Which is better: IISc, Bangalore or NUS, Singapore?
In terms of the world ranking, IISc is way behind from NUS. In QS world ranking IISc is ranked at 185th position whereas NUS is at 11th position.
NUS covers a wide variety of courses like Business, Arts and Social Sciences, Computing, Dentistry, Design and environment, Duke-NUS Medical School, Engineering, Integrative Sciences and Engineering, Law, Music, Public Health, Public Policy, etc. Whereas in IISC there are two centers- Science and Engineering. Both of them provide undergraduate, postgraduate, and Ph.D. programs. IISC mainly focuses on research work and provides only BS degrees at the bachelor level. NTU also has limited courses at bachelor level like Biology, Chemistry, Physics, etc.
NTU has good professors and has much better infrastructure, facilities, and global exposure. Because of this, the fee is very high in NUS if compared with IISc. The students are expected to deliver rather than understanding the basics. They have to study advanced subjects in the first semester itself at NUT.
IISc is best if you want to stay in India. But if you want global exposure then go for NUS.
How is IIIT Dharwad?
According to most reviews, students who are interested in getting into an institute with the IIIT tag can join IIIT Dharwad. There are several positives and negatives about the institute, and a brief overview of them is listed below.
- The teachers in IIIT Dharwad mostly have average dedication towards the course they are teaching. There are rumors about teachers discriminating among students, and skipping important topics. Students with biology in school really find it difficult to learn coding with this kind of teaching.
- The laboratories in the institute are yet of average infrastructure. Lab assistants and teachers are not supportive. If you speak Kannada, your life at the campus will be easier. Only the professional communication lab is worth attending.
- There is a strict system of 85% attendance.
- The atmosphere inside the campus is not very positive for studying. There is no permanent campus. Classes are held in an IT park, 3.5 km away from hostels and PGs.
- Every aspect, from internships to placements, needs to be taken care of by you.
- The engineering life is not worth studying in this institute. No proper fests are organized, and only two clubs are properly established, technical and e-cell. There is a technical fest organized entirely by students but did not receive appreciation from the teachers.
- Students get stressed both mentally and physically, studying in IIIT Dharwad. Even the brand name does no good for the advancement of students.
If you are passionate about engineering, it will be better not to choose this institute.
What are statistics of BITS Pilani ME CS placements?
BITS Pilani does not release course-wise placement statistics so the information I have mentioned is not from official resources but from someone who was in the previous batch.
As per him, all ME CS students get placed and around 3 to 4 students with better CGPA are chosen to sit in PS -2. BITS Pilani placement takes place in 2 semesters. In the second placement semester, students get excellent internship offers on the basis of their CGPA. Top recruiters who recruit ME CS students are Qualcomm, Cisco, Mathworks, Microsoft, and Amazon.
Another friend who was in the 2020 batch claimed that almost 100% of the students were placed. The highest salary package offered was 50 LPA, while the average salary package offered was 20 LPA and the minimum salary package offered was 10 LPA. Top recruiter companies are Google, Amazon Sprinklr, Cisco, Samsung, Microsoft, and many others.
Overall, ME CS students need not worry about placements at all.

Does everyone studying at IIT (BHU), Varanasi feel sad about living in an old city with very bad traffic, bad roads, no great cinema hall, no good place to hang out, and a lack of good looking girls?
No, I don't agree with you. My friend was a student at IIT BHU and still reminisces about her time spent in Varanasi. Although she is staying in New Delhi currently a part of Varanasi still stays with her she misses the pollution-free air of Varanasi and the scenic moments she spent by the river.
Her current life in Delhi is very urban and fast-paced and she misses the tranquility of Varanasi. So it is untrue that you will feel bad about staying in an old city with no good places to hang out. Every city offers a unique experience and so does IIT BHU. You need to come prepared for all this.
I have 51% in graduation and 65 and 67% respectively in 10th and 12th, what are the chances of getting a top 4 IIM's and FMS Delhi?
FMS Delhi gives 50% weightage to the CAT score, which maximum weightage is given to the verbal section of the CAT. Class 10th and 12th are given 10% weightage each. If your 10th and 12th score is 60-75%, then you will receive a 5% score, and if it is more than 75%, then you will receive a 10% score.
Your 10th and 12th score is low, but you can still make up things in the CAT exam, especially in the verbal section and your interview and SOP discussion, interviews at FMS has been given a weightage of 15%. Your graduation percentage is just above the cut-off of 50%, which might create problems for you in admissions, but yes, miracles do happen.
If you score well in your CAT and interviews, there are chances. For other IIMs, the criteria remain somehow similar. All of them gives priority to CAT score and interviews.
How is IIIT Vadodara for a Btech in CSE/IT?
If you have a choice between IIIT Vadodara and any other well-established NIT or IIIT for a Btech in CSE/IT, you should go for the latter as IIIT Vadodara lacks proper infrastructure and resources. However, studying B.tech in CSE at IIIT Vadodara is a rigorous course that offers different course content from other colleges, making students good engineers. The professors put in equal amounts of hard work to deliver their content in a professional manner, and there are ample resources available online for students.
IIIT Vadodara is a good option as it provides exposure to both theory and industrial practice, and the institute has improved immensely. The placements are also getting better, with tech giants recognizing IIIT Vadodara and aiding in projects through developer student clubs and Mozilla student club
