Which one should I choose, IIM Raipur or SIMSREE (Sydenham)? I am an average mechanical engineering graduate. I have offers from both of them. Which one should you suggest?

MS
Manjot Singh Posted On : January 21st, 2023
MBA from Indian Institute of Management Raipur (2022)

If you choose IIM Raipur you can definitely grab the IIM tag. But in reality, SIMSREE is one of the oldest B Schools and thus has a better plethora of opportunities. Joining SIMSREE is a better choice because

  • It is one of the oldest colleges in India
  • It is located in Mumbai, the financial capital of India 
  • 100% placement record
  • Amazing ROI 
  • Small-batch size
  • Decent faculty base

You can avail so many opportunities by joining SIMSREE but will only get an IIM tag if you join IIM Raipur. Moreover, you will be burdened with repaying the loan. IIM Raipur might also not have top firms visit the campus for placements due to its location.

So it’s better to join SIMSREE and focus on the technical aspect of an MBA than join IIM Raipur just for the brand name.

What should I do, Sardar Patel college of engineering mechanical or college of engineering Pune civil?

AB
Akash Banerjee Posted On : March 31st, 2022
studied at Sardar Patel College of Engineering

If we compare these colleges based only on brand value and reputation, then COEP is way ahead of SPCE. 

But you should prioritize your branch of choice while choosing an institute. Civil and Mechanical engineering, both these are core branches of engineering and have their advantages and disadvantages. Mechanical Engineering will give you exposure to a variety of branches like Automobile, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Thermal, etc. If you are genuinely interested in Mechanical Engineering, you can go to Sardar Patel College of Engineering. They have a good faculty base for the branch. 

If you are flexible regarding your branch choice, you can choose COEP Civil. The institute offers a branch change option after completion of the first year too.

Which is better, Electrical Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar or Mechanical Engineering at IIT BHU?

IT
Ishika Tiwari Posted On : August 14th, 2020
B.Tech Electrical Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Varanasi (2020)

IIT Bhubaneswar and IIT BHU both are among the reputed institutes for engineering in India. IIT BHU is ranked 11th while IIT Bhubaneswar is ranked 17th by MHRD in 2019. Both the IITs provide students with good academic experience and decent placements.

Talking about IIT BHU then the department of Mechanical Engineering came into existence in 1919. Over the past 100 years, the department has grown four folds to become the largest department in IIT(BHU), Varanasi. It offers a 4-year bachelor of technology program to the students who are admitted through JEE Advanced. The curriculum is periodically updated and designed in such a way that provides students with problem-solving skills and innovation of new technologies. Here in IIT BHU infrastructural facilities are great for research for a wide range of specializations such as Machine Design, Thermal and Fluid Engineering, Production Engineering and Industrial Management. They also focus on innovation so they have CST UP Incubation Center for grass root innovators started in 2018 under Mechanical Engineering Department. The placement scenario in IIT BHU is quite good. Out of 120 students, 109 were placed in the Mechanical Department in 2019 with an average offer of 8 Lacs per annum.

Electrical engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar is also good. School of Electrical Sciences at IIT Bhubaneswar offers a good academic and research-oriented environment. It was established in 2008. There are already 200+ ongoing research projects and have a fund of more than INR 1 billion. The department is engaged in a wide spectrum of research in emerging and innovative technologies through nationally and internationally funded sponsored research. The average placement in Electrical was 8.5 lacs per annum and almost 86% are placed in 2019. Most of the students were able to get jobs in the core-sector.

Both the institutes are of equal importance and the branches are also pretty good and offer plenty of opportunities. But IIT BHU has the 100 years old Legacy and has one of the biggest and well-connected alumni bases in our country. So here IIT BHU has an edge over IIT Bhubaneswar. But at last, branch and interest matters more than college.
