For every Engineering aspirant, choosing the branch is the most crucial task as it is an important step in shaping your career. I suggest you take your inclinations into consideration. No doubt, it’s difficult to identify your interests right after class 12th.
CSE in IIT Mandi
The other options available with your rank are
The best way would be to do extensive research about both colleges, make a list of things that you are looking for in your B.Tech program, prioritize and quantify them and then take the final decision.
Yes, M.Tech students in the Data Science stream at IIT Guwahati are eligible to sit for companies coming for CSE during placements. Most companies have no criteria for selecting students from specific streams only. However, it is up to the individual companies to decide which students they want to interview and hire.
Every company that visits the campus for placements has fixed eligibility criteria such as 10th, 12th percentage, and then the specific branch they are looking for. For instance, Goldman Sachs prefers students of Civil Engineering. A student that fulfills all the necessary criteria set by the recruiting company can sit for the written exam and further process that happens in the subsequent round.
It has been observed that most companies are open for both CSE and Data Science Branch during the placement process.
MSc in Mathematics syllabus is designed in such a way that it focuses entirely on pure mathematical concepts and analysis. It is the backbone of core mathematics which is a stepping stone for the advanced level of research at the doctorate stage. Data Structures and Algorithms, and Theory of Computation are compulsory subjects along with r CS electives such as Database Management Systems, Parallel Programming, and Distributed Computing, The course is somewhat inclined towards computing.
A few other courses covered under this program are as follows:
MSc Mathematics Computing / MSc Applied Mathematics at IIT Guwahati covers courses like
This program focuses mostly on solving problems arising in various branches of Engineering, Economics, Business, and Finance. It also deals with developing algorithms to perform high-order calculations and deals with statistical computation too.
Since the introduction of statistical software like R, SAS and MATLAB, Python, SAGEMATH, and High Order Clusters, Mathematical Computations have improved due to high speed and calculations on large data.
When it comes to Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) programs, IIIT Hyderabad is undoubtedly one of the best options available. The study environment and coding culture at IIIT Hyderabad are unmatched, making it a great choice for students interested in CSE.
However, if you are looking for a more well-rounded college experience that includes a relaxed and enjoyable campus life, an older IIT may be a better choice for you. While IIIT Hyderabad excels in academics, it may not provide the same level of student life experience as an IIT.
When deciding between colleges, it is important to consider all aspects of the institution, not just academics. For example, BITS Pilani is an excellent college in all aspects, but if you have the option of getting into an older IIT such as IIT Guwahati, it may be a better choice for you.
Similarly, when choosing between BHU and IIT Guwahati, it is advisable to choose IIT Guwahati. While BHU has recently been given the IIT tag, IIT Guwahati is now being compared to older IITs and is even beating some of them in various rankings.
Finally, if you do not get admission into CSE with a rank of 803, Mathematics and Computing (MnC) is always an option. In fact, MnC is a safer option with better placement opportunities at IIT Guwahati. So, you can always consider MnC if you don't get CSE.
The choice of the institute for pursuing an MTech in Electrical Engineering depends on what you want from your Masters.
Ultimately, the better institute is a matter of preferences and career prospects.
I always find comparing two branches very illogical because the entire purpose of branches is to cater to the interests of different people. One stream might be good for you but not for the other and vice versa.
An electrical engineer works with impressive technologies like microprocessors or communication systems. A computer engineer on the other hand achieves great things through his computer. It’s better to read about machine learning classification.
Some students prefer judging colleges on the basis of the kind of environment they offer. Both IIT Bombay and IIT Guwahati have a great academic environment and offer excellent exposure. Both the colleges are good in all aspects like placements, location, and academics. Don’t follow the trends and standards set by society and follow what your heart says!
Yes, students of IIT Guwahati MTech Computational Mechanics get placed in both core and non-core companies with decent packages. These students are allowed to sit for almost every core company that visits the IIT Guwahati campus. In Fact, there are many companies that prefer CM students over students from other branches.
The placement percentage is around 60–70% considering placement statistics of the past few years. There are many students who embark on a career in research through Ph.D. in foreign universities. Getting recommendations from IIT Guwahati’s professors will make your OhD easier.
IIT tag will fetch you jobs off campus too, so don’t worry, you will end up with a job either way.
IIT Guwahati is safe not only for South Indians but for every student of the college. The campus is very beautiful and the serene ambiance attracts many across the country. There is no reason to feel insecure here. If it’s the Hyderabad people you are worried about, lay your worries to rest because they are the most friendly you will find.
There is no impartial attitude towards students from any state and professors treat every student equally. Despite the language barrier, you can see great harmony between the students as they can often be seen playing together.
You can find diverse peer groups here and the love for Engineering and nature can be seen as the binding factor between them. Parents of certain children often hesitate from sending their children to the Northeast but trust me after a few months you will think of IIT Guwahati as your home, such is its charm.
IIT Guwahati alumni have been raising the flag high of the institute by setting up various startups. Some of them have been listed below
Trust me when I say the list goes on!
The better option depends on what your purpose and life goals are and what you want from your Master.
If you want to pursue a career in research (PhD) the best option for you is IIT Guwahati. Being one of the oldest and most highly reputed IITs, it has high credibility and will fetch you Ph.D. interviews much more easily. Additionally, IIT Guwahati also offers immense exposure through foreign exchange programs. IIT Guwahati has collaborations with various reputed universities and can be preferred over NITs.
However, if it's the jobs you are after, then NIT is a better option as it’s more accessible to employers. Still, IIT Guwahati will always be my first preference. Be it a job or higher education, IITs always give an edge to other engineering institutes.
