What should I choose between SVNIT CS or DAIICT??

AA
Aarti Ahuja Posted On : January 4th, 2024
Lives in Ahmedabad

My JEE Mains rank was good enough to get me a seat at SVNIT for B.Tech CSE. I finally decided to join ICT at DAIICT because-

  1. The faculty members have completed their Phds from renowned Indian and foreign universities, and each of them are actively engaged in some research work.
  2. The course curriculum is regularly updated, unlike the NITs that keep on teaching the old curriculum for long periods of time without regular updates.
  3. ICT is a combination of CSE and ECE. So its curriculum is very broad and rich. This is the reason why more companies prefer DAIICT over SVNIT.
  4. Only about 360 students are selected for the B.Tech program of DAIICT every year. This speaks volumes about the quality of students on campus. 
  5. A good number of DAIICT students are selected for GSoC.
  6. The coding culture is at par with IIIT Hyderabad and top IITs. DAIICT students go on to become ACM ICPC finalists. The environment is perfect for competitive coding, and the students are doing really well on popular competitive coding platforms like Hackerrank.
  7. The clubs and societies of DAIICT are very active. There is an IEEE Student branch, with IAS (Industry Applications Society) chapter.
  8. There are special interest groups for machine learning, mobile apps, artificial intelligence, etc. There are technical clubs like Programming club, Google Developers Group, Microsoft Students Technical Club, Webkit, etc.
  9. Some of the non technical clubs are- the Debate club, the Press club, the Dance club, the Music club, and more.
  10. The SBG-Student Body Government is a mediator between the administration and the student community. The seniors of SBG are very friendly and helpful. They can be approached with any problem.
  11.  Like SVNIT, the DAIICT campus is also ragging free and very safe for juniors. 

I would recommend you opt for ICT at DAIICT Gandhinagar.

Which is better NIT Jamshedpur or NIT Bhopal?

SB
Shivani Bansal Posted On : April 9th, 2021
Studied at Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, Bhopal

One of my friends has graduated from NIT Bhopal and knows the ins and outs of the college. Its infrastructure, its internal politics, quality of education, mess facilities, and against all odds its successful placements record.

Apart from just this, there are other factors that make NIT Bhopal more acceptable as compared to NIT Jamshedpur.

  • NIT Bhopal will be a better choice as its reputation is higher than Jamshedpur. 
  • The placements in NIT Bhopal are better than NIT Jamshedpur. 
  • Faculty are experienced in both but I will say NIT Bhopal has its extremity.
  • When we talk about infrastructure NIT Bhopal again wins it here. Against the dilapidated hostels of NIT Jamshedpur is the modest, home-like, hostels of NIT Bhopal with a 24x7 power supply. 
  • Moreover, the mess is the place where half of the major fun takes place. 

Discussions, criticizing the teachers and the grading system, curse surprise tests all this amidst “enjoying” the mess food.

M.Ch Neurosurgery, Madras Medical College, Chennai (2020)

Kolkata Medical College and Madras Medical College both are well-reputed medical colleges. Here is a comparison of the institutes. 

  • Both institutes offer decent academics. But due to immense political pressure in Kolkata, there are routine interferences.
  • There are multiple hostels at both medical colleges. Madras Medical College Hostels are under MCI scanner, so cleanliness is a priority there. At Kolkata Medical College, only the Main boy’s hostel is under MCI scanner. 
  • Both colleges boast of having one of the best faculties in India.

Both medical colleges were established way back, thus the infrastructural facilities offered are similar.

Which is better for CS/ECE NIT Hamirpur, NIT Jalandhar, IIIT Kancheepuram, IIIT Jabalpur?

AJ
Arshit Jain Posted On : January 4th, 2023
Undergrad, IIIT Jabalpur

Keeping in mind the academic environment and placement statistics, the following should be the preferences:

CSE at NIT Hamirpur, IIIT Jabalpur, NIT Jalandhar, and IIIT Kancheepuram.

ECE at NIT Hamirpur, ECE at NIT Jalandhar, IIIT Kancheepuram, and then IIIT Jabalpur.

Choose a college with a broadband internet connection in the hostels for CSE. In general, the faculty at all of these colleges will be mediocre, and you will be forced to rely on the internet for your education. Once the CSE and hostel broadband requirements have been met, consider which college is closer to home, near a city, and not in a country where you do not speak the native language.
