Should I go for MDI Gurgaon, if I am already earning 7lpa keeping in mind the fees, and are the placements good enough to cover my opportunity cost for the 2 years?

PT
Prathmessh Todkar Posted On : February 21st, 2023
Worked at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

If you are already earning a salary as high as INR 71 LPA, I don’t think an MBA from MDI Gurgaon will do you any good. If you have decided on going for an MBA nevertheless, target the top B Schools like IIM A, IIM B, IIM C, XLRI, FMS, or IIM L. Choosing MDI for MBA is recommended only if you have offers from average B Schools like new IIMs, SPJIMR, NITIE, etc. 

So first you need to get maximum calls from the top B Schools only then can you make a wise and informed decision.

What is better: EEE at BITS Hyderabad or CS at VIT Vellore?

SK
Sanjana Kapoor Posted On : December 22nd, 2023
BITS(Goa)

As a former EEE student at BITS Goa, I would not recommend taking up EEE at BITS Hyderabad if you want a career in the field of software engineering. 

Here are the reasons why-

  1. The coding involved in EEE is not enough. You’ll code in MATLAB, which is rarely used in the IT sector. You’ll have to devote extra time to learning Python, Java, and other languages. 
  2. CS involves much more than coding, all of which you’ll miss out on.
  3. Elective courses like OS, DSA, Comp Arch have very limited seats, and not everyone gets to pick them. Also, you’ll get these courses by your third or fourth year. By then you’ll either be under too much pressure to complete your main syllabus or it’ll be too late because the placement season will have begun.
  4. Top IT companies don’t open for non CS candidates, and even for the companies that do, you’ll have to compete with CS students.
  5. BITS will give you all the necessary exposure, quality education and opportunities. However, as a non IT student you’ll still find difficulty in getting an IT job via campus placements.

Based on all these points, I would recommend choosing CSE at VIT for better job prospects in the IT sector.

Which is a better choice at NIT Silchar, Mechanical or CSE?

LC
Lipika Chakraborty Posted On : August 25th, 2023
B.tech from National Institute of Technology Silchar (2020)

Most students, freshly out of school, try to choose an Engineering branch for themselves. You might be someone who has a deep passion for either Mechanical or CSE. In that case, I would advise you to follow your heart. 

But if you think not opting for CSE is a bad decision, just ask yourself why you would consider CSE. Is it because you did some coding in your school days and wish to enter into that field, or simply because CSE is popular. Don’t be in the illusion of liking a branch just because everyone is recommending it. Also, don’t go for any branch solely because it has better placements than the other. As long as you enjoy a particular field, you will get good offers.

NIT Silchar

Mechanical is a good branch at NIT Silchar. Moreover, as research has become increasingly interdisciplinary in nature, various departments collaborate with one another these days. Even Mechanical has a good involvement of CSE- Robotics, CFD, etc. all involve high level coding and the knowledge of Data Structures. Because today most campuses witness IT placements more than core profiles, I would highly recommend you consult the alumni of Mechanical to figure out what placements are like in ground reality.

These are the 2022 placement stats for both the branches at NIT Silchar-

Also, NIT Silchar offers a branch change after the 2nd semester. This is based on your performance in the first two semesters. In case you feel dissatisfied with your choice, you can opt for branch change as well. 

For your first year (whichever branch you choose) maintain good grades, talk to your seniors and explore your stream.

Regarding your question on whether or not to choose BIT Mesra for your CSE, I would say that the CSE course at BIT Mesra is quite good. Here are a few colleges for CSE that are superior to BIT Mesra according to me- NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, NIT Surathkal, NIT Calicut, NIT Rourkela, NIT Allahabad, and MNIT Jaipur. 

As far as placements are concerned, they are top notch for the CSE branch at BIT Mesra. During the 2022 placements, 113 out of 124 eligible students were placed. The lowest package stood at INR 4 LPA, the average package at INR 19.27 LPA and the highest package at INR 58.33 LPA. The median package was recorded at INR 16 LPA. The companies that visited the BIT Mesra campus for CSE placements were- Micorosoft, Wells Fargo, Walmart, GS, Paytm, Vmware, KPMG, Oracle, MMT, Atlassian, Lowe’s, Whitehat Jr., JF, among others. Media.net, Amazon, Disney, Indeed, Google, American Express, etc. visited the campus after September. 

For the IT branch at BIT Mesra, the companies that offered placements were- Amazon, Microsoft, Mindtickle, JF, GS, Paytm, DE Shaw, Whitehat Jr., Walmart, Atlassian, SWYM, Oracle, KPMG, Vmware, etc. In IT, 56 out of 59 eligible students were placed. The average salary stood at INR 20.58 LPA. The highest, median and lowest package was the same as that for CSE.

Basically, if you do not get a top NIT for your CSE, you should choose BIT Mesra. It has good placements for this course.

Which is better for neurosurgery, CMC Vellore or AIIMS Delhi?

PA
Puneet Aarya Posted On : June 8th, 2023
MBBS from All India Institute of Medical Sciences

To pursue a specialization as complex as Neurosurgery, AIIMS is definitely the best choice. CMC Vellore is also a leading medical institute but the brand and credibility of AIIMS are unmatched.

A few highlights of the institute that makes it worth choosing are 

  • AIIMS has a well-adapted system, a huge patient load, modern technology, renowned consultants, and well-equipped theaters. 
  • AIIMS has a well-managed patient management protocol and executes the latest techniques in its surgical practice.
  • AIIMS provides an excellent cadaveric training facility with frequently conducted cadaveric courses.
  • AIIMS also has animal training labs where you can expertise on your microsurgical skills.
  • Delhi, the capital of India is the huh of everything. A city life, opportunities, hangout places, and coaching institutes. 
  • Surprisingly enough, CMC Fees are much higher than AIIMS even though the salary at AIIMS is more than double of CMC.

Again, I don’t consider CMC any less but the above points are in strong favor of AIIMS.

Which college is good for MBA, Nirma University, Symbiosis Pune or Narsee Monjee Mumbai?

AR
Arpit Rane Posted On : May 4th, 2022
studied at Nirma University

NMIMS is the best option among these. The strategic location, excellent placement, and brand value put NMIMS ahead of the other institute mentioned in the question. 

NMIMS is located at the financial hub of Mumbai. The campus is just an hour or an hour and a half drive away from commercial and industrial spaces like Bandra Kurla Complex, Navi Mumbai, South Bombay, etc. Due to the locational advantage students can easily attend industrial visits of reputed organizations like TOI, Pepsico, JPMC, etc.

NMIMS Mumbai placements are way ahead of the B-Schools in the same tier. Even with a batch size of 500+, the institute offers an average CTC of INR 23.07 LPA.

How is the post-MBBS MCh Neurosurgery course in NIMHANS? Will you acquire a good skill set and have a good learning curve there?

AD
Adrita Das, Posted On : September 30th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (2017)

NIMHANS is an excellent choice for those who are only interested in neurosurgery and are certain of pursuing a career in the same. However, you won’t be learning anything about general surgery. You’d do a craniotomy for EDH evacuation in a trice but will have a major problem putting your finger on an offending appendix.

Ultimately, if you are making this choice just because you want to pursue MCh directly, it’s better to reconsider your decision. 5-years is a long time to waste on something you aren’t sure of. So choose wisely after considering all options.

I am too confused between CSE at DTU/NSIT and IIT Jodhpur. What should I do?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 27th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

I can never stop emphasizing this, no matter how many options you have always go for the one that gives you the IIT tag.

 I am not saying Engineering colleges like NSIT and DTU aren’t good but they are in the developing phase while IIT Jodhpur is in its developing phase. This means it will only get better. Despite being a new IIT, its average package this year was recorded at INR 21.30 LPA, which is a great feat for a new college. 

Additionally, IITs receive more funding from the government to provide better research and project opportunities. Specifically speaking about CSE, this year the highest INR 56 LPA was bagged by BTech CSE. The placement percentage stood at 97% while the average package for CSE was recorded at INR 23 LPA. 

DTU and NSIT may have higher placement statistics but they lack what IIT Jodhpur offers, the most coveted IIT tag! So choose wisely.
