One of my friends studied at Acharya Nagarjuna University. He completed his B.Tech in ECE. According to him, the college overall was really good and benefited him in many ways. He mentions that like every other college it also has its fair share of pros and cons.
Pros:
Cons:
After completing B.Tech from Acharya Nagarjuna University, you will learn a lot about yourself and how to function in a professional environment. They may lack proper placement offers but they will build you up so you can face any interview and secure a job offer.
You will be asked fundamental STEM questions. The difficulty level will be basic to moderate in general. Sometimes they ask hard questions too like curve tracing in Mathematics. Prepare Mathematics fundamentals, Physics basics, Current affairs, and GK in depth.
You should also keep in mind that a good interview doesn’t guarantee your selections. There are other factors at play, such as Written Test Performance, Reservation Quota, etc.
My friend is an NIT Jalandhar pass out so I can speak about that only. She regretted getting admission into NIT Jalandhar. She faced some serious problems
Faculty: The professors were below average in their teaching methods. Most lacked the basic knowledge and just read out from books. Moreover, if you don’t win their favor you get fewer marks in assignments. This affects your overall CGPA.
Crowd: It will be hard to find a diverse crowd here as most of the students hail from Punjab itself. Even their language is common within the campus.
Placements: Talking specifically about Mechanical Engineering placements, the condition is pretty bad. The average package this year was INR 7.87 LPA while the highest CTC was just INR 8.4 LPA.
Hostels: The first and second-year hostels do not have Wi-Fi connections which is a major drawback. Hostels 3-7 are also averagely built. Mega Hostels have better facilities in comparison to other hostels at NIT Jalandhar.
These are some shortcomings of NIT Jalandhar which might affect your overall experience. You can research the same for NIT Rourkela and make a comparison. In case NIT Rourkela is even worse, then NIT Jalandhar is your last option.
HPTU has its own popularity from some of the colleges under its name. All the colleges are not up to the mark when certain things like Faculty, placement, infrastructure, or alumni are considered.
On the other hand, Chandigarh University (CU) holds a great reputation. It has great placement records in North India. So it is recommended that among the two opt for CU as it will prove to be beneficial to your career.
Yes, a B.Tech degree from Karnataka State Open University (KSOU) is acceptable to foreign universities. As KSOU is recognized by UGC and the degree is valid for applying to foreign universities.
But, various countries have different rules and regulations, criteria, etc. for the recognition of universities. Most of the popular foreign universities have certain standards. Therefore, your statement of purpose, your academic record, your age, financial status, etc. will play an important role in the final admission.
Banasthali University is a better option for pursuing a B.Tech. It is especially good for branches related to Computer Science. Most of the faculty members are well-experienced. The curriculum is such that you will mostly get surface-level knowledge. If you want to learn a subject in detail, then you will need to self-study.
The placements are good. The recent highlights of Banasthali University placement show the average and highest CTC to be INR 3.60 LPA, and INR 5.20 LPA, respectively.
Considering LPU’s recognition, faculty, and placement opportunities, it’s a good option for B.Tech.
IIT BHU has one of the best BTech programs amongst other engineering institutions in the country. The BTech course from the IIT BHU in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, is a full-time program of four years, with eight semester exams, and two semesters per year.
