What should I choose, food processing at NIT Rourkela or a drop after Advanced?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : August 17th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

The answer to this depends upon your purpose of getting into NIT Rourkela. If exposure is the reason, you will get plenty at NIT R. But you will have to be proactive all the time. However, exposure is surely not your first priority.

Good placements are usually the prime reason for students to seek admission into top IITs and NITs. To be honest, the Food Processing Department at NIT Rourkela is not well established. Your food processing department tag will limit your placement options, even at an institute like NIT Rourkela. You will be eligible to sit for the placements of a handful of companies like TCS, INFY, IBM, WIPRO, etc. Hardly any food processing companies visit the campus for placements. But with the right skill set and an NIT Rourkela tag, you may end up with a good off-campus offer. However, you will most probably end up in Analytics, Big Data, or IT.

If you are confident enough, have a passionate interest in other branches like CSE, Electrical or ECE and know your calling, I would recommend you to take a drop. Whichever option you choose, remember that if you are skilled in your field, you will get placed in a good company, sooner or later.

Is the instrumentation and control engineering course at NIT Trichy tough?

RS
Rajiv Shankar Posted On : August 31st, 2021
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India (2010)

The answer would be Yes. One of my friends had completed B.Tech in Instrumentation and Control Engineering from NIT Trichy. The course is definitely tough but the level of difficulty perceived may differ from person to person. And here is some of the information about the course.

Sheer multi-disciplinary nature of subjects :

  • In the very same semester, the candidate will have to study a varied range of subjects such as Fluid mechanics, Material sciences and Circuit theory. 
  • All of these subjects require a good knowledge about modeling in different areas of Physics as it is one of the most essential skills of an Instrument designer.

Involvement in Laboratory activities :

  • Practical knowledge is very important. 
  • Most of the lab exercises are worked in a team. 
  • Thus to complete any task starting from designing, experiment and analysis within a particular given time is a bit of a challenge. 
  • It is important for all the team members to work efficiently for the task to be completed.

Programming and Analytical skills : 

  • It is important to have a good hold on C/C++ programming to understand subjects such as Data structures/Algo, Embedded systems, Control systems design.

Product design and Development :

  • The candidate needs to come with new project ideas and develop it from scratch and make it an Industrial prototype. 
  • This will require a lot of outdoor work, market surveys, meeting suppliers and customer feedback. 
  • Teamwork is very important for such activities.

Design specification :

  • Right from the lab exercises, most of the projects and products the candidate needs to work on have a clear Design Specification. 
  • It is important to adhere to those specifications as it demands sincere and laborious efforts from the candidate which might be tough. 
  • The faculty or project guide may also make things tougher.

These were some of the aspects that make Instrumentation and Control Engineering tough. The course is pretty involved and demanding. Though all these mentioned aspects and skills are required to be a successful Instrumentation engineer.

Which is a better option: IIT Guwahati CSE, IIT BHU CSE, IIT Bombay mech or IIT Kharagpur electrical and electronics communication?

A
Admin Posted On : June 20th, 2024
  • College wise - IIT Bombay > IIT Kharagpur > IIT Guwahati > IIT BHU
  • Branch wise - CSE > ECE ~ Mechanical

However, this is simply a popular trend, and you don't have to follow it. It is best to make a decision based on your individual preferences. 

Doing something that interests you is considerably superior in the long run to doing something you dislike solely for money since, after a few years, money no longer motivates you.

Here are some information to make your decision easier:-

  • The placement scenario for ECE in IIT Kharagpur is good and stands next to the CS department in the table.
  • Though ECE is the largest department when compared with others it still maintains its record well in placements.
  • The NIRF Ranking of IIT Bombay is 3rd, IIT Kharagpur is 6th, IIT Guwahati is 7th and IIT BHU is 15th.
  • The Average placement at IIT Bombay Mechanical is 21.82 LPA with IIT Kanpur ECE is 26.27 LPA, IIT Guwahati CSE is 25 LPA and IIT BHU CSE is 22.7 LPA
  • More than 250 companies visited the IIT Kanpur campus in 2024.

Is there any fee discount for SC/ST in BIT Mesra for B.Tech?

MB
Moinak Biswas Posted On : August 16th, 2023
BIT Mesra

There is no fee discount offered exclusively to SC/ST candidates of B.E. at BIT Mesra. However, you may get some discount on the first-semester fee, which is available for students of all castes and depends upon their ranks. 

BIT Mesra and its other branches (Ranchi, Patna, Deoghar, and Jaipur) do offer scholarships to students based on their GPA and their performance each semester.

To become eligible for the scholarship, you have to score more than or equal to 8 GPA in your semesters. The scholarship is not caste-based and is open to every deserving student. With the benefit of this scholarship, if you perform well in a semester, some percentage of your fee will be credited back into your bank account. This is the scholarship criteria-

  1. 8 GPA - 20% scholarship
  2. 8.5 GPA - 50% scholarship
  3. 9 GPA - 75% scholarship
  4. 9.5 GPA - 100% scholarship (you won’t be charged for your hostel and mess. All the money paid by you will be credited to your bank account)

Thus, students of all social backgrounds can avail the benefit of fee deduction if they score very good grades during each semester of their B.E. at BIT Mesra and its other campuses through this scholarship system.

Which college has the best chemical engineering department in Kerala: GEC Thrissur, NIT Calicut or TKM College?

UK
Utkarsh Kumar Posted On : August 28th, 2021
B.Tech in Civil Engineer from Government Engineering College, Thrissur (2016)

You should have a clear idea of what you are going to pursue after the four years. This way you can focus on a particular college accordingly for your undergraduate degree. 

  1. If you are aspiring to get placed then go for NIT Calicut. Mostly 3 to 5 core companies often visit for chemical engineering branch with very decent packages.
  2. The campus life is worth living at NIT Calicut. You can enjoy various games at the hostel and special evening clubs are designed basically for holistic development. 
  3. Another factor that makes NIT Calicut stand out is the politically passive environment where you can fully concentrate on your academics and engross yourself in the academics-related clubs along with some co-curricular activities.

The only disadvantage that NIT Calicut has is the weak alumni network due to the newly formed campus as compared to GEC Thrissur.

Along with the placements, the brand name of NIT when added to your resume can help you immensely for your future professional life. So think twice and consider all the factors before taking final admissions.

How is the placement of IET Lucknow in ECE?

SP
Sreeja Prasad Posted On : August 5th, 2021
B.Tech CSE, IET Lucknow (2019)

IET Lucknow has a decent reputation in the industry. Therefore, the aggregate placement of the institute is satisfactory. In general, the campus depends upon the students, teachers, and the college.

The ECE branch has average placement. But if you are expecting jobs in core companies then you will be disappointed. There are very few core job offers in the placement drive. However, you will get good opportunities in CSE or IT core companies. So, it’s better to work on your computer language (c++, Java) skills. 

The companies that come for the campus are LT, Aditya Birla Group, NTPC, Power Corporation Limited, BHEL, RDSO, DRDO, DLW, RDSO, BEL, BHEL, BARC, IOCL, BSNL, and more. The median CTC offered in the campus drive is 5 LPA. If you work hard, you’ll successfully get placed.

What is the placement scenario at the Nirma University for electrical engineers? Should I prefer it over SRM computer science?

OK
Oli Kundu Posted On : May 15th, 2021
Nirma University

Electrical and Computer science is very different from each other and they have very few things similar to each other. 

  • In electrical engineering, the course module includes a lot of physics and classical and applied maths, but in computer science, the course module includes discrete and applied maths and there is no part of physics. 
  • In electrical engineering, there are a lot of theoretical studies of maths and physics but in computer science, there are mostly logical studies and coding. Although at the advanced level, these two branches do marge a bit, they are completely different for beginners. 

Here’s a brief overview of the two courses mentioned in the question. 

Parameters 

EE at Nirma University 

CS at SRM

Average CTC

6 LPA

6-8 LPA

Highest CTC

8 LPA

28 LPA


So, you should choose the branch according to your skills and knowledge, rather than choosing a branch, based only on placements. Otherwise, you may have to opt for branch change after 1st year.

What should I choose between BITS Pilani EEE or IIT Guwahati engineering physics?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : May 4th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Both BITS Pilani and IT Guwahati are reputable institutions with strong engineering programs. It’s highly recommended that you go through the contents of the curriculum once before opting for any major. Most students skip this and regret it later as they are forced to study courses they least expected. Go through the books of these courses and determine if the matter intrigues you or not. 

IIT Guwahati Engineering Physics program covers a wide spectrum of fields. Although the placement scenario is average, it definitely quenches your thirst for knowledge of Physics and also prepares you for higher studies. 

Another good option for core physics is MSc at Kanpur or Kharagpur. Although EP will expose you to multiple options, you will require another degree. It’s better to analyze your interests deeply before making the final decision.

As far as the EEE at BITS Pilani is concerned, I am strongly against anyone joining BITS irrespective of the branch they choose. The curriculum is poorly structured and lacks flexibility. The placement scenario is deteriorating day by day. The exposure offered is null and thus BITS Pilani should be your last option when all doors are closed. You will end up wasting your time and money with no solid knowledge up your sleeve by the end of 4 years.

Ultimately, the decision of which program to choose depends on your personal preferences and career goals.
