How is the College of Engineering Trivandrum compared to NIT Calicut?

MJ
Melvin Joseph Posted On : May 24th, 2021
B.Tech from College of Engineering, Trivandrum (2019)

One of my friends was a student of NIT Calicut and a relative of mine is an alumnus of the College of Engineering Trivandrum. So the answer will be a comparison of their experiences.

Exams: 

  • The system of Kerala University involves allowing the students to appear for supplementary exams to avoid delay in studying for their B.Tech degrees. 
  • In NIT, you will have to repeat the exams you have failed in. This can be either a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you approach your curriculum and exams.

Admission:

  • Students getting admission to CET have to appear for the KEAM; except for a small quota which is reserved for students from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Mizoram, Nagaland who perform well in the National level Entrance test for NITs and IITs.
  • For this reason, the cross-section of the class shows that there is a majority of Keralites.
  • The campus of NIT Calicut seems to be diverse as students come from various states of India.

Classes:

  • In CET, the classes are like the timetable of a school with a lunch break in the middle. The classes usually get over at 4:00 PM. 
  • In NIT, the classes are not scheduled one after another and you can go to the hostel to catch a breather. The students probably have a say in how they want the classes to be scheduled throughout the week. Depending on your plans, you might find the intermittent NIT classes to increase your productivity.

Learning:

  • In CET, the marks that one obtains in the exams are in no way related to the understanding of the subject matter. 
  • The system cannot distinguish between rote knowledge and understanding which is seemingly different from the conduction of exams in NIT. 
  • It is difficult to predict question papers in CET.

CET students also get a lot of freedom as NIT students. They get ample time to do whatever they want.

Which is a better IIM among IIM Indore, IIM Shillong, and IIM Ranchi?

RS
Radhika Srivastava Posted On : January 9th, 2023
PGDM from Indian Institute of Management Ranchi (Graduated 2019)

Each of them has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. And, instead of choosing the oldest college or the highest package as the criterion, students should conduct a SWOT analysis to see which colleges best align with their long-term goals.

IIM Indore: Because of its age, it is regarded as a premium choice among the student fraternity. However, a closer examination reveals that the batch size of 600+ is a grave trap for students with mediocre backgrounds. With a large batch size, you have little chance of being shortlisted by big brands appearing in their report. However, getting into an older college with a good reputation will work out in the long run if one works hard in the corporate world.

IIM Shillong: Founded in 2008, not long before the new IIMs, it has its own interviewing process rather than the CAP. Both the new IIMs and Shillong are progressing at the same rate. On the other hand, the state of affairs in the world. This is primarily due to logistical constraints; recruiters for IIM grads are typically top-level managers. Each minute counts for top-level executives, and losing time for travel is the last thing they want to do.

IIM Ranchi: One of the country's fastest-growing IIMs, it has seen phenomenal growth in recent years. IIM Ranchi has outperformed Shillong in a short period of time. IIM Ranchi has two flagship courses, PGDM and PGDHRM, and is the only IIM that offers HR-specific courses. With most of the early alumni in higher HR positions, they have an advantage over other colleges in convincing them to bring companies to campus. As a result, their placement is improved, and with smaller batch sizes, everyone has nearly equal opportunity. However, IIM Ranchi has its own constraints, as it is still operating from a temporary campus. IIM Ranchi is the slowest to build its own campus.

How is SPM and Kalindi college of Delhi University?

PJ
Priya Joshi Posted On : January 18th, 2022
B.A. (Journalism) from Kalindi College, University of Delhi (2016)

One of my friends studied at Kalindi College of Delhi University. According to her, it is a really good institution and offers decent opportunities. SPM is also a good college and it has its fair share of pros and cons. It is a well facilitated institution. Here are some facts about both of them:

Kalindi College:

  • They have a highly experienced faculty. They are also helpful towards the students, you will get to learn a lot from them.
  • The student crowd is diverse.
  • Students here have to maintain a 80% attendance, otherwise they will not be able to sit for the examinations.
  • Being in Delhi, it offers enough industrial exposure.

SPM: 

  • It has active clubs and societies students can take part in. 
  • They give a fair opportunity to every student. 
  • It also has one of the best auditoriums in all DU colleges. 
  • Their canteen is affordable and offers hygienic food. 
  • The administration and faculty are not up to the mark. They are not cooperative with the students.
  • The faculty members do not take initiative to encourage practical works, allow creativity, have valid arguments, etc.
  • Also the college does not provide hostel facilities so people either have to live as paying guests or have to commute on a daily basis. 

So even though you might get ample opportunities like internships there is no active participation for this SPM lags a lot behind than the other DU colleges.

Overall SPM is a below average college where management does not put the slightest efforts to make it a better place. Therefore Kalindi will be a better option.

Hello sir, which will be a better option between NITIE Mumbai and IIM Indore …there are many controversies about Indore that batch size being huge it's difficult to get placed there?

MS
Mayank Singhaniya Posted On : May 10th, 2023
Studied at IIM Indore

It is subjective and it completely depends on your goals and your preferences, and how much the IIM tag matters to you. If you are really keen and want to have a career in operations and especially supply chain management then you can/should go for NITIE. 

For all other streams go for IIM-I without any second thought. The placement is good there even with the big batch size and all, and why consider yourself at the bottom of the batch before even entering the institution? Even if you are able to keep yourself in the top 50 percent you will get a good and lucrative job and package. 

Below is a table comparing the two on the basis of fees, and packages;

B-School

Should I join NITIE or IIM Indore?

AM
Abinash Mishra Posted On : May 13th, 2022
MBA from National Institute of Industrial Engineering (2019)

You should join NITIE. Although it is mostly known for Supply Chain and Operations, it offers good opportunities in other industries as well. NITIE placements trends reveal that recruiters from FMCGs, BFSI, consulting sector, and IT/E-commerce also visit the campus placements. So, you will have better chances of landing a job in a leading company. According to the placements highlights of 2022, the average CTC for NITIE stood around INR 25 LPA. 

IIM Indore has a huge batch size. While the batch size of NITIE is concise, students get the required attention from teachers. The location of NITIE is also favorable. Doing an MBA from Mumbai will definitely help you get good internship and placement opportunities.
