You receive your course completion certificate right after your final semester. But to get your provisional certificate, you may need to wait for 3–4 months.
I left IIT Patna electrical and electronics for IIT Roorkee civil. Did I make the right decision?
Yes, you certainly made the right decision by choosing IIT Roorkee over IIT Patna. The biggest reason for saying this is that IIT Roorkee is an older IIT, thus having better opportunities, alumni, and experienced faculty. The career opportunities and exposure rendered by an old IIT cannot be compared to that of a new IIT. Irrespective of the branch you choose, old IITs will help you develop as a person.
Additionally, the IIT Roorkee Civil Engineering branch is considered one of the best Civil branches in India.
Many students prefer average branches like Mechanical and Civil at old IITs to top branches like CSE and EEE at new IITs. So go for IIT Roorkee without any second thoughts.
How is Chandigarh University for CSE?
The placement opportunities at Chandigarh University are excellent. When it comes to CSE, students have been able to secure pay packages as high as Rs 31LPA. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Hitachi, CTS, Capgemini, Tech Mahindra, and other international brands visit the Chandigarh university campus on a regular basis. One of the most important aspects of a B. Tech in CSE is the opportunity for final-year students to receive on-the-job training, which is a significant benefit for students preparing for careers.
Much new software is provided to the students, and they are taught how to use it, as well as given support so that they can develop their own new software and continue to work with them to improve human life.
What is the prospect of production engineering in NIT Trichy?
Many people think that production engineering is mechanical minus thermodynamics. Which is not true. Production engineering is completely different from mechanical as the subjects are different.
My friend is currently in the 4th year of production engineering, NIT Trichy and according to him, it doesn’t really have a good prospect. Here’s why:
- While other departments have 6 subjects per semester you’ll be having 7. This can get quite hectic for you at times.
- Despite so much hard work, placements are not good at all. You will never be treated equally to your mechanical friends, however good your profile is.
- Although you can go into most of the mechanical engineering fields like automobiles, industrial tools making, etc. you will be paid lesser than your mechanical engineer mates.
However, if you are planning for higher studies and research, then production is a very good choice. Being a production engineer opens up the manufacturing, industrial, and mechanical higher study options too. So, if placement after B.Tech. is your focus, please look elsewhere but if you are into higher studies then surely go for it. Choose wisely.

Is PGDIE in NITIE a better option than jobs in PSUs like IOCL, ONGC, BPCL after GATE?
Jobs at PSUs win over PGDIE at NITIE. However, if you are a fresher and you have to choose one, let us look at both the jobs options one by one.
- If you join NITIE, which offers techno-managerial roles, you will end up in the corporate world with lots of job varieties and offers. Even though NITIE is a center of excellence, no big offers are given to students. PGDIE is an industrial course offered by NITIE that does not add much value after 2 years.
- On the other hand, PSUs provide you a settled life. However, during the initial years, it might be hectic but it varies from organization to organization. After few years of work, due to saturation employees try leaving the job. So, if you do not like saturation, you can opt for NITIE.
However, 99.99% of top 100 rankers in GATE either go for jobs at PSUs or opt to pursue M.Tech from institutions like IITs/ IISC. In fact, you will find this in any branch you look at. You can also check the GATE rank of persons joining NITIE.
Which should I choose: CSE at BITS, Goa or CSE at NIT, Trichy?
I hope you are not the kind who evaluates and compares institutes solely based on their placement scenario. Here are a few things to consider while comparing CSE at BITS Goa and CSE at NIT Trichy.
- Faculty: BITS Goa CS department has a better and more experienced faculty pool in comparison to the NIT Trichy CS department. BITS Goa has a thorough screening while recruiting and most professors are PhD holders from top colleges abroad as well from India.
- Infrastructure: Both institutes are equally good in this aspect with top-notch infrastructure and facilities.
- Peer group: The crowd quality is also similar considering that NIT Trichy being the top NIT attracts high-rankers while the no-reservation policy at BITS Pilani ensures only the best minds.
- Brand value: BIT Pilani enjoys a better brand value because of its rich legacy and wins in this aspect although NIT itself is not very bad either.
- Fees: This is where NIT Trichy takes the lead as its BTech one-year fee is only ?1.78 Lakhs (1st Year Fees) while BITS Goa BE first-year fee is ?5.72 Lakhs.
- Placements: BITS Goa again is the winner here although, with excellent coding skills, you can get a great job in any of the 2 institutes.
So, unless you have any financial constraints, BITS Goa is the best choice for you.
What is it like to graduate from DCE/DTU?
As a graduate of DTU, my sister feels surreal reminiscing about her time at the college. College life is lively and you are always busy with something. There ain’t any compulsion to attend classes and you can get involved in a lot of extracurriculars in addition to enjoying the beauty of the campus. She was amazed by the quality of her peers and loved spending time with intellectual people.
The college days are a blend of good and bad experiences. Even the bad experiences have goodness behind them and you are well aware of this and that’s what makes you proud of being a part of this institute. You strive hard to survive and leave with great life lessons, real knowledge, and plentiful skills.
The reality hits you when your last semester exams end and you wait for your job to start. You realize that you won’t ever be able to meet such people and make such memories again. Soon, you get busy with your new life and make new friends. Ghr occasional meet-ups with old friends make you nostalgic but you are able to move on.
After a few years, you realize that because of your initial struggles and what DTU made you, you can now live a comfortable life. You see the thin line between IITians and Non-IITians fading away into oblivion and feel proud of your college. You keep climbing the ladder higher and achieving great heights. Eventually, you adapt yourself to your new life and the occasional talks about DTU fill your heart with warm memories.
Which one is better: IIM Indore or IIM Lucknow?
IIM Lucknow has better ranking and placements compared to IIM Indore.
- It is an older IIM and has a huge alumni base spread across industries and geographies. Hence it has better recognition in the industry.
- IIM Lucknow has a smaller batch size compared to IIM Indore. Due to the small batch size, it’s easier for the institute to offer better salary packages and profiles to students.
- IIM Lucknow placements are better compared to IIM Indore. The 2022 placement drive of IIM I ended with an average CTC of INR 31 LPA. While the highest CTC offered was INR 61 LPA.
Both IIMs offer similar ROI.
