How good is iit gandhinagar?
Honestly speaking, IIT Gandhinagar does not deserve to be in the IIT family nor does it deserve the IIT tag. I am not saying the education and placement opportunities here are pathetic but they are still far from actual IIT standards. or even top NITs and BITS.
It’s due to the Marketing tactics of the director that the institute gains such high rankings by NIRF and other ranking bodies. The internships and placement scenario is pathetic owing to the deteriorating student strength and efforts on the part of the university.
I will suggest everyone against joining this institute and ruining their career.
Which is better: VTU or autonomous?
Autonomus colleges under VTU are better. These colleges shave the autonomy to frame their syllabus, academic calender, curriculum, and evaluation methods. In comparison to VTU, you can score better. The overall learning experience is better.
RVCE, MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology, and BMS College of Engineering are among the most reputed autonomous colleges under VTU.
