Which is better: a CSE at new IITs like Patna, Indore or a CSE at DTU?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : June 17th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

My friend was in a similar dilemma last year and chose DTU over IIT Patna. She considers new IITs overhyped and not at par with the IIT standards. Running after the IIT tag is not logical and you should look at the bigger picture. Anaise your career prospects and see if other options fit your prospects or not. 

DTU is a great option for CSE considering the excellent exposure and opportunities you will get in Delhi, the capital. The salary packages, the companies, and the profiles offered at DTU are similar to the new IITs if not better. 

To make things simpler, here are a few pros and cons of going for a new IIT instead of DTU

Pros:

  • The most coveted IIT tag name, helps you get admission to foreign universities and also helps you in off-campus job hunt.
  • IITs have better research opportunities 
  • The academic structure and pedagogy are world-class at IITs

Cons:

  • Being in Delhi will groom your overall personality in addition to excellent professional opportunities and exposure. 
  • The new IITs fail to give a vibrant and dynamic college life and are still struggling with infrastructure and basics. DTU, being old, has a vibrant culture with all sorts of fests, cultural and tech activities.
  • Delhi is the hub of coaching institutes for higher education. 
  • DTU has a better brand name established by its successful alumni spread across the globe. 

Ultimately it’s your choice whether you want a better campus life or the IIT tag.

Studied at Kirori Mal College, Delhi University

One of my friends graduated from this college, and her experience was utopian. Here are some of the things that she mentioned about the institute. 

  • The crowd is incredible. It is competitive and brilliant. The majority of the students get placed in a reputed organization based on their extraordinary skills.
  • The societies are the best part to explore your strengths and interest areas. You can get involved in NCC, NSS, Enactus, music, writing, drama, and sports.
  • The institute has a strong alumni base. It has produced various industry leaders. Most of them are renowned in Bollywood, Art, Business, or even Politics.
  • There are trained teachers with years of experience. They will prepare you for exams but also the hurdles of life.
  • The heritage is enhanced by its gorgeous campus, famous academic building, serene Ashoka lawn, massive sports area, international class gymnasium, and a massive library.
  • Under the Delhi University, the KMC is one of the most active colleges, be it a renaissance cultural festival, society events, or intellectual sessions organized by various departments.

A few of the things that bothered my friend were the non-cooperative administration, the college timing, and the politically engaged crowd.

How is a MSc Finance from JBIMS?

HV
Hardik Vaghela Posted On : February 20th, 2023
Studied at Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies

While considering the worth of any program you should consider 3 factors namely curriculum, peer learning, and profiles offered. Let’s discuss M.Sc Finance from JBIMS on the basis of the following factors

  • Curriculum: The course structure is pretty good and the quality of knowledge one acquires is also decent. Experienced alumni are invited to hold sessions that explore corporate values. The teaching faculty is also learned and experienced.
  • Peer group: Only 30 seats are available for this course so only the best and the cream students are selected. This is also why the peer crowd is extremely talented and there is cut-throat competition. Good peer learning enriched the overall experience of the program.
  • Profiles: The placement opportunities are great at JBIMS and the alumni are always there to assist you. The profiles offered both in internships and placements are also decent. The students are encouraged to participate in competitions to upgrade their skills and gain exposure. Sharing the campus with MBA students adds up to the overall experience.

AG

studied at Kongu Engineering College, Tamil Nadu, India (2017)

One of my friends studied at Kongu Engineering College. According to him, it will be a better choice than MEPCO. 

  • In MEPCO there are times when students have to abide by certain petty rules and regulations, like using mobiles, being unable to attend symposiums, etc.
  • In Kongu, you have the freedom to learn new things. You can learn about both software, the ones in your curriculum and not. 
  • All the professors are knowledgeable and highly experienced. They are extremely cooperative as well.
  • You will socialize with lots of people through clubs, Entrepreneurship cells, organizing committees, etc. 
  • You learn leadership, working with a team, organizing, conducting a function, etc.
  • These things are not offered in MEPCO. 
  • In Kongu you can improve your communication and language skills. 

Kongu, unlike other colleges, keeps you updated every day. Even some of the top recruiting companies take part in their placement program, recruiting many students. 

Therefore, if you want to build yourself up as an individual and also excel in your career opt for Kongu Engineering College.

How is Aliah University for studies?

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

A friend of mine completed his B.Tech Mechanical from Aliah University a few years back. The university operates from three campuses. 

The first one is at Park Circus, where Arts, Mass Communication, etc. are taught. The second campus is at Newton. It imparts various courses on Science & Engineering and Management. The third campus is at Taltala, and courses on Islamic Studies are offered in it. 

The university is quite affordable, and has a nominal fee structure. The hostel facilities are provided at a nominal fee. The practical labs aren’t modern, and need an upgrade. The infrastructure is overall in need of improvement. 

The teaching standards of the faculty are below average, but there surely are some who teach really well. Self study will be your only savior. The university lags behind in co-curricular activities and sports. The campus is seriously affected by politics and political tussle. The placement scenario is very grim, and you’ll have to find jobs off campus, by yourself. 

Thus, I wouldn’t recommend you consider Aliah University as your first choice. The university is quite affordable, but there are several areas it needs to work on.
