Should I take IIT Delhi chemical or take a drop?

SG
Sushmita Gupta Posted On : April 3rd, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

I am not saying that taking a dropout is a bad decision. Most people who appear for JEE more than once tend to score better after the first time. It is not an issue and don’t let people convince you otherwise.

However, you should have a very just reason for taking a drop. Just because you couldn’t get into your dream branch does not mean, you cannot do well in other branches. In that case, you can consider the CS branch of other 2nd-tier Engineering colleges rather than taking a drop year. Moreover, you will be answerable for the same in your interview, and might work against your favor in your interview.

On research, you will find that the median salary of IIT Guwahati and other engineering colleges is almost on par with that of IIT Kanpur and Madras. There is a difference, but not big enough to make you take a year drop out. Ultimately, only you can make the decision but I have laid down the cards, make a wise decision.

SB
Saunak Banerjee Posted On : April 17th, 2021
XIMB (2019)

Well, although the papers of XGMT for XIMB are not even close to the difficulty levels of CAT/XAT but somewhat as same as that of TISS/SNAP or could be a bit tougher than CMAT.

  • Almost 70-80% of the paper can be solved without facing many complications.
  • There are sectional timings.
  • It is a total of 2 hours of paper, where there are four sections EQ+GK, DI, QA, VA+LR overall, and equal timings are not divided for each section.
  • The VA and EQ section might be a little tricky but not hard.

You should be clear with your basics to be ready for the examination.

How is it to opt for Agriculture and Food engineering in IIT Kharagpur? What is the scope for non core jobs?

AC
Anumita Chatterjee Posted On : March 22nd, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IITK)

Agriculture and Food Engineering faces no competition in the Indian market and thus its students usually target higher studies from foreign universities. Basically, no other IIT has had this branch till now. 

The course curriculum includes basic principles of chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and civil engineering, but each of these is taught in agricultural aspects.

Since the students of this course do not specialize in any branch, the placement scenario of this branch is very poor. Agricultural Engineering companies might have a special interest in you but the main problem is this branch is not known to many top companies. Eventually, there are only a very few core companies that offer placements.

The worst part is that even companies offering non-core jobs that are open for students of all branches don’t consider students of this specific branch. So it all depends on your individual performance and your profile.

Hence the scope of non-core jobs in this department is decent and depends mostly on your individual profile and performance.

Which DU college is better, Ramjas or Sri Venkateswara for B.Com?

SM
Samiksha Madan Posted On : January 21st, 2022
studied at Sri Venkateswara College, Delhi University (2018)

Both Ramjas and Sri Venkateswara are reputed colleges under Delhi University. According to the reviews online Sri Venkateswara (SVC) is better when it comes to commerce than Ramjas.

SVC has better placements, faculty and overall exposure. Both colleges are very much involved in cultural activities and extracurriculars. If you are willing to opt for a science course then go for Ramjas, Commerce is better in SVC. They both have no strict rules to maintain a 75% attendance, you should just have enough to sit for the internals.

Students who are unable to sit in the internals due to their involvement in clubs and societies have to submit an ECA to their teacher. This is possible in both the colleges.

Ramjas has a better infrastructure than SVC. But all these do not matter much, if you are dedicated to your studies, you can succeed in any college. Choose the college nearer to you, the north or the south campus.

Which is better: IIT Guwahati CSE or IIT BHU CSE?

SD
Sharad Dev Posted On : March 20th, 2023
B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IITG) (Graduated 2017)

 Instead of recommending any specific institute, there are some myths that need to be debunked first:

  • Placements at one institute are better than the other.
  • BHU has a wider network.
  • IITG has a cooler administration.

You must compare the two courses based on the following features:

  • Academic research
  • Placement statistics
  • Competitive coding
  • Open-source development
  • Other club activities
  • Climate and geography
  • Connectivity (and distance from hometown)

If you're specifically interested in CSE, then the first four points are almost equal for both BHU and Guwahati. When it comes to the other points, IITG has a better climate, while Varanasi may be better connected and nearer to your hometown.

So, it's up to you to weigh the pros and cons and decide which institute suits you better. Remember to make an informed decision and choose wisely.

Souvick Gupta Posted On : May 14th, 2021
B.Tech Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, SVKM'S NMIMS, Shirpur Campus (2019)

I have a few friends at NMIMS Shirpur, so I can tell you a little bit about the campus life at the institute. 

  • Hostel and Mess- The hostels are the best in Maharashtra as well as in India. The best part of this campus is its infrastructure, the hostel rooms are quite spacious and they are the best among other colleges but there are no air conditioning facilities in the room. Mess food is good but they provide you with veg food. 
  • Faculties & classrooms- The faculty base is good and most of them are quite friendly. The classrooms are well maintained and air-conditioned.
  • Placement wise- Placements are quite good. It offers 100% placement, provided if you do not have any backlog in any subject. The average package offered is 3.5 lacks and the highest is around 10 to 12 lakhs.
  • Fest & crowd- During the odd semester, you will have Aiesc Youth to Speak Forum (YSF) followed by Narsee Monjee Model United Nations (NMMUN) followed by the TECH FEST of the college i.e., Ambiora. During even semester you have Cultural fest i.e., Prothoson, and Sports fest i.e., Flavium followed by TedX. 
  • Library- The library there is brilliant with a lot of articles and reference books. 

This campus is ragging-free and the protocols are strict and require to be followed by every student. The campus is smoking and alcohol-free. If one is caught doing any act which violates the college rules and regulations, they will have to face severe punishment.
