Should I choose 5 years (I.T. + robotics) at IIIT Allahabad or 5 years CSE at IIEST Shibpur?
There’s no doubts about the fact that 5 years at IIITA is a smarter option compared to anything else. This is because of the simple calculation that you are going to study the same curriculum for 4 years BTech for 3 years. That is all about the core of CS and IT. One core and two electives are a part of the fourth year in a 4-year BTech program, which hardly makes any difference.
According to the experts, Robotics is the future of the IT industry and hence, finding yourself in the midst of such an academically enriching atmosphere which ensures a full time access to a premium robotics laboratory and esteemed faculty will certainly do good to you in more ways than you can ever imagine. That’s the kind of right exposure you are looking at.
Moreover, this department at IIIT Allahabad is being funded by MHRD, thus having a lot of helpful and positive influence from the big academic and administrative circles from all over the country. A number of international conferences sponsored by IEEE are held here regularly. A DST funded summer school of robotics is also a part of this institute. IIIT Allahabad is known to have multiple MOUs with various popular foreign universities and has extensive student exchange programs to give the best exposure of the industry and experts to its students.
What are my career prospects after doing an M.Tech course in environmental engineering from IIEST Shibpur?
For an MTech in Environmental Engineering, the best option will be to attempt GRE or IELTS and pursuing a Ph.D. abroad.
There are several research job opportunities for Environmental Engineering students in India but these jobs do not pay well. The reason behind this is the Govt. has not taken initiative to improve in this field. Which is not the case abroad.
If your only alternatives are institutes like NIT Durgapur, it will be better to go for IIEST Shibpur. Pursue a B.E. in Civil Engineering and after that do your MTech in Environmental Engineering. You will get way better research exposure at IIEST Shibpur.
How much are the placements expected to increase in IIEST Shibpur in 4 years from now?
Nowadays the colleges which are providing good campus placements with high salary packages are ranked higher than the colleges which are providing quality education. Colleges like VIT/BIT provide good campus placements but impose less focus on academics. They have hired placement officers who try to contact all types of recruiters through social network sites and then invite them for campus placements.
Colleges like IISC Bangalore are considered as the best institute of Engineering even better than top IITs, not because of campus placements or providing higher compensation. It earned that reputation by providing quality education.
Placements nowadays are purely based on good networking with big corporations and recruiters and making them happy. This can only be done by the placement cell of the colleges. However, IIEST Shibpur is an institution that still only relies upon the quality of education that is imparted to students.
Marketing has become an important aspect for the colleges. The colleges not only have to promote the college but they will have to market the students as well in order to get them good placements.
IIEST being a good quality institution has developed world leaders in engineering background. But it will also need to improve its marketing and networking strategies in order to provide better placements in the market. In the next 4 years competition will be fierce in the campus placements and the colleges will have to do the same in order to survive in the market.
Also, another fact that’s worth mentioning is that IIEST Shibpur is considered as an ‘Indian Institute’ and ‘Institute of National Importance’ now, for its contribution to the Engineering field of over 160 years. With this stature, placements are likely to improve as reputed IITs or NITs.
How is the internet speed in IIEST Shibpur?
The internet speed of the Wi-Fi is pretty good at the hostels. The LAN connection goes into the Wi-Fi router, which is strategically located in the hostel campus.
- It is a gigabit fiber connection that can give a speed up to 1Gbps if connected as an Ethernet cable.
- The Wi-Fi speed is dependent on the closeness of the room to the Wi-Fi router and the time of the day.
- If your room is closer to the router than in the non-peak hours (after 3 AM in the night till morning and during classes when there are very few students in the hostel) you can expect a speed of 4 Mbps – 5 Mbps (with an 802.11n or 2.4GHz Wi-Fi driver) and a speed of 8 Mbps – 10 Mbps (with an 802.11ac or 5GHz Wi-Fi driver).
- During peak hours when many students are connected simultaneously you can expect an average speed of 2 Mbps – 3 Mbps.
So the Wi-Fi speed you will receive is really good at IIEST Shibpur. Being a student here, I can assure you that internet speed was never a major problem.
