Which one is better IIT Bombay or NIT Silchar?

PS
Poornima Sahoo Posted On : March 20th, 2023
Studied M.Sc in Applied Statistics & Informatics at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IITB) (Graduated 2019)

For obvious reasons, IIT Bombay is a better choice than NIT Silchar.

  • Bombay has much more locational advantage than NIT Silchar
  • The teachers are experienced unlike in NIT Silchar wherein the teachers are still completing their PhDs from MIT, CalTech & Stanford.
  • IIT Bombay has higher JEE rankers even higher than NIT Silchar
  • IIT Bombay has much better companies that visit the campus for placements like Google, Microsoft, Credit Suisse, Intel, etc.
  • IIT Bombay has better infrastructure and amenities than NIT Silchar such as swimming pool and multiplexes.
  • IIT Bombay has better foreign exchange programs than NIT Silchar
  • IIT Bombay has richer research culture than NIT Silchar
  • The Mood Indigo fest is more vibrant and famous than the Incandescence fest of NIT Silchar

I would suggest you go for IIT Bombay over NIT Silchar any day.

Is IIM passing tough?

SY
Sarika Yadav Posted On : April 27th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

IIMs are one of the most sought-after B-Schools by MBA aspirants in the country and thus its admission criteria are equally challenging. This ensures only the best make it into the Institute and maintains the standard of education. 

It would be an understatement to say that passing IIM is tough as it is more than just tough. The competition is at another level and you will find many 98+ percentilers fighting for the seats. You might not get a call unless you are one of the top scorers in your particular field.

For those with a low academic profile, can always target other B Schools or IIMs like IIM Kolkata, IIM Lucknow, or IIM Indore instead of being fixated on IIM Ahmedabad and Bangalore.

Admission to IIM Ahmedabad, the best IIM, is extremely difficult. It calls only the top 50 scorers from each academic discipline irrespective of their academic record. Basically, anything below 99.96 percentile will not fetch them a call while for non-engineers, a 99.7+ percentile might fetch them a call. Some options to consider apart from IIM Ahmedabad are 

  • IIM Calcutta: Calcutta has the most lenient criteria as it does not consider your graduation scores or work experience for shortlisting.
  • IIM Lucknow: It does not consider class X marks for shortlisting.
  • IIM Kozhikode: It also does not consider class X scores while shortlisting.
  • IIM Indore: It normalizes the board percentages.

Candidates with a low academic profile can opt out of these top IIMs or even consider other B schools.

Is mechanical engineering at BITS Hyderabad good?

Aparna Das Posted On : December 19th, 2023

The mechanical department of BITS Hyderabad has its own advantages and disadvantages. These are-

Advantages-

  1. The department faculty is quite decent, with the faculty members having published a sizable amount of their research work in esteemed journals like Elsevier, ResearchGate, etc. The department receives decent industry projects. 
  2. The research scholars are highly qualified, and their selection criteria has become more and more strict over the years. The department lays importance on industry relevant research. The research projects are receiving good funding, and research has become more relevant and of better quality.

Disadvantages-

  1. The department lacks good societies and clubs. Moreover, the students of Mechanical do not perform well in various competitions like BAJA, ESVC, HyperLoop, etc. The SAE society of Mechanical department is in a poor condition.
  2. The department students do not put much effort into learning advanced concepts, because of which very few of them get good coursework related projects under the faculty. The faculty in turn, has become more and more disinterested towards putting in extra efforts for the students. 

I would recommend you choose Mechanical Engineering at BITS Hyderabad only if you are interested in a research career. This is not the best option for on campus placement.

Which is the best department of NIT Rourkela?

SB
Sriparna Banerjee Posted On : August 17th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Rourkela

My brother is pursuing his B.Tech Electrical from NIT Rourkela. Sometimes he feels that he made a mistake by choosing Electrical over CSE because of the popularity of the latter. 

However, he soon overcomes these thoughts. This is because Electrical has a really good scope on a global scale. Even if he doesn’t land a dream job through placements, the option of higher studies is always open for him. The curriculum of Electrical includes topics from allied branches- ECE and CSE. Unlike the popular belief among NIT Rourkela students, Electrical is not just about electrical machines and power systems. Microprocessors, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, Communication Engineering, Measurements and Instrumentation are all included in the Electrical curriculum. 

B.Tech Electrical has a very interdisciplinary nature wherein you will not learn about one specific arena, but, the curriculum will allow you to understand what really interests you. You can then pursue your higher studies in your field of interest. B.Tech Electrical is so flexible that it allows you to migrate to almost any other engineering field that you want.

I would highly recommend B.Tech Electrical if you have a passionate interest in Maths and Physics. Also, a PG in this branch will allow you to truly understand its nuances and become a specialist in this field. Thus, Electrical is the best department at NIT Rourkela according to me.
