Why is CSE at IIT Bombay the better option over CSE at IIT Kanpur?

AG
Aman Goenka Posted On : March 17th, 2023
B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IITB) (Graduated 2017)

When choosing between IIT Bombay and IIT Kanour for CSE, you must decide to go with IIT Bombay for the following reasons:

  • There are many students from Kanpur and near Kanpur who choose IIT Bombay because they want to live independently, and develop their personality.
  • Kanpur is not as developed as Mumbai, and choosing Kanpur will slow down your progress significantly in some or the other way.
  • IIT Bombay is a natural choice for top JEE rankers and if you speak to the seniors or alumni, everyone else will suggest that too. 
  • Comparing institutes is not a good idea, but comparing cities is important since you'll be spending about 4 years there. 
  • IIT Bombay has better placements, infrastructure, environment as well as faculties. 


Therefore, CSE at IIT Bombay is the better option over CSE at IIT Kanpur.

Why does BITS Pilani follow zero attendance?

PS
Prateek Sharma Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

The primary reason why BITS Pilani decided to follow the zero attendance rule was to imply that education cannot be forced and should be a result of individuals' own interests and passions. 

If someone is not willing to attend a particular class, he should be forced to do so because he will be attending it uninterested which defers the entire purpose of education. An uninterested student will affect the classroom ambiance and become a distraction for the faculty as well as interested individuals. 

Here are a few justified reasons why some students prefer skipping classes 

  • Students at BITS Pilani are responsible for organizing huge events like OASIS, BOSM, and APOGEE (Pilani Campus) that require a lot of time commitment making it difficult to attend classes. 
  • Additionally, some students are inclined towards research work rather than theoretical knowledge and thus prefer skipping classes. Forcing them to attend classes will hamper their development in the field of their interests. BITS Pilani believes in giving students the space to identify their interests and flourish within them. 
  • Students also prefer skipping classes because the speed of teaching is slow in the class and they prefer going through their friends' notes instead of spending 50 minutes. 

BITS Pilani has come up with this policy because it believes that forced education might hamper one’s growth.

I'm a student at IET Lucknow (IT Branch) & I'm appearing for JEE mains for my 3rd attempt. Shall I go for it?

HS
Harshit Sama Posted On : August 2nd, 2021
Studied at the Institute of Engineering and Technology, Lucknow

Yes definitely. If you are still familiar with your 11th and 12th subjects, you should attempt JEE Main. If you can prepare well and hope to get a good rank, you will go a long way.

There are many of my friends who attempted JEE Main and got a good rank and are now in top NITs. This will positively impact your mental and emotional health and grow your career graph.

If you cannot get a better college than IET then do not get disheartened. IET Lucknow is not a bad college. Students from this institute have shown their caliber in GATE, CAT, GRE, and many other competitive exams. Placements here have been low due to a lack of willingness among companies to visit the campus.

However, keep in mind that there is no harm in trying and if you make informed choices then you can achieve success.

As a parent what do I need to know about IISc Bangalore? My daughter is about to join there.

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : July 14th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

You must feel proud of your daughter for getting into IISc Bangalore. I can assure you that she will have a bright future. These are a few things I need you to know as the parent of an IISc student-

  1.  The first year is quite busy so she may not be able to call home as often as you would like her to. 
  2. She might leave the lab for the hostel as late as 1 AM or 2 AM sometimes, such is the nature of research work. However, the campus is safe and women are often spotted leaving the labs for the hostel at midnight.
  3. The food quality in the mess is good.
  4. You as a parent can visit your daughter and stay at the guest house of IISc Bangalore for a maximum of five days. You will have to pay a required amount on a per day, per person basis.
  5. To reach IISc Bangalore from the airport, take the airport bus number 10. Ask the conductor to drop you off at the Tata Institute’s Main Gate. This is the most economical way to reach IISc Bangalore from the airport.
  6. Always ask the bus conductor or auto driver to drop you off at the Tata Institute instead of IISc Bangalore.

These are a few tips and important points that I wanted to share with you.

How was your first day at IISc Bangalore?

SB
Saikat Banerjee Posted On : July 14th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (IISc)

I did my M.Tech in Materials Engineering from IISc Bangalore (2014-2016 batch). My first official day at IISc Bangalore was eventful and tiresome. 

I reached the faculty building early in the morning. All the necessary procedures for the day had to begin from there. I was happy because I thought that my good score would allow me to choose my hostel and mess. I had made up my mind to go for D Mess and NBH. 

When I reached the faculty office, I saw a long queue of students ahead of me. I got 125 in waiting. When my turn came, my documents were verified and after that, the mess and the hostel were to be allocated.

For this I had to visit the hostel office. I was so disappointed to find out that the hostels and mess were being allotted on the basis of the lottery system. I had the least faith in my luck. I ended up getting a hostel which was in the ‘last corner’ of IISc Bangalore (in P block). However, luckily, I got D Mess. 

Other than this incident, during my first official day at IISc Bangalore, I ended up meeting many new people and making friendships that would last a lifetime.

Is the CSE department in NIT Hamirpur worth it?

YV
Yash Verma Posted On : September 13th, 2023
B.Tech CSE, NIT Hamirpur (2019)

The CSE department at NIT Hamirpur has its own pros and cons. I have listed a few to answer your question 

Pros

  • The CSE department of NIT Hamirpur has some exceptionally good faculty members. Their teaching styles are unique. 
  • The curriculum of this department is one of the best. A few courses are so profound that CS students of this college have an upper hand when talking to other CS grads. 
  • Students are taught diverse courses like AI, Data Mining, Agent-Based Systems, OS, Networks, Advanced Architecture, etc 

Cons

  • The number of faculty members is low and the majority of them are not interested in teaching.
  • Not many CS companies visit the campus for placements and most companies from the IT sector visit.
  • Students aren’t offered any kind of industrial exposure.
  • There aren’t any student projects, and only bookish knowledge is given preference.

However, being a CSE student at NIT Hamirpur is certainly a privilege given the fact that they have the maximum free time and also the best placement record. 

So weigh the pros and cons against your own preferences and make a wise decision.
