Dev Taneja Posted On : October 4th, 2021
BE Materials Science and Engineering & Computer Science,Jadavpur University (2018)

Civil Engineering and CSE are the trendiest branches as reckoned by the leading companies. If you will opt for a better college over a preferred branch for pursuing engineering then it is suggested to switch your opinion. 

Seeing this, you must choose Civil Engineering at Jadavpur University over KGEC. Following are the reasons for choosing the same:

  • The faculty at Jadavpur University is comparatively better than Kalyani Government College. They are well-experienced and most of the faculty members hold a doctorate degree. 
  • The student crowd at JU is helping and competitive. One of the main highlights is the students’ club in the university. You will receive good exposure.
  • Although the placement scenario for the civil industry is deteriorating in the entire nation, it is still better to take it up at Jadavpur University than Kalyani for CSE. 
  • The mass recruiters are mainly limited to companies such as TCS, Infosys, etc. at Kalyani. Whereas in JU, you would be able to opt for financing and consultancy firms as well. They certainly provide contenting packages.

It is suggested that you choose your preferred stream if you ultimately have planned on pursuing higher studies like GATE, GRE, etc. If you are planning on doing MBA or some job then JU would be the best fit. 

You should keep in mind that the name tag of your undergraduate institute always stays with you hence choose wisely.

Which is better, JUIT Solan or JUET Guna, for civil engineering?

SN
Sahil Pratap Nayak Posted On : July 17th, 2021
Jaypee University of Engineering and Technology (2020)

In terms of Civil engineering, both the colleges, JUIT Solan and JUET Gunaare good colleges to learn from and for overall development. But the latter comparatively has an edge over the former.

Academics:

JUET Guna campus is sprawled in multiple folds, over more than 125 acres. The civil engineering lab at JUET GUNA is more equipped than JUIT Solan from what I have heard from many of my seniors. Due to the much bigger campus, you can use up the instruments more efficiently.

Placements:

As far as the placement is concerned, both are nearly the same. If you want to go to a non-core Job you can easily get it with good effort or else if you opt for core jobs then they conduct pool campus drives specifically at different locations.

Here’s a brief comparison of the Civil Engineering course offered by the institutes.

Parameters JUIT Solan JUET Guna
Fees INR 95,000 INR 2.06 LPA
Placement Average 70% 72%
Average CTC INR 5 LPA INR 3.75 LPA

Going by the factors mentioned above it is safe to say that JUET Guna will be a better choice for Civil Engineering.

Which is better for the future: PEC civil or UIET Chandigarh CS?

SD
Sneha Diwan Posted On : May 5th, 2021
B.E. in Mechanical Engineering, Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh (2020)

The choice must be done purely based on your interest. If you are not that interested in coding and if you take a lot of time to understand the core language, there is no point in opting CS even if it's in high demand. Once you enjoy what you are learning you will succeed in your job position. Otherwise, there is no point in being hung up in a course which you don't enjoy and for four years or even for the rest of your life. 

Quick stats 2021:

Particulars

UIET Chandigarh (CS)

If you don't have a specific preference and you are okay with either CS or civil, then clearly assess college reputation, placement stats, and other opportunities in the respective fields which are briefed out below. 

  • Both PEC Chandigarh and UIET offer 24/7 high-speed internet facilities at both academic blocks and hostels. Academic blocks are fully air-conditioned. 
  • Labs are fully equipped with hi-tech equipment. Libraries are up-to-date with new books of international standards. 
  • Food at hostels is pretty good and you can even opt for off-campus housing facilities. Both of these universities give priority to sports. 
  • Both of them organize certain tech fests out of which 'PECfest' of PEC and 'Avishkar' of UIET are quite popular.

As a branch CSE is on top when compared to Civil. But when you compare PEC and UIET, PEC has an upper hand. Set your priorities straight and opt for the best college for you.

B.Tech from National Institute of Technology Sikkim (2021)

Many students go through this dilemma and the right way to choose a college is to compare them on various aspects. As some of my friends are from these institutes, I can provide a bit of information about them.

  • NIT Sikkim is a very popular and reputed engineering institute but the college in Dehradun is not much reputed and also has less popularity.
  • To get admission to NIT Sikkim, you will have to clear the JEE exam.
  • But the college in Dehradun is a private college and you will have to sit for an exam conducted by the college to get admission.

  • The students in this department are very talented and more than 50% of the students have scored more than 8 GPAs in their 3rd semester.
  • The faculty of this department is decent enough and very cooperative.
  • The weather here is very pleasant and the campus is very beautiful.
  • The infrastructure is not good enough as in private colleges. The lab facilities available in this department are also poor.
  • The placements at NIT Sikkim are very good. There will be PSUs and many other popular companies visiting the college, so the numbers are likely to increase further.
Categories Civil Engineering at NIT Sikkim
Course Fee 5.35 lakh
Highest CTC 12 LPA
Average CTC 5-7 LPA
Recruiting Companies Tata Steel, Ambuja Cement, Aditya Birla, BHEL, etc.

Hence, NIT Sikkim is a very good college to pursue civil engineering and you should definitely go for it over any other private institution. It will give various opportunities which will be very helpful for your career.

It is difficult to predict with certainty whether you will get admission to PEC Chandigarh for civil engineering with a rank of 30,921 and the outside Chandigarh quota in the spot round. However, here are some points that might help you to understand the admission process:

  • PEC Chandigarh has a total of 360 seats for B.Tech, including 54 seats for civil engineering.
  • The admission process at PEC Chandigarh is based on the candidate's rank in JEE Main.
  • PEC Chandigarh conducts six rounds of counseling, including a spot round, for admission to B.Tech programs.
  • During the counseling process, candidates can select their preferred course and college based on their JEE Main rank and the availability of seats.
  • The cut-off rank for civil engineering at PEC Chandigarh varies every year based on several factors such as the number of applicants, the difficulty level of the exam, and the number of seats available.
  • In the spot round, the seats that are left vacant after the previous rounds of counseling are offered to the candidates based on their JEE Main rank.
  • If there are any vacant seats available after the spot round, then they are filled through institute-level spot counseling.

It is difficult to say whether you will get admission to PEC Chandigarh for civil engineering with a rank of 30,921 and the outside Chandigarh quota in the spot round. However, you can participate in the counseling process and select your preferred course and college based on your JEE Main rank and the availability of seats. If there are any vacant seats available after the previous rounds of counseling, then you might have a chance of getting admission in the spot round.

Which is better, IIEST Shibpur for civil engineering or IIIT Raipur for CSE?

SD
Sagnik Das Posted On : July 14th, 2021
Studied at IIEST Shibpur (2019)

There is no comparison between IIIT Raipur and IIEST Shibpur for Engineering. IIEST Shibpur is a much older and well established college than IIIT Raipur. Being a student of IIEST Shibpur myself, I can confidently say that the college is much superior when it comes to engineering.

  • IIEST offers decent placements due to its strong alumni network and reputation among people.
  • According to recent placement statistics, many top recruiters visited during the placement drive including Microsoft, Vedanta, Wipro, Cognizant, Godrej, HSBC Technologies, and many others giving the highest package of INR 39 LPA.
  • Lastly, we can say that though IIIT Raipur may be known for its brand it does not stand on the same ranking as the old engineering departments of IIEST.
Categories IIEST Shibpur IIIT Raipur
Course Fee 5.68 lakh 1.8 lakh (1st year)
Highest CTC 35 LPA 23 LPA
Average CTC 15 LPA 10.5 LPA
Recruiting Companies Infosys, ZS Associates, Bosch, IBM, etc. TCS, JP Morgan, CitiBank, American Express

They produce many well-qualified students in different fields and provide them with many facilities along with placements and even good opportunities for higher studies and research.

Is Civil Engineering from Heritage Institute of Technology a good option?

MJ
Mahima Jain Posted On : September 23rd, 2021
Studied Civil Engineering at Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata

Before jumping to the conclusion, let us understand all the aspects of the college which can make you feel that it is good for you or not.

  • Ragging – There is absolutely no ragging on the campus except for some fun interactions and are actually good ways to build up a rapport with them. Physical or mental assault is absolutely not permitted on campus.
  • Education – The college has an adequate number of professors but the problem lies in having “good” professors. No doubt that they are highly qualified and are highly educated but they cannot deliver the same in an interesting way 
  • Placement – Hardly one or two companies come for core civil engineering jobs and the rest of others offer IT sector or sales and marketing jobs. There are many students who happily take them but if you are one who wants to do a job in a core civil engineering company then it is really difficult.

Other than that Heritage Institute of Technology is a good college. If you have no problem with the above-mentioned things then it is a very good choice otherwise it may not look so attractive to you.

Which is best, civil or EEE in CUSAT?

AS
Ahaana Sharma Posted On : May 11th, 2021
B.Tech Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, Cochin University of Science and Technology (2019)

Out of the two branches, Civil Engineering from CUSAT is the better choice. The following reasons will justify the choice.

  • The median package offered by the branch is INR 4.5 LPA.
  • The branch has a cut-off of 2313, i.e., quality people get admitted.
  • The Civil Department has excellent and experienced faculty. They provide quality learning to their students.
  • The campus is vast, spread across 180 acres. You can enjoy life with academics.
  • There are extra-curricular and practical learning opportunities throughout the years.
  • The curriculum followed by CUSAT is quite decent and well-framed. It is considered to be more rigid than other universities. But it is not very difficult to grasp if you put in hard work.

The placements of both the branches are bad. Civil Engineering packages are not excellent across India, but CUSAT is a preferred choice.Civil Engineering is decent for the students if they want to work in core companies. However, if you are choosing EEE, then you can appear for civil services examinations and a job guarantee will be there.
