How is New Horizon College of Engineering in CSE placements?
One of my friends suggested that CSE placements in this college are much better than other branches. Other branches like ECE and EEE struggle a lot to get good companies which CSE students get at one go.
The campus drive is conducted one year after passing out from the college. Many cores, noncore and BPO companies come here for placements. Good packages are offered to the students. Some of the companies also have a bond of 2 to 3 years.
The placement report of the batch of 2020 is as follows:
|
Students registered for placements |
852 |
|
Highest CTC offered |
INR 20.14 LPA. |
|
Lowest CTC offered |
INR 3.5 LPA. |
|
Median CTC offered |
INR 6 LPA |
|
PPO offered |
767 |
|
Highest stipend offered |
INR 70,000 per month. |
It is suggested that you should work more on your coding skills and other technical skills to get good placements.
How do I prepare for the IIIT Hyderabad PGEE exam for the computer science branch?
My sister gave IIIT Hyderabad PGEE Exam in 208 and claims it to be easier than GATE. The number of questions varies every year but the pattern somewhat remains similar. The exam had two papers.
Paper 1 - Aptitude (Time: 90 minutes)
- This one comprised 40 questions out of which 20-25 were quantitative questions, 5-10 questions were based on programming and mathematics, and 10 questions were based on comprehension
- Some of the most common topics covered were Calendar, Clocks, Directions, Blood Relation, Time and Distance, Probability Syllogism, Number and Series, Data sufficiency, and Propositional logic.
- As a whole the level of difficulty was easy to medium.
Paper 2 - Technical (Time: 90 minutes)
- This paper comprised 60 questions out of which 20-25 questions were from previous years Gate/Isro paper. The remaining questions were related to simple subject knowledge.
- The level of programming questions and data structure questions was higher than in the Gate exam.
- Each question had more than one answer and not ticking all the right ones would lose you marks.
- Again, the level of difficulty was easy and anyone who had cleared GATE could clear this too.
It's best to adopt the same strategy you used for GATE preparation and you will surely get good results.
Why do so many people take Computer Science from IIT Bombay?
If I have to be honest, I think pursuing Computer Science at IIT Bombay is just a sheep mentality-driven dream pursued by a majority of Indians. Not many who take CS are genuinely interested and passionate about it, rather they opt for it because most genius minds consider it the best option.
The media comes to play as it advertises the highly inflated packages offered to CS students at IIT Bombay. The aspirant gets attracted to such glittering figures and flocks to IIT Bombay in the pretext to land similar packages. The media and society mold aspirants to believe that money is everything in one’s career and should always be the priority. As a result, students tend to opt for CS and don’t even consider other Engineering branches for fear of getting packages lower than those offered to CS students.
One can easily conclude that most engineering aspirants are unaware of their inclinations and thus become victims of sheep mentality. I have seen many students who join Computer Science and later realize that it’s not their forte.
Which is better for CSE, NIT Hamirpur or NIT Jalandhar?
Without any second thoughts, go for CSE at NIT Jalandhar. Here are some strong points to support my opinion.
- NIT Jalandhar has a vast IT park on its campus
- NITJ Jalandhar promotes startup culture and has also made an incubation hub for the same.
- NIT Jalandhar has better placements than NIT Hamirpur.
- NIT Jalandhar has a good location and is in close proximity to Chandigarh. This makes it possible for students who want to prepare for civil services and GATE.
- More companies visit NIT Jalandhar than NIT Hamirpur.
Unless you are a nature lover and want a peaceful and serene experience at Hamirpur, it’s better to go to NIT Jalandhar.
What is the placement and average package of CSE in SOE CUSAT?
Analyzing the placement scenario of CSE in SOE CUSAT through the statistics is not right because the figures don’t convey the exact scenario. This is mainly because of the improving crowd quality and cutoffs. Additionally, the institute has witnessed top-notch companies like Oracle, Google, and other e-commerce companies like Amazon, Flipkart, and Snapdeal.
But the students fail to secure good packages because the ones that are good in programming fail to meet the CGPA cutoff while the ones that quality the cutoff don’t clear the interview due to poor programming skills. However, some exceptionally good students get placed in companies like IBM with around INR 36 LPA.
The key highlights of CUSAT placements 2023 are presented below:

What should a non-genius student do to get a seat at IIT Kanpur CS?
It’s good that you have a target in your mind and aren’t leaving everything to luck. The best way for a non-genius student to get a seat at IIT Kanpur's Computer Science program is to work hard and consistently. Rather than stating the usual; solving previous year question papers, joining good coaching institutes, coordinating school with coaching classes, and self-study, I will talk about some of the most basic things that people often undermine
- Whenever you feel you are falling into a slump, remind yourself that there are hundreds of students who want you to fail in order to grab your position. Remind yourself of this continuously and you will find yourself out of that bubble.
- It’s important to assess your own abilities and be honest with yourself rather than being overconfident. I have seen people who are confident with their academics end up with poor grades. Don’t undermine yourself but don’t even overestimate yourself. Remember you are surrounded by geniuses.
- Don’t get addicted to useless stuff and activities that waste your time. Instead, go for a walk or read for a break.
- You should have prepared yourself mentally and physically for the sacrifices you have to make and the efforts you have to invest.
- Study books that make you understand the concepts in a simpler manner yet give you a comprehensive understanding.
- Motivate yourself with the possible outcome and the reaction of your family. Keep yourself reminded of the happiness and success will harbor.
I would like to end the answer on a final note: There are no non-geniuses, just bad students who do not pay attention in class and bad teachers who do not teach well.
