Why would someone choose BITS Pilani over IIT?

SG
Shayash Gupta Posted On : June 26th, 2023
PhD from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (2016)

There are many reasons why someone might choose BITS Pilani over IIT. Some potential factors could include:

  • Zero Reservation policy: The students are selected solely on the basis of merit and there is no reservation policy. Hence, every student has earned his seat proudly by his own efforts. 
  • Zero Attendance Policy: Another great aspect here is the zero attendance policy requiring students to skip classes at their own will. This ensures the students' own willingness to attend classes. Additionally, the lecture slides and Video lectures are uploaded on the BITS website.
  • Location: Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, BITS Pilani is located in a peaceful area with minimal life outside the campus. The students thus spend more time with each other strengthening the junior-seniors bonds even better.
  • Collaborations: BITS Pilani has many collaborations with foreign universities and follows a well-updated curriculum at par with global standards.
  • Timetable: The students of BITS are at complete freedom to decide their own teachers, time slots, and breaks. They are under no compulsion to follow a fixed schedule.
  • Dual Degree Program: Another major perk of BITE is its dual degree program that allows students to do an MSC + Btech degree.

Ultimately, the choice between BITS Pilani and IIT will depend on an individual's personal preferences and priorities.

What is your review of Indira Gandhi National Open University IGNOU?

PG
Prateeksha Garg Posted On : October 13th, 2022
Studied at Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

In IGNOU, none of the faculty members at your regional center or study center will assist you in answering your questions. You must assume everything on your own and act accordingly. If you have any questions about your assignment submission or lab courses, your study center will simply tell you to contact the regional center. And in the regional center, no one will answer the phone, and no one will respond to your emails. If you accidentally sent your document or something to the wrong center, they will notify you after the form submission deadline and tell you that there is nothing you can do and that you must submit the form again in the upcoming semester. Rude teachers will respond to your inquiries. You may feel as if you are studying without paying fees, and the teachers are unconcerned about your problems. They are simply teachers by designation; they have no idea what to do or how to assist students with assignments/labs, etc. 

Students are pursuing distance education because they are unable to attend college daily due to their jobs. However, they expect them to travel to a regional center that is not in the same city every month to have our basic questions answered. In terms of projects, they may say in viva that the report should look like this. When you submit the report as instructed the next time, another superintendent will be present to reject it and instruct you to format it as before.

UC
Udita Chauhan Posted On : April 13th, 2022
Certificate Management Studies, Indira Gandhi National Open University (2016)

You can benefit from IGNOU degrees if you are self-motivated and hard-working. The study materials are good. Classes are mostly for doubt clearing. You will have to do majority of the coursework on your own. You will have to study regularly to keep up with the assignments, syllabus, and examinations. IGNOU conducts examinations in a timely manner. 

The outcome of your degree depends on you. If you work hard and put in the required effort, you can easily score good grades.

Which institute is better: VIT, Vellore or BITS Pilani, Goa?

KD
Kirti Das Posted On : June 26th, 2023
Lives in Chennai

The campus life combined with the quality of education offered at BITS Goa is incomparable to VIT Vellore. The Bachelor in Engineering CSE programs of BITS Goa and IIIT Hyderabad are becoming very popular these days. In fact, IIIT Hyderabad is even becoming better than IIT Mumbai just because of this program. As for BITS Goa, it will soon be at par with the Pilani campus in the near future in terms of brand and opportunities. 

College life here is very dynamic with vibrant fests like Waves. The college has a well-disciplined campus life. Life at VIT Vellore is pretty dull and full of restrictions. The admissions are unbiased and only 3 major companies visit for bulk placements. 

BITSAT requires more academic grounding than VITEEE. BITSAT follows a negative marking system that VIT does not. The level of difficulty of questions of BITSAT was higher as compared to VITEEE.

No matter how many pros VIT has, it cannot be compared to any BITS campus in terms of brand value and academics. So choose BITS Goa!

My percentile is 94.39 in the JEE. Can I get a seat in NIT Trichy?

HP
Himadri Patel Posted On : May 31st, 2024
Studies at NIT Trichy

No, with your percentile it will be difficult to get a seat at NIT Trichy. If you are a General or OBC category student then it will be very hard to get admitted at NIT Trichy. You will have a chance to get admitted at NIT Trichy only if you are an SC/ST student or you have a Tamil Nadu domicile certificate. But keep in mind that you may not get the seat of your preferred department. NIT Trichy is in high demand so only the top percentile students get the chance to get placed. But do not worry there are other NITs where you will be able to secure a seat. You can also prepare for JEE Advanced and get a seat at the IITs.

How is Manipal University, Jaipur?

SN
Subhankar Nandi Posted On : March 24th, 2022
B.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering, Manipal University Jaipur (2018)

The quality of education and placements aren’t good at Manipal University, Jaipur. 

  • Most of the faculties don’t have much experience. The teaching methodology used is outdated.
  • The past few years’ placements haven’t been good. Students from core branches struggle a lot with placements. Only the IT and CSE branches had decent placements.
  • Manipal University Jaipur fees for B.Tech are around INR 12.61 LPA. While the return on investment isn’t good. 

It’s better if you choose the main Manipal campus. It offers better academics and placements.

What is the placement like for M.Tech students in Computer Science at the IITs? How many get placed, and what's the average package, etc?

HR
Himadri Roy Posted On : July 20th, 2021
M.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur

One of my friends completed his M.Tech in CSE from IIIT Kanpur back in 2019. Here are the placement highlights from his year.

The placements of the M.Tech students were at par with B.Tech and the dual degree students. There are very few companies that did not open their process for M.Tech students. But most of them are open.

A CSE M.Tech student got the highest package of INR 65 lakhs per annum. Mostly you will get a package in the region of INR 35 – 44 lakhs per annum. The minimum package hovered around INR 20 lakhs per annum. Some of the top companies visiting the campus for recruitment include Google, Microsoft, Qualcomm, SAP Labs, Samsung, Codenation, etc.
