Which is better, a B.Arch from NIT Raipur or CSE from VIT Bhopal?

Among these two, NIT Raipur will be a better choice. Here is some insight about the institutes. VIT Bhopal: In recent years, admissions in VIT were open for VIT rank > 1 Lakh, and even after that, the seats remained empty. As this is a new institute the infrastructure and faculty base is not that strong. It lacks good infrastructural facilities. There is no alumni network. NIT Raipur: On the other hand, NIT Raipur is one of the most popular colleges in our country and you will have good faculty there. The only concern is your choice of branch. Choose B.Arch only if you are truly interested in Architecture. Here are the recent placement statistics for the courses mentioned in the question. Parameters VIT Bhopal CSE NIT Raipur B.Arch Average CTC 6.5 LPA 9.5 LPA Highest CTC 41 LPA 30 LPA Hence, choosing NIT Raipur over VIT Bhopal will be a very good choice as it is a much better college and it will help you to shape your career and future.

Is it good to pursue Bachelor of Architecture from NIT Raipur?

One of my friends pursued his B.Arch from NIT Raipur. According to his experience, a Bachelor of Architecture from NIT Raipur is not a good option. The faculty quality is average. There is too much workload on students. The table below gives a brief overview of the Department of Architecture of NIT Raipur. Total Fees (B.Arch) Rs. 6.74 Lakhs Median Salary Offered Rs. 3 LPA Total Number of seats (B.Arch) 79 JEE Main cut-off 1580 Key Highlights: There are several good colleges in Maharashtra and Gujarat for Architecture. But NIT Raipur has a lot of bad reviews from students who have studied B.Arch in the institute. Most teachers in Architecture at NIT Raipur are not good in their teaching habits and capabilities. Teachers make students mindless about their actions, even some hard working ones. It is obvious that Architecture studies involve a lot of hard-work in assignments, but teachers are not even sensible about the fact. The curriculum at NIT Raipur is such that it can frustrate a student who has good concepts to the core. People may tell you a college does not matter in the overall development of students. But, it is true that in fields like architecture and management, you need to be smart enough to deal with a lot of people in your career. So, the institute's atmosphere, and the people surrounding a student, do matter. NIT Raipur is not a decent place for a Bachelor of Architecture, considering all the above factors. If you have any other options, it will be wise to go for them.

Nit Raipur experience

Fees and Financial Aid:

I am from general category without ews so my course fees is 62000 for odd semister and 68000 for even semister and the Good thing was the hostel fee was 54000 per year but there is less hostel rooms facility . If they are from ews they will get most 100 fee concession on course and if they avail ani online scholarships they are eligible and same for obc their course fee is deducted by parent annual income and same for sc st

Honest Review By Student Of Architecture at NITRR

Likes

In every courses including architecture also, college provides paid internships. And also college placements are possible here.

Student Snaps:

Fee structure is about 6.5 lakh for whole course, excluding hotel fees. For SCs and STs tuition fess is free, hence it will cost them around 50-60k for whole course. Also if father's income is less then 1 Lakh then also tuition fee is free. There's no such any scholarship bounded by institue. The amount paid in josaa and csab counselling will be resfunded by 2nd semester, the first semester fees is adjusted by that fees only. Hence, it is very low amount for course such as architecture compare to private institutes.

NIT Raipur - A perspective

The fee for General with annual income abobe 5 lakh is approx 1,35,000 per year which can be paid semester wise. For General category having income 1 Lakh to 5 Lakh and OBC category the fees are approx 75000 per year. Detailed fee structure for each year can be found on the institute website. There are multiple scholarships that you can avail here. All government scholarships are applicable as well. In institute also there are multiple scholarship opportunities available for meritious students. In Architecture, the employment is very less like 3 -4 offers from class of 40-45 but no one is unemployed at the end as the name of NIT works at some places to get you a decent job. Though it is the field where your own skills matters alot.

NIT RAIPUR, COME AND ENJOY

It does not any scholarship for general category students, it only has scholarship for sc, st, obc. and about fees. it's based on the annual income of the family.if the annual income is less than 1 lakhs then the fees will be Rs6000 , if the annual income is more than 1 Lakhs and below 5 Lakhs then the fees will 42000 and if the annual income is more than 5 Lakhs then the fees will be 110000. usually there is no hike in the fees.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course syllabus is up to the mark and a little less but enough industrial exploser is given. The faculties are quite young and not exactly what you consider the best but they give their best whenever you need them
