How is Mtech in IIT Delhi compared to Mtech in IISC Banglore in Computer Science?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : April 5th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

One of my friends had both options, MTech in IIT Delhi and MTech in IISc Bangalore, however, despite his hailing from Delhi, he chose IISc Bangalore over IIT Delhi. Some strong reasons which influenced his decision were

  • The Institute has excellent research facilities and approaches second to no other engineering Institute in India.
  • IISc Bangalore does not have a BTech program and thus the entire focus of the faculty resources, education, and resources are invested in the Master's program unlike IIT Delhi, where BTech is given more importance.
  • IIT Delhi has a higher intake of UG students than PG students and they are given more preferences and attention than UG students.
  • Being situated in Bangalore, the IT hub of India IISC has close ties with IT companies visiting frequently for some or other events or technical competitions
  • Most GATE toppers prefer IISc or IIT Bombay over IIT Delhi and so do the companies offering placements.
  • The overall ambiance of campus life is more tranquil in IISc Bangalore than in IIT Delhi which is an overly populated and polluted city.
  • IISc is being recognized by foreign universities and one can pursue their Ph.D. with a degree from IISc.

All these pointers strongly inclined my friend towards IISc and he eventually completed his MTech from there.

What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at IIT Dhanbad?

AS
Ankit Sharma Posted On : October 12th, 2023
B.Tech. from Indian Institute of Technology, Dhanbad (2018)

As an alumnus, I have a fair share of experiences and takeaways from my college. Here are some tips for freshers starting their journey at IIT Dhanbad:

  1. You should be proud of having secured admission into one of the top engineering colleges in India. But don’t stop working hard, and chasing even bigger dreams.
  2. Unlike what some seniors will tell you, GPA matters a lot. During placements or for higher studies, GPA plays an important role. Maintain at least 8-8.5 GPA throughout. 
  3. You’ll meet some of the finest professors over there. However, some professors will hugely disappoint you. Learn to make peace with the fact that all your teachers won’t be up to your expectations.
  4. Talk to your seniors and juniors. You’ll learn a lot through networking with people.
  5. Join college clubs and societies. They will help shape your personality.
  6. Apart from technical skills, work on your soft skills as well. They’ll be very important during the pre-final and final years. Make use of the free time during your first year to work on your soft skills. If you aren’t a good speaker, join LITC/Toastmasters. 
  7. Travel a lot during college years. 

These are some tips from my personal experience. Other than that, study well and make the most of your time at IIT Dhanbad.

How is ICFAI Hyderabad IBS?

YA
Yash Arora Posted On : March 6th, 2023
Studied at IBS Hyderabad

The reputation of ICFAI has declined over the years. Previously, it was known for its MBA program, but its reputation was tarnished by affiliation issues for its B.Tech course. Some B.Tech campuses in Hyderabad, Bangalore, Jaipur, etc. had to be shut down due to a student strike that lasted for nearly a semester, and the non-affiliated B.Tech program run in these campuses. This negative publicity also negatively impacted its MBA program.

It is unclear to what extent the college has recovered since then. It is recommended that you consider colleges with a better track record. With a 98 percentile score, you may also be able to score well in other exams. Additionally, the fees charged by ICFAI, along with the investment of two years in the degree, make it a significant investment. So, it is advised that you consider other options.

B.Tech. Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (2019)

The score required in GATE to get a seat in IIT Madras varies every year depending on various factors such as the number of applicants, the difficulty level of the exam, and the number of available seats in the institute. 

Here is a general idea of the GATE score required to secure a seat at IIT Madras:

  • For M.Tech programs: Candidates need to score at least 600-700 marks (out of 1000) to have a good chance of getting into IIT Madras. However, the cutoff score may vary depending on the department, category (General/OBC/SC/ST), and the candidate's GATE score relative to other applicants.
  • For Ph.D. programs: GATE score for Ph.D. programs in IIT Madras is also department-specific and varies depending on the research area and the number of available seats. Generally, candidates with a GATE score above 650-700 have a good chance of being shortlisted for the Ph.D. program at IIT Madras. However, the cutoff score may vary depending on the department and the number of qualified applicants.

It is important to note that the GATE score is just one of the criteria for admission to IIT Madras, and the institute also considers other factors such as academic performance, work experience, research publications, and performance in the written test and/or interview. Candidates are advised to check the department-wise cutoff scores and the admission criteria on the IIT Madras website and prepare accordingly.
