Which is better, an IIT KGP CSE dual degree or an IIT Roorkee CSE B.Tech?

KB
Keshav Behera Posted On : April 17th, 2023
B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee

Without any second thoughts, choose IIT Roorkee CSE B. Tech over IIT KGP CSE dual degree because dual degrees are usually less preferred by companies coming for placements.

It’s better to do MTech after BTech than to opt for a dual degree. The main reason is that in Masters you are open to changing your branch in case your interest goes to another field. But a dual degree means you will be studying the same field with no option of changing in between.

Another major disadvantage of a dual degree is that you are not eligible to change your branch to a 4-year program irrespective of your CGPA

You will see your batchmates leaving a year before you and getting offers and settling well before you.

IIT KGP no doubt is older and better than IIT Roorkee in every aspect. But as far as the program is concerned, a dual degree is not worth spending so many years at all.

What should I take, electrical engineering at IIT Delhi or CSE at BITS Pilani?

A
Admin Posted On : July 9th, 2024

IIT Delhi and BITS Pilani are two highly reputed institutions for engineering studies in India. I am a second year B.Tech Electrical student at IIT Delhi. During my time, I was faced with a similar dilemma. But I ended up choosing IIT Delhi over BITS Pilani for my studies.

I would recommend you choose Electrical Engineering at IIT Delhi over CSE at BITS Pilani because of these reasons:

  • Brand Value: IIT Delhi carries the prestigious “IIT'' tag  which holds more brand value than the “BITS Pilani'' tag. This will become important to you when applying to foreign universities for your higher education. 
  • Fees: As a government institution, the fees of IIT Delhi is much more affordable as compared to BITS Pilani. This in turn, gives IIT Delhi a higher position in ROI (Return on Investment) because it offers even better placements. 

Here are the important comparisons between Electrical Engineering at IIT Delhi and CSE at BITS Pilani:

Parameters

BITS Pilani CSE

Course Fee

INR 99,650 (for sem-1)*

*This is the fee-structure for General/OBC students with family income>5 LPA. Thus, I would suggest you choose Electrical Engineering at IIT Delhi over CSE at BITS Pilani.

I am studying for a B.Tech in CSE at NIET Greater Noida. Will I be able to work in big IT companies in the future?

PR
Prateek Rajan Posted On : November 4th, 2022

You will choose your own path, and how much you are willing to learn is entirely up to you. It is up to you to improve your skills.

NIET is the only college in the Delhi NCR that has the following characteristics:

  • Recognized by three government bodies: NAAC Grade 'A,' NBA, and NIRF Ranking. 

  • Best faculty members, infrastructure, lab facilities, and round-the-clock placement activities.

  • Furthermore, the NIET administration is most concerned with placing each student. For student placement, NIET was the first institute in NCR to have a Microsoft Innovation Centre (to provide students with industry-specific training), Prometric Lab, Mock Preparation, TCS Accreditation, and many other facilities. 

  • Thousands of NIET students are working in various MNCs such as Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, Cisco, Google, TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and others, as well as various government organizations in India.

Although you want to work for a large IT firm, if you do not get a job with a large IT firm, do not lose faith in yourself. If you get a job in a small IT company, it's not a bad option for freshers because you'll learn a lot and have more responsibilities.

B.E Computer Science, Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra (2019)

If you compare them in terms of placement, infrastructure, ambiance, and alumni network BIT Mesra has an upper hand over MANIT Bhopal.

Being a 60 years old institute, BIT has an alumni network spread globally at Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon. One of the alumni even won Oscars recently for the best-animated movie.

BIT has great records in ICPC contests. The campus is amazing. Seniors are very helpful. The campus is ragging-free and poses an amazing infrastructure. IET, IEEE, ACM conducts various free workshops to enhance the skills of students.

MANIT Bhopal has an edge over BIT Mesra in terms of tuition fees. NITs are even regarded highly in terms of their brand name. This is the reason why BIT has a higher cutoff compared to NITs.

Is it really worth it to do CSE for a B.Tech from Bharath University?

SB
Sneha Bhargava Posted On : June 14th, 2021
Studied at Bharath University

No, as per my sister’s personal experience the placement reports are completely fake and only 20% of the students are recruited in very low-level industry packages. The campus remains closed for many months every year due to the strikes and fights on the campus.

These are the few problems faced by students frequently that hinder their growth and destroy the study environment due to which students cannot even concentrate completely on their curriculum.

Try to abstain from getting admission to Bharath University for any of the courses. Develop your overall personality by getting admission into some other decent college.

Which is better, CSE at Nirma University or at IIIT Vadodara?

SS
Samita Saha Posted On : June 30th, 2021
Studied Computer Science at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara (2020)

CSE at IIIT Vadodara is definitely a better option than CSE at Nirma University.

  • Nirma University offers Computer Engineering while IIT Vadodara offers CSE which draws a fine line of difference for the CSE aspirants.
  • IIIT Vadodara provides a distinguished course and curriculum. Students in other colleges are exposed only to mainstream engineering subjects. In contrast to them, IIIT Vadodara is parallel to that of IIIT-H, offering core courses from the beginning of the first year itself.
  • IIIT-V provides students with an exceptional background in coding which is not likely presented at Nirma. Students take part in competitive coding on sites such as HackerRank, CodeChef, etc. Each year several students get selected for GSoC from IIIT-V.
  • The faculty here is highly qualified with most of the professors holding Ph.D. degrees from renowned institutes. They are cooperative and provide proper guidance to the students. Daiict is the mentor institute of IIIT Vadodara. Many faculties pay their visit from Daiict.
  • The placement opportunities are decent at IIIT-V. Students get internship opportunities from Atos, TCS, etc.
  • In spite of not owning a permanent campus, the facilities provided at IIIT-V are satisfactory. The basic requirements such as proper AC labs and classrooms are fulfilled here.
  • IIIT-V is known for conducting regular technical workshops.
  • The hostel facilities at IIIT-V are better in comparison to other colleges.
  • More importance is given to academics due to which co-curricular activities are few.

The ‘IIIT’ tag has influence therefore opting for IIIT Vadodara would be better than opting for Nirma University.

Which is better CSE in Meghnad Saha Institute of Technology or IT in Heritage institute of technology?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : May 4th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

If you're considering pursuing an IT course at Heritage, you may have heard some negative feedback about the program. While it's true that IT may not be the strongest option at Heritage, there are still some reasons why it might be the best choice for you. Here are some points to consider:

  • Heritage has a well-established reputation for its academic programs, especially in the fields of engineering and computer science. This can be an advantage when it comes to finding job opportunities and building your professional network.
  • If you're interested in computer science but not sure which specialization to choose, starting with an IT program could be a good way to explore different areas before making a decision.
  • It's possible to switch to another stream after the first year if you're not satisfied with the IT program. By maintaining a GPA of 8.5 or above, you could transfer to the computer science engineering (CSE) program, which is one of Heritage's strongest programs.

If you're still unsure whether IT at Heritage is the right choice for you, here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Consider your long-term career goals and whether an IT degree from Heritage will help you achieve them. Research the job market in your desired field and see what qualifications and skills employers are looking for.
  • Look into the specific courses and faculty members in the IT program at Heritage to get a better sense of the curriculum and teaching quality. Talk to current students and alumni to hear their perspectives on the program.
  • Think about your personal interests and strengths. If you're passionate about a particular area of computer science or have a talent for programming, you may want to pursue a more specialized program that aligns with your strengths.

Ultimately, the decision to pursue an IT degree at Heritage is a personal one that depends on your individual circumstances and goals. While it may not be the best option for everyone, it could be a viable choice for those who are interested in exploring different areas of computer science or transferring to another program after the first year. Just remember to do your research and weigh your options carefully before making a final decision.

Which is better, IIT Dhanbad CSE or Thapar CSE?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : October 11th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

 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!
