How is EEE at NIT Calicut?

DS
Devesh Saraf Posted On : April 25th, 2023
Studied at NIT Calicut

If you are considering studying at the National Institute of Technology Calicut, here are some important points to keep in mind:

Academics:

  • The curriculum was last updated in 2017, and there is very little emphasis on practical applications.
  • The syllabus is designed to help you crack exams like GATE, but there may be pressure in some semesters and a lot of free time in others.
  • Simulation software is not taught as part of the curriculum, so it's a good idea to attend workshops conducted by various clubs and student groups.
  • Despite these challenges, many students secure admission in various IITs and IIMs every year.

Faculty:

  • While some of the faculty members are enthusiastic about teaching, others may not have a strong grasp of the subject or may not be interested in teaching.
  • Because there is a shortage of permanent faculty in some departments, some courses (especially electives) may be taught by ad-hoc staff with little or no teaching experience.
  • It's important to choose your electives wisely to ensure that you get the best education possible.

Infrastructure:

  • The classrooms are well-equipped, and there is usually no shortage of equipment in the labs.
  • However, the UG labs may be crowded, and you may need to do experiments in groups of 3 or 4 students in hot and humid weather conditions.

Placements:

  • Many core companies like Bosch, Schneider Electric, ABB, Larsen, and Toubro visit the campus for placements.
  • For electrical profile jobs, the packages may not be very high.
  • For electronics profile jobs, companies like Texas Instruments and Tektronix hire students from EEE backgrounds.
  • There are also many software and consultancy companies that hire EEE students.
  • The average placement rate is usually around 70-75%.

Going abroad:

  • The department has a good record of students being accepted for MS programs in renowned universities abroad.
  • If you have plans to go abroad for an MS, it's important to choose your electives carefully and select your project and guide wisely to get a strong recommendation.

Is Amity University the best for aerospace engineering?

TC
Tanushree Chakraborty Posted On : May 7th, 2021
M.Tech Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering & Composite Materials, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (2019)

One of my friends studied aerospace engineering at Amity University, so let me share his experiences about the college and also the true facts about Amity University.

Amity University offers two programs in Aerospace - BTech in Aerospace Engineering and a Dual degree program ( Integrated BTech + MTech).

  • There are very few experienced faculty members in both of these departments. They are not very active and supportive.
  • The course curriculum is well designed, however, the teaching methodology is not very impressive.
  • The department is very strict about the attendance of students. The students need to maintain a minimum of 75% attendance. The department debarred the students who fail to attain 75% attendance in any subject.
  • The aerospace department is separated from the Amity School of Engineering and technology and thus the students miss out on most of the events and programs.
  • The student crowd is huge at Amity. There are various spots of the student crowd such as Domino, CCD, Small market, Salons, etc. huge events are being organized for students.

Categories

Aerospace Engineering at Amity

Course Fee

9.20 lakh

Placement Percentage

30-40%

Highest CTC

10-13 LPA

Average CTC

4-5 LPA

Recruiting Companies

Rockwell, Wipro, Indigo, Spice JET, Tech Mahindra, etc.

The campus placement is not good in the aerospace department. Either you will be selected in Defence or any IT company. There are no internship opportunities available. You will hardly get a package ranging from INR 4-5 LPA. The course fee is also high in respect to the placement given. The course curriculum is mainly theoretical and very less practical.

You should try for another better college for doing Aerospace rather than in Amity.

Is the B.Tech from Jain University Bangalore any good? What is its reputation in Bangalore?

YM
Yogesh Manas Posted On : May 17th, 2021
Studied Bachelor of Technology Degrees & Computer Science, School of Engineering and Technology, Jain University

A friend of mine who studies at Jain University says the faculty is decent but if you are mainly looking for placements, there is no guarantee. There are quite a few IT jobs available but since Bangalore is the Silicon City of the country, you will probably not get placements in core areas.

From what information was shared with me, the hostel fees and tuition fees are also quite high. Plus, admission to the university is also given directly by filling up the application form or you can even give the COMEDK, KCET exam or contact the college directly.

Infrastructure-wise, the college is definitely good with five-star facilities in your hostel rooms and Bangalore city to explore. But, you have to pay for almost everything.

You will see a diverse crowd in the college including a few Africans too. However, you will probably not be able to gain industry-relevant skills that might help boost your career. Overall, it is an okay university.

Getting CSE at Thapar University as well as Jaypee Noida (JIIT) , which college should I choose?

MA
Madhav Aneja Posted On : August 8th, 2023
Lived in Chandigarh, India

Had you asked this question 4-5 years ago, the common answer would have been Thapar University. However, things have changed a lot in the last few years. Here are some reasons why I would suggest you to go for JIIT Noida for your B.Tech CSE-

  1. The crowd quality at Thapar University has gone down drastically. The reasons behind this are a 50% quota for Punjab students and the enormous increase in the number of seats. Both these actions have resulted in very low cut offs. The cutoff rank for Punjab students in JEE Mains is 1.5 Lakh+ for CSE department. The closing rank of JIIT Noida for the same is around 51 K+. Thus, the crowd is better in JIIT Noida as compared to Thapar.
  2. The batch size at Thapar University is much bigger than JIIT N. Thapar University has a batch size of 1200+ students for Computers while JIIT Noida has a batch size of only 250+ students. A smaller batch size means more placement opportunities and better attention towards the learning of each student.
  3. Location-wise, NCR offers more opportunities than Patiala. You will get numerous opportunities in NCR like trade shows, conferences, training, better placements, etc. Gurgaon and Noida are the new IT Hubs, second only to Bangalore and at par with Hyderabad and Pune. As a CSE student, you should prefer Noida over Patiala. 
  4. Though Thapar University has a bigger campus of 250 acres, your life will mostly revolve around your classrooms, nearby areas and your hostel. Thus, the smaller campus of JIIT N should not be that big an obstacle.
  5. The average package for B.Tech CSE is around INR 13.28 LPA at JIIT Noida, which is better than Thapar University in which the average package for the UG stream stands at around INR 10.97 LPA. Studying at JIIT Noida is also around 30-40% cheaper than Thapar.

Thus, at present, CSE from JIIT Noida is a much better choice.

Which one should I prefer, NIT Bhopal for CSE or NIT Calicut for CSE?

VP
Vaibhav Patwari Posted On : August 24th, 2021
B.Tech. Computer Science and Engineering, Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT), Bhopal (2020)

A friend of mine used to be a student of NIT Bhopal and I can give you some insights based on his experiences.

  • Faculty: In terms of faculty, the less you expect from them the better. You will be entirely left to fend for yourselves. Even if the labs are more or less okay, you will have to approach a faculty for making use of the facilities and learn on your own.
  • Attendance: It is not mandatory for the students to maintain a certain percentage of attendance. Having an attendance of 40-50% would be enough. A lot of the students who were in my friend’s batch completed the program through PDF files.
  • Labs: If you are not smart enough to learn on your own then the labs will not be of much help to you. The scenario is changing now however and the students are being forced to go to the labs. 
  • Projects: If you are passionate about development then it will probably get a huge blow as researches oriented programs are only accepted at NIT Bhopal. The institute wants to publish more and more of its research papers in its name for career development. If you do not submit your research paper at the end of your project, your grades will be negatively affected.
  • Placements: Speaking about the placements, it’s good for CSE. All the cons of the institute do not take a toll on the impressive placement record of NIT Bhopal.
  • Coding culture: The competitive programming at NIT Bhopal will bring you in contact with some of the best coders of the institute. The atmosphere also promotes healthy competition.

Apart from all these pros and cons, you will get ample time to prepare for competitive exams like CAT, UPSC, GMAT, GRE, etc.

What is the importance of a CGPA for a B.Tech (CSE) student to get a good campus placement at Nit Warangal?

SB
Sriparna Banerjee Posted On : August 14th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Rourkela

I have said this many times and will say it again, one should never underestimate the value a CGPA holds in shaping your career. Don’t fall for the trap ‘Grades don’t Matter’ because they do and to a great extent. This can be further understood through the following anecdote that revolves around two of my closest friends.

Both of them were CSE students at NIT Rourkela. Both were regular in their classes and completed their assignments on time. However, by the end of the 3rd year, one friend scored a CGPA of 6.90 while the other ended up getting a 7.05 CGPA .

During the placements, most top companies like Microsoft, Uber, De-shaw, Arcesium, Visa, and Samsung set their cutoffs to 7 CGPA. Students who did not qualify for this weren’t eligible to sit for their placements. The friend with the higher CGPA appeared in the interview for several companies and ended up with a good role and package while the other friend with slightly less but below 7 CGP could not even sit for their placements. Eventually, he got placed in an average company with a low package.

The core lesson from this anecdote is that CGPA matters a lot during placements, especially for the best companies. Hope my answer clarified the importance of a CGPA for a BTech in CSE student at NIT Warangal.

B.Tech Instrumentation Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India (2019)

My brother is a recent graduate of Instrumentation and Control Engineering at NIT Trichy, so let me share some facts about its overall performance. 

There are some pros and cons of the department which include:

Pros:

  1. Vibration control research in ICE at Nit Trichy is really good.
  2. Robotics, Control, and Electronics are also good for pursuing your graduate studies.
  3. Career/ Job aspects across a variety of profiles are accessible for ICE graduates in campus placements.
  4. Seniors help a lot with academics.
  5. You will be trained to work under pressure.
  6. Classrooms are neat and have a great environment. No uniform is required for entering the labs.

Categories

5.65 lakh

Placement Percentage

80-90%

Highest CTC

20 LPA

Average CTC

12 LPA

Recruiting Companies

Tech Mahindra, TCS, Texas Instruments, JP Morgan, etc.

Cons:

  1. There are only 11 faculties in the department out of which only two faculties teach properly. 
  2. Labs are not up-to-the-mark. Most of the electronics components don’t work properly. The guidance is inadequate.
  3. Assignments provide little help.
  4. Due to continuous fests in the college, it might be difficult to concentrate on your studies.
  5. Like every college, there should be 4 classes per week, but here in ICE, the faculty members tend to keep 6-8 classes per week with students attending the classes just for the attendance.
  6. Subjects like PDD, Engineering Mechanics, and Analytical Instrumentation are taken for granted. 

If you are really interested in Instrumentation, only then you should join this department. Otherwise, join some other branch in NIT T so that you are able to learn something.
