I am a B.Tech first year CSE student from NIT Warangal. What are the best ways to utilise my summer holidays?
My friend is a third-year CSE student at NIT Warangal. These are his tips to enhance your programming skills during your summer holidays-
- Coursera is a big help for freshers in any field.
- Do not learn numerous programming languages . It is futile to learn so many syntaxes and programming languages unless you know how to use them.
- Start competitive programming . Competitive programming is an excellent way to polish your programming skills. It is also a great exercise to set your logic in motion. For now, spend time on Codechef/ Topcoder/ Codeforces. For a fresher, Codechef is the best platform. Get into competitive programming before the start of your second year. This will also help you tremendously for the Data Structures & Algorithms course in your second year.
- Internships are easy to grab with the right skills and knowledge. So don’t worry about internships for now.
- You can start open-source contribution later on, if interested. But don’t do it just to be called an “open-source programmer/ contributor”.
- Use the internet as much as possible to enhance your knowledge and skills.
These tips are useful for CSE freshers from all colleges and universities, and not just NIT Warangal.
Which one is better: NIT Rourkela or NIT Warangal?
According to the reviews online, NIT Warangal is much better than NIT Rourkela. It is among the top 3 NITs in India. Warangal has the best CSE and ECE departments. They have a 100% placement record.
NIT Rourkela is also good but not in the same league as Warangal. NIT Rourkela has increased in popularity in recent years and is currently in the league of NIT Allahabad, Jaipur or Calicut. Its main disadvantage is its location and extremely strict attendance rules. But the infrastructure of NIT Rourkela is getting better each day. Due to its location some of the top recruiters do not prefer visiting the college.
The most important thing that makes NIT Warangal better than Rourkela is its moderate course fees and the brilliant placement record.
| Categories | NIT Rourkela | NIT Warangal |
| Course Fee | INR 6.4 lakh | INR 5 lakh |
| Placement Percentage | 70-85% | 95-100% |
| Highest CTC | 21 LPA | 28 LPA |
| Average CTC | 6.3 - 7 LPA | 15 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Pepsico, TCS, Wipro, Infosys, etc. | Tech Mahindra, KPMG, Goldman Sachs, TCS, etc. |
Thus, choosing NIT Warangal seems to be a better option than going for NIT Rourkela.
What is the class schedule for an M.Tech in NIT Warangal?
For 1st year M.Tech students at NIT Warangal, classes are held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday. There are no classes on Saturday. You will get a lunch break of two hours, from 12 noon to 2 p.m. The classes are of 1 hour each, so there are 7 slots- from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and then from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. The morning slots are filled with theoretical classes. For any 3 days a week, you will have 2 labs and 1 seminar (one among them for a single day), for a 3-hour duration. These are scheduled in the afternoon slots. On the remaining 2 days when you have no labs or seminars, you will mostly have 1 or 2 theory classes in the afternoon slots. The chances are low, but you might also have no classes in these slots.
There are no classes during the 2nd year. So you have all the time to complete your M.Tech thesis. But you need to regularly update your guide on your progress. You may occasionally be asked to take the labs of your M.Tech juniors or the B.Tech students.
The most important thing is that you have to sign on the department register before a set time each day, during the weekdays. This is to give your attendance for the day. You will have to do this for both years in order to receive stipends.
This is the complete class schedule for an M.Tech at NIT Warangal.

How is NIT Surathkal and Warangal placements for Civil Engineering?
Civil is about learning and getting skills rather than getting placed with good packages. India is in desperate need of qualified civil engineers. Not every Civil Engineering graduate is skilled enough and yet is employed as an engineer leading to failure of structure and accidents. So your primary goal is to be knowledgeable and skilled rather than running after placements. There is also a huge scope of research outside India. Here are the placement statistics of the Civil Engineering branch of NIT Surathkal

Placement Percentage |
74.44% |

Median CTC |
INR 12 LPA |
Ultimately, bear in mind that you won’t be earning much initially as a civil engineer but with the passage of time you will earn a lot in terms of money and respect both.

What should I choose: IIT Roorkee metallurgy or NIT Warangal/Trichy CSE?
IIT Roorkee, NIT Trichy, and NIT Warangal are well-established institutes in India. The scope of metallurgy is comparatively lower than that of CSE. IIT Roorkee mainly concentrates on textual learning and does not give the students exposure to practical learning. They are using the practice of mugging up the lessons without having a clear understanding of the topic. The placement is very poor here; the students from the metallurgy department usually end up in data analytics and coding.
So CSE at NIT Warangal and Trichy would be a better choice.
