Is IISc is better than IIT?

BG
Bidita Ghose Posted On : May 4th, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

IITs are for those who are on the lookout for jobs and have little or no interest in research work. IISc on the other hand primarily focuses on research work. 

Basically, to pursue a career in any branch of engineering, the industry-oriented Bachelor's program offered at IITs is perfect. But for a research enthusiast who is keen to pursue a career in research, IISc is the best option.

Ultimately, the better institute is one that aligns with your preferences and area of interest.

For better reference, I have compared the IISc placement statistics with the topmost IIT Bombay

Particulars

IISc

IIT Bombay

Highest Salary

INR 40 LPA

INR 3.67 CPA

Average Salary

INR 10 LPA.

INR 23.26 LPA

Top Recruiters

Oracle, Toshiba, Godrej & Godrej, HSBC, Intel, Mahindra, Cisco, Dell, HP, KPMG, Walmart, EY, etc.

American Express, Honda Japan, Mc Kinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group

You can clearly see that IIT Bombay offers much better job opportunities than IISc.

It's important to note that XLRI offers both part-time and distance education courses. While part-time courses are generally considered more valuable than distance education ones, it's essential to choose a course that fits your schedule and learning needs.

How is XIME Bangalore?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : July 5th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

XIME Bangalore gets criticized by a lot of students because of multiple reasons. According to my friend, the main reasons for the same are-

  1. The institution does not give due consideration to improving its overall placement record. 
  2. The location of all three XIME campuses is unfavorable for good student life. They are located on the outskirts where it is quite difficult to access some form of entertainment during weekends.
  3.  The mess food is below average, especially that in the girl’s hostel. There are common washrooms that are not cleaned regularly. The hostel rooms are small with each room shared by 3 people.
  4. Students mostly end up going for marketing jobs in the end.
  5. There is a lack of playgrounds and extracurricular activities.

Thus, XIME Bangalore has some issues that need to be resolved and the institution should not be your first priority.

TA
Talat Azmi Posted On : July 28th, 2021
Studied at Cochin University Of Science and Technology (2019)

There is no difference between the fees for general round admission and the fees for spot admission. However, the fees for NRI spot admission are higher.

  • At the time of admission, INR 55- 60 thousand is charged in a general round admission.
  • For an NRI spot admission, you will be charged an amount of INR 2 Lakhs, out of which INR 1.25 Lakhs would be a security deposit.
  • This means that this amount would be returned to you once you finish college.

Talking about the semester fee, there is again a slight difference between general round admission and NRI spot admission. It is INR 43 thousand for general round admission and INR 55 thousand for NRI spot admission.

Which is better, BITS Pilani (Pilani campus) or IIT Ropar?

PC
Partha Choudhury Posted On : September 13th, 2021
B.E. Computer Science, Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (2024)

BITS Pilani has been in existence much before IIT Ropar and while it is just growing, BITS Pilani would be a better choice. 

It’s not only the Institutes with the IIT tag that have contributed to the successful future of engineering and promoting it, but the institutes other than IITs such as BITS Pilani, IIEST, and Jadavpur University have played a significant role. 

Categories BITS Pilani (Pilani Campus) IIT Ropar
Course Fee 19.19 lakh 8.58 lakh
Highest CTC 24 LPA 18-20 LPA
Average CTC 15 LPA 8-9 LPA
Recruiting Companies Wipro, TCS, Accenture, Dell, etc. HP, Tata Steel, Deloitte, Capgemini, etc.

The education they furnish is the same as that of any IITs. Therefore, BITS can be taken into consideration.
