Bits Pilani Msc Maths and BE CSE Dual Degree Course or IIIT Bangalore iMtech CSE or IIIT Allahabad IT Btech? Which is better and why?
To begin with, the 5-year dual degree program at BITS is significantly more costly than the 5-year iMTech program at IIIT Bangalore, as well as the 4-year BTech program at IIIT Allahabad.
Second, there's no assurance that you'll get CSE at BITS Pilani if you don't have the required CGPA. So, it will be better to consider IIITA or IIITB.
I have a few friends at IIITB and based on what I heard from them, I will definitely recommend the institute.
The arguments in favor of IIIT B are as follows.
- No reservations policy as it ensures a good peer group.
- The faculties at the institute are great.
- The course structure is innovative. There are a variety of courses in the first year, including Calculus using C and Python programming, Algebra Linear, Data Structures and Algorithms: An Overview, Computer Networks with Digital Design.
- You have the choice of doing a six-month project plus a six-month industry internship in your fifth year or twelve months of study for your master's thesis.
- Good Placements: It has maintained a great placement record over the years. According to the recent placement highlights the highest and average CTC for the institute was 24.88 LPA and 43.31 LPA.
- Locational Advantage: Bangalore is definitely a much better location than Prayagraj. The climate is great. Air, road, and rail connections are all available. It is in close proximity to MNC offices and top-tier universities (IISc etc). It also offers the conveniences of a big city i.e. malls, restaurants, hospitals, etc.
I know several students in the iMTech program who have chosen IIITB over BITS Pilani CSE and BITS Goa, CSE.

How is ECE at NIT HAMIRPUR?
ECE at NIT Hamirpur is considered a pretty good branch with a decent placement scenario. The faculty is well-educated and friendly. Recently there has been a change in the Director of the campus and also the H.o.D. so the situation is expected to get even better.
The institute has developed better industrial relations with companies either through Skype or through campus visits. Moreover, the professors have become more passionate and helpful. Recently, two teams from the ECE Department won a National Competition.

How much minimum CAT percentile do I need to get IIM Calcutta or IIM Lucknow if I have Xth 93, XIIth 73, and BTech 70, without any work experience?
Your graduation score is a bit low but it depends on your institute too. If you are from a top college, then this score will be considered pretty good. Moreover, past academics are not the only deciding factor when it comes to admission to IIMs. You do have decent changes if selection viewing your overall profile.
As for the CAT Score, don’t set a fixed target and just aim for as high as you can. The cutoffs keep changing depending on various factors so what should remain constant are your efforts. Additionally, preparing for the interview is very crucial because it determines your chances of admission.
Is there a swimming pool facility at MNNIT Allahabad?
Though there is a swimming pool structure at MNNIT Allahabad, it has not been in use since the 90s. By the time I graduated from MNNIT in 2010, it was in complete ruins.
Numerous rumors have been circulating for a long time about its past. One of them is that a student drowned in the pool, and hence, it was closed. It is not a usable state, but even if it were, there are other problems as well.
The pool is near the boys' hostels, and is easily visible from there, so it is impossible to open it for girl students. Also, it is located near a railway bridge crossing the MNNIT campus, so outsiders from above can view the students taking a bath in it.
Thus, one can say that there is no practically usable pool at MNNIT Allahabad at present.
Can RGUKT Nuzvid students crack the CAT?
As the institute is below average, but there have been students from RGUKT who have cracked the CAT exam in the past. CAT is considered one of the grinding MBA entrances. There were around 75 alumni who sailed through CAT. Most of them had percentiles that were above 98 and got admission in top B-schools like IIM A, B, C, K, and more.
You can prepare for the CAT from the last year of your engineering degree. You need to understand the syllabus and practice solving the past papers. Many academies, like Kish Academy, conduct seminars about CAT. They give insights about how to prepare and what it takes to clear the exam.
For the dream institute, IIM A, you need to score 99.9+ to get a call as an engineer. Even after receiving the call for an interview, you should ace the interview round.
If you are prepared and well-practiced, you will be able to score excellent percentile. You do not have to fear the institute from where you completed your graduation.
Which should I choose, College of Engineering (Guindy) or NIT Puducherry?
NIT Puducherry is very new compared to College of Engineering Guindy (CEG). Let me share some points which might help you decide.
- CEG is very old and experienced as an educational institution. It has well-established CSE and ECE departments with exceptional and updated lab facilities.
- The syllabus is more or less similar in both colleges.
- CEG has a more competitive student crowd which eventually helps students to boost their morale.
- Due to its years of educational experience, CEG definitely has a better placement record than NIT Puducherry.
| Categories | CEG | NIT Puducherry |
| Course Fee | 2 lakh | 5.49 lakh |
| Placement Percentage | 80% | 65% |
| Highest CTC | 22 LPA | 15 LPA |
| Average CTC | 7.5 LPA | 4 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | TCS, HP, Cognizant, Dell, etc. | L&T, EY, JP Morgan, TCS, etc. |
It is recommended that you go for CEG if you have to choose between these two. But if your choice only is NIT Puducherry then you can opt for it. It is a good college but as it started functioning recently, it is better to go for an experienced one.
