Questions Asked On IOM, New Delhi
Is YMCA or Kurukshetra University better than IPU?
One of my friends studied at YMCA while my sister studied at IPU. I can share their experiences and let's see who won:
- YMCA receives a lot of good companies each year.
- IPU receives IT firms most often with a package of INR 3.25 LPA. The only highlight of IPU is Microsoft.
- As a CS or IT, you will find it to your liking. In YMCA Amazon, Maruti, Adobe, Snapdeal, Yamaha, and many more reputed companies come to hire B.Tech graduates.
Placement is what matters to most, however, it's not the only parameter of comparison but because YMCA tops in placements which is an essential factor nevertheless, it wins!
What should I take NIT Kurukshetra Civil/Electrical or YMCA CS?
Let’s consider both scenarios individually to get a better understanding. YMCA CS is a decent option only if you are interested in the field because the opportunities are mostly limited to IT companies. There aren’t many options for further studies.
However, if you go for Electrical/Civil Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra, then you can change your branch at the end of the first year depending upon your CGPA in the first year. In NIT Kurukshetra even the IT companies offer better packages than YMCA. If you are not able to change your branch you can get placed in PSUs. Electrical engineering students also get to choose their profile in their final year amongst Software, power, and control. So you have the flexibility to choose the field in which you want to get placed. You don't have to stick to the branch you took initially. This won’t be possible if you take YMCA CS.
