AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 2nd, 2023
lives in New Delhi

If you are getting the same branches, then choosing NIT Kurukshetra over VIT Vellore is a better decision. Here is why 

  • NIT Kurukshetra is an Institute of National Importance and its tag is highly regarded.
  • You will get a permanent membership to the NIT fraternity.
  • The placement opportunities are much better at NIT than at VIT. You can get a good package even if you are an average student here
  • NIT Kurukshetra is located in close vicinity to cities like Chandigarh and Delhi. Students have more places to explore.

VIT Vellore is a decent college but if I had to choose between NIT and VIT, I would have chosen NIT Kurukshetra.

Which is better: NIT KKR CSE or BIT Mesra CSE?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 17th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

In terms of placements, environment, alumni network and infrastructure, BIT Mesra is a much better choice than NIT KKR. BIT Mesra is quite an old institution and its alumni are spread across continents. One of its alumni won an Oscar for his work in an animation movie a few years back. BIT alumni hold good positions in top IT brands like Facebook, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, among others.The placements at BIT are quite good with the average package for B.Tech CSE recorded at INR 19.27 LPA for 2022. Many CSE/IT students receive multiple offers during placements. Last year, 113 CSE students were placed out of a total of 124 eligible students. Top IT and non-IT brands visit the BIT Mesra campus for placements.

BIT Mesra students perform well in ICPC and GSoC. The coding club ACM organizes a weekly coding contest within the campus. BIT has been a national winner in several coding contests like- Goldman Sachs’s “We Build” coding contest(BIT was a winner in all the three formats), Smart India Hackathon, etc.

The tech clubs over there like IET, IEEE conduct free workshops regularly to improve the technical skills of the students.The senior-junior interaction is very healthy at BIT Mesra and there is no ragging on campus.The cutoff for BIT Mesra is not that high because its fees is much higher than the NITs and it does not carry the ‘NIT’ or ‘IIT’ tag

Unless you want the NIT tag for your higher studies, you should choose BIT Mesra over NIT KKR for your CSE. The former will help you in developing your skills and you will get better placement opportunities at BIT Mesra.

Which is better for ECE, NIT Hamirpur, NIT Kurukshetra, or NIT Durgapur?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 2nd, 2023
lives in New Delhi

The ECE branches of all the three NITs you mentioned namely NIT Kurukshetra, NIT Hamirpur, and NIT Durgapur in terms of campus life, job opportunities, and curriculum. However, it's very important to make the most out of the branch you are opting for irrespective of the institute you choose. 

Follow the tips below to ensure you avail maximum opportunities as an ECE student

  • Start focusing on programming if you want CSE in the first place because you will be appearing for IT companies. They will evaluate you on the basis of your skills so start working on them.
  • If you are particularly interested in ECE, then joining any of these NITs will offer similar opportunities. Core jobs are usually less so you will have to study core subjects diligently and try to develop strong concepts. Work on projects and add value to your resume so that you can go for off-campus placements too.

Here is a brief companion of the placement statistics of the 3 branches

Which one is better for a CSE: Jamia Millia Islamia or NIT Kurukshetra?

PS
Prajakta Sharan Posted On : September 2nd, 2023
Studied at the National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra

One of my friends recently passed out from NIT Kurukshetra. He was all praise for the coding culture there and also the placements. A lot of good companies like Google Microsoft Directi offer great packages given that your profile is deserving.

  • The city life however is not very dynamic because Kurukshetra is a small city with very few places to hang out unlike Delhi, a very vibrant city. 
  • The hostel life is great because you make very good friends here. Students are provided with excellent internet facilities.
  • The faculty is decent like any other engineering college with a mix of both good and below-average professors. 
  • The best part is that students won’t have to buy any study material from outside. You get 5 books from the college library for the entire semester and 3 additional books for a 15-day cycle. 
  • The food served in the mess is average but it's the same everywhere.
  • The infrastructure is average but things are slowly getting better under the new director. New buildings and a swimming pool have been made. 

Here is a brief comparison of both NIT Kurukshetra and Jamia Milia:

Fees

INR 1.6 Lakhs (BTech first year)

What is the NIT Kurukshetra CS average package and the highest package?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 1st, 2023
lives in New Delhi

I have a friend in NIT Kurukshetra who shared details of her accommodation there. The college is a fully residential campus perfect for nature lovers. The hostels for the first year students are 

Boys

  • Abhimanyu Bhawan H-1
  • Bhishma Bhawan H-2
  • Chakradhar Bhawan H-3

Girls Hostel - Alaknanda

All the above hostels are pretty old yet well-maintained due to frequent renovations and reprints. The rooms allotted are triple occupancy. The cost is very low and can easily be afforded by everyone. The hostels have decent internet connections second only to the network provided by the CCN (Centre for Computing and Networking), which contains the main server.

Every hostel has its own mess but the food served is below average. Most of the time you will have to eat from outside despite paying monthly mess charges. 

Overall, these hostels have a good ambiance and will give you some of the best memories of your life.

Is civil engineering at NIT, Kurukshetra better than CSE (computer science and engineering) at PEC University of Technology?

MA
Madhav Aneja Posted On : September 2nd, 2023
Lived in Chandigarh, India

It's difficult to choose one between NIT Kurukshetra Civil and OEC Chandigarh CSE because both branches are different with diverse scopes and opportunities. You will have to consider a lot of parameters while choosing one of these

Personally I will suggest you opt for the CS branch unless you have any specific inclination towards civil engineering or any other branch. The excellent placements of this branch are not the only reason I am suggesting you go for it. The courses taught are rather easy and can be covered through self-study which may not be possible for Civil. 

You are aware of the academic situation of most engineering colleges these days. Most professors have no interest in teaching. I believe that if you can get CS in PEC you can also get CS in NIT Kurukshetra. It has a better alumni network so it's a better option than PEC. Civil students will have options like research internships, masters or Ph.D. later, get into IES, etc.

Here is a comparison of a few statistics that might help you further make a well-informed decision.

Parameters

NIT Kurukshetra

PEC

Fees

1.6 Lakhs (BTech first year)

2.07 Lakhs (BTech first year)

Ranking

58 out of 200 in 2023

Average CTC

INR 13.89 LPA

Rs 13.5 LPA

Top Recruiters

ICICI Lombard, HCL Technologies, Microsoft, Adani Group

Microsoft, RBS, Goldman Sachs

In the end, your choice of college won’t matter much but how you spent your 4 years will.

How is NIT kurukshetra for Electrical Engineering?

SR
Sumit Roy Posted On : September 2nd, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra

The Department of Electrical Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra is considered quite decent because of the numerous opportunities it offers

  • The EE department of NIT Kurukshetra has some of the best faculty members like Mr. Yash Pal who teaches Electrical Machines and Mr. Nakka who teaches Power Electronics.
  • The Department of EE has amazing infrastructure and its labs are equipped with all modern instruments. In fact, NIT Jalandhar visits the campus every year because they don’t have labs like the electric drives lab, etc. 
  • The EE course is much similar to EEE thereby offering a wider range of opportunities 
  • Students in the 7th semester have to choose 1 departmental elective out of Power Systems, Information and Control, and Computer Applications. So you can study a subject of your choice in case you fail to upgrade your branch. 
  • PSUs have started recruiting directly from colleges apart from GATE so chances of getting decently placed have increased. 

Here is the placement statistics for the UG course offered by the EE department 

Eligible Students
