From the year 2015, a new CBCS system i.e.Choice Based Credit System has been introduced in IET DAVV. This system has brought a remarkable change in academics, especially in the grading system. With the introduction of the CBCS system, students are now allotted alphabetical grades instead of numerical marks on their performance in the exam. 

With the implementation of the CBCS system, the management has also modified and updated various courses and syllabus. In the CBCS system, the final marks are calculated on the basis of two scores. 40% from mid sem test and 50% from the final exam score constitute to become the final marks. This system has reduced the stress on performing in a single final exam. The only downside that this system has is that you have to appear in two mid sem compulsorily to score in the final exam. Overall, the CBCS system is way better than the previous system. Rest everything depends on how you perform in the exam.

Most of the colleges have a transfer policy. IET-DAVV, Indore is one among such colleges. In IET, fortunately, admission is allowed in the second year of engineering. The only two conditions are as follows.

• IET should have vacant seats.
• The candidate has successfully cleared the first year of B.E. with passing marks in all the subjects as per the passing criteria of the previous college, i.e., JEC Jabalpur.

There are chances that the transfer applications are piled-up more than the available number of seats. If this is the case, the transfer depends upon the merit of marks obtained in the first year.

You should contact IET and enquire about the conditions for student transfer. Sometimes reputed institutes do not accept a transfer from lesser-known institutes. For example, IITs do not take a transfer from a state university. So, do your research. 

The electronics branch in engineering is not doing that well in our country. If you are not from a well-established and old IIT, there aren’t that many placement options anymore.

As far as IET DAVV is concerned, you will probably get an average placement at Wipro for INR 3 lakhs per annum after doing so much hard work for four years. My advice to you would be to choose SGSITS for electrical engineering. You can expect placements in many core companies with great campus life and a healthy competitive environment.

In the future, if you are planning to appear for competitive exams like GATE, CAT, UPSC, etc. GSITS performs very well just like its placements.

You should definitely choose CSE at IIIT Nagpur over IT at IET DAVV. There are many compelling reasons for choosing IET DAVV over IIIT Nagpur some of which are given below.

• IET DAVV was established way before IIIT Nagpur. IIIT N is a fairly new institute with its first batch passing out in 2020. So industry connections are obviously better at IET.
• Being the older institute it obviously has a better and larger alumni base.
• It also has a lower fee compared to IIIT Nagpur.
• The institute also has a permanent campus while IIIT Nagpur is currently operating from the temporary campus of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited’s Regional Telecom Training Center.

Thus in the long run IET will be better for your career.

One of my cousins studied at IET DAVV. According to him, it will be better if you choose IET DAVV over IIIT Dharwad for engineering. Here are some reasons behind his choice -

Firstly, anyone in your situation will probably choose IET DAVV as it is situated in Indore. Your transportation and accommodation costs will minimize if you study from your hometown. This is a major advantage for you.

• IET DAVV is a reputed college. Their curriculum is updated meeting industry trends and standards.
• The college has good placement records.
• The students are talented. Also, IET has a happening college life too along with a diverse crowd.
• The faculty at IET DAVV are well experienced and highly qualified.

• IIIT Dharwad is a new institute, with no batch placed yet but there are pre-placement records.
• IIIT Dharwad has no good infrastructure at present. The college does not have a permanent campus.

Ultimately the decision is yours but it is suggested that you go for IET DAVV rather than IIIT Dharwad.

A few of my friends graduated from both IET DAVV and JEC. They say that the choice mostly varies according to your interests and the plans you have for your future.

• If you are planning for GATE then ET will not be a good choice. But if you are thinking of campus placements then IET has better records of placements than JEC.
• There is no more chance of growth in ET compared to CS. You will get better placements with CSE but for exposure and environment, IET is the better one.
• You will find good seniors and quite a supportive faculty.
• Talking of the colleges’ locations, Indore is better than Jabalpur not only fits your plans but also an important parameter while choosing a college.

Finally, IET is a better college compared to JEC but the ET course at IET is mediocre while the CS branch has a great scope. However, the final decision is up to you. Choose wisely.
