After my cousin visited both IET Lucknow and HBTI Kanpur, he experienced certain things which I am going to share with you. Here is what he says,

• The administration does not often treat students with courtesy. Sometimes, because of that, they mislead the students.
• IET Lucknow does not have access to online accessories. They still practice the use of a register.
• IET Lucknow, if contacted, does not respond, which is a major drawback at times.
• The institute does not refund the amount deposited in any case whatsoever. You have to personally visit the administration to further optimize the situation.
• There can be a possible absence of several lab facilities.
• The syllabus can at times be outdated. However, you must update your information regarding the same.
• The placement drive also partly needs refurbishment, other than most criteria.

So these are some of the things you might want to consider before choosing the institute. As it will decide your career ahead.

The Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Engineering (PGDIE) course offered by NITIE Mumbai is a management-level course. So growth opportunities are very good. 

• NITIE Mumbai will definitely offer you a very good opportunity to work with some of the biggest companies in India. 
• These companies include HUL, ITC Ltd., Amazon, P&G, KPMG, Deloitte, and many other nationalized and private banks as well as other financial institutions.
• It then depends on your own performance how you utilize them and go up the ladder. 

As this is a management level program it does not really matter whether you are from mechanical engineering or industrial engineering or some other. The college gives equal opportunities to all. After you reach a certain level, technical expertise becomes less and less relevant.

The thing is that a degree in MBA has a huge opportunity to do anything individually, rather than the institution. SOMS NITC provides immense opportunities to the students. 

The syllabus may be quite similar to the other institutes, but this institute has an exceptional teaching staff quality. Additionally, the teachers mainly come from NITC, in the case of some specific subjects, which enhances the course's ultimate value.

Besides, the infrastructure facilities of this institute are just impressive. Moreover, it is considered the best among the whole NITC. Placement statistics are also outstanding as many students from this institute get placed, although they do not get much higher packages.

The following table shows the placement statistics of the institute:

The infrastructure is splendid and is considered to be the best among the entire NITC. Most of the students get placed, though the packages offered are not quite high. The students of this institute have developed several committees and forums so that the placement statistics can be enhanced and internship opportunities and public relations can be taken care of.

There are various reasons due to which law undergraduates from NLS Bangalore and NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad earn more than the IIT students. 

• Since the economic liberalization in the early ’90s, economic activities such as FDI, mergers and acquisitions, loans, IT boom, startup culture have really picked up. This has increased the demand for qualified corporate law practitioners. 
• Compliance with the laws of the land is a big challenge for companies, especially MNCs. They are ready to pay any amount to remain legal and work under the ambit of the law.
• The number of law students graduating from top law schools is about 200-250, who are capable of handling the work of the 7 top law firms. 
• On the other hand, IITs and IIMs churn out thousands of students and in very diverse fields as well.
• Law being a very niche field also gives leverage to the students to demand higher salaries. An IIT/IIM graduate may get a CTC of INR 25 LPA. 
• But a law associate will probably be getting a higher in-hand salary with a package of INR 17 lakhs. This is because a law graduate’s salary does not include components such as equity, provident fund, stock options, insurance, and many more.
• An associate at a law firm has to pay a lot of taxes. This also increases a law graduate’s in-hand salary.

The law firms work in the partnershipmodel. Thus a few years down the line you have a chance to become a partner and earn quite a lot more by sharing profits.

It's as difficult as it gets. In the second year, more than half of students have a backlog. 

If you are an outsider, you will have to deal with some unpleasant situations as well; you will not receive excellent internal marks, which are 25 points. Expect nothing from your teachers, but this is true throughout India. 

Attendance should be at least 75%. Only a few colleges have severe standards, while others are more lenient. Attendance should not be taken lightly; lack of attendance might result in semester detention, even in the seventh semester. Students fail practical exams here as well, and backlogs are common. You never know what's going to happen.

Regardless of these factors, I recommend that you go for VTU, just remember that you are here to study; you can do other fun things in addition to studying, but you must not neglect study at any cost. 

In VTU, you can’t score well by studying just the night before the examination. You will have to study regularly. If you study hard during the semester, your marks will be good.

To get a good grade, you need to do well in both the internal and practical exams. Then you can only obtain a 60% in the semester; to get a higher grade, you must do well on the final exam. It is difficult to achieve a score of more than 70 out of 100 on an external exam.

Marking method for VTU:

• Internal marks: 25 (assume it's an A)
• Passing grade=50, which equals A+B.

When thinking about passing grades, If you obtain a 0 in internal, you must score 50 in external. Similarly, if your internal score is 15, you must get 35.
