Which should I prefer, CSE at IIT Guwahati or electrical (5 years) at IIT Bombay?

AB
Advaith Bhaskar Posted On : May 6th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (2000–present)

I always find comparing two branches very illogical because the entire purpose of branches is to cater to the interests of different people. One stream might be good for you but not for the other and vice versa. 

An electrical engineer works with impressive technologies like microprocessors or communication systems. A computer engineer on the other hand achieves great things through his computer. It’s better to read about machine learning classification. 

Some students prefer judging colleges on the basis of the kind of environment they offer. Both IIT Bombay and IIT Guwahati have a great academic environment and offer excellent exposure. Both the colleges are good in all aspects like placements, location, and academics. Don’t follow the trends and standards set by society and follow what your heart says!

Is mathematics and computing branch is similar to CSE in IIT Delhi?

SG
Sushmita Gupta Posted On : April 10th, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

Mathematics and Computing (M&C) is a branch offered at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi and is quite similar to the CSE branch in the sense that both focus on the study of computer science and technology. However, it’s important to note that M&C is more inclined towards mathematics and its applications in computing, while CSE focuses more on the engineering aspects of computer science.

Both branches offer similar courses in programming, algorithms, data structures, and software development, but M&C additionally covers math-oriented topics like Differential Equations, Number Theory, Linear Optimization, Algebra, Calculus, etc.

There are a number of courses like Discrete Mathematical Structures taught at both departments but separately by professors of the respective departments. 

Both branches are the most coveted branches and all companies opening job profiles for one branch offer the same to the other branch because of the similar nature of the branches.

AS
Anamika Sinha Posted On : March 30th, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

The department of Biological Engineering at IIT Madras is located in the newly built building of the institute and thus has world-class infrastructure and facilities.

Despite mediocre placements, this placement is best suited for those keen to pursue this field sincerely and has some of the most learned professors in the institute. The well-structured curriculum of the department makes the students capable enough to avail higher study opportunities at foreign universities. The course also provides a semester exchange program.

Only a few core companies offer jobs in the biological department but students rarely go unplaced due to the abundant non-core job offers. You can get jobs in any sector of IT/Finance/Consultancy even if you belong to the Biological department. This is the best part of IITs. The job prospects are not limited to the branch and you can explore various sectors and opportunities are in plenty. So, this department is not a bad choice and can offer you the best opportunities.

What should I prefer: Mechanical Engineering at HBTI, Kanpur or CSE at IET, Lucknow?

AL
Ajay Lakhra Posted On : August 9th, 2021
Studied at Institute of Engineering and Technology, Lucknow

Both of the institutions are situated at a distance of 80 km from each other. IET Lucknow is situated in the industrial capital of Uttar Pradesh and the HBTI Kanpur is situated in the Political capital. If you live in one of the two cities, you can choose accordingly; otherwise, this factor has no significance.

  1. According to AKTU, both the institutes are ranked at number 1 and number 2 in UP, but the situation is completely different analytically. HBTI is a well-known institution and has been the parent institute of IIT Kanpur and Uttar Pradesh Textile Institute. 
  2. Both the institutes are government-run with complete control over examinations and the curriculum of courses offered by them.
  3. If you enjoy programming, Computer Science would be the appropriate course for you, while Mechanical Engineering is for those who want to acquire a genuine sense of what engineering is all about.
  4. The faculty of IET Lucknow is better than that of HBTI. 
  5. You will have numerous opportunities outside the campus. The placement statistics for the mechanical department are not very good at both institutes, but placement in the CS department is extremely good.

Make your decision based on the branch and not the institution as it would have a major impact on your career.

Can I get CSE at Thapar University with 127 marks in the Mains, general outside Punjab?

AR
Adarsh Roy Posted On : August 7th, 2023
Studied at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology

Yes, you can get CSE at Thapar University easily even if you don’t hail from Punjab. The reason is even with low marks students can get some other branch and then appear for the December Test to upgrade their branch to CSE. You need to be among the top 20 students to upgrade your branch to CSE.  Another option is to make sure you have a 9.7 CGPA or higher in the first year. This will increase your chances of upgrading your branch to CSE.

The subjects taught in the first to students of all branches are the same so you won’t lag behind in your branch. Also, the pattern and syllabus of the December test are exactly like JEE Mains so you don’t have to worry about preparing for it separately.

Hope this helped you!
