Should I join NITIE or IIM Indore?

AM
Abinash Mishra Posted On : May 13th, 2022
MBA from National Institute of Industrial Engineering (2019)

You should join NITIE. Although it is mostly known for Supply Chain and Operations, it offers good opportunities in other industries as well. NITIE placements trends reveal that recruiters from FMCGs, BFSI, consulting sector, and IT/E-commerce also visit the campus placements. So, you will have better chances of landing a job in a leading company. According to the placements highlights of 2022, the average CTC for NITIE stood around INR 25 LPA. 

IIM Indore has a huge batch size. While the batch size of NITIE is concise, students get the required attention from teachers. The location of NITIE is also favorable. Doing an MBA from Mumbai will definitely help you get good internship and placement opportunities.

Which is better, CUSAT or CET?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : August 7th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

CUSAT is your best bet if you are willing to pursue a Masters's or PG.

CUSAT has the freedom to design the curriculum for its students that suits their needs perfectly and imparts quality education. It has highly experienced professors who are keen to train the students and don’t just teach for the sake of completing the syllabus. CET on the other hand follows the KTU syllabus, one of the most average institutes of Kerala so the quality of education is sacrificed a lot.

In CET, professors sometimes are just transferred by the government, which never is the case with CUSAT. Additionally, CUSAT received huge funds from the government to support its large-scale research projects.

Ultimately, CUSAT is a better choice than CET for Masters while CET is a better option for Bachelor.

Which is better, VNIT for metallurgy or NIT Raipur for IT?

KM
Kaushal Madnani Posted On : April 15th, 2021
VNIT, Graduated 2019

One of my acquaintances who has graduated from VNIT has asked me to choose my institute by keeping the following points in mind.

  • VNIT for metallurgy would be a suitable choice for you if you don’t have a particular liking. Apart from that, the metallurgy of VNIT holds an enviable position in India. The syllabus for metallurgy is vast and involves a lot of memorization.
  • If you want CS and unfortunately end up not getting it, the next logical step would be to choose IT. The syllabus of IT and CS are almost the same. In the big picture, it will have little importance if you complete your B.Tech from VNIT or NIT Raipur. You will have a degree and you will not regret the decision you made.

IT has a lot of scopes. Later down the road, if you want to continue with your higher studies, you will be capable of switching to almost any department pertaining to computers. IT from NIT Raipur is an excellent choice.

The scope in the metallurgy sector is limited nowadays. It is obviously your call, though. There is vast scope in IT like research, job, etc.

Should I consider leaving Delhi University for B. R. Ambedkar University, Delhi?

AS
Arnab Singh Posted On : January 18th, 2022
MA English from Ambedkar University Delhi (2018)

It depends on the college you are getting admission under Delhi University. If you are able to get into one of the top colleges in the North or South campus of Delhi University, you should stick with it. Otherwise, choosing AUD over DU will be better. One other thing that you should consider while making the choice is your ultimate goal, i.e. research/job. You should definitely choose AUD if you are interested in pursuing research.

Which is best to join new iim or nmims mumbai core?

DR
Divyanshu Ranjan Posted On : February 23rd, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Sambalpur (Graduated 2020)

While many may not agree, the new IIMs are far better than NMIMS. People prefer NMIMS mainly because of its location and legacy. If you come out of that criteria then you realize that the new IIMs are much more. I have compared the new IIMs with NMIMS on the basis of a few aspects.

  • Strength: The increasing batch size is a major problem in NMIMS as it directly affects placements. The best companies hire only 3-4 students. Thus almost half the batch is placed in mediocre companies with average roles. New IIMs, on the other hand, have a very small batch size and therefore there is equality in placements 
  • NMIMS: NMIMS MBA fees is much more than the new IIMS. Also, the accommodation costs are high and the ultimate ROI is not good at all.
  • Campus Life: The most crucial drawback that NMIMS faces is a lack of hostel life. There are zero recreational or sports activities. No playgrounds or sports facilities are available. The new IIMs are excellent in this aspect with world-class facilities both in terms of education and recreation.
  • Placements: NMIMS placements are o n level with IIM Ranchi, the oldest among the new IIMs. Trichy and Kashipur are almost reaching that level too.

So the new IIMs are far better in terms of brand, faculty, and even ROI.

Which one is better: DTU, NSIT or IIIT Delhi?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : July 7th, 2023

All the colleges you mentioned; NSIT, DTU, and IIIT Delhi are run by the NCT government and have similar opportunities and brand value. The choice of the institute here depends more on personal factors than the institute itself.

NSIT

  • NSIT is located in Dwarka. 
  • It functions under DU and offers a 4-year course for a bachelor of engineering. 
  • NSIT is an excellent choice for those who want to get IT-related branches like CSE, IT, and ECE. 
  • Most departments are at par with DTU departments 

DTU

  • DTU is a highly regarded technical institute offering superior quality BTech courses
  • This institute is well-known for core branches like CIVIL, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering. 
  • The most reputed branch of DTU is Mechanical Engineering, often compared to IIT Delhi Mechanical Engineering.

IIIT Delhi

  • IIIT Delhi is the perfect destination for programming lovers
  • The CSE curriculum of IIIT Delhi is way better than that of DTU and NSIT.

So, it precisely depends on the kind of branch you want to get if it’s all about programming go for IIIT Delhi, if it’s CSE, IT, or ECE go for NSIT but if it’s core branches like Mechanical, Electrical, or civil engineering DTU is the best option.
