Should I take aerospace at IIT Madras or CS at IIT Bhubaneswar?

A
Admin Posted On : June 21st, 2024

It is best to make a decision based on your own individual preferences and interests.

I also had the same dilemma and I chose Aerospace at IIT Madras over other departments due to following reasons:-

  • The curriculum is designed to provide a foundation course followed by a "core" aerospace course in each of these areas.
  • The course features two distinct design classes. One covered the principles of engineering design, while the other focused on aircraft design.
  • The faculty in the department is great.
  • IIT Bhubaneswar has a NIRF ranking 47th with IIT Madras at 1st.
  • The Average salary for IIT Bhubaneswar CSE Program is 25.15 LPA.
  • The Average package for IIT Madras Aerospace Engineering is 21 LPA.
  • JP Morgan Chase, Procter & Gamble, Morgan Stanley, and Texas Instruments are among the top firms that visit IIT Madras each year.

Which is better, go for IIEST Shibpur for civil or drop a year for an MBBS?

BG
Bhumi Goswami Posted On : April 12th, 2021
Studies at Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2018)

One of my friends was in the same situation last year. He got IIEST Shibpur Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, Mining Engineering, and Civil Engineering along with a rank of 1383 in West Bengal State Merit List of NEET for MBBS admission converted with a mark of 462. 

  • In West Bengal State counseling he received R Ahmed Dental College in the 3rd round. 
  • He refused the seat in KPC Medical College as he knew that his parents will not be able to pay his fees of 8 lakhs over 4.5 years. As he was not interested in Civil so he continued with Metallurgy and Materials Engineering.
  • During his 1st semester, he again started preparing for NEET but figured out later that the course pressure at IIEST Shibpur is too much and with so much to study for NEET, he was just falling apart. 
  • His CGPA was not good as it was only 8.67 and ultimately decided not to go for NEET as his father advised him to concentrate on IIEST and give up on his dreams of becoming a doctor. 
  • It came as a shock but later he realized that preparing for NEET all over again alongside maintaining a proper CGPA at IIEST is doing more harm than good to his career. 
  • He felt that he should have taken the drop in the beginning but he was not ready to take any risk and IIEST Shibpur being a renowned college he was not ready to leave it.

So, if you want to become a doctor and serve people and if it's the long-cherished dream of pursuing MBBS then you should leave IIEST and better prepare for NEET again. Different people will have different views regarding the decision of leaving a good college like IIEST but in the end, it completely depends upon your goals.

Should I go for the Integrated MTech course in IIEST or rather do the BTech in Jadavpur University or some NIT (say, DGP or Calicut) and then try and get a better college for my MTech?

I have a few friends from IIEST. According to them, choosing IIEST can be good. For departments like Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Mining, the faculty base of IIEST is great. The civil engineering department at IIEST is one of the oldest in the country. Also, as per the new norm, you don’t have to complete a dual degree. 

You can have an exit option after completing your 4-Year B.Tech. Which is definitely a good option. However, if you want to choose CS/IT, for placements, top or average NIT/JU will offer better placement opportunities. 

So, consider all your options and choose according to your convenience.

How good is IIT Tirupati when compared to top engineering colleges in Hyderabad like CBIT, Vasavi, VNR etc.?

SP
Shagun Prajapati Posted On : August 31st, 2021
B.Tech Electronics, and Instrumentation, VNR Vignana Jyothi Institute of Engineering and Technology (2016)

IIT is a brand and they are better than any engineering college in India. It does not matter whether the IIT is new or old, IITs are best in terms of faculty and students, which matters for getting a good education. 

The directors of all the IITs have financial authority and this empowers them to do the best for the institution. The directors of other engineering institutes lack this authority and thus this puts certain restrictions on their functioning.

Earlier, it was believed that IITs are only meant for research purposes and only those should study at IITs who want to pursue research in engineering and technology. But over years, this theory was put to an end.

However, remember that just having the tag of an IITian does not assure a stellar career. It depends on your hard work and perseverance. You can achieve anything that you want in your life by working towards it every day. 

The “IITian” tag is enough. IIT Tirupati has maintained good standards like any other IIT. You should go for it.

Which is better, IIT Indore for metallurgical and material science or NIT Rourkela for electrical?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : July 1st, 2023
lives in New Delhi

IIT Indore is the better option for you, as they have experienced scholars who conduct effective classes for the students. There are a lot of misconceptions about IIT Indore, as they are new to this field and lack an alumni network, but they are more advanced than any other institute in India. They provide a resourceful atmosphere and good infrastructure facilities for the students. The final decision should be based on your core interests; for that, you can check the official website for the course curriculum in both institutes.

Which college should I choose, PSIT Kanpur or IMS Ghaziabad for a B.Tech through CS?

PS
Pratiksha Singh Posted On : February 13th, 2023
Lived in New Delhi -110027 (2001–2016)

In my opinion, IMS Ghaziabad is a much better option than PSIT Kanpur mainly because of its NCR location. When choosing a college, a factor of utmost importance is where the college is situated because your location will impact your college life largely. Opting for a college situated in NCR is a boon as it will give you a lot of exposure to activities and education in general. You get more exposure to industries and startups and thus getting internships is a lot easier. One more advantage is that you can avail many good coaching facilities in the NCR location which may not be possible in a city like Kanpur. 

The campus life is less strict at IMS Ghaziabad than at PSIT and there are no strict attendance rules. The fees and value of a degree are almost similar in both colleges but you can enjoy your life much better at NCR colleges. I am strongly against you joining PSIT Kanpur because

  • Not a good location
  • Unnecessary struck rules related to attendance 
  • You have to be stuck 9-5 completing unnecessary assignments which have no real importance 
  • Not a good college to enjoy life and hang out
  • No coding culture in PSIT 

Despite it all, PSIT Kanpur has a 100% placement percentage and will help you get places in CS. Weigh your options and choose wisely.

Between IIIT Bangalore, MNNIT Allahabad, IIIT Allahabad, and VNIT Nagpur, which college should I choose for CS/IT engineering?

KS
Kirti Somaya Posted On : April 29th, 2021
IIIT Bangalore

Your preference order should be IIIT A > IIIT B > MNNIT > VNIT.

  • IIIT A: IIIT A is one of the best in the country for IT courses. The campus and facilities are amazing. The culture of coding is great there. It is one of the top competitive coding locations online. 
  • IIIT B: IIIT B is also a decent option, however, it ranks a little lower due to its small campus and college life. Also, the course is a dual degree program and quite new, for this reason, most people don’t opt for it. But it is a pretty good option if you are passionate about CS and want to do MTech in the future. The faculties are great. The course curriculum is updated with many elective options. 

Both these two institutes teach core CS/IT subjects from the first year itself. If you are genuinely interested in CS/IT you can choose either of these two institutes.
