Which is better for CSE, NIT Warangal or Surathkal?

KS
Kalyan Shastri Posted On : August 18th, 2023
Lives in Warangal

In my opinion, if you are getting a top NIT, then choosing CSE will be a better decision unless you are interested in any other specific branch. As far as comparing the CSE branch in Warangal and Surathkal, both offer similar opportunities and academic experience. 

Given all the similarities, choosing one between these two NITs depends more on your personal choices such as proximity to home and crowd. If you are from the home state of Karnataka choose Surathkal but if you are from the home state of Warangal, choose NIT Warangal.

I would recommend you to go for NIT Warangal as it has better opportunities if you are inclined towards research. The alumni base is huge and there is even an innovation garage where the ideas of students are implemented.

Evaluating and choosing colleges based on NIRF rankings is purely illogical as the criteria these ranking bodies consider are unrelated to your degree. Rather, you should consider the facilities provided by the institute and your personal preferences. That being said, IIT Jodhpur is a great choice among the aforementioned institutes. 

  • Placements: IIT Jodhpur placement scenario is like no other new IIT even giving an edge to the old IITs. IIT Jodhpur's average package is INR 17 LPA and the highest is INR 40 LPA. 
  • Infrastructure: IIT Jodhpur has a well-developed and modern infrastructure among all IITs. In fact, its campus design won the award for best campus design and is one of the biggest campuses among all IITs spreading across more than 800 acres.
  • Facilities: The institute boasts well-equipped labs and departments. IIT Patna has the fastest commercially available AI solution in the world, the DGX-2. 
  • Batch size: The small batch size ensures more resources per student. The resources you cannot use at other IITs during your UG years can be easily accessed here. At IIT Patna students working on projects in AI and ML access the computers to conduct research.
  • New branches: IIT Patna likes to keep up with the industry trends and has launched new branches like AI and Data Science, Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Civil Engineering. 
  • Hostel: The hostel facilities are no less and to get single AC rooms and decent food in the mess.
  • Campus life: IIT Patna organizes the biggest cultural fest in the North-Western part of India called Ignus which invites big stars. 
  • Course structure: The course structure is relatively flexible and students are free to choose any interdepartmental course for electives with very very few exceptions.
  • Extracurricular activities: IIT Patna targets the holistic development of its students and thus importance is given to cultural activities, dance, drama, and music clubs.

Which is better for an MA/MSc in psychology through distance learning, IGNOU or Annamalai University?

SB
Singdha Bnerjee Posted On : March 5th, 2022
Annamali University, Tamil Nadu, India

One of my friends completed his MA in Industrial Psychology through IGNOU. According to him, it is a well-thought-out course with a term-end examination, compulsory internship, and research projects. My friend also consulted with some practicing Psychologists regarding the study material. According to them, the course is at par with the regular university courses. 

The advantage of this course is that you can complete the course over a period of 5 years and examinations are taken twice each year. So, you can take examinations for 2-3 subjects each term and complete the course easily along with a full-time course or job. Study Center and Regional Center are two points of contact for IGNOU. 

Lately, there have been some issues regarding RCs and teachers in IGNOU. Going forward they need to address these issues.

You seemed to have performed quite well considering your JEE rank and BITSAT score. While most board toppers fail to do well in competitive exams, you managed to excellently score well in all competitive exams. You seem to have great opportunities ahead if you join BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus, and CSE. considering your ranks and your being a board topper, you can easily maintain an 8 +. The only major drawback is the high fees for which you can seek assistance from the institute regarding scholarships. 

Here are a few pros of BITS Pilani CSE

  • Top-notch placements
  • Excellent exposure
  • A flexible college life with responsibilities

If you face serious financial issues and are unable to get BITS, don't lose hope as other colleges offer great opportunities too. The best way to determine the worth of an institute is to evaluate it on the basis of fees, placements, campus life, and academic and professional exposure. Analyze your preferences and go for the institute that satisfies your preferences the most.

How is BBA from IGNOU?

RM
Rishabh Malhotra Posted On : November 3rd, 2022
Assistant manager-Inside Sales at Koenig Solutions (company)

Everything in life has advantages and disadvantages. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of BBA from IGNOU:

Pros:

  • IGNOU offers a BBA with a Specialization in Retailing (rather than a general BBA), which broadens your opportunities in the retail sector beyond sales and marketing.

  • Every year, you receive a certificate. As a result, you can begin working immediately after finishing your 12th grade and continue to advance each year. You don't have to wait three years for a degree before you can get a job. You can study while working.

  • Every year, you are given a project that allows you to gain real-world experience in the retail industry and complete it in retail organisations.

  • Retail Associations of India is collaborating with IGNOU-BBA. You will receive the best curriculum for it.

  • The course is written in simple language that is easy to understand, and it includes the best knowledge in the retail specialisation.

  • The cost of this course is the lowest of any university that offers distance education for BBA.

 

Cons:

  • There is no Math or Statistics subject in the entire BBA course from IGNOU, so it is entirely theoretical.

  • Unfortunately, some prestigious MBA programmes look for a Math subject in the course of graduation when accepting applications. However, there will be many colleges that will accept your degree.

  • Similarly, some government jobs require a Math subject as part of your bachelor's degree programme. However, there will be plenty of opportunities for you in the government. as well as the private sector for employment You can still apply for exams such as Bank PO, SSC, and UPSC.

  • The same exposure found in regular BBA will never be found in distance BBA. The reason for this is that you will not learn how to give presentations in front of an audience, which is essential if you are studying BBA.

This course is not offered in every city. So, before enrolling in IGNOU's BBA programme, you should contact the IGNOU regional centre in your city. Because this course is taken by a small number of students, it is only available in a few cities. However, when comparing distance universities for the course of BBA, it is recommended that IGNOU is the best because of its lower cost, reputation, and educational standard.

What is the total cost incurred in doing your MBA from NMIMS Mumbai?

S
Sneha Posted On : February 28th, 2023
Lived in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

The following answer is based on my brother’s experience at NMIMS and may vary from person to person depending on their own personal expenses and standard of living. The table below shows the NMIMS MBA fee structure.

Particulars 

Data

Total Fees

INR 23.90 Lakhs

Hostel fees (Non-Refundable)

INR 2,25,000- 3,00,000

Hostel fees (Refundable)

INR 10,000

From the above data the approximate cost is 26-27 Lakhs. The additional expenses like hanging out, fares, and miscellaneous activities can amount to 1 Lakh. 

Now let’s consider you staying in a flat and not a hostel. The MBA fees remain the same. But the living expenses are considerably cut down. My friend lives in a flat with 5 people and shared her average expenses.

  • The rental expense was 10k
  • The security deposit was 1 lakh
  • 6-8k per month for electricity bills and grocery shopping
  • An additional 2-3k for hanging out 
  • The average auto fare would be 3k per month
  • The rough average is 20k per month and if you calculate the same for 21 months it amounts to 4.2 Lakh.

The total expenses including tuition fees amount to 30-33 Lakhs. I think it’s better to go to a hostel than to a flat.

Among JADAVPUR University, ST XAVIER'S AND CALCUTTA University, which is best to pursue B. Sc. in mathematics Honors?

PP
Pablo Patranabis Posted On : January 11th, 2021
M.A Comparative Literature & Latin American Literature, Jadavpur University (2014)

Among the three mentioned universities, Jadavpur University is the best to pursue BSc in mathematics Honours without any doubt. The classes are assured regularly and rigorous for those who desire to have a future in mathematics; there should be no doubt in selecting JU. 

Comparison: (Winning Institution - Jadavpur University)

  • St. Xaviers became a university recently. A BSc degree from JU holds more value than a bachelor’s degree from St. Xaviers. 
  • Jadavpur University was ranked 196th in Asia by The World University Ranking 2020.
  • The faculty at JU is top-notch. The syllabus adopted by JU is of advantage if you want to pursue higher studies after your degree. You will have better exposure at Jadavpur through regular seminars. Attending seminars delivered by guest faculty from distinguished National institutes, and your seniors pursuing masters and Ph.D. will make an immense difference.
  • If you are choosing St. Xaviers because of the campus, you should visit the Jadavpur University campus. 
  • The classes are regular, and JU follows a rigorous pedagogy. The political environment people talk about is quite exaggerated. If you don't get involved in campus politics, it is never going to bother you. 

Jadavpur University contributes much more than just a degree that gives you quality education, which is not restricted to classroom learning. They make sure the students turn into the person they can be and gives them the confidence that no other college in Kolkata does.

PT
Pragya Tripathi Posted On : March 2nd, 2023
M.C.A from Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (Graduated 2013)

The choice of UPTU college for a B.Tech CS/IT course depends entirely on your priorities and preferences. Consider factors such as your preferred location, cost of living, city culture, security, placement opportunities, and most importantly, the quality of education offered by the college.

While the quality of education may be a factor to consider, remember that ultimately, your success in college will depend on your own dedication and effort. The atmosphere and culture of a college can have an impact, but it is not the only determining factor in making a college the "best" choice for you.

Based on these considerations, we recommend that you consider IMS Engineering College as your first choice, followed by NIET, and lastly G.L Bajaj.
