Advait Joshi Posted On : April 12th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

To draw a better comparison, let’s differentiate IIT Roorkee and IIT Mumbai on the basis of branches 

CSE- On the basis of the research output, location, and popularity, Mumbai is the winner in this case while Roorkee stands in 4 or 5 positions.

ECE/Communications/Signal Processing: IIT Roorkee and KGP are the most preferred IITs. But considering the job opportunities, IIT Mumbai is again a winner.

EE: IIT Delhi's Electrical Engineering is considered the best-rank department internationally among other IITs. Mumbai and Roorkee are equally good but IIT Bombay again is slightly at an advantage. 

Mechanical: Madras and Mumbai are the best. Roorkee is also decent but yet not at par with IIT Bombay standards.

Chemical: IIT Bombay has an upper due to its better research output and the number of practicing chemical engineers.

Physics: Applied science is definitely better at IIT Roorkee. Even though its research and lab quality is comparable, however, IIT Bombay is preferred owing to the diversity in handling research problems.

Mathematics: In this case, IIT Kanpur takes the lead followed by Roorkee and Mumbai.

Chemistry: IIT Bombay is the best in every aspect.

Civil- IIT Roorkee’s Civil is considered the best in Asia. 

Space Sciences: Owing to its collaboration with ISRO, IIT Roorkee is the best.

How hard is it to survive at KIIT?

MG
Mridul Ghose Posted On : July 25th, 2023
B.Tech from Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (2021)

Survival at KIIT can be judged on the basis of many criteria such as hostel life, campus life, or academics. Consider the following  

Initially,  the hostel life at KIIT is 6/10 in terms of hardship for survival. In the starting, you have to be punctual and check in at the hostel on time. But once the fresher party is done, you live a considerably free hostel life. There are no major restrictions and every query is taken care of at the reception area.

Campus life: KIIT has one of the most dynamic and vibrant campus life. You don’t have to follow many rules and are a free bird here. A number of societies promote extracurricular activities so make sure to enroll and pursue your passion.

Academic life: The difficulty of academic life varies from individual to individual but on average, it can be rated as 4/10. Attending classes regularly and doing frequent revisions can help you score good marks without any extra effort.

Exams: Sadly, KIIT does not conduct very challenging exams and you can score good marks just by solving the previous year's papers and attending classes regularly.

Lab sessions: The lab sessions are very easy provided that you are interested in them. 

So, it can be safely concluded that it’s pretty easy to survive at KIIT. All you need is a positive and consistent attitude.

NT
Nivedha Thomas Posted On : December 2nd, 2022
B.Tech. in Electronics and Engineering, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Institute of Technology, Jalandhar (NITJ) (Graduated 2022)

Every coin has two sides. Similarly the institute NIT Jalandhar has both pros and cons. 

Pros-

  • Friendly ambiance. Seniors are there for support. Ragging is strictly prohibited 

  • The mess food is usually Punjabi and quite delicious 

  • Alot of emphasis is placed on extracurricular activities. There are various clubs like LADS, MADS etc. Various cultural events are also held.

  • The seniors here are literal genius and interactions with them is very beneficial 

  • Placement opportunities are pretty good at every branch

  • Proper hygiene facilities and lush green infrastructure add to its ambiance. New lecture halls and departments are under construction.

  • Great exposure through technical and cultural events Techniti and Utkansh

  • New short term courses are launched under GIAN (Global Initiative of Academic Networks )

  • International workshops and conferences that are held frequently help you gain a lot of experience

Cons-

  • The quality of faculty here is below average. They focus more on bookish knowledge than a broader practical approach.

  • Technical events resemble cultural events

  • No assistance is provided for training.

  • Marks matter more than general excellence. Everyone is in a war to secure the highest CGPA.

  • The 75% attendance rule works against the favour of many students.

So we can say that the merits overshadow the demerits to a great extent. In fact every NIT has similar cons which are almost uncontrollable. So just be a great learner and focus on your own betterment.

Why is IIM Kashipur the least preferred IIM among the new ones?

SM
Shivansh Mishra Posted On : January 5th, 2023
B.Tech in Computer Science, IGIT, Sarang, Odisha (Graduated 2022)

Honestly, I wouldn’t call IIM Kashipur the least preferred but the most underrated IIM. It’s at par with all the IIMs with respect to placements, infrastructure, faculty, student-teacher ratio, and rigor. Yet it’s highly underestimated owing to its single disadvantage of location.

IIMs welcome students from all over India. But the students from South or North-East India find it rather difficult to first travel to Delhi and then travel by Road or Rail to Kashipur. They prefer their comfort over anything.

The other reason is that most IIMs have been able to establish a uniqueness about themselves. IIM Kashipur lacks in this aspect. IIM Rohtak is the oldest and closest to NCR, IIM Udaipur attracts students based on MHRD ratings, IIM Trichy made itself known as a CFA Recognised Institute under the Institute University Recognition Programme and IIM Ranchi has the best placement opportunities. IIM Kashipur has failed to market itself on a particular aspect and thus is underestimated.

IIT Kanpur and IIT Bombay are the top 2 IITs in India with IIT Kanpur giving an edge to IIT Bombay. The only aspect of IIT Bombay that is better than IIT Kanpur is its metropolitan location. In almost every other aspect, IIT Kanpur is way ahead.

  • The huge Open Air Theatre has the capacity to accommodate 3000 people at a time.
  • World-class sports facilities.

Will I be able to change my branch in DTU/NSIT after the 1st year? If yes, then what is the criteria to change the branch after 1 year?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : July 5th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

NSIT Branch change Rules

Branch change in NSIT happens after 1st semester. NSUT has unique criteria regarding branch change. If there are vacant seats in the branch of your higher preference(as filled during the choice-filling procedure of JAC Delhi) and your JEE rank is better than other students who applied for branch change, then your branch changed automatically after the first semester. However, if you have filled out the branch freezing form at the time of admission or students who got admission during the spot round cannot change their branch.

DTU branch change

DTU has no branch change policy. In rare cases, if someone from a higher cutoff branch withdraws his admission after the spot round then the seat is filled by those who opted for that branch and not froze their current branch. The chances are almost low though.
