Which is better: Engineering Physics at IIT Bombay or Electrical Engineering at IIT Roorkee?

SB
Sumit Bose Posted On : March 18th, 2023
IIT Bombay (2019)

It would be suggested to pursue Engineering Physics at IIT Bombay rather than Electrical Engineering at IIT Roorkee. 

When it comes to studying physics at IITB, there are some key differences between JEE physics and college-level physics. Here are some important points to keep in mind:

  • In JEE physics, you study formula derivations after brief explanations of concepts and practice a lot of problems in that topic. College-level physics courses are typically more rigorous in theoretical and mathematical content, and problems are solved to help you understand the concepts more deeply.
  • While EE does not have any pure physics courses after the first year, it focuses on making you an electrical engineer. Core courses include analog and digital electronics, signals and systems, network theory, electronic devices, microprocessors, power electronics, and some relevant math courses.
  • EP, on the other hand, has core courses like quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, statistics, relativity, classical mechanics, waves and optics, nuclear physics, etc. There are also important math courses up to your second year.
  • EP trains you in core physics concepts and prepares you for experimental physics and electronics, giving you many options for your career path. You can work in theoretical or experimental physics, electronics, statistics and stochastics, CS-related research, or pursue higher studies in physics.
  • When choosing between IITB and IIT Roorkee, consider factors like the quality of professors, campus culture, and location. IITB has excellent professors, a beautiful campus, and great cultural and sports scenes, and is close to TIFR, which provides opportunities for collaboration.
  • When it comes to placements, most EP students go for higher studies because they are passionate about physics. For EE, core and non-core jobs are similar to those for other courses in terms of job security and salary packages.

Finally, the "brand" of IITs, especially IIT Bombay, provides a sense of job security that can be reassuring for graduates.

Is Amity University the best for aerospace engineering?

TC
Tanushree Chakraborty Posted On : May 7th, 2021
M.Tech Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering & Composite Materials, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (2019)

One of my friends studied aerospace engineering at Amity University, so let me share his experiences about the college and also the true facts about Amity University.

Amity University offers two programs in Aerospace - BTech in Aerospace Engineering and a Dual degree program ( Integrated BTech + MTech).

  • There are very few experienced faculty members in both of these departments. They are not very active and supportive.
  • The course curriculum is well designed, however, the teaching methodology is not very impressive.
  • The department is very strict about the attendance of students. The students need to maintain a minimum of 75% attendance. The department debarred the students who fail to attain 75% attendance in any subject.
  • The aerospace department is separated from the Amity School of Engineering and technology and thus the students miss out on most of the events and programs.
  • The student crowd is huge at Amity. There are various spots of the student crowd such as Domino, CCD, Small market, Salons, etc. huge events are being organized for students.

Categories

Aerospace Engineering at Amity

Course Fee

9.20 lakh

Placement Percentage

30-40%

Highest CTC

10-13 LPA

Average CTC

4-5 LPA

Recruiting Companies

Rockwell, Wipro, Indigo, Spice JET, Tech Mahindra, etc.

The campus placement is not good in the aerospace department. Either you will be selected in Defence or any IT company. There are no internship opportunities available. You will hardly get a package ranging from INR 4-5 LPA. The course fee is also high in respect to the placement given. The course curriculum is mainly theoretical and very less practical.

You should try for another better college for doing Aerospace rather than in Amity.

I got IIIT Dharwad CSE. Is it good to join there or shall I proceed to round two? What is the mentor institute for IIIT Dharwad?

AD
Ankit Doshi Posted On : March 26th, 2021
B.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering, Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore (2022)

IIIT Dharwad is a newly established institute and it will be better not to make high expectations from this institute yet. It is running as a temporary campus at IT Park. Still, things have got little changes as it has permanent faculty, sports ground, labs infrastructure, as it got the mentor-like IIIT Bangalore.

You must go for round 2 without any doubt. Because this institute is running in a provisional campus in a free building and the college administration does not have a single penny to pay rent or take a permanent campus. Everything is going on charity in this institute.

Infrastructures, lab facilities, hostels, mess, administration, and most importantly, the placement is lagging; in short, all these are very poor.

The following table gives a brief overview of IIIT Dharwad, considering its placement process:

Criteria

IIIT Dharwad

Highest CTC

11 LPA

Lowest CTC

5 LPA

Average CTC

6.5 LPA

Students get extremely worst treatment here, specifically in the hostels, as it has no facilities and the mess is completely pathetic.

Thus, it is requested not to join this institute, as the college environment is impoverished than any other private institute. College administration is totally frustrated and not even able to run the central Government institute.

It is better to select some other private college rather than this IIIT. However, attendance here is very reluctant, which is 85%, but college administration considers the below percentage if the student gives them any excuses.

CSE (with AI & ML) in Manipal University Jaipur or Mechatronics / Mechanical in Thapar University? Which to choose?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : March 22nd, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Honestly speaking, both Thapar University and Manipal University are reputable institutions for a B.Tech in computer science. So the decision on which one is better for you ultimately depends on your personal preferences and priorities. is 

Thapar University is a highly esteemed, private engineering and technology university located in Patiala, India. Known for its strong academic programs and rich research culture in computer science, this university has it all. Additionally, it offers a range of student services, including career counseling and internships.

Manipal University, on the other hand, is a private university located in Manipal, India. It is one of the oldest and most established universities in the country and is known for its iRobot programs in CSE. The university has a number of student-driven bodies that promote extracurricular activities.

Some factors to consider while choosing between the two include 

  • Proximity to hometown
  • campus life
  • Fees and other expenses 
  • CSE Program offered

Both the colleges are almost similar in all aspects. So what actually matters is that if you live in the North, choose Thapar but if you are from the south choose Manipal. Both universities have the same fee and both are equally reputed private colleges after BITS. So I would suggest that whichever college is near your hometown go for it.

Ultimately, both universities are highly esteemed institutions and either one would be a decent choice for a B.Tech in computer science.
