What advice would you give to a first-year engineering student of information technology at the Maharaja Surajmal Institute of Technology?

RD
Radhika Dua Posted On : June 2nd, 2021
B. Tech. Information Technology, Maharaja Surajmal Institute of Technology (2019)

One of my friends is from Maharaja Surajmal. According to him, there are many reviews, so he wanted to share his authentic experience. The points listed below are some advice you may find important -

  • Socializing inside the campus is good. Making friends generates good peer-to-peer learning and habits. 
  • MSIT has an excellent senior junior bonding. Interacting with seniors helps a lot in every aspect.
  • Lectures are interactive. It is mandatory to have 75% attendance. But, there are students with very little attendance but good internal and end semester results.
  • Attending practical classes is necessary. 
  • A good relationship should be maintained with all lab assistants. Some of them are very senior attendants, and even respected by professors. 
  • The lab assistants are the only people to help students out during external exams.
  • The college life in MSIT is quite good, but students should not expect a lot from the administration about facilities and extra-curricular activities. 
  • It is a fact that the institute is just an affiliated college of IP University, and not as good as DTU or NSIT.

Therefore, these are some of the on-ground facts of MSIT that will help students make their college life better on the campus.

Will I get IT in IIIT Allahabad with the JEE Mains rank of 5894? Will the future be bright after graduating from IIIT Allahabad?

NR
Naman Raheja Posted On : March 26th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2019)

You can definitely try and apply for it. IIIT Delhi is also feasible for you or you could also go for NSIT Delhi / DTU / IIIT Delhi. You might end up with ECE or IT at NSIT Delhi, Software or IT at DTU, ECE or CSE at IIIT Delhi.

  • Your future completely depends on the marks, your aggregate percentage/ GPA, PORs, and skills in your resume once you graduate. 
  • Probably every college in India has good placements in CSE /IT/ Software Engineering but if you take a lot of interest in programming or developing apps, OS, big data, security, ML, AI, Computer vision, etc, you will definitely bag a great MS/Ph.D. admission or even a well-paid reputed job. 
  • You just need to put lots and lots of effort into this and not play games with your college percentage or GPA. Try to maintain it above 75%.
  • Top companies like Google and Facebook, regardless of your stream, are open to all branches. They just see your coding skills and overall repute. But many companies only allow CSE/ IT graduates to appear, some of them are strictly for CSE.

If you are not a CSE/ IT student, getting a coding job will be hard but not very challenging. Only if you take programming seriously, you will be selected in Google or Facebook which is equally tough.

You could even have a try at Hackathons, learn, practice new programming languages, web development, and basics of graphic designing along with the complete back-end work. Try to make some interesting apps, contribute to open source and you will see budding opportunities ahead of your way. Try not to play with the college percentage/ GPA because they decide which companies you can sit for.

Is placement of dual degree BTech+MTech(IT) any less than that of BTech IT students at IIIT Allahabad?

MR
Meghdepa Rao Posted On : June 28th, 2021
B.Tech Information Technology, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2020)

There are several sorts of dilemmas regarding the placement of dual degree B.Tech+ M.Tech students in IIIT Allahabad. Here is what I gathered from my friends at the institute.

  • For dual degree students, there are enough placement opportunities in IIIT Allahabad. There are a few companies that prefer dual degree students over B. Tech graduates too, as per their own needs.
  • Considering the placement strategies of some companies, they consider the dual degree students as overqualified candidates, and so prefer the B.Tech students over them. This is not the case with every company visiting the campus.
  • In recent times, the IIIT Allahabad placement committee is trying hard by making formal discussions with companies to allow the dual degree students to participate in internship interviews too, mostly during their intermediate semesters. This will ease the fact of partiality to some extent.

Therefore, considering the factors stated above, it is clear that dual degree students do face problems in some companies’ recruitment drives. But, they do have a good amount of placement overall.

What is the scenario of the IS branch in Acharya Institute of Technology, Bangalore?

NB
Nikunj Baid Posted On : April 13th, 2021
B.E. Mechanical Acharya Institute of Technology, Sri Krishna Institute Of Technology, Bangalore, 2020

One of my seniors graduated from the IS branch of Acharya Institutes. He has seen a considerable number of students quit because they had complaints regarding the non-payment of their salaries. They looked for better opportunities in other colleges. He did not find anything better about the department apart from the HOD and a few other lecturers.

If you are looking for employment in companies that are service-based, you will most likely get placements. If you are looking for help and motivation from your peers or faculty, you will probably be disappointed. My senior and a lot of his peers got little to no help with the same, including research activities. My senior suggests that you should choose ISE at Acharya only when you do not much have many choices and/or if you have a low rank.

In terms of rate of growth in next 4 years which would be better option: CSE, NIT Trichy or IT, IIIT-Allahabad?

AS
Arnav Singh Posted On : March 16th, 2021
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India

IIIT Allahabad has an awesome coding culture. You can note the difference when you interact with a lot of engineers from other colleges. In old engineering colleges for the first year, you would be doing foundry and welding. You might also end up learning English etc. but actual coding starts after 1st semester or in the second year. While at IIIT Allahabad coding starts from the very beginning of the course. 

Highlights:

  • IIIT Allahabad has an awesome course structure and meets the demand of current times. 
  • In IIIT Allahabad they teach C or C++ in 1st year and Java in 2nd year.
  • IIIT Allahabad lacked in Professors but then this was made up by the awesome students and seniors. 
  • The most important thing in IIIT Allahabad was how to learn. This has helped many students throughout their careers. 
  • Students in IIIT Allahabad start coding through a completely different language in just a day and it has never felt that it is a big deal because this is what was expected from IIIT Allahabad. 
  • This is because the student is expected to complete one project each semester and they will get no help from your professors.

The table shows a brief overview of the institutions.

Particulars

NIT Trichy

IIIT Allahabad

Median Salary

Rs. 6.5 lakhs

Rs. 20 lakhs

Highest Salary

Rs. 42 lakhs

Rs. 43 lakhs

Fees

Rs. 5.24 lakhs

Rs. 5.85 lakhs

Also, there is a great culture of competitive programming in the institute. There are students in other premium engineering colleges who wouldn't have coded completely their engineering. This is unheard of in IIIT Allahabad.

Which is better, IIITM Gwalior (Dual IT) vs BITS Pilani (M.Sc Bio)?

Shahid Baig Posted On : September 15th, 2020

The integrated degree program at IIITM Gwalior offers two formats; B.Tech + MBA and B.Tech + M.Tech. While most students might not go for the dual degree, it does offer an advantage over other degrees in the following terms:

  • Students can save one year of master’s degree as integrated programs are of 5 years.
  • Students also get the opportunity to opt for other courses that might not be available in mainstream B.Tech programs.
  • Students can decide on their masters after the third year; about if they want to pursue an MBA or M.Tech. In this choice, IIITM Gwalior is more famous for its M.tech degree rather than an MBA.
  • It also gives students an extra year to prepare for further exams like GSoC, ICPC, and TGMC.
  • Students are also allowed to participate in intense and advanced research projects which add value to their portfolio.
  • One potential drawback could be that an integrated program does not grant you a specific specialization. Students are only awarded an M.Tech degree. However, this factor does not affect placements and dual degree alumni get the same placement offers as mainstream master’s degree students do.
  • The student-faculty ratio in the dual degree program is also high which allows students to get personalized attention by the best research faculty on the campus.

BITSPilani also offers integrated dual degree courses, but the specialization is dependent on the overall performance of the students.

  • Students are given CS or M.Sc Bio depending on their performance in the first year of the integrated program. While M.Sc. Bio has a completely different course structure than CS, it does open several different opportunities for a career in foreign countries.
  • The Biology department at BITS Pilani is relatively reputed for its famous slogan ‘Biology at BITS is taught in a way where you’ll not have to memorize.’
  • For students who wish to pursue only CS for their integrated degree, it is important to know that getting CS in master’s has a ratio of 1:5 as compared to all other courses.
  • While purely CS students might not be looking at Bio for their Master’s, an M.Sc. in Bio from BITS is highly reputed and prompts students to go for unconventional career options.

In the end, it completely depends on the student, if they wish to pursue an integrated degree at IIITM Gwalior or BITS Pilani. However, students need to do their ground research on the modalities and course structure of these courses that are offered.

Which should I choose, CSAM at IIIT Delhi or IT at IIIT Allahabad?

RB
Rituraaj Banerjee Posted On : March 15th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad

Since you know what you are looking for, it becomes quite easy to segregate categories for you to choose which place you want to go. Do all-around research and look at various categories like crowd, course curriculum as well as the faculty before making a decision. Here are some points that may help you out.

Faculty: One point where IIIT A might lag is the faculty. Being a top college, you might expect it to have some of the top-notch faculty in the country. However, it is more of a mix of government college faculty with some average teachers and others that are really well-versed in their subjects. IIIT D on the other hand has better faculty who have a rational approach to the subject of computer science. IIIT D definitely tops here.

Course Curriculum: You will find some of the best course curricula at IIIT A. You will be introduced to the subjects of computer science right from the very first semester. A major plus point is that there are no interdisciplinary subjects like ED that will be included.

Crowd: As far as crowds are concerned, both places have the same crowd. IIIT A might be slightly better as they do not hold any state-based preferences or quotas.

Coding Culture: The coding culture at IIIT A is one of the best in the country. This college is the pioneer college that represents our country in some of the most major competitive coding platforms. Just recently, 12 students were even selected for GSOC from IIIT A. IIIT D is still in its nascent days as far as coding is concerned.

Infrastructure: This is one point where both colleges are at par with each other. Both are good as far as basic amenities are concerned.

Lastly, you should know that IIIT A is a college with a national reputation. It will definitely give you the upper edge when you go for your masters. This is probably not the case with IIIT D. However, if you are looking for good faculty and a city atmosphere, go to IIIT D.

  • IIITG is renowned to motivate you to think and implement your theories in places not most people have thought of before. VIT clearly missed out on it.
  • You will find that the questions are seldom asked in IIITG examinations. In a nutshell, you are likely to find not any repeated questions in any course throughout the B.Tech course, unlike of course VIT.
  • IIITG tremendously focuses on the research sectors.

VIT is a reputed institute that is known to get you a job in the placement. If you’re willing to enter the job sector soon, join VIT.

Is a dual degree (specialization software) from IIIT Allahabad better than a B.Tech in Computer science from VNIT Nagpur, SVNIT Surat, MANIT Bhopal, or NIT Kurukshetra?

TD
Tania Dey Posted On : March 26th, 2021
Studied at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2019)

It won’t be good to compare the Dual Degree of one place to B. Tech of another. However, B. Tech (IT) from IIIT Allahabad is definitely better than B. Tech (CS) of all the NITs that have been mentioned.

Keep in mind that IIITs, NITs are next to IITs in terms of excellence in the Indian Scenario. But it doesn’t mean that NITs are ranked right next to IITs as the second ones. If you want a corporate job, you need to ruin a precious one year of your life for the dual degree.

Categories

IIIT Allahabad

Course Fee

6.65 lakh

Course Duration

5 years

A dual degree implies that you have made more effort than the normal degree students. You have gathered knowledge in additional subjects, which is better. This also means that your time has always been shared between projects. But companies tend to lean towards the ones who have done their degrees separately.

If you are willing to put in an effort, you should definitely go for dual degree courses with a strong commitment and determination. Towards the end, all that matters is, how much skill you have gained and how you put into use for the effective problem-solving at work that you are doing.
