Course Curriculum Overview

4

i choose this course as this has some of the unique subjects which i would be taught and no otehr department is taught.also this is a really famous curriculum in foreign and almost all ivy league universities provide this course nbut in india IIT kgp provided this and since a long time so here the proff are really experienced in their domain and influenced by the alumni network of this department. in my opinion this course has most application in real life coz as an industrial engineer i need to know how the industry works how to deal with clients what all problems come and how to optimistically and practically solve it.the exposure this branch gives to their students is indeed the best and also practical in real life.we learn engineering along with management which gives the best fusion for a successful entrepreuneur.also we can work in non core field like AI ML and find its applications in our core field which is practical.

Internships Opportunities

4

there are lot of companies and institutes which provide internships. proffessor provide recommendation letters so students can go and research under their field for 1-2 months inside india or aborad also companies provide internships paid or unpaid work from home or in a physical office inside india or outside india

Admission

i applied for BITS and IIT only. i was sure about getting an iit but if i was not introduced this department in right time i would have not known and chosen bits over iit.after i researched about this curriculum i found it really intresting also talked to many alumnis of iit i made this decision of choosing bits cse over iit kgp IM branch no i didnt get rejected from a college as i was goal oriented in clearing jee and as a backup option kept bits in place so i gave bitsat.admisiion process of colleges like iit nit and otehr state colleges is after the jee advanced result there is a jossaaa council which conducts this and it takes place online.also to give students a feel how this works they also provide you moke rounds.the students have to decide a priority in which they keep the respective colleges and branches and after they submit there priorities they float/freeze/slide. float is basically trying for an upper priority college in next round/freeze is locking the college.

Faculty

3.5

my department faculties and some of the other proff i really like and they teach well and cooperative. some of the proff are really mean they dont provide slides and also teach really fast best faculties should be of my department really grateful to have them though our department courses will start in 3 sem i was really intrigued by how passionately they took our seminar and introduced us to our department. some core subjects which all the departments have have some really unhelpful proff there are midsem endsem and class test weightage is most for endsem then midsem then class test some proff give marks for attendence and some dont. also class test and lab test are important as they are graded on every test and then mean is taken. exams are generally easy for midsem and tough for endsem.thoguh we cant predict a definitive pattern for difficulty but if an exam comes tough the grading becomes relative as proff consider it not to go so harsh on us.

Earlier many offers used to come however in the recent years the number of offers made have reduced significantly. highest package comes around 10 to 11 lakhs per annum with average being 4-5 lakhs per annum.
