Which is better, IGDTUW CSE or NIT Calicut CSE?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : August 21st, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

I have a cousin who is currently working as a senior software engineer at Walmart. He is anex-student of IGDTUW. This alone negates all the claims of people stating IGDTUW is a below-average institute with poor infrastructure and zero placement opportunities. In fact, the first job he landed with campus placements was at Adobe. His juniors got placed in better companies like Google, Facebook, etc which speaks of the improving placement scenario.

Here is a comparative analysis of the placement scenario of these institutes 

Particulars

IGDTUW BTech CSE

NIT Calicut BTech CSE

Batch Strength

156

148

Students Placed

98

148

Highest CTC

INR 55 LPA

67.62 LPA

Average CTC

-

20.54 LPA

Its true that NIT Calicut may have an upper hand in terms of infrastructure, but in the long run, that does not really matter. A college can give you the wings to fly and it's on you how high you rise. Moreover, being a girl, you will have better opportunities in a girl's college like IGDTUW.

Yes, you will have to make small sacrifices like moving away from your home and adjusting to minimal facilities but in the end, it will be worth it!

Which is better, chemical at IIT Kharagpur or CS at IIT Mandi?

A
Admin Posted On : June 18th, 2024

Choosing Chemical Engineering at IIT Kharagpur is a better option as compared to CS at IIT Mandi. IIT KGP is a much older institution with a rich legacy and a stronger alumni network. Other than that, Chemical Engineering at IIT Kharagpur has an active research culture. 

On the other hand, IIT Mandi may not be the best option because of its recent establishment. Although the IIT Mandi placements seem promising, they are nowhere near IIT KGP placements.

Here is a general comparison of the 2 institutes based on several factors-

Particulars IIT Mandi IIT KGP
B.Tech Fees 2.85 Lakhs (1st Year Fees) 2.24 Lakhs (1st Year Fees)
NIRF Ranking 2023 (Engineering) 73 6
Highest CTC (2023) INR 60 LPA INR 2.68 CPA
Average CTC (2023) INR 21.50 LPA INR 50 LPA
Top Recruiters Flipkart, 1mg, Microsoft, Uber, Amazon Microsoft, Google, EXL Services

Based on these factors, I would suggest you choose Chemical Engineering at IIT KGP over CS at IIT Mandi.

Why are the placements for Btech Civil Engineering so low in Nit Calicut?

DS
Devesh Saraf Posted On : August 21st, 2023
Studied at NIT Calicut

Civil engineering has lost its charm after the IT industry has taken over. The placement statistics of the branch have witnessed a drastic decline over the past few years. In 2022, the NIT Calicut BTech Civil Engineering recorded the following figures

Students Placed 

86 out of 98

Highest CTC

INR 11.4 LPA

Average CTC

INR 7.36 LPA

The primary reason for the poor placement scenario is the lack of industry in that specific location. Other South Indian NITs like Trichy, Surathkal, and Warangal offer better industry exposure and have more promising scenarios. NIT Calicut lacks transport facilities so most construction companies prefer visiting the nearest NIT rather than traveling all the way to Calicut. Another reason for the poor placement scenario here is the low performance of the senior batches of the branch. 

However, the situation is gradually improving as the institute has been adopting measures to support students pursuing internships at IITs and other industries.

What should I prefer, a dual degree in BITS Pilani or CSE in Thapar University?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 4th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

I can only guide you but only you know what is right for you. If you are serious about a career in CS, Thapar University will offer better opportunities and an environment. But if you want to explore other things and also want to enjoy your college life, then taking a dual degree at BITS Pilani will be a great choice for you. BITS has a very flexible curriculum so it allows you to explore your ambitions thoroughly and openly. Moreover, you will be exposed to a better crowd and culture so obviously the learning experience will be more enriched. Generally, both institutes have their pros and cons, and going through these will guide you better toward making a well-informed decision. 

Thapar University Pros: 

  1. You will be able to study CS, which has amazing job opportunities.
  2. You will complete your graduation in 4 years
  3. Excellent accommodation facilities at par with BITS

Thapar University Cons:

  1. 75% attendance rule
  2. The crowd and academic ambiance are not at par with BITS because of the reservation policy.

BITS Pilani Pros:

  1. No compulsory attendance rule
  2. The packages offered are great but you will have to work hard for them
  3. More talented and skilled peer groups because of no reservation
  4. Dynamic campus life

BITS Pilani Cons:

  1. You will be completing your graduation in 5 years, a year later than your BTech counterparts
  2. You will have to study extraordinarily hard in the first year to get the branch of your choice.
  3. Intense competition and academic pressure.

Lastly, don't take dual degrees in BITS on the pretext of getting  CS. Only a handful of students get to choose CS in dual degrees.

Which college is the best for computer science and engineering: UEM Kolkata, Heritage Institute of Technology, or CIEM?

SK
Sudeshna Kaur Posted On : July 13th, 2021
B.Tech from University of Engineering and Management, Jaipur (2018)

One of my close friends studied CSE at the Heritage Institute of Technology Kolkata. According to her, they have a great faculty, well-maintained infrastructure, and an updated curriculum.

Heritage Institute provides better placement opportunities than UEM and CIEM Kolkata. It also offers good industrial exposure to its students through various kinds of workshops, seminars, and guest lectures.

UEM is a very new college so it cannot be compared with old institutions like Heritage or CIEM.

Categories Heritage Institute CIEM UEM
Course Fee 4.56 lakhs 3.57 lakhs 5.81 LPA
Highest CTC 25 LPA 21 LPA 12 LPA
Average CTC 12 LPA 10 LPA 8 LPA
Recruiting Companies Accenture, Cognizant, etc. Wipro, Infosys, etc. Byju’s, HCL, etc.

It is suggested that you go for Heritage Institute of Technology rather than CIEM or UEM in Kolkata. It will provide better prospects for your career.

Is NSIT ECE a wise choice over NSIT IT? What is the average and highest package offered to the students of these branches in NSIT?

SM
Senjuti Mitra Posted On : August 23rd, 2023
Studied at Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (Graduated 2022)

Whether the choice is wise or not depends upon your personal interests. ECE is a better choice if electronics interests you. IT would prove better if you are into coding, technology, and computers, and wish to work in this field. 

During 2022 B.Tech placements, the overall median package at NSUT Delhi stood at INR 16 LPA. The ECE branch has access to almost all the tech companies during NSUT Delhi placements. Whereas, IT students can’t sit for core companies. However, some top coding companies do not allow other branches except COE and IT to sit for their placements. 

Like any other college, tech companies visit NSUT Delhi in greater numbers. But ECE students learn coding and are easily placed in brands like Facebook, Google, etc. The highest and average packages for IT are better than those for ECE. However, the ECE also has a greater number of students. 

Right now, I would suggest you focus more on your interests than the placements. This is because, with an interest in your field, you will surely land a good job. Your dedication and commitment will play a greater role than your branch in deciding your future.

Which is better to join DTU/NSIT/IIITD or new IITs or BITS Goa/Hyd Dual for CSE?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 23rd, 2023
lives in New Delhi

I won’t recommend you choose a dual program from BITS. For CSE, I would highly recommend IIIT Delhi. It has great research opportunities. It does not have the same branch value as NSUT Delhi/ DTU, but its growth rate is high. It will soon become a brand like IIIT Hyderabad. Compared to the new IITs, IIITD has a locational advantage because it is situated in the national capital. 

BITS dual is a decent choice, but only if you get a CS. It depends on your performance in the first year. The odds of getting a CS are less than 20% which is pretty low, and the cutoffs keep getting higher each year. As far as the ‘BITS’ tag is concerned, it's really not that important in reality.

For the new IITs, go only if you are getting a CS over there. Do not rely on branch change. Also, avoid going to those located in small/ secluded towns because then you won’t get a lot of exposure. Also, do consider the faculty and infrastructure if you plan to go to a new IIT. My order of preference for CSE is IIITD > NSUT Delhi/DTU > BITS Goa/Hyderabad > IIT.

Thus, for a CSE, I would suggest you to choose either IIITD or NSUT Delhi/DTU.

Amazon

Deloitte

Morgan Stanley

Amdocs

Ernst & Young

Oracle

Bharat Forge

Facebook

Pepsi

GE Money

Qualcomm

Capital IQ

HCL

Samsung

Cisco Systems

HSBC

SONY

During placements at NIT Trichy, the roles offered by companies vary greatly from technical profiles in core companies to app developers in IT companies to managerial positions like analysts and consultants.

NIT Trichy is a reputed government institution that offers decent placements and most branches see over 90-95% placement rate. Thus, it is a good choice to pursue your B.Tech in Production Engineering.

Do IIT Guwahati CSE students get similar opportunities for foreign university/company internships compared to IIT Bombay?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : May 3rd, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

My friend was a CS student at IIT Guwahati and he failed to secure a summer internship. According to him, only 3 students from the entire batch of CS second-year students got foreign internship offers. When he asked his friends at IIT Bombay about the same, he came to know that 6 students had got foreign internship offers. 

There are a number of reasons why older IITs offer more opportunities than II Guwahati. Let’s explore some of these reasons 

  • Unlike IIT Guwahati, older IITs have collaborations with top foreign universities. For example, IIT Kanpur’s SURGE program has tie-ups with Caltech and provides funds for undergraduate internships.
  • Professors are ready to accept students for internships but the lack of funds makes it impossible to secure a paid foreign internship. 
  • Another major problem is the lack of focus on research at IIT Guwahati. Students at IIT Bombay have completed great research projects whereas IIT Guwahati students have no research accomplishments up their sleeve. Their CV is extremely lacking and does not fetch good packages.

All in all, the department doesn't encourage foreign internships and older IITs offer way better opportunities compared to IIT Guwahati.
