Which is better, BITS-Goa vs BIT Mesra?

AG
Asmita Ghosh Posted On : April 15th, 2021
Studied Electronics and Communication Engineering at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, Graduated 2019

A senior of mine from school is an alumnus of BITS Goa and he has all the respect for the institution. He has told me that BIT Mesra is a good place for someone who would like to pursue CSE, ECE. The placement is also pretty good there from what he has heard.

Coming to BITS Goa, it is a tier 1 Indian engineering institution. Most of the students from Indian engineering colleges practice computer programming for becoming computer engineers. There are packages of 5-50 LPA, depending on the skills of the applicants. These companies do not look for academic credentials. They are only interested in the GitHub and TopCoder profiles of the job applicants.

A lot of the BIT alumni end up being managers in industries, based on hard work and luck. The package would be around 5-15 LPA. Unlike in the previous case, these companies are heavily dependent on the academic credentials of the job applicants.

BIT Mesra is a 3 tier engineering institute. Most of the students who have completed their education from this institute end up working in working as employees in the IT companies that are service-based with packages of 3-4 LPA.

What is better: PGPM at IIM Trichy or Great lakes Institute of Management, Chennai?

PT
Pragya Tripathi Posted On : January 21st, 2023
Studied at Great Lakes Institute of Management (India)

IIM Trichy may be a good choice if you value the brand value of IIMs. However, Great Lakes Institute of Management (GL) outperforms IIM Trichy in several areas:

  1. The average CTC at GL is INR 17.86 LPA, while at IIM Trichy it is INR 17.01 LPA. However, the one-year program at GL allows students to enter the job market faster, mitigating the difference in CTC. In addition, the batch size at GL is larger and the highest CTC offered is higher than that at IIM Trichy every year.
  2. GL has a higher quality faculty compared to IIM Trichy and can only be compared to the top 5 institutes in India in terms of faculty.
  3. GL has a larger alumni base.
  4. Some companies, such as TCS, offer higher tier profiles to students at GL compared to those at IIM Trichy. Both institutes have a focus on IT placements, making this comparison significant.
  5. GL is recognized by AMBA, one of the three largest business school accreditation organizations, and is also a GMAT preferred school.
  6. The quality of students at GL is on par with IIM Trichy. The average CAT/XAT score at GL is 94%ile, with a cut-off around 90. The average percentile is likely to be higher than IIM Trichy as the cut-offs for reserved categories at IIMs are lower.

There are numerous comparisons where GL outperforms IIM Trichy. However, other B-schools such as JBIMS, MDI Gurgaon, and IIFT Delhi may also be considered over new IIMs.

Which is best: NIT Calicut, NIT Bhopal, NIT Jaipur, or NIT Rourkela?

VN
Vikas Shankar Nayak Posted On : August 27th, 2021
B.Tech computer science from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (2020)

Honestly, it totally depends on your choice. If you want as per placement rankings then NIT Calicut surely beats NIT Rourkela which in turn is better than NIT Jaipur and NIT Bhopal. As some of my friends studied at NIT Rourkela, I can assure you that the overall campus is improving very fast. Also they offer good placements.

  • Many famous companies are hiring a lot of students now. 
  • If you are seeking a good infrastructure, NIT Rourkela is the best of all NITs. 
  • For overall rankings, you can refer to MHRD, National Institute Ranking Framework (NIRF). 
  • Certain departments at NITR leave a lot to be desired, where Calicut has the edge. 
  • All is better than Bhopal and Jaipur in placements though. However, in terms of infrastructure, campus life, hostel life, sports facilities, the overall holistic development of an individual NIT Rourkela is a good option. 
Parameters NIT Calicut NIT Bhopal NIT Jaipur NIT Rourkela
Tuition Fee INR 16,000 INR 70,000 INR 1.6 LPA INR 7,500
Placement Percentage 73.5% 82% 73.22% 95%
Average Package INR 11.57 LPA INR 7.56 LPA INR 8.03 LPA INR 8.75

Placements cannot be the only judging factor. Remember that students from the best departments at all these campuses do land up getting good IT jobs with a decent salary package.

What should I choose between LHMC, UCMS, and RML?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : October 5th, 2023

The best college for you depends on your priorities and goals. First, you need to figure out what exactly you are expecting from your degree and college. My sister had similar options as yours and she was looking for a safe location and easy commute, offering decent social life and good societies. She analyzed the pros and cons of each of these colleges and even contacted the seniors of these colleges. Here is what she derived regarding each college

  • LHMC: The institute is famous for its prime location, brand name, and its safe all-girls environment. Its infrastructure has been renovated recently and its DU tag is very helpful. However, the patient load is less compared to other teaching hospitals in Delhi and if you live close by, you won't be given a hostel room either.
  • UCMS: Being a co-ed college, it offers better exposure, hostel facilities, infrastructure, and an amazing patient load. This college too is under the DU and has some amazing societies and fests. However, its primary drawback is its location which is often considered unsafe, especially for girls.
  • RML: Thistoo is co-ed and has a good location. It is considered to be the best medical college in Delhi after AIIMS and VMMC. Its IPU quota and newly established infrastructure are what sets it apart from the other two colleges. However, being new, it may be lacking in terms of reputation, alumni, and quality of fests. 

The academics are almost similar in these 3 colleges, so consider other pros and cons and make a wise choice.

Which college is better, BIT Patna or NIT Patna?

Namrata Das Posted On : August 29th, 2023

There is no ‘better’ college as every college has its strengths and weaknesses. That being said, here are some core points of difference between BIT Patn and NIT Patna. 

  • BIT Patna is a private engineering college whereas NIT is a Government college.
  • Being a private college, BT Patna has better infrastructure, hostels, and other facilities. NIT Patna on the other hand has a very tiny campus with limited facilities. 
  • NIT Patna students have free Wi-Fi access in the college block, whereas at BIT Patna students have access to a 24/7 wired network everywhere.
  • BIT Patna functions under the umbrella of the leading institute BIT Mesra and therefore has a high development rate while NIT Patna does not.
  • BIT Patna hostels have excellent sports facilities with many courts for outdoor games while NIT Patna only has a Lawn Tennis Court and a stadium with small ground.
  • Placements-wise NIT Patna is way ahead. Its average package this year stood at INR 14 LPA while while Patna's average package stood at INR 5.9 LPA. 
  • BIT Patna charges exorbitantly high fees around 2.95 Lakhs per year while NIT Patna fees for the same BTech program is 1.66 Lakhs 
  • The campus life is better at BIT Patna owing to the cultural and technical fests held round the year.

Ultimately, the better institute for you is the one that aligns with your priorities.

Which would be better college between Delhi Technological University (DTU) and IIIT Hyderabad (IIIT-H) on the following parameters 1) Teaching 2) Social Life 3) Placements

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : July 31st, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Let's consider the aforementioned parameters individually to draw a comparison between DTU and IIIT Hyderabad. 

Teaching and Faculty: Without any second thoughts, I would say IIIT Hyderabad is way ahead of DTU in terms of faculty. It has a very highly experienced faculty pool that is involved in cutting-edge research work.

Social Life: DTU is well-known for its dynamic college life that will give you amazing memories, opportunities, and friends. Here, students are given time for both academics as well as extracurriculars to ensure a vibrant campus life and holistic development of the students. IIIT Hyderabad has a very rigid and monotonous campus life as it's filled with nerds. 

Placements: Both the institutes have an equally good placement scenario despite the high difference in intake and number of branches. It's best to refer to official stats while comparing pavements and I have done that for you.

Particulars

IIIT Hyderabad

DTU

Number of recruiters

50+

403

Highest CTC

INR 74 LPA

INR 1.8 CPA

Average CTC

INR 32 LPA

INR 15.16 LPA

Top Recruiters

Bloomberg, Code Nation, Deloitte, Facebook, Google, HSBC, Indeed 

Samsung, Instabase, Atlassian, Sprinklr, Amazon, Alphonso, Salesforce, Microsoft, Adobe, etc

From the above table, it can be inferred that the placement scenario is equally good. Before you say that DTU has an average package that is lower than IIIT Hyderabad, consider the fact that it has multiple branches and a much higher intake than IIIT Hyderabad.

A parameter I would like to add on my own accord would be the ROI. Considering DTU’s low fees and equally good placements, it offers better ROI than IIIT Hyderabad 

Ultimately, go for IIIT Hyderabad if you are a crazy computer lover and don’t mind a boring college life. But if you want a happening college life and want to explore various fields, DTU is the one for you!
