What would be a better choice in terms of placements: SRM Kattankulathur (IT) or NIT Manipur/Mizoram/Sikkim (CS)?

A
Admin Posted On : May 3rd, 2024

I completed my BTech CSE from NIT Manipur in 2021. NITs consistently perform well in terms of placements. NITs fees are much lower compared to SRMIST and other private engineering colleges. 

For your convenience, I have compiled the 2023 placement figures of all these colleges:

Parameters NIT Manipur *NIT Mizoram NIT Sikkim SRMIST Chennai (2024 Placements ongoing)
Highest/Average Package Highest: INR 47 LPA
Average: INR 9.7 LPA (2022 placements)
- Average: INR 8.50 LPA Highest: 57 LPA (2023)
Average: 6.88 LPA
Total Offers 147 - - 9,011 (2023)
No. of Companies Visited 37 30 - 1,311 (2023)
Top Recruiters Amazon, Discovery, EDFORA, INCREFF, Veritas, Trellix, among others. Virtusa, Optum-UGH, KEC International Ltd, C-DOT, Intellipaat, etc. Bosch, Capgemini, CGI, TCS, Deloitte, Wipro, Infosys, Aarti Industries Limited, etc. Cognizant, TCS, Wipro, Infosys, ICICI Bank, IBM, Axis Bank, Berger, etc.

*The 2023 placement figures might have increased for NIT Mizoram. 

NIT Manipur has the best placement figures among the three NITs. As per NIRF 2023 Engineering Ranking, NIT Manipur ranks 95th, while NIT Sikkim ranks in the 151-200 bracket.

NITs are “Institutes of National Importance''. NITs are government colleges. They come next in line to IITs for their high brand value. Though SRM Chennai is a well-known college, it does not carry the same reputation as the IITs and NITs. Due to these factors, I had decided to pursue BTech CSE from NIT Manipur.

What is the CUSAT cut off rank for CSE?

MM
Manisha Mishra Posted On : February 12th, 2021
B.Tech Information Technology, Cochin University of Science and Technology (2016)

The cut off marks of CUSAT vary year to year. One of my sisters is an alumnus of CUSAT. As per her experience, there are basically two phases in the admission procedure. 

Admission Process:

Given below is a short overview of the admission process at CUSAT.

Rank-wise Allotment:

  • There are three phases in the allotment. Each of them is conducted with a difference of 10-15 days. 
  • If you have a rank up to 8000, you may get selected. After the selection, you have an option to drop and change the course.

Direct Allotment:

  • After the seat allotment based on ranks is completed, the direct allotment process starts. Which is similar to the bidding market.
  • The consideration is made as per your rank along with physical presence. 
  • The direct allotment process is similar to that of online marketing, and you will be able to see your results on the projector.
  • This process will continue till the vacancies are filled.

You should maintain regular phone contact with the admin panel of CUSAT.

CUSAT Cutoff 2020:

According to the 2020 cutoff trend, the required cutoff at CUSAT campuses for General category students are as follows. 

Particular

Thrikkakara Campus

Kuttanadu, Alappuzha 

Cutoff

103

678

My sister told me that in 2012, the last rank of CSE was around 12000, through the reservation quota. With this cutoff rank, students usually get admission to the Kuttan campus. 

According to student reviews, the Kuttan campus does not have a good infrastructure. There are no compound walls, no bridge; thereby the threat of floods is very constant. Besides, the hostel rates are also very high, and some of the people are arrogant, with no permanent staff.

Which college is better for the CS branch, UIT RGPV, LNCT or Truba in Bhopal?

SV
Shiva Vyas Posted On : November 10th, 2022
Lives in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India

When the three are compared, Truba falls far short of LNCT and UIT. Because LNCT is a private institution and UIT is a government institution, it is recommended that you attend UIT. The reason for this is that it is always preferable to study in a government college rather than a private one. Private institutions charge exorbitant tuition fees, and if you are not a local, you may have debts for room rent, bills, and food, amounting to around 5 lakh or even more for a graduate-level course. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee you a placement.

At UIT, you must keep yourself good enough academically to find a seat on campuses that will keep you on track to work hard and earn a first-class degree.

Why can't CST graduates from IIEST Shibpur match the placements and average pay packages of those from Jadavpur University?

HR
Heena Rao Posted On : March 2nd, 2021
Studied B.E Computer Science, Jadavpur University (2017)

My friend is a graduate in CSE from Jadavpur University and according to his experience here are the possible reasons you might be looking for:

  • Reputation:Each and every institution has some flagship departments, which the institution is best known? for. Most of the CSE alumni of Jadavpur University tend to be highly successful. This has given JU prominence in the IT industry in terms of placement. IIEST has that same reputation for mechanical and civil as per his knowledge.

When my friend joined JU, only the ETCE branch was having the best placement. But according to recent placement statistics, IT and CSE also have reached that prominence. 

  • Quality of students: Last year, the closing rank for JU CSE was 134 in the 3rd round which is quite high. This definitely proves the craze for JU CSE. As IIEST takes students only from JEE Main, it fails to get that much attention because of the top 3 NITs. On the other hand, JU is undoubtedly the best college under WBJEE, so it gets that easily.
  • Extracurricular activities: You can participate in a lot of activities like Coding Club, Science Club, Linux User Group, Hult prize, etc. This will certainly give a great platform to learn and develop new skills.
  • Helpful seniors: Seniors are very kind and you won’t be disappointed or refused any help. Some seniors also used to teach juniors on weekly basis in the aforementioned clubs.
  • Active and responsible placement cell: My friend always used to see how the coordinators and OSD Ma'am worked tirelessly just for the sake of the students. Because of them, the CSE’17 batch had an average salary of 14.696LPA. JU IT and ETCE also had a similar kind of placement.

JU has a huge alumni base which helped my friend and his peers more than one can think of. Getting contacts and recommendations made it possible to invite a lot of companies for campus recruitment.

  •  Ranking and reputation: NIT Surathkal was rated 12th among the finest engineering schools in the country in 2023 by NIRF whereas IIT Dhanbad stayed at 17, which is a reflection of the school's academic performance, resources, faculty depth, etc.
