Which is a better university: GITAM or Vignan?

SK
Shakuntala Kochiyil Posted On : September 9th, 2021
Studied Computer Science Engineering at Vignan University (2019)

Among GITAM and Vignan, the former is a better option. GITAM is far better than any private college in Andhra Pradesh. The course fee is high but the quality of education and the culture on campus make up for it. Along with theoretical knowledge, you will get to learn the practical aspects of each subject. 

The placement record for the institute is great. In 2021, the highest CTC offered in the placement drive was 19 LPA. 

If you are interested in CSE and have a flair for coding then GITAM will be the better option.

Which is better: PGDM or MBA from NMIMS?

DM
Deeksha Maurya Posted On : January 18th, 2022
B.Tech from SVKM's NMIMS (2020)

MBA and PGDM are more or less similar. The latter is considered to be a diploma and the former a degree. The Mumbai campus of NMIMS provides an MBA degree and a PGDM degree. 

If you pursue an MBA you will be studying more of the theoretical aspects of management. An MBA institute will be following a fixed curriculum as it will be based on the university guidelines.

If you are  pursuing a PGDM course you will be gaining knowledge regarding building soft skills and the programme is more industry-oriented. An autonomous institute does not have to follow university standards, so it is free to change its curriculum according to industry standards and change in the business environment. The course will prepare you for a senior level position in a company.

It is suggested that if you are willing to do business management, be it MBA or PGDM, consider only the Mumbai campus, as it has better placements and opportunities than Hyderabad or Bangalore.

I got 362 marks in BITSAT. Which is better, BITS, Pilani electrical or BITS, Goa CS?

AS
Arnav Singh Posted On : August 5th, 2021
Studied Integrated M.Sc Physics & Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science at BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa

Well, assuming that your 1st preference is CS at Pilani. EEE at Pilani is arguably one of the most difficult branches out there. Based on the conversations I had with my friends from both the BITS campus, here is what I can tell you about the courses.

  • You generally have to compete with the top students on the Campus. Also, the EEE course material is not everyone's cup of tea.
  • The EEE placements are quite good, though not for everyone. There are more high pointers in EEE than in any other branch. Thus good companies prefer to hire from among those.
  • Placements might be better for CS at Goa, though in some other respects you might sell yourself short with this choice.
Parameters&n BITS Goa BITS Pilani
Tuition Fee 3.99 lakhs 4.45 lakhs
Placement Average 94% 95%
Average CTC INR 5 LPA INR 18.05 LPA
Highest CTC INR 1.40 Cr INR 45 LPA

So, if you want an easy life, better go for CS in Goa. Otherwise, choose EEE at Pilani.

Which is better: An integrated five years course into DM neurology (NIMHANS) or completing my MD in general medicine and then specializing in DM neurology?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : September 30th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

In my opinion, it’s best to complete an MD in medicine first rather than pursuing DM Neuro directly after MBBS. 

It is so because M.B.B.S. students receive minimal clinical exposure and therefore their interest in a particular field might not be genuine. They might later regret their choice. 

An integrated program is a 5-year program that requires a lot of commitment. So, if you go for a field you are not interested in, you will be wasting 5 years of your life. Even if you are sure of your interest in neurology, you may not actually like it when you start working. That being said, it's better that you do MD in medicine, have first-hand exposure to all the specialties, and then choose one for you. 

People often choose integrated courses so as to save one year of education. However, they fail to recognize the risks involved. 

Ultimately, unless you love neurology passionately and have enough exposure in the same, go for direct DM, else completing MD would be the safest bet.

If you're considering pursuing a Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) program in India, you might be interested in comparing the offerings of different institutions. If you're wondering which one of these options, Jaypee Noida (sector-62) or UIET, Chandigarh (Panjab University) might be better for you, here are some reasons why Jaypee Noida might be a good choice:

What is the difference between JNTUH and JNTUH CEH?

RD
Raashi Dey Posted On : September 3rd, 2021
Studied at Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (2019)

Having to know some people studying in both these institutions, I can state some details about the colleges I got to know from them. There are some key differences between JNTUH and JNTUH CEH. 

JNTUH stands for Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad whereas JNTUH CEH stands for Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad- College of Engineering.

  • JNTUH is an autonomous university and just like any other university, it follows its rules. 
  • They also update their courses regularly as per the needs of the students. 
  • JNTUH CEH is an autonomous college referred to as University College by most students. 
  • JNTUH CEH is mainly for technical branches and studies related to it. 
  • The University College is under the management and jurisdiction of JUNUH. 
  • Jawaharlal Nehru University provides affiliation to various other Engineering and Pharmacy Institutions.

Also the JNTU- H is commonly used to differentiate between the main and the sister universities like JNTUK is for Kakinada, JNTUA is for Anantapur. It is differentiated by the post letter after the main institute’s name.

Which option is better and why: IEM at Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering or TC at Sir MVIT?

SG
Suchitra Ghose Posted On : September 2nd, 2021
Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, Bangalore

It all depends upon your interest and future perspective. Choose Telecommunication Engineering or IEM based on your interest. 

IEM is a combination of mechanical engineering, product engineering, and management studies, so if you want to gain hands-on experience in management studies and see the future perspective in the same field, then IEM is one of the best fields to pursue. Also, IEM subjects are easier compared to Telecommunication. IEM becomes more theory-oriented towards the 3rd semester. 

Now regarding colleges, VTU affiliated colleges are good to pursue your higher studies and the teaching levels are the same in all the colleges. Also, the placements are quite decent in these colleges.
