PP

Lives in Bangalore

Both NIT Trichy and BITs Pilani are prestigious institutes offering high-quality engineering education. Moreover, CSE and ME are equally good with different opportunities and prospects. So the choice between BITS Pilani CSE and NIT Trichy Mechanical depends on what your preferences and career prospects are. 

BITS Pilani CSE is a great option if 

  • You want to join a top private organization like Google, Facebook, Quora, Amazon, Microsoft, etc 
  • Your primary goal is getting high packages even at the cost of extreme work conditions and workload
  • If you have a strong passion for coding
  • If you have no financial constraints and can afford the high BITS Pilani fees.

However, NIT Trichy Mechanical is a good option if 

  • You are looking for a stable Government job through UPSC Engineering Services Examination 
  • You want to go for PSUs such as IOCL, ONGC, NTPC, etc through GATE 
  • If you are a research enthusiast and want to work in a research-oriented government job as a Scientist or Engineer in organizations like RDO, ISRO, BARC, etc
  • If money is your secondary preference and you primarily focus on attaining a better work-life balance.
  • If you have financial issues and BITS Pilani fees are out of your budget.

Ultimately, it’s you who can decide the right college and stream for yourself. Just remember that these are just stepping stones to success and it’s you who has to work hard to become successful.

Which is better: NIT KKR CSE or BIT Mesra CSE?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 17th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

In terms of placements, environment, alumni network and infrastructure, BIT Mesra is a much better choice than NIT KKR. BIT Mesra is quite an old institution and its alumni are spread across continents. One of its alumni won an Oscar for his work in an animation movie a few years back. BIT alumni hold good positions in top IT brands like Facebook, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, among others.The placements at BIT are quite good with the average package for B.Tech CSE recorded at INR 19.27 LPA for 2022. Many CSE/IT students receive multiple offers during placements. Last year, 113 CSE students were placed out of a total of 124 eligible students. Top IT and non-IT brands visit the BIT Mesra campus for placements.

BIT Mesra students perform well in ICPC and GSoC. The coding club ACM organizes a weekly coding contest within the campus. BIT has been a national winner in several coding contests like- Goldman Sachs’s “We Build” coding contest(BIT was a winner in all the three formats), Smart India Hackathon, etc.

The tech clubs over there like IET, IEEE conduct free workshops regularly to improve the technical skills of the students.The senior-junior interaction is very healthy at BIT Mesra and there is no ragging on campus.The cutoff for BIT Mesra is not that high because its fees is much higher than the NITs and it does not carry the ‘NIT’ or ‘IIT’ tag

Unless you want the NIT tag for your higher studies, you should choose BIT Mesra over NIT KKR for your CSE. The former will help you in developing your skills and you will get better placement opportunities at BIT Mesra.

What is the difference between the CSE and computer and communication engineering courses at the Manipal Institute of Technology?

MS
Medha Sinha Posted On : September 9th, 2023
Studied at Manipal University

Here are some key differences between the CSE and Computer and Communication Engineering courses at the Manipal Institute of Technology. 

  • CCE comes under the I&CT department so it comprises concepts related to networking and communication along with a few modules of CSE while CSE deals with an algorithmic approach to solving problems and software engineering.
  • CCE is a new branch and its placement scenario is unknown although it has become the 4th most popular branch. CSE is the most preferred branch of MIT Manipal and therefore also has the best placements.

CCE has a lot of courses like Cloud Computing, Big Data Analysis, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Computer Vision. Specialization in these courses makes you a favorable candidate for placements in a lot of giant tech companies. So both the courses offer excellent job opportunities.

How is JNTU College of Engineering, Manthani, for CSE?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : August 3rd, 2023

My brother visited JNTUH-CEM for some Workshop Training Classes and also visited the Manthani Campus before his EAMCET Counseling choice filling. Here's how he described the College

  • The climate is hot and humid even during winters, the reason being the location of Coal Fields nearer to the College Campus.
  • The college provides decent accommodation facilities and more hostels are under construction to house the increasing batch size.
  • The CS department here is not well-established and has only 2 permanent faculty. One is the  HOD and the other is the Vice-Principal of JNTUH-CEM. Most classes are conducted by Contract based faculty members. Out of these, only a few are good at teaching.
  • JNTUH CEM students are eligible to participate in recruitments held by JNTUH for its Constituent Colleges all combined. The official placement figures are a bit inflated so don't be disappointed. 

I am strongly against you joining this college especially if you can make it into the colleges that come under the top 20/30 rankings in Telangana State. But if you are joining JNTUH CEM because of financial issues, then consider joining JNTUH CES only. This is because it is located in Hyderabad and therefore offers better opportunities than Mathani. There are a plethora of coaching institutes here such as GATE coaching, GRE coaching, etc.

What is your opinion of the IIT Delhi maths and computing?

KS
Kunal Sharma Posted On : April 5th, 2023
B.Tech. from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

The maths and Computing program offered at IIT Delhi has a higher level of Mathematical concepts and fewer CS concepts. Many take the program under the pretext of attracting CS placements but the curriculum has more mathematical concepts. 

Coursework: The coursework is very intriguing for those who are genuinely interested in the program but might seem difficult and boring for some. Moreover, maintaining a high SGPA in this course is really challenging and almost impossible.

Extracurricular: The rigorous curriculum leaves no space for extracurriculars and your schedule is always packed with some or other activities. The holidays and leisure available are less in comparison to other courses.

Placements: The course offered by the MnC Department of IIT Delhi has an excellent placement scenario and you will not be disappointed with the packages offered.

Overall, the program has a lot to offer in terms of curriculum and placements so is a good choice.
