Which is better for CS, IIIT Allahabad vs NIT Trichy?

AA
Aarti Ahuja Posted On : July 20th, 2023
Lives in Allahabad

Both IIIT Allahabad and NIT Trichy are excellent institutes imparting engineering education. Choosing the better between the two will require comparison based on some common aspects

  • Campus life: IIIT Allahabad has a very rigid and restricting campus life as you will be surrounded by nerds. The academics are very tough and most of the time will be spent in completing assignments. NIT Trichy has a bit of flexible and lively campus life.
  • Clubs: IIIT Allahabad does not look beyond academics and the extracurricular culture here is very lacking. The clubs here are very few in number in comparison to NIT Trichy which has more than 50 clubs.
  • Coding culture: IIIT Allahabad being the academic m-oriented institute obviously has better coding culture than NIT Trichy which focuses on the overall development of its students. NIT Trichy has more students in core branches than CS. 
  • Higher studies: If you are planning to go for higher studies such as an MS from a top foreign university, then IIIT Allahabad will be a better choice for you.

Considering the fact that the placement scenario of both the institutes is at par with each other, choosing one over the other depends on the kind of college life you prefer. If your goal is to just study and get placed in a top tech company, then IIIT Allahabad is a great choice for you but if you want to experience a good campus life and enjoy your engineering years, then NIT Trichy is better.

Which college should I choose between AIIMS Patna or MCK?

Studied at The Heritage School, Kolkata (2018)

AIIMS Patna and Medical College Kolkata (MCK) both seem to have their own perks in the different areas of anyone’s interest. Here are some facts that you need to know before making any decision.

AIIMS Patna

  • Many believe that AIIMS Patna is a very new college but you can not avoid the fact that it is an AIIMS. 
  • Due to the same reason, it is very well recognized abroad so go for it if studying abroad is your goal ultimately. 
  • Also, it is well funded therefore the infrastructure and campus are of a top-notch level. 
  • The teaching faculty as well is on a better level than MCK. 
  • They have got all the co-curricular activities covered too. 

Medical College Kolkata (MCK)

  • MCK is not a centrally aided institute so the infrastructure lacks a bit more than that of AIIMS Patna. 
  • But the environment is a very healthy one without any political interference in the college procedures. 
  • The greatest perk is that it is a 180-year-old college which results in a huge alumni network. 
  • Also, if you are a student from Kolkata then you fall in the state reservation quota of 50%, unlike AIIMS. 

Both the colleges are good at their own places, choose the one that suits your requirements. This will be a major step up for your career.

Lives in Allahabad

The MCA program offered by NIT Kurukshetra is highly regarded and can be compared to that of NIT Trichy easily. It offers the resources, academic environment, and facilities necessary for a good learning experience. However, at some point, you have to resort to self-studying because the teachers cannot spoon-feed you all the time. 

You will have to make yourself eligible for the placements by working hard to add value to your CV. More than the reputation of the institute it's your efforts that matter. You can join various tech clubs to get better exposure and learn coding.

Here is a brief overview of the MCA program offered at NIT Kurukshetra

Which is preferred: a PESIT VTU degree or a PES University degree? Why?

AB
Aman Bhalla Posted On : March 15th, 2023
Bangalore,Karnataka

It's challenging to determine which is preferred between a PESIT VTU degree and a PES University degree, as both have their pros and cons.

PESIT VTU degree may be preferred as it has a long-standing reputation and has been around for a while. The degree is recognized by many top companies, and graduates from PESIT have gone on to secure excellent job opportunities. The syllabus is well-established and has been tried and tested for years, ensuring a well-rounded education.

On the other hand, the PES University degree is a relatively new degree, and its value is yet to be determined. However, it is independent of the VTU and provides more specialized education in the chosen field. The syllabus is enhanced, and the university has modern infrastructure and technology that can be advantageous to students.

Ultimately, it depends on what one's priorities are. If a well-established reputation and recognition by top companies are important, then a PESIT VTU degree may be preferred. However, if specialized education and access to modern infrastructure and technology are priorities, then a PES University degree may be the better option.

I got admission into metallurgical and materials engineering at NIT Warangal. What would be the future if I join there?

KS
Kalyan Shastri Posted On : August 18th, 2023
Lives in Warangal

I have a friend who completed his BTech in Metallurgical and Material Engineering from NIT Warangal last year. According to him, the institute and the branch offer a plethora of academic and job opportunities during and after the course.

The department provides ample opportunities to those who are genuinely interested in the branch or the subject. Passionate students receive great help from the faculty but you need to be self-motivated to avail the resources. 

Here are a few future prospects for a Metallurgy and Material Engineering student of NIT Warangal

  • You can pursue a career in research if you are a research enthusiast and bagging fat packages is not your goal.
  • The placement opportunities are a bit limited given its average scenario. The highest CTC stood at INR 25 LPA while the average package recorded this year stood at INR 13 LPA

Today, the alumni of this department are pursuing successful careers so I feel in the long run you will be able to benefit from this too. So go for this branch!

From where B.Tech is better? Thapar, Patiala or NIT Kurukshetra?

MA
Madhav Aneja Posted On : September 1st, 2023
Lived in Chandigarh, India

There are several factors that you need to consider while making a choice. 

NIT Kurukshetra is definitely much more economical than Thapar. There was a time when Thapar was superior to NIT Kurukshetra. But with time, things have changed a lot for both the colleges. 

At NIT Kurukshetra, the teaching quality varies with departments. Most professors are very learned and supportive. The professors of ECE department are quite learned. However, they are also very strict with their students. The placements are good at both. You can check the placement scenario at Thapar and NIT Kurukshetra . 

NIT Kurukshetra and Thapar are both good colleges and have their own strengths and weaknesses.

Which is better for a person getting JEE rank greater than 3500: Get brand name of IIT without top-notch branch or join NITs/DCE/NSIT with CS/EE?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 23rd, 2023
lives in New Delhi

If your rank is more than 1000, you’ll probably not get CS/ EE in any good IIT. But if you still wish for an IIT tag, I would recommend you go for a more relaxed branch. This means, picking the branch with the lowest closing rank. I am saying this because apart from the CS/EE/Mathematics group, all the branches come under the category of “others”. Unfortunately, all these “other” branches are equally placed.

  • The coursework, curriculum, and labs are very bland, boring, and outdated. With these branches, a good CGPA and extracurriculars will be the saving grace for your resume. 
  • A lower branch will allow you to secure good grades more easily and you will get time to pursue extracurriculars. 
  • By doing courses on Coursera and Udacity and making open-source contributions, you can become skilled and learn in coding/programming. Through various online platforms, you can get in touch with software companies in the valley. 

If you are passionate about a field, be it Mechanical or Chemical, definitely go for it. With a passion for your field, you will secure a good core job or can even plan your Phd. in that domain. I would also recommend you check the integrated MSc. courses in Mathematics/Statistics/Physics. They might be a better and more beneficial choice.

As far as NSIT/DCE/NITs are concerned, I would recommend you talk to some seniors from the CSE/EE branch to get a better idea. Otherwise, go for a lower branch in the IITs if you do not get a “top notch” branch at them.

Is Calicut Medical College better than AIIMS Bhopal or Bhubaneswar?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : June 6th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

My cousin from Kerala was in a similar dilemma and had to choose between Calicut and AIIMS Jodhpur. Eventually, she went for AIIMS Jodhpur and stated a few reasons that encouraged her to take this decision.

  • Despite being good, Kerala colleges cannot match the standard of AIIMS which in itself is a brand.
  • AIIMS are in the development phase which means that they are only going to get better while the Kerala colleges are old and have stagnant growth.
  • Being old, Kerala colleges lack the modern hostel and sports facilities that are available in the new AIIMS. 
  • The internship period in government colleges is challenging leaving no time for PG preparation while AIIMS has a relaxing internship period giving students enough time to study during the night and evening.

All in all, my cousin was impressed by the hostel facilities of AIIMS Jodhpur and loved the fact that she would be getting a single room with an attached balcony and bathroom!
