How good is the AI M.Tech course in IISc Bangalore? How good can an electrical engineer do in that course?
My sister is currently pursuing AI MTech in IISc Bangalore. She shared her courses taught in the first and second-semester
First semester
- Linear algebra course that focuses on theory and related algorithms.
- Postgraduate course on probability and stochastic processes.
- Optimization course for constrained and unconstrained problems.
- Data Structures and algorithms are mainly for non-CS people.
These are fundamental courses you will be studying before actually getting started with AI. In the second semester courses will be like
2nd semester
- Machine Learning
- Deep Learning
- Computer Vision
- Image Processing
- Speech Processing
The courses of the consecutive semesters depend on the student and his/her project advisor.
My sister has huge expectations from this program and she claims that the program fulfilled all of them. As for your other question, not only an EE Engineer but also a CS or ECE engineer can do well in this program. AI is a multifaceted field and thus is suitable for people from diverse backgrounds.
What is the best preparation strategy for the JBIMS MSc finance interview?
If you have a non-finance background, it is recommended that you begin your preparation for the JBIMS MSc finance interview at least 4-5 months prior to your interview for the MSc Finance course. You must be sure about your interest in finance, as M.Sc Finance is a very core course. If you have a finance background, you are expected to have a deeper understanding of the points mentioned below. Along with knowing the "whats", you must also know the "whys". In terms of preparation, it is important for you to:
- Be well-informed about the current market scenario and keep track of SENSEX, NIFTY, gold pricing, INR/USD, and oil pricing.
- Have a good understanding of the current Indian economy, including its GDP, inflation, and the factors that impact it.
- Stay updated with the RBI rates, including Repo, Reverse Repo, CRR, and SLR, and know their meanings.
- Be aware of the current global scenario, such as Demonetisation, BREXIT, and Trump.
- Consider the question "Why MSc Finance?" as the first and foremost point of focus in your preparation, even if you have a good academic background. You may still be asked why you chose MSc in Finance over an MBA or PGDM.
- If you have work experience, you must be familiar with your work and its impact on business.
By being thorough with all of these above-mentioned points, you will be well-prepared for the MSc Finance interview.
Which is a better option: IIIT Hyderabad (M.Tech CSE) or BITS Pilani (M.E Software Systems)? Why?
In my opinion, M.Tech in CSE from IIIT Hyderabad is way better than the M.E. Software System from BITS Pilani. Honestly, both the colleges are good so my comparison is only on the basis of the courses. Consider the following points of comparison
- ME in the Software System curriculum mostly comprises software engineering or IT subjects and has little connection with the actual CSE curriculum. Whereas, if you take CSE, you can opt for the subjects of your choice from the second year and can take subjects directly related to CSE.
- BITS Pilani has a better brand value and enjoys more global recognition than IIIT Hyderabad thereby making it easy to pursue Ph.D. from a foreign university.
- M.E. in Software Systems limits the scope of a Ph.D. with a good research area in CSE.
In the end, I will say both IIIT Hyderabad and BITS are excellent institutes for CSE education and offer equally good placements. So priority should be given to the course and not the college!
How is the CSD course different from CSE course of IIIT Hyderabad?
The BTech degree offered in both the courses is similar so the foundation courses taught in the initial 2 years are exactly the same. From the third year, you will be asked to choose a lab where you will be conducting research. Students are given many options to choose from.
Some of these include the following:
- Robotics Research Centre
- Computer Vision
- Spatial Informatics
- Center for Data Engineering
So the third year witnesses additional courses that are specific to your branch. Both CSE and CSD students will be working on similar problems and will be publishing research papers in the 3rd and 4th years. In the fifth year, students have to write their thesis. One of my friends joined CSE and Robotics Research Centre and is very happy with the results.
What are the reasons that IIIT-Hyderabad ECE is not as good as its CSE?
The question is highly illogical as no branches are comparable, rather it’s a matter of preferences. You can say that placements of CSE are better than ECE but to say that to the entire branch would be making a false claim.
In any engineering institute you will find the average packages of the CSE branch higher than other branches but does this mean the other branches are not as good? The answer is no. The placements are directly affected by the demand in industry and it has nothing to do with the credibility of the branch. If you are genuinely interested in ECE, then CSE won’t be a good choice for you irrespective of how lucrative the package you are offered. So it’s a subjective matter.
People tend to adopt the sheep mentality and flock to CSE just because everyone is doing so and fail to analyze their own passions and interests. The increasing size of packages and international offers has resulted in a preconceived notion that CSE is better. In reality, both ECE and CSE branches are equally good with equally good opportunities, faculties, and education.
So it’s advisable to make the decision without any preconceived notions.
How is instrumentation and control at NSIT - infrastructure, faculty, course content, scope, placement and research opportunities?
Here is all the information about ICE at NSUT Delhi-
- Faculty - The ICE faculty is a mixed bag. There are some teachers who teach really well and their classes are enjoyable. However, there are some strict ones as well. Some do not care about their subject or the students at all.
- Coursework - The ICE coursework is fine and gives you ample time to pursue your interests.
- Infrastructure - NSUT Delhi has undergone infrastructural changes recently. This is because it has gained University status. The college library is centrally air-conditioned. ICE shares most of its labs with the Electronics and Computers branches. The labs are well-equipped.
- Placements - Placements are less as compared to COE/IT branches. Few companies offer jobs to ICE students, especially for Core job profiles. Generally, DRs and people with exceptional profiles are placed in ICE. Internship offers are also less for this department.
- Research- ICE students are actively involved in research work. The ICE faculty encourages students to participate in research. Students also work under DTU, IIT Delhi, and IIIT Delhi teachers. ICE students work on around 3-4 projects while at NSUT Delhi.
- Scope - ICE students drift from their core stream to a programming job or an MBA. Some also prepare for an MS.
This is all the information about the ICE branch at NSIT Delhi.
Which is better chemical or instrumentation and control or production engineering at NIT Trichy (no specific interest)?

Which is better: IT from NSIT, IT from DTU, or CSE from IIIT Delhi?
IT from NSIT is the best option among these.
- The student crowd is brilliant. It has a small batch size compared to DTU. So, you will face less competition.
- NSIT has an amazing pool of faculties. You will get to learn from excellent faculty members like Sangeeta Sabharwal and MPS Bhatia.
- NSIT IT placements are better than DTU and IIIT D. DTU has a better placement record for core branches. While NSIT offers better placements opportunities to CS and IT students. In the recent placement drive, the average CTC for IT at NSIT was INR 6 LPA.
- Companies like Facebook, Google hire students from NSIT from their US offices.
- Major consulting and non-tech companies like Bain, BCG, ZS Associates, etc. also visit the campus placements.
IIIT Delhi has an excellent research culture and professors from top universities like Carnegie Mellon. So, if you are interested in research, you should choose IIIT D. Overall IT from NSIT is the best option in terms of academics and placements.
