It is difficult to choose when the comparison is question is NISER vs IISER. Choosing one institute over another will not matter much if you stay dedicated to your studies after taking admission. NISER and IISERs offer decent academics and facilities for fundamental sciences. NISER has a great Physics department. If you are choosing an IISER, make sure it is an old one.

Is Hamirpur a very cold place? Should I take climate into account before joining NIT Hamirpur or IIIT Una?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : September 13th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

No, NIT Hamirpur is not a very cold place. Its surrounding area of snow-clad mighty Dhauladhars might give the impression that it's extremely cold here but in reality, there isn't any snowfall. This is because the campus is situated approximately 4km from the main town and is at a higher elevation.

The climate here is very pleasant and the vegetation is also impressive. Even during the hottest days, the temperature does not go beyond 27°C). During winters, the temperature ranges between 16-18°C, and it is mostly sunny outside. However, if you are from the Northern area of India, you might find the winters in even semesters (January) very cold. Winter is followed by spring, one of the best times of the year. Most of the summer days are spent on holidays so that isn't a big problem.

Overall, the winter season at NIT Hamirpur does not ring in extreme weather conditions and the cold climate is usually bearable. You can pack accordingly after considering the weather conditions throughout the year.

  • They have amazing research facilities in every department, mechanical to electrical. They are at par with IITs and BITS.
  • They have clubs and societies both technical and non-technical. The technical societies include Team Fateh, OWASP, CCS, IEEE SC, IIEE, etc.
  • Thapar is one of the oldest colleges with very well maintained infrastructure.
  • Placements are really good at Thapar.
  • The only thing that is a bit much is the course fees.
Categories Thapar University
Course Fee 13.23 lakh
Highest CTC 24-26 LPA
Average CTC 14-16 LPA

Thus, we can conclude that Thapar University is not only popular for its infrastructure and other related facilities but at the same time, the university is well-known for the decent placement offers that marks an edge for every student.

lives in Lucknow

If you join Dr RMLIMS instead of KGMU, Lucknow, you would be missing the opportunity to be a part of one of the top 5 medical colleges of India. You would miss the Georgian tag. You will miss the rich legacy attached to the institute. You would miss campus life at a huge college. You will miss the amazing infrastructure no use. RMLIMS is an excellent medical college but it is still way behind KGMC by a significant margin. It has recently launched the UG course i.e. MBBS so it will take time to establish itself. 

All in all, KGMC is the better option at least as of now.

Which is better, Heritage Institute of Technology or BP Poddar Institute of Management and Technology?

DB
Devika Batra Posted On : October 11th, 2021
Studied at B.P. Poddar Institute of Management and Technology

Both the Heritage Institute of Technology and BP Poddar Institute of Management and Technology are technical colleges affiliated to the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT), West Bengal. 

Before deciding which is better, let us first understand each college’s pros and cons.

Pros

Heritage Institute of Technology 

  • Huge campus, serene environment, great infrastructure, great area for hangouts
  • Good faculty and plenty of options to choose your specialization
  • Good placements. There is a high probability that you will end up in TCS

BP Poddar Institute of Management and Technology

  • Situated closer to the airport and has multiple transportation options
  • Haldiram’s, Eco Park, CC2, and many other outdoor options are present
  • Placements are decent and many companies such as EY, Bosch visit here for campus placements
  • Ragging is completely absent with some minor “intro” or some small tasks

Cons

Heritage Institute of Technology

  • The location is the biggest problem as you will not find any public transport nearby. You will have to walk miles to get a small cigarette shop. And forget about dining options and restaurants nearby.

BP Poddar Institute of Management and Technology

  • The faculty are decent but you will need the help of lab assistants more often than the professors
  • Fests and other celebrations are not as prevalent as other campuses
  • The canteen is very small
  • Infrastructure is very limited with no playground, no auditorium, and no grand construction
  • Uniform is compulsory

Both are equally good colleges and ultimately you will be getting the certificate from the same university with almost the same level of teaching. You will get around a 15% chance of getting a job in a core sector company. So decide for yourself what you want looking at the pros and cons of both the colleges.
