Sautrik Roy Posted On : September 14th, 2020
Studied at Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur

Being one of the oldest engineering colleges in India, IIEST Shibpur is known for its legendary status, well-equipped campus, and a thorough specialization across more than 48 courses. HITK on the other hand is a private autonomous college with a Grade B++ NAAC Accreditation, approved by AICTE, and offers 25 programs across 2 streams.

We can compare the two institutions based on the following factors:

  • Ranking: IIEST Shibpur is ranked at 19 by NIRF under engineering institutes in India whereas HITK Kolkata has been ranked at the 150th position by NIRF under the same category.
  • Courses: IIEST Shibpur offers 48 courses in 5 streams with 29 specializations and also offers programs in Management, Architecture, Science, IT, and software. HITK offers a total of 15 courses in Information Technology and Engineering across BTech, MTech, and MCA degree programs with about 8 specializations for undergraduate BTech degree students.
  • Infrastructure: The campus at IIEST Shibpur is well structured with classrooms, laboratories, research labs, a library, high-speed internet across the campus, a sports complex, and 17 hostel buildings. HITK has a top infrastructure with fully air-conditioned classrooms, a 20,000 square feet library, sports complex, hostels, and an auditorium.
  • Placement Services: In terms of placements, IIEST observes nearly 90+ companies and offers an average median salary of 6.5 LPA with the highest salary package being 39.12 LPA. It sees top companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Deloitte, and more for recruitments. HITK offers an average median salary of 3.4 LPA and does not see many core companies for recruitments. Some of the top companies for placements are TCS, Apollo Paints, HDFC Bank, and IBM.

Based on ranking, campus and placement services students who are looking to join an undergraduate or graduate degree program in Engineering can make their choice accordingly. Both the colleges offer detailed course modules but if your JEE scores are good, it will be comparatively better to opt for IIEST Shibpur.

Which is better for CSE, NIT Warangal or Surathkal?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : August 18th, 2023

In my opinion, if you are getting a top NIT, then choosing CSE will be a better decision unless you are interested in any other specific branch. As far as comparing the CSE branch in Warangal and Surathkal, both offer similar opportunities and academic experience. 

Given all the similarities, choosing one between these two NITs depends more on your personal choices such as proximity to home and crowd. If you are from the home state of Karnataka choose Surathkal but if you are from the home state of Warangal, choose NIT Warangal.

I would recommend you to go for NIT Warangal as it has better opportunities if you are inclined towards research. The alumni base is huge and there is even an innovation garage where the ideas of students are implemented.

Which one is better for CSE, MITS Gwalior or LNCT Bhopal?

MM
Mahima Malhotra Posted On : September 28th, 2021
B.E. Information Technology,Lakshmi Narain College of Technology,Bhopal (2015)

All of the colleges that you have mentioned are great institutes. But it would be suggested that you opt for LNCT Bhopal. 

It offers more opportunities to the students and initiates programs to help students enhance their skills. The faculty here is well-experienced and very cooperative. Although there is a pressure of maintaining 75% attendance, it all works out for the benefit of the students. 

If you do not have a better option other than LNCT Bhopal, then you should opt for it.

Is an ECE/EE in Haldia Institute of Technology or an ME in Techno India Salt lake?

SN
Sahini Naskar Posted On : September 15th, 2021
B.Tech Electrical Engineering ,Haldia Institute of Technology

The Haldia Institute of Technology is a well-reputed institute in West Bengal. Given the choice, you should go for it. They have a great faculty base. The placement opportunities provided to the students are also good. Core companies such as Johnson control visit the campus placement to recruit from ECE. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at the institute is 3.5 LPA.

The electrical department has not been doing well in some years now, therefore, it would be advisable to not go for this. 

Between Techno and HIT the latter is definitely better. HIT is one of the oldest and finest colleges in West Bengal.

Is IIM Ahmedabad better than IIM Bangalore and Calcutta?

SN
Sagar Namdev Posted On : May 30th, 2023

Yes, IIM Ahmedabad is certainly better than IIM Bangalore and IIM Calcutta. Here are a few points to prove the same 

  • IIM Ahmedabad is situated in an alcohol-deprived state called Gujarat and students face lesser distractions while IIM Bangalore is in the pub capital, and IIM Calcutta is in the city of ITC.
  • The nearest airport to IIM Ahmedabad is just 30 minutes away thus providing great connectivity while the nearest airport to IIM Bangalore is 2 hours away and to IIM Calcutta is 1 hour away. 
  • IIM Ahmedabad has a small and cozy 67-acre campus, with a beautifully maintained lawn while IIM Bangalore has a massive 100-acre campus and IIM Calcutta has a 135-acre campus, situated in the midst of a forest. 

Placements-wise, I deem all the IIMs to be somewhat similar with the same companies offering similar roles and packages to their students. 

It can thus be concluded that IIM Ahmedabad is better than IIM Bangalore or IIM Calcutta.

DTU vs NSIT: Which one should I choose for mechanical engineering?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 6th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

Both DTU and NSIT are great options for engineering aspirants with good ranks who are unable to make it into IITs. These 2 institutes are at the same level as top NITs, BITS, and IIT Guwahati. Comparing DTU and NSIT, the following points can be considered

  • Branch: NSIT is slightly better than DTU in software branches like COE/IT and even ECE whereas DTU excels in core branches like Mechanical, Electrical, and Civil. 
  • Infrastructure: Infrastructure-wise, DU is the clear winner with its 160-acre beautifully designed campus and top-notch facilities. Although NSIT has TI labs for ECE students, the overall campus facilities speak in favor of DTU. 
  • College Life: Campus life is better at DTU because of the relaxation of rules and a laid-back environment. NSIT has strict rules and students have to worry about attendance.
  • Mechanical Engineering: DTU Mechanical Engineering is an excellent choice because of its age-old legacy. The department excels in all aspects be it infrastructure, labs, faculty, facilities, reputation, and placements. The branch can be easily compared with the ME branches of IITs and BITS in terms of placements and education. A number of societies like ASME, and SAE will harness your passion for the branch. 

DTU is an excellent choice if you are genuinely interested in Mechanical Engineering.

Which is better for M.Sc in environmental science DU or JNU?

VG
Vedant Gautam Posted On : October 12th, 2022
Lived in New Delhi

Both Delhi University and Jawahar Lal Nehru University offer Master's degrees in Environmental Sciences. However, there is a difference in the degree offered, which is primarily due to the approach to the subject. Candidates will be enrolled in the Masters of Environmental Studies programme at Delhi University, while the Environmental Sciences programme at JNU.

The distinction is due to the approach taken in developing the curriculum. Students at Delhi University are taught the socio-economical aspects of environmental sciences in addition to developing an understanding of the subject in the context of physicochemical and biological aspects of the environment (and their interactions). Subjects taught include "social perspectives of environmental studies" and "environmental economics." There is also a Masters in Arts (MA) programme for students with a background in the humanities.

The emphasis at Delhi University is on environmental ecology, pollution sciences, and biotechnology. Remote sensing, conservation sciences, statistics, geology, and environmental impact assessment are among the subjects taught. I believe the emphasis at JNU is more on the scientific aspect of the subject (which somehow seems legitimate since the degree is being offered for Masters in Science). Furthermore, 70-80% of the curriculum is shared by both universities. Though the JNU syllabus is extensive in terms of subjects such as hydrology and the fundamental principles/technical aspects of water and pollution movement.

Which is better, NIFT or FDDI?

PL
Prakriti Lalwani Posted On : January 20th, 2022
B. Des from Footwear Design and Development Institute, Noida (2023)

According to the reviews online, both are the top fashion institutes in India. They both come under the Government of India where NIFT comes under the Ministry of Textiles and FDDI comes under Ministry of Commerce and Industry. Also both institutes are accredited as INI (Institute Of National Importance).

If we compare overall, NIFT is much better than FDDI. FDDI Noida is only the best campus compared to other branches whereas NIFT has 5 campuses (Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai), all of them are at par to other fashion institutes in terms of infrastructure, studies, placements, extra-curricular activities, etc.

If you have a preference of a particular course like for Footwear Technology, Retail Management or Retail Merchandising it is suggested that you go for FDDI. But if you want to do B.Des or Fashion Design, Fashion Communication, etc. so for them NIFT is the best option.

Both institutions have tie ups with many reputed retail companies. So, placement in a reputed company is guaranteed at the very beginning of your career. So choose the institute according to the course you want to pursue.

What should be the preference among UIT RGPV, SATI Vidisha and INCT?

RG
Rishav Gupta Posted On : October 26th, 2021
B.E. Computer Science, Samrat Ashok Technological Institute, Vidisha (2020)

UIT RGPV and LNCT both are better than SATI Vidisha. Following are the reasons why:

  • Being a government institute, there is no pressure on attendance, assignments, and projects in UIT RGPV. Many reputed companies visit for campus placements. As per the recent highlights the average CTC offered was 4 LPA. If you want to pursue higher studies or want to get into PSUs through GATE, then choose UIT RGPV. 
  • LNCT is a private institute and it is very strict regarding attendance, assignments, etc. Many students complain that rules and regulations at LNCT are a bit like school. 
  • Placement in LNCT is best in the Bhopal region. In the last placement drive, the highest CTC offered at LNCT was 27 LPA. More than 400 companies visited the campus in the first year of the placement drive. There were many IT companies among the recruiters. If you are interested in joining the IT sector, go for LNCT.

I have a few friends from SATI Vidisha and they advise against joining the institute.

Which is better, a B.Tech. in CSE from MANIT Bhopal or from BIT Mesra?

RK
Rashika Kejriwal Posted On : April 15th, 2021
Graduated in Mechanical Engineering at NIT-B(MANIT) 2019

Both of these two colleges are tier-1 colleges. You can’t go wrong with either of them. One of my relatives who used to be a student of MANIT Bhopal speaks highly of the institution. According to her, you should prefer MANIT Bhopal to any other institution any day including BIT Mesra too.

Don’t take an educational loan to go to BIT Mesra, if you are getting MANIT Bhopal CSE. You can easily get an income-based scholarship at MANIT Bhopal. 

At MANIT placement percentage as well as the highest package, both are pretty high. At MANIT Bhopal, the placement percentage goes as high as 98% and the highest package offered this year was around 42 LPA. 

Hance, MANIT Bhopal is definitely is a better alternative.
