What is something that I'll benefit from most in IIT Kharagpur compared to other IITs?

AC
Anumita Chatterjee Posted On : March 22nd, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IITK)

One thing that you will benefit from the most by studying at IIT Kharagpur is that you will learn to survive despite all the challenges thrown at you. 

Firstly, its location disadvantage poses many problems like traveling long distances for food, shopping or AC hostel rooms. However, all this will seem meaningless once to develop deep bonds with your peers and end up making friends for life. You will start finding happiness in just Maggie and chai and won’t need lavish food dates to make you happy. Moreover, your personal and communication skills will develop considerably. Befriend your seniors and join societies that promote extracurriculars and you will experience a fun-filled campus life. 

All this will prepare you for real-life challenges and you will be ready to face the world without the armor of the Institute.

Another distinguishing feature of IIT Kharagpur is no restrictions on data usage, LAN bans, or hostel curfew, unlike other IITs.

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 7th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Without any doubt, CSE at Thapar University is a fairly better option than CSE at UIET. The academic culture as well as the availability of opportunities is way more at Thapar and you won’t regret choosing it over UIET.

  • Thapar University has a top-notch infrastructure that improves the learning experience as a whole.
  • The majority of the professors are experienced and learned well-known among the Indian masses.
  • The students are encouraged to do research and many students write their own research papers too.
  • Thapar has a better and more number of recruiters than UIET. You will be surprised to know that last year, Thapar had 395 recruiters while UIET only had 15.
  • The salary packages offered even by the same companies are better in Thapar than in UIET.
  • Thapar has excellent CSE placements above 90%.

The only drawback of Thapar University is its increasing fees. So if you have any financial constraints you need to consider this.

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : May 17th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

IITs and IIMs are the two most coveted tags in the country. The comparison between IIM and IIT has been a long-standing debate. The reason for their high demand is the guarantee of job opportunities at least at MNCs. The high monetary return makes both the institutes equally desired with just the difference in the nature of jobs offered.

Both IITs and IIMs have had an excellent placement record since their establishment and are known to provide excellent packages. The salary of different IITs and IIMs have been tabulated below.

IIT Average Packages

IITs

Average package 

IIT Madras

INR 15,00,000

IIT Delhi

INR 22,50,000

IIT Bombay

INR 20,00,000

IIT Kanpur

INR 15,00,000

IIT Kharagpur 

INR 15,00,000

IIM Average Packages

IIMs

Average package 

IIM Ahmedabad 

INR 26,00,000

IIM Bangalore

IIM Calcutta 

INR 24,00,000

IIM Lucknow

What is the difference in doing a six-year MCh neurology course in NIMHANS and in other colleges in India?

PT
Pradnya Tripathi Posted On : September 30th, 2023
NIMHANS (2022)

I am not aware of other colleges but since my cousin is currently pursuing a six-year MCh neurology course in NIMHANS, I have better knowledge in that regard. 

  1. NIMHANS has a huge patient load and the OPDs are open till late hours in the evening. The cases entertained are very diverse ranging from PIVD to brainstem gliomas. 
  2. There is a dedicated trauma team that receives around 100–150 trauma cases every day from mild concussions to SAH. The OT runs on all working days and every day in case of emergency.
  3. Some of the most common surgeries conducted here are aneurysmal clipping to functional surgeries such as DBS or functional hemispherectomy. 
  4. The academics aren’t compromised and general classes are conducted throughout the week. Here, primary importance is given to clinical exposure so students get a lot of raw material to work with to gain clinical knowledge. 
  5. You will also have enough research facilities to satiate your research thirst. 

Overall, you will have a lot of opportunities and your schedule will be extremely busy while pursuing the 6-year MCh neurology course.

What will a graduate of SPJIMR/IIM-K/MDI miss out compared to someone graduating from IIM’s A/B/C?

K
Krati Posted On : March 6th, 2023
Works at McCann Erickson (company)

This question can be best answered by someone who has had a taste of both campuses. Fortunately one of my friends was lucky enough to move to IIM Ahmedabad after studying for a year at IIM Kozhikode. He shared his experience and the various things that contrasted in both the B Schools.

Faculty: Being the topmost B School, IIM Ahmedabad does attract some of the best faculties that are experts in their fields. They had too much knowledge and experience to impart making the classes a thrilling experience.

Crowd: While the crowd at almost all the good B Schools attracts only the best, IIM Ahmedabad is famous for its exceptionally good peer groups with only geniuses and masterminds in their respective fields.

Academic rigor: Normally B Schools offer a very hectic life with academic pressure combined with placements and clubs and committee activities. But at IIM Ahmedabad the topmost preference is Academics only. You are required to attend 3 lectures of 75 minutes of case study daily. These case studies are extremely lengthy and on average you are required to read 300 pages every day. Such economic rigor is lacking in the case of IIM Kozhikode.

There are several more minor differences between IIM Kozhikode and IIM Ahmedabad but these 3 are the main things an aspirant needs to consider while choosing one of the two B Schools.

Is DTU better than some IITs?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 6th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

It depends on which generation of IITs you are comparing DTU with. If you are comparing it with old IITs like IIT Delhi, Madras, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Guwahati, Roorkee, and Bombay, then the answer is no, DTU stands nowhere near them. 

However, comparing DTU to the new IITs like IIT Hyderabad, Indore, Mandi, Jodhpur etc you will find that DTU fairs better in terms of alumni network, and has better placements than new IITs. You can say that DTU roughly lies somewhere between the old and the new IITs. 

Within India, you will find DTU to have a strong brand name because of its rich legacy of being the mother institution of IIT Delhi and NSIT. But internationally, only IITs enjoy recognition and hardly any foreign companies are aware of the DTU brand name.

If you have options to pursue an MBBS in AIIMS Bhubaneswar or JIPMER, Puducherry, which college would you prefer now?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : June 1st, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

Both JIPMER and AIIMS Bhubaneswar are equally good in terms of infrastructure and academics. While JIPMER has a magnificent campus, AIIMS Bhubaneswar buildings are more modern because of recent construction. Overall, there aren't many differences between the 2 institutes. The academics, infrastructure, and hostel facilities are somewhat similar. but if I was in your place, I would have chosen JIPMER, Puducherry for UG over AIIMS Bhubaneswar. While this may surprise many, I have logical reasons to support my stance. The one solid reason why I chose JIPMER was the beauty and the places to explore. 

  • The breakfast shops in Auroville
  • The Rocky Beach with moonlight shimmering on the water.
  • The Le Cafe 
  • Villa Shanti 
  • Villa Helena, Celine’s Kitchen, DisDis&Co, Satsunga, Le Club, Rendezvous, Villa Krish, Coromandel Cafe, and many more.
  • A pretty resort, Ocean Spray

While some might find it illogical to prefer a certain institute just because of the restaurants near it, for me it certainly is a valid point. As a medical student, it’s very important to take breaks and these beautiful places will surely take you to a different world. 

However, JIPMER is suitable only for UG. For PG, AIIMS Bhubaneswar is the best option because the language barrier is a major problem in the South.

Overall, JIPMER is an excellent option for UG while AIIMS Bhubaneswar can be preferred for PG,

Which is most popular in India: The Delhi University or the Calcutta University?

MB
Monmita Banerjee Posted On : April 26th, 2022
studied at University of Calcutta (2022)

Among these, Calcutta University is better. The university sets the most difficult question papers. You need to put in a lot of effort to score even 60 percent. With the same amount of effort, you can score 80 percent in DU. 

Naturally, CU puts emphasis on in-depth learning. CU students have a more academic-oriented life. While students of DU have the freedom to carry out secondary endeavors.
