We need to consider a number of factors before choosing one college from DTU, NSUT, IIIT Delhi, IIT Bangalore, IIIT Allahabad, and NITs. 

  • Quality of education: In terms of academics, IIIT Delhi serves the best. The teachers are genuinely interested in teaching and encouraging students to research work. In DTU and NSUT students are expected to cope with the curriculum on their own.
  • Campus life: DTU offers the best resources and campus life to its students followed by NSUT and IIIT Delhi
  • Peer group: You will find the best peer group that is passionate about CS at IIIT Delhi and NSUT. 
  • Placements: This aspect is quite arguable because there is the general scenario as well as the statistics to consider. Generally, DTU fares better than NSUT and IIIT Delhi but if you look at the statistics, IIIT Delhi is the best among these colleges followed by NSUT and DTU. 
  • Brand Name and Alumni: In this aspect, DTU is the clear winner. 
  • Research Culture : IIIT Delhi has more faculty that are inclined towards research. The overall ambiance is conducive to cutting-edge research and students have to do research as a part of the curriculum. IIIT Delhi is followed by NSUT and DTU. 
  • Higher Studies: IIIT Delhi has a CGPA system while NSUT and DTU have a percentage system. A CGPA of 8.75-9 is considered pretty good while even a percentage of 79% is not. So IIIT Delhi students face a certain advantage during shortlisting. Additionally, their research work and skills add to their overall profile and increase their chances of admission to top universities.

Overall, the best option for you is IIIT Delhi considering the above aspects.

Is chemical engineering at good choice at NIT Warangal?

SS

Studied at National Institute of Technology, Warangal (2019)

Chemical Engineering is good at NIT Warangal. If you are really passionate to the core, then you will get placed in a decent company.

Frankly speaking, the students from the Chemical Engineering branch utilize their free time to learn programming languages, and they prefer software jobs. The job opportunity ratio is relatively higher in the software field than in the Chemical Engineering field. So make a wise decision by giving initial preference to your interest

Is branch sliding possible in NIT Durgapur?

GJ

Studied at National Institute of Technology Durgapur

Yes, branch sliding is possible at NIT Durgapur. However, you need to follow certain policies to be eligible for sliding into another branch

  • Firstly , you need to maintain your CGPA throughout the first year and have a very high CGPA at the end of the second semester.
  • Secondly, there must be vacant seats in your desired branch.
  • There must be someone with a high CGPA who wants to mutually exchange his/her seat with you.
  • In case of a tie between two students, the winner will be decided based on the JEE Main rank.

In reality, it’s very difficult to find a vacant seat in your desired branch or someone who wants to exchange. So there won’t be more than 3 to 4 students who will be eligible for internal sliding.

How are the ECE department teachers in NIT Warangal? Is there anything positive about this department in NITW?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : August 19th, 2023

As a B.Tech ECE student at NIT Warangal, here is my review of this department-

  1. Some of the ECE professors at NIT Warangal aren’t helpful or supportive.
  2. There are plenty of assignments, around 8 per week. Some students are somehow able to submit all these assignments on time, always. 
  3. There is no time for extracurriculars because it is already too difficult to score good grades while managing such a heavy workload. 
  4. Some teachers are not flexible and expect a lot from the students. 
  5. Teachers expect us to show up formally. Each teacher follows certain rules which are enforced upon the students very strictly.

One positive aspect that I can tell you about the ECE department is that some ECE professors are helpful and supportive. However, some fall under the above category. 

Thus, I would say that the NIT Warangal ECE department gets quite overwhelming at times. But this is a subjective opinion and you should also talk to a few other students from this branch.

What is it like to be in ECE branch at NIT Warangal/ Surathkal/Calicut? How is the campus life and placements (companies visiting, kind of jobs, average packages)?

AR

I have a friend who studies in the ECE branch at NIT Warangal. I will break down his overall experience into simpler aspects

Academics: The curriculum and academic life at NIT Warangal for ECE students is a bit more challenging than others. Some semesters have too many courses and it’s difficult to get free time. The grades are given a lot of importance and students face tough competition. Also, the faculty is not very approachable.

  • Campus life: The campus life of students of all branches is similar. Equal opportunities and facilities are offered and students experience a productive ambiance where they can work on their passions. 
  • Hostels : The hostel facilities are top-notch and both old and new hostels are available. Students get a home-like feel in these cozy buildings and make friends for life.
  • Mess food: Mess food is better than food served in intermediate hostels. However, students can opt for eating out if the food in the mess is unsatisfactory. The eateries outside serve decent food at low prices.
  • Sports : The sports culture here is not very prominent and you won’t be forced to be involved in any such activities.
  • Extracurricular : A number of clubs promote extracurriculars with ECEA being the most active association.
  • Peer group: Your batchmates will be the most hardworking and smartest people in the institute so peer group quality should be the last thing to worry about. 
  • Placements : Both core and non-core placement opportunities are offered to ECE students. Here are the detailed stats for the same

Which is better, metallurgy at NIT Warangal or an MSc in Biology at BITS Goa?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : August 16th, 2023

Both Metallurgy at NIT Warangal and MSc in Biology at BITS Goa are great programs offering a plethora of opportunities and exposure to its students. But the choice between the two is a very personal matter as both the branches are very diverse in the opportunities they offer. So

  • Go for NIT Warangal if you are interested in Metallurgy
  • Go for BITS Goa if you are ready to Study Biology along with BE Degree.

However, you need to bear in mind the fact that BITS Goa is expensive and the fees is very high around 25 lakhs while NIT Warangal's total fees are less than 10 Lakhs.

What will people miss the most once they leave NIT Warangal?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : August 19th, 2023

My brother recently graduated from NIT Warangal. These are some things that he misses about his college-

  1. Holi celebrations at NIT Warangal boys' hostel are filled with colors and joy. Everyone is pulled out of their rooms by their peers. Whether you resist or cheerfully oblige, you end up thoroughly enjoying the entire experience. People throw colors at each other and all these mischiefs are an expression of love.
  2. Everyone desperately tries to get a seat in the first round of the special mess. Mess representatives become everyone’s best friend that day and each student over-eats due to sheer excitement. It's fun to wait for the special mess and save a seat for your friends.
  3. The night before an exam is eventful. Everyone tries to guess what questions will appear in the exam. All the boys join the nine pointer’s room at 11. Each one tries to figure out what the syllabus is, even till an hour before the exam.
  4. Watching cricket matches in the TV room is an unforgettable experience. People make funny comments while watching a match which makes the entire experience ten times better. Watching the world cup on the big screen in the auditorium and cheering for team India with tattoos and face paintings of the national flag is what my brother misses the most.
  5. Various events like DJ Nights, Audi Nights, Movie Week, and college fests are always looked forward to. My brother fondly remembers the fun he had with his friends during college fests.

According to my brother, he will cherish all his life the memories he made with his amazing friends and hostel mates at NIT Warangal.

Which one should I choose for M.Tech: NIT, Trichy, NIT, Warangal, NIT, Suratkal, NIT, Allahabad or Delhi College of Engineering in thermal/design?

Namrata Das Posted On : September 6th, 2023

All NITs are well-reputed institutes that ensure quality education in India. Let us look into the features of NITs in detail.

Daily Life – All the NITs follow the same system, and there is no significant difference between them. The classes begin at 9 a.m. and end at 5 p.m., with a one-hour break in the afternoon. Like other colleges, regular classes are conducted five days a week, and on the weekends, students can take part in extracurricular activities. They also provide decent hostel facilities for the students

Ragging – It is strictly prohibited in all the NITs. Instead, there are state-wise groups of students that give students a chance to interact with the seniors.

Food – NIT Trichy is more into south Indian dishes, while other NITs have both south Indian and North Indian food.

Faculty and Placement – NITs have well-qualified scholars and guarantee 100% placement to the students, irrespective of the branches.

So, you can select any of the NITs based on your preference

sd
saptarshi dutta Posted On : August 2nd, 2023

In terms of a greater reputation and recognition across the nation, NIT Warangal is a winner. However, there are certain points about IIT jodhpur that you should consider-

  1. IIT Jodhpur has had its own permanent campus for a few years now. It has newly built infrastructure, A/C rooms, sports facilities, and other amenities.
  2. Since the labs are newly built, they are among the best and second best in the country with the latest technology and new instruments.
  3. There is a well established student society and a strong extracurricular base.
  4. The alumni are studying in Ivy League colleges like Harvard, Purdue, etc. and many are working in highly reputed MNCs like McKinsey, Google, Amazon etc.
  5. Campus placements are quite promising with offers from top companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, Morgan Stanley, Arcesium, Works Applications etc. Electrical and Mechanical students receive high packages from ISRO and PSUs like BPCL etc.
  6. IIT Jodhpur students ace exams like GATE, UPSC, CAT, GRE, etc. The students also bring honor to the institution in Gsoc, ACM-ICPC etc. 
  7. The newly designed curriculum is well-integrated with yearly industrial practice, which you get to opt into from the first year.
  8. The faculty is well-learned and the professors are themselves alumni of prestigious national and international universities. They have publications in reputed conferences and encourage the students to indulge in research and get published in the second or third year.

Thus, IIT Jodhpur is as good an institution as NIT Warangal and even surpasses the latter in certain respects. I would thus suggest you to go for IIT Jodhpur.

Which is better: BITS-Hyderabad or NIT Warangal?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : August 19th, 2023

In my opinion, NIT Warangal is better than BITS Hyderabad. It is a top NIT and branches like CSE, Electrical and ECE at it are comparable to the top IITs. I would in fact say that all the branches at NIT Warangal are good. In terms of facilities and infrastructure, both the colleges are comparable. However, you will get much more exposure at NITW. 

NITW conducts seminars and workshops by IIT professors and other eminent professors from foreign universities. It has a better collection of books- both quantity-wise and quality-wise. In private colleges one can keep 2-4 books at a time, but in government colleges, there is no such limitation on book allotment. For placements too, NITW is better. It has a greater alumni network and better industry connect because it is much older than BITS Hyderabad. 

The best option is to take up CSE at NIT Warangal for great career opportunities. But at the end of the day, your efforts will determine your future. Your college tag is important but what will matter more is how much effort you are ready to put in on your skill development.
