Who earns more, IIT Delhi (B.Tech) or IIM Ahmedabad (MBA)?
Comparing the average CTC of IIT Delhi and IIM Ahmedabad we get:
-
Average CTC of IIT Delhi: INR 16 LPA
-
Average CTC of IIM Ahmedabad: INR 26 LPA
One gets into IIM Ahmedabad after gaining 2.5 years of work experience. Adding the 2 year PGP Program, he is likely to start earning after 4.5 years. Around this time, candidates of both IIM Ahmedabad and IIT Delhi will be earning almost the same amount.
The only advantage an IIM Ahmedabad student will have is its tag which will add value in the long run.
Shall I join an IIM (Kozhikode, and newer ones) as a fresher directly after B.tech or should I take a job that is paying 4.5 LPA and take another go at the CAT/XAT after 2 years for A, B, C,L, FMS & X
Your question has a lot of variables to consider. This answer is unbiased as it can be. You should take a job after B.Tech. if you don’t have a strong resume. MBA is a professional course and welcomes experienced students who are well versed in academic performance, extra-curricular, and leadership/management experience.
If you lack in these areas my suggestion would be to upgrade your CV with skills and experience and give CAT another shot.
Keep in mind that your salary does not matter. Your achievements, crisis management and leadership skills you acquire while at work are more important. So if you are eyeing a high-end consulting job, take another go at CAT after gaining some more experience.
Some people tend to lose the motivation to prepare for CAT over the years. They can join IIM Kozhikode even as freshers.
Which university has a better EE course: IIT Mandi, IIT Jodhpur, IIT Patna, or ISM Dhanbad?
My knowledge is limited to IIT Patna as my brother was a student of the same and thus my answer talks about that particular institute only. Firstly, judging an IIT on the basis of its location is not logical. What matters is the job opportunities and facilities it has to offer. In that sense, IIT Patna will definitely serve you well.
IIT Patna offers one of the best UG EE Courses. For an undergraduate student, EE is one of the most challenging branches. But the plethora of opportunities it has to offer makes it a more lucrative branch too. IIT Patna EE branch includes courses from both Electrical and Electronics leaving you to decide on which field to pursue.
If you are inclined to CS and coding stuff, you can do it despite being in the EE department. IIT Patna has one of the best coders, a senior of the EE Branch who cleared Google Code Jam and was also part of this year’s ACM-ICPC Team which qualified for World Finals and Secured 56 Rank. Another senior cleared GSoC which is quite an achievement.
If you are a research enthusiast and want to go for a Master's, then IIT Patna is the best place. Its highly supportive professors help you in every way. The seniors are helpful and guide you in making the wisest decisions.
It’s best to talk to the students of all the institutes you mentioned and then decide.

Should I go for the Integrated MTech course in IIEST or rather do the BTech in Jadavpur University or some NIT (say, DGP or Calicut) and then try and get a better college for my MTech?
I have a few friends from IIEST. According to them, choosing IIEST can be good. For departments like Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Mining, the faculty base of IIEST is great. The civil engineering department at IIEST is one of the oldest in the country. Also, as per the new norm, you don’t have to complete a dual degree.
You can have an exit option after completing your 4-Year B.Tech. Which is definitely a good option. However, if you want to choose CS/IT, for placements, top or average NIT/JU will offer better placement opportunities.
So, consider all your options and choose according to your convenience.
Which college should I choose, PSIT Kanpur or IMS Ghaziabad for a B.Tech through CS?
In my opinion, IMS Ghaziabad is a much better option than PSIT Kanpur mainly because of its NCR location. When choosing a college, a factor of utmost importance is where the college is situated because your location will impact your college life largely. Opting for a college situated in NCR is a boon as it will give you a lot of exposure to activities and education in general. You get more exposure to industries and startups and thus getting internships is a lot easier. One more advantage is that you can avail many good coaching facilities in the NCR location which may not be possible in a city like Kanpur.
The campus life is less strict at IMS Ghaziabad than at PSIT and there are no strict attendance rules. The fees and value of a degree are almost similar in both colleges but you can enjoy your life much better at NCR colleges. I am strongly against you joining PSIT Kanpur because
- Not a good location
- Unnecessary struck rules related to attendance
- You have to be stuck 9-5 completing unnecessary assignments which have no real importance
- Not a good college to enjoy life and hang out
- No coding culture in PSIT
Despite it all, PSIT Kanpur has a 100% placement percentage and will help you get places in CS. Weigh your options and choose wisely.
What are the recommended books for the B.Tech first year students in NIT Jalandhar?
Some books I’d highly recommend to first-year B.Tech. students at NIT Jalandhar are:
-
For basic electrical - Fundamentals of electric circuits, Kothari.
-
Millman or Boylestad or NN Bhargava (basic electronics
-
Amit Lal's videos on youtube are enough for Management principles
-
B.S. Grewal (Mathematics)
-
Let us C (Computer Programming).
-
Manas Patnaik videos are enough for engineering graphics
-
You will receive a pdf from your professor for Manufacture process
-
general knowledge is enough, no need to study Environmental ethics
-
Schwam series and data structures with C for Data Structures.
These books along with self-study and class notes will be more than enough for a B.Tech. student in the first year.

On the other hand, B.tech from NIT Nagpur is also a good option. The BAA job profile at ZS associates will demand you to perform Excel-workbooks, PowerPoints, Data research, analysis, execution, etc depending upon the clients you work with. Having work experience is no harm where you can be financially independent 2 years prior to your option-1. You can further go back to study PGDM at any top Institutes.
The deciding factor here lies in your passion and inclination either towards HR/ management or the core Engineering field. Decide what is best for you.
