I’m currently studying Information Science and Engineering at NIE Mysore, and I have to say the college does a good job with placements. The highest package was 54 LPA this year, and the average package is around 11 LPA. The curriculum is rigorous, with frequent exams and assignments, making sure we stay on top of our studies. The internship opportunities are also decent, with many companies offering stipends. Overall, I feel like the college prepares us well for the industry.

Hello Everyone!

A little about me: I'm a second-year ECE student at IIIT Allahabad and have lived in Allahabad my whole life. Since my childhood, I've known about IIIT Allahabad. After my JEE Main, I decided to go with the ECE branch here because it was the best option available to me based on my rank last year.

I'll cover what life is like on campus, including academics, clubs, cultural events, and college festivals. This will be a lengthy read, but it will be valuable if you're considering IIIT Allahabad for your engineering path. This isn't just for newcomers; anyone currently at or who has been part of IIIT Allahabad might find it interesting.

Let's dive in!

IIIT Allahabad is one of the top government colleges you can enter through JEE Main. The campus is situated at Devghat Jhalwa (Peepalgaon Road) on the outskirts of Allahabad. It's about 10 km from the city center, 7 km from the main railway station, and around 3-4 km from Allahabad (Bamrauli) Airport. The city is well-connected by air, rail, and road to nearby major cities. Train services from all over the country are excellent and quite comfortable.

Starting the campus tour, let's look at the first-year boys' hostel, BH-5, which is the newest and largest of the five boys' hostels. It stands right across from the college's main entrance. Here's a peek at BH-5:

• Outside view
• Inside view
• Dining area
• Room

This was my room during my first year in BH-5: 5304 (Hostel 5, 3rd floor, 4th room). Rooms are generally two-sharing, but there are also single rooms available for a higher cost. Some students who arrive later might get single rooms without extra charges if all shared rooms are taken.

There's a gym on the first floor of BH-5, just above the mess, with timings from 6-8 in the morning and 6-9 in the evening.

BH-5 also has its own night canteen, which is a real lifesaver. The other hostels, BH-1 to BH-4, share night canteens in BH-2 and BH-4. BH-2's canteen is considered the best. There are also snack and food shops like King's, Malik, and Delicious if you want something different from the night canteen.

(Note: I don't have images of the other hostels yet since my first year wasn't fully spent on campus due to COVID-19. I'll update this when things normalize.)

Here's a quick breakdown of hostel assignments:

• BH-5: First-year B.Tech boys, as well as first-year Ph.D., M.Tech, and MBA students (5th and 6th floors).
• BH-4: Second-year ECE boys and some IT boys if BH-2 is full.
• BH-2: Second-year IT boys.
• BH-3: Third and fourth-year IT boys.
• BH-1: Third and fourth-year ECE boys, along with M.Tech, Ph.D., and Dual Degree seniors.

Now, on to the girls' hostels (thanks to Ananya Agarwal for the details and photos of the first-year girls' hostel):

First, let's talk about the rules for girls' hostels. Campus timings are flexible—initially, the in-time is 10 PM for the first month. After that, there's no restriction on staying inside the campus. To leave the campus, girls need to inform the caretaker and have an in-time of 8 PM. Late returns depend on the caretaker or warden's mood. First-year girls require an email approval from their parents.

There are three girls' hostels on campus:

• GH1: M.Tech and Ph.D. girls (single occupancy)
• GH2: First-year B.Tech girls (double occupancy)
• GH3: Second-year girls (double occupancy) and third, fourth-year girls (single occupancy)

Here's a glimpse of GH-2:

All three girls' hostels share a common mess in GH3. There's also a gym in GH3 for girls, with timings similar to the BH5 gym.

My rating: 8/10

Life at VNR-VJIET offers much more than just classes and placements. The college boasts some top-notch sports facilities, and our sports festival is a highlight in South India.

There are numerous tech and cultural events to join:

• Tech fest: Convergence
• Cultural fest: Sintillashunz is widely known ?

Students can also engage in social service initiatives like the NSS camp.

The college supports student initiatives and mentorship for juniors with talks and visits from inspiring real-life personalities. There's a motivational club as well.

It's a great place to showcase your projects.

On Republic Day, student clubs parade their work.

You'll find various clubs to join and enjoy industrial visits.

There are also intramurals and special events for newcomers.

You'll meet friends who'll stick with you for life. This is perhaps the best part!

In conclusion, you'll transform from a student entering engineering to someone skilled in handling different life situations. The four years spent here will be memorable.

And yes, the placements are pretty solid!

In my view, if you're thinking of doing an MBA from Delhi University, Faculty of Management Studies at North Campus is the best choice. It offers a good return on investment, and the job placements are on par with IIM Lucknow. But keep in mind, it's tough to get in because of the high competition. Thanks.

My experience at LJIET while studying Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science has been okay. The fees are about 85,000 per year, and the placement opportunities seem decent, with companies visiting for internships. The exam pattern is structured well with frequent tests, which helps in keeping up with the syllabus.

However, the campus life could use more activities; it's not very vibrant compared to other colleges.

Both colleges are pretty decent in their own ways. If you’re aiming for a good academic score without putting in too much effort, LJIET might be the better choice for you. On the other hand, if you’re interested in clubs or sports and want to explore things beyond academics, LDRP could be more suitable. Academically, LDRP is strong too. Plus, at LJIET, instead of assignments, you get a question bank with questions from the last 10 years of GTU exams, while LDRP tends to give you more assignments.

NIBM in Pune is a top-notch place for a PGDM in Banking and Financial Services, accepting 90 students each year. The program is challenging, offering both in-depth theory and hands-on experiences so that you're ready to jump into work with little extra training needed. The professors are not just smart but also have real-life banking experience, often consulting for banks. They're open to chatting if you have questions outside of class.

The job placement rate is excellent, with every student getting placed since the program started, and the average salary package keeps growing. Big names like SBI, Axis Bank, Federal Bank, HDFC, Yes Bank, NPCI, and KPMG regularly hire from here. Students get to intern with major institutions such as RBI, EXIM Bank, SBI, IDBI, and many others.

Additionally, you'll get to hear from experienced professionals through guest lectures, giving you insights into what's happening in the banking and finance world right now. The campus itself is peaceful and feels like a completely different place, away from the city's hustle and bustle.

Cheers, Sumeet.

Yes, students from the Post Graduate Diploma Management - Banking and Financial Services [PGDM BFSI] program at NIBM Pune do get placed in reputed MNC banks and financial services. The placements have been great, with regular recruiters like Barclays, Bank of America, and BNY Mellon offering attractive packages. My own experience has shown that the average CTC is around 15.5 LPA, which is quite promising for anyone pursuing a career in this field.

Absolutely! At NIBM Pune, we have a robust placement system for the PGDM BFSI course. Companies like Tata Capitals and Bank of America actively recruit from our campus. This year alone, around 25 students received PPOs, which speaks volumes about the opportunities available. The focus on internships also helps in securing these positions, as they are 100% compulsory.

Definitely! The PGDM BFSI course at NIBM provides excellent opportunities for placements in top MNC banks and financial services like JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley. The internship program is a fantastic pathway to secure PPOs. The curriculum is well-aligned with industry needs, and many of my batchmates have landed positions in some of the best firms in the sector.

I can only speak for my experience at LJ University, where I studied Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering. The faculty here are quite supportive, and they are available to help with any doubts. The average package for placements is around 4 lakhs, which is decent. The fees for my course are 90,000 per year, and I got a scholarship that helped reduce my costs. Overall, I feel that LJ has a good balance of curriculum and practical exposure, which is important in the tech field. So, for me, LJ is a solid choice.

One word sums it up: vibrant! The experiences at VNR VJIET are quite diverse. You've got studies, top-notch facilities, great faculty, and advanced labs. There's also a focus on robotics, automobiles, and plenty of active student chapters. Plus, you'll find a whole mix of friendships and mentoring from seniors, along with relationships, festivals, dance clubs, dramatics, and lively social clubs. And don't worry, because you also have job placements lined up in the final year. That's what I call graduating with flying colors!

For me, the charm of VNR really hit during those late-night fest preparations. I'm from the 2016 batch, and I've been back twice since graduating. Every visit is a rollercoaster of emotions, with excitement and happy tears from seeing the campus again, mixed with a bit of sadness from missing it. It's not just a college; it's a heartfelt experience!
