It may sound a bit philosophical, but it is the truth. A department is never the worst or best, it is the student who can be termed as such.
These departments can not compete against each other because only when each one of them works as a team, an invention is born. When five fingers of your hand work together, only then can you achieve something. Even in terms of monetary funding, one can not assess a department. If one’s project is worthy of recognition and funding, one will get it. For this, the department can not be held responsible.
Each department of SVNIT will provide you with a wonderful platform, but the results will have to come from your side.
