Which course is better...mechanical engineering dual degree at IIEST Shibpur or 4 years degree mechanical engineering degree at NIT DURGAPUR?
When you complete a course of four years normally, you complete your graduation with the fundamentals of your branch which allows you to pursue higher studies if they are in your interests. It also gives you the option, at the same time, to complete your undergraduate degree in another subject if you wish to.
If you want to pursue a dual course, it can probably put a dent in your freedom to pursue your interests and you will be ‘rewarded’ with the master’s degree. Another problem after receiving the master’s degree would be the confusion about looking for a job, pursuing a doctorate in the field of your interest(s).
The dual degree in mechanical will demand more dedication from you but the four-year degrees are easier compared to those. Mechanical engineering is a good option if going for higher studies is in your interests.
Can I upgrade from metallurgy to ECE in IIEST Shibpur?
Yes, you can change your branch from metallurgy to ECE after the 1st year. At IIEST Shibpur only 20% of students in each branch are given that choice except the architecture branch. There are the following conditions for changing branches:
- You should not have past records of failure supplementary or re-admission.
- You should not have any record of disciplinary action in the college.
- Your dues should be clear to date.
- This scheme is restricted to 5% of the total seats available in the various branches.
- The reduction in the number of students in each branch should not go below 10% after the relocation.
- You should have a good CGPA in the last semester. It should be above 8.4 points in the metallurgical department.
Allocations are given on the basis of the above conditions and if there is a tie between two students then the tie is broken through the CGPA marks in physics, chemistry, and math. One who has the highest marks gets the seat.
Which is better: CS from KIIT or mechanical from Thapar University?
Having known some people studying in both these institutions, I can say that KIIT is promising and is getting better every year. Thapar is a well-known and much older institute. You can choose either by preferring the college or the branch.
- If you are interested in studying mechanical engineering then go to Thapar. It has good placements for Mechanical. The faculty department is also decent.
- If you are more inclined towards coding go for CSE from KIIT. It is a more practical-oriented subject.
- If the interests do not lie in either and you just want a B.Tech degree and want to pursue higher studies or MBA, then go for CSE as that is the easiest among all the others.
- It will be more practical-based learning, more industry-oriented and it has the best scope after graduation.
