Which is better, IIT Roorkee CS or IIT Delhi mathematics and computing (4 years)?
Both programs are equally good in their respective fields and so are the institutions offering the programs. It’s important to consider what you expect from the program and what you plan to achieve after graduation to make the right choice.
My sister was in a similar dilemma as yours and eventually, she opted for MCA from IIT Delhi.This program has many courses similar to CS but the only problem is, the pedagogy adopted has a more theoretical approach than practical. Moreover, at some point, you will start questioning the parity of the faculty and will have to resort to self-study.
But here is the bright side, most companies coming for CS placements consider MCA students too, and offer decent roles.
Although I am not well aware of the situation in Roorkee, I can guarantee a true coding lover will prefer CS to MCA any day.
How good is the Kalyani Government Engineering College?
As far as reputation is concerned, Kalyani Government Engineering college ranks in one of the top best engineering colleges in West Bengal overall. Most students who sign up for West Bengal JEE almost always end up seeking admission hereafter JU.
- Alumni: It is quite strongly built with alumni working in top-notch companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Intel, BARC, ISRO as well as DRDO. A few of them have also become professors at colleges like Imperial College, London, and a few IITs.
- Placements: The college has an average salary of INR 6 LPA with the highest expected from top-notch companies like Microsoft and Google that offer INR 30-40 LPA. Other than this, high packages also cap at INR 9 LPA with about 85% of students being placed in various companies.
- Facilities: Some of the facilities at KGEC are also well recognized. These include a strong Entrepreneurship cell, a strong IEEE network, a robotics society, a code chef team along with a decent campus, and good hostel facilities.
- Faculty: The faculty is also known to be quite approachable and are qualified for the positions they hold. Particularly, the Mechanical and Electrical department faculties are excellent.
If you are technology savvy and would like to delve into the subjects of engineering in greater depth, grow as well as hone your skills, and advance in this field, you should go definitely go to KGEC.
Which is better for an MBBS course, KMC Manipal or Mangalore?
Both IMC Manipal as well as Mangalore have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. In terms of academics, both colleges are almost similar with some of the most experienced teachers, and excellent clinical exposure. The only major difference you will see is that KMC Mangalore has a dispersed campus so you have to travel through a city while you study. Mangalore therefore offers a more flexible life and offers an environment that helps you become a more independent person.
I would recommend Kasturba Medical College even over Government Institutes for MBBS training.
How do VIT and Thapar compare?
I have a few friends from both VIT and Thapar. I will suggest you opt for Thapar University as it is one of the best colleges in this league.
Admission:
VIT and Thapar University both conduct an entrance examination for the selection of their candidates. However, VIT does not reveal the scores obtained by the candidates. At Thapar, admission is done on the basis of JEE Main marks. Moreover, both the admission and counseling procedure are translucent and there is no Management Quota. At VIT one can get admission on the basis of the category system whereas, at Thapar, the quality (merit-based) is given more preference.
Batch Size:
The number of students at Thapar University per branch is less in comparison to VIT where there is a crowd on a huge level.
FCCS System:
At Thapar FCCS system is present. It is a system that allows the students to choose the timings of their own classes and the respective teachers for those classes.
Although the facilities provided to the students at the VIT campus are exceptional you should not risk your academic career for mere facilities.
You should rather prioritize Thapar and try for a branch of your choice. If you do not get into it then opting for VIT would be better. But keep VIT as your second option.
Do students at the seven older IITs consider IIT (BHU) Varanasi an IIT?
Your question is outright demeaning the credibility of one of the oldest technical institutions in India. In its initial years, IIT Kanpur was mentored by IIT BHU. considering this do you still think IIT BHU is inferior to other IITs? It has some of the most successful alumni who are contributing largely to the country and raising the flag of the institute high. It is wrong to negate its legacy of excellent and rich heritage just because of the lack of funds it receives. IIT BHU enjoys a good reputation as a part of the IIT family and only 2 kinds of people don't consider it an IIT. Those who go for a less preferred branch in the top IITs and make such comments because of their inferiority complex or those people who speak gibberish about other institutes just to promote their institutes during counseling.
Either way, rather than paying heed to such comments, believe what your heart says and remember every college has its own flaws so it is you to decide which flaw to overlook.
How is the M.Tech course at BIT Mesra? Are there placement opportunities for M.Tech students in BIT Mesra?
I can only talk about the CS/IT department of BIT Mesra.
The M.Tech curriculum is pretty good, but teaching quality is lacking. The department faculty seems uninterested in teaching. This may be due to lack of resources and a poor administration, which annoys them as much as it does the students. Almost zero importance is given to coding for PG students. The college seriously lacks a research culture, but if you are adamant on pursuing research, you may find good guidance nonetheless.
The location of BIT Mesra is unfavorable for placements. Despite this, the department performs really well during placement season. Big shot firms like Microsoft and Goldman Sachs recruit M.Tech students from the department. The highest package for M.Techs is around 40 LPA. Getting placed is totally your responsibility. The college’s work is simply to invite top companies for campus placements, which in this case, it does.
As far as the CS/IT department of BIT Mesra is concerned, it offers decent academics and good placements. Moreover, it's not necessary that things are any better at other institutions.
Is KIET Ghaziabad good for CS?
Yes, KIET Ghaziabad is no doubt excellent for CS. On top of studying at an affordable fee, you will get excellent placement and internship offers. In 2023, the placement percentage was considerably high at 89.78%. The highest package was around INR 48.89 LPA and the average package was INR 6.86 LPA. Many of my seniors got placed in good companies, some qualified GATE and some of them even were winners in Hackathon and other competitions.
How hard is it to survive at KIIT?
Survival at KIIT can be judged on the basis of many criteria such as hostel life, campus life, or academics. Consider the following
Initially, the hostel life at KIIT is 6/10 in terms of hardship for survival. In the starting, you have to be punctual and check in at the hostel on time. But once the fresher party is done, you live a considerably free hostel life. There are no major restrictions and every query is taken care of at the reception area.
Campus life: KIIT has one of the most dynamic and vibrant campus life. You don’t have to follow many rules and are a free bird here. A number of societies promote extracurricular activities so make sure to enroll and pursue your passion.
Academic life: The difficulty of academic life varies from individual to individual but on average, it can be rated as 4/10. Attending classes regularly and doing frequent revisions can help you score good marks without any extra effort.
Exams: Sadly, KIIT does not conduct very challenging exams and you can score good marks just by solving the previous year's papers and attending classes regularly.
Lab sessions: The lab sessions are very easy provided that you are interested in them.
So, it can be safely concluded that it’s pretty easy to survive at KIIT. All you need is a positive and consistent attitude.
How is the hostel life at IIT Roorkee?
The hostel life at IIT Roorkee is nothing less than magic as it gives you precious memories that will stay with you forever.
During the initial days, you will have to stand in queues for your food or library cards. The food at the mess will look edible initially but very soon you will start detesting it. It’s advisable to seek constant help from your seniors and maintain good bonds with them.
After a few months you will adapt yourself to the campus and your hostel will become your home away from home. Night outs will become a common occurrence and you will love strolling through the campus the entire day. All this will leave an everlasting impression on you and you will end up missing these days a lot.
