Which is better: BITS-Hyderabad or NIT Warangal?

KS
Kalyan Shastri Posted On : August 19th, 2023
Lives in Warangal

In my opinion, NIT Warangal is better than BITS Hyderabad. It is a top NIT and branches like CSE, Electrical and ECE at it are comparable to the top IITs. I would in fact say that all the branches at NIT Warangal are good. In terms of facilities and infrastructure, both the colleges are comparable. However, you will get much more exposure at NITW. 

NITW conducts seminars and workshops by IIT professors and other eminent professors from foreign universities. It has a better collection of books- both quantity-wise and quality-wise. In private colleges one can keep 2-4 books at a time, but in government colleges, there is no such limitation on book allotment. For placements too, NITW is better. It has a greater alumni network and better industry connect because it is much older than BITS Hyderabad. 

The best option is to take up CSE at NIT Warangal for great career opportunities. But at the end of the day, your efforts will determine your future. Your college tag is important but what will matter more is how much effort you are ready to put in on your skill development.

Which university is better, university of Colorado, Boulder or Northeastern University?

EM
Evan Mehta Posted On : February 3rd, 2021
Studied at Northeastern University (2018)

Everyone has different criteria and experiences and if you ask me, Northeastern was not that great an experience because it was a private school and for me money was an important factor. If you consider their rankings, it is obviously better ranked than University of Colorado which ranks at 103rd place while NEU ranks at 49th place in the national universities.

Northeastern University

Northeastern University offers rigorous academic learning and continuous opportunities for the students. It received 62,000 applications to fill out mere 2800 seats during 2018 and 2019 which means you’ll find a lot of competition here. It also has a great reputation as an innovative experiential university and it also has a co-op program. You’ll gain a lot of theoretical knowledge as well as practical experience here. It has abundant resources you can utilize.

University of Colorado 

You can definitely consider this because of easier admissions- it has an acceptance rate of 78% and an early acceptance rate of 94.7%. You’ll also have 43.8% of its classes with less than 20 students.

It also offers need based financial aid to 33% of its undergraduate students and the scholarship or grant award ranges from 3000-15,000 USD.

Here’s a quick comparison of both universities:

However, that may not really help you in making this decision alone. To choose a college, you will really have to dig up information related to your classes of interest, what experience you are looking for, or which college has a better scope for you to land a high paying job in return of your money. You should decide after evaluating different options and choose the college that is going to help you deliver the result you want to achieve.

Which college is better for economics hons Scottish Church College or Asutosh College?

AB
Atanu Bandyopadhyay Posted On : October 25th, 2021
B.Sc Economics, Scottish Church College, Kolkata

My elder brother was accepted to both colleges in Eco(Hons) this year, and he eventually chose Scottish Church. Here's why.

  • Even if the faculties of both departments are almost equal, classes in Ashutosh are irregular, and the union has too much ownership. Inside the premises, the atmosphere for a first-year student isn't great.
  • Unlike Ashutosh, the admissions process at Scottish Church is uncomplicated and administered by the department.
  • However, both are under CU, and if you're familiar with the marking scheme, they're identical. You must rely on tuition regarding your studies in Ashutosh as teachers will be of little help.

So, choosing Scottish Church College will be better.

  • Furthermore, BITS Pilani and Goa have the best culture when it comes to coding.
  • Besides academics, the campus is well maintained, the hostels are all hygienic and the food of mess is also appreciable.

Is IIEST Shibpur a better college than NIT Jamshedpur?

RA
Ritesh Agarwal Posted On : February 26th, 2021
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Jamshedpur

Between these comparisons, NIT Jamshedpur is far better than IIEST Shibpur. However, the considerations can be made for the following facts:

  • Faculty
  • Research
  • Quality Parameters

As per MHRD Rankings, NIT Jamshedpur is ahead of IIEST Shibpur. Thus, there is something mapping considering the oldness of an institute with its goodness. If this fact is true, then many colleges would be better rather the best than the renowned IITs.

The main thing is that the ultimate reputation and the growth of an institute generally depend on its alumni as well as funds that it gets from the Government because these two things are needed to make sure a good faculty structures.

The following table gives a brief overview of these two institutes

Criteria

NIT Jamshedpur

IIEST Shibpur

Become NIT

2002

2014

Placement Statistics

90%

80%

Highest CTC

12 LPA

9 LPA

Lowest CTC

3.5 LPA

4.2 LPA

IIEST is a more research-driven college like IISER, and 4 years Engineering Degree does not procure from this institute. Thereby, it is completely meaningless to go for 5 years course despite being interested in doing a Ph.D. in later years. 

Fees at IIEST are more, as it offers one-year extra study. Most importantly, IIEST cannot be an IIT, as there is already one IIT (Kharagpur IIT) in the state, and Modi Government already declared that there would be only IIT in one state. Besides, Jadavpur is considered a competitor if there is a chance to set up another IIT in the state.

Considering the above facts, the recommendation should be given for NIT Jamshedpur as it the best alternatives.

Which college is better, HKBK or Reva University??

AS
Aditya Sethi, Posted On : November 3rd, 2021
studied at Visvesvaraya Technological University (2019)

As one of my friends is a student of REVA University, I might be able to provide some information about it.

  • The faculty members of REVA University are extremely helpful and highly experienced in their particular field. 
  • The environment here is very disciplined and has an excellent learning atmosphere. 
  • The CS department organizes workshops for better learning.
  • The placement here is not the best but is improving very well. If proper education is provided the students will be able to secure a good job offer even in off-campus placements.
  • Considering hostels, REVA University has one of the well-maintained hostels in the country.
  • The food provided is good, healthy, and affordable. 
  • Other facilities like a laundry facility are available at INR 100 per year.

But like everything else it has its flaws which bother the students. This includes the wifi facilities which are not great as in the hostels most of the times the connection is interrupted.

The best way to choose the right college for you is to give preference to the branch and not just the tag. As a NIT pass out my friend claims that the opportunities NIT provides, and the freedom it gives you to grow is unmatched. The institute does give you a high level of freedom that might break or make your career. It’s you who decides the choices you make.

Which is better: IT at NIT Surathkal or CSE at MNNIT Allahabad in terms of placement and environment??

AA
Aarti Ahuja Posted On : September 15th, 2023
Lives in Allahabad

Two of my close friends are studying at NIT Surathkal and MNNIT Allahabad respectively and often I hear them comparing their colleges based on some aspects. 

  • Environment: Both NITs have a well-maintained and lush green campus. NIT Surathkal has a slight advantage because of its private beach. So, if you love beaches and swimming NIT Surathkal is for you. NIT Allahabad offers scenic views at Sangam and students enjoy taking holy baths and spending evenings there.
  • Faculty: MNNIT Allahabad are very friendly and often use their native language during lectures while NIT Surathkla professors are a nit professional and never use their native language in the classroom.
  • Placements : The average package of IT at NIT Suratkal is INR 23.03 LPA while that of CSE at MNNIT is INR 27.07 LPA. MNNIT Allahabad has slightly better placements although NIT Surathkal has a better location. 
  • Food: It may be difficult to get non-veg food in Allahabad within the hostel premises. In NIT-S, there is no such restriction and a variety of non-veg food is offered. 

Ultimately, the choice is yours!

Which is better regarding infrastructure, college life, and placements, NIT Silchar or NIT Jamshedpur?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : August 24th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

Here is a one-to-one comparative analysis of NIT Silchar and NIT Jamshedpur based on these aspects

Placements: The placement scenario is slightly better at NIT Jamshedpur than at NIT Silchar. Last year the average package for NIT Jamshedpur stood at INR 14.72 LPA while that of NIT Silchar stood at INR 13.58 LPA.

Campus life: NIT Jamshedpur has a very monotonous and inactive college life whereas NIT Silchar is known to have quite a dynamic campus life with many clubs and societies. 

Infrastructure: NIT Jamshedpur has very poor infrastructure. Apart from the newly established hostels and a newly constructed grand academic building, there is nothing more to the college's infrastructure. NIT Silchar on the other hand has top-notch infrastructure with many facilities such as gymkhana, student activity center, auditorium, and other sports facilities. It has a very lush green campus that is heaven for nature lovers. 

In all, NIT Jamshedpur and NIT Silchar offer similar job opportunities but NIT Silchar has slightly better campus life and infrastructure.
