Which is the best NIT for an MTech in CSE, NIT Patna, NIT Goa, NIT Agartala, NIT Hamirpur, NIT Jaipur or NIT Manipur?
I will always suggest you give preference to the branch over the college. NIT Jalandhar and NIT Raipur are better colleges for CSE than NIT Patna and NIT Silchar. Another good option is ECE at NIT Allahabad or NIT Calicut as most of the companies let ECE students sit for software engineering roles during placements.
I am strongly against you joining mechanical engineering if you are already getting CSE/IT/ECE at NITs. Ultimately, it’s your preferences that will help choose the best college!
Is joining new IIMs (Ranchi, Trichy, Udaipur) worth it? How will be the career growth after an MBA from new ones?
The career growth offered by the new IIMs is difficult to analyze as they haven’t been established for long. One cannot infer their worth easily as its alumni are yet to establish themselves in the corporate world. It will take a few more years to determine the growth of CEO alums career-wise.
If you are concerned about the general job prospects, try going through the placement reports of these IIMs. You will get a general idea of the packages and roles offered.
To know if the new IIMs are worth going for, you need to check what you are expecting from these B Schools. If you are looking for basic learning and a small push to kickstart your career, the new IIMs will benefit you. But if you are on the lookout for high ROI, the new IIMs may or may not satisfy your expectations.
Which is a better option, EEE at IIT Dharwad, EC at BITS Pilani Hyderabad campus, EnI at BITS Pilani campus or ISE at RVCE?
IIT Dharwad is a recently established institute that attracts fewer companies and has a small alumni pool. On the other hand, BITS Pilani has graduated more than 50 batches.
The best option would be to take ECE in BITS Hyderabad or ENI in BITS Pilani. The reason I am against you joining a new IIT is that these IITs are not well-known among big companies and some recruiters don’t even consider them worthy of visiting. They know that these IITs can never be at par with the old ones. So it’s better to look beyond the IIT tag and go for BITS Pilani, an excellent choice indeed!
Which MBA college should I prefer (background is from B.tech hons (CS) and have 15 months work experience), IIT KGP or IIM Trichy?
The best way to answer your query is to mention the core highlights of MBA from both institutes.
IIT
- The MBA course here is more of technical nature as the program is one of the many departments of a huge Technical institute
- The peers are very talented and genius
- The small batch size increases the opportunities for placements
IIM Trichy
- The MBA experience here is much more diverse and challenging. You will find peers from diverse backgrounds.
- The pedagogy here is top notch as they specialize in this area
- IIM Trichy has a better academic rigor and their style of Management education is too good
- IIMs offer better food and infrastructural facilities
I will sum up my answer with 2 points. If you are looking for job prospects outside India, IITs are a good choice. But within India, IIMs are a better option as their style of Management surpasses that of IITs.
Which is better: Civil NIT Trichy or CSE NIT Patna?
NIT Trichy is one of the top 10 institutions in India for Engineering, NIT Patna makes it to the 56th position in the NIRF Rankings 2023 for Engineering.
Despite this, I would suggest you go for CSE from NIT Patna. Out of my experience of meeting different people, I would suggest you choose a better course over a better institution. CSE is in demand these days, while Civil might not be a good choice placement-wise.
A friend of mine pursued his B.Tech in Civil Engineering from a top NIT. He did not land a decent job. After that, he cracked GATE and went for his M.Tech in Civil Engineering from DTU. Even after his M.Tech, he landed a package of INR 5.5 LPA.
Civil Engineers from IIT Guwahati in my friend circle started preparing for UPSC because of not getting a job.
I believe that a course tag is permanent unless you switch your stream during your Masters. Therefore, I would suggest you take CSE from NIT Patna instead of Civil from NIT Trichy.
Which is the best university to study UG course in chemistry zoology CU, BU, KU or WBSU?
One of my friends studied at Calcutta University, so I might be able to give you some details about it.
- Calcutta University (CU) is one of the oldest functioning institutions in West Bengal.
- It is popular among students.
- In Calcutta, most of the colleges are affiliated with CU.
- The one thing that every CU student is familiar with is their strict grading system.
- Scoring even a 60% is very difficult. Some students even think this is a good enough score if you are a student of CU.
- Nowadays top reputed MNCs also demand at least 60% to be able to sit for placements.
Finally, you should keep in mind that other mentioned universities may not be as old and experienced as CU, but they will show a bit of leniency while giving marks. So ultimately the decision is yours, whether you want to study in a reputed university with a strong and reliable alumni network or opt for the easier way out by getting admission to newer institutions.
Which is better, CSE at IIITM Gwalior or CSE at IIITDM Jabalpur (considering aspects like coding environment, faculty, placements, etc.)?
I have few friends at both IIITM Gwalior and IIITDM Jabalpur. Based on the conversation I had with them, I will say IIITM Gwalior is the better option for CSE.
The faculty at IIITM Gwalior is great. Most of the faculty members have Ph.D. The placement record of IIITM Gwalior is also quite impressive.
Here are the recent placement statistics for the institute.
|

Which MBA is better, IMT Ghaziabad (dual country course) or an MBA from BITSOM Mumbai?
Too close to call. Both are good choices to consider. On the other hand, if I have to take a call, I will most likely use BITSOM. Based on the below-mentioned reasons;
- Has a clear and compelling vision. aspires to be one of the best schools there is. Has aspirations on a worldwide scale.
- Has recruited highly qualified faculty and teams
- Very strongly supported
- Being open to making investments.
Therefore, it's possible that both will be tied in the short term, but I have a feeling that in the long run, BITSOM will pull ahead. The MBA, on the other hand, is strictly a long-term investment.
