What would be my chances of getting NIT Trichy computer science if my total in the JEE Mains 2021 is 212?
NIT Trichy is considered one of the best NITs, especially for computer science. The cutoff for the CSE branch at NIT Trichy closes around 634 for OS General and 4358 for HS General, according to 2020 trends. Considering your marks the expected rank will be around 3500. As per previous years, admission stats and cutoff getting CSE with 212 marks will be difficult.
It also depends on factors like whether you are eligible for the home state advantage or not. Students also get an advantage based on their caste as a certain percentage of seats are kept reserved for them. If you belong to the SC, ST, or OBC category quota then you may get computer science. To be on the safer side a score of 280+ is sufficient to get computer science in NIT Trichy.
With 212 marks you will definitely get a chance in CSE at comparatively newer NITs such as Durgapur, Jamshedpur, Patna etc.
How is IIT Ropar?
I am a student at IIT Ropar and thus I am qualified to answer this question-
- Location- Ropar is just an hour’s drive from Chandigarh. It is well-connected to major cities like Jalandhar, Shimla, Delhi, and Chandigarh. The Tricity area is
quite developed and Mohali has its international airport. Ropar itself is a very calm and peaceful city. The campus is located at the foothills of Shivalik on the banks of the Sutlej River.
- Academics- The academics at IIT Ropar is at par with the old IITs, but it has been designed by experts to lay greater emphasis on practical learning and labs than the old IITs. One of the major highlights of the IIT Ropar curriculum is the provision of allowing Minors, Honors or Concentration alongside the main B.Tech degree. This provision is not present in the old IITs. An example is that you can do a B.Tech in Mechanical with a Minor in CS.
- Faculty- The faculty at IIT Ropar is well qualified and the selection procedure is at par with the old IITs. The professors are alums of IITs and other institutions in the US. The teacher-student ratio is 1:10, which is quite good. IIT Ropar organizes workshops, guest lectures by experienced professors from prestigious institutions.
In terms of research citations, IIT Ropar ranks higher than most IITs, including the old ones.
- Placements- For 2023 B.Tech placements, the highest package stood at INR 55 LPA for CSE, 55 LPA for Electrical, and 42 LPA for Mechanical. Core companies visit less for placements in comparison to non core companies. Google, Amazon and Ericsson were the top recruiters for the 2023 B.Tech placements.
- Campus and Student Life- IIT Ropar now has its own permanent campus with state-of-the-art infrastructure. The Lecture Halls, Hostels (both boys and girls), Dining Hall, Utility Block, and Sports fields are all newly built. The campus is beautiful and spread across 500 acres. Student life is eventful and there are numerous clubs and societies through which you can enhance your personality.
I chose IIT Ropar Electrical branch over mediocre branches at old IITs and CSE at newer ones. I am quite happy with my decision and do not regret it in the least.
Why are you so pessimistic about Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow?
I have a friend who is a Jaipur Institute of Management, Lucknow alumni. His experience at the institute was not that great. Here are a few things that he found bothersome.
- Despite having a good faculty base, decent curriculum, and exposure Jaipur Institute of Management still is not counted among the tier 1 or tier 2 B-School. It still lacks reputation among students.
- There’s a lack of professionalism in the admission process. Admission interviews are done over Skype calls and even via Whatsapp.
- It is over 25 years old but still failed to create a reputation. They keep on increasing their fees but the placement statistics are somewhat stagnant with an average CTC of around 4-5 LPA.
- The foundation of Jaipuria is not that strong as other B-Schools like IMS, JIMS, Jaypee, Apeejay, EMPI, etc.
Jaipuria Institute of Management’s brand name won’t do much for your resume as it is not that well-reputed. These are probably some of the reasons why some people are skeptical about Jaipuria.
How do average middle class students who crack BITSAT manage to pay BITS Pilani's very large fee?
My cousin hailed from a middle-class family and cleared BITSAT in one go. His father somehow managed to pay the fees for the first semester.
After joining he approached the SBI stall and found out about the educational loans they were offering. Ever since then whenever he received a fee demand form, he submitted it to the bank that took care of his entire college fee including food and accommodation. He did not have to spend any money except for his personal expenses. The scholarships are given solely on the basis of merit here.
However, BITS Pilani fees face a hike every year so I don’t think the ROI of non-CS branches is worth being considered by middle-class families.
Which one is better (this includes- placements, faculty, students, and course structures) for an MTech (ISM): IIITM Gwalior or IGDTUW?
IIITM Gwalior is better for an MTech ISM. It has an active coding culture. Being an IT-oriented institute, it offers better technological exposure. It has a good placement record. According to the highlights of IIITM Gwalior placements 2022, students received an average CTC of INR 16.85 LPA. The highest CTC offered was INR 59.27 LPA.
IIITM G is lenient regarding attendance and academic schedule. So, it’s easier to follow interests outside the course-work.

How tough is it to pursue MBA from ISB Hyderabad?
It all depends on your interest, passion, inclination and aptitude. If you are really into it, it’ll be a fun ride. Studying 32 subjects in 50 weeks successfully looks a tough task. You will certainly need a bit of multitasking to help you. Many students often struggle with this because they only lack multi-tasking.
Especially if you are coming from a non-engineering background you might need to put in some extra work to get used to the overall culture of doing more work in short deadlines. For someone looking from the outside, it sure looks a lot.
Moreover, there is an endless competition among the students there to be on the top of various lists such as merit list, dean list, scholarship list to name a few. If you have been a topper throughout the academic year, it gets tougher for you since you compete with the best of the batch.
The entire overall experience at ISB will depend how much potential and patience you have within. If you have any previous professional/corporate experience before joining ISB, it will be quite an enjoyable journey for you. You should take this journey as a challenging learning curve of your life.

Which has better placements IIT or IISc?
Both IISc and IITs have great differences because of their varied purposes for establishments. ITs were established to provide the finest technical manpower for building the nation. IISc on the other hand was established by private bodies to conduct core research with a focus on advancing the scientific capabilities of the country. IITs delivers education related to BTech courses whereas IISc only focuses on MS or M.Tech (graduate). Placements in IISc and IITs are equally good.
The dynamic research culture leaves no desire for placements and after the first year, many students completely focus on research. I have many friends who completed MS and Ph.D. from IISc, joined the Software industry at great positions but then left the industry in two years to continue pure research again. Apart from that placements are far better and for better positions in IISc.
