Everyone says K J Somaiya is better than TAPMI in all terms. Still, TAPMI is ahead of K J in rankings by almost every magazine or site. Why?

Studied PGDM from T. A. Pai Management Institute (2011)

TAPMI is considered to be much better than K J Somaiya. I can say this because my brother has completed his education from TAPMI and I have some friends who have studied in K J Somaiya.

  • TAPMI has been AACSB accredited for the past few years now. It's not that simple for colleges to attain and maintain that accreditation. TAPMI is ahead in rankings because it deserves to be ranked above K J Somaiya.
  • K J Somaiya provides courses for a lesser amount of money as compared to TAPMI and this is one of the major reasons why people tend to get confused between TAPMI and K J Somaiya.
  • Both K J Somaiya and TAPMI are considered to be Tier 2 colleges in India. TAPMI has been able to make students good leaders.
  • The only advantage that K J Somaiya has over TAPMI is the location. K J Somaiya is situated In Mumbai which can be of great benefit for many students.
  • TAPMI has helped over 400 students to get placed every year. The average package offered by companies to students of TAPMI comes around to be INR 10.6 Lakhs per annum. Some top recruiters of TAPMI include Deloitte, Microsoft, and Salesforce.
  • The campus and infrastructure of TAPMI are also a lot better than K J Somaiya.

Hence, TAPMI is better than K J Somaiya and deserves a better ranking in magazines and websites.

If I am considering either a CSE at BITS Pilani, chemical engineering in any IIT, or ECE or CSE at NIT Trichy, which one should I choose?

SK
Sneha Kanojia Posted On : September 4th, 2021
Studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

You should give preference to courses rather than the college. It is necessary to know about them beforehand. I can provide you a brief idea about each of the courses so that your choice becomes a little easier.

  1. Chemical Engineering involves chemistry, physics, mathematics, and even economics. You can also check the course curriculum of the courses at some institutes such as IIT Bombay.
  2. ECE is not just about circuits, semiconductor electronics, and Integrated Circuits. It involves a lot of mathematics such as calculus, functions, probabilities, and complex numbers. It also involves coding. If you are not very familiar with coding, you can do some free courses from Coursera, edX, MIT OCW, etc. before starting the course.
  3. CSE will involve lots of coding. Also, the placements in any college generally tend to be better than in other branches. So you may consider CSE for that as well.

If you want to do CSE or ECE, then BITS Pilani would be an excellent choice. For Chemical Engineering, IIT Bombay is a very good choice. 

NITs generally are very good in core branches and for CSE and ECE they may not be a very good choice as the faculty is not good.

Which is better BHU or DU?

AS
Anumita Sinha Posted On : May 13th, 2022
Economics from Banaras Hindu University (2018)

To say, one of these is better than the other will be an oversimplification. You should choose BHU or DU based on the course you are interested in. Here is a streamwise comparison of DU and BHU. 

Arts - For English and Economics, DU is better. BHU courses are better for Sanskrit, Hindi, Geography, and Philosophy. For the rest of these subjects, these institutes are at a similar level. 

Science - BHU is slightly ahead for most of the science stream. 

Commerce - For commerce courses, DU is definitely better. 

Engineering - It won’t be fair to compare IIT BHU with DU. The former is way ahead of the latter. 

Management - FMS is a tier 1 B-School and arguably the best non-IIM school in the country. IMS BHU ranks nowhere near FMS. 

Law - For law degrees, DU has a slight advantage because of its location. 

Medical - IMS BHU is one of the best medical institutes in the country. 

Academics are more or less the same at BHU and DU. However, big names like St. Stephens, SRCC, LSR, etc. are a little ahead of BHU in terms of teaching quality. BHU offers better research facilities, especially for science courses. DU is way ahead of BHU in terms of corporate jobs and civil services. 

BHU offers a better campus experience compared to DU. But if we talk about location, choosing a metropolitan city, Delhi will be more advantageous. You will have greater exposure and opportunities

The video comprises a comparative analysis of both universities

If you are getting into one of the top colleges at DU. You should go for it. If you are getting an average college, it’s still better to prefer DU for Commerce, Economics and English. BHU science faculty is good. If you are interested in a Science degree, you can choose BHU.

Has anyone chosen IIIT Hyderabad over IIT?

Sapna Malik updated Posted On : July 31st, 2023

Yes, one of my cousins decided to go for IIIT Hyderabad although he had the option of an IIT. The reason he made this decision was because he was certain of a career in CSE and wasn’t getting CSE in the top IITs. He was well aware that the IIIT Hyderabad CSE course is one of the best and toughest in India. 

Today his father is proud of his bold decision. He claims the college ration the students in stress management through strict attendance even in games or yoga. The students are always busy with some or the other assignment. 

However, the infrastructural facilities are great and the accommodation is quite comfortable. There are laundry services, good eateries, sports facilities, and a very friendly faculty pool. 

The best part is the crowd quality as IIIT Hyderabad has no reservation policy. Initially, the compulsory attendance rule may seem a bit rigid but you will realize it does make your life disciplined. 

All software giants are aware of the quality of students here and flock in groups to recruit the best minds. The institute has a record of 100% CS placements as it has the best CS course in the entire country with enough focus on research.

So, don’t hesitate from giving preference to IIITs instead of IITs just for the tag.

Should I prefer NIT Surat CS or BITS Goa EEE or CS?

AP
Akshay Prajapati Posted On : March 21st, 2023
Studied at BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus

There are several reasons why BITS Pilani Goa Campus CS is considered better than NIT Surat CS. Here are some of the main reasons:

  • Better Infrastructure: BITS Pilani Goa Campus has a world-class infrastructure with modern facilities and amenities that provide students with a comfortable and conducive learning environment. On the other hand, NIT Surat's infrastructure, though decent, is not as advanced as that of BITS Pilani Goa Campus.
  • Better Alumni Network: BITS Pilani Goa Campus has a vast and active alumni network that provides students with excellent networking opportunities and career guidance. NIT Surat's alumni network, while present, is not as well-established or connected as that of BITS Pilani Goa Campus.
  • Better Tag: BITS Pilani Goa Campus is a highly reputed and well-known institution in India and around the world. It is recognized for its academic excellence and has a strong brand value. In comparison, NIT Surat is not as well-known or recognized as BITS Pilani Goa Campus.
  • Better Teachers: BITS Pilani Goa Campus has some of the best faculty members in the country who are highly qualified, experienced, and dedicated to teaching. NIT Surat's faculty, while competent, is not as well-regarded as that of BITS Pilani Goa Campus.
  • Better Coding Culture: BITS Pilani Goa Campus has a strong coding culture, with numerous coding clubs, events, and hackathons that encourage students to develop their coding skills and innovate. NIT Surat, while also promoting coding, does not have as vibrant a coding culture as that of BITS Pilani Goa Campus.
  • No Ragging: BITS Pilani Goa Campus has a strict anti-ragging policy, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for all students. In contrast, NIT Surat has had some cases of ragging in the past.
  • Better Co-Curriculars and Extra-Curriculars: BITS Pilani Goa Campus offers a wide range of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, including sports, cultural events, and technical clubs. NIT Surat also offers such activities, but the range and quality of these activities are not as good as those offered by BITS Pilani Goa Campus.
  • Better All-Round Development: BITS Pilani Goa Campus focuses on the overall development of students, with a holistic approach that emphasizes academic, personal, and professional growth. NIT Surat also aims for this, but the approach and emphasis are not as comprehensive as that of BITS Pilani Goa Campus.

Overall, while NIT Surat is a good institution, BITS Pilani Goa Campus CS is considered a better option due to its superior infrastructure, faculty, alumni network, coding culture, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, and overall focus on student development.

Which is better, 'KJ Somaiya - Electronics engineering' OR 'Vivekanand - Electronics and Telecommunication engineering'?

SK
Shivani Krishnamurthy Posted On : August 31st, 2021
Studied at Swami Vivekanand College, Mumbai (Bombay) (2016)

Having known some people studying in these colleges, I can tell you that both colleges are really good in their own ways. But, you should consider the following before you make any decision:

  • KJ Somaiya has slowly improved over the years and now is considered much better than Mumbai University (MU).
  • Vivekanand is known to keep track of attendance which is not the case with KJ Somaiya.
  • If you are considering doing Electronics, you should know that Electronics and Telecommunications has an upper edge.
  • The exams at KJ Somaiya are tougher than MU. This is because MU repeats a lot of previous years’ questions.
  • You will get a 5 day holiday in MU before a semester paper. At KJ, you will only get a day or two. Therefore, at KJ, your exams will be hectic.
  • The semesters end pretty quickly at KJ as opposed to MU. 
  • MU students only get one month’s leave after a semester ends. For KJ, this leave is for 2 months. 
  • You can utilize this time to look for internships and other activities that will help strengthen your resume.
  • Electronics has a few subjects like digital communication which might overlap with telecommunications.
Categories EE at KJ Somaiya ETC at Vivekananda (MU)
Course Fee 13.50 lakhs 4.52 lakhs
Highest CTC 12 LPA 9-10 LPA
Average CTC 5-8 LPA 4.5 - 5 LPA
Recruiting Companies L&T, TCS, Phillips, Schneider Electric, etc. JP Morgan, Tata Power, Mercedes, Microsoft, etc.

Both the colleges are even. It will finally depend on where your interests lie and what you would like to do. Find out if you are more interested in telecommunications or just core electronics, then choose accordingly. 

Electronics will teach you more about electronic components, circuits and other basic ideas that might be required in general electronics. Telecommunications will only give you a deeper understanding of communication technologies.

Which is better- IEM in Ms. Ramaiah or EEE in Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering?

SR
Sushmita Raj Posted On : September 17th, 2021
Studied at Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering ,Bangalore (2016)

After doing some research online, I would suggest not to go for IEM at Ramaiah, until and unless you are extremely interested in studying that particular subject. Since it will not pay you anything and you will eventually wind up in the same category of mass placement at one of the service-based companies. 

Double-check the topics you will be studying. EEE is usually less exposed than IEM, yet EEE is regarded as the most complex branch to be studied. 

The majority of EEE / ECE / other branches receive job offers from Infosys, HCL, Accenture, or Tech Mahindra.

Parameters IEM at Ms. Ramaiah EEE at Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering
Tuition Fees INR 3.47 lakh  INR 10 lakh
Placement Percentage 95% 70%
Highest Package 13 LPA 15 LPA
Average Package 7.6 LPA INR 8 LPA

So, what is the point of learning core Electronics if all you have to do at the conclusion of your engineering degree is code? If you want to build a career, think seriously about the branch you select. Regardless of the institution you attend, I believe EEE is far superior to IEM. Pursue EEE only if you are truly passionate about the subject.

If you are an academically interested person, both NIT Kurukshetra and PEC Chandigarh will cherish you, and you will get very good opportunities in both colleges. Here are some key points to consider when deciding between the two:

Commonalities between the two colleges:

  • Both are constituent colleges of Anna University, so they share certain components, including course offerings, examination schedules, and university calendar events.
  • Faculty transfers between the colleges occasionally, and collaboration in research is not uncommon.
  • Both colleges have bright and interesting peers and professors to inspire you.

Where PEC Chandigarh is better:

  • Scale: PEC is a bigger college with more people.
  • Exposure: PEC is in the center of the city and is a well-known institution in the area.
  • Faculty: PEC's faculty in the CS department has more doctorates, and the department has been around for a few decades.
  • Seniors: PEC has been teaching computer science for longer than NIT Kurukshetra, so there are more alumni out there creating and contributing to organizations.
  • Sponsors: Due to the above reasons, PEC has very good sponsorship for college events.
  • Campus: PEC's campus is beautiful, with easy access to AU events like counseling, placements, and festivals that happen in AU grounds.

Where NIT Kurukshetra is better:

  • Seniors Link: The link with seniors is much stronger at NIT Kurukshetra, with a strong emotional dimension to the senior-junior relationship.
  • Entrepreneurship: NIT Kurukshetra has an incubation center on campus, which is great for students interested in starting up early on.
  • Programming: NIT Kurukshetra has a good competitive programming culture, with consistently high rankings in the Regional ACM-ICPC competitions.
  • Campus: NIT Kurukshetra's campus is conveniently located near Chromepet Railway station and the bus stop, making it easy to get around the area. The campus also has a rich history, serving as a hanger for wartime planes, and the aeronautics department hosts a couple of legacy planes for people to admire.

Ultimately, the decision between NIT Kurukshetra and PEC Chandigarh depends on your personal preferences and priorities. Consider factors such as location, campus facilities, faculty, and alumni network when making your choice.

Which is better after graduate in civil: an M.Tech in transportation engineering from an IIT, or construction management from an IIT or NICMAR?

AS
Ajit Singhania Posted On : September 23rd, 2021
Studied M.Tech in Electrical Engineering at IIT Kharagpur

IIT Delhi and IIT Madras offer a Post-Graduation in Construction Technology and Management. To secure a seat at either of the institutes, you must obtain a good rank in the GATE examination.

IIT Delhi gives more weightage to the technical aspects of the course, while NICMAR focuses more on the managerial aspects of Construction. The curriculum of the course is unmatched, yet the placements, at times, can be quite unanticipated. 

Both the courses are quite equivalent to each other on various stages whatsoever. But, when the decision boils down to which among the both is better, then IIT Delhi might win the race.

Now, the Transportation Engineering department from IITs is indeed a great course. The average package some of my seniors from this course secured was about INR 5 LPA. However, by all means, your placement partially also depends upon whether or not you are typically prepared for it.
