How is BITS Goa compared to BITS Pilani? Is the placement and faculty much better at Pilani? Is BITS Goa a good viable option?

NB
Nishchay Bhalla Posted On : March 21st, 2023
studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (2018)

When comparing BITS Pilani with BITS Goa, there are several factors that you should consider before making your decision:

  • Alumni strength: Pilani has a much older and more established campus, which means it has a larger alumni network in key positions in the government and private sectors. Goa, being a newer campus, has had a head start of only 19 years compared to Pilani's 59 years.
  • Student quality: Pilani has slightly smarter students than Goa, based on the difference in cutoffs between CSE + core branches in Pilani and Goa. The average difference is around 25, and for MSc branches, it's about 15-20. This points to the fact that Pilani folks are slightly smarter and more hardworking than Goa students, at least before joining the college.
  • Placements: BITS Pilani has an excellent placement record, with a 31.5% increase in average salary and a 35% increase in the highest salary over the previous year. The highest salary was INR 60.75 LPA, and the average salary was INR 30.7 LPA, with 109 recruiters participating in the placement drive. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Visa, Adobe, and Cisco are among the top recruiters. While BITS Goa also has a consistently good placement record, it is slightly behind BITS Pilani in terms of average and highest salaries.
  • Faculty: BITS Pilani has a larger and more established campus with highly qualified and experienced faculty, but BITS Goa also has talented and experienced faculty.
  • Infrastructure: Both campuses have good infrastructure, but BITS Pilani has a larger campus and more facilities, which can sometimes make a difference in the quality of education.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to choose BITS Pilani or BITS Goa should be based on your personal preferences and goals. While BITS Pilani may have a slight edge in terms of faculty and infrastructure, BITS Goa is also a good viable option with a good reputation.

Which is better, Delhi University or Mumbai University?

MU
Manish Upadhay Posted On : May 12th, 2022
M.A. in English (Hons.) from Mumbai University, Kalina (2017)

Delhi University is a better option. It is a central university, while MU is a state university. DU receives humongous funding from the central government. Naturally, it stands much higher than any state university including MU. It offers better education, infrastructure, and research opportunities. 

DU has hardly 100 affiliated colleges. So, it’s easier for the administration to make sure the education process is smooth. MU has over 1100 colleges. Handling so many colleges, hampers the fundamentals of education, at times. 

Overall, DU is more organized and offers better education and learning opportunities.

How good are DTU, BITS , NSIT and IIIT Delhi, as compared to each other in terms of placements and research opportunities?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : August 23rd, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

All the aforementioned institutes, DTU, BITS, NSIT, and IIIT Delhi are excellent colleges that are well-recognized in the tech sector. As a whole the curriculum and placement opportunities for CS offered by these colleges are quite similar. The average package varies slightly but the individual differences compensate for that. Here is a comparative analysis of the placement statistics of these colleges 

Institute

Number of recruiters

Number of Offers

Average CTC

Top Recruiters

IIIT Delhi

760

INR 23.72 LPA

Qualcomm, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, MathWorks, Dell,

DTU

2459

INR 15.16 LPA

Samsung, Instabase, Atlassian, Sprinklr, Amazon

NSIT

INR 16 LPA (Median)

Microsoft, Amazon, Texas Instrument, Google, Qualcomm

BITS Pilani

109

329

INR 30.37 LPA

Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Visa, Adobe, Cisco,

However, if you look from the angle of research , IIIT Delhi certainly is way ahead than the other colleges. Its research-oriented institute is primarily established to conduct cutting-edge research in the field of CS. While BITS Pilani also has a decent research culture, DTU, and NSUT are nowhere near IIIT Delhi in terms of research. IIIT Delhi students have a lot of projects to work on under highly learned and passionate faculties. The exposure these students receive is unmatched and they are offered excellent opportunities in terms of both in industry and for higher education.

So if you want both excellent placements and research opportunities go for IIIT Delhi but if you want a good campus life too that is less focused on research go for BITS Pilani.

Are the salary packages for IIMs higher than those from JBIMS?

VR
Vivek Raj Posted On : February 20th, 2023
MMS Operations Management, Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (2018)

IIMs can be broadly categorized into two categories; the first comprising IIM ABC and the second comprising IIM KIL. The total fees will be around 16-18 Lakhs or a few lakhs more for these IIMs. As far as the average package is concerned for IIM ABC, it is around 19-20 Lakhs while for IIM KIL it is merely 2 lakhs less. The highest CTC is around 60-70 (International) for these IIMs.

Coming to JBIMS, we get to witness a much higher ROI. This is because the average package is almost similar to these IIMs while the fees are much less. Also, it is a Mecca for Finance enthusiasts. JBIMS has many notable alumni that carry its brand name proudly. Some of them include

  • Vinita Bali, Managing Director of Britannia
  • Chanda Kochhar, Managing Director & CEO, ICICI Bank, India
  • Nitin Paranjpe, CEO and Managing Director, Hindustan Unilever Ltd
  • Ajay Piramal, chairman of Piramal Healthcare

So yes, the salary packages of certain IIMs might be slightly higher than that of JBIMS but considering the ROI factor that slightly differs doesn't really matter.

Which is better: NALSAR or NLU-D?

AB
Akash Bisht Posted On : August 31st, 2021
B.A.L.L.B (Hons) from National Law University, Delhi (2022)

Having to know some people studying at both these institutes, I can say for a fact that if you want the original and the true CLAT experience then NALSAR would be the better option. But overall NLU-D is much better. They make the students academically strong and industry-ready. 

NLU- D stands out due of several reasons: -

  • NLU-D has established its name in the top institutes in a span of 10 years. It will no doubt beat NALSAR one day too.
  • It has a fantastic faculty and infrastructure. 
  • Moreover, NLU- D receives funds from the Delhi government to maintain the facilities provided to the students. Therefore the facilities provided are world-class.
  • NLU- D conducts national and international competitions and pays all the expenses of the participants
  • Being in Delhi, it receives better industrial exposure. 
  • This helps in great internship opportunities. It also has guest lecturers visiting continuously from the High Court, Supreme Court and the Parliament.
  • It is considered as the leader in the fields of litigation and other legal studies.
Categories Nalsar NLU-D
Course Fee 6.11 - 8.55 lakh 4.28 lakh
Highest CTC 10-12 LPA 10-12 LPA
Average CTC 5-7 LPA 6 LPA
Recruiting Companies Byju’s, S&P Global, Deloitte, Colgate, etc. AZB, Luthra, TTS, etc.

NLU-D is the better option of the two considering placement, faculty, academics and infrastructure. Both NALSAR and NLU-D are one of the most reputed Law colleges of India. Both the institutes have some advantages and disadvantages when compared to each other. Both of these institutes are highly rated. So choose according to your preferences.

  • Location: Undoubtedly, PEC Chandigarh seems to be at an advantage here. Chandigarh is a much more happening place. It’s a perfect place for students planning to appear for civil services, GATE, etc 
  • Placements: The table below draws a brief comparison of the placement statistics of these institutes

INR 1.15 CPA

INR 1.15 CPA

So I don’t think there is much difference between the placement scenarios at IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta.
