Should I take cse at ISM Dhanbad or civil at IIT Hyderabad?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : May 16th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

I would never recommend you to go for any core branch at new IITs. With the new IIT tag, ISM Dhanbad is a far better option as it was established in 1926 and enjoys global recognition in contrast to IIT Hyderabad, which is still under development. Both the colleges are poles apart in terms of infrastructure, facilities, etc.

The table below shows a head-on comparison of the placement scenario at both the institutes:

Can I get into Computer Science in Chitkara University with 56 marks in JEE Mains and 70% in CBSE boards?

AS
Anuj Sahu Posted On : May 22nd, 2021
B.TECH Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering, Chitkara University (2019)

If you’re willing to join Punjab campus with 56 marks in JEE Mains and 70% in CBSE boards, it would be extremely difficult. 

It would be best for you to go to the Baddi campus with that much score. Equal opportunities are provided to students of both the campus. People tend to believe in the notion that Punjab campus is superior to Baddi campus as the former was established first. However, this is not true. It all comes down to your learning skills. The better you are, the more options you are provided to choose from and to polish your coding skills.

To know more about the admission you can get in contact with the institute.

Which is better, IIT Kharagpur aerospace or IIT Dharwad CSE?

AS
Atul Sharma Posted On : March 28th, 2023
Works at Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IIT KGP)

The choice of both branch and institute depends a lot on factors like your career prospects and areas of interest. However, since you haven't decided on a branch yet, I will assume you aren't yet sure of a branch and are open to exploring more branches. Don't worry, as most students clearing JEE Advanced face a similar situation. Personally, I will recommend you to go for IIT KGP over ISM Dhanbad because of 2 strong reasons
IIT KGP gives you the chance to explore and identify your area of interest. Even if you go for coding and later realize you don't like it, you can always go for non-core jobs that are in abundance at IIT KGP. But in the case of Dhanbad, you will have to stick to coding irrespective of your career inclinations. This is a major factor as it is your passion that determines your success rate.
IIT KGP has a more diverse group of individuals that are literal geniuses. Even if you are an above-average student you will face tough competition and thus will always strive to excel and grow. Dhanbad has an average-quality peer group and thus your growth might be restricted there.
I can only guide you to make a good decision, the final authority lies with you.

Which branch is better at Thapar University - mechanical or computer science?

DC
Dhruv Chowdhury Posted On : May 1st, 2023
studied at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (2020)

When deciding on a branch of engineering, it is important to consider the long-term prospects of the field and the policies of the university offering it. Here are some points to keep in mind while choosing a stream:

  • While some may argue that mechanical engineering is better than newer branches, it is important to keep in mind that every branch of engineering has its own set of advantages and opportunities.
  • Thapar University is a private institution that may prioritize profits over student interests. As such, it is important to consider the policies they set in place to make money.
  • Certain branches of engineering, such as mechatronics and robotics, may be kept to earn more profits, as they may charge an extra 10k in addition to other expenses associated with these streams.
  • It is also important to consider the job prospects in your chosen field. Some companies may not offer jobs to those in certain branches of engineering, which can impact your career prospects.
  • It is advisable to do thorough research before choosing a branch of engineering. Speaking with current students and alumni can provide valuable insight into the field and the university.
  • One should also keep in mind that switching branches may be an option. If, like a friend of the speaker, you find that your chosen branch is not a good fit for you, it may be possible to switch to another branch, such as computer engineering.

In conclusion, choosing a branch of engineering should be a well-thought-out decision, taking into consideration the long-term prospects, policies of the university, and job opportunities in the field. Doing proper research can help ensure that you make an informed decision that is right for you.

Which will be a better choice, CSE at UIET Hoshiarpur or EEE at UIET Chandigarh?

AP
Aniket Patronobish Posted On : May 31st, 2021
Studied at University Institute of Engineering and Technology, Panjab University

The choice between CSE and EEE is subjective and totally depends on you. Keep aside your confusion about these colleges and give a thought to what you want to pursue by outlining the major factors that drive your interest the most.

You should rather explore the curriculum, campus, placements, packages offered, faculty, etc. of both the colleges in that particular field.

Both UIET Hoshiarpur and UIET Chandigarh provide a degree from Punjab University. I guess the highlighted difference you would find are the cities in which they are located and the campus life. Here’s a brief insight into the courses.

Parameters 

CSE at UIET Hoshiarpur

EEE at UIET Chandigarh

Highest CTC

6.5 LPA

28 LPA

Average CTC

4 LPA

6.5 LPA

The question here arises whether or not you want to pursue higher studies after going for EEE. EEE in UIET would not provide you with good placements. Go for CSE at Hoshiarpur if you have no other options. 

You can consider other options too if you have them.

Which is the best option, Mathematics and Computing at IIT Guwahati, CSE at IIIT Hyderabad, or CSE at BITS Pilani?

A
Admin Posted On : May 14th, 2024
  • According to me, BITS Pilani is the best option for those who want to pursue CSE. The curriculum has been designed in a way that will help the students to get thorough knowledge of the domain. The curriculum has an equal focus on theoretical and practical subjects. 
  • However, you need to be prepared to learn many courses per semester. You will be truly busy during the four years of this course with too many assignments, lab tests, quizzes, etc. 
  • You will need adequate practice and hard work to ace the tests. However, at BITS Pilani we believe in smart work instead of hard work. 
  • The total fee for this 4-year CSE course is around INR 22 lakhs including the hostel fees. The median salary for 2023 stood at INR 18.20 LPA. The top recruiters include Adobe, Accenture, Apple, Cipla, Bajaj Finserv, Cognizant and many more.

What should I choose, DTU engineering physics or Thapar University CS?

SP
Samira Puri Posted On : August 10th, 2021
Studied at Calcutta University (2019)

Having known some people studying in both these institutions, I can say that if you plan to get a job offer, go for CS at Thapar University. If not and are interested in doing research opt for Engineering Physics at DTU.

  • Engineering Physics is a field which does not anymore provide a promising opportunity to its aspirants. 
  • If you go with this choice of branch you might get research opportunities after higher studies. 
  • Moreover, if you have prioritized DTU, keep in mind that the quality of education and academic career is reducing with every passing year. 
  • Few of the many branches at DTU are striving to keep their esteemed position with engineering physics not being one of them.
  • Instead, CS at Thapar University would be an excellent option for building a path for your career. 
  • This branch is known for its exceptional academics and for the opportunities held out to the students. 
  • Although it is a batch of almost 570 students in CS you can certainly end up with a 5LPA and above package by the end of your 4th year.
Categories CS at Thapar University
Course Fee 13.23 lakh
Highest CTC 22 LPA
Average CTC 8 LPA

There are many reputed companies that take part in their placement program and recruit CS graduates. These include Infosys, Wipro, Accenture, Capgemini, Oracle, IBM, ZS Associates, Morgan Stanley and many more.

Is it worth joining UIET, Chandigarh? The CSE Department.

MS
Mohit Singh Posted On : May 31st, 2021
B.E. Computer Science and Engineering, Panjab University, Chandigarh (2019)

UIET Chandigarh may not be the best institute for B.E. CSE as very few faculty members provide quality learning to students. But if you are already into coding, then it really does not matter. 

To sail through CSE in any other college (including UIET), apart from IIT, you need to keep in mind that CSE covers the overall computer learnings, starting from silicon to single printf. You need to focus on the concepts and core subjects like Operating System, Computer Architecture, Digital Electronics, Principles of Compiler Design, and Computer Networks. No institute can provide a surety to develop your coding skills. It depends upon your self-improvements.

Here’s a highlight of the CSE program at UIET. 

Average CTC

INR 6.45 LPA

Highest CTC

INR 31 LPA

Top Recruiters

Google, Vedanta, Tata Power, Hindustan Unilever, Amazon, Goldman & Sachs, and Samsung, American Express, 

If you want to develop coding skills, learn online using Linux, gcc, vim. Apart from the lack of coding culture life at UIET is great, you will have a good college life.
