Why VJTI is better than KJ Somaiya?
While both are very good engineering colleges from Mumbai, according to me VJTI’s superiority lies in its strong industry connections, esteemed faculty and brand name. Its curriculum ensures that students are exposed to the latest developments and practical skills. VJTI also has a strong alumni network working in top companies that further enhance its reputation. Every year, many companies visit the VJTI campus and provide good packages. For 2024, A total of 401 BTech students have been placed till now with more expected to grab good offers as the campus drive continues.
Apart from placements, VJTI also offers better ROI and start-up support to students who aspire to entrepreneurial ventures. KJ Somiaya also charges much higher for its courses while VJTI being an autonomous government institute has an economic fee structure. It fosters a culture of academic excellence and innovation. VJTI faculties are also much more capable than KJ Somaiya’s, guiding students and at the same time engaging in research.
Which one should I choose for CSE, BITS Pilani, NIT Trichy or ISM Dhanbad?
It is always better not to choose IIT Patna if you are looking for a good academic life. As we know, IIT Patna is one of the leading institutes in advancement and infrastructure, but they are weak in academics, good faculty, and placement support. Here are some points that substantiate my statement about IIT Patna
Faculty – IIT Patna has only less qualified faculties who do not have sufficient knowledge about the subjects and are not interested in teaching. Other IITs have far better faculties when compared with Patna Placement Support – IIT Patna is not up to the mark when it comes to placement support. Only 40% of students get placement here, and it varies based on the batches. Other Branches – They are more struggling than the students from the CSE department as they are not satisfied with the internship programs and only a few got placement So it is better to choose other IITs, BITS, or NITs for CSE other than IIT Patna.Can I fill only one college (for example, NIT Jalandhar) for the choice filling of JoSAA counselling?
Yes, you can fill out only one college for the choice filling of JoSAA counseling.
No matter how many choices you fill, you will get the seat that is in the top of the priority list
provided that you are eligible for it.
How effective do you find the teaching technique in IIM Ahmedabad?
The lecture method, case method, or a combination of the two will be used depending on the subject being taught or discussed and on how the professor doing with this method.
Some are best taught using the case method, while others prefer the lecture method, but many others require a combination of the two.
Class participation, role-playing, and individual or group assignments are all important.
Does IIEST Shibpur have a chance of becoming an IIT?
The Bengal Engineering College (BEC) Shibpur has a rich legacy of its own. It was unfortunate that BEC opted for the IIEST tag in 2014.
Becoming an IIT won’t be the best for IIEST Shibpur. The internal governance of IITs is completely different. Becoming one of them will be a great blow to the autonomy of IIEST. This autonomy was already compromised when the college acquired the IIEST tag.
But the chances of IIEST becoming an IIT are very faint. Bengal already has an IIT of its own, and the chances of another institute acquiring this status are negligible at present.
Is IIEST Shibpur better than College of Engineering, Pune?
Both COEP and IIEST Shibpur are heritage colleges of India. COEP was established in 1854, and IIEST in 1856. Here are some differences between the two-
- Location- COEP is located in the heart of Pune city. Pune will expose you to numerous opportunities that you couldn’t have otherwise accessed in small towns and cities. IIEST is located in Howrah, 15 minutes away from Kolkata city. Kolkata offers amazing food, ambiance, and exposure.
- Research- COEP isn’t inclined towards research, and its students mostly aim for good placements. This is a drawback if you want to pursue higher studies in the future. IIEST Shibpur is one of the best colleges for research. In this regard, it stands just below IISc and old IITs.
- Placements- COEP offers better placements, especially for CS/IT. The research-oriented environment of IIEST affects its placements to a certain extent. Coal India, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Texas Instruments and PwC are some of the companies that visit IIEST for placements.
- Extracurriculars- COEP has really good extracurricular facilities. It even boasts of a boat club. IIEST Shibpur has fewer extracurricular facilities. However, since being updated to an Institute of National Importance, it has witnessed an increase in clubs, societies, and events. Some of these are- the Kolkata Comic Carnival, TEDx, and the Astronomy Club.
Both the colleges have their strengths and weaknesses. You should choose between them based on your personal preference.
Which college is better, BIET Jhansi or KIET Ghaziabad?
I think KIET Ghaziabad is a much better institute than BIET Jhansi.
The placement record of KIET has been consistently higher than BIET in the last few years. Also, their placement cell works very effectively in inviting top companies for placements and internships. Over 90% of students are placed in KIET as opposed to BIET, where the placement percentage is about 60%-70% only.
Reputed companies like Capgemini, Reliance, Wipro, Tata, Paytm, IBM, etc have been visiting the college for placements. They had one of the best packages last year in 2023, which was around INR 48.89 LPA, in their CSE and IT branches. This is also consistently higher than BIET.
How good is the PhD neurophysiology program at NIMHANS?
One of my friends is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in the Department of Neurophysiology at NIMHANS. As per the information he shared, the department has 8 faculties. Only 4 students can enroll under one professor for a Ph.D. The batch size is around 50 per batch every year.
The duration of the coursework is 6 months which is centralized. PhD students are exposed to a wide range of topics in the field of neuroscience. The theoretical knowledge imparted is only basic just to give an idea of the field and no topic-specific modules are taught. One will get exposed to the basics of research methodology.
Once the coursework comes to an end, students are supposed to choose their guides and start working on a specific topic for the Ph.D. Other learning modules include classroom discussions, writing up Ph.D. protocol to get feedback, and techniques required for the Ph.D. work. I have seen many MPhil students returning for a PhD program in the Department of Neurophysiology.
The Department of Neurophysiology offers a 2 year MPhil program. Usually, students of MPhil pursue the same topic for their PhD. One seminar and one journal club presentation are conducted every week.
Overall, the course is well-structured and renders enough freedom to do the research work. You can also consider taking online courses in statistics and signal processing if you are interested in research work.
Is an MBA at UBS Chandigarh worth it, with that cheap fee structure, as compared to other private institutes?

This institute is gifted with experienced scholars who use a case study approach along with live project opportunities in most of the courses to make the concepts easier.
UBS Chandigarh also guarantees 100% placement to the students; many recruiters visit the campus every year.

Is IIT Kanpur underrated?
IIT Kanpur is well known for its cutting-edge research facilities in India. It has many unique aspects like the unique wind tunnel facilities for Aeronautical Engineering to supercomputers for CSE. It also has a rich research culture and contributes to Industrial trends.
Most of the professors here are involved in research and thus there are excellent research opportunities in every field at IIT Kanpur. Due to this many students willingly pursue research despite the placements being very good. IIT Kanpur gives equal opportunities to students of all fields and lets you explore all your passions.
Infrastructure-wise too, IIT Kanpur is better than most IITs providing the best hostel facilities, and extracurricular and academic facilities.
So now the question arises, despite being excellent in every aspect, why do people prefer IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi over IIT Kanpur? Well to state the most common reason, top rankers want to follow the herd and thus end up either in Delhi or Bombay. Other reasons might be
The location of IIT Kanpur may also affect one’s decision of joining it
The trend of top 100 rankers going to Bombay or Delhi also leaves Kanpur underrated
Bombay and Delhi slightly enjoy better placements than Kanpur
The rankings also consider Kanpur below Delhi and Bombay. In reality, these rankings are subjective but for students, these become the basis on which they make their decision.
To conclude, there is nothing wrong with IIT Kanpur and yes it is indeed underrated because of the trend of top rankers flocking to Bombay or Delhi with no clear reason.
