Why are IIITs such as IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Delhi, and IIIT Allahabad so underrated?

AS
Aishwarya Shastri Posted On : August 2nd, 2023
Lives in Hyderabad

The three IIITs mentioned by you, namely IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Delhi and IIIT Allahabad have no connection with one another. Only IIIT Allahabad is a member of a collective known as the IIITs.Out of the remaining two, IIIT Hyderabad stands for The International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad, and IIIT Delhi stands for Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi.

All these three are prestigious institutions and I would disagree that they are underrated. IIIT Hyderabad is very difficult to get into. It has high cutoffs which are at par with some of the top IITs. IIIT Hyderabad is considered as one of the best institutes to study CS. The same is evident through their CS placements, a number of entrants in GSoc, and their participation in competitive programming. As far as IIIT Delhi is concerned, the institution has grown tremendously in the past few years. It has cut offs comparable to NSIT and DTU. 

All these institutes are relatively new and have the tag of “Research Institutes” attached to them. These might be an obstacle to their fame. This is because in India, students choose those institutes that promise the best industrial career prospects and not the ones driven by research.

However, because these institutes are research-driven, the quality of their course content is top notch and they attract some of the best faculty. This also works to increase your overall development and opportunities in the industry. The popularity of these institutions is thus growing rapidly. 

Therefore, all three institutions are really good choices to pursue your higher studies.

Why are IIIT's such as IIIT-Hyderabad, IIIT-Delhi and IIIT-Allahabad so under-rated?

AD
Aditi Deshpande Posted On : February 14th, 2024
Lives in Pune,Maharashtra

First of all, to clear any misconceptions, IIITH, IIITD and IIITA are not connected in any manner. Out of the three, only IIIT Allahabad is a member of the actual collective known as the IIITs. 

The common public doesn’t know much about these prestigious colleges. Consequently, they aren’t valued as much as the IITs and NITs. Here are the reasons why-

  1. All these institutes offer very few branches, which are mostly IT related.
  2. They aren’t as old as some of the IITs and NITs. They were set up even after IIT Guwahati, which is the 7th IIT in terms of establishment year.
  3. They don’t possess big campuses and a vast infrastructure.

But those who belong to the field of engineering (especially IT), give high ratings to these institutions, especially IIIT Hyderabad. These three offer research oriented academics. They even offer UG research programs. 

IIIT Hyderabad, Delhi and Allahabad are performing really well in their respective fields. They should be given much more attention.

Which one is better: IIM Lucknow or TISS HRM??

SK
Supriya Kolli Posted On : February 3rd, 2021

IIM Lucknow and TISS HRM are different in terms of course structure and placements. TISS HRM offers better placements in human resource management. Whereas IIM Lucknow provides better jobs in various fields like marketing, finance, general management, consulting, etc.

Specialization - HR: 

If HR is your first priority, then go for TISS. 

  • Companies and firms prefer TISS over IIMs to recruit students for their HR vacancies. Although there might be some HR options at IIML, you will not find diverse job profiles of options in IIML. 
  • Located in the heart of Mumbai, TISS has fewer students. Thus, it offers good salaried HR jobs to students.

Deciding Factors:

One must take into account his/her aims and goals, before choosing between these two colleges. The following factors must be taken into consideration while choosing.

  • Both the institutes provide decent salaried jobs to students. Human Resource jobs might offer less salary at the starting and midpoints. However, the salary differs from companies to companies. After gaining a good amount of experience in the field, this difference in companies will hardly matter.
  • You should ask yourself if you want a revenue target-oriented job like marketing and finance or something which has less pressure like HR. HR jobs are less stressful as they don’t have such targets.
  • HR work involves indirect revenue generation. The HR job starts with recruitment and after gaining experience it involves compensation management, training, and development, organization design, etc. Thus, you have to decide if you want direct or indirect involvement in revenue generation. 

MBA in HR is a specialized degree thus, you may not be able to go to other fields with this degree later in your career. So, take all these factors into consideration before choosing an institute among these two.

Why is CSE at IIT Bombay the better option over CSE at IIT Kanpur?

AG
Aman Goenka Posted On : March 17th, 2023
B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IITB) (Graduated 2017)

When choosing between IIT Bombay and IIT Kanour for CSE, you must decide to go with IIT Bombay for the following reasons:

  • There are many students from Kanpur and near Kanpur who choose IIT Bombay because they want to live independently, and develop their personality.
  • Kanpur is not as developed as Mumbai, and choosing Kanpur will slow down your progress significantly in some or the other way.
  • IIT Bombay is a natural choice for top JEE rankers and if you speak to the seniors or alumni, everyone else will suggest that too. 
  • Comparing institutes is not a good idea, but comparing cities is important since you'll be spending about 4 years there. 
  • IIT Bombay has better placements, infrastructure, environment as well as faculties. 


Therefore, CSE at IIT Bombay is the better option over CSE at IIT Kanpur.

Which is better Pune University or Mumbai University?

AB
Advaith Bhaskar Posted On : March 30th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (2000–present)

Both Pune University and Mumbai University are well-esteemed institutions in India imparting superior quality education. However, the one that is suitable for you depends on your individual needs and preferences. Some factors that are usually considered are location, campus culture, and research opportunities. It's advisable to research both universities and visit them in person if possible to make a wise decision. 

In my opinion, however, Pune University has a much higher preference rate than Mumbai university. This is because of the following factors:

  • Pune University has a better and well-structured curriculum in comparison to Mumbai University, especially in Engineering.
  • The academic rules are more strict at Pune University and the number of backlogs allowed is also less than at Mumbai University thus maintaining the quality of Education.
  • The exams are conducted consequently and little time is given for preparation. This makes it more challenging for the students and prepares them well for the future.

If you genuinely want to understand concepts and create amazing memories along with a lot of struggles, Pune University is for you. If you are looking for a laid-back campus life and a calm learning environment, then Mumbai University is best for you.

Why does BITS Pilani follow zero attendance?

PS
Prateek Sharma Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

The primary reason why BITS Pilani decided to follow the zero attendance rule was to imply that education cannot be forced and should be a result of individuals' own interests and passions. 

If someone is not willing to attend a particular class, he should be forced to do so because he will be attending it uninterested which defers the entire purpose of education. An uninterested student will affect the classroom ambiance and become a distraction for the faculty as well as interested individuals. 

Here are a few justified reasons why some students prefer skipping classes 

  • Students at BITS Pilani are responsible for organizing huge events like OASIS, BOSM, and APOGEE (Pilani Campus) that require a lot of time commitment making it difficult to attend classes. 
  • Additionally, some students are inclined towards research work rather than theoretical knowledge and thus prefer skipping classes. Forcing them to attend classes will hamper their development in the field of their interests. BITS Pilani believes in giving students the space to identify their interests and flourish within them. 
  • Students also prefer skipping classes because the speed of teaching is slow in the class and they prefer going through their friends' notes instead of spending 50 minutes. 

BITS Pilani has come up with this policy because it believes that forced education might hamper one’s growth.
