General Interview Questions are as follows.
My friend gave a virtual interview via Skype and a telephonic interview. There is not much of a difference.
Yes, Aligarh Muslim University is way better than private universities such as VIT, SRM, Manipal, and Thapar for B.Tech. AMU is a central university and is widely recognized. Many times students prefer AMU prefer NITs.
It has international-level infrastructure and a great faculty base. Many professors from CS and Electronics branches are past employees of top MNCs like Microsoft, CISCO, etc. The placements are pretty good for B.Tech. AMU B.Tech placements 2021 had an average CTC of INR 5.62 LPA.
The industrial exposure is less compared to the other institutes. But as AMU is located in the vicinity of NCR, the location advantage makes up for it.
When you think of a good university, you need a good faculty, placement, and recognition of the college that you graduate from as your degree should carry value. Lovely Professional University has all those factors.
Another great plus point that LPU has is its 100% placement goal. So many reputed companies and brands like TISCO, Mahindra, Dell, Cognizant, Microsoft, Samsung come to the university to recruit students.
It depends on your future goals and interests. If you want to pursue a job afterward then CSE will be the best branch for you. It will give you better opportunities than any other branch. You can choose Mechanical if you are interested in the automobile sector. If you are interested in robotics then the ECE branch would be a better option for you.
The CSE branch is good at Amrita University because the college has various types of technical groups like FOSS. This group is dedicated to creating open-source projects and completing various technical projects like Google's summer code. There are a large number of selects for this kind of project as well. If you are interested in security systems then this college has got the number 1 CTF team. If you are interested in programming then there is a dedicated programming group as well. There are a large number of competitions held in these groups. These groups will strengthen your core skills. The faculties of the CSE branch are also quite experienced and cooperative.
Banasthali University is a better option for pursuing a B.Tech. It is especially good for branches related to Computer Science. Most of the faculty members are well-experienced. The curriculum is such that you will mostly get surface-level knowledge. If you want to learn a subject in detail, then you will need to self-study.
The placements are good. The recent highlights of Banasthali University placement show the average and highest CTC to be INR 3.60 LPA, and INR 5.20 LPA, respectively.
