventory and machinery from time to time.
- 24/7 Wi-Fi facilities
Cons
- Owing to its remote location, IIT Mandi fails to retain good academic talent and maintains a consistent good curriculum.
- Being new and also because of its location, IIT Mandi is still not recognized m by many companies for on-campus placements.
All in all, IIT Mandi has a very happening campus life that will leave you with millions of memories.
Which is better, NIT Silchar, NIT Agartala, or NIT Mizoram?
NIT Silchar is a far better option than both NIT Agartala and NIT Mizoram. There are a number of strong reasons that support my claim I have listed the most important ones
- Nit Silchar has an excellent placement scenario for all branches. NIT Silchar average package stood at INR 13.58 LPA, NIT Agartala median package stood at INR 7 LPA, and NIT Mizoram median package 2021 stood at INR 6.80 LPA. So NIT Silchar definitely has much better placements than the other two colleges.
- NIT Mizoram BTech was ranked 88 out of 170 in India 2023, NIT Agartala BTech ranking is 91 out of 200 in India 2023 while NIT Silchar BTech ranking is 40 out of 200 in India. The drastic difference in rankings proves that NIT Silchar is way ahead of than other two NITs.
- The rate of development is very high in NIT Silchar in every sector.
- The campus of NIT Silchar is beautiful and huge, spreading across 600+ acres. It has a better campus and infrastructure than the other two NITs.
So, it’s advisable to give preference to NIT Silchar over NIT Agartala and NIT Mizoram due to the above reasons.

How is civil engineering at IIT Ropar?
The Civil Engineering dept. at IIT Ropar believes in growing as well as standing out. The Head of the Department, Professor Deepak Kashyap is a highly experienced member of the faculty and has taught at IIT Roorkee. The students look up to him a lot.
If we talk about the infrastructure, then new and advanced labs have been commissioned. In addition to that, a state-of-the-art Soil-Water-Plant lab has been set up which covers an area of 2.5 acres in the new campus. A number of text and reference books journals for research have been procured by the institute to be made available for the students for their convenience.
The faculty is in constant interaction with the authorities of the Government of Punjab for organizing activities that involve collaboration. They have already conducted several studies in consulting and also building a training program for PUDA engineers.
A computer model of groundwater flow and transport that is comprehensive is also being developed. Recently, the Newton-Bhabha has offered INR 1 crore as financial backing to the first research project of the department of civil engineering. It also plans to increase the intake of B.Tech aspirants and introduce the M.Tech course.
