Which college is best for CSE- IIT Patna, MNNIT Allahabad or ISM Dhanbad?
I will refrain from giving you a detailed answer because others have already done so. Rather my explanation will be simple yet impactful
- IIT Patna is a new IIT so you can avail the benefits of the IIT tag only and the institute in itself is just average.
- MNNIT Allahabad on the other hand has a rich legacy as it’s an old college. It has extensive alumni and is one of the top NITs.
- ISM, now an IIT, has the combined features of both aforementioned institutes. It’s old and also has an IIT tag attached to it.
That being said, my preference order among these institutes is, ISM>IIT Patna>MNNIT
How is CS taught at IIIT Hyderabad?
The delivery of the CS curriculum at IIIT Hyderabad is indeed a beautiful process because that’s what IIIT Hyderabad is known for. The curriculum is taught through extensive pedagogy in the form of classes, tutorials, lab sessions, assignments, and mid and end-sem exams.
- Classes: The classes are very dynamic covering very little concept in detail addressing the whys and whats. The classes are very helpful and most students who are attentive can score good grades easily.
- Labs: Here, the theoretical concepts are given a practical approach and their implementation is taught by the TAs. They help you constantly in rectifying errors and shortcomings in coding.
- Tutorials: Tutorials usually comprise advanced concepts and a bit of high-level problems. They challenge the cider in you and are very helpful in improving your caliber.
- Assignments: Another effective mode of learning is assignments that tend to evaluate your learning and knowledge. Usually, the level of assignments is higher than classes and tutorials to make things more challenging. Before the submission, these problems are discussed to ensure everyone completes the assignments before the deadline.
- Other courses: Other courses like Maths 1 and Math 2 are customized for CS such that students are taught math required for Data structures in Math 1 itself.
Overall, everything in IIIT Hyderabad is directly or indirectly related to CS!
\If I get selected into NSIT and IIIT-H for computer science, which one should I choose? What are the pros and cons at each of them?
Here are the pros and cons of both NSUT and IIIT Hyderabad
NSUT Pros:
- NSUT has a very light academic workload so you can spend time exploring your passions
- The crowd here is excellent and will teach you a lot during your time here.
- NSUT is located in the capital city and enjoys a lot of benefits. Moreover, it’s located away from the hustle and bustle of the city in
- NSUT students get easy access to internships because Delhi has a lot of start-ups.
- NSUT hostels are decent and the food served is much better than a lot of other colleges around.
NSUT Cons:
- NSUT has Computer Engineering instead of Computer Science & Engineering which comprised subjects related to hardware
- The syllabus is outdated and no new developments in the field are covered. Moreover, core CS subjects are taught only after the 5th sem
- NSUT has a very pathetic research scenario and only a few professors are involved in good research work.
- NSUT infrastructure and facilities are in a very bad state. There isn't a Wi-Fi facility on campus and no internet in hostels.
IIIT Hyderabad Pros:
- IIIT Hyderabad has the best CS curriculum in India. You will be mostly studying core CS courses.
- IIIT Hyderabad has a rich coding culture and has produced a large number of coders. Some of them have even been featured at the top in online programming judges and competitions
- IIIT Hyderabad has an active research culture and students are required to do research as a part of their course.
- The placement scenario of IIIT Hyderabad is amazing and the best companies come for recruitment.
IIIT Hyderabad Cons: Its curriculum is pretty challenging and very much CS-tailored making it difficult for students to explore their non-CS interests.
I will suggest you go for IIIT Hyderabad as it has better opportunities and an academic environment.
What is the course: electronics and computer science engineering at KIIT?
As a reflection of the sheep mentality, the majority of engineering aspirants can be seen running after CS or IT. However, I will suggest you also give preference to your interests first.
Electronics and Computer Science Engineering is a recently launched branch at KIIT and is actually great. Not many batches have passed out yet, but the branch seems promising like any other branch at KIIT.
- In the first year, the same foundation courses are taught that are common in all the branches. These include Physics, Chemistry, Basic Electronics, Engineering Mechanics, etc.
- From the second year, you will be intrigued by the ECE concepts. Out of the overall curriculum, approximately 55% weightage is given to electronics subjects and 45% weightage is given to CS subjects.
- From what I have heard, the subjects taught to ECE are easier than the subjects taught to CS and Electronics students individually.
In all, Electronics and Computer Science Engineering is a decent choice especially if you are interested in the field. However, if you are still aiming for CS, then you can opt for a branch change after one year. The cut-off for branch change is 8.5 CGPA but to get into CS you will need around 9.2+ and 8.9 or more for IT.
Which is better, IIT Dhanbad CSE or Thapar CSE?
I don’t need to even think twice before saying that IIT Dhanbad CSE is a far better option than Thapar CSE. The former is funded by the central government thereby offering an excellent academic background and opportunities. IIT Dhanbad has a beautiful campus and a vibrant campus life.
Here is the placement scenario of its CSE branch:
|
Placement Percentage |
93.13% |
|
Average Package |
INR 27.29 LPA |
|
Salary Range |
INR 5 LPA to INR 56 LPA |
|
Number of Recruiters |
167 |
Thapar University, on the other hand, is a semi-government tier 2 that cannot be compared to IIT Dhanbad at all. You should not miss the chance to get the most coveted IIT tag!
What would be a comparison between CSE at IIIT Delhi and IIIT Bangalore?
Based on my research, I will present some points to support the opinion that I will put by the end of my answer-
- Faculty- The faculty of IIIT Delhi is considered to be one of the best in India. The college offers top-quality classroom teaching. But even IIITB has good professors.
- Curriculum- IIITD offers the most relevant and flexible curriculum for B.Tech CSE. They will teach you core CS from the first year itself. Even IIITB teaches core CS from the first year, but it started with iM.Tech quite recently, in 2017. IIITB doesn’t offer B.Tech courses.
- Funding and perks- As IIIT Delhi is a state government-run institute, it gets funding and other perks.
- Infrastructure and Internet facilities- Being a new institute, IIIT Delhi has better infrastructure and Internet facilities.
IIIT Bangalore is a better choice for an M.Tech CS, based on curriculum, placements, etc. But as far as UG studies are concerned, B.Tech CS at IIIT Delhi is better than iM.Tech CS at IIIT Bangalore.
How is electronics and computer at Thapar University? Should I prefer it over electronics and communication?
There is a considerable difference between the two branches of Electronics and Computer and Electronics and Communication. You can make an informed decision only after knowing the nature of the branches and seeing if they align with your interests. So, let’s look at these branches individually
Electronics and Communication - This branch covers concepts related to electronic circuits, and their application in electronic devices. It also includes concepts related to communication systems, CORE Electronics, and its application in embedded communication systems.
Electronics and Computers: This branch has been recently started in collaboration with Trinity College and Dublin. The branch covers basic electronic circuits and devices. It includes courses like Data Structures and Algorithms, Machine learning, etc. Basically, it’s the control of electronic devices using the methods of a computer.
Go for the branch that intrigues you the most.You can go through the detailed syllabus and also contact the current students to get a better understanding.
