If in ABV-IIITM, not every one is coding, then what are other people doing and targeting for?

GY
Gaurav Yadav Posted On : January 25th, 2021

One of my friends who was a student of AB IIITM has described his journey throughout the course. Following are the points highlighted below.

  • In the 1st year, very few students have an idea of what is to be done. Students pursuing IT mostly have no prior knowledge of the stream and no one guided them throughout.
  • Students usually spent most of their useful time playing games like CS, watching movies, casual group discussions, etc.
  • After the 1st year, most students don’t attend classes with the perception that classes are of no use, and good marks can be easily achieved.
  • The actual impact starts in the 3rd year. Serious, hard-working candidates go for internships. Seeing them, average students either start coding and the others start preparation for government jobs (those who think coding is not their cup of tea).
  • There is a problem among students that they underestimate themselves in the beginning. Some of them set their target towards only selective companies like TCS, Infosys, etc, which have an easy process of selection. This is a big mistake, in which students assume that companies like Microsoft and Samsung are meant only for a specific set of students. Eventually, students having such an assumption don’t work hard and prepare only for certain companies selectively.
  • Some of these students, having such wrong perceptions fail to achieve their goal due to this lack of proper guidance and understanding.

Preparing for two years is enough for you to get a decent job, and no difficult coding skill is mandatory. Preparation can be taken in any domain. At the same time, enjoying college life is extremely important because it is generally the end of the glorious student life, and is to be missed afterward. So, do not set your goal low, and try to enjoy your college years.

Choosing between CSE at NIT Jalandhar and an IT dual degree at IIITM Gwalior can be a tough decision, as both colleges have their unique strengths and weaknesses. Here's a comparison of the infrastructure and placement opportunities at both colleges to help you make an informed decision:

Infrastructure:

  • When it comes to infrastructure, NIT Jalandhar is known for its modern facilities and well-maintained campus. The institute has state-of-the-art labs, modern classrooms, and high-speed internet connectivity. 
  • On the other hand, IIITM Gwalior also has a good infrastructure with well-equipped labs, a well-stocked library, and modern classrooms. However, it may not be at the same level as NIT Jalandhar.

Placement:

  • Both NIT Jalandhar and IIITM Gwalior have a good track record of placing students in top companies. NIT Jalandhar has a dedicated placement cell that organizes placement drives, internships, and training programs for students. Companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, and Tata Motors have hired students from NIT Jalandhar in the past. 
  • IIITM Gwalior also has a good placement record, with companies like Amazon, IBM, and Infosys visiting the campus for recruitment.

The decision of which college to attend should be based on careful consideration of all relevant factors, including academic reputation, placement opportunities, infrastructure, and location.

Weigh the pros and cons of both colleges, talk to current students and alumni, and consult with your mentors and family members before making a final decision.

How is the coding culture in IIITM Gwalior these days, and how many events are organised for it?

SK
Swapnil Kumar Posted On : April 8th, 2021
IPG (BTech + MTech) Information Technology, Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management, Gwalio…

My brother studies at IIIT M and the coding culture there is not limited to coding, i.e. the competitive coding, there are only a few of these competitive coders but they are quite dedicated and get placed with companies like Google and Microsoft. A lot of exploration can be done in different fields as well. My brother has enrolled in the Integrated Post Graduate (IPG) Course in IT, which is the only branch at IIITM G with 129 seats - a number lower than seats available at other institutes. It is ranked on #100 in the NIRF ranking list. 

Also to be noted are these -

  • As you know, due to limited seats, there is a lot of scope for peer-to-peer learning.
  • You will discover that your classmates won't stick to just coding, but will also learn more about development too; which would be software development, web development, and Android development.
  • A lot of varied events are organized weekly, bi-monthly, or annually by the students' forum called AASF. They hold programming contests and conduct classes for Freshers to introduce competitive programming. These sessions are peer-to-peer interactive ones where seniors and juniors participate in sharing ideas.

AASF is the only club that holds coding competitions, mostly for first-year students, but some programmers turn out to be very good.

The annual programming contest is what coding enthusiasts at the college look forward to. Finally, it depends on whether you are interested in coding and want to truly participate with dedication, if so, your seniors will support you the most.

Which is better for CSE among IIIT Pune, IIITDM Jabalpur, IIITM Gwalior and IIIT Chennai?

AR
Aditi Roy Posted On : December 28th, 2023
lives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

IIITDM Jabalpur is a premiere technical institute. It was established by the MoE in 2005. It is among the oldest and the most well established IIITs. 

The CSE department of IIITDM Jabalpur is better in comparison to the other colleges mentioned by you. This is evident in the preference of most students, as they give priority to IIITDM for their CSE over other IIITs. 

The placements of the CSE department have been quite good over the past few years. Moreover, IIITDM Jabalpur has a tie up with Japan, and top performers from each branch get a chance to visit the country during winter break. 

Thus, I would recommend you choose IIITDM Jabalpur for your CSE.

Which is better, IIITM Gwalior (Dual IT) vs BITS Pilani (M.Sc Bio)?

Shahid Baig Posted On : September 15th, 2020

The integrated degree program at IIITM Gwalior offers two formats; B.Tech + MBA and B.Tech + M.Tech. While most students might not go for the dual degree, it does offer an advantage over other degrees in the following terms:

  • Students can save one year of master’s degree as integrated programs are of 5 years.
  • Students also get the opportunity to opt for other courses that might not be available in mainstream B.Tech programs.
  • Students can decide on their masters after the third year; about if they want to pursue an MBA or M.Tech. In this choice, IIITM Gwalior is more famous for its M.tech degree rather than an MBA.
  • It also gives students an extra year to prepare for further exams like GSoC, ICPC, and TGMC.
  • Students are also allowed to participate in intense and advanced research projects which add value to their portfolio.
  • One potential drawback could be that an integrated program does not grant you a specific specialization. Students are only awarded an M.Tech degree. However, this factor does not affect placements and dual degree alumni get the same placement offers as mainstream master’s degree students do.
  • The student-faculty ratio in the dual degree program is also high which allows students to get personalized attention by the best research faculty on the campus.

BITSPilani also offers integrated dual degree courses, but the specialization is dependent on the overall performance of the students.

  • Students are given CS or M.Sc Bio depending on their performance in the first year of the integrated program. While M.Sc. Bio has a completely different course structure than CS, it does open several different opportunities for a career in foreign countries.
  • The Biology department at BITS Pilani is relatively reputed for its famous slogan ‘Biology at BITS is taught in a way where you’ll not have to memorize.’
  • For students who wish to pursue only CS for their integrated degree, it is important to know that getting CS in master’s has a ratio of 1:5 as compared to all other courses.
  • While purely CS students might not be looking at Bio for their Master’s, an M.Sc. in Bio from BITS is highly reputed and prompts students to go for unconventional career options.

In the end, it completely depends on the student, if they wish to pursue an integrated degree at IIITM Gwalior or BITS Pilani. However, students need to do their ground research on the modalities and course structure of these courses that are offered.
