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

  • It’s almost been 14 years since the establishment of IIT Mandi and since then it has developed a lot.
  • IIT Mandi has a great faculty base with the Director himself from a CSE background.
  • IIT Mandi’s unique curriculum helps one to learn a lot of interdisciplinary subjects even more than other IITs apart from your core courses. This imparts interdisciplinary knowledge to the students.
  • Coding culture is improving exponentially. The increasing rate of GoSC selections is a testament to the same.
  • Placements are excellent with IIT Mandi's highest package standing at INR 60 LPA & IIT Mandi's average package recorded at INR 25.23 LPA.
  • The placement season witnesses a mix of both domestic and international offers. Recruiters like Flipkart, 1mg, Microsoft, Uber, Amazon, Walmart, etc participated in the placement drive this year.

The other options available with your rank are

  • IIT Guwahati ECE
  • IIT Guwahati MNC

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.

Are M.Tech students in IIT Guwahati Data science stream eligible to sit for companies coming for CSE during placements?

SG
Srimona Gupta Posted On : May 5th, 2023

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.

Which institute is better for CSE, BITS Pilani, IIT Guwahati or IIT BHU?

NT
Nived Tripathi Posted On : March 20th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IITG)

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.

Which is better for an MTech in electrical engineering, NIT Trichy or IIT Guwahati?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : May 5th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

The choice of the institute for pursuing an MTech in Electrical Engineering depends on what you want from your Masters. 

  • For those on the lookout for placements, NIT Trichy has a good placement scenario, especially for Electrical Engineering. They are even better than some well-known IITs in M.Tech, especially Power Systems. 
  • However, if you are willing to pursue a career in research after MTech (Ph.D.) then you will have to give great importance to the choice of the institute. An IIT is best suitable for prospective Ph.D. holders as they have global recognition too.

Ultimately, the better institute is a matter of preferences and career prospects.

Which should I prefer, CSE at IIT Guwahati or electrical (5 years) at IIT Bombay?

AB
Advaith Bhaskar Posted On : May 6th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (2000–present)

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!

Is IIT Guwahati safe for South Indians from Hyderabad? How do they treat southern people that are IIT Guwahati BDes students?

SG
Sohini Ghose Posted On : May 5th, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati

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.

Which is better for mtech in mechanical engineering between nit trichy or iit guwahati?

SP
Shankar Pandey Posted On : May 5th, 2023
B.Tech Production and Industrial Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli (2020)

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.
