Which one should I choose, NIT Jalandhar for chemical or NIT Silchar in CS?

MA
Madhav Aneja Posted On : August 31st, 2023
Lived in Chandigarh, India

Both NIT Jalandhar and NIT Silchar are reputable institutes for their respective fields, Chemical engineering and Computer Science. However, the decision ultimately depends on your interests and career goals.

  • If you are interested in studying Chemical engineering, NIT Jalandhar would be a great choice as it has a strong program in this field. It is known to have a well-equipped laboratory, experienced faculty, and a good placement scenario.
  • If you are interested in Computer Science, NIT Silchar offers a good program in this field and has a good reputation. NIT Silchar has a strong faculty and good placement records.

In my opinion, it's better to choose NIT Silchar CSE because it's very challenging to upgrade your branch from Chemical to CS later. So unless you are confident of being able to change your branch, choose NIT Silchar without any hesitation. Ultimately, the decision should be based on your interests and career goals.

Which college should I join, VGSoM (IIT Kharagpur) or IIM Udaipur considering the IIM tag and ROI (in favor of VGSoM)? I am inclined towards an MBA in marketing.

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : May 20th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Both VGSoM (IIT Kharagpur) and IIM Udaipur are highly reputable institutions with strong reputations in their respective fields. However, VGSOM is known for its strong focus on technology and engineering and lacks an environment conducive to Management studies. IIM Udaipur on the other hand is known for its business and management programs. The IIM tag is a strong advantage for IIM Udaipur, and an MBA in marketing from an IIM is highly valued in the job market.

Moreover, IIM Udaipur ranked 81 in the Financial Times Global rankings and should be preferred over IIT Kharagpur in my opinion. The branch value of the MBA program plays a major role in shaping your career so make sure you choose it after deep research and analysis. IIT Kharagpur is an excellent brand for B.Tech, but not so much for MBA. In fact, the whole ambiance is different. 

Ultimately, the decision on which college to join will depend on your interests, goals, and career aspirations. It is important to do your own research and consult with professionals in both fields to make an informed decision.

Haldia Institute of Technology or University of Engineering and Management (UEM-Kolkata) would be the best for CSE?

AG
Abhimunyu Ghose Posted On : July 17th, 2021
B.Tech from Kalyani Government Engineering College (2019)

I have a few friends at the Haldia Institute of Technology and based on what I heard from them, I will suggest you to look for other options. Having a college campus in Kolkata will be advantageous for you.

You can get IT in Techno India salt-lake main campus. If you don’t get Techno you can go for CSE in B.P. Poddar, RCC or St. Thomas, or any other college. Follow previous year trends of opening and closing ranks of the college and make a choice accordingly.

Choosing the University of Engineering and Management (UEM), Kolkata can be risky because it is newly established. Even though it is under the banner of IEM, you can’t be certain about placements. Going by the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at the institute is 4 LPA.

Which is better, IIT Patna or IIT Bhubaneswar?

SR
Sachin Rao Posted On : August 13th, 2020
PhD from Indian Institute of Technology Patna (2019)

Despite being a new IIT, IIT Bhubaneswar stands out in terms of Placement. The average CTC of IIT Bhubaneswar was 11.5 lakh/annum in 2019. Companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Oracle, IBM, etc visited the IIT Bhubaneswar campus for last year’s placement drive. The highest CTC offered was around 39 lakh/annum. Almost 70% of the students got placed from all departments in 2019. 

Apart from studies and placement, IIT Bhubaneswar is also very rich in its culture. A lot of cultural workshops, events are performed on the campus which encourages the students to showcase their talents. The student council arranges various extra-curricular, technical, and other activities around the year to motivate the students further to perform well not only in their activities but in their academics. They preserve great faculties on their campus in all the departments. The hostels are newly constructed with single occupancy. IIT Bhubaneswar is expanding and improving over time.

If we compare IIT Patna with the same then in terms of placement, it is not behind. According to 2019 placement highlights the average package offered was 13.5 LPA. The highest package of 2019 was 38 LPA. When the infrastructure is concerned it cannot be compared with the old IITs but they are well diversified. For all the branches the faculties are really good here. IIT Patna also maintained the culture of IITs by grooming their students for cultural activities or sports. They also conduct different sorts of workshops. Hostels are equipped with basic amenities and all the requirements are within walking distance from the campus whether foods or railway stations. A hospital is also there on the campus for medical emergencies. IIT Patna has a huge library equipped with over 10000 books and journals, and various online resources. 

Both IIT Patna and IIT Bhubaneswar good IITs, so it is hard to pick one institute over the other.

Which option is better, Pursuing a BA programme (Eco +Maths) from PGDAV college or BA (Honours) Economics from Amity University

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : August 21st, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

It’s better to choose the right program for you than choosing a better college. This is because if you choose something you are passionate about, even an average college will offer you enough opportunities to grow in that field. 

I will suggest you go for Economic Honors in the BA program. This program is the right blend of Maths and Economics at the graduation level. Given below are a few scenarios in which choosing a BA program from PGDAV college over BA (H) Economics from Amity University will be beneficial

  1. You have no interest in pursuing higher studies in the field of Economics. You are just looking for a qualifying degree that will make you eligible for government exams or other courses.
  2. You get a better college for the BA program than Economic Honors. Although I will suggest that you give preference to courses over college.

Most people will suggest you go for Economics Honors but make sure you are choosing what you actually want.

I have a choice of joining 5 year integrated program in JNTUH this year or take a drop and study for BITS or NITs. Which is going to be better?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : August 8th, 2023

The 5 year integrated EEE, ECE and CSE programs at JNTUH are pretty good. These courses offer good placements and the faculty is also the same for them most of the time. 

But according to me, you should take a drop and study for BITS and NITs. As long as you are determined, do not fall into societal pressure, and prepare for the JEE next year. With hard work, you can even end up getting into an IIT. Prepare well to secure a seat in a top NIT or a good BITS campus.

However, if you don’t want to spend another year in preparation, join the integrated program at JNTUH. You won’t regret your decision. It is a really good choice if you are not obsessed about getting into an NIT or BITS.

Should I go for IIT Hyderabad chemical engineering or RGIPT petroleum in terms of placements?

SP
Sushil Panda Posted On : May 16th, 2023

I find it very illogical when people try to compare and evaluate an institute's worth solely on the basis of placements. There are many other crucial factors that affect your career prospects some of which have been discussed below

  • Infrastructure: The campus and infrastructure of IIT Hyderabad are much better than RGIPT, except that RGIPT has better accommodation facilities than IIT Hyderabad.
  • Faculty: Both colleges have equally qualified and experienced faculty pools
  • Alumni network: Undoubtedly, IIT Hyderabad fares better in this aspect than RGIPT
  • Extracurricular activities: IIT Hyderabad again is a winner here 
  • Peer group: IIT Hyderabad has better and bigger peer groups. RGIPT has smaller peer groups and thus faces a slight disadvantage in this aspect.
  • Fees structure: RGIPT does not have a fee waiver policy for General and OBC candidates while in IIT you can be eligible for a fee waiver.
  • Placement: Placements-wise, RGIPT Petroleum gives an edge to IIT Hyderabad. This is because Petroleum engineers are highly paid globally. The majority of the placements are in core sector jobs, and thus have better job opportunities than a chemical engineer. Chemical Engineers rarely get placed in core sectors and end up with non-core jobs. Basically, IIT Hyderabad has better noncore opportunities while RGIPT has better core job opportunities. 

Overall, IIT Hyderabad is better than RGIPT in many other aspects and is preferable to RGIPT any day.

Which is good for a B.Arch: SPA Bhopal or MANIT Bhopal?

Sapna Malik updated Posted On : November 24th, 2023

As far as academics are concerned, SPA Bhopal is better in my opinion. This is backed by the fact that SPA Bhopal requires higher JEE Paper 2 ranks for admission into its B.Arch program. Additionally, SPAs are dedicated to Architecture and Planning studies. So they have a higher branch value in the field of Architecture.

Now, MANIT Bhopal is also a good college. One advantage is that it is located in Bhopal city. On the other hand, SPA Bhopal is located on the city outskirts.

For branch value, join SPA Bhopal. But for a better exposure to city life and the associated advantages, join MANIT Bhopal.

Which is the better option, Northeast NIT (Agartala) or IIIT Tiruchirappalli?

SG
Sugandhi Garg Posted On : September 20th, 2023
Studied Computer Science at National Institute of Technology, Agartala

As a student of NIT Agartala, I will try to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of my college in relation to IIIT Trichy-

  • Location- Location is the main factor in which NIT Agartala lags behind IIIT Trichy. Though Agartala has train, rail and air connectivity, it feels a bit disconnected from the other parts of the country.
  • Courses Offered- NIT Agartala is quite old, and was originally established in 1965. It offers a number of B.Tech courses- Bio Engineering, Chemical, Civil, CSE, EE, ECE, Electronics & Instrumentation, Mechanical and Production. On the other hand, IIIT Trichy offers B.Tech CSE and ECE only.
  • Infrastructure- NIT Agartala has one of the best infrastructures among Indian engineering colleges. Its infrastructure is world-class. Some of its infrastructural elements are- a gym, an indoor stadium, five hostels, departmental buildings and the 2nd supercomputer of northeast.
  • Placements- NITA is very old, so it offers a stronger alumni network and better placement opportunities. Some of the companies that recruit from NITA are- Google, NTPC, SapientNitro, Indian Oil, Cognizant, Tata, ITC Limited, Vedanta, HCL, among others. NITA offers good placements for core branches.

Overall, NIT Agartala is a superior engineering college. Apart from B.Tech, NITA offers integrated programs as well. These are- BS+MS in Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry, and integrated M.Tech in Engineering Physics or Computational Mathematics.
