Which is a better option: aerospace engineering in IIT Kanpur or production and industrial engineering in IIT Delhi?

SN
Saugata Nayak Posted On : April 10th, 2023
Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (2020)

IIT Kanpur has several advantages over IIT Delhi. A few are mentioned below:

  • Unlike IIT Delhi, branch change facility is not restricted to the first year only and one can change branches even after the 2nd year 
  •  IIT Kanpur offers an enriched campus life with great relations between students as well as students and faculty. 
  • There are no LAN restrictions at IIT Kanpur whereas, IIT Delhi restricts usage of LAN from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. 

Lastly, once you enter IIT, your branch rarely matters. Your placements solely depend on your CG, your skills, and the efforts you invested throughout. So, go for a branch that matches your area of interest and you are good to go.

Which IIT is better, IIT Delhi or IIT Kanpur?

TS
Tamaghno Saha Posted On : April 1st, 2023
CSE from IIT Delhi (2019)

Both IIT Delhi and IIT Kanpur are well-respected institutions in the field of engineering and technology. They are both ranked among the top engineering colleges in India, and they have a reputation for producing successful graduates. However, while choosing between the two you can consider the following aspects 

  1. Ranking: According to NIRF rankings, IIT Delhi stands in the second position while IIT Kanpur is in fourth. So IIT Delhi enjoys a better reputation and preference rate than IIT Kanpur mainly because of its location.
  2. Course: IIT Kanpur offers an abundance of courses to choose from. It has 8 B.Tech programs; 13 M.Tech programs; several dual degrees; B.Sc and M.Sc; Ph.D. programs and M.Des. (Master of Design). The courses are well-structured with a better grading system than IIT Delhi and thus in this aspect, IIT Kanpur is surely the winner.
  3. Placements: The placement scenario at both the IITs are somewhat similar with IIT Delhi at a slight advantage owing to its location. The table below gives the statistical differences between placements of the 2 institutes

       4. Alumni network: Both IIT Delhi and Kanpur have equally good alumni like N. R. Narayana Murthy and Manindra Agrawal from IIT Kanpur and Sanjay, Binny Bansal, and Chetan Bhagat from IIT Delhi.

       5. IoE: One interesting aspect that sets IIT Delhi apart from IIT Kanpur is its Institute of Eminence (IoE) Status, under which the Institute can make its own decisions regarding course structure, infrastructure, fees, etc. This is unique and only IIT Bombay and Delhi are the IITs that enjoy this status as of now.

Both the IITs are unique in their way with their strengths and weaknesses. Ultimately, the ‘better institute’ is more of a personal choice and depends on many factors. If I were in your place, I would have certainly taken IIT Delhi mainly because of its prime location.

What is the difference in grading system at IIT Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur?

SB
Sumit Bose Posted On : March 21st, 2023
IIT Bombay (2019)

All the 3 IITs, IIT Kanpur, IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi, follow the relative grading. Under this, your grades are calculated after your GPA is generated with respect to the highest scorer's marks. This system is quite similar to that in the US except that the parameters considered while calculating grades are way different.

Grades are calculated by giving weightage to such parameters 

  • Tests
  • Assignments
  • Projects
  • Quizzes
  • Group projects
  • Class participation 

IIT B and IIT D grading system looks like this

Grade

AA or AP

10

AB

BC

CC

CD

How are the aerospace engineering departments at IIT Bombay, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras?

PU
Pranav Upadhyay Posted On : March 20th, 2023
Aerospace engineering ,IIT KGP

Aerospace Engineering can be further divided into four parts 

  • Aerodynamics - An extension of fluid mechanics 
  • Structures - All about mechanics of materials
  • Propulsion - A good base in aerodynamics will help you 
  • Controls and dynamics - Mainly used for navigation 

Apart from this there is a lot of Math involved in the curriculum.

The aerospace engineering branches of all the institutes you mentioned give an edge to each other and are equally good. The choice should be based on personal preference, accessibility, campus life, academics, extracurricular activities and placements.

IIT Kharagpur: Pros

  • Massive and surreal campus 
  • Less academic burden
  • Good faculty pool with experienced professors that are easier approachable.
  • Companies like Airbus, GE, Honeywell, Altair, Rolls Royce, etc come for placements in the core sector.
  • Some of the students go for higher studies in foreign universities like Purdue, Texas A&M, University of Texas, Austin, etc
  • IIT KGP offers the Boeing Project wherein a team of 5 fabricates all parts of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). On clearing the selection procedure, you will also be offered a scholarship of about 10k per month for an entire year.
  • I am not gonna mention any of the institutional activities (clubs, societies, fests etc.)because I reckon the scenario will be pretty much the same in all the aforementioned colleges.

IIT Kharagpur: Cons 

  • It’s not easily accessible to students from Western and Southern States.
  • Kharagpur is a town and lacks many amenities apart from its large railway station.
  • Mess food is not good at all
  • The huge campus delays the time taken to reach the academic area.
  • The core companies only select the best students and a major portion of the batch has to go for non-core placements.
  • Aerospace Engineering in India has very few job prospects though we expect the scenario to improve a bit 
  • You can also apply for off-campus placements at DRDO or ISRO.

Judging a branch solely on the basis of placements is misleading. Yet, most students end up with decent jobs. The best part is that the course curriculum of aerospace engineering is intriguing and keeps you hooked.

What is the course structure for M.Tech CSE in IIT Bombay/Delhi/Kanpur?

PG
Pratik Gandhi Posted On : March 20th, 2023
B.Tech. CSE, IIT Bombay

MTech CSE in IIT Bombay, Delhi, and Kanpur comprises 4 semesters. The first and second are usually more hectic than the third and fourth mainly because 3 and 4 semesters just have practical work.

  • Semester 1: This semester has the most theoretical course. A student usually has 5 subjects of theory with 1 or 2 practical subjects,
  • Semester 2: The course curriculum is almost the same as that of semester 1 except that you can choose optional subjects depending on your interests. The 2nd semester is concluded with the viva of the entire theoretical course. In some branches, the viva takes place in the 3rd semester.
  • Semester 3: Towards the end of the previous semester, you are required to choose your guide. You can make an informed decision after checking the Professor's research work and matching it with your inclinations. In the 3rd semester, the project work commenced and you are required to select a title your research work will be based on. This semester is less hectic in comparison to the previous semesters as there is no theory and all you have to do is focus on your project work. In fact, I have seen people engaging in extracurricular activities during this semester.
  • Semester 4: This semester witnessed the placement seasons. Students are required to revise their theories and work on their respective projects. The questions asked by the panelists are usually related to your project work so it’s advisable to complete the project thesis.

Studied at IIT Kanpur
IIT Kanpur and IIT Bombay are the top 2 IITs in India with IIT Kanpur giving an edge to IIT Bombay. The only aspect of IIT Bombay that is better than IIT Kanpur is its metropolitan location. In almost every other aspect, IIT Kanpur is way ahead.

  • After IITKGP, IIT Kanpur has the biggest campus in India, approximately 1100 Acres. IIT Bombay on the other hand is half the size of IIT Kanpur around 560 Acres.
  • IIT Kanpur is the only institute in India to have its own Airstrip, Hangar, Glider pilot licensing system, and National Wind Tunnel Facility.
  • The huge Open Air Theatre has the capacity to accommodate 3000 people at a time.
  • World-class sports facilities.
  • The problems of the students are catered to by the largest counseling service.

IIT Kanpur and IIT Bombay are not even comparable given the advantages IIT Kanpur has over IITB.

Why is CSE at IIT Bombay the better option over CSE at IIT Kanpur?

AG
Aman Goenka Posted On : March 17th, 2023
B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IITB) (Graduated 2017)

When choosing between IIT Bombay and IIT Kanour for CSE, you must decide to go with IIT Bombay for the following reasons:

  • There are many students from Kanpur and near Kanpur who choose IIT Bombay because they want to live independently, and develop their personality.
  • Kanpur is not as developed as Mumbai, and choosing Kanpur will slow down your progress significantly in some or the other way.
  • IIT Bombay is a natural choice for top JEE rankers and if you speak to the seniors or alumni, everyone else will suggest that too. 
  • Comparing institutes is not a good idea, but comparing cities is important since you'll be spending about 4 years there. 
  • IIT Bombay has better placements, infrastructure, environment as well as faculties. 


Therefore, CSE at IIT Bombay is the better option over CSE at IIT Kanpur.
