How is the chemical engineering program at Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata? Please provide details about the infrastructure and faculty members.
I can assist you with the latest scenario of Chemical Engineering at Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata.
Curriculum:
- Being an autonomous institute, the curriculum is pretty up-to-date. Though subjects such as Petroleum Refinery Engineering, Piping, etc are missing
- As the institute is new, you can see the slightest change in the syllabus over a timely basis.
Faculty:
- Maximum teaching faculties have done their Ph.D. from reputed institutes and some even have exceptional teaching qualities.
- There are few, who are willing to put in extra efforts for sincere students and guide them whenever possible.
Labs:
- Almost all labs do not have a sufficient number of apparatus which leads to students performing experiments in groups.
- But still, the labs are pretty much sufficient and enough to clear your basic idea about the subject.
- Computer Labs lack modern softwares such as Aspen, ChemCAD, etc. but recently they have started introducing FLUENT and COMSOL, MATLAB, and AUTOCAD.
Research Facility:
- You won’t see much research happening here due to a lack of infrastructure.
- The project lab is not very well equipped but if want do some project you are guided by the faculty.
Placements:
- Companies like Linde, Phillips Carbon Black Ltd., Haldia Petrochemicals, and Voith Paper recruit regularly.
- There is a good aura for someone who’s aspiring to crack GATE to get into some PSU and also, who wants to pursue higher studies both in India as well as abroad.
Ultimately it totally depends on you and how you use the resources provided to you for your benefit and how you seize the opportunities which come to you.
Is 6.7 CGPA good for 1st semester at IIT Kharagpur?
I suggest you not to score below 6.5 as CGPA 7 is a must to get admission in a good foreign university. However with a CGPA of 6.5 you can go for Government jobs. I know a friend who did not focus on CGPA and played football and today is struggling to get a good job.
It is all the more difficult to get a good CGPA after low marks in the first semester because the professors evaluate you on the basis of previous grades sometimes. However, you will get placement into a decent private company so you don’t have to worry much.
Basically, even after getting admission at a good institute like IIT KGP, you have to keep struggling to score high marks.
What is your review of Fergusson College Pune?
Fergusson College is one of the best colleges in Pune for Science and Arts courses. It offers a pro-active campus life. FC campus is a heritage place. You will never get tired of just roaming around the beautiful campus. If you are a bookworm, you will love the FC library.
The college offers good academics. It boasts about its great faculty pool. The peer group is diverse, you will meet students from all over the country.
How are NIT-Jalandhar M.Tech placements?
NIT Jalandhar placements are good for M.Tech. According to the recent placement highlights, the average CTC offered for M.Tech branches is around INR 6 LPA. The highest CTC offered goes up to INR 10 LPA. Comparably CSE has a better placement record. Adobe, Oracle, OYO, Intel, L&T, etc. are among the major recruiters that take part in the placement drive.
Is it worth it to join BITS Pilani, Goa, Hyderabad by paying a fee of around 4,69,000 per year?
In my opinion, if you aren’t certain of your career prospects and don’t have the luxury to spend a hefty amount, go for a government-funded institute over BITS.
Additionally, India as a whole has fewer job profiles in the core sector so it’s illogical to pay such hefty fees for a degree in Civil, Mechanical, or Chemical at BITS.
But if you are inclined towards CS then taking a loan might be a good option considering the high packages offered in this branch. BITS dual degree programs are also in high demand these days. BITS has many merit-cum-need scholarships for students from weak financial backgrounds that are provided on the basis of grades and family income.
Ultimately, you should consider BITS if you can afford it and for CS or dual degree programs only.
Is BITS Pilani equivalent to IITs?
I find comparing BITS Pilani and IITs very lame as both have their own strengths and weaknesses and have made a strong mark in the educational world. Moreover, the ‘better’ institute depends on the individual and the branch he is looking for. For CS and EE, BITS is going to be the best option for you. But if you cannot afford the high fees then IITs will serve you better.
Although BITS is comparable to the old IITs, the suitability depends on the individual itself and is not generic. Everyone has different criteria to judge a college. Some focus on infrastructure while some give importance to placements and research. It depends on the individual on what to prioritize and then make a choice that suits his priorities the best.
How are the ECE placements at Thapar University?
In general, there are very limited core placement opportunities in ECE because of the limited scope in this field especially in India. ECE placements at Thapar University are no different. As a whole, ECE placements here are decent because mostly consultancies and management visits for recruitment. The only issue is that core jobs are very less.
But on the bright side, students of Thapar University can sit for placements in all branches thereby opening more gates of opportunities for them. This makes up for the lack of core jobs.
I asked a friend about the placements scenario of ECE and she shared a few pieces of information
- Around 60-65% of students get placed in the ECE department.
- The highest salary package offered is 30 LPA,
- The lowest salary package is 4 LPA,
- The average salary package is 6 LPA to 7 LPA.
- Top Recruiters are Amazon, WDC Gameskraft, McKinsey, JP Morgan, etc.
- Around 75% of students get internship offers in roles such as SDE, member of technical staff, and quant.
In all, ECE placements at Thapar University are average.
What are your reviews of Maharaja Surajmal Institute, Delhi, for a BBA?
One of my friends studied there and according to him and his classmates it isthe worst institute to pursue a BBA degree.
Below are the points mentioned which will prove why they have such an aversion towards this institute:
- Attendance is the major issue. You need to maintain at least 75% attendance. The professors can detain you at 74% attendance.
- There are only two streams - BBA (General) and BBA (Banking & Insurance).
- There are a total of six subjects in each semester. The faculty is not so good.
- Mugging up is better than understanding the topic.
- The infrastructure of the institute is outdated. The top floor is the administrative block, and the ground floor is for the campus.
- No enthusiasm is shown for extra-curricular activities.
The college environment is a mix of decent students and dull students from various schools. MAIT and other below-average colleges conduct the seminars. The college timing is from 8:10-1:30, with a 20 minutes break at 11:00. There are six classes in a day. It feels similar to a school.
