Is IIT Dhanbad good for an M.Tech in the ECE department?
The two deciding factors in this case are the studies and placements. IIT Dhanbad offers M.Tech ECE in VLSI, RF and Microwave Engineering, Communications, and Photonics. RF and Microwave Engineering is a good but difficult option.
The faculty for VLSI and Communications is good. However, the Photonics faculty is not good at all. 2-3 subjects and labs are common for all ECE students. However, the curriculum for RF and Microwave is entirely different from the other three.
The placement scenario for ECE isn’t good. Very few students are placed from the department, that too in non-core jobs. Those who are well-versed in programming get easily placed in IT firms.
Core companies like Texas, Intel, Amdocs, etc. visit the campus for recruitment. However, they recruit very few students (sometimes none) from the department. Some students do secure internships at firms like Intel. But for final placements, they have to undergo screening once again. The placements are nil in RF. But some universities visit the campus seeking Assistant Professors. They offer good starting packages.
If you get VLSI at NIT Surathkal/Trichy/Warangal, choose that over IIT Dhanbad. The placement for VLSI is very good at these colleges. As for IIT Dhanbad, it offers a very decent M.Tech ECE. The main advantage in this case is the ‘IIT’ tag.
Why is the NIRF ranking of NIT Patna so low despite it being the oldest and best NIT?
The rankings released by bodies like NIRF are based on not one but several parameters like placements, academics, research, and campus life. So institutes are often ranked low when they fail to meet even one or two criteria.
NIT Patna has a very small campus around 40 acres, so that works against the institute's image and affects the rankings badly. The authorities had a tough time making its campus fully residential. However, the facilities are slowly being improved and new Mega Hostels have recently been constructed.
Another reason for NIT Patna's diminished image is its location amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. While most NITs are located remotely away from the haptic city life, NIT Patna’s central location is another reason why NIT Patna has not been ranked decently.
But if you look at the big picture, many bright students have been able to get placed in huge companies like Adobe, Amazon, Qualcomm, NetApp, Infenera, etc As a whole, NIT Patna is at the same level as tier-II NITs at least in terms of placement and academics.
How is NIT Patna Mechanical Engineering at present time?
Mechanical Engineering is often called the Evergreen branch of engineering owing to its multifaceted nature and the diverse opportunities it offers. Here are some highlights of the ME branch of NIT Patna
- Infrastructure : The infrastructure is decent although the campus is very small. Frequent renovations are made to improve the scenario.
- Faculties : Sparing a few professors, the faculty is experienced, qualified, and very approachable.
- Lab : Lab equipment is obsolete and old. The situation is slowly improving but a lot needs to be improved.
- Facilities : NIT Patna has managed to offer excellent facilities even from a small campus. There are a number of student-run clubs like the American Society of Automotive Engineers(ASME) and the Society of Automotive engineer (SAE)
- Location: Situated in the heart of the city, NIT Patna has many coaching centers for GATE and IES right around the campus.
- Placements: The mechanical branch of NIT Patna has a decent placement scenario. The following stats will give you an idea of the same.

Should I apply for Thapar University and can I get loan of total fees of Thapar, can I repay that loan easily, and finally is it worth it?
Yes, it's quite possible to secure a loan for the total fees of Thapar University. Banks offer a variety of educational loans such as
- Upto 4 Lac-Without Any Guarantor
- 4–7 Lac- With a Guarantor( Parents)
- Above 7 Lac- With Proper Collateral
However, banks offer privileges like low-interest rates and Loan Without Collateral only to students of top institutions and sadly Thapar University is not yet among them. One of my friends at Thapar University got a loan from the Indian Bank. Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology is in their List-A, institutions and so he received 100% finance without Collateral up to Rs. 30 Lac.
As for the repayment of the loan, it directly depends on the type of package you land up with. Generally, the placemats here are great and with enough hard work, you will be able to get a good job and thus will be able to repay the loan soon.
What is it like to study computer science at IIT Kharagpur?
CSE branch of top IITs is the most coveted branch of engineering aspirants in India. My sister got the splendid opportunity for the same but claimed that in reality the IIT brand name is overhyped and does not deserve so much attention.
IIT Kharagpur indeed had the best professors, lab facilities, high-tech classrooms, and an extensive range of courses, but like every coin has two sides, IIT KGP has its share of disappointments as well. There are some extremely bad professors and classes.
Much is expected from the students claiming them to be a part of the rich IIT family while the administration is somehow below average and the teaching standards are also deteriorating. You surely will get a good experience but don’t over expect it.

How is the chemical engineering branch at Manipal Institute of Technology?
MIT's chemical department has a rich legacy of over 50 years and is one of the university's oldest and most reputed departments. Here are a few core highlights of the department
- The department has a strong alumni network and some of them have made it to the position of Board of Directors of big companies.
- The faculty is highly qualified with excellent research experience, strict yet helpful in clearing your doubts.
- MIT Manipal does not have a very active research culture, especially at the UG level. The scenario however is gradually improving as they are being called for conferences with well-published journals.
- The curriculum of the chemistry department of MIT Manipal is decent and at par with BITS since the HOD was an alumnus of BITS.
- The department has well-equipped Chemical Engineering laboratories such as Mass Transfer, Heat Transfer, and a Process Control lab.
- There is also a computer lab decked with the latest engineering software - CAD, Aspen, and Matlab.
- As per the institute's Practice School Policy, students can complete their final year projects outside the institution.
- It will be difficult to secure core jobs at MIT Manipal because there are very few core chemical industries on the placement list. Students can easily get a job in the service /IT industry. A few companies that have recruited students from this department in the past are Jindal Steels, Grasim Textiles, Reliance, and Mangalore Refinery.
Hope my answer gave you a clear insight into the chemistry department of MIT Manipal.
IIT Delhi Mtech Computer Technology vs IIT Hyderabad Mtech CSE. Which is better for placements in product based software companies?
Both IIT Delhi MTech Computer Technology and IIT Hyderabad Mtech CSE are excellent engineering programs. However, my personal suggestion is IIT Delhi Ctech. Here’s why
- IIT Delhi offers the best opportunities considering its rank in the top 3 IITs
- IIT Delhi holds the Institute of Eminence Status
- The brand value of IIT Delhi is much higher than the new IIT Hyderabad.
- IIT Delhi being old has a very beautiful campus with great natural beauty. IIT Hyderabad on the other hand has a newly established campu that is still under construction.
- A few major companies don’t visit new IITs like IIT Hyderabad. IIT Delhi, on the other hand, is visited by top IT companies like Amazon, Flipkart, Microsoft, Ola, Uber, Tower Research, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung, etc
The only disadvantage you might face at IIT Delhi Is the intense competition with CS students as they are all top rankers.
I don’t mean to demean IIT Hyderabad but it’s a fact that the opportunities and exposure that IIT Delhi will offer cannot be compared to IIT Hyderabad.
