Which is better, thermal in NIT Trichy or design in NIT Warangal as per placements and package?

SS
Shivani Singh Posted On : August 30th, 2021
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Warangal (2019)

Having known some people who graduated from NIT Trichy and NIT Warangal I can say that there is no demand for either of these two subjects in the industry.

Both the colleges are of similar reputation in the industry, hence choose the one that suits your location. This will ease your transportation. 

  • The students of these institutes opt for CSE, learn programming languages from scratch, willing to be computer engineers in the future.
  • They are offered salary packages ranging from 12-24 LPA, depending on their skills.
  • Sometimes it rises up to 50 LPA.
  • These companies not only check academic credentials but also their TopCoder and GitHub profiles.
  • Some even opt to be managers, their jobs demand and value academic credentials.
  • They receive salary packages ranging from 15-18 LPA.

The placements at both colleges are good. Make a calculative decision considering the field you are interested in.

Should I choose mechanical or civil engineering?

SA
Saransh Agarwal Posted On : February 22nd, 2022
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering & Cars and Automobiles, Sikkim Manipal University (2016)

Mechanical and Civil Engineering are core branches of engineering and both offer good future prospects. You should choose one according to your interest. 

  • Both Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering require good knowledge of Applied and Material Physics. If you are interested in Physics, you should consider other branches of engineering. 
  • Even though the base of these branches is Physics, the syllabus differs widely. So you should take a look at the syllabus for both branches before choosing one. 
  • Talk to the people who are currently working in these domains and get to know what exactly they are doing. This can help you a lot to select the right course for you.
  • It will be better if you take a look at the M.Tech syllabuses for both branches as well. This will clear your vision in case you want to pursue higher studies in the future.
  • You will get decent job opportunities from either of these branches. There are govt sector jobs as well as the private sector. 

So, factor in all these points and see what interests you more.

How would you rank the IIITs? Should I prefer IIIT Allahabad or NIT Rourkela?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : August 18th, 2023

IIIT Hyderabad and IIIT Ahmedabad are the best IIITs and have similar ages. IIIT Hyderabad fairs are better than IIIT Ahmedabad in terms of its coding culture and the kind of job opportunities it provides. 

IIIT Hyderabad students must work extra hard and wake up very early for PT. The institute has a record of attracting a better crowd because a lot accepts only top rankers of JEE Main. One of the drawbacks of the institute is that it’s private and therefore charges hefty fees while IIIT Ahmedabad is a government college so it charges lesser fees. 

IIIT Ahmedabad has a bit flexible campus life quite similar to other government colleges like IIT and NITs. Additionally, it also has a rich coding culture with amazing job opportunities.

I don’t find any major differences in the curriculum, campus life, and placement scenario of both the institutes so choose the one that aligns with your preferences. As for choosing one between IIIT Allahabad and NIT Rourkela, go for the former without any second thoughts. IIITs are best suited for coding lovers and people passionate about computers. So if you are one of them, go for any IIIT between these two!

How can we compare KJ Somaiya to DJ Sanghvi and VIT, Pune?

JB
Jiya Banerjee Posted On : September 2nd, 2021
Bachelor of Engineering Computer Science Engineering, Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi College of Engineering (2020)

I can give you information about KJ Somaiya and DJ Sanghvi since I have friends from these institutes. 

  • If you are inclined towards an autonomous university, then KJ Somaiya would be a better choice. Apart from that, you can choose either institute based on how close it is to your location.
  • Both the institutes share almost the same placement records. Here is a brief highlight of the same. 
Institutes KJ Somaiya DJ Sanghvi
Highest Salary Package INR 29.75 LPA INR 20.38 LPA
Average Salary Package INR 9.4 LPA INR 6.60 LPA
Top Recruiting Firms Cognizant, FedEx, Amazon, ITC, DE Shaw, Zolo Stays, PwC, Accenture J.P Morgan, Adobe, Morgan Stanley, Reliance Industries Ltd., MU Sigma
  • DJ Sanghvi has a 50% Gujarati minority, exactly like KJ Somaiya, which means students of the same location have pretty high chances of being shortlisted. 
  • The cut-off, however, is relevant in both institutes. You need to obtain scores above average in order to get shortlisted. 
  • The campus life at KJ Somaiya is one of the best you will encounter, unlike many others.

DJ Sanghvi and KJ Somaiya offer similar opportunities to the students. However, KJ Somiya offers a better campus life and more academic freedom.

Is it a better choice for choosing FMS Delhi over IIM A or IIM B when compared to placement salary?

PM
Pranab Singh Malik Posted On : January 10th, 2023
Studied at the Faculty of Management Studies, the University of Delhi

There is no question at all if you are optimising for salary in the short term. On average, you would earn more at IIM Ahmedabad and Bangalore than at FMS. In the long run, it will be much more dependent on you and a little bit on the profile you want to work in. However, ceteris paribus and on average IIM Ahmedabad or IIM Bangalore will earn more or as much as an FMS grad. Choose A or B if you want to maximise your placement salary.

Whether you should optimise for placement salary is a different question, and the answer depends on what you want to do with your life.

Is PES University No.1 or RVCE?

MP
Mahima Punia Posted On : May 25th, 2021
studied Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering at PES University (2019)

According to the NIRF 2020 rankings, RV College was ranked 70th in India. On the other hand, PES University was ranked at the 93rd position. Both of these colleges are having a good placement record. 

The different categories based on which we can compare the two colleges are listed below:

Placements: 

PES University Placement drives offered 1185 job offers last year and placed 605 UG & 31 PG students in reputed companies. The highest CTC of INR 49.75 LPA was offered to one of the B.Tech students. The average salary comes out to be around INR 6 to 6.5 Lakhs per annum for both the UG and PG Students. The top recruiters that visit the campus include:

Microsoft

Cisco

Accenture

Oracle

Adobe

Wipro

Honeywell

Cognizant

HP

Flipkart

IBM

Nvidia

For RVCE, the highest salary package offered last year was INR 49.75 Lakhs per annum as per the college’s website. 967 offers have been made in the year 2021 and 183 companies have visited the campus as of April 2021. The Companies that visit the campus almost every year include:

PayPal

Flipkart

Infosys

Intel Technology

Intuit

GENPACT

Deltax

Amazon

Linkedin

Deloitte

Ericsson

Adani Group

  • Faculty: Both the colleges have excellent faculty, so there are no clear winners that can be declared based on this parameter. The Teachers are highly qualified in their respective fields.
  • Syllabus: PES University has a more relevant syllabus than RVCE but the professors' methodology to teach at PES University is not satisfactory. RVCE has a modern syllabus for core branches, but it still lags compared to other top colleges in the country.
  • Students: After considering and analyzing the CET cutoffs and enrollment data we can conclude that RVCE is the choice of the majority of the toppers. 
  • Campus: RVCE has a larger campus as compared to PES University but the campus of PES University is better maintained. 

RVCE College can be said to be No.1 but choosing PES University can not be considered a bad choice. You should try and consider other factors as well before making the final decision. You can choose either of the two colleges and can still make it big in life.

Is it a better choice for choosing FMS, Delhi over IIM-B and IIM-C?

RA
Ruchika Agarwal Posted On : December 27th, 2022
MBA from Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi (Graduated 2020)

No, choosing FMS Delhi over IIMB or IIMC is definitely not a good decision as you will be missing out on so many opportunities. Some of them include 

  • Student exchange programs: The top 3 IIMS have student exchange programs wherein almost 30% of the batch spends one term at a European B School. Also, IIM Calcutta is a part of CEMS. 25 students from IIMC are offered the most coveted CEMS MiM degree.
  • Placements: Without any doubt, the top IIMs have the best placement drives than any other B school in India. All the major companies like McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and AT Kearney visit the campus and hire 50+ students every year. Even if the same companies visit FMS M, the roles offered are different. Also despite being good for marketing, the biggest giants in FMCG don’t visit the campus regularly. So top jobs are offered at IIM ABC and FMS misses out on this opportunity.
  • Campus Life: With no hostel facility, FMS Delhi has non-existent campus life. Meanwhile, all the other IIMs have beautiful campuses, excellent infrastructure, and hostel facilities.
  • Brand name: Without any doubt, IIMs have a bigger brand name than FMS.
  • ROI: ROI or Return on Investment is higher for IIMs than FMS in the long run. Although due to the payment of loans initially, ROI will seem less than FMS(low fees), that’s not the case. IIMs provide better opportunities, global recognition, and an alumni base that add to the ROI value.

You won’t lose anything from joining IIMS over FMS.

CUSAT and TKM both take students based on CET. Students always land in confusion between these two. CUSAT also admits students based on the KEAM score. Being a student of CUSAT, I can say it is better than TKM in several ways.

  • Global Recognition - CUSAT has a better global recognition than TKM. CUSAT has been awarded by many countries for its excellent performance in the fields of education.
  • Culture - CUSAT is more linked and connected with growing industries therefore it offers its students better startup programs and cultures. It also has a wide community to help the students with the real-world industry.
  • Facilities: - High tech facilities are offered by CUSAT. Well-equipped and high-tech labs with the latest technological advancements are present there.
  • Placements - It definitely offers better placement than TKM. Its placement records and stats are better than TKM for every academic year.
Categories CUSAT TKM
Course Fee 3.53 lakh 8410 (1st year)
Highest CTC 15 LPA 12 LPA
Average CTC 7 LPA 3.5-5 LPA
