My friend is a student of Pune Institute of Computer Technology (PICT) and has a better opinion on the same. The CS branch in PICT is among the top three CS course offerings in the Maharashtra State Colleges. Here are some of the advantages of choosing PICT Pune CS.

  • You will have good classmates who are among the top 10% in either MH board exams or the CET exams.
  • You will get better placements, the average of which has been around 90%. The placement details of both institutes are as follows.

Institute

PICT, Pune

IIIT Bhubaneswar

Average CTC

7.75 LPA

3.6 LPA

Highest CTC

91 LPA

  • PICT also has a good alumni network.
  • The major upside of choosing PICT is that you can be in close touch with the corporate side from the beginning of your 3rd-year college projects and events. It is because the location is favorable.
  • According to my friend, the professors at PICT are well experienced.

However, before making any decision, you should run a check on both of the institutes.

I've been selected for IBMR, Gurgaon as well as Banasthali University, Jaipur. Which one is better?

BA
Barkha Agarwal Posted On : April 8th, 2021
BSc. Geology from Banasthali University (2019)

You will always get to hear that Banasthali University Jaipur is way better than IBMR Gurgaon. Though IBMR is one of the best management schools in India, Banasthali triumphs over it by being included in the top 10 management schools in India.

Categories

IBMR Gurgaon

Banasthali University, Jaipur

Course Fee

4.95-5.25 lakh

4.01 lakh

Placement Percentage

90%

80-90%

Highest CTC

12-15 LPA

28 LPA

Average CTC

6-10 LPA

12-13 LPA

Recruiting Companies

Aditya Birla, Jaro Education, CCD, ExtraMarks, etc.

Flipkart, Goldman Sachs, Oracle, TCS, Amazon, etc.

  • The disciplines, infrastructure, hostel facilities at Banasthali are far better than IBMR or rather any other college.
  • Though IBMR being situated in Gurgaon experiences frequent industry visits and has several collaborations with many companies. 
  • Banasthali unlike IBMR will help you move your career forward and pursue your dream job. They have better placements, a better schedule, where students have to attend regular classes, work on presentations, improving their behavior and attitude while attending interviews, etc. 
  • A 75% attendance rate is mandatory, due to which a proper discipline and schedule are maintained for the students to follow. This helps them learn about punctuality and working under pressure, which will be very beneficial in the corporate world. 

Several industry visits and seminars are also held for students, to familiarize themselves with the industry.

Is ICT Mumbai better than the computer of COEP?

AR
Aman Raj Posted On : January 28th, 2021
B.Tech Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering & Computer Engineering Minor, COEP, 2019

Chemical Engineering and computer science are two completely different subjects, even though they belong to one broad stream of Engineering. The student needs to decide first your stream of specialization, which course they are interested to study. If your answer is chemical engineering then ICT Mumbai is the best option. 

There should be three solid reasons behind a student selecting ICT Mumbai, which are:

  • The quality of education, faculty, and placements is on par with the IITs. The ICT Mumbai campus is known for its lively culture along with the organization of multiple technical and cultural fests. 
  • A student will enjoy an out-and-out exposure, gaining theoretical knowledge in class and simultaneously putting them into practice during their practical ventures. 
  • The placement rate in ICT Mumbai is good, the only set-back is that it is restricted to chemical engineering only.

If a student has decided to study chemical engineering and his following plans are along the lines of the reasons mentioned above, then ICT Mumbai is his/her place to be.

ICT Mumbai is only best in chemical engineering, not computer science. Similarly, COEP is the best for computer science and not chemical engineering. Therefore, the student should get a surety on the subject they want to pursue and then go to the college that is best for that particular stream.

Why are IIM Ranchi and Raipur underrated compared to IIM Udaipur even after better placement records?

SK
Swathi Kiran Kumar Posted On : January 21st, 2023
Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Management Raipur (2020)

I think the single most important reason why IIM Raipur and Ranchi are considered below IIM Udaipur is the lack of proper marketing. IIM Udaipur has managed to make its mark through enough marketing and promoting research culture. The IIMRs is also flawed in the sense that they are located in extremely poor economic states. This flaw overshadows all their features and the fact that they have better placement scenarios than IIM Udaipur.

Every IIM has set a certain goal and is gradually climbing the ladder to reach its level of excellence. The same is the case with IIMRs. In just a few years these two will be among the best IIMs in India.

Which is better, HBTU Kanpur or IIIT Pune?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : December 26th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

IIIT Pune is comparatively a very new college, and its first batch passed out in 2020. On the other hand, HBTU Kanpur has a rich legacy. It has completed more than 100 years, and is one of the oldest engineering colleges in India.

As a result HBTU has a strong alumni network, and its graduates are working in different brands all across the world. Reputed MNCs look up to HBTU Kanpur for placements. Location-wise though, IIIT Pune has an upper hand, as Pune is a tech hub. Moreover, IIIT Pune has COEP as its mentor institution. 

I would personally recommend HBTU Kanpur over IIIT Pune, given the former’s rich legacy over all these years. Placement-wise, even IIIT Pune is a good enough choice.
