Which institute is better, VIT, vellore or Nit Jalandhar?

AT
Aryan Thakur Posted On : January 5th, 2023
Studied at Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar ( NITJ )

In most cases, you can find decent placement in core companies at VIT, Vellore. College life is fantastic if you have great companions. You have plenty of free time and opportunities to grow, but it is up to you to take the initiative.

Whereas NIT Jalandhar allows you to customize the courses you want to study each semester with some limitations. Students are given less autonomy. Go for it if you can get a core branch in VIT, Vellore. After graduation, you can have a good placement and brand value.

Should I do my MBBS from an above average government college or one of the best private college (KMC Manipal)?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 30th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

As a student of KMC Manipal, I will list down some reasons for choosing this college-

  1. The quality of education at KMC Manipal is at par with other top medical colleges of India.
  2. It has a very good infrastructure, even better than PGI which is an elite institution.
  3. You’ll get studious peers and dedicated faculty over here. Other than the curriculum, you’ll also be taught about all the latest developments in medicine.
  4. You’ll get good clinical exposure.
  5. KMC Manipal encourages undergraduate research. You can publish papers as a UG student too.
  6. The college has good foreign exchange programs.
  7. Your seniors will guide you on USMLE and PLAB. 
  8. The coursework and teaching methodology is top-notch. With proper attention in class and routine revisions, you can get into AIIMS for your PG. Even for coaching, DAMS and Bhatia Classes are available near the campus. They hold weekend classes so your college studies won’t be affected.
  9. The college and hospital are quite safe. The classrooms and hostels are filled with all the facilities. Extracurriculars form an important part of campus life.
  10. The college is very strict regarding attendance, so you’ll grow into a disciplined doctor.
  11. Unlike many government colleges, KMC Manipal doesn’t have a rural service bond.

But there are some disadvantages too-

Manipal is very expensive, and the PG seats are even more expensive. Getting a PG seat is very difficult because of extremely high competition.

You should choose KMC Manipal over an above average government college. But make sure you are fine with the above listed disadvantages.

Why is IIM Indore not so preferred as IIM Kozhikode even when both were established in the same academic year?

PP
Pragya Pathak Posted On : August 20th, 2021
Completed PGDM in Finance & Strategy, IIM Kozhikode (2020)

The reason why IIM Kozhikode is given more preference by candidates is due to the size of the batch. The Mumbai campus was started by IIM Indore and the placement process of both institutes is carried out at the same time. Both are among the top ten business schools in India.

The following data shows how the two institutions can go head to head:

Categories IIM Kozhikode IIM Indore
Admission Criteria CAT/GMAT CAT/GMAT

Average CTC 18 LPA 19 LPA
Highest CTC 35 LPA 34 LPA
Top Recruiting Sector Consulting Finance

Which is better: IIT Guwahati CSE or IIT BHU CSE?

SD
Sharad Dev Posted On : March 20th, 2023
B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IITG) (Graduated 2017)

 Instead of recommending any specific institute, there are some myths that need to be debunked first:

  • Placements at one institute are better than the other.
  • BHU has a wider network.
  • IITG has a cooler administration.

You must compare the two courses based on the following features:

  • Academic research
  • Placement statistics
  • Competitive coding
  • Open-source development
  • Other club activities
  • Climate and geography
  • Connectivity (and distance from hometown)

If you're specifically interested in CSE, then the first four points are almost equal for both BHU and Guwahati. When it comes to the other points, IITG has a better climate, while Varanasi may be better connected and nearer to your hometown.

So, it's up to you to weigh the pros and cons and decide which institute suits you better. Remember to make an informed decision and choose wisely.

What would be better for an above average student interested in finance, IIM Kozhikode or SP Jain?

SJ
Sidhharth Jain Posted On : November 17th, 2022
IIM Kozhikode 2014-16

Both colleges have nearly identical fee structures. Top consulting firms such as Mckinsey, EY, and Frost & Sullivan hire from K but not SP Jain. BCG, Accenture Strategy, PWC, Deloitte, KPMG, PRTM, CBC, and others have all visited both. While consulting firms extended 41% of all offers, the median salary increased by 32.5 percent from 2021 to 2022. Consulting emerged as the top recruiting sector at SPJ, with offers extended to 38% of the 238 participants.

In terms of middle office IBD and Wealth Management roles offered by JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and Credit Suisse, K clearly outperforms SPJ. However, SPJain had a better scene in corporate finance, with Mondelez, GE, and Vodafone all offering corp fin. In Corporate Banking/Treasury, the number of companies visiting both is equal, with Citi, Yes Bank, ICICI, Axis, IDFC, IndusInd, and others visiting both. JM Financials and Standard Chartered are two brands that do not hire from K for corp banking. For the first time, Deutsche Bank has hired exclusively from K for their corporate banking role, rather than from SP Jain.

IIM K has provided a variety of finance roles, including middle and front-office investment banking, wealth management, corporate banking, and treasury roles, whereas investment banking and wealth management roles are almost nonexistent in SP Jain. They have a higher proportion of corporate finance positions available.

Going forward, with the expected growth and increasing alumni base, IIM K should be clearly a preferred choice over SP Jain for students aspiring to finance and consulting roles.

Is IIIT Bangalore better than NITs?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : October 10th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

IIIT Bangalore is a public-private co-owned college. It is supported by big corporations like Infosys on one hand, and the Karnataka Government on the other.

It is analogous to IIIT Hyderabad but less recognized in comparison. It has an exceptionally good coding culture and top-class faculty for both CSE and ECE courses. 

Placement-wise, only the top 5 NITs are actually performing impressively. IIIT Bangalore M.Tech graduates are placed with good packages in top brands. iM.Techs of IIIT Bangalore secure good internships in top brands like OLA, HCL, Infosys, etc. Several of them are selected for GSoC. 

IIIT Bangalore is far ahead of most NITs, except the top 3-4 of them. If you are interested in CSE/ ECE branches, this is the place for you.

What should I choose between NIT Surathkal CSE and IIT Kanpur civil chemical

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : April 19th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

I would recommend you choose IIT over NIT any day irrespective of the branch because it is recognized globally. The quality of packages and roles offered are also better and with the right motivation and determination, one can even change his branch to a better one.

At IIT Kanpur, I would advise you to go for Chemical rather than Civil. BTech Chemical Engineering combined with Masters in Petroleum Engineering is the highest paying bracket in the USA with more than 74000 Jobs available for outsiders in the Middle East, US, and Canada at a five yr median of $ 18600.

Additionally, at IIT Kanpur the ocean of electives to choose from enables you to pursue CS course side by side through certifications in 64/128/256 bit SSL Encryption, Data Structures, and Oracle which have great importance. While CS students can be found everywhere, you will find only a few Chemical Engineers.

Concludingly, it’s best to go for IIT Kanpur Chemical for the long term or IIT Kanpur Civil with a branch change to EEE or Mechanical in mind.

Which should I choose: CSE at BITS, Goa or CSE at NIT, Trichy?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : July 19th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

I hope you are not the kind who evaluates and compares institutes solely based on their placement scenario. Here are a few things to consider while comparing CSE at BITS Goa and CSE at NIT Trichy.

  • Faculty: BITS Goa CS department has a better and more experienced faculty pool in comparison to the NIT Trichy CS department. BITS Goa has a thorough screening while recruiting and most professors are PhD holders from top colleges abroad as well from India.
  • Infrastructure: Both institutes are equally good in this aspect with top-notch infrastructure and facilities.
  • Peer group: The crowd quality is also similar considering that NIT Trichy being the top NIT attracts high-rankers while the no-reservation policy at BITS Pilani ensures only the best minds. 
  • Brand value: BIT Pilani enjoys a better brand value because of its rich legacy and wins in this aspect although NIT itself is not very bad either.
  • Fees: This is where NIT Trichy takes the lead as its BTech one-year fee is only ?1.78 Lakhs (1st Year Fees) while BITS Goa BE first-year fee is ?5.72 Lakhs.
  • Placements: BITS Goa again is the winner here although, with excellent coding skills, you can get a great job in any of the 2 institutes.

So, unless you have any financial constraints, BITS Goa is the best choice for you.

Which one is better: IIM Indore or IIM Lucknow?

AY
Amit Yadav Posted On : June 6th, 2022
PGP from Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (2021)

IIM Lucknow has better ranking and placements compared to IIM Indore. 

  • It is an older IIM and has a huge alumni base spread across industries and geographies. Hence it has better recognition in the industry. 
  • IIM Lucknow has a smaller batch size compared to IIM Indore. Due to the small batch size, it’s easier for the institute to offer better salary packages and profiles to students. 
  • IIM Lucknow placements are better compared to IIM Indore. The 2022 placement drive of IIM I ended with an average CTC of INR 31 LPA. While the highest CTC offered was INR 61 LPA. 

Both IIMs offer similar ROI.
