Is PEC Chandigarh really degrading year by year, and how is the faculty for CSE and its placement for CSE?
A news article was published in 2018 which assured that there are a lot of chances that PEC shall be converted into IIT very soon.
Firstly, PEC is part of the University of Punjab. If it is converted into IIT, then it has to be turned into an autonomous institute first, which has not started yet. There is still not any confirmation regarding the conversion of PEC into IIT. It is a huge thing and these type of topics generally goes through a lot of controversies.
If you are taking admission in PEC thinking that you will get a degree from IIT, then you are completely wrong. You will get a degree with a tag of PEC.
It will be better if you stop thinking about the IIT factor. This institute itself a reputed one and provides amazing placements to every one of its students. So, you must be focused on your hard work, career and future career perspectives without thinking about PEC is transformed into IIT.
What should I choose between IIT BHU CSE and IIT Guwahati Maths and Computing?
Both IIT BHU CSE and IIT Guwahati MnC are excellent options and the choice of the branch is a personal matter depending on the candidate's preferences rather than the credibility of the branch. Here are a few parameters on which we can draw a general comparison between the two courses.
- Course structure: IIT Guwahati’s MnC program has a well-structured curriculum with the perfect blend of Computer Science, finance, and Mathematics courses. By the end of the program, you will be eligible to sit for software as well as finance placements. IIT BHU CSE too is known for its flexible course structure with a plethora of electives to choose from.
- Coding culture: Undoubtedly, IITBHU has a better coding culture than IIT Guwahati. The ambiance is quite competitive at BHU if that’s what you are after. However, MnC too is gaining popularity and the decreasing opening rank can be seen as a proof of the same.
- Peer group: High JEE rankers prefer IIT Guwahati over IIT BHU and thus the peer group of IIT Guwahati is more refined and superior in quality.
- Campus and student life: IIT Guwahati has an amazing campus and its students get to live a very dynamic and lively college life. IIT-BHU’s campus on the other hand is underdeveloped and you can also find student politics here. IIT Guwahati is the best choice for nature lovers who like solace and peace while IIT BHU is for those who want to experience city life as well.
- Student life: Both institutes have great clubs and activities to promote the holistic development of students. Students are allotted single rooms right from the first year at IIT Guwahati which is different from IIT BHU. Mess food is better at BHU. IIT Guwahati is a clear winner in sports, cultural and technical clubs, etc.
- Placements: Both institutes have equally good placement scenarios with major recruiters like Microsoft, Google, Tower Research, Flipkart, etc. visiting both these campuses. CS and MnC students receive similar placement offers and in fact, being in MnC makes you eligible for both finance as well as software jobs.
Both the institutes and branches have their own strengths and weaknesses and the final decision should be based on what you want from your degree. If it’s a competitive environment you are after, go for IIT BHU, while if it’s a rich college life experience you want, then IIT Guwahati is your destination.
How’s the placements for COE in Thapar University?
COE placements in Thapar University are decent and numerous opportunities are offered to its students. The reality is, the quality of roles and packages also depends largely on the profiles of the students and their skills. Many reputed firms like Microsoft IDE, Amazon, and Maruti visit the campus every year and offer lucrative packages to skilled students. Work Applications, a Japanese company offered a package of INR 30 LPA in the past. Many such offers are made.
Many students resort to off-campus placements and end up with high packages. The reason is that the campus placements do not allow some startups because they aren't sure of their credibility. These startups offer huge packages to students in off-campus placemats.
If you want to get placed as a COE student at Thapar University check the following points
- Learn Coding
- Create something unique
- Contribute to open source projects
- Conduct qualitative research and publish a few papers
- Participate in online coding competitions.
I will highly recommend you go for off-campus placements in Google, Microsoft Research, Oracle, Rubric, Tower Research, etc.
Are new IITs (Tirupati and pallakad) good for CSE?
I belong to the first CSE batch of IIT Tirupati. We had it rough because of no senior guidance, and a sense of helplessness. But having said that, CSE is all about self effort and dedication. Whatever college you choose, you’ll feel a bit clueless till about your 3rd semester. But to get through, you need dedication and patience.
Now coming to your answer, IIT Tirupati is a good choice for CSE. You should consider this college if you couldn’t get into CSE at the old IITs. The reasons for this are-
- Some of the excellent faculty of IIT Madras still take a few core courses at IIT Tirupati.
- The CSE lab is well-equipped and Air Conditioned.
- The college library remains open till 9 pm.
- The hostels are quite nice.
Regardless of the IIT, it is your own efforts and the guidance of your mentors that will lead you towards success in any field.
Which is better for CSE, IIT Gandhinagar or IIT Ropar?
When it comes to IITs it’s not really easy to compare them especially when these both are of the same generation.
However, if you still need to compare it is important for you to understand that an undergraduate degree is more of an exploration to discover your passion and interest. This hypothesis has been vetted by a large number of IIT graduates, IIM graduates, and many professors and IIT alums.
