What should I do to create an attractive CV? I am a first-year Civil Engineering student at IIEST, Shibpur.

AB
Ankita Bose Posted On : March 14th, 2021
IIEST Shibpur

The term attractive is relative, in the context of a CV or resume. You just showcase your skill-set, education, work experience, etc in these documents. Yes, a CV can be well-organized or well-formed. A well-formed CV may be found attractive to one recruiter and in the very same way, it may be found dull to some. So, there is a pinch of luck factor also required. So first you need to consider for what company you are going to apply. Your CV should be target-specific and must target a company that is interested in the skills you have. For Example, If it is an analytics firm then put some extra effort to showcase your interpersonal skills as well as your extracurricular activities. If it is a core technical job then vocational training and other academic projects should be highlighted well.

To make a good cv consider the following points. 

  • The font size should never exceed 16. A minimum would preferably be 12. This font looks professional.
  • Use professionally used fonts like times new roman etc. Don't forget to make certain comments bold or underlined.
  • You should have an email id that doesn't contain anything funny. For ex- if someone named Aditya Ghose makes his email id adityarocks@gmail.com it will not come across as professional.
  • Don't forget to use margins in ur CV. Your CV should look clean and spacious.
  • The declaration is not needed for campus placement. If you try off-campus then you have to write a declaration to verify that it's your cv.
  • Make use of a table to write down your academic qualifications and your percentage of marks, CGPA, etc.
  • The most important thing to note is that a CV should never start with the title CV or Resume.
  • Don't forget to convert it to .pdf format as it looks more professional.

Hope this was helpful. You can also consult various websites to understand the process better. You can also download some formats for your reference.

Can I get subjects of IS and CS at IIEST, Shibpur?

KR
Kritika Roy Posted On : June 10th, 2021
B.Tech Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2020)

I have a few friends from IIEST, Shibpur and many of them are unaware of the subjects of IS. As for CS, it is available but you will have to score quite high as the cutoff for the branch has been pretty high in recent years.

A few years back, in around the year of 2016, the cut-off for in and outside students of West Bengal was around 12,000 and 19,000 respectively. This was when IIEST, Shibpur offered a 5-year B.Tech + M.Tech Dual Degree course.

In 2017, the institute started a 4-year B.Tech course, making the cut-off go under a drastic change. The cutoff for the CS branch of IIEST, Shibpur became even higher. Here is the cutoff for CS in recent years.

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

SG
Souvick Gupta Posted On : June 10th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

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.

Which is the better option, ET in IET DAVV or CSE in JEC?

AS
Angad Singh Posted On : July 13th, 2021
Studied at Delhi University (2019)

A few of my friends graduated from both IET DAVV and JEC. They say that the choice mostly varies according to your interests and the plans you have for your future.

  • If you are planning for GATE then ET will not be a good choice. But if you are thinking of campus placements then IET has better records of placements than JEC.
  • There is no more chance of growth in ET compared to CS. You will get better placements with CSE but for exposure and environment, IET is the better one.
  • You will find good seniors and quite a supportive faculty.
  • Talking of the colleges’ locations, Indore is better than Jabalpur not only fits your plans but also an important parameter while choosing a college.
Categories ET in IET DAVV CSE in JEC
Course Fee 2.74 lakh 22,300 (1st year)
Highest CTC 20 LPA 7-9 LPA
Average CTC 6 LPA 3.5 LPA
Recruiting Companies TCS, Phillips, Tech Mahindra, Mu Sigma, etc. Wipro, Persistence, Capgemini, Infosys, etc.

Finally, IET is a better college compared to JEC but the ET course at IET is mediocre while the CS branch has a great scope. However, the final decision is up to you. Choose wisely.

Which is better for chemical engineering, ISM Dhanbad or ICT Mumbai?

MR
Manish Raj Posted On : January 28th, 2021
M.Tech. Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee

ICT Mumbai is a better option for chemical engineering. A friend of mine recommended ICT Mumbai due to certain major reasons listed below: 

  • ICT Mumbai has a history of providing consultancy to several industries.They are provided with much-needed solutions. 
  • Being a student of ICT Mumbai will give you a chance to gain theoretical knowledge as well as practical experience. ICT Mumbai will provide the students with practical and operational knowledge in abundance.
  • The placement scenario is also good, the students will be interviewed and recruited by core companies.
  • A student needs to understand and remember that chemical engineering doesn't account for chemistry. The students/engineers from this branch of science are expected to invent and design machines that will be capable of producing products with certain specifications.
  • The product should guarantee the safety of the personal, equipment, and the environment at large, the product should be compatible with the utmost and proper utilization of resources.
  • The inference of engineering knowledge into practical knowledge is what will make a student irreplaceable. This can be achieved through practical experiences, troubleshooting, and operational experience, all of which are available in Mumbai.

Therefore, the final choice should be ICT Mumbai for pursuing chemical engineering. Here is a presentation of some of the factual information:

Particulars 

ICT Mumbai

ISM Dhanbad

Placement rate(2020)

70%

65%

Average salary package (2020)

>4.5LPA AND <16.5LPA

>9LPA AND <43LPA

Fee structure(2020)

Rs. 85,350 (for the first year)

Rs. 8,80,000 

ICT Mumbai is better than ISM Dhanbad from every aspect. The faculty is well read and has ample domain knowledge. They try their level best to help students with their doubts. I hope the information provided above helps.

My sister did her B.Tech from NIT Kurukshetra as it is one of the top-rated NIT and she had a wonderful time there.

So, I would suggest you to go for Electrical Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra. However to help you make a better decision here’s a comparison between the three colleges:

Particulars

NIT Kurukshetra (EE)

IIIT Lucknow (CSE)

IIIT Guwahati (CSE)

Fees (total)

9.72 lacs

9 lacs

If you choose a better college over a branch then you will have an advantage during placements as companies would be aching to visit for hiring new students. You can have a better branch but it won’t matter as you wouldn’t get enough placement opportunities. Students from NIT are placed in some of the top multinational companies.
