What is the difference between M.Tech (CSE) and M.Tech (AI) at IISc Bangalore?

Amanda Marie Jacob Posted On : July 14th, 2023

There are many points of difference between IISc MTech CSE and MTech AI. Some of them have been listed below

  • M.Tech CSE is the flagship M.Tech program from CSA whereas the M.Tech AI program is a new program that has been recently introduced by the EECS division.
  • There is a huge difference in the curriculum of both programs. Although both programs require 64 credits, the breakdown is different. For MTech CSE the department core requires a minimum of 24 credits comprising at least 8 credits each from Pool A, Pool B, and Pool C There is a project too. The remaining credits are for electives. The M.Tech AI course on the other hand has 19 credits from pool A subjects, 12 credits from pool B subjects, and 12 credits from electives. Additionally, there is a 21-credit project where one can work on interdisciplinary cutting-edge problems on AI.
  • M.Tech CSE admissions are done on the basis of GATE CS scores while the cut-off for M.Tech AI is decided by the applications from CS, EE, and ECE disciplines.

It's natural for a CSE B.Tech student who isn't certain of specializing in theory, systems, or AI, to go for an M.Tech (CSE). The curriculum is flexible and you can even choose electives or work on AI projects. But if you are certain o your inclination towards AI then M.Tech (AI) is an excellent choice.

Can you rate Kongu Engineering College with Sri Krishna College of Technology Kovaipudur?

NR
Nalini Ranjan, Posted On : November 2nd, 2021
studied at Kongu Engineering College, Tamil Nadu, India (2018)

Both the colleges are equally good. Though it can be compared on the basis of the following factors:

  • Location: Kongu College is in Erode and Krishna College is in Coimbatore. So, location matters a lot while choosing a college. In this case, the former is better.
  • Strength:  Krishna College has low student strength and fewer departments compared to Kongu College. During placement, you get fewer competitors.
  • Staff: Kongu College has better and experienced staff members than Krishna college. The staff of Krishna college though freshers are known to be very cooperative.
  • Lab Facilities: Kongu College offers better lab facilities compared to Krishna College. 
  • College Fee: Krishna College is a bit costlier than Kongu. Krishna College doesn't have any scholarship scheme for toppers, unlike Kongu.
  • Hostel: In Krishna, you have to pay nearly 85,000 for a hostel. But In Kongu it is 55,000 to 60,000. But when quality and facilities are considered Krishna definitely wins.

Krishna is known for having good placements compared to Kongu. Also, the overall environment at Kongu College is very strict, whereas Krishna College shows leniency towards their students.

Is it better to take metallurgy in NIT Rourkela or electrical in NIT Silchar?

RH
Rituparna Hazra Posted On : July 5th, 2021
B.Tech in E.C.E from National Institute of Technology Silchar (2020)

You need to compare the two universities to make a decision between the two. Having friends studying in both the institutes, I might be able to help you with the question.

Metallurgy at NIT Rourkela:

  • Campus-wise, the college has a very large campus.
  • But, if you are planning to pursue metallurgy, let me tell you that you will have lesser job opportunities in both the public and private sectors in India.
  • You might have to shift to another country to get a well-paying job and earn decently in your field of study.

Electrical at NIT Silchar:

  • There are also some really good facilities here including the largest digital library in South Asia.
  • The campus is really good too.
  • The placement records are amazing. Moreover, electrical is an evergreen branch with decent scope in the public sector. This would surely make a good alternative.

Does any student of IEM regret taking admission in IEM instead of Heritage Institute of Technology or the other way round?

SD
Sayandeep Dutta Posted On : September 17th, 2021
B.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering ,Institute of Engineering and Management (2020)

For the first two years of your college life, you may regret not joining IEM, in the last two years this will not matter much. 

  • IEM is also quite strict. According to my friends at the institute, you are not allowed to use cell phones inside classrooms. If a student is absent for two consecutive days, then his/her parents (or guardians) are called for inquiry purposes. The same situation would arise if you do not secure good marks in your examinations. 
  • According to my IEM friends, the teacher-student interaction is not as open and there is an unspoken barrier between them. HIT, on the other hand, has helpful teachers in these areas. If you have any questions, you can contact them at any moment, including over the phone. Teachers in HIT also assist you in developing your research interests. They will motivate you to study even for topics that are not included in the curriculum but are relevant to it. 
  • IEM is unquestionably better than HIT when it comes to campus placements as per the records of the past few years. Many students get the opportunity to appear for the recruitment process of core companies. According to the recent placement highlights the highest CTC offered at HIT and IEM were 16 LPA and 72 LPA respectively. 

However, whether you select CSE or IT, I recommend that you go for HIT because the placement percent is the same in both institutions for IT-related streams, but the faculty of CSE and IT at HIT will provide you with better support and encouragement.

Should I go for DTU for mechanical or IIIT-Delhi for ECE?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : October 5th, 2023

I have friends in both the colleges DTU and IIIT Delhi so I can give you a comparative analysis of these colleges

  • IIIT Delhi charges almost double the fees of DTU, so if you have financial constraints, DTU is a better choice.
  • IIIT Delhi has a rigorous campus life and heavy workload sparing no time for extracurricular activities. 
  • DTU students score better CG even though they are involved in many nonacademic activities. A high CG score is crucial for MS or further studies and even more so during placements.
  • IIIT Delhi has a smaller batch size so it's easier to become part of any cultural competition because of quantitatively fewer people competing for the same.
  • DTU has a bigger campus and better infrastructure than IIIT Delhi which operates from a tiny campus.
  • Except for core electronics, you can almost pursue any career as a DTU student because of the free time you have. The mechanical societies of DTU are excellent.

The choice between the two is a matter of personal goals and inclinations.

Which university is better Utkal University or Ravenshaw University?

AR
Ashima Roychowdhury Posted On : October 13th, 2021
M.A. in Psychology from Ravenshaw University, Cuttack (2021)

To pursue UG courses, Ravenshaw University is one of the best options. Ravenshaw is one of the oldest and premier institutions in Odisha and currently it is at the top in Odisha for providing UG courses. The infrastructure of this university is very beautiful and all the departments of this university are well designed to give a nice atmosphere to the students to study and create a learning environment. 

However, if you are talking about postgraduate courses, then it is not wise to compare the institute as a whole. Rather it will be better to find out about the course you are interested in. Look for lecturer profiles, field exposure, course studies, etc.

I got ECE at RVCE Bangalore. Now I can get ECE branch at NIT Surathkal. Which is the better option?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : September 14th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

One of my friends is currently pursuing her final year Btech in ECE in NIT Surathkal and shared a few key points 

  • Placements: The placement scenario for the ECE branch of both NIT Surathkal and RVCE is somewhat similar. Most companies like TI and Samsung visit both the colleges and offer similar packages. However, NIT students face intense competition due to relative grading so grabbing good packages is more challenging than at RVCE.
  • Brand : It cannot be denied that the NIT tag adds a lot of value to your resume and opens multiple doors of opportunities.
  • Faculty : The ECE department of NITK has one of the best faculties in comparison to any other departments. Most of them are highly experienced and you can do many projects under them. The course curriculum is also revised frequently.
  • Opportunities : RVCE is located in Bangalore and thus offers better off-campus opportunities than NIT Surathkal.

Ultimately, both colleges are equally good in their own way. It’s up to you to choose the right one for you!

Which one should I choose: MS by Research program or M Tech at IIIT Hyderabad?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : August 2nd, 2023

If your future goal is getting a high paying job, choose the M.Tech program at IIIT Hyderabad.The course fee is high but an average package of around INR 31 LPA is offered to M.Tech students. Thus, you will be able to easily cover your education expenses within a year of your job. 

If you are really interested in Research, you should choose the MS by Research program. The average time for completing the MS program is 3 years, but depending upon your guide, you can also complete the program earlier than that. At present, the duration has even come down to 2.5 years.

MS students sit with M.Tech students during IIIT Hyderabad placements and get equal placement opportunities. However, as an MS student you will get so involved in research work that instead of going for a job you will probably end up doing Ph.D. If you are interested in CV/ML, its course structure and guidance at IIIT Hyderabad are top notch. The MS course is very flexible and you study subjects that are relevant for your research.  

Overall, whether you go for MS by Research or M.Tech at IIIT Hyderabad is a matter of your personal goals.
