I got only 59.61 percentile in DILR. But in English and maths I got 97 and 88 respectively, overall 90.71. Will I get calls from IMI Delhi and XIMB?

If you have an aggregate percentile of above 90%, you can go with IMI Delhi as the marks are not evaluated subject-wise. However at XIMB, they have mentioned that they will have a sectional cut-off, but you are above 50% in all the sections.

But before you choose any of the institutes, you should ask yourself, if you put enough effort into quants and DILR while preparing. If the answer is no. Then, it will be better to prepare for another year and aim for a better score.

If you put in the hard work now, you can get into a much better B-School like IIMs, SPJ, etc. A better school means more academic pressure, but in the end, you will end up with a better CTC and a reputed company. In corporate life, pressure is not available, so why not aim to do it with a better salary?

If you put in 18 hours of work for 6-7 months, your percentile will definitely improve. And if staying motivated is a challenge for you, you can get a mentor who will push you to do better.

So, although IMI and XIMB are pretty good options, it will be better if you try to better your percentile.

It depends on the course you're interested in and if you're in the home state category or not. If you are from your native state, you should have a minimum of 130 points; if not, add 20 to 30 points more.

Recent cut-off stats of NIT Trichy for popular courses is given below. 

Branch  General rank OBC rank
ECE 847- 3022 425 - 1011
Chemical engineering 3225-12056 1972 – 4207
Computer science engineering 163 - 781 108 - 242
Mechanical engineering 2468 - 6,591 1194 - 2,139
Electrical & Electronics Engineering 954 - 5,381 932- 1,717
Metallurgical and Materials Engineering 12765 - 20,809 4407 - 6,908
 

Anywhere between 200 and 300 will get you a good nit with the branch you're after. So 200 should suffice.

What are the chances of your selection in IOCL, BPCL and NITIE Mumbai if you scored a rank of nearly AIR 1000 in the GATE from the mechanical stream?

Advait Joshi Posted On : May 19th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

My brother is a B.Tech pass out from Electronics Engg. at IIT (BHU). His experience was absolutely disappointing and he told me about the bitter reality of IIT BHU. The faculty is very unqualified and the curriculum is obsolete and irrelevant to the current trends in the industry. 

You will be surprised to know that some profs don't even have Ph.D. despite the fact that they are the only professors for that subject in the dept. Also, the administration of the college will provide a total of friction against any kind of endeavors you may seek. You will find some professors really difficult to tolerate. Though the current HOD is an excellent professor/researcher and very progressive/dynamic; so is not the case with the entire dept. 

The TPO cell is very stagnant; they have a very weird logic of inviting core companies. Getting a new company approved for placement is next to impossible. The placement rate itself is very very bad. As per the research quality of the department, there are no research groups for many important core domains. It's extremely disappointing with it being an IIT and all and having worse research scope than an NIT in many fields. Also, they won't encourage independent research.

You don't have enough electives to choose from. The classrooms are gloomy.

While you can, go to a good NIT, or a BITS Pilani college. Electronics Engg in IIT (BHU) is a bitter disappointment.

Should I go for the ABV-IIITM Gwalior CS branch if my JEE rank is 8965, or is there any better option available at this rank?

AP
Aishwarya Patel Posted On : February 23rd, 2021
ABV IIITM

Arriving from an IT background, my cousin has had certain suggestions regarding the spot counseling offered at ABV-IIITM Gwalior.

At this rank, NIT Kurukshetra or IIITM Gwalior would definitely be considered as the best fit, if you're planning for CS. The tips given below may help you in choosing the right option. 

Coding Culture:

IIITM Gwalior has a far better coding culture as compared to NIT Kurukshetra. This information can be confirmed from Spoj, Codechef, Topcoder and more similar platforms. The only NIT which is popularly known to have a better coding culture than this is NIT Allahabad. Other choices, which will probably fulfill your requirement are BIT Meshra, IIIT Allahabad.

Placements in IT/CS: 

  • You can get a decent package of 12 LPA, for CS and IT branches in NIT, Kurukshetra. On the other side, it is 11.5 LPA for IIITM Gwalior on average. Although, the first CS batch of IIIT Gwalior will pass out in the year 2022.
  • The top recruiters of the students passing from ABV IIITM are among top companies, like Amazon, Directi, Belzabar, Samsung, TCS, Paytm.

Curriculum:

  • Computer Science Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra is basically hardware-oriented, giving a better grasp on complex non-conventional problems. 
  • At IIITM Gwalior, CSE and IT is mainly programming oriented, thus building softwares from scratch becomes a hand in trade for the students there.

Going by the factors mentioned above, it is safe to say that IIITM Gwalior will be a better choice for CS.

Can I get BIET Jhansi with a general rank of 5k in UPTU?

PS
Paheli Singh Posted On : June 10th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science Engineering, Bundelkhand Institute Of Engineering And Technology (2020)

One of my close friends attended BIET and according to him with a general ranking of 5000 in UPTU, there is a very minimal chance to get into any branch of BIET.

But make sure you fill for all the branches in BIET in your preference at the topmost position. There are chances that you might get selected for branches like Civil Engineering and Chemical Engineering.

In 2020, trends of BIET in rank according to branches are here as follows.

Branch

Cut-off by rank

B. Tech in Computer Science Engineering

1101-1514

B. Tech in Information Technology Engineering

1945-2139

B. Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering

2389-2992

B. Tech in Electronical Engineering

3267-3583

B. Tech in Mechanical Engineering

2967-3666

B. Tech in Civil Engineering

3898-4420

B. Tech in Chemical Engineering

3817-4376

However, at times there is an internal sliding in the college. Suppose, the seats get vacant in the topmost branches, the college gives a chance to students according to their rank to change their branch.

So, if you are allotted with any branch then go for it.
