Is IISc is better than IIT?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : May 4th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

IITs are for those who are on the lookout for jobs and have little or no interest in research work. IISc on the other hand primarily focuses on research work. 

Basically, to pursue a career in any branch of engineering, the industry-oriented Bachelor's program offered at IITs is perfect. But for a research enthusiast who is keen to pursue a career in research, IISc is the best option.

Ultimately, the better institute is one that aligns with your preferences and area of interest.

For better reference, I have compared the IISc placement statistics with the topmost IIT Bombay

Particulars

IISc

IIT Bombay

Highest Salary

INR 40 LPA

INR 3.67 CPA

Average Salary

INR 10 LPA.

INR 23.26 LPA

Top Recruiters

Oracle, Toshiba, Godrej & Godrej, HSBC, Intel, Mahindra, Cisco, Dell, HP, KPMG, Walmart, EY, etc.

American Express, Honda Japan, Mc Kinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group

You can clearly see that IIT Bombay offers much better job opportunities than IISc.

Which is better, IISc or IIT Bombay?

SG
Shree Gupta Posted On : April 5th, 2022
Ph.D. at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (2020)

It actually depends on your degree. For bachelor's courses, IIT Bombay is a better choice. IISc started delivering UG courses recently. But for PG courses like M.Tech or Ph.D. IISc is definitely the better option.

B.Tech is the most valued course at IIT Bombay. It gives the UG student a sense of superiority. While each department of IISc has a limited number of PG and Ph.D. students. The building and resources are completely separate for UG and PG students. 

The student-professor ratio of IISc is around 7-8 students per professor. While it is around 25-30 students per professor at IIT Bombay. 

IISc MTech branches have a better placement record as well. Good placement opportunities, multidisciplinary approach, research focus, are some of the perks of joining IISc.

Which college is better: VIT or KIIT?

KS
Kalyan Sahu Posted On : July 24th, 2023
Lives in Bhubaneshwar

I feel I am the right person to answer this as my brother and a friend are in VIT and KIIT respectively. From what I heard from them, I derived the following conclusions 

  • KIIT Campus is huge and you can find posters of Mr Achyuta Samanta at every corner of the campus. It looked more like an advertisement.
  • The campus has a good location and enjoys the advantages of Bhubaneswar city.
  • However, you will find very less diversity here as most of the engineering students are from East Indians. 
  • The hostel rooms are spacious and well-ventilated. The overall campus is clean and beautiful with decent facilities

My friend at VIT also experienced a similar situation as both are private colleges striving to attract students. 

Particulars 

VIT 

KIIT

Ranking

8 out of 200 NIRF

16 out of 200 NIRF

Recruiters 

924

350+

Highest CTC 

INR 1.02 CPA

INR 63 LPA

Average CTC

INR 9.23 LPA

INR 6.5 LPA

Top Recruiters 

TCS,  Microsoft, Airbnb, Qualcomm etc

Tata Power, ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel, JSW Energy, JWIL Infra Limited, Stellantis, Accenture, Cognizant, TCS, etc.

If ever you are left with these two choices, I suggest you go for VIT as it has better placements and ranking.

Is NIT Surathkal better than DTU?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : July 7th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Here are a few factors to consider while comparing NIT Surathkal and DTU. 

  • Alumni network: NIT Surathkal has a better alumni pool and also has better harmony than NSIT and DTU alumni. 
  • Startup culture: Located in close proximity to Bangalore, NIT Surathkal has a rich startup culture A few startups that were given birth by NIT Surathkal students are Nestaway, Practo, BHIVE, Taxiforsure, Quest software, etc. DTU also encourages entrepreneurship given the fact that it has given to startups like Father of Pentium and PayTM.
  • Location: NSIT is located in the heart of the capital city and enjoys maximum location benefits like connectivity to IGI Airport, Dwarka, and Gurgaon. DTU also has a great location and NIT Surathkal has the benefit of Bangalore access. 
  • Brand name: The increasing number of NITs in every corner of the country has diluted the brand value to a great extent. This is not the case with DTU and NSIT who have been able to maintain their uniqueness and thus enjoy better brand names.

In all, all the 3 institutes you mentioned are prestigious institutes that will offer a plethora of opportunities in shaping your career. What matters is how well you grab the opportunities and climb the success ladder.

Which is better IIIT Hyderabad or BITS Pilani on the basis of placement?

DS
Divya Saraf Posted On : June 27th, 2023
Lives in Hyderabad

IIIT Hyderabad strongly focuses on CS and it’s known for its excellent coding culture while BITS Pilani focuses equally on a variety of specializations. At IIIT Hyderabad students are introduced to CS subjects right from the first semester while in BITS Pilani the first semester comprises subjects from various disciplines.

As for placements here is a detailed comparison:

Particulars 

BITS Pilani Placements 

IIIT Hyderabad Placements 

Number of recruiters 

109

50+

Highest package 

INR 60.75 LPA

INR 74 LPA

Average package 

INR 30.37 LPA

INR 32 LPA

Top Recruiters 

Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Visa, Adobe, Cisco

Bloomberg, Code Nation, Deloitte, Facebook, Google, HSBC, Indeed

IIIT Hyderabad has a smaller Campus compared to BITS PILANI and also has fewer facilities than BITS. Also, IIIT Hyderabad does not have a very happening campus life, and extracurricular activities are rarely given importance. BITS Pilani on the other hand has many cultural and sports events. 

It’s better to look beyond placements and look at the bigger picture. That being said, IIIT Hyderabad is a good choice if your passion is coding while if you want a good college life and want to develop your personality as a whole, BITS Pilani will serve you best.

Which way is better to do an MS general surgery and then take up neurosurgery as a superspeciality or the direct 6yrs Mch Neurosurgery course offered by AIIMS and NIMHANS after an MBBS?

SR
Swastika Roy Posted On : October 6th, 2021
MBBS Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery Degrees, Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences

I know a person who is pursuing Neurosurgery and he does not feel it is not necessary to go through 3 years of MS general surgery before taking up neurosurgery. As a 6-year student, he was supposed to rotate through 10 months of general surgery.

He did not find general surgical skills that he acquired during the rotation, of much use in neurosurgery, other than the very basic knot tying and suturing skills, which can also be acquired through dedicated lab practice.

The other techniques followed in neurosurgery are significantly different from those followed in general surgery. The extensive use of the surgical microscope and bipolar coagulation for hemostasis distinguishes this surgical discipline from general surgery.

Today, neurosurgeons typically use access surgeons (thoracic surgeons or urologists) if they want to perform any unconventional approaches to the spine, which is much safer for the patient.

A lot of post-MS students don’t find much difference in incompetence or spectrum of surgeries and they are comfortable when compared with those having gone through six years of courses.

Globally, there is a trend towards running integrated courses only. Also, in India, pursuing a 6 years’ course after MBBS means you will have one less entrance examination to worry about.

Which institute is better, ISB or IBS in Hyderabad?

KC
Karthik Chawdary Posted On : February 16th, 2023
Studied at ICFAI Business School, Hyderabad (2020

It’s highly illogical to compare a well-recognized brand like ISB with a no-name institute like IBS. It seems you are a bit confused between the 2 schools because comparing them is a literal joke. 

ISB is ranked 1st in India and 4th in Asia and 32nd in the World at Best B Schools. It’s a B School that competes with top B schools like IIM ABC and here you are comparing it with a C grade B school in the country. 

Almost anyone can get into IBS owing to the low qualifying scores needed and high number of seats available. Whereas getting into ISB is difficult even with a GMAT score as high as 99 percentile. ISB has the best corporate relations team in India and they work hard to get the roles that you want in the corporate sector.

The two colleges may share the same alphabet in their acronyms but there are nowhere similar when it comes to the brand name and worth.

How good is FMS as compared to IIMs?

YJ
Yogesh Jindal Posted On : December 28th, 2022
MBA from Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi (Graduated 2013)

Usually, people consider IIM ABC better than FMS. Some parameters on the basis of which people usually compare these colleges are

  • Brand value: The top three IIMs ABC have more brand value than FMS. But the brand value is valuable only in the short run. After a few years, your achievements and results will determine you not your college brand value.
  • Infrastructure: All the 3 IIMs have the upper hand in infrastructure and FMS is not even near them. The IIMs boast excellent hostels, huge open spaces, and state-of-the-art auditoriums. Whereas FMS has one seminar hall, two large lecture halls, 8-10 classrooms, a small canteen, and a small lawn. But great infrastructure is not a prerequisite for great management education.
  • ROI: The fees at FMS is very low in comparison to other IIMs. You can easily pursue an MBA without a student loan. So whatever package you are offered is more than enough. Whereas the fees at IIMs are extremely high and require heavy student loans. So you graduate with a monthly EMI of 40k for 5 years or so. Even with a higher placement than FMS, the ROI is not comparable.
  • Alumni network: If you check the list of FMS alumni, you will find it is very much comparable to the top IIMs.
  • Faculty: The faculty of FMS is equally good if not better than other IIMs. FMS is more about experiential learning. Apart from a strong focus on academic and theoretical learning, there is a focus is on live projects, industry interactions, and corporate competitions. All this leads to the overall development of the students. So we can say the faculty and teaching are at par with IIMs.
  • Campus life: The infrastructure, hostel facilities, and beauty of campus make the campus life of IIM students better than that of FMS which is a residential college.
  • Placements: The batch size at FMS is almost half of IIMs. So the competition is also less. But the major consulting companies that visit FMS offer very few roles in comparison to IIMs. 

You can use these parameters to decide which is a better B School for you.

Why should one choose VMMC over MAMC?

Shwetha S Posted On : April 1st, 2024

VMMC offers 170 seats for the MBBS program whereas MAMC offers a total of 250 seats. While both VMMC and MAMC are very renowned colleges, the first year at VMMC is still quite stress-free whereas MAMC adheres to a strict curriculum. 

VMMC offers a top-notch infrastructure with modern equipment and supportive staff. It has one of the largest government hospital complexes in India along with Asia’s largest OPD. On the other hand, MAMC also offers decent infrastructure and facilities on campus for students’ overall well-being. 

The primary reason for aspirants to choose VMMC is the Internal PG reservation. Since VMMC is affiliated with IP University, UG students (MBBS) are eligible for an internal PG Quota and can secure MD/MS seats at VMMC. 

It is advisable to choose VMMC to avail the benefits of reservation for PG courses. Although, MAMC doesn’t provide any reservations for PG courses. Students graduating from MAMC are equipped with a strong academic foundation and can be highly competitive.
