Which is more reputed among US universities IISc Bangalore or IITs?
My brother is an IIT B alumnus and is currently pursuing his Ph.D. from Cornell. He told me that on numerous occasions international researchers, professors, and students have expressed in front of him respect for the sharp-mindedness and prolificacy of the IIT alumni. Many scholars at Cornell consider the IITs as institutions for only the sharpest minds. Many international researchers and students know only about IITs and may mistake an IISc Bangalore alumnus for an IITian.
Now the main point is if you have the right research background, a good GPA, and exceptional letters of recommendation, it makes no difference whether you are an IITian or from IISc Bangalore. The admission committee at international universities is well aware that IISc is a top-ranked Indian institution and in many areas, ranks above the top IITs.
My brother feels that IISc could have been a better choice for him due to his inclination toward Physical Sciences. The IISc provides a great environment for research and the students there are enthusiastic about research and learning. However, as he did not go to IISc, he does not know about the ground reality.
Ultimately, whether you go to the IITs or IISc Bangalore in no way affects your admission prospects in an international institution.
Is it true that IIT kanpur's curriculum is harder than other IITs?
My knowledge is limited to the Mechanical branch only as my brother was a student at IIT Kanpur. From what I heard about his experience, the curriculum is moderate, neither too heavy nor too light. He even saw many of his batchmates copying assignments and not doing one on their own throughout the 5 years.
The mid and end-semester exams are usually from the notes. The average of the class is very low with everyone performing poorly. up getting a B in that course. There are some exceptional professors who do tough grading, but that is rare and mostly CPI isn’t affected.
Projects and term papers are supposed to be done as a group and carry a lot of weightage. But they are quite easy as one of the studious members of the group ends up doing all the work.
In IIT Kanpur, one can easily score 7 CPI with average preparation done in 1 week for mid and end semesters while 1 or 2 days for projects/term papers. Hence I wouldn’t say the IIT Kanpur’s curriculum is harder than other IITs.
Is VIT Pune better than PICT?
If you are planning on pursuin Computer Science then choosing PICT will be better than VIT. It offers better placement opportunities. According to the recent placement highlights the average and highest CTC offered by PICT is 7.75 LPA and 91 LPA respectively.
Don’t choose VIT, just because it is autonomous. However, it does offer flexible academics and less number of lectures. If you get a backlog, you can clear it within one month.

Are the students of NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, NIT Surathkal, and IIIT Hyderabad as good as an IITian/BITSian?
When it comes to being a good student in engineering, the key factor is the ability to think effectively and perform well in studies while maintaining excellent practical skills. However, the opportunities provided by the institute can also play a significant role in shaping a student's career and future prospects.
Here are some points to consider when evaluating the impact of opportunities on a student's success:
- IITians are provided with ample opportunities to present their ideas and projects, which can give them an edge over other students. This may lead to more visibility and recognition for their work, resulting in better career prospects.
- NITs may provide comparatively fewer opportunities, which means that even if a student has an innovative idea or project, they may not get the chance to present it to a wider audience. This could limit their visibility and recognition in the industry, despite their potential.
- Private colleges may provide the least opportunities, which can make it difficult for students to showcase their skills and stand out in a crowded job market. This can also limit their exposure to industry trends and developments, which may hinder their growth as professionals.
However, it is important to note that the opportunities provided by an institute do not necessarily reflect the quality of education or the potential of the students. Here are some examples to illustrate this point:
- Two engineers, one from an IIT and another from an NIT discover a new gadget that is not very effective. In this case, the IITian may have a better chance of presenting their idea to the public and gaining recognition, but it does not necessarily mean that they are a better student than the NITian. Both students may have equal potential and skills, but the opportunities provided by their respective institutes may differ.
- Similarly, in private colleges, only a few students may get noticed because of limited opportunities, but this does not mean that the rest of the students are not capable or talented. It is possible that the other students have excellent skills and potential, but they did not get a chance to showcase their abilities due to a lack of opportunities.
In conclusion, while opportunities provided by an institute can play a significant role in shaping a student's career and future prospects, it is important to remember that they do not necessarily reflect the quality of education or the potential of the students. As a student, it is crucial to focus on developing your skills and knowledge and seek out opportunities to showcase your abilities, regardless of the institute you attend.
