I left IIT Patna electrical and electronics for IIT Roorkee civil. Did I make the right decision?
Yes, you certainly made the right decision by choosing IIT Roorkee over IIT Patna. The biggest reason for saying this is that IIT Roorkee is an older IIT, thus having better opportunities, alumni, and experienced faculty. The career opportunities and exposure rendered by an old IIT cannot be compared to that of a new IIT. Irrespective of the branch you choose, old IITs will help you develop as a person.
Additionally, the IIT Roorkee Civil Engineering branch is considered one of the best Civil branches in India.
Many students prefer average branches like Mechanical and Civil at old IITs to top branches like CSE and EEE at new IITs. So go for IIT Roorkee without any second thoughts.
What is it like to graduate from DCE/DTU?
As a graduate of DTU, my sister feels surreal reminiscing about her time at the college. College life is lively and you are always busy with something. There ain’t any compulsion to attend classes and you can get involved in a lot of extracurriculars in addition to enjoying the beauty of the campus. She was amazed by the quality of her peers and loved spending time with intellectual people.
The college days are a blend of good and bad experiences. Even the bad experiences have goodness behind them and you are well aware of this and that’s what makes you proud of being a part of this institute. You strive hard to survive and leave with great life lessons, real knowledge, and plentiful skills.
The reality hits you when your last semester exams end and you wait for your job to start. You realize that you won’t ever be able to meet such people and make such memories again. Soon, you get busy with your new life and make new friends. Ghr occasional meet-ups with old friends make you nostalgic but you are able to move on.
After a few years, you realize that because of your initial struggles and what DTU made you, you can now live a comfortable life. You see the thin line between IITians and Non-IITians fading away into oblivion and feel proud of your college. You keep climbing the ladder higher and achieving great heights. Eventually, you adapt yourself to your new life and the occasional talks about DTU fill your heart with warm memories.

What is it like to be a professor at IIT Delhi?
My friends' father is a newly recruited assistant professor at IIT Delhi and shared his experience of the same over tea.
Facilities
- No extravagant salary is offered but that’s not what professors are usually after
- A new apartment has been built to accommodate faculty

Coursework
- Professors also have a lot of burden and each professor is expected to take one B.Tech and one M.Tech level course in 1 semester. There are around 42 lectures in a semester.
- The professors are free to determine the pedagogy as the exam papers are set and checked by them only. Even the mode of evaluation can be altered according to their will.
- Some professors don’t even take exams and evaluate students' performance based on class participation and term papers.
Research
- Being a prestigious engineering institute, IIT Delhi is responsible for heaps of research work for the Government e.g Delhi Metro, BRT, Ganga Action Plan, etc.
- The professors-industry interaction is very low
- You get plenty of time to pursue your research work
Career prospects
Professors are of different levels: Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, Professor.
The promotion depends on the quality of your research work. Overall, the experience is a mix of research and taking classes simultaneously with a lot of free time in your hand.
Is Jadavpur University better than NIT Durgapur? If yes, which stream would be preferred?
Both the colleges have their pros and cons. Your choice of college should be based on branch. I did my Mechanical from NIT Durgapur and my friend did his Mechanical from Jadavpur University. I am eligible to answer this question.
First of all, JU is much higher in ranking than NIT Durgapur. Also, the fees at JU are way more affordable. As JU is located in Kolkata, IT companies visit the campus more often. As far as core courses are concerned, the faculty for ME especially, is good at both the colleges. But core placements are much better at NIT Durgapur because PSUs visit the campus. On the other hand, JU students have to sit for GATE.
If you wish to study CS, IT or ECE, choose Jadavpur University without second thought. As far as core jobs are concerned, choose NIT Durgapur.

Why is IIIT Hyderabad underrated?
There are a number of reasons why IIIT Hyderabad is underrated, especially among the Indian masses. I will be stating three main reasons
- IIIT Hyderabad is more famous for its coding culture than its research culture. Due to its massive participation in GSOC and MNC placements, the masses fail to realize that it's a research university. It has done excellent research in some areas of computer science.
- IIIT Hyderabad has only two branches so it’s with CS is the main focus so it fails to attract a diverse crowd.
- IIIT Hyderabad has failed to produce PhDs who are continuing largely in academia today
These are some of the common reasons for IIIT Hyderabad being an underrated institute today.
