What is your review for MVJ College of Engineering for information science?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : December 15th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

According to me, the Information Science and Engineering program at MVJCE Bangalore is good. This is my opinion not because I have completed the same degree from this college, but because I have friends who’ve been to other colleges for the same (or similar) course.

The curriculum at MVJCE is similar to other engineering colleges, but there are certain advantages to pursuing Information Science from there. The department faculty is not only highly educated, but skilled in teaching as well. They were always very supportive, and made us understand the practical applications of each and every concept.

Apart from that, the college placement cell also does a decent job. It was particularly my teachers whose support enabled me to grab a well paying job during campus placements.

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : March 22nd, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Honestly speaking, both Thapar University and Manipal University are reputable institutions for a B.Tech in computer science. So the decision on which one is better for you ultimately depends on your personal preferences and priorities. is 

Thapar University is a highly esteemed, private engineering and technology university located in Patiala, India. Known for its strong academic programs and rich research culture in computer science, this university has it all. Additionally, it offers a range of student services, including career counseling and internships.

Manipal University, on the other hand, is a private university located in Manipal, India. It is one of the oldest and most established universities in the country and is known for its iRobot programs in CSE. The university has a number of student-driven bodies that promote extracurricular activities.

Some factors to consider while choosing between the two include 

  • Proximity to hometown
  • campus life
  • Fees and other expenses 
  • CSE Program offered

Both the colleges are almost similar in all aspects. So what actually matters is that if you live in the North, choose Thapar but if you are from the south choose Manipal. Both universities have the same fee and both are equally reputed private colleges after BITS. So I would suggest that whichever college is near your hometown go for it.

Ultimately, both universities are highly esteemed institutions and either one would be a decent choice for a B.Tech in computer science.

Which is better, VNIT for metallurgy or NIT Raipur for IT?

KM
Kaushal Madnani Posted On : April 15th, 2021
VNIT, Graduated 2019

One of my acquaintances who has graduated from VNIT has asked me to choose my institute by keeping the following points in mind.

  • VNIT for metallurgy would be a suitable choice for you if you don’t have a particular liking. Apart from that, the metallurgy of VNIT holds an enviable position in India. The syllabus for metallurgy is vast and involves a lot of memorization.
  • If you want CS and unfortunately end up not getting it, the next logical step would be to choose IT. The syllabus of IT and CS are almost the same. In the big picture, it will have little importance if you complete your B.Tech from VNIT or NIT Raipur. You will have a degree and you will not regret the decision you made.

IT has a lot of scopes. Later down the road, if you want to continue with your higher studies, you will be capable of switching to almost any department pertaining to computers. IT from NIT Raipur is an excellent choice.

The scope in the metallurgy sector is limited nowadays. It is obviously your call, though. There is vast scope in IT like research, job, etc.

Is there a uniform for BE students in Thapar University?

RS
Ritu Singh Posted On : August 10th, 2021
Studied at Delhi University (2019)

Some of my friends studied at Thapar University. According to them there's definitely no uniforms in Thapar University. 

  • However, the first year students who have a 'khaki dress' will have to wear it for workshops. 
  • This is compulsory not only for BE but the rest of the branches as well.
  • As an omnipresent rule for science programs, you'll have to wear a white coat/lab coat for some M.Sc. projects or practicals.
  • No need to worry about it being a daily state of affairs. 
  • At times you'll have to show unity with a uniform as well, such as to affirm your stand for cultures through the Saturnalia and for technical stuff through Aranya. 
  • These fests include modelling shows and you might want to join in and showcase your skills. 

A uniform might be needed for these. Sometimes a faculty member might ask you to be in formals, they do expect that, but no restrictions as such.
