I got an AIR rank of 3964 in the JEE Mains. Which one should I prefer, MNNIT Allahabad for computer science or electronics or DTU for software engineering?

Both MNNIT Allahabad and DTU are well-established and much-reputed colleges. If you get admission to any of the colleges, your future will be bright and you will land up really well in companies.

Moreover, choose a branch that excites you as it is equally important as the college you will take admission in. If programming excites you, then MNNIT CSE is the best choice. If not, you can go for hardware options i.e. Electronics. Though, I'm not sure how good the software engineering of DTU is.

In terms of placements and research areas, MNNIT is not extreme but fine. You won’t get excellent faculties but you will learn a lot from their experiences. Try not to be depending on your faculty in your college life. You'll have to develop your interest and learn on your own.

Do not think only about the college but make sure you choose the correct branch as well. Both are equally important as you know that your future will depend on them.

Both IIT BHU and MNNIT Allahabad are old and well-reputed colleges and offer good CSE programs in terms of academics and placements.

Being an old NIT, MNNIT Allahabad offers decent placement and the placement rate for CSE at this institute is around 97.60%. In the 2019, 163 students were placed out of 167 students from the CSE department and the average CTC offered was around 15.12 LPA. Whereas, the highest CTC went up to 36 LPA.

But IIT BHU offers a better coding culture than MNNIT Allahabad. In IIT BHU almost every student gets engaged in coding, irrespective of their branch which makes for a rich coding culture on the campus.

What are monthly expenses for a B Tech student at MNNIT Allahabad?

KK
Kritika Kumari Posted On : July 2nd, 2021
ECE at MNNIT Allahabad 2020

For the most part, it depends upon how careful you are with your budget. Commonly, local trips, note print-outs, and books take up a quarter of the expenses. Generally speaking, the major portion of expenses technically results from the food facilities you avail of.

You can avail food from the hostel mess three times per day. Typically, the food quality can range anywhere from average to bad. However, the provision of food from the hostel mess is still quite acceptable, especially if you are a vegetarian.

Having said that, you can most likely find yourself making frequent trips to several food joints situated both in and out of the campus. Apart from that, you can pay a visit to the Civil Lines about once or twice a month at a minimum as well.

The food joints and restaurants situated in Allahabad are quite affordable when compared to other mega metropolitan or metropolitan cities. Which is to say, an average of about INR. 3000 to INR. 3500 can be quite enough to pass through a month if discreetly spent.

On the flip side, if you can manage well with the food facilitated by the mess, then you can conveniently take down your expenses to about INR. 2000 per month.

Which one should I choose, IIM Indore IPM vs NIT allahbad ?

DS
Dipesh Sharma Posted On : August 28th, 2021
IPM from Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Indore

If your main goal is to study economics, maths and statistics then opting for IPM at IIM Indore would be a very good idea. However, the fee structure is very high. INR 4,00,000 per annum for domestic students and for international students, it is INR 6,00,000.

You will also have to study subjects which you will necessarily not like such as sociology, psychology, etc.

Another drawback is that there is no degree for IPM. You will only get a certificate from IGNOU.

In the case of NIT Allahabad, it is a reputed institute for engineering. You will be able to study subjects that meet your interests. The fees are also very less. In the placement drive of 2020, the highest package offered to the students was INR 49 LPA. Some of the top recruiters were IBM, Adobe, Accenture, Tata Steel, Capgemini, etc. The average package was INR 10.28 LPA.

Is MNNIT Allahabad better than COEP Pune?

SC
Sukriti Roy Chowdhury Posted On : July 5th, 2021
CSE at MNNIT Allahabad (2017 - 2021)

On an overall basis, MNNIT Allahabad is generally considered one step ahead of COEP, Pune.

The reason behind it is that MNNIT is a well-reputed, prestigious institute that recently got placed at rank 3rd in the list of top NITs in India. On the flip side, COEP Pune is a common government college of India.

MNNIT is better in terms of placements, infrastructure, research and development cell, alumni network, sports activities, funds disbursement, faculty, and others, as opposed to COEP Pune. The table below gives a brief comparison of the two institutes.

Institute

MNNIT Allahabad

Major recruiters

If you have to choose between both of them, going for MNNIT Allahabad will be a better choice because there can hardly be any comparisons between an NIT and a government-run college of India.

  • JEE MAINis the entrance exam for the institution.
  • 1st-yearfee for the institution isRs 84,666
  • General students’ cut-off for other state is from 3133 to 4986 and for home state it is starting from 4057 and ending at 5697.

  • With PCM as the subject, the candidate has to complete 10+2 acquiring a minimum of 60%.
  • JEE Mainis considered as the entrance exam for the institution.
  • ? 143,700 is the first year fee for the IT course.
  • General students’ cut-off starts from 1291 and ends at 5330 (in the year 2019)

  • The placement rate of the institute is 95%.
  • Some of the top recruiters of the institutions are Adobe, Google, Microsoft, Linkedin, Zomato, Walmart Labs, Zendrive, CodeNation, Arista Networks, Cisco Systems, Juniper Networks, etc.

Now based on all the above-mentioned data, the candidate can compare and come to the conclusion. Other factors that can be made into considerations are city life (which will be almost equivalent for both of them), faculties (highly qualified teachers are there in both the institutions), campus life, hostel facilities, etc. But at the end of the day, it is the subject and the interests of the students that matters for a successful future.
