Question Answer

Ques. Which is better: IIT Guwahati CSE or IIT BHU CSE?

● Top Answer By Sharad Dev on 20 Mar 23

Ans.  Instead of recommending any specific institute, there are some myths that need to be debunked first: Placements at one institute are better than the other. BHU has a wider network. IITG has a cooler administration. You must compare the two courses based on the following features: Academic research Placement statistics Competitive coding Open-source development Other club activities Climate and geography Connectivity (and distance from hometown) If you're specifically interested in CSE, then the first four points are almost equal for both BHU and Guwahati. When it comes to the other points, IITG has a better climate, while Varanasi may be better connected and nearer to your hometown. So, it's up to you to weigh the pros and cons and decide which institute suits you better. Remember to make an informed decision and choose wisely.Read more

Ques. How is the placement in CSE at IIT Guwahati?

● Top Answer By Pranay Pednekar on 20 Mar 23

Ans. Around 90% of students at IIT Guwahati are successfully placed and the placements are considered to be the best. It's important to note that the remaining students who weren't placed actually opted for higher education in other reputed universities. Top recruiters like Uber, Samsung, Microsoft, Google, and JP Morgan visit the university with the highest package offered by Uber being INR 2.2 Crore and the lowest package being INR 15 LPA . The average salary package for Computer Science Engineering (CSE) is INR 29 LPA . In terms of internships, students were offered INR 2 lacs per month by companies such as Uber and Microsoft. A majority of students tend to choose careers in software development and web development.  In 2022, the highest packages have been offered by Microsoft and Google. Around 90-92% of students secured excellent internships and every student is satisfied with their internship experience. Companies visit the campus during the third year, providing students with ample opportunities to pursue their career aspirations.Read more

Ques. How is ECE at IIT, Guwahati?

● Top Answer By Sohini Ghose on 03 May 23

Ans. ECE department of IIT Guwahati is known for its excellent research work and quality of education. The department has many professors who are specialized in Signal processing and related areas of electronics. However, the VLSI and Microelectronics group has less number of faculties around 5-6 while electromagnetics and microwaves with only two faculty. The reason why I am telling you about the faculty count is that the optional courses and projects offered will be having approximately the same ratio of streams as that of faculty expertise. For those interested in a core career or research work need to consider this point seriously.  If you aren’t sure about your career prospects yet, explore options like IT, financial service, or MBA.

Ques. How is the Mathematics and Computing in IIT Guwahati?

● Top Answer By Rithi Dasgupta on 03 May 23

Ans. For a genuine math lover, Mathematics and Computing program at IIT Guwahati is a literal treat. You need to be proficient in Math to take up this course. The syllabus includes core math concepts combined with knowledge of CS as well. Towards the end, the math is confined to statistics and finance. The syllabus is not very flexible initially but becomes so in the last two semesters. Here are a few pros and cons pertaining to the course Pros : The MnC branch boasts excellent placements second only to the CS department. The placement percentage stood at 91.94%. Out of the total 62 students that opted for placements, 57 were able to secure decent jobs. However, finance firms and banks are yet to realize the true potential of this department. One can get an INR 20 LPA by doing a decent internship and maintaining a good CGPA. Excellent Master's opportunities are even better than CS students. This is the best option for those planning to get a master's abroad. To upgrade your CV, you can do internships and choose electives accordingly. All this will increase your chances of admission to CSE, data science, finance, and mathematics. Job opportunities: This program has excellent opportunities in terms of jobs as well as research and many fields are open to hire students of this course.  Cons The rigidity of the syllabus makes it the jack of all trades master of none. You cannot choose the elective according to your interest during the initial years. Many useless courses add to the overall workload with no increase in knowledge. Those who aren’t into finance may find it difficult to cope with it as it’s impossible to drop finance courses during the initial years. In the near future when the IT industry will be at its peak, MnC might be better than CSE in terms of monetary benefits. If you aren’t certain about your area of interest, then Maths and Computing are definitely better than all core branches except CS. Read more

Ques. Did I make a mistake by choosing IIT Guwahati CSE over IIT Varanasi CSE?

● Top Answer By Aditi Banerjee on 04 May 23

Ans. It's difficult for me to say whether choosing IIT Guwahati CSE over IIT Varanasi CSE was a mistake without more information about your specific circumstances and goals. Both IIT Guwahati and IIT Varanasi are highly respected institutions, and both offer strong Computer Science programs that are rightly comparable in almost every aspect. The placement scenario is similarly decent at both institutes with very little emphasis on research. The active Coding Club/ CSEA at IIT Guwahati gives it a slight edge over others. Both the institutes are excellent choices for whatever you want to do after graduation be it research, open source development, or a stable job. The only distinguishing feature is the weather as IIT Guwahati has better weather conditions than IIT BHU. However, this flaw is compensated by better connectivity of Varanasi being on the mainland. Read more

Ques. What should I choose between NIT Surathkal CSE and IIT Kanpur civil chemical

● Top Answer By Aditi Banerjee on 19 Apr 23

Ans. I would recommend you choose IIT over NIT any day irrespective of the branch because it is recognized globally. The quality of packages and roles offered are also better and with the right motivation and determination, one can even change his branch to a better one. At IIT Kanpur, I would advise you to go for Chemical rather than Civil. BTech Chemical Engineering combined with Masters in Petroleum Engineering is the highest paying bracket in the USA with more than 74000 Jobs available for outsiders in the Middle East, US, and Canada at a five yr median of $ 18600. Additionally, at IIT Kanpur the ocean of electives to choose from enables you to pursue CS course side by side through certifications in 64/128/256 bit SSL Encryption, Data Structures, and Oracle which have great importance. While CS students can be found everywhere, you will find only a few Chemical Engineers. Concludingly, it’s best to go for IIT Kanpur Chemical for the long term or IIT Kanpur Civil with a branch change to EEE or Mechanical in mind.Read more

Ques. Which is a better option: IIT Bombay mechanical vs IIT Kanpur electrical vs IIT Roorkee CS?

● Top Answer By Vaibhav Bansal on 25 Jun 24

Ans. The general preference order is  College wise - IIT Bombay > IIT Kanpur > IIT Roorkee Branch wise - CS > Mechanical ~ Electrical. However, this is a popular trend, and you don't have to follow it. It is best to make a decision based on your individual preferences. Doing something that interests you is considerably superior in the long run to doing something you dislike solely for money since, after a few years, money no longer motivates you. Here are some information to make your decision easier:- The placement scenario for EE in IIT Kanpur is good and stands next to the CS department in the table. Though EE is the largest department when compared with others it still maintains its record well in placements. The NIRF Ranking of IIT Bombay is 3 , IIT Kanpur is 4 and IIT Roorkee is 5 . The Average placement at IIT Bombay Mechanical is 21.82 LPA with IIT Kanpur Electrical is 26.27 LPA and IIT Roorkee CSE is 22 LPA. More than 250 companies visited IIT Kanpur campus in 2023. EE offers specialisations like VLSI, SPCom, RF & Microwave, Power Engineering, Control & Automation . Placements for some of these specializations are  100 %, especially for VLSI, SPCom & RF. Keeping aside the public’s opinion, my preference order is  IIT Kanpur Electrical > IIT Roorkee CS > IIT Bombay Mechanical Read more

Ques. Should I take up IIT Kanpur Biological Sciences and Bioengineering and then try for a branch change?

● Top Answer By Vidhita Kapoor on 22 Apr 23

Ans. Most students join IITs with the mindset of changing their branch to a more preferred one after the first year. But in reality, once you come here you will realize that branch hardly matters here. This is because most students, especially those with no specific area of interest, which seems to be your case too, tend to go for non-core jobs for which the branch does not matter. What matters is your CPI and your overall profile and achievements. Those adamant about changing their branch can avail of the facility easily. The branch change depends on 2 factors, your CGPA and the availability of seats in the branch you want to get changed into. For Civil, Material Science, Aerospace, and Physics, you need a CGPA of around 6.5–7.5 For Economics, Mathematics Scientific Computing, Chemical, and Mechanical you need a CGPA of around 7.5–8.5 For Mechanical or Electrical, you need an 8.6+ CGPA For CS, you will need nothing less than a 10 CGPA in both the semesters  Honestly, it’s almost impossible to get a branch change into top branches like Mech, Electrical, or CSE. The chances are rare but worth trying. Most companies consider students from all the departments for placements. So, IIT Kanpur is a good option whether you want a branch change or not.Read more

Ques. Which one is better: aerospace engineering in IIT Kanpur, aerospace engineering in IIT Madras, mechanical engineering IIT BHU, or ECE in IIT BHU?

● Top Answer By Lovish Bajaj on 21 Jun 24

Ans. I am a student of B.Tech Aerospace at IIT Madras. IIT Madras is a top engineering institution in India, and a degree from here can easily land you an offer to complete your higher education in Ivy League colleges (if you are among the top 10% in your batch). You may even land a job offer at prestigious institutions like ISRO once you graduate.  Here is a comparison among IIT Kanpur, IIT Madras and IIT BHU: Parameters IIT Madras Aerospace IIT Kanpur Aerospace (2024, Phase 1 placements) IIT BHU Mechanical IIT BHU Electronics NIRF 2023 Engineering Ranking 1 4 15 15 Highest CTC 2023 INR 66.26 LPA - INR 91.19 LPA INR 50 LPA Average CTC - INR 20.1 LPA INR 21.95 LPA INR 29.56 LPA Median CTC 2023 INR 14.10 LPA INR 17.7 LPA INR 18.12 LPA INR 30 LPA Top Recruiters HUL, ISRO, DRDO, and other aviation companies. Eaton, GE, Airbus, Honeywell, ISRO, L&T , etc.  Maruti, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, etc. Microsoft, Google, Samsung, Bosch, etc.  It is evident from the following data that in terms of placements, the Mechanical and Electronics branches of IIT BHU are better. But if you have the slightest interest in Aerospace Engineering, IIT Madras will open plenty of opportunities for you in this sector. If research/higher studies interest you, IIT Madras is the best option due to its superior reputation. You’ll get to work at some of the best organizations like HUL, ISRO, and DRDO. Moreover, you’ll be exposed to world-class infrastructure, and some of the best professors.  So if you have an interest in Aerospace Engineering, I would suggest you opt for IIT Madras over all the other options. Read more
