What is your review of Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology?

SR
Srinjana Raha Posted On : June 22nd, 2021
B.E. Mechanical Engineering, Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology (2018)

Without any doubt, Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology has several attributes that work in its favor. It is the youngest institution to gain autonomy that is situated 25 km away from the city and there is no traffic during early mornings. Many buses from the college help students and staff for commuting but having your own vehicle would be much better.

Academics:

There are various branches of engineering that are preferred like computer science, electronics and communication, information technology, and mechanical. These four branches have their reputation in the college but computer science is considered best.

Faculty:

The faculty is well-qualified and delivers various programming languages to the students very accurately, which is one of the most important parts if you are pursuing computer science. They have friendly behavior towards students, and easily give marks to them. If you focus on studies regularly then you will be able to score good grades in your exams.

Placements:

If you are an average student with a decent grade of 8-10 then you can secure placement offer in service-based companies. If you have good programming knowledge then you can expect to be selected in product-based companies. But they usually offer supporting roles. The average CTC offered at the institute is around 3-3.5 LPA.

So overall it is a decent college with good academics and facilities.

What is your review of University of Hyderabad?

AS
Aniket Saha Posted On : October 14th, 2021
M.A. Economics, University of Hyderabad (2018)

The University of Hyderabad is a lot more than academics. I have a few friends from the University of Hyderabad and here is their insight on the institute.

  • There are various places you can explore on the campus including the Water Tank, Mushroom Rock, and Check Dam. 
  • Apart from this, you can do campfires on campus, where you can gather with your friends even at late nights and can cook food and enjoy.
  • The University of Hyderabad is not just an institute that provides academics and education. It helps a student gain experience and understands the true meaning of life which is more important than being a reading parrot.
  • The campus is a beautiful and large lush green campus which is so huge that it is further divided into two campuses where students can jog, play any kind of sports be it outdoor or indoor, ranging from Tennis to Football or gym, etc. Therefore, the campus encourages sports at every level.
  • The faculty base of the institute is quite good. They are experienced and cooperative. 
  • The Indira Gandhi Memorial Library is a great place to study. There are lots of study materials and books.
  • The hostels are clean and well-maintained. There are mess facilities available at each hostel. They provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But the quality of food offered is not that great. 
  • The University gives freedom to a student to stay up late at night, to go out of the campus at any hour. You can visit Tankbund or the places you wish to and can be back early morning. There’s no one to supervise.

Therefore, you can opt for the University of Hyderabad without thinking twice.

What is your review of Thapar University(Patiala)?

DC
Dhruv Chowdhury Posted On : August 8th, 2023
studied at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (2020)

Thapar University has a brand name, however, the ground reality for this university is not very pleasant and it is swiftly losing the qualities that defined it in its glorious past. The rankings of students enrolled in the university are going down each year. The administration is taking serious measures against the same, however, because of these measures the other students are suffering. One example is the strict entry and exit timings. 

Academically, your experience in this institution will differ according to your branch. The CSE branch has a cooperative faculty and lenient attendance criteria. This is not the case for other branches. In other branches, some faculty members may hold personal grudges against you while some may fail you for missing the required attendance mark (75%) by as small as 0.1%. The mess is below average and the classrooms are not very impressive.  The administration is very slow. 

However, there are positive points about Thapar University as well. The alumni from Thapar are placed in some of the best companies in India and abroad. It has some of the best synthetic courts in any engineering college in India. There are many teachers at Thapar University who serve as a source of inspiration to their students. Sports facilities for all the major sports are great. Placements at Thapar University are great and the labs are well updated. Even though Thapar is facing a drug problem, its teachers and administration are very active in trying to solve this issue.

Thus, even though Thapar University has outlived its glorious days, it has some positive points too. It is completely your choice whether or not you wish to take admission into it.

Santanu Dey Posted On : August 30th, 2022
B.Com from Kurukshetra University

Kurukshetra University isn’t good in terms of academics. The results aren’t declared in time. The evaluation system isn’t good. The course curriculum isn’t up to date. Coursework usually includes subjects that aren’t related to the stream. The teaching approach followed by the university is theory-oriented. You won’t get much hands-on practical learning experience.

What is your review of University of Toronto?

JF
Jane Fraser Posted On : February 3rd, 2021
Studied Bachelor of Engineering in Mechatronics Engineering at University of Toronto (2015)

If you are planning to join a research based course, there is no better University than UofT. It’s a top ranked Canadaian institute and ranked 21st worldwide by QS World Ranking 2020, thus it is highly competitive with a 43% admit rate. 

Quick stats:

Still, harder than getting into is staying there and maintaining your grades. If you ask for reasons enough to attend UofT; they will be: 

  • Value of their diploma
  • Wide network of students, professors and alumni which they offer
  • Social prestige, Credibility amongst employers 
  • Exposure to research 

One thing which makes UofT stand out amongst other universities in Canada is hands down their faculty. There are few opinions like " you being just a number", "UofT is a study hell" etc but as long as you are determined and have a good attitude towards your studies, success and exposure comes along your way. Remember that socializing is the key for you to fall in love with the University.

Research exposure:

  • Being one of the top research institutes, you will certainly get a high research exposure by working with research faculties and scholars.
  • World class research laboratories with high end equipment are worth mentioning.

Campus:

  • St. George, Mississauga, and Scarborough are the three campuses of University of Toronto with a vibrant urban setting with a perfect environment to study.
  • Campus housing facilities accommodate more than 8,800 students.
  • There are 44 libraries across branches. It is third largest in North America.

  • There are 1000+ diverse organizations and student clubs in the University.
  • University has many Nobel laureates among its faculties and alumni
  • Average salary of UofT graduate in MBA is 133,000 USD whereas science graduate is 93,000 USD

University of Toronto is one of the top notch study oriented colleges. However many students struggle due to its high grading standard and endup transferring out or fail to get into their desired majors due to poor grades in 1st year.
