B.Tech from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Pune (2020)

I have a friend at IIIT Pune. I only heard good things about the institute from him. Here are some facts about IT at PICT and CSE at IIIT-Pune, which may help you to decide. 

Teachers:

  • All of the faculties of IIIT-Pune are Ph.D. holders from institutes like IIT KGP, NITs, and foreign universities.
  • Most of the faculties of PICT are M.Tech or still pursuing their PhDs.

Crowd: 

  • Instead of going home during vacations, students attend Android and Web development workshops. 
  • Faculties encourage students to take up projects and internships from the first semester.

Degree: 

  • Students get B.Tech in IIIT-Pune as compared to a B.E. at PICT. 
  • IIIT-Pune's curriculum doesn't include subjects like Civil, Engineering Drawing, Mechanics, Mechanical, Chemistry which are of no use in the course of CSE.

Institute of National Importance:

  • IIIT-Pune is like all the IITs, NITs, IIITs which is an Institute of National Importance( INI) which leads to a lot of Government funds and monetary support. 
  • Students who did their 12th from the MP board or others can receive a full tuition fee waiver for 4 years of their B. Tech since IIIT Pune is an INI.

Sports and Clubs:

  • Any student can start a club of their own if they have a passion for something at IIIT-Pune.

Attendance and Holidays:

  • PICT has minimum attendance criteria of 75% and PICT imposes an 80% attendance.
  • PICT has 9 days winter break and 15 days summer break, so if you are not a local then you will not get to see much of your family.

Is LNCT Bhopal good for IT?

MG
Mohini Gupta Posted On : May 28th, 2021
studied at Lakshmi Narain College of Technology, Bhopal

If you do not have the option to join any government colleges and getting jobs is a concern, then LNCT is the place to be. With good grades, you may even get a job offer with a package of 3 to 4 LPA.

However, if you are hoping for a more comprehensive development of your personality, the answer is no. At the institute, you will have to write assignments, wear uniforms, maintain attendance, and participate in no extracurricular activities for four years.

There will also be insufficient learning in terms of both coding and soft skills. If you wish to pursue a career in the IT sector, you should seek out a suitable university, as RGPV teaches in an outdated manner, with only a few subjects taught that are relevant in today's technological advances.

The table shows a brief overview of the institution.

Highest Salary

19 lakhs

Average Salary

3.5 lakhs

Recruiters

Wipro, TCS, Capgemini, etc.

In comparison to other institutions in Bhopal, LNCT is the top college in Bhopal that is associated with RGPV, and you have a better chance of getting a job there. Overall, it depends on your preference.

What is better, CBIT IT or GRIET CSE?

AS
Anupama Sen Posted On : April 23rd, 2021
Studied at Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology

B.Tech in Information Technology from CBIT is any day better than a Computer Science and Engineering degree from GRIET. The reason is that the CBIT IT branch has better placements than that of a GRIET CSE branch.

Placements: (Winning Institute - CBIT)

  • We know that placements are one of the biggest factors in choosing a college and in that regard CBIT is a much better choice even though GRIET is not bad. 
  • Many top companies such as Microsoft visit both campuses and offer comparable high annual compensation. 
  • However, the companies usually recruit more students in the higher compensation packages at CBIT. So, your chances of securing the dream job are relatively easier at CBIT than at GRIET.

The average placements hover in the INR 6 LPA to INR 12 LPA range at CBIT for IT and CSE branches with the lowest package of close to INR 3.5 LPA. There are also a lot more MNCs coming to the CBIT campus than that of the GRIET campus.

Course Fee:

The only area where GRIET zooms ahead of CBIT is in the case of the program fee. For CBIT it is now INR 2.2 lakhs for the management quota students while it is only between INR 1 lakhs to 1.5 lakhs for GRIET. 

You should choose CBIT as it offers better placements.

Which college is better for IT, IET DAVV Indore or SGSITS Indore?

SS
Souvick Sengupta Posted On : April 21st, 2021
Studied at IET DAVV

Both the colleges are similar to each other for the IT branch and provide equal facilities to their students, but IET DAVV is a little better than SGSITS. 

  • Academics: The IT department at SGSITS was established in 2000, so it can be termed as new as compared to IET DAVV or other reputed colleges. But the IT department at IET DAVV was established in September 1996, so it is much better and older than SGSITS.
  • Faculty: Both the colleges have great faculty who are talented and experienced in their subjects and some of them have even completed their PhDs from top IITs and IISC. 
  • Fees: IET DAVV is a self-financed college and the fees are similar for all the branches and it is 65000 per annum. The fees of the IT branch at SGSITS are a little higher than IET DAVV and it is 70000 per annum. 
  • Placements: The placements of both these colleges have been excellent and many top companies including Adobe, Cognizant, Infosys, and many others have been visiting the campus and offering jobs to many students with good packages. In SGSITS, the IT students must have a higher than 7.5 pointer to sit for campus interview, while CSE branch students must have a 6.5 pointer or higher.
  • Exposure: SGSITS has an advantage as it is much older than IET DAVV, so it has more reputation in the state. But IET DAVV is also a reputed institute and provides a wide range of exposure to its students. 
  • Extra-Curricular Activities: IET DAVV takes advantage of extracurricular activities like college fests, fresher's programs, and many others functions that are much better than at SGSITS. 

As both these colleges are similar to each other in every other aspect except a few, so you can choose anyone according to your preferences.

How is the placement for IT in LNCT Bhopal? What is its highest package for IT?

AP
Arya Des Pandey Posted On : September 28th, 2021
Studies Information and Technology (IT) at LNCT Bhopal,2022

Since I am a part of LNCT Group of Technologies, Bhopal, the insights I provide can be helpful for a few. 

  • The IT sector placements, by the organization, apparently offer a variety of opportunities. 
  • A really good amount of recruiters visit the campus, especially from the IT sector, and hire a large number of candidates. 
  • VMware, back in 2019, offered the highest salary package of almost around INR 18 LPA and hired 4 students side by side. 
  • The best advice to secure a position at the top companies is to put as much effort as required into brushing your skills from the scratch. 
  • It is better to stay updated with the latest technological trends of the industry and keep up with their demands, as and when required.
  • You should invest a reasonable amount of time into working upon aptitude, and logical reasoning, alongside keeping a good hold on your communication skills as well. 

These are aspects that play a pivotal role in determining whether or not you are the best fit for a firm. It is suggested that you keep on polishing your skills more than wondering about aspects otherwise.

Should I study ECE at IIIT, Allahabad or IT at BIT, Mesra?

UL
Urooj Lal Posted On : March 26th, 2021
Studied at Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra (2019)

An ECE at IIIT, Allahabad is preferable to an IT at BIT, Mesra. Of course, the choice of the branch is subjective and should be chosen based on our own interests and preferences. But still, a degree at IIIT Allahabad is much more valuable than that of BIT Mesra.

The best thing about IIIT, Allahabad is its focus on research and thus will provide you the extra edge over other similar level candidates. The course structure is very focused and you will get subjects such as integrated robotics and many others. IIIT, Allahabad also offers the best facilities to hone your programming skills.

The table below will give a few stats of both the institutes.

BIT Mesra

IIIT Allahabad

Average CTC (2019 - 2020)

INR 11.76 LPA

INR 20.83 LPA

Highest CTC (2019 - 2020)

INR 49.76 LPA

INR 43 LPA

NIRF Ranking (2020)

38

103

And then the fee structure of IIIT Allahabad is also much more affordable, 1.65 lakhs first-year fee to BIT Mesra’s 2.85 lakhs first-year fee, compared to BIT Mesra which gives the degree much more value with all the facilities, research opportunities, and placements it has to offer. Thus IIIT Allahabad is favored.

What should be better: IT at UIET Chandigarh or production engineering at NIT Agartala?

AR
Anubhav Roy Posted On : January 5th, 2021
B.Tech Civil Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Agartala (2012)

Both these branches are completely different in terms of the course content and then the future job description as well, so the important thing here is to know what you want and how you want to shape your future. 

Comparison:

  • If you are interested in coding then you should go for IT at UIET where you may not have the most appealing packages but if you do great in that college with good grades in all 4 years then you will definitely land a well-paying job at a company like TCS or Infosys. 
  • If you choose to do production engineering at NIT Agartala then there are some things that should be kept in mind, the branch itself isn’t well established and is average when you talk about faculties and the overall quality. 
  • However, the NIT tag will be beneficial for your career throughout your professional life. 
  • In NIT Agartala if you want to change your branch from Production Engineering to CSE or ECE, you need to maintain a minimum CGPA of 8.5 in the 1st semester. It also depends on the availability of seats in the branches that you are applying for.

The table below gives an insight into the IT program at UIET and Production Engineering program at NIT Agartala.

Basis

IT at UIET

Production Engineering NIT Agartala

Average Package

5.94 LPA

Highest Package

NIT is a prestigious government institute and its name on your degree adds a lot of weight to it but the major deciding factor here should always be what you want to do in terms of the course in both these fields. So, if you are interested in coding and want to pursue a career in the IT sector go for IT at UIET. Even if you fail to secure a job through placement, you can opt for off-campus placements.
