Material Science and Metallurgical Engineering (MEMS) is a highly funded branch in IIT Bombay, and it's a misconception that it's not a good branch just because its cutoffs are high. In fact, Material Science is the most demanded branch at MIT. However, it's essential to note that each branch is unique in its way, and the only thing that matters is your interest.

MEMS teaches engineering aspects of metals, their properties, and engineering problems faced while extracting them, while material science focuses on customizing materials according to your needs. Materials play an essential role in various processes, and you need to alter properties like viscosity, strength, hardness, resistance to temperature, etc. Material science plays a crucial role in developing such materials.

The branch you choose does not determine your success; it's your commitment and passion toward that branch that matters. So, choose a branch based on your interest and passion, not just packages, to excel in it.

Both DTU and NSUT are tier-1 engineering colleges offering excellent education and opportunities to their students. However, while choosing one over the other you would like to consider the following points 

• NSUT has a number of CS-related courses and gives an edge over its counterparts in terms of internships and placements.
• NSUT does not function under the umbrella of DU anymore.
• The authority of NSUT is very lethargic and thus the standards of fests conducted are also very poor. 
• NSUT has very few core opportunities.
• In NSUT, very few marks are allotted despite the students working hard. A poor GPA often affects your placements.
• There are strict rules for attendance here so you might not be able to enjoy college life.

In all, DTU seems to be a better option than NSUT.

According to the reviews online, here is a comparison between the two colleges Nirma University and PDPU.

• The campus life is better in PDPU than Nirma, there are a lot of rules and regulations students have to strictly follow.
• In Nirma a 85% attendance is to be maintained by the students to be able to sit for the examinations.
• The overall academic pressure is more in PDPU than Nirma.
• In Nirma, UG students do not get hostels.
• Placements depend more on your branch than the institution.
• CS and IT Nirma are much better than PDPU. Petroleum Engineering is the best in PDPU. Maximum students are hired by ONGC from PDPU.
• Nirma provides much better transportation facilities than PDPU.

Lastly, it can be stated that Nirma is slowly deteriorating, on the other hand PDPU is gaining popularity and recognition. So, if you want to pursue Petroleum Engineering go for PDPU, otherwise Nirma will be a better option.

Here are some advantages of both, KMC Manipal and KMC Mangalore-

Advantages of KMC Mangalore-

1. It is attached to three government hospitals- Lady Goschen (for OBG), Wenlock (for other specialties, except pediatrics), and RAPCC (for pediatrics). So you’ll get to see a variety of patients. You may work on 100+ cases during your OPD days. You’ll also get to see how differently government and private hospitals work.
2. Mangalore has all the travel facilities- flight, bus, train, and even ship.
3. You can access malls, good restaurants and other such luxuries in Mangalore.
4. The Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations are worth waiting for.

Advantages of KMC Manipal-

1. It has a state-of-the-art library.
2. You’ll enjoy campus life, and meet students from different countries and streams (Engineering, Hotel Management, Visual Media, etc).
3. KMC Manipal is a much bigger brand.

I really had an amazing time at KMC Mangalore. If you want more clinical exposure, stay at KMC Mangalore. The theory classes are at par in both. As a KMC student, if you are among the top 8 for the first 2 years, you’ll get the opportunity to attend a month-long externship in the Netherlands. 

MNIT Jaipur is far better than DTU in terms of every aspect. You will like to consider these points 

Cutoff: MNIT Jaipur CSE closing rank is much lower than DTU CSE so the crowd quality is better than at MNIT Jaipur. In fact, even general category students with 1 lakh+ rank are able to make it into DTU.

Location: MNIT Jaipur is located in the middle of Jaipur City while DTU is located in the outskirts of Delhi.

Campus: MNIT Jaipur has a lush green campus of 320 Acres while DTU has an old Infrastructure with 165 Acres Campus on Bawana Village

Alumni: MNIT Jaipur has a much more extensive alumni network. Some of them include 

• Vice President of Wipro is MNIT Jaipur Alumni
• Vice President of LG Electronics is MNIT Jaipur Alumni
• Vice President of Deloitte is MNIT Jaipur Alumni
• Vice President of Axis Bank is MNIT Jaipur Alumni
• Director of UnitedHealthGroup is MNIT JAIPUR Alumni
• Director of Bank of America is MNIT Jaipur Alumni
• Spokesperson of Ministry of External Affairs and former Ambassador of India is MNIT Jaipur Alumni

Faculty: MNIT Jaipur faculties that are mostly Ph.D. holders while DTU does not have many Ph.D. holders.

Overall, MNIT Jaipur is better than DTU in all aspects.

My cousin belonged to the Mohali campus of ISB and during her exchange term, she observed and compared the pros and cons of both campuses. I have listed the major pros of both colleges.

ISB Hyderabad

• Huge batch size ensures peers from a variety of backgrounds.
• The location is helpful for the students to maintain a good social life
• ISB Hyderabad has a wider range of student-driven clubs and committed
• The placement presentations take place at the Hyderabad campus and Mohali students get to join through a video call only

ISB Mohali

• ISB Mohali has very few resident faculty as it has been recently established. As a result, the institute calls in the best faculty from colleges like Wharton, UNC, and Kellogg to teach. Their pedagogy is unique and ISB Hyderabad lacks in this aspect.
• The campus is new so the accommodation facilities are better and made to suit all the necessary requirements. These hostels have better furnishing, space, and housekeeping facilities in comparison to the hostels of ISB Hyderabad.
• The small batch size ensures the quality over quantity belief
• The choice of electives is done through online bidding at ISB. Hyderabad campus with its huge batch size makes it impossible for all the students to get their choice of electives. Mohali students, in turn, face no such problem because of the small batch size

ISB maintains a strict balance between both campuses and the placement statistics are a testament to that as no major differences can be observed.

Overall my cousin never regretted choosing Mohali over Hyderabad and recommends the same to everyone.

If you are interested in CSE but choosing Mathematics and Computing just for the sake of overlapping courses, then trust me you are making the wrong decision. I have seen many CSE branch seekers taking Mathematics and Computer to land CSE-related jobs. Let me tell you frankly, Mathematics and Computing are no substitutes for Computer Science.

If you want to get a deeper understanding of this, go through the Syllabus of Mathematics. You will find most courses that are theoretical, abstract, and purely mathematical and very few courses related to Computer Science. Mathematics at IITs is not everyone’s cup of tea. It is extremely tough, unlike JEE Math. 

However, if you are passionate about Mathematics and want to pursue a research career in it, go for it. The courses might include lengthy proofs of Mathematical Induction and set and relation theory. Discuss the curriculum once with students of Mathematics at IIT and then make the final decision. Usually, the coursework in Mathematics and Computing is the same for all the IIT Branches.

To sum it up, if you are planning to take Mathematics and Computers just for the CSE courses, please make a better decision. My best advice would be to go for CSE in a better engineering college like IIT Hyderabad or Indore.

It's highly illogical to compare an institute of national importance namely MNIT Jaipur to an average engineering college in the same city, LNMIIT Jaipur. Here are some key differences between the institutes

• Campus: MNIT Jaipur has a bigger campus that spreads across 320 acres while LNMIIT operates from just a 100-acre campus area with limited facilities.
• Location: MBIT Jaipur is located in the heart of the city of Jaipur while LNMIIT is located far away from the city. MNIT students have better access to coaching, hospitals, malls, and other places to hang out.
• Faculty: MNIT Jaipur is one of the top 5 NITs so definitely has better experienced and learned professors than LNMIIT. 
• Placements: MNIT Jaipur is way better than LNMIIT in terms of placements. Its average package stood around INR 12.43 LPA with many big shots like Adverb, Adobe, Airtel, Amazon, Analytics Quotient (Kantar), and Apple, visiting the campus for placements.
• Higher studies: MNIT because of its excellent brand name offers excellent opportunities for pursuing higher studies. In fact, many MNIT alumni are currently pursuing MBAs from top B Schools like IIM, IIFT, XLRI, and FMS 
• Alumni: MNIT Jaipur was established in 1963 whereas LNMIIT was established in 2003. The former has a stronger alumni base working as directors in many government organizations and PSUs. Some even joined , private firms or became IAS, IPS, IFS, etc 
• Fees: MNIT Jaipur BTech one year fee is around INR 1.78 Lakhs while LNMIIT Jaipur BTech one year fee is INR 3.75 Lakhs. MBIT has much lower fees and therefore offers a better ROI than LNMIIT Jaipur.

It’s safe to conclude that MNIT Jaipur is incomparable to LNMIIT in any way and ranks better than LNMIIT.
