What should I choose: IIT Roorkee metallurgy or NIT Warangal/Trichy CSE?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 6th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

IIT Roorkee, NIT Trichy, and NIT Warangal are well-established institutes in India. The scope of metallurgy is comparatively lower than that of CSE. IIT Roorkee mainly concentrates on textual learning and does not give the students exposure to practical learning. They are using the practice of mugging up the lessons without having a clear understanding of the topic. The placement is very poor here; the students from the metallurgy department usually end up in data analytics and coding.

So CSE at NIT Warangal and Trichy would be a better choice.

Which one should I prefer: IIIT Bangalore ECE, IIIT Lucknow CSAI or IIIT Gwalior CSE?

CS and EC are very different branches. You need to decide which branch interests you more.

EC is about electronics and how the different electrical components communicate with one another. It involves a lot of Physics. It only involves a little programming. CS, on the other hand, is all about programming. It mainly uses logic and math. 

If you are interested in programming, CSAI from IIIT Lucknow is the better choice. AI/ML is in huge demand in the industry as most things will be automated in the future. Placements and coding culture are top-notch at all these colleges. Students from IIIT Lucknow and IIIT Bangalore perform well in competitions like ACM ICPC. 

All these colleges are good. You should make your choice based on your field of interest.

Is MSU Baroda good for a BBA, or should I go for other options?

SB
Sumit Baraiya Posted On : December 29th, 2022
Studied Electrical Engineering at The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda

Your decision actually depends on the fact if you want to pursue BBA or you want to study at MSU. This is because if your sole interest is in BBA then trust me there are many better colleges for it. But if you are adamant about studying at MSU, then it’s better you search for your own interests.

I will recommend you take the aptitude test which is free in the psychology department. This test will let you decide what to study. Don’t be a part of the herd and pursue what others are pursuing. Rather follow your own interest that you will not regret later.

Why are IIM A, B, and C valued over FMS, Delhi when the difference between the fees are so high?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : July 5th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

It is true that a person’s caliber can in no way be judged from the Business School that they have graduated from. In practice, however, things work very differently.

The general assumption is that if a candidate has secured a top rank in one of the most challenging exams and studied one of the top curriculums in the country, then they are really good in their field.

IIM A, B, and C have been around for a very long time and its graduates have carved a niche for themselves in the corporate world. Most companies in India and many abroad have IIM A, B, and C graduates in top positions. The alumni spread the goodwill of these institutions in silicon valley and other parts of the world, leading to international repute. These institutions are ‘brands’. An IIM A, B, and C brand opens numerous opportunities for you.

Judging IIMs based on ROI solely is not wise. Most IIM graduates end up paying their loans in a period of 3 to 5 years. Also, keep in mind that salary does not remain constant, it keeps increasing each year. Even if you take a loan to fund your MBA, it will be worth it.

If you get the opportunity to study at IIM A, B, or C you should grab it at the earliest.

What is the performance of students in NEET PG after the MBBS course in KMC, Manipal?

SS
Shambhavi Sharma Posted On : September 30th, 2023
MBBS from Kasturba Medical College, Manipal

NEET PG is like any other entrance exam. So the UG college doesn’t really matter when giving your PG entrance. 

But it is true that your clinical postings have a bearing on the things you remember when reading your preparation material. Your exposure to clinical signs, diagnosis, radiological findings, and surgical procedures makes you remember things. A dedicated faculty, motivated peers, and hardworking seniors will have a huge impact on you. Good seniors offer tips and tricks on cracking entrance exams.

Coming to KMC Manipal, it is a premiere institute. It is at par with most government medical colleges. The alumni of this college can vouch for its good academics and campus life. 

You’ll have to prepare for your PG with efficiency and diligence. Your UG college won’t have much of a role in this regard. KMC Manipal is a good choice for an MBBS, and it will offer you all the facilities and exposure.

JU is the best option among IIIT Delhi and IIEST for CSE. Although JU is way better than IIEST in CSE placements, it is slightly behind IIIT Delhi. IIIT-D has slightly better CSE placements. But JU offers an excellent ROI which makes it the most favourable option among these colleges. Moreover, its faculty is highly experienced and learned with many Ph.D. holders in just a single department. Here are some other reasons why you should consider joining JU

  • It's the only University or Institute in India to host an international cricket team.
  • The institute has excellent sports facilities including a swimming pool, a tennis court, and an artificial wall for mountaineering and hiking.
  • The institute has an active club culture with many academically and athletically oriented clubs. Some of the unique clubs are the Science Club, Mountaineering and Hiking Club, Photography, Debate Society, and many more.
  • It was the first institute to receive TEQIP funding from the World Bank in India
  • It is an Innovation University and so is eligible for more monetary grants. 
  • 6. It has more centers of excellence in research than the number of UG branches offered at IIIT-D or IIEST.
  • It's expected to become the center of research in Eastern India
  • The ROI offered is high. Its fees are as low as INR 10,000 for the first year, while the highest package offered last year was INR 1.8 CPA.

All these points sum up the fact that JU is an excellent choice for a CSE degree.

Which should I choose: Electronics and Instrumentation in BITS Pilani Goa Campus, or Electrical and Electronics in NIT Surathkal?

ST
Sanjana Thakur Posted On : September 16th, 2023
Lives in Raipur

Since both the colleges are considered highly reputable and among the best in the country, you should focus on the branch. The choice of the branch directly depends on your inclinations and future goals. 

To make it easier for you I have explained each branch in short:

Electrical and Instrumentation: 

  • Instrumentation engineering is the engineering specialization that focuses primarily on the principle and operation of measuring instruments that are used in the design and configuration of automated systems in electrical, pneumatic domains, etc. 
  • These engineers usually work at chemical or manufacturing plants and their job role involves improving productivity, reliability, safety, optimization, and stability. 
  • They are responsible for designing devices that measure physical quantities such as pressure, flow, and temperature. You will require a lot of knowledge in physics much more than electromagnetic theory. 

Electrical and Electronics:

  • In this students learn to design electronic circuits, and computer systems and also develop control systems. Electronics play a key role in the implementation and control of electrical machines. 
  • The course mainly focuses on designing and testing ICs, inductors, capacitors and resistors and includes fundamentals and principles of physics, mathematics, computer science, and project management. 
  • The sub-disciplines of this branch are power, control, electronics, microelectronics and Signal Processing, Telecommunications, Instrumentation and Computers.

Although the choice depends on your own interests, EE has a better scope than EIE.

Which should I choose: MBA (2 year PGP) from IIM Ahmedabad or MS in computer science from a decent (top 10 & not top 3) US university with funding? What should I consider when choosing?

MV
Mathivathan Vhallatharasu Posted On : December 13th, 2022
MBA from Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (Graduated 2021)

A friend of mine faced a similar dilemma when he was torn between choosing IIM Ahmedabad (MBA) and Stanford (MS). He went for IIM Ahmedabad in the end. He considered the following factors before making this decision:

  • Geographical factors: If you want to stay in India then MBA from IIM Ahmedabad is the best choice. But if you are certain you want to settle abroad, MS from Stanford is a good choice.

  • Nature of career: Comparing the nature of both the courses, we find that MBA is a general one while MS is specific. MBA is related to business and management while MS is technical. Based on your interests and aspirations one can easily make a choice between the two.

If you are still unable to decide then know that you can pursue MBA in the US even after MS. The latter will offer you more opportunities.

Which branch is better to join, CSE at IIT Indore or MNC (mathematics and computing) at IIT Guwahati?

SD
Souvick Das Posted On : May 4th, 2023
Software Engineer at Microsoft

My brother was in a similar dilemma last year when he had to choose between MnC IIT Guwahati and CSE IIT Indore. Eventually, he went for IIT Indore CSE. The main reason he decided against going for the MnC program was his lack of interest in Math. And when we talk about Math at IIT, trust me when I say it’s at another level. It’s purely proof-based and high-level Math that can be handled only by true Math lovers. The academic workload is also high with 60% Math and 40% CS courses.

Now, here are a few points that might convince you to join IIT Indore instead

  • IIT Indore qualified for ACM-ICPC World Finals thrice. This in itself is quite an achievement considering this event's importance.
  • As per HackerRank, IIT Indore is said to have the best coders in the whole country. Additionally, it’s at the 8th position globally for the best coders
  • IIT Indore has an extensive alumni base who completed their Master's from top foreign universities like Stanford, Caltech, University of Columbia. Many talented alumni also increase the credibility of the institute by working at reputed firms like Google and Facebook.
  • This year, the CS department recorded 100% placements with the highest and average packages standing at INR 48.5 LPA and INR 30.32 LPA respectively.

Overall, IIT Indore CSE is a much better choice than MnC IIT Guwahati considering the work of and job opportunities.

Lives in Pune, Maharashtra, India

Here is a detailed analysis of the aforementioned colleges based on some common aspects

  • Branch: Electronics and E&TC are two very different branches covering many different subjects. So it’s best to go through the syllabus and then decide the branch of your choice.
  • Academics: Academically, VIT Pune and WCE Sangli are better choices than MIT and POCT mainly because both are autonomous and have a pointer scale and thus scoring a good CGPA is easier.
  • Fees: WCE charges the least among these colleges mainly because it’s a government-funded college. PICT charges fewer fees in comparison with MIT and VIT.
  • Location: All three institutes namely PICT, MIT & VIT, are in Pune so enjoy great location benefits

Hope you make a wise choice!
