How is the MTech (research) CS program of IISC Bangalore in terms of placements?
In IISc Bangalore, the MTech (Research) students sit for placements along with MTech (Course) students. In fact, MTech (Research) students are often treated as rivals by the course students. Here are a few reasons for their differences
- The research students have lesser courses than course students, rendering them more time to prepare for placements.
- Secondly, research students sit for placements in their third year while the course students sit in their second year.
- MTech Research students generally start their research work in their second semester itself so they become better researchers and are able to secure the best job profiles.
Because of the above reasons, the majority of MTech (Research) students get placed better than course students. These research students usually go into 3 streams, theory, systems, and intelligent systems. The placement scenario for each has been given below
- Theory: Theory students might face issues in system-based companies especially if they lack coding skills. These students are usually proficient in math and thus lack skills in systems. However, a 3-month dedicated preparation can get them placed excellently.
- Systems: These students are easily placed in top companies such as Oracle, Nutanix, Microsoft, and many more.
- Intelligent Systems: These students are hired by companies such as Flipkart, Amazon, Microsoft, etc.
Although research is time-consuming, the light coursework helps the research students prepare for placements. Over the past few years, MTech (Research) students receive packages around INR 22 LPA and the scenario is just going to get better!
Should I take CSE at BIT Mesra or NIT Jamshedpur?
The best way to determine the right choice between CSE at BIT Mesra or NIT Jamshedpur is to go through a comparative analysis of both colleges. Consider the following parameters
- Campus : BIT is a private engineering college so it obviously has better infrastructure and a well-maintained campus. Its location also is quite favorable in contrast to Jamshedpur. NIT Jamshedpur campus is also decent although not at or with BIT Mesra.
- Infrastructure : Both the institutes have well-equipped computer Labs and other facilities.
- Degree : BIT Mesra offers a degree of Bachelor of Engineering (BE) whereas NIT Jamshedpur offers a degree of B.Tech (Hons)
- Placement : Most companies that visit BIT also come to NIT. BIT Mesra's average package last year stood at INR 13.01 LPA while NIT Jamshedpur's average package was recorded at INR 14.72 LPA last year.
- Ragging : NIT Jamshedpur has a ragging-free campus while there are rumors of ragging incidents at BIT Mesra.
- Fees: NIT Jamshedpur fees are much less in comparison to NIT Jamshedpur. The first-year fees at NIT Jamshedpur are 1.88 Lakhs (1st Year Fees) while that at BIT Mesra is INR 3,03,500/Y
Both the colleges offer similar opportunities with minor differences. So if you want the NIT tag, Hons degree, and lower fee then go to NIT, else BIT Mesra is the one for you.
Is there a semester system in IGNOU for BA courses?
No, there is no semester system in IGNOU for BA courses. In IGNOU students are enrolled in two cycles (January and June). The submission of assignments and TEE (Term End Examination) is scheduled once a year.
Although assignments can be submitted only once a year, there is a high chance that if you fail to appear in May or December TEE, you can appear for that particular subject on another cycle.
For example, you enrolled in this course in 2021. If you wish to appear for June 2022 TEE, you are required to submit the assignments by March 30 2022. If you fail to appear or pass the TEE, you can appear for the same exam in December 2022.
What kind of questions are asked in the Integrated PhD interview for Physics at IISc, TIFR, and HRI?
IISc Bangalore, TIFR, and HRI conduct interviews for the integrated Ph.D in Physics. My brother appeared for the TIFR NCBS Bangalore interview for iPh.D. in Physics.
People from different backgrounds appear for the NCBS interviews in various disciplines.
NCBS has Rounds 1 and 2 for the interviews. Round 1 lasts for 30-40 minutes. Here a candidate’s basics are tested. Round 2 lasts for 75 minutes. It involves more detailed questions which are usually based on the projects or write-ups done by a candidate.
For my brother, however, the interview went the other way around. During the first round, he was asked questions about his projects. During Round 2, he was asked detailed questions in the broad areas of Physics and Maths.
The interview experience for each candidate will be unique, whether in IISc Bangalore, TIFR, or HRI. This is especially true for NCBS as their research is not just limited to Physics, it is interdisciplinary. The interviews will help you learn something new. Prepare well for them and enjoy the process.
Which one is better: IT in IIIT Allahabad or CSE in BITS Goa?
The IT degree at IIIT Allahabad is considered one of the best in India, and it is aligned with the CSE curriculum from the best IITs and NITs in India. The professors are a mixed bag, with some highly qualified, doing good research, and teaching well, while some may be uninteresting. However, with some self-motivation, the academic landscape is quite good.
IIIT Allahabad has a great culture for programming, which can help you become a serious developer. The infrastructure is good, the campus is green, and the architecture is impressive, with the added benefit of being centrally air-conditioned.
On the downside, the city life in Allahabad is not great, especially if you come from a metro city. You may experience a cultural shock. The research environment is not exceptional, and there are only a handful of students aspiring to pursue higher education. You will find yourself in a batch of more than 200 students, in which you have to create your own identity. The weather is terrible, with extremely hot summers and cold winters (although some people may like the winters). The sports infrastructure is not the most amazing one.
In summary, here's the verdict:
- If you're interested in research and want to pursue technical education further in your career, BITS Goa may be the right choice for you.
- If you want a great Indian IT job after your degree, IIIT Allahabad may be the right choice for you.
- If you're looking for a better peer group, better girls, and a more happening city life, BITS Goa may be the right choice for you.
- If you're serious about programming and have a penchant for Competitive Programming, IIIT Allahabad may be the right choice for you.

What is the difference between EEE, EnI and ECE at BITS, Pilani?
BITS Pilani does not offer an Electronics and Communication Engineering Program. When comes to ENL and EEE, there are some key points you should keep in mind as an applicant, which are listed below
Opportunities – In the current scenario, EEE opens up more opportunities than ENL. For Instance, the Indian Engineering Examination is only applicable to students from ECE and EEE
Campus – BITS Pilani is far better than BITS Hyderabad as they have well-equipped lab and infrastructure
Placement – The three batches can sit for the placement, but the companies give more weight to Communication and Digital Signal Processing

Is it a good choice to prefer IIT Delhi textile over IIIT Delhi CSE, considering the fact that branch change is quite hard in IITD?
IIT Delhi has a much greater brand value as compared to IIIT Delhi. IIT D is superior in many aspects, one of which is campus life.
I have many friends in IITD Textile. They bagged foreign internships in the IT sector during their second year.
The coursework for Textile is very manageable. You’ll get ample time to practice coding on your own. Don’t worry about branch change. Even for a career in CS/IT, self-practice will get you through. Also, opt for the open electives offered at IIT Delhi. You’ll ace CS/IT placement tests, and secure a good job.
Thus, I would recommend you choose IIT Delhi Textile over IIIT Delhi CSE.
