Which college is better, IIT Guwahati, or IIT BHU ?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : May 1st, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

If you are currently deciding between IIT Guwahati and IIT BHU, it is important to consider several factors before making your final decision. While both institutions are highly ranked and reputable, they do have some differences that may be important to you. Here are some things to keep in mind:

  1. Choose a branch based on your interests: It is crucial to select a branch that you are passionate about, rather than one that is popular or has a higher ranking. Pursuing a field that you enjoy and excel in can lead to a more fulfilling and successful career.
  2. IIT Guwahati has better infrastructure: If you value modern facilities and equipment, then IIT Guwahati may be the better option for you. It is known for its advanced laboratories, libraries, and classrooms.
  3. IIT BHU has better placement opportunities: If job prospects after graduation are your top priority, then IIT BHU may be the better choice. It has a strong alumni network, and more international companies tend to visit the campus for recruitment purposes.
  4. Consider cultural societies: If you are interested in extracurricular activities, then you may want to look into the cultural societies at each institution. Both IIT Guwahati and IIT BHU have a range of clubs and organizations, but they may differ in terms of focus and opportunities.
  5. CSE at BHU is better than ECE or Mech: If you are considering a specific branch, such as computer science, then it is worth noting that IIT BHU has a particularly strong program in this area. This may be a factor to consider if you are specifically interested in CSE.

In summary, both IIT Guwahati and IIT BHU have their strengths and weaknesses. Ultimately, the choice between the two comes down to your personal priorities and interests. If you prioritize infrastructure and facilities, then IIT Guwahati may be the better option. On the other hand, if placement opportunities and a strong alumni network are your main concerns, then IIT BHU may be a better fit. Whatever your decision, be sure to choose a branch that aligns with your passions and goals.

How is the mechanical department at IIT Guwahati? How are the placements and the campus life?

PT
Pragya Tripathi Posted On : January 5th, 2023
B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering & Product Design, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IITG) (Graduated 2018)

The Mechanical Department is one of the departments at IIT Guwahati that is actively involved in research, competitions (robotics, automobile development, etc.), academics, and so on. It is also one of the largest departments in terms of faculty, Ph.D. scholarships, and available equipment. Almost all of the professors are friendly and eager to assist students.

Placements in IIT Guwahati's mechanical engineering department are very good for B.tech students, with 87% of students placed in PSUs and core companies this year. The rest went into software development, analytics, marketing, and research. As of now, this department has never looked more alive. The campus is an undeniable beauty that will provide an unforgettable experience. BTech and BDes students received the highest domestic and international packages, totaling INR 1.2 crore per year and INR 72 LPA, respectively.

What is better for mathematics and computing, IIT Kanpur vs IIT Kharagpur vs IIT Guwahati vs IIT BHU?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : March 30th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

If you are interested in CSE but choosing Mathematics and Computing just for the sake of overlapping courses, then trust me you are making the wrong decision. I have seen many CSE branch seekers taking Mathematics and Computer to land CSE-related jobs. Let me tell you frankly, Mathematics and Computing are no substitutes for Computer Science.

If you want to get a deeper understanding of this, go through the Syllabus of Mathematics. You will find most courses that are theoretical, abstract, and purely mathematical and very few courses related to Computer Science. Mathematics at IITs is not everyone’s cup of tea. It is extremely tough, unlike JEE Math. 

However, if you are passionate about Mathematics and want to pursue a research career in it, go for it. The courses might include lengthy proofs of Mathematical Induction and set and relation theory. Discuss the curriculum once with students of Mathematics at IIT and then make the final decision. Usually, the coursework in Mathematics and Computing is the same for all the IIT Branches.

To sum it up, if you are planning to take Mathematics and Computers just for the CSE courses, please make a better decision. My best advice would be to go for CSE in a better engineering college like IIT Hyderabad or Indore.

What is the average package and rate of placement of B.Des from IIT Bombay or IIT Guwahati and its scope in the future?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : August 18th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Both IIT Bombay and IIT Guwahati BDes branches offer excellent job opportunities and the high figures are a reflection of the same. IIT Bombay BDes recorded a placement percentage of 71%

IIT Guwahati BTech and BDes average package stood at INR 26.33 LPA. DOD recorded a placement percentage of 71.05%. The branch offers a plethora of future prospects and most students venture into successful careers in the field of Interaction Design. The institute has a record of having some of the best recruiters like Microsoft, Samsung RnD, Flipkart, Uber, Sprinklr, Ola, and many more who recruit designers from IIT Guwahati mainly for the role of UI / UX designers. The demand for these jobs and designers is increasing day by day so getting a good package for a BDes student shouldn’t be a concern for students of either institute. 

For a specific company to stay in the race, it’s important to design a product that would attract more users than the company's competitors and it all required a good designer. So the role of a Designer and the scope of the branch, in general, should not be underestimated.

Which is better: IIT Guwahati CSE or IIT BHU CSE?

SD
Sharad Dev Posted On : March 20th, 2023
B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IITG) (Graduated 2017)

 Instead of recommending any specific institute, there are some myths that need to be debunked first:

  • Placements at one institute are better than the other.
  • BHU has a wider network.
  • IITG has a cooler administration.

You must compare the two courses based on the following features:

  • Academic research
  • Placement statistics
  • Competitive coding
  • Open-source development
  • Other club activities
  • Climate and geography
  • Connectivity (and distance from hometown)

If you're specifically interested in CSE, then the first four points are almost equal for both BHU and Guwahati. When it comes to the other points, IITG has a better climate, while Varanasi may be better connected and nearer to your hometown.

So, it's up to you to weigh the pros and cons and decide which institute suits you better. Remember to make an informed decision and choose wisely.
