Will I get IT in IIIT Allahabad with the JEE Mains rank of 5894? Will the future be bright after graduating from IIIT Allahabad?

You can definitely try and apply for it. IIIT Delhi is also feasible for you or you could also go for NSIT Delhi / DTU / IIIT Delhi. You might end up with ECE or IT at NSIT Delhi, Software or IT at DTU, ECE or CSE at IIIT Delhi.

  • Your future completely depends on the marks, your aggregate percentage/ GPA, PORs, and skills in your resume once you graduate. 
  • Probably every college in India has good placements in CSE /IT/ Software Engineering but if you take a lot of interest in programming or developing apps, OS, big data, security, ML, AI, Computer vision, etc, you will definitely bag a great MS/Ph.D. admission or even a well-paid reputed job. 
  • You just need to put lots and lots of effort into this and not play games with your college percentage or GPA. Try to maintain it above 75%.
  • Top companies like Google and Facebook, regardless of your stream, are open to all branches. They just see your coding skills and overall repute. But many companies only allow CSE/ IT graduates to appear, some of them are strictly for CSE.

If you are not a CSE/ IT student, getting a coding job will be hard but not very challenging. Only if you take programming seriously, you will be selected in Google or Facebook which is equally tough.

You could even have a try at Hackathons, learn, practice new programming languages, web development, and basics of graphic designing along with the complete back-end work. Try to make some interesting apps, contribute to open source and you will see budding opportunities ahead of your way. Try not to play with the college percentage/ GPA because they decide which companies you can sit for.

Which is better, IT at NIT Kurukshetra or CSE at PEC Chandigarh?

RS
Raunak Srivastav Posted On : May 4th, 2021
Studied at Delhi University (2019)

My younger brother is doing CSE from NIT Kurukshetra. So I might be able to help you with this question.

  • If you get IT here, consider yourself to have CSE. There is almost no distinction between CSE and IT in this context. Almost all the subjects studied in CSE are also covered in the IT syllabus as well.
  • The syllabus is being revised, and the new syllabus will be implemented beginning with the July session. So, hopefully, you won't be forced to learn about out-of-date technology that no one uses today.
  • The institute has a strong coding culture. Students engage in healthy competition. Every even semester, the seniors (who are among the best in the game) organize extra classes on Algorithms, Discrete Math, and Data Structures (through Competitive Programming). 
  • In college, there are some fantastic developers. GAWDS (Graphics and Web Development Society) is a society full of super talented people who are experts in their fields and with whom you can learn and grow as a developer. 
  • My brother was allowed to miss his Mid-Term Exams because he needed to attend a prestigious Competitive Programming Contest at another college. 
  • For CSE and IT students, there is a technical society called Techno byte, which is heavily involved in organizing Altius and Techspardha, the latter being the largest Techno-Managerial fest in North India. 
  • The seniors here are extremely cooperative.

Heres providing some basic differences between the two institutions - 

Categories

CSE at PEC Chandigarh

Course Fee

6.39 lakh

Placement Percentage

The only thing you'll miss is city life. Kurukshetra doesn't have much to offer, but you won't have time or reason to leave the campus because there's always something interesting going on.

Which one should I choose, BITS Pilani for mechanical or IIIT Allahabad for IT?

SA
Sandesh Anwar Posted On : March 9th, 2021
B.Tech. Electronics and Communication Engineering, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad

Firstly, you should know that there is no difference in the facilities and reputation of the colleges, Although BITS ranks better as an engineering school. BITS Pilani ranks #30 on NIRF's Engineering rank list and IIIT Allahabad ranks #103 on the same. But you should focus on your monetary capacity in consonance with your future plans before applying. 

My cousin studied at IIIT A and the following points are based on his experience:

  • IIIT A is an excellent place to study coding. The classes are good although the syllabus has to be maneuvered because it's tough. You can manage it through attention in the classroom.
  • Attendance is an important part of the academic process here because IIIT A has a 75% mandatory attendance rule.
  • Without a doubt, BITS has a higher fee range as compared to IIIT A, about 7 LPA for a 4-year program.

Here's a table comparing both institutes:

Parameters

BITS Pilani Mechanical

IIIT Allahabad IT

Tuition Fee (INR)

1.59 per semester

62,500

Average Salary(INR)

4.5-5 LPA

20.83 LPA

Highest Salary(INR)

6 LPA

43 LPA

Top Recruiters

Brahmos, Tata Tech, Hero and Michelin

Adobe, Aakash, Accenture, American Express etc

Lastly, if you love the mechanical stream and are truly motivated to study Maths and Physics then you must go for it. Mechanical is a vast field as well because you'd learn everything related to mechanical processes and even production scheduling. So clearly check your interests and goals before deciding.

How is IT branch in Medicaps University, Indore for placements?

IR
Indrakshi Roy Posted On : July 26th, 2021
Studied at Delhi University (2019)

One of my friends studied at Medicaps University. According to him, there are no placements. The ones that are offered are mediocre and average.

They are very strict about attendance. The faculty are not well experienced. Their teaching method is also average.

Only mass recruiting companies like TCS take part in the placement program. They also offer very low salary packages to engineering graduates.

Categories IT at Medicaps Indore
Course Fee 4.85 lakh
Course Duration 4 years
Average CTC 3.5 LPA

Owing to its not-so-good reviews in the field of engineering it is advisable to choose whatever is best for you only after considering the various aspects of it.

Harsh Rawat Posted On : March 16th, 2022
B.E Computer Science Engineering, Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology

IT from NSIT is the best option among these. 

  • The student crowd is brilliant. It has a small batch size compared to DTU. So, you will face less competition. 
  • NSIT has an amazing pool of faculties. You will get to learn from excellent faculty members like Sangeeta Sabharwal and MPS Bhatia. 
  • NSIT IT placements are better than DTU and IIIT D. DTU has a better placement record for core branches. While NSIT offers better placements opportunities to CS and IT students. In the recent placement drive, the average CTC for IT at NSIT was INR 6 LPA
  • Companies like Facebook, Google hire students from NSIT from their US offices.
  • Major consulting and non-tech companies like Bain, BCG, ZS Associates, etc. also visit the campus placements. 

IIIT Delhi has an excellent research culture and professors from top universities like Carnegie Mellon. So, if you are interested in research, you should choose IIIT D. Overall IT from NSIT is the best option in terms of academics and placements.

How is IT at IIIT Vadodara?

IP
Isha Pandey Posted On : July 15th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management, Gwalior (2020)

One of my seniors was a student of IIIT Vadodara and he praised how academics were carried out in the institute. The faculty in the institute is highly qualified and has a lot of experience in the field they are teaching. They have PhDs from premier universities. IIIT Vadodara grants admission to applicants based on their applications.

IIIT Vadodara is popular because of its CSE and IT programs. In addition to that, the institute also offers courses in management and ones related to business which also attracts its fair share of applicants. However, if you want to study hardware and CS in theory, you will probably be disappointed.

The institute is currently in operation from the GEC campus which is Gandhinagar, Gujarat. IIIT Vadodara is very popular for its coding culture and has a reputation for recruiting companies like ICICI Bank, Mathworks, and Amazon.

Should I study IT from IIEST Shibpur or EC from SVNIT?

DB
Devlina Bose Posted On : July 5th, 2021
Studied Computer Science and Engineering at IIEST Shibpur (2019)

IT from IIEST Shibpur is a better choice than EC from SVNIT Surat. Both my classmates and I agree to the fact that IIEST Shibpur is a much better institute than SVNIT. The reasons for the same are given below –

  • It is a common observation that many of the EC engineering graduates eventually work as software engineers, which is not their core domain.
  • IT is very close to CSE in terms of coding and related works. You will definitely learn more in IT rather than EC even if you are interested in software.
  • If you want you can learn software development and coding on your own, then go for the EC branch of SVNIT.
  • But that will require a lot of effort, time management, and discipline.
  • IT at IIEST, Shibpur will also give a mental satisfaction that you are working in the same field as intended while in EC at SVNIT you will probably have to join a job that is not related to your core EC subjects.
  • Even if you are passionate about EC, the faculty in this department at SVNIT are not very good. They are too young for the job.
  • Of course, there will be seniors and various clubs to help you out but faculty are at the core of any teaching system.
