Which is better, IIT Roorkee CS or IIT Delhi mathematics and computing (4 years)?

SG
Sushmita Gupta Posted On : April 3rd, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

Both programs are equally good in their respective fields and so are the institutions offering the programs. It’s important to consider what you expect from the program and what you plan to achieve after graduation to make the right choice.

My sister was in a similar dilemma as yours and eventually, she opted for MCA from IIT Delhi.This program has many courses similar to CS but the only problem is, the pedagogy adopted has a more theoretical approach than practical. Moreover, at some point, you will start questioning the parity of the faculty and will have to resort to self-study.

But here is the bright side, most companies coming for CS placements consider MCA students too, and offer decent roles.

Although I am not well aware of the situation in Roorkee, I can guarantee a true coding lover will prefer CS to MCA any day.

How hard is it to survive at KIIT?

MG
Mridul Ghose Posted On : July 25th, 2023
B.Tech from Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (2021)

Survival at KIIT can be judged on the basis of many criteria such as hostel life, campus life, or academics. Consider the following  

Initially,  the hostel life at KIIT is 6/10 in terms of hardship for survival. In the starting, you have to be punctual and check in at the hostel on time. But once the fresher party is done, you live a considerably free hostel life. There are no major restrictions and every query is taken care of at the reception area.

Campus life: KIIT has one of the most dynamic and vibrant campus life. You don’t have to follow many rules and are a free bird here. A number of societies promote extracurricular activities so make sure to enroll and pursue your passion.

Academic life: The difficulty of academic life varies from individual to individual but on average, it can be rated as 4/10. Attending classes regularly and doing frequent revisions can help you score good marks without any extra effort.

Exams: Sadly, KIIT does not conduct very challenging exams and you can score good marks just by solving the previous year's papers and attending classes regularly.

Lab sessions: The lab sessions are very easy provided that you are interested in them. 

So, it can be safely concluded that it’s pretty easy to survive at KIIT. All you need is a positive and consistent attitude.

Every coin has two sides. Similarly the institute NIT Jalandhar has both pros and cons. 

Pros-

  • Friendly ambiance. Seniors are there for support. Ragging is strictly prohibited 

  • The mess food is usually Punjabi and quite delicious 

  • Alot of emphasis is placed on extracurricular activities. There are various clubs like LADS, MADS etc. Various cultural events are also held.

  • The seniors here are literal genius and interactions with them is very beneficial 

  • Placement opportunities are pretty good at every branch

  • Proper hygiene facilities and lush green infrastructure add to its ambiance. New lecture halls and departments are under construction.

  • Great exposure through technical and cultural events Techniti and Utkansh

  • New short term courses are launched under GIAN (Global Initiative of Academic Networks )

  • International workshops and conferences that are held frequently help you gain a lot of experience

Cons-

  • The quality of faculty here is below average. They focus more on bookish knowledge than a broader practical approach.

  • Technical events resemble cultural events

  • No assistance is provided for training.

  • Marks matter more than general excellence. Everyone is in a war to secure the highest CGPA.

  • The 75% attendance rule works against the favour of many students.

So we can say that the merits overshadow the demerits to a great extent. In fact every NIT has similar cons which are almost uncontrollable. So just be a great learner and focus on your own betterment.

Which is considered better for doing an MTech (CS): IISC, Bangalore or IIT, Bombay?

MT
Mayank Trivedi Posted On : March 20th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (IISc)

In my opinion, IISc Bangalore is a way better option than IIT Bombay mainly because it offers core engineering in computer science e.g. Linux Kernel Programming. It is true computer engineering. It helps you understand the science of Computer Engineering and develop a strong grasp of it.

Any science be it Computer Science or any other is solely based on concepts and implementation of these concepts is quite difficult. An extensive knowledge of Computer Science doesn’t necessarily ensure great Computer engineering skills. But it’s true vice versa. So by going for IISC, one is surely choosing the path of excellence through the very foundation of Computer Science.

IIT Bombay is a brand that is known nationwide whereas IISc is known globally mainly because of its focus on core and complex concepts in Computer Science. Moreover the quality and quality of papers submitted by IISc is much more than IIT Bombay and this already reflects how successful it is going to become in the future.

Why is IIM Kashipur the least preferred IIM among the new ones?

SM
Shivansh Mishra Posted On : January 5th, 2023
B.Tech in Computer Science, IGIT, Sarang, Odisha (Graduated 2022)

Honestly, I wouldn’t call IIM Kashipur the least preferred but the most underrated IIM. It’s at par with all the IIMs with respect to placements, infrastructure, faculty, student-teacher ratio, and rigor. Yet it’s highly underestimated owing to its single disadvantage of location.

IIMs welcome students from all over India. But the students from South or North-East India find it rather difficult to first travel to Delhi and then travel by Road or Rail to Kashipur. They prefer their comfort over anything.

The other reason is that most IIMs have been able to establish a uniqueness about themselves. IIM Kashipur lacks in this aspect. IIM Rohtak is the oldest and closest to NCR, IIM Udaipur attracts students based on MHRD ratings, IIM Trichy made itself known as a CFA Recognised Institute under the Institute University Recognition Programme and IIM Ranchi has the best placement opportunities. IIM Kashipur has failed to market itself on a particular aspect and thus is underestimated.

Can one get admission into NIT Calicut via the Kerala State Entrance Exam (KEAM)?

SS
Shubhi Sharma Posted On : August 20th, 2021
B.Tech from Chandigarh University (2020)

No, you will not get admission to NIT Calicut with your KEAM score. Because NITs and IITs are institutes of national importance, admission is done through National level entrance examinations rather than regional entrance tests. For admission into NITs, the score of JEE(Main) is considered, whereas, for IITs, the score of JEE(advanced) is considered.

Students who completed their XI and XII exams outside of India can apply for DASA seats using their SAT Subject Test scores, and they can also apply for a scholarship through the CIWG scheme, which reduces their tuition to that of JEE students.

How is IITK (IIT Kanpur) different from IITB (IIT Bombay)?

VS
Vijay Sarnaik Posted On : March 18th, 2023
Studied at IIT Kanpur
IIT Kanpur and IIT Bombay are the top 2 IITs in India with IIT Kanpur giving an edge to IIT Bombay. The only aspect of IIT Bombay that is better than IIT Kanpur is its metropolitan location. In almost every other aspect, IIT Kanpur is way ahead.

  • After IITKGP, IIT Kanpur has the biggest campus in India, approximately 1100 Acres. IIT Bombay on the other hand is half the size of IIT Kanpur around 560 Acres.
  • IIT Kanpur is the only institute in India to have its own Airstrip, Hangar, Glider pilot licensing system, and National Wind Tunnel Facility.
  • The huge Open Air Theatre has the capacity to accommodate 3000 people at a time.
  • World-class sports facilities.
  • The problems of the students are catered to by the largest counseling service.

IIT Kanpur and IIT Bombay are not even comparable given the advantages IIT Kanpur has over IITB.

Which is better, NMIMS or IIT Mumbai for an MBA?

VA
Vivek Agarwal Posted On : February 27th, 2023
PGDM from T. A. Pai Management Institute (2019)

No doubt all the institutes you mentioned are excellent in their respective standards and fields. But the primary element that should be stressed before choosing a college is what kind of MBA you are looking for. You should determine the specialization you are willing to go for, the kind of curriculum and crowd you are expecting, and various other factors.

You need to keep in mind that an MBA degree will pose just as a stepping stone to success and cannot guarantee your success. The ultimate determining factor is the level of knowledge you gain and how you perform throughout.

All the Institutes you mentioned are top-notch and are globally recognized knowledge hubs. You cannot make a choice just on the basis of your preference. You will have to work tremendously hard to make it into these esteemed institutes.
