Questions Asked On Nirma University, Ahmedabad

What is essentially wrong with Nirma University and how could those things be changed?

B.Tech Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering, Institute Of Technology, Nirma University

One of my friends, who is working in Cognizant, has studied Electronics & Communication Engineering at Nirma University. As per her insights, the following are the things essentially wrong with the University.

  • If you are pursuing ECE and inclined towards programming, it is problematic.
  • There are companies like Motorola, ARM, STM, and others with 7.5 points as cut-off criteria. Even if you miss the cut-off by a margin, yet you cannot sit for interviews in these companies.
  • Some of the faculty is discouraging. They focus on bookish knowledge and are not open to new ideas. It is more like a school than a college.
  • Most top-scoring students are believed to be Idols, and the average scorers do not get any spotlight.
  • The labs are well-equipped, but most of the instruments do not work. Practical teaching is like spoon-feeding.
  • Attendance is given utmost importance on the campus. You will find students worrying more about attendance than academics.
  • You cannot afford to become a defaulter as there are consequences for it. The minimum attendance should be 85%.

Overall, the only way all this can go smoothly is to change the mentality by focusing on why and what to learn, future benefits, and practical approaches.

Arpit Rane Posted On : May 4th, 2022

NMIMS is the best option among these. The strategic location, excellent placement, and brand value put NMIMS ahead of the other institute mentioned in the question. 

NMIMS is located at the financial hub of Mumbai. The campus is just an hour or an hour and a half drive away from commercial and industrial spaces like Bandra Kurla Complex, Navi Mumbai, South Bombay, etc. Due to the locational advantage students can easily attend industrial visits of reputed organizations like TOI, Pepsico, JPMC, etc.

Which college is best for doing master's in structural engineering? CEPT university, Nirma or SVNIT Surat?

TS
Trisha Sharma Posted On : July 29th, 2021
Studied at Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology, Surat

SVNIT is theoretical research-based while CEPT is more practice-oriented. If you are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. further or if you would like to get placed on-campus, then SVNIT is your place.

After matching your requirements focus on excelling at GATE to get structural engineering getting into structural engineering at SVNIT.

If you choose CEPT then you will have to work hard to get a job. It is well known in all of Asia and has one of the best civil engineers. The faculty is highly qualified, its alumni are working in MNCs and most of them get annual trips abroad.

Lastly, if you are not from Ahmedabad you will have to stay at the CEPT hostel which is an awesome place to stay, as you will see for yourself if you so choose to be.

Be mindful of the fees because both SVNIT and Nirma charge more about the quality they provide.

What are the approximate hostel charges for first year students at hostels near Nirma University?

AG
Aritra Ghose Posted On : May 17th, 2021
B.Tech CSE, Nirma University

I have a friend studying at Nirma University and he gave some information about the hostel accommodation near the institute. If you are planning to be in a hostel there are a few near the university.

Hiramani hostel:

  • The hostel fees are around 50000 to 80000. It depends on which type of room and no of persons in a room.
  • Almost everything is included in the fee. You get food but for that, you have to pay and the food is not up to mark. My friend stayed in the hostel and he used to take breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Nirma. NIM canteen provides good food options. It will cost 70rs. For lunch and dinner.
  • So, if you live in Hiramani you will have to spend approximately 200 Rs daily on food, which sums up to 6000 per month. 

Nirma Hostel: 

  • As per the schedule, you will be staying for 8-9 months in the hostel and the rest of the time at home. Food cost is around 54000. And total fees if you live in AC 2 sharing room is 65000+54000 = 119000.
  • The rooms are great and there are fewer rules. 

SGVP:

  • At SGVP, you will have to follow many rules, like waking up at 5:00 am, which is tough for engineering students.
  • Fees: 80000 ac per sem
  • It includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner but there are no laundry facilities. The rooms are good. Food facilities are also decent. 

There are many other options too, like Sandipini, but my friend claims Hiramani is best.
