Which is better: IIT Guwahati CSE or IIT BHU CSE?

SD
Sharad Dev Posted On : March 20th, 2023
B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IITG) (Graduated 2017)

 Instead of recommending any specific institute, there are some myths that need to be debunked first:

  • Placements at one institute are better than the other.
  • BHU has a wider network.
  • IITG has a cooler administration.

You must compare the two courses based on the following features:

  • Academic research
  • Placement statistics
  • Competitive coding
  • Open-source development
  • Other club activities
  • Climate and geography
  • Connectivity (and distance from hometown)

If you're specifically interested in CSE, then the first four points are almost equal for both BHU and Guwahati. When it comes to the other points, IITG has a better climate, while Varanasi may be better connected and nearer to your hometown.

So, it's up to you to weigh the pros and cons and decide which institute suits you better. Remember to make an informed decision and choose wisely.

What should I choose between NIT Surathkal CSE and IIT Kanpur civil chemical

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : April 19th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

I would recommend you choose IIT over NIT any day irrespective of the branch because it is recognized globally. The quality of packages and roles offered are also better and with the right motivation and determination, one can even change his branch to a better one.

At IIT Kanpur, I would advise you to go for Chemical rather than Civil. BTech Chemical Engineering combined with Masters in Petroleum Engineering is the highest paying bracket in the USA with more than 74000 Jobs available for outsiders in the Middle East, US, and Canada at a five yr median of $ 18600.

Additionally, at IIT Kanpur the ocean of electives to choose from enables you to pursue CS course side by side through certifications in 64/128/256 bit SSL Encryption, Data Structures, and Oracle which have great importance. While CS students can be found everywhere, you will find only a few Chemical Engineers.

Concludingly, it’s best to go for IIT Kanpur Chemical for the long term or IIT Kanpur Civil with a branch change to EEE or Mechanical in mind.

How is Chandigarh University for CSE?

MM
Mahak Mahajan Posted On : January 24th, 2023
Studied at Chandigarh University

The placement opportunities at Chandigarh University are excellent. When it comes to CSE, students have been able to secure pay packages as high as Rs 31LPA. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Hitachi, CTS, Capgemini, Tech Mahindra, and other international brands visit the Chandigarh university campus on a regular basis. One of the most important aspects of a B. Tech in CSE is the opportunity for final-year students to receive on-the-job training, which is a significant benefit for students preparing for careers.

Much new software is provided to the students, and they are taught how to use it, as well as given support so that they can develop their own new software and continue to work with them to improve human life.

What is the prospect of production engineering in NIT Trichy?

HB
Himani Bose Posted On : March 23rd, 2021
B.Tech. Production and Industrial Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu

Many people think that production engineering is mechanical minus thermodynamics. Which is not true. Production engineering is completely different from mechanical as the subjects are different.

My friend is currently in the 4th year of production engineering, NIT Trichy and according to him, it doesn’t really have a good prospect. Here’s why:

  • While other departments have 6 subjects per semester you’ll be having 7. This can get quite hectic for you at times.
  • Despite so much hard work, placements are not good at all. You will never be treated equally to your mechanical friends, however good your profile is.
  • Although you can go into most of the mechanical engineering fields like automobiles, industrial tools making, etc. you will be paid lesser than your mechanical engineer mates.

However, if you are planning for higher studies and research, then production is a very good choice. Being a production engineer opens up the manufacturing, industrial, and mechanical higher study options too. So, if placement after B.Tech. is your focus, please look elsewhere but if you are into higher studies then surely go for it. Choose wisely.

I have 74 in B.E. Pune University. How do I convert it into a CGPA?

AP
Arun Pal, Posted On : October 22nd, 2021
studied at Savitribai Phule Pune University (2020)

Let me give you a simple formula to convert Percentage into GPA.

Convert Percentage to GPA:

  • Calculating GPA from percentage is very simple.
  • The US GPA is a 4 point scale.
  • The Indian percentage is 100% which is nothing but 100 points.
  • 25 points in percentage is equivalent to 1 point in the GPA System.

Percentage to GPA formula:

  • Divide your percentage by 100 and multiply by 4.
  • If your percentage is 74, then (74/100)*4 = 2.96

% Marks Class

  • 66 and above First Class with Distinction
  • 60-66 First Class
  • 55-60 Higher Second Class
  • 50-55 Second Class
  • 40-50 Pass Class.

Calculate CGPA for Pune University:

Percentage GPA
85-100 4
80-84 3.7
75-79 3.3
70-74 3
65-69 2.7
60-64 2.3
55-59 2
50-54 1.7
45-49 1.3
40-41 1
0-39 0

Follow these steps and you will get to know your CGPA.

Which should I choose: CSE at BITS, Goa or CSE at NIT, Trichy?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : July 19th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

I hope you are not the kind who evaluates and compares institutes solely based on their placement scenario. Here are a few things to consider while comparing CSE at BITS Goa and CSE at NIT Trichy.

  • Faculty: BITS Goa CS department has a better and more experienced faculty pool in comparison to the NIT Trichy CS department. BITS Goa has a thorough screening while recruiting and most professors are PhD holders from top colleges abroad as well from India.
  • Infrastructure: Both institutes are equally good in this aspect with top-notch infrastructure and facilities.
  • Peer group: The crowd quality is also similar considering that NIT Trichy being the top NIT attracts high-rankers while the no-reservation policy at BITS Pilani ensures only the best minds. 
  • Brand value: BIT Pilani enjoys a better brand value because of its rich legacy and wins in this aspect although NIT itself is not very bad either.
  • Fees: This is where NIT Trichy takes the lead as its BTech one-year fee is only ?1.78 Lakhs (1st Year Fees) while BITS Goa BE first-year fee is ?5.72 Lakhs.
  • Placements: BITS Goa again is the winner here although, with excellent coding skills, you can get a great job in any of the 2 institutes.

So, unless you have any financial constraints, BITS Goa is the best choice for you.

Is Sikkim Manipal University good for a B.Tech??

JB
Jiya Banerjee Posted On : September 28th, 2021
Civil Engineering (B.Tech) from Sikkim Manipal University

No, the administration is not particularly the best at Sikkim Manipal University. I know a few people from the institute and here is what they had to say about the institute. 

  • There is a huge locational disadvantage of the university, given the constant issues faced by students. Recently, they have installed an ATM machine.
  • The mess of the institute is not in its best condition. It is run by local people. They do not especially get concerned about the complaints students usually submit. The quality of food is not good even though they take exorbitant amounts of money for the food.
  • The administration doesn’t take the necessary steps to resolve the issues raised by students.
  • According to one of my friends from the CSE department they were not allowed to take industrial training from other companies.
  • The professors are not gonna invest much of their time in your project. However, your project may get rejected for silly mistakes.
  • Recently, in terms of placement, TCS rejected SMIT, while Amazon only hired students as their interns. The placement scenario is not good. 

This is everything that you should be aware of before enlisting at Sikkim Manipal University.

Is it worth joining KLE Technological University?

AS
Abhinav Singh Posted On : December 24th, 2021
B.E. Electronics and Communication Engineering, KLE Technological University (2019)

Yes, it is worth joining the KLE Technological University. One of my friends graduated from KLETECH and here are some snippets of his experience at the institute.

  • College Management - The staff in the administration especially the vice-chancellor, has great aspirations. They are trying to introduce new education methods like flipped classrooms, practical learning, industry-collaborated projects.
  • Faculty - The faculties are very cooperative. They try to finish the syllabus in time.
  • Atmosphere - The college atmosphere encourages you to pursue whatever you want. If you want to start a company you can take the help of CTIE. If you have a start-up plan, you can take help from startup street.
  • Students - Fellow students are friendly with almost no raggings. Girls-Boys interaction is a bit less.

Placements - The placement percent is increasing every year for CSE, ECE, and EEE but the Mechanical branch is struggling a bit because of the less market demand.

  • Top recruiters are Accenture, Infosys, TCS, Hexaware, Mindtree, Wipro, EVRY, DCX Technologies, etc. The top roles offered are developer, programmer, cybersecurity, etc.
  • Vikas classes are of great help to the students in terms of placements but effective only in the 6th sem.
Particulars Stats
Placement percent 90%
Highest salary INR 30 LPA
Average salary INR 6 LPA
Median salary INR 4 LPA

Overall, joining KLE Technological University will definitely be worth your time and money.
