Which is preferable for CS, CSE, and IT, IIITDM-Kancheepuram, IIIT Sri City, or IIIT Guwahati?

RD
Rakesh Das Posted On : March 30th, 2021
Indian Institute of Information Technology, Guwahati

IIITDM Kancheepuram is an institute of national importance and it has an advantage over the other two institutes as both the institutes are IIITGs in PPP Mode. The bill to declare PPP mode as institutes of national importance is still pending in parliament. 

Here are a few pieces of information about the CSE/IT in the campuses mentioned in the question. 

IIIT Guwahati:

The institute started in the year 2013 and has a strong CS department with a good number of experienced faculties. 

  • Prof Gautam Barua who is the director of the CS department at IIIT Guwahati was also the director of IIT Guwahati from 2003-13. With his immense experience, he aims to build the department strong. 
  • Coming on to the curriculum of CSE/IT, it is well designed to suit the growing need of the industry. The intent here is to complete all the core subjects in the first 6 semesters so that students can choose the type of industry they want to get into. Like in the 4th semester, there is a subject called Computer Network which is generally a subject of 5/6th semester in other institutes. 
  • In the CS department, IIIT Guwahati has come up with the Ph.D. program as well. 
  • There are many advantages to join IIIT Guwahati but only a single disadvantage is there i.e. Location. But if you love to travel and nature, Guwahati is a place for you. 

IIIT Sri City: 

  • The number of faculties at IIIT Sri City is nearly half as compared to IIIT Guwahati. 
  • They also have MS and Ph.D. programs which indicates that they are also very active with regard to research. 
  • They are being mentored by Prof. UB Desai who is also the director of IIT Hyderabad and a pioneer in System and Network Research in India. 

Both the colleges have their advantages and disadvantages. You have to analyze which is better for you to pursue B.Tech in CSE/IT as per your parameters. Good luck.

How good is Vidyasagar University compared to Calcutta University??

DH
Damayanti Halder Posted On : October 13th, 2021
Completed M.A. in English from Calcutta University in 2020

Calcutta University offers some of the best education possible in the country. It consistently maintains an admirable ranking among the top universities in India. 

  • Your CV can get a big boost if you opt for the University of Calcutta.
  • There are other institutes in Kolkata that are just as good as CU such as Presidency University, Jadavpur University St. Xavier’s College (Autonomous). Keep an eye on them as well and do not restrict yourself only to CU. 
  • Engage yourselves in the various activities that will take place wherever you end up getting admission. 
  • The more proactive you are, the more your resume will attract potential employers.

Vidyasagar University has more expertise in tribal culture and literature. It is not the focus of urban academics. Keep in mind that the marking scheme of the University of Calcutta is very rigid.

Which is better Jadavpur University or NIT Durgapur or IIEST?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 6th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

All three colleges namely JU, NIT Durgapur, and IIEST are the premier institutions of the country. Each one of them had their own strengths and weaknesses. Let’s go through each of them individually to understand better.

Jadavpur University: 

  • JU is not a technical institution, so it offers an environment where students of diverse academic streams study under a roof that helps them grow as a person.

IIEST Shibpur

  • IIEST Shibpur, main advantage is its closeness to the metro city. Moreover, it is an Institute of National Importance so has a high brand value.

NIT Durgapur 

  • This is the best place for a vibrant college life and you will learn and experience something new every day. The academic rigor is motivating and the competition is intense. The campus is small but has everything one needs. The infrastructure is being improved slowly and new changes are being made. The NIT tag also comes to your rescue whenever you face hardship in your career. 

Overall, I feel JU has a certain edge over the other two colleges in terms of crowd diversity. However, if you want the NIT tag then NIT Durgapur is also a good option.

Which is better, BITS Goa or NIT Calicut?

SD
Sunil Dutta Posted On : April 8th, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2018)

This question sparks a debate among people. You might find some say that even biotechnology at NIT C is better than CSE at BITS Goa; all these are baseless claims. It is strongly suggested to look at the placement statistics before reaching a conclusion.

BITS Goa is way better than NIT Calicut. Forget biotechnology, even CSE at BITS Goa is better than CSE at NIT C.

Categories

BITS Goa

NIT Calicut

Course Fee

19.19 lakh

5.42 lakh

Placement Percentage

90%

89.72%

Highest CTC

19 LPA

18-19 LPA

Average CTC

12-13 LPA

15 LPA

Recruiting Companies

Intel, Qualcomm, Microsoft, Google, etc.

Qualcomm Technologies, HCL, Accenture, Goldman Sachs etc.

At NIT C, if you go for biotechnology, you will be placed through mass recruitment in companies like TCS, with a maximum salary of 3 lakhs. These companies have no connection with biotechnology. However, CSE at BITS, Goa can get you placed even at Google. This is definitely not a baseless claim, pre-placement offers and the number of GSOC selections are enough evidence for the same.

Comparing BITS Pilani and IIIT Hyderabad, BITS Pilani ≥ IIIT Hyderabad. The greater than symbol is only because of how old the institutes are. So finally this goes like BITS Goa ≥ IIIT Delhi ≥ BITS Hyderabad.

How is JBIMS compared to IIM L, K?

AJ
Arshit Jain Posted On : March 3rd, 2023
M.M.S. in Finance, Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (Graduated 2021)

It is advised not to consider the new IIMs in the same league as L, K, and JBIMS. Among L, K, and JBIMS, IIM Lucknow should be placed first. Despite JBIMS being older than IIM Lucknow, IIM Lucknow boasts greater diversity and a more established brand.

In terms of personal preferences, both IIM Kozhikode and JBIMS have their own strengths and weaknesses. When it comes to placement, alumni base, and return on investment, JBIMS has the upper hand.

However, the campus of IIM Kozhikode is unmatched and offers an unrivaled business school experience that is not present in JBIMS. Some might argue that the IIM brand is stronger than that of JBIMS, but IIM Kozhikode, as a 25-year-old institution, has created its own brand reputation, while JBIMS, a 65-year-old institution, is highly respected in the corporate world.

It is also worth mentioning that the median placement of JBIMS has exceeded 22 lakhs this year, while that of IIM Kozhikode is around 20 lakhs. While it is known that some students have left IIM Kozhikode and IIM Lucknow to attend JBIMS, it is also likely that the reverse has occurred.

In conclusion, the suggested order would be IIM Lucknow > JBIMS > IIM Kozhikode.
