Which should I choose: XLRI BM or IIM Kozhikode?
XLRI BM is the better option. It is an old B-School and ranks right after IIM A, B, and C. It has a large and varied alumni network. You will find XLRI alumni in almost every reputed companies.
XLRI BM has a smaller batch size. So, it’s easier for students to get decent job opportunities. XLRI placements are great. During the 2022 placement drive, the average CTC received by the students was INR 30 LPA.
Which should I choose between Jadavpur Univerity and IIEST Shibpur?
Here is some information on both these colleges. At the end, the choice is yours to make-
- Academics- The curriculum, faculty and labs for EE are good at both the colleges. But for CSE and ECE, JU is a far better choice.
- Teaching Quality- Even if some faculty members aren't up to the INI standards, they can’t be replaced as IIEST is a government college. Because of this, JU has a far better quality of teaching.
- Library- The reading room at IIEST is far better. It is huge with lots of databases and ample reading space. But JU has a far better digital library system.
- Infrastructure- The infrastructure at IIEST Shibpur is being developed at a good rate. Its hostels desperately need improvement and expansion.
- Placements- JU consistently outperforms IIEST in placements.
- Campus Life- IIEST Shibpur does not have a campus life, and senior-junior interaction is negligible. The campus is lifeless in this sense. JU has a vibrant campus life, but with so much happening on campus, you’ll need to draw your limits and not get diverted.
Both the colleges are good, but JU is the better choice.
Which is better, IIEST Shibpur or Jadavpur University?
To decide which college is better than the other, here are some things that you should consider. These parameters include the following.
- Ranking: If you check the latest NIRF ranking, IIEST Shibpur ranks at 43rd position while Jadavpur University ranks in 12th position among the other institutes.
- Top University: Jadavpur University has got the tag of “University” but IIEST Shibpur does not have any tag as of now.
- Curriculum / Culture: Coming on to the important parameter, Jadavpur University has a very rich coding culture. This has helped in brushing up the skills of students up to a greater extent.
- Placements: Jadavpur University has a very strong placement cell and this is the reason for their outstanding placement stats year after year. On the other hand, IIEST Shibpur has an average placement stat.
- Accommodation Facilities: IIEST Shibpur provides you with better facilities. There are separate hostels for separate batches and from 3rd year onwards, you can choose a single room. At Jadavpur University you might need to compromise because all the batches get the same hostel.
- Changing Branch: One of the demerits of studying at Jadavpur University is that if you haven’t got your favorite branch after 1st year, after 3 WBJEE Counselling, spot round occurs depending on your WBJEE rank and that is the last chance to change your stream. Changing streams at IIEST Shibpur is a much easier procedure.
Both the institutes are the two legacies of this state and they both have produced extremely talented alumni. Though IIEST Shibpur does not have high placement records as of now one cannot predict what will happen after 4 years. So, don’t choose an institute solely based on the brand value. Just see if you are able to find the relevant stream or not. To get into one of these institutes, you really need a good score in WBJEE.
How are SPJIMR operations compared to NITIE operations in terms of placements, alumni, and teaching?
When it comes to operations, NITIE is unbeatable compared to SPJAIN for at least the next ten years, and the same is true for finance and marketing, as NITIE cannot beat SPJIMR for the next decade. Here are some reasons to consider:
- Placements: If you're an operations graduate, NITIE has every recruiter you could possibly want, giving you more options to select the profile you want. Additionally, the average package is higher in SPJMIR, but that's due to factors such as batch strength with no reservation and the ability of private institutes to do more than government institutes. Overall, NITIE is the best choice for placement based on operations.
- Alumni: NITIE has a legacy of producing excellent graduates, and you'll find NITIE alumni at virtually every company.
- Teaching: SPJIMR has better professors for general courses, but NITIE has exceptional professors for operations elective courses. Ultimately, both are equivalent, and it comes down to how many case studies you complete.
- Diversity: NITIE only has engineers, while SPJIMR has a more vibrant crowd. Therefore, SPJIMR has the advantage in this area.
- ROI: Return on investment is the most important criterion when choosing a college. NITIE has the best ROI after FMS, making it an obvious choice. Big loans can drag down your package by 5-6 L a year, which is not worth it.
- Campus life: While my knowledge about this factor is limited, I have heard that SPJIMR doesn't have a proper campus and shares it with other colleges. NITIE has a larger and better campus, especially for nightlife.
Overall, NITIE is a much better option than SPJIMR for operations and as a college in general. While SPJIMR has excellent marketing strategies, factors such as GFT and Rural internships are just gimmicks to bring the college into the top 10. Additionally, SPJIMR began inflating their placement reports due to institutes like MDI doing the same. It's essential to check the data for yourself and not settle for others' beliefs, as everyone has their own. NITIE is relatively unknown due to being a government institute that cannot advertise like SPJIMR or MDI. Additionally, the operation is not as prestigious a stream as finance and marketing in the corporate world, giving NITIE a bad reputation. However, NITIE is the clear choice for operations, and you should do your research and make an informed decision.
Has my daughter made the right decision by taking a CSE at IIIT Hyderabad instead of electrical at IIT Roorkee?
Although it actually depends on your daughter's interests and career goals, I would say choosing CSE at IIIT Hyderabad was a smart decision indeed unless she has a specific inclination toward Electrical Engineering.
IIIT Hyderabad CSE can be highly compared to the CSE programs of the top 6 IITs. It has a highly updated and relevant curriculum that is CS tailored to suit the needs of future coders. Moreover, the institute focuses a lot on practical learning which prepares them for the future. IIITs are undergoing fast-paced development and might take over the IT world very soon.
Another aspect that makes IIIT Hyderabad a better choice than IIT Roorkee is its no-reservation policies. The students here are admitted solely based on merit so you will always be surrounded by geniuses.
So yes the IIT tag matters but not more than our branch preferences, and that being said, IIIT Hyderabad is the best for CSE so your daughter has made a wise decision!
Which should I choose: NIT Kurukshetra CS or DTU electrical engineering?
Out of the two, I suggest you choose CS at NIT Kurukshetra. The reasons are-
- CS and IT provide much better job opportunities than other branches.
- The subjects, overall curriculum and practicals of CS are much more interesting than Electrical.
- At NIT Kurukshetra, the CS/ IT placements are good.
- Companies like Snapdeal, Flipkart, Amazon, Lenskart, HP, etc. visit the NIT Kurukshetra campus during placement season.
DTU is a good college as well. But considering the branch you are getting offered at each, I recommend you choose NIT Kurukshetra. NIT Kurukshetra offers a good curriculum and placements in CS/IT.
How is IEM Kolkata? Which is better, CS at IEM Kolkata or civil/IT at Jadavpur?
IEM Kolkata is a reputed technical college in the region. But given a choice, you should take Civil/IT at Jadavpur University. JU ranks among the top engineering colleges in the country. It is well ahead of IEM, in terms of placement and opportunities.
Many core companies visit JU to recruit Civil Engineering students. The IT placement is excellent. Companies such as Microsoft, Google, etc. take part in Jadavpur University placements. During the 2022 placement drive, Facebook offered the highest CTC of INR 1.8 Crore per annum. The second highest CTC was INR 1.4 CPA, by Google.

Which one is better-Electronics and communications in Dtu or nsit?
My sister pursued her B.E. in Electronics and Communication from NSIT (NSUT). She was also confused between the two options when she got her JEE Mains rank. Finally, she chose NSUT. These are the reasons behind her decision-
- NSIT (NSUT) is well-known for Electronics. Before their separation, NSUT was a part of DTU that specialized in Electronics.
- The faculty for electronics is better at NSUT. There are well-known and highly respected faculty members under whom you can do various projects.
- The CEDT Lab at NSUT, funded by Texas Instruments is famous in other colleges as well and people from other colleges also enroll themselves to work in the CEDT Lab.
- NSUT is not as overpopulated as DTU. This leads to comparatively less competition and better placement opportunities.
Overall, NSUT is a better choice to pursue your Electronics and Communication Engineering.
