Should I leave NITK Surathkal CS for IIT Gandhinagar CS? I've finished my 1st year from NITK.
You should go to IIT Gandhinagar. That being said, if you have obtained the CSE degree course at Gandhinagar, then the most probable rank you ought to have is under 1800, since the closing rank is around 1800–1900. In that case, you can opt to go for other old IITs’ by compromising with the branch. You will get far better students at old IITs, which can be a plus side to your personal development and further enhancement.
For the most part, the problem with the new IITs is that they lack to provide a greater established alumni network and good infrastructure. However, since IIT Gandhinagar was established back in 2008, you can expect decent infrastructure and facilities.
What is it like to study CS in NERIST?
CSE in NERIST is not a great option in terms of money and time. As one of my friends studied there, here’s what I got to know about it:
- The syllabus hasn’t been updated to the latest needs.
- Some of the professors have no teaching experience. They are more focused on students mugging up rather than learning.
- You will be taught languages that are no longer properly working in the industry.
- The labs here are messy and no the library is too small to accommodate a large group of students.
- The local Arunchali students tend to boss around and threaten everyone.
- The non local teachers also fear the local students and hence they give them better marks, to avoid the commotion.
| Categories | CS at NERIST |
| Course Fee | 22,300 |
| Highest CTC | 10 LPA |
| Average CTC | 3.3 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Godrej, Infosys, Sony, GAIL, etc. |
Moreover, the environment is not academic-friendly. The placements earlier were very bad but have improved eventually. CS has few such good teachers who really care about their students and how much they are actually learning.
Should I take CSE in UIET CSJM Kanpur or drop?
You should choose the branch as per your choice and interest. It would be advised to not choose CSE just because it is the highest-paid.
Secondly, if you are pursuing CSE, you will need a laptop with a good internet connection. You cannot always be dependent on labs. You can also join online courses offered by CODING BLOCK, CODING NINJAS, EDx, MIT, and many other MOOCs to get good at programming.
It is not necessary to always look for a brand tag if you really believe in yourself especially when you are studying CSE. Placement opportunities are available in reputed companies such as Google, Amazon, and many more by your skills in the definite field.
Which is better, IIT Delhi Textile Technology or NIT Delhi CSE (considering I have a very high interest in programming)?
Both institutes are well known for their excellent education and opportunities offered. So you can choose the branch and college on the basis of your own preferences. However, some points you might want or consider
Campus: NIT Delhi operates from a temporary campus which is located far away from the country and its permanent campus is still under construction. IIT Delhi on the other hand is a fully-fledged established Institute with a fully functioning well facilitated campus.
Placements: Although Textile Engineering has very few core job opportunities, people tend to go for non-core jobs instead to secure a high-paying job at a top company. Meanwhile, NIT Delhi being younger than IIT Delhi has fewer companies visiting campus with CS roles despite being a demanded branch.
If you are actually keen to pursue CSE, go for better Engineering colleges like NITs, DTU, NSIT, and IIIT D. In fact even at IIT Delhi, you can pursue your coding passion alongside your main branch textile and sit for IT placements. The final decision is yours to make and you can consider additional aspects like fees, location, and academics while making your decision.
Which option should I choose, Jadavpur University CSE or NIT Durgapur CSE?
Here are some key points about both colleges which will help you in your decision-making-
- Campus Life- The campus life at NIT Durgapur is much better. You’ll get ample freedom to play sports, to party, etc. You can do everything on campus, at all hours. The senior-junior and peer-to-peer bonding is great over here. There is relatively more cultural diversity in the NIT Durgapur campus.
- Academics- The CSE department of NIT Durgapur isn’t good. If you are serious about academics and quality education, NIT Durgapur CSE isn’t a good choice. The quality of research is very poor, apart from the DST-FIST project. Have a look at the faculty profile of both institutions to get a clearer picture.
- Placements - On ground level, CSE placements are better at JU. For a smaller number of students, it receives the same number of companies during campus placements. Also, bigshots offering high packages visit the JU campus exclusively.
- Startups - NIT Durgapur doesn’t provide many opportunities for startups/entrepreneurship.
- Higher studies - Both are at par if you wish to pursue higher studies in India. However, for foreign colleges/universities, an NIT tag will be more advantageous.
- ROI- The ROI for JU is much higher. This is because its tuition fees are much more affordable.
According to me, a CSE from Jadavpur University is a better option.
Is it better to take CSE at NIT Surathkal or mechanical engineering at IIT-KGP?
The answer to this question depends mainly on your interest. Mechanical and CSE are diverse branches with diverse scopes. You need to analyze your own inclination only then can you make a sound decision. If you aren’t sure if the branch you can decide based on your future goals.
- If you want to land a job right after graduation that too a decent package, choose CSE over Mechanical because that branch has more job opportunities.
- If you are planning to pursue higher studies, especially in Physics-related courses, choose Mechanical. The branch is very intriguing and opens many doors to higher studies.
- If you value colleges over branches then choose IIT KGP as it’s way ahead of NIT Surathkal.
Lastly, I will advise you to opt for Mechanical only in first and second-generation IITs. So you can opt for NIT Surathkal or Trichy over third-generation IITs but not over first and second-generation IITs. Hope this clears my point.
How is CSE in NIT Delhi compared to CSE in PEC?
I will advise you not to compare colleges solely on the basis of rankings and placements because these are too trivial criteria to be considered while choosing your college. One must look at the bigger picture. NIT Delhi, despite being a new institute, has already laid its strong foundation and you can expect excellent placements in the near future.
Here are a few highlights of the institute:
- Placements: NIT Delhi has an active placement cell that ensures that every student has at least one offer by the end of the placement drive.
- Campus: The campus has limited facilities but provides enough facilities to ensure good quality education. Students have access to wifi facilities 24/7.
- Ranking: Don’t let the low rankings mislead you. These ranking bodies consider criteria like campus, branches, alumni, etc which NIT Delhi definitely lacks in because it's new.
Overall, NIT Delhi offers good quality education and a NIT tag that will up your game in higher education.
What questions are asked in a personal interview for admission in Sharda University for a B.Tech in CSE?
Sharda University's interview for a BTech will start with an introduction round. You will be asked to introduce yourself. There may be some basic questions on what you have studied in 10+2. The questions asked aren’t too difficult. They ask questions such as - ‘What is Molality?’ ‘State Gauss Law.’ The interview usually takes around 15-20 mins.
Which is better: IT at IIIT Allahabad or CSE at BIT Mesra?
One of my friends chose CSE at BIT Mesra over IT at IIIT Allahabad. However, he regretted his decision and after a month, got admission into IIIT Allahabad IT through the CSAB spot round.
BIT Mesra has a huge campus, however, its student intake is much higher as compared to IIIT Allahabad. Even in terms of location, Allahabad is a better choice than Mesra.
In terms of placements, the average package for BIT CSE stood at INR 19.27 LPA 2022. At IIIT Allahabad, the average package for B.Tech stood at INR 30.68 LPA during the same year.
The course fee is also much more affordable at IIIT Allahabad. The total course fee for B.Tech IT from IIIT Allahabad is INR 8,44,700, while at BIT, the B.Tech CSE course fee is INR 13,04,500 (does not include the hostel fees at both).
Thus, I would suggest you choose IT at IIIT Allahabad over CSE at BIT Mesra.
Who is the best professor in CSE department, MNNIT Allahabad and why?
MNIT has had quite a few good teachers over the years but some of them have really resonated with the students to leave an everlasting impact on our minds. Some of the most reputed teachers of the institute according to student reviews are as follows.
- Ranvijay Singh: Professor Singh has a really thorough knowledge of his subjects and one of the few teachers who deeply care for their students. You can also approach him for extra classes in case of any difficulties even if it is not his subject. He is also great at career advice and a teacher who just wants to genuinely help and is truly one of the best teachers of CSED.
- Neeraj Tyagi: Professor Tyagi was quite instrumental in developing my friend’s interest in networking. In my friend’s batch, he did not teach this subject but did so for IT. He was also fortunate enough to get to work with Tyagi sir and completed quite a few projects under his guidance. One of these included FTP quota on server accounts. He is open to learning new ideas and keeping himself updated, discussing things, quite accessible, and a humble teacher.
- BD Chaudhary: It is quite possible that professor Chaudhary has retired now but he used to teach databases. His classes were miles apart from other teachers. He was a professional at teaching, much like an IIT professor, and would make you understand even the minute details of the subject. You would never feel like missing his lecture. His test papers were also quite different where he set a single 100 mark question for the half-yearly exam. He would instill the hunger for learning in students.
These were some of the teachers that made college memorable for a few of my friends. You can hope to see a few of them taking your classes too.
