Which is better LNCT Bhopal or UIT Bhopal for EC?

PJ
Priyanka Jain Posted On : October 1st, 2021
BE. from Lakshmi Narain College of Technology,Bhopal

Both institutes are reputed in Bhopal. The main difference between the two institutes is that LNCT is a private institute while UIT Bhopal is a Govt. Institute. 

One of my friends studied in LNCT and it turns out that they have very good placement. If you are willing to get into the private sector or MNCs, then surely go for it. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at the institute ranges around 3-8 LPA. However, attendance rules are quite strict at LNCT as they ask for 75% mandatorily. 

UIT, on the contrary, does not have any issues with your attendance owing to the fact that it is a government college. That can be taken as an added advantage if you are willing to prepare for some exam on the sidelines so that college attendance will not hinder your objectives. Just look out for what works best for you.

Delhi Technological University (DTU) and MNNIT Allahabad have numerous opportunities for the students opting to do civil engineering. DTU has an upstanding ranking record as it was ranked at #2 in Best Technological Universities in India by Times Engineering Survey and #34 by NIRF. MNNIT on the other hand was ranked at #14 in the Top Public colleges in India 2020 by India today and #19 for B.Tech in India 2019 by The Week.

A comparison is presented below to explain the factors to be considered while choosing civil engineering course from these two universities:

Students applying in this college need a minimum of 60% marks in aggregate of Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics along with English being one of the main subjects.
  • MNNIT Allahabad – students require a minimum of 75% with science stream in their 10+2 results or feature among the top twenty percentile. Further, for selection JEE Main scores are considered.

Which one should I choose, IIIT Kota or IIIT Guwahati?

PG
Parag Gupta Posted On : June 22nd, 2021
Former Student's Representative at Crotonia, The Literary Society, IIIT Lucknow (2019-2020)

Both the IIITs are among the newly established IIITs which still have a long way to achieve the same level of big IIITs like Hyderabad. I have friends from both of these institutes who are currently pursuing their B.Tech.

According to them, both the colleges offer good quality education and compares neck to neck. Here’s how:

  • Academics: As both of them are IIITs, the quality of academics and curriculum is great.
  • Campus placements: Both IIIT Kota and IIIT Guwahati share similar placement patterns with last year’s highest package of 10 LPA for the CSE batch. You can say that both of them have mediocre placement records and a non-existent coding culture.
  • Infrastructure: Guwahati takes the trophy because of its newly completed permanent campus. On the other hand, IIIT Kota still doesn’t have its own permanent campus and is estimated to be ready by 2024. It is currently running at NIT Jaipur’s campus.
  • Location: This factor totally depends on where you are from. For someone who is from the Eastern half of the country, IIIT Guwahati is the best choice. Similarly, people belonging to the Western and half, IIIT Kota is good enough. There is no need to travel from across the country for these equally ranking institutes.

Overall, both of the IIITs are new and struggling with a lot of factors like placements, lacking coding culture and facilities. Nevertheless, IIIT Guwahati has a slight edge over Kota because of its permanent campus if the location is not a problem for you. However, better not to opt for either of these colleges unless you have a JEE rank between 15–25k, and don’t have greater options nearby.

Considering my interest in Finance and a prior IT work experience of 2.5 years, what should be the preference for me among IIFT Delhi, NMIMS Mumbai, and new IIMs IIM Ranchi, Trichy?

AS
Aarzoo Shah Posted On : January 20th, 2023
Studied at SVKM's NMIMS

When it comes to financing roles, NMIMS is generally seen as being on par with or even better than IIFT. One advantage of NMIMS is its location in Mumbai, which can be beneficial for students seeking finance roles. A decent number of finance companies visit the campus during placements, offering a good range of opportunities for students. However, it's worth noting that the competition for these roles can be quite intense, especially for students with engineering backgrounds. This is because finance companies often have a tendency to shortlist more students with commerce backgrounds for interviews.

That being said, if you are able to clear one or two levels of the CFA or FRM exams, it can become easier to get shortlisted for finance roles at NMIMS. Overall, when it comes to financing roles, NMIMS is generally seen as being on par with IIFT and better than the new IIMs.
