Which is better, CSE in MAIT or IT in USICT?
Both USICT and MAIT have an attractive campus. They also provide special USS benefits to the students.
One of my relatives used to be a student of USICT. In spite of being a student of that institute, he holds both institutes in high regard. A lot of students come from distant places and traveling gets time-consuming.
Before you choose your institute, make sure you keep the distance factor in mind because you might very well be spending several hours. This can be detrimental to you and other students who will take pains to reach the institute. Four years is not a short time, after all.
As for placements, you will be allowed to sit in for companies at IP University’s main entrance if you meet the requirements of eligibility and if your aggregate cut-off meets the requirements.
CSE in MAIT will give you a lot of opportunities to learn and grow. The department is also very supportive. The package you will get would be pretty decent if you are not really on the core technical side. Your expertise will determine the package you will be offered. The seniors and faculty will guide you in that regard.
Which would be better, PEC 'Civil' or MAIT (IPU) 'CSE' keeping in mind the placement scenario and exposure?
Civil engineering is one of the major B.tech. Degree, provided by the Punjab Engineering College.Admission to the four-year program is made on the basis of marks scored by the candidate in Jee Main(Joint Entrance Exam Main). For civil up to20thousand rank is required.

What's your view on the DotC programming club at Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology (MAIT)?
One of my friends is from MAIT. He said that for the domain of competitive programming, DOTC is the famous programming club at MAIT. It has completed its 1st year. The people who joined are enthusiastic about competitive programming.
- The knowledge of the important exams in coding such as Google Code Jam, Hackercup, GSOC, ACM-ICPC is provided.
- These exams have to be cracked through logical skills and the knowledge of advanced programming.
- The seniors in the club are cooperative.
- Joining the DOTC club allows one to get an overview of competitions outside the college also.
- It's a platform where the coding problems are solved through combined planning and discussion from the top coders of the college.
- The people registered in DOTC also get to know about various onsite contests organized by the top websites of the coding world such as Hackerrank, Codechef, Topcoder, open-source platforms such as Github, or Codeforces.
- The syllabus covered at DOTC is the topics like maxflow, suffix arrays, segment trees, Fenwick trees, min-cut and more.
Programming helps in inculcating the thinking process and the skills in a human. When it comes to solving a given problem, it requires a lot of logical thinking skills which when processed gives a solution and it becomes difficult sometimes to catch up on a single line of code for a long time.
DOTC is a good initiative by the students of MAIT and the students should join it to have exposure in the field of programming.
Which college is better for computer science: Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology in Delhi or Heritage Institute of Technology in Kolkata?
I have friends from both Heritage Institute of Technology Kolkata and Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology Delhi and based on the conversations that I had with them, I will say the former is a better choice for a CSE degree.
According to my friends, you will find that after enrolling in Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology, all you'll have to do is show up for sessionals and assignments. You must attend lessons or else the HOD will contact your parents. However, this opinion varies from person to person.
Here is a brief comparison of the two institutes.
| Parameters | Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology in Delhi | Heritage Institute of Technology in Kolkata |
| Tuition Fees (B.Tech) | 5.73 lakhs | 3.93 lakhs |
| Placement Percentage | 85% | 80% |
| Average CTC | INR 3.50 LPA | INR 4 LPA |
Overall, Heritage Institute of Technology in Kolkata is definitely a better option as compared to MAIT Delhi for CSE.

Candidates need to go through the GGSIPU counseling for securing a seat in MAIT, and JAC Delhi counseling for NSUT.

The student to faculty ratio at MAIT is around 70:1, and at NSUT it is almost the same. The faculties at NSUT are highly qualified but extremely strict, and the course curriculum is updated. As for which institute will be better for you, you should be the one to decide that.
I am getting EEE in MAIT on merit but in 2nd shift and BVCOE in 1st shift. What should I take?
My friend from school used to be a student of MAIT and he is of the opinion that the campus and the life it promises are much better than those of BVCOE.
The faculty of MAIT is lenient and the students get ample freedom. However, the same cannot be said for BVCOE. The latter institute also falls short when it comes to the crowd in both institutes.
Speaking of academics, both MAIT and BVCOE are more or less on an equal footing.
Coming to the second shift, now, as far it is concerned, it is suggested to take the timings and the distance between your home and the college into consideration.
My friend chose the first shift because you will be able to get off earlier.
Can I get into IT or ECE in MAIT with a 6,000 rank?
My cousin studies at MAIT. He was a Delhiite and easily got through to the IT program. If your rank is 6,000 and you want IT or ECE, you need to sure about the following:
- Are you a Delhiite or a non Delhiite? If you are, then surely there are great chances for you to get into IT.
- If you are not from Delhi then you can easily get into ECE either through the spot round or with the help of the main cutoff.
Both branches are good and the faculty for IT and ECE at MAIT is also excellent. The placements in these departments depend upon the amount of hard work you put in. However, the placement rate is almost always near 100.
Although, there are no safe and sure predictions for this because if luck favors you, they might even get ECE in the MAIT in spot counseling.
But with your rank, you can easily get into BVP or MSIT, so keep your options open and keep working towards it because overall in my estimation, the spot round will see you through.
Should I choose BVP or MAIT?
Both colleges are very good in their own terms but choosing MAIT will be a better option. As one of my friends studied there. Here's what he has to say about the institute.
- The campus of BVP is smaller than MAIT. It is very beautiful and has much better facilities than BVP.
- There is enough space and places to explore in BVP to relax and hang out with friends.
- The food available here is not good in quality and the prices are also very high.
- The placement opportunities available at MAIT are much better than that of BVP.
- The rules are also very strict at BVP but in MAIT the rules are lenient.
- MAIT is also ranked higher than BVP among the IPU colleges in India.
- The faculty of these colleges are talented and well experienced.
