DS
Dipti Sinha Posted On : April 3rd, 2023
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (2022)

Both IIT Delhi and BITS Pilani are esteemed institutions with dynamic programs in electrical engineering and computer science, respectively. However, the decision of which program to choose depends on your personal interests and career goals. But one can consider the following points while make the decision 

  • Placements: The placement scenario is quite similar in both the institutes' byte CSE being the most in-demand branch sought better placements with the average package this year being, INR 30.37 LPA. Additionally, you can get coding jobs more easily as a CS student than EE.
  • Brand: This is where your IIT tag comes into play. It has a better brand value than BITS thus making it easier to apply abroad for higher education.
  • Education: Both the quality of education and rigor is higher at IIT Delhi than BITS.
  • Workload: BITS Pilani has less academic workload making it possible to seek much more than studies. The laid-back ambiance gives you opportunities to explore your interests apart from academics.
  • Fees: BITS Pilani has much higher fees around INR 4.84 lakh- INR 19.94 lakh for the CS program whereas IIT Delhi has lower fees around INR 8.00 Lakh.
  • Location: IIT Delhi enjoys the locational advantage of being surrounded with markets, multiplexes, and malls which is not possible due to the remote location of BITS Pilani.

 BITS is somewhere near the level of IIT Delhi but its overall campus and opportunities are yet to reach its level.

How much marks are needed for OBC category in JEE (Advance) to get CSE in IIT Delhi?

KS
Kunal Sharma Posted On : April 3rd, 2023
B.Tech. from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

Never target a fixed score if you are planning to clear JEE because the level of difficulty of the exam varies every year. The closing rank of an OBC candidate is 340 for the CSE branch at IIT Delhi. So, on a rough estimate, a score of around 230 might get you into CSE as an OBC student. However, you wouldn’t limit your capabilities to your branch but give your best.

Should I join IIT Delhi chemical or top NIT CSE?

SG
Sushmita Gupta Posted On : April 1st, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

Yes, irrespective of the branch, choosing IIT Delhi will always prove to be beneficial for you. IIT Delhi has ties with many big firms that visit the campus for placements and offer great packages irrespective of your branch. One needs to be proficient in DSA and other computer science core subjects such as OOPS, OS, DBMS, and Computer Networks. A good grasp of these will fetch you a high-paying job no matter which branch you belong to in IIT Delhi.

Although most companies that visit IIT Delhi also visit NIT, your IIT tag will always fetch you extra benefits and no one can deny that. For instance, the same role offered to an IITiand will have more salary than that offered to a non-IITian.You can easily switch roles and fields given the brand name of the institute you are associated with. IITians even have more opportunities for higher studies in Foreign countries than non-IITians.

IITians especially from Mumbai or Delhi are always given preference over non-IITians hence it is advisable to go for IIT Delhi in any branch.

I got CSE at IIT Delhi. Can I get a single room in the first year?

AG
Ankit Gupta Posted On : April 1st, 2023
Bachelor of Technology in Computer Engineering at Delhi Technological University

Do you think getting admission to the most coveted branch will also give access to the most coveted housing facilities? Well, you are wrong, inside IIT your rank has no value. You will be treated like any other student with equal amenities at your disposal.

At IIT Delhi, every student is allotted a room randomly without any discrimination. First-year students usually get 2-seater or 3-seater rooms depending on the hostel they are assigned to. 

The single rooms you were asking for are usually allotted in the last year but some lucky students get a single room from the 3rd year in a new hostel like Girnar or Udaigiri. But regardless, your hostel will become your new home. Irrespective of the kind of rooms you are allotted, you get adapted to them and make splendid memories and new friends.

Why should someone choose IIT Delhi over IIT Mumbai for CSE? Except his/her AIR.?

RR
Riya Radhera Posted On : April 1st, 2023
Works at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

There are two sides to every coin. Similarly, there are many reasons why one must choose IIT Delhi over IIT Mumbai and vice versa. To make it further understandable, I have listed some common pros and cons of IIT Delhi

Pros

  • You are in proximity to the capital city 
  • It’s easy to prepare for some other exams also apart from Engineering like IAS
  • Hauz Khas village in itself is an absolute treat to the eyes
  • Being in Delhi makes it possible to go for road trips to Jaipur, Chandigarh, Lansdown, Rishikesh, Dehradun, Agra, etc.
  • The Delhi Metro makes commuting quiet easy
  • There are many places to explore and hang out with your friends in the vicinity of the campus.

Cons

  • CS department of IIT Bombay is way better than IIT Delhi offering a plethora of diverse courses.
  • The campus of IIT Bombay has more natural landscape and greenery in comparison to IIT Delhi. This enhances the climate and overall ambiance inside the campus 
  • Unlike IIT Delhi, the hostel facilities are much better at IIT Bombay while Delhi hostels are overly crowded.
  • Delhi faces extreme climatic conditions whereas the weather of IIT Bombay somehow remains the same throughout the year.

I leave it to you to weigh the pros and cons accordingly and make an informed decision.

How is chandigarh university for btech cse?

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

I am here to give you a very honest opinion based on my brother's experience at Chandigarh University. The university does everything but imparts good quality education and is more like a money-making machine. The points below will clarify my point further 

  • The faculty pool comprises ignorant professors who are just Master graduates from CU itself. All their lectures are copy paste material and the classes are extremely monotonous with no dynamic or practical approach at all. These professors have no area of expertise and teach different subjects in different semesters
  • There are illogical restrictions and very tight schedules. You don’t get to roam even after classes are over and if you don’t reach the block by 9 30 am, you will find it closed.
  • The syllabus is exhaustive and chaotic comprising so many irrelevant theoretical subjects making students rote learners with minimal understanding of concepts
  • No additional skills like coding, data analysis, and programming are taught. Everything is taught with a theoretical approach with no hands on experience.
  • A huge number of assignments and projects are assigned meant to be completed within a week leaving no time for additional activities or studies.
  • There are attendance policies requiring you to maintain 75% attendance with strict reprimands like debarring
  • The college is not exactly located in Chandigarh but in the outskirts in a village area with no transport facilities.
  • The hostel and mess facilities are appalling

No doubt, the college has a lot of companies coming for placements but the scenario for that isn’t very different. So, I will recommend you to go for any other engineering college after proper research.

Which is better among NIT Warangal CSE and IIT Madras civil?

AB
Adiya Bondhopaday Posted On : March 31st, 2023
Lives in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh

It’s a bit difficult to draw comparisons between NIT Warangal CSE program and CivIl Engineering program at IIT Madras, as they are different programs offered at different institutions. Both NIT Warangal and IIT Madras are highly respected institutions in their respective fields, and both offer excellent educational opportunities. 

It’s a brainer that CSE is a much more preferred branch than civil engineering. But before choosing any branch you need to first determine your inclinations whether you want to go for IES, PWD job, a government sector job, or want to enter the corporate world. For most of these prospects, Civil is a better choice but for the corporate sector, CSE is better. Moreover,

  • CSE has better packages with the average package of BTech this year at INR 41.72 LPA
  • One gets to experience decent city life in contrast to Civil Engineering jobs
  • Once you have gained experience in CSE, you will only climb the ladder higher in terms of pay and roles.
  • CSE has a wide scope of opportunities outside India which is lacking in the part of Civil.
  • Considering the fast-paced technological development, CSE has more demand than Civil

I am not saying Civil has no opportunities, it’s just that CSE is the perfect choice for someone interested in programming and wants to enter the corporate sector.

Ultimately, the decision of which program is "better" for you will depend on your personal interests and career goals. It's important to research and thinks about the curriculum, campus culture, research opportunities, and career prospects offered by each program before making a decision.

Is it better to do chemical engineering at the IIT Madras or computer engineering at IIT Indore?

RS
Ronit Sharma Posted On : March 31st, 2023
Lives in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India

Both the programs, Chemical Engineering at IIT Madras and Computer Engineering at IIT Indore offers excellent courses and opportunities. However, the choice of the program is more of a personal decision as it depends on career goals, personal interests, and other criteria. It's not a hidden fact that Computer Engineering has a wider scope in almost all sectors in comparison to Chemical engineering. So obviously it is a safe option, but what if you take a specific branch just for placements and then regret it later? 

If you take Chemical you can also change your branch to Computer later but it won't be possible Vive Versa. You must decide after considering all factors and most importantly your interests. Find out what makes you happy the most out of coding, data analysis, or research in a chemical lab, finding solutions for medicinal products, health, synthetic materials, and so on. 

There are examples of IITians dropping out to chase their dreams after realizing they were chasing the wrong branch. Only you can identify your innermost driving factor that will sustain your happiness later on in life.
