What is the placement scenario for energy engineering at NIT Trichy?

TS
Tejaswini Shripada Posted On : July 19th, 2023
Lived in Tiruchirappalli

My sister was a student of the Energy Engineering branch at NIT Trichy and is currently working for Robert Bosch. Her batch was placed decently and she claims that most students with a Mechanical and Electrical background got good job offers. Is the chemical and biotechnology students that suffered the most. For them, it’s better to pursue research than look for a job. 

In 2018, her entire batch of 11 students was placed mainly because all the students were from the Electrical or Mechanical branch. 

So we can say that the placement scenario of Energy Engineering at NIT Trichy is decent and the job opportunities depend on your profile and background.

How good is the integrated circuits and systems M.Tech programme at IIT Madras?

AS
Anamika Sinha Posted On : March 29th, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

If you are considering pursuing an M.Tech program in India, the Integrated Circuits and Systems (ICS) group at IIT Madras is an excellent choice. This program is considered to be the best M.Tech program in India and is even better than M.Tech from IISC or any other old IITs. Here are some reasons why:

  • Tie-ups with industries like Texas Instruments: The ICS group has tie-ups with various industries, including Texas Instruments, which provides students with the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects.
  • High possibility of getting placed in Texas Instruments: Due to the tie-up with Texas Instruments, the chances of getting placed in this company with a salary of at least 16+ LPA are much higher if you build your concepts to a greater depth.
  • Impressive publication record: You can refer to the ICS group's website to see the kind of papers they have published. This indicates that the faculty are actively engaged in research and are contributing to the field.
  • High-quality teaching: The ICS group has uploaded videos of their courses on their website, which you can watch to get an idea of how well they teach.
  • Excellent placement record: IIT Madras has the best placement record, especially for Analog design engineer positions. This means that if you complete the M.Tech program from ICS, you are likely to have excellent job prospects.

Of course, studying at IIT Madras is not easy, and you will have to work hard to survive. However, the effort will be worth it, as your knowledge will be much higher than graduates from other IITs. It is essential to note that exceptions exist.

In conclusion, if you get the opportunity to study at IITM's ICS group, it is strongly recommended that you take it. Not taking advantage of this chance may lead to regret later on.

SG
Sushmita Gupta Posted On : April 3rd, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

Here are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at IIT Delhi

  • Try to work harder than the bare minimum and don’t limit yourself to specific tasks only
  • Attend your classes regularly. This will help you prepare for your exams with minimal effort.
  • Maintain your CGPA well despite your seniors' advice that CG does not matter. In reality, it does matter especially to secure good roles and packages. Moreover, foreign universities consider your CG when selecting for higher education
  • Alongside your academics, make sure you pursue your hobby or anything that gives you a break from your studies
  • Explore every nook and corner of your college and interact with almost everybody. Avail of every opportunity that comes your way.
  • Don’t adopt a sheep mentality and follow every trend that your seniors have been following. For example, people tend to choose to code even if they are not interested just because it fetches good placements. 
  • Whenever you feel you are at your lowest, share your concerns with someone, and don’t just keep bottling things inside.
  • Have a balanced diet and try to hit the gym
  • Stay away from distractions and bad habits
  • Interact with people with different personalities and mindsets to broaden your network

All these pointers will help you shape your future and make you a better person.

Is Amity university Mumbai good for psychology?

JS
Jahaan Sharma Posted On : April 17th, 2021
Studied at Amity University Mumbai

Yes, it is a good option for psychology. The Amity University campus in Mumbai has some really decent faculty within the psychology department. As a psychology student, you will get a number of assignments, various regular practical sessions as well as other research activities. All these are carried out throughout the year so you will definitely be kept busy.

  • A small drawback is a fact that the campus is located away from the city, so you might not have hip hangout spots to explore. 
  • Another thing is that engineering students have some subjects in common with other branches i.e. one branch might have subjects of the other that could be interrelated to one another. However, this is not the case with the Psychology course. You will not have to struggle with this issue.
  • A plus point is a fact that all courses have another additional 3-year course known as a Minor track. Here, you can select a field you’d like to explore other than the one you plan to major in. For Psychology students, these options include English literature, European studies, Management, Human rights, and Embedded systems. While management possibly has limited seats, you can definitely choose from any of these options.

International Collaborations: 

  • Additionally, the university is also in works with the University of South Carolina for partnering on a student exchange program. 
  • You will also find a number of psychology books for your referrals in the library, albeit they are not present in large numbers. 
  • You will often find yourself conducting surveys, carrying out research, writing research papers, participating in flash mobs, and many other activities throughout the year.

In my opinion, you should definitely join Amity University Mumbai. You will have a great time here and you will be able to explore this field in a greater depth as well.

B.Tech Computer Science, National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2020)

The campus life of NIT Calicut is quite good compared to other institutes, but cannot be considered as a campus with excellent facilities. The campus life mostly depends on how you want to spend your years and cope up with the pressure and life altogether. A generalized overview of NIT Calicut is described below in points.

  • The campus of NIT Calicut is not too huge, with all major buildings nearby to each other. Only the Mega boy’s hostel and Ladies hostel is situated at a separate residential campus. It usually takes 10-15 minutes to commute inside the campus.
  • The campus has enough greenery, but with a lot of rain. There is a problem with water and so, heat is an issue to be survived.
  • There is no such happening place around the campus, except the bus stop and an area known as Kattangal, with a few restaurants and shops. Being about 40 minutes away from the city, students usually take a bus to the city or visit the restaurants nearby.
  • After 9 PM, girls usually don’t prefer going out roaming around the campus. A strict curfew is maintained from 7 PM, in which 1st-year boys maintain the discipline. Senior boys have their own tricks to roam around anytime. The college is a little discriminative about these rules, but such situations are changing slowly.
  • Classes run for variable durations and depend upon the department and year. Some have classes for less than 4 hours and some about 6-7 hours. 
  • The hostels are NIT Calicut are quite old, with the mega hostels being comparatively newer. Even the quality of rooms and internet facility is better in Mega hostels. 
  • The messes are of various types in the hostels. Seniors get to switch messes. The quality of food at mess depends upon the contractor. 
  • Coming to sports facilities, there is an average football field, a rocky hockey field, a tennis court, a volleyball court, and 2 outdoor basketball courts. There is an auditorium with 2 table tennis boards and 3 badminton courts. The football team of the college has done well in recent years.
  • The labs are quite well equipped, with good internet. The software systems lab has the best internet on the campus and is open to all students. All the hostels have sufficient internet facilities too. There is a quiet library, a study center, and a digital library that is free from chaos and peaceful enough to sit and study.

Among all, students on the campus learn to adjust to circumstances, make friends, explore the environment and make the best use of available resources in NIT Calicut. The campus life is all about fun and interests, and NIT Calicut is a place worth it.
