What should I choose BITS Goa or NIT Surathkal for chemical engineering?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : September 16th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

One of my friends recently took a drop year just to get BITS Goa. It has always been his dream college and he is glad he left NIT for BITS Goa. Several factors combined helped him take this bold step. I have mentioned the core reasons below

  • Reputation: NIT Surathkal is considered among the top 3 NITs and is a very old institute. However, NTs are not at par with BITS in terms of reputation. Some might claim that BITS Goa is a new college but in reality, it's just an extension of the main campus.
  • Value of Degree: BITS Goa awards a BITS Pilani degree which is highly valued and not a BITS Goa degree.
  • Faculty: From what I have heard, NIT Surathkal Chemical Engineering faculty is worse than NIT Warangal and NIT Trichy. Most of the professors are inexperienced and unprofessional. In BITS, however, frequent faculty exchanges take place across campus. So, the faculty is common for all three campuses. There are even lectures from faculties of different campuses through a program called BITSS Connect. 
  • Peer group: BITS has a very intellectual and refined crowd much better than NITs mainly because the college has no reservations policy, unlike NITs where seats are reserved by various quotas.
  • Placements: Core placements for branches like Chemical are almost the same everywhere. Usually, packages depend on your skills and the reputation of the college. Since BITS has a better brand value, it attracts better packages and recruiters. Additionally, BITS provides internship opportunities to its students called the practice school. 
  • Academics:  BITS has a well-structured curriculum and a flexible campus life. There is a zero attendance policy however the tutorials in the class lectures form a part of the GPA. The best part here is the flexibility to choose your own courses and even timetable at your convenience. NITs lack such facilities and lack academic flexibility as well.

I think these points summarize well the fact that BITS Pilani is a far better choice than NIT Surathkal.

Is it better to go for DU BMS instead of IPM of IIM Indore

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : June 3rd, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Since you’ve not given any context to the question, the answer in any normal circumstance would be yes. Let’s understand why spending more than 5 lacs on an IPM degree is not worth your time and effort. 

  • Fee: BMS DU charges around 50,000 for the entire course where IPM fee is unnecessarily high just because of the IIM tag. I am not saying that there will not be any difference between the curriculum but the difference is not worth the money you’re paying. 
  • Syllabus: Although IIMs are known for their pedagogy and surely you’ll get professors who will change the way you see a subject. This kind of exposure at such an early stage of your life will widen the possibilities but if we talk about the syllabus of a BBA degree and that of a BMS degree, the difference is pretty evident. 

BMS is a slightly analytical degree that would give you an edge over students pursuing BBA or BCOM. I have seen BMS students acing CAT after basic preparation cause of their good grasp on logical reasoning. It’s a given fact that an average BMS students is more likely to score well in CAT than an average BBA/BCOM student.

Which IIM should I choose amongst Bodh Gaya, Sirmaur, and Jammu?

AD
Aditya Dhakar Posted On : January 21st, 2023
MBA in Marketing & Technology, DoMS IIT Roorkee (Graduated 2006)

All the 3 B Schools you mentioned have been established recently and are not very different from each other. My sister is an IIM Jammu pass out so I will mention whatever I know of that particular IIM only.

  • It was established in 2016 and initially functioned under IIM Lucknow but now runs as an autonomous school.
  • Located in the heart of Jammu city, IIM Jammu gives an edge over other new IIMs because of better connectivity.
  • The campus life is a blend of a hectic schedule with tight deadlines that will always keep you on your toes
  • Emphasis is also placed on extracurricular activities through sports, cultural and regional events. The Annual Sports Event “Funathon” is conducted to showcase the talents of students in sports.
  • Great exposure is provided to students 
  • through various Guest Lectures and various events like HR Conclave and CEO Summit
  • Being a new IIM, the student-driven culture is at its peak here. You are responsible for solving issues related to the establishment of clubs and committees.

So I think IIM Jammu is probably a good choice.

Which is better for biotechnology, MSU Baroda or Amrita School of Biotechnology?

UK
Utsav Kamra Posted On : December 31st, 2022
Just Another Indian Student

MSU BARODA offers biotechnology (via JNUCEEB entrance). They also provide medical biotechnology and biostatistics services. It is a government agency. Fees range between INR 18.18 K and 2.46 L. Because Amrita School of Biotechnology is a private institution, the fee structure differs. Fees range between INR 1.86 lakh and INR 2.86 lakh.

Both institutions have excellent faculty and facilities. Both institutions have a good reputation. The overall NIRF ranking of MSU is 151 whereas the Amrita School of Biotechnology is 16. Biotechnology placements are extremely rare. But after MSc from MSU, most of the students go for Ph.D. in USA / Germany / UK.

However, after earning an MSc from Amrita Vidyapitham, you must find work because you have already spent a significant amount of money. They do, however, provide good placements.

What should be the preference order in NIT Jamshedpur Metallurgy, Civil, production for JoSAA Counseling?

GG
Gargi Gupta Posted On : September 6th, 2023
Studied at NIT Jamshedpur

One of my friends chose ProductionCivil and Metallurgy at NIT Jamshedpur. Honestly, the preference may vary from person to person depending on their career prospects and inclinations. However, I can certainly guide you to decide the right one

  • If you are a Physics or Maths guy who wants to study Mechanical or is planning to pursue an MBA later then the right choice for you is Production Engineering
  • If you are interested in Chemistry and want to pursue a research-based career in or outside India then go for Metallurgy.
  • If you want to land a decent government job or prepare for UPSC, then Civil is the right option for you. 

So the preference order in my opinion is Production>Metallurgy>Civil. Ultimately it’s your own preferences that will determine the choice.
