What are some reasons to choose BITS Pilani over NITs?

NS
Navneet Singh Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
Studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

BITS Pilani can easily be compared to many NITs and there are several reasons why I will recommend you to choose BITS Pilani over NITs. 

  • The no attendance-policy makes you live your college life as per your will. 
  • The crowd at BITS is excellent because of the no-reservation policy.
  • A large number of clubs and departments help you pursue your passion and interest.
  • BITS Pilani coding culture can be compared to most NITs.
  • The mess is student-driven so you can input your demands easily.
  • The professors are highly qualified with an excellent knack for teaching. The Institute does not promote rote learning in any way.
  • Another great feature of BITS Pilani is the practice school wherein you will be working as an intern in big companies. 
  • BITS Pilani’s superior infrastructure is also what makes it better than NITs. 
  • The top-notch educated combined with the exposure offered results in better placements than most NITs

However, the answer is not for top NITs. Top NITs like Tricy will any day stand better than BITS.

Which is better in terms of placements and all: IIT Roorkee chemical or IIT BHU chemical? Which has more liberal branch change rules: IIT Roorkee or IIT BHU?

N
Nisha Posted On : July 2nd, 2024
student at IIT Roorkee

I am a second year Chemical Engineering student at IIT Roorkee. Both IIT Roorkee and IIT BHU offer top notch placements. However, IIT Roorkee Chemical is a better option because of these reasons-

  • The NIRF Engineering ranking 2023 of IIT Roorkee is 5, while that of IIT BHU is 15.
  • IIT Roorkee has a stronger alumni network than IIT BHU. This can be beneficial for placements, internships, and career guidance.

The 2023 placement statistics of IIT Roorkee and IIT BHU are given below:

Parameters IIT Roorkee Overall IIT BHU Chemical
Placement Percentage - (63 Recruiters, 500 offers) 86.43%
Median CTC - INR 16.18 LPA
Average CTC - INR 19.52 LPA
Highest CTC INR 1.3 CPA (domestic)
INR 1.06 CPA (international)
INR 1.68 CPA (overall)
INR 1.15 CPA (Chemical)

(The branch-wise placement data for IIT Roorkee is not available).

The branch change policies are based on the academic performance of the students in their first year and the availability of seats in the desired branch. These are the branch change rules at IIT Roorkee and IIT BHU:

IIT Roorkee- A 9.0 or above CGPA is required for a branch change at IITR. Another thing is that the strength of the new branch should not increase by more than 10%. Moreover, the strength of the original branch must not fall by more than 25% of its existing strength.

IIT BHU- For IIT BHU, the required CGPA for branch change is around 8.5 to 9.0. IIT BHU might have a slightly more flexible approach, but it mainly depends on the number of students applying for the branch change and their respective CGPAs. Some branches may restrict the number of students who can transfer in.

Seat availability in the desired branch is a critical factor for branch switch at both institutions. IIT BHU might have a slightly more relaxed approach for branch change. But overall, switching a branch at both these IITs is a difficult task.

How is the integrated MSc in physics at NIT Rourkela?

SB
Sriparna Banerjee Posted On : August 14th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Rourkela

I am well aware of the situation of NIT Rourkela Integrated MSc in Physics since my sister is a student there. She shared her horrible experience and does not recommend it to anyone at all.

  • The faculty pool comprises underqualified professors with zero experience and will to reach. They are unapproachable and don’t pay heed to the students' doubts.
  • The curriculum is very rigid and students are offered no flexibility in choosing their electives. Rather they are forced to choose subjects that are only relevant to experimental physics.
  • Students are required to get the signature of the Faculty Advisor, HOD, Asst. Registrar, and Dean even for the smallest official work. 
  • The place limits your talents and ambitions so much that all your dreams and talents will be crushed.

My sister regrets wasting 5 precious years on this course and advises everyone to refrain from joining it.

Should I join Symbiosis Institute of Technology Pune for CS even if I get MIT Pune and VIT Pune?

RR
Riya Rosen Posted On : May 4th, 2026

this question is comparing three private Pune colleges, so let me give you the honest pecking order:

MIT Pune (MIT College of Engineering) > SIT Pune (Symbiosis) > VIT Pune (Vishwakarma)

if you're asking whether to join SIT Pune even if MIT Pune is available — no, generally choose MIT Pune. it's an older, more established institution with a stronger alumni base in Pune industry. MIT Pune has been around since 1983 and has deep ties with Pune's manufacturing and IT sectors.

BUT — before finalizing, check one more thing: is PICT Pune (Pune Institute of Computer Technology) on your list? because if it is, PICT > all three of these for CS/IT. PICT has government-aided fees (almost free), very strong placements, and is one of Pune's best CS colleges.

  • PICT CSE: Rs.15,000–20,000/year fees, excellent CS placements
  • MIT Pune CSE: ~Rs.1.5L/year, good placements, established brand
  • SIT Pune CSE: ~Rs.2L/year, Symbiosis brand, newer campus
  • VIT Pune: decent, lower than SIT in reputation

if you already have MIT Pune in hand and the question is about SIT or VIT Pune — go MIT Pune. simpler answer.

What should a non-genius student do to get a seat at IIT Kanpur CS?

AR
Aditi Roy Posted On : April 19th, 2023
lives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

It’s good that you have a target in your mind and aren’t leaving everything to luck. The best way for a non-genius student to get a seat at IIT Kanpur's Computer Science program is to work hard and consistently. Rather than stating the usual; solving previous year question papers, joining good coaching institutes, coordinating school with coaching classes, and self-study, I will talk about some of the most basic things that people often undermine 

  • Whenever you feel you are falling into a slump, remind yourself that there are hundreds of students who want you to fail in order to grab your position. Remind yourself of this continuously and you will find yourself out of that bubble.
  • It’s important to assess your own abilities and be honest with yourself rather than being overconfident. I have seen people who are confident with their academics end up with poor grades. Don’t undermine yourself but don’t even overestimate yourself. Remember you are surrounded by geniuses.
  • Don’t get addicted to useless stuff and activities that waste your time. Instead, go for a walk or read for a break.
  • You should have prepared yourself mentally and physically for the sacrifices you have to make and the efforts you have to invest.
  • Study books that make you understand the concepts in a simpler manner yet give you a comprehensive understanding.
  • Motivate yourself with the possible outcome and the reaction of your family. Keep yourself reminded of the happiness and success will harbor.

I would like to end the answer on a final note: There are no non-geniuses, just bad students who do not pay attention in class and bad teachers who do not teach well.

Which colleges in DU allow inter college migrations?

AS
Agasthya Sen Posted On : October 10th, 2022
Studied at University of Delhi

To migrate, you must obtain a NOC (no objections certificate) from both your current college and the college to which you wish to transfer.

If you are a bright student, your principal is unlikely to grant you NOC. 

If you are an average student, the college where you want to go will not give you a NOC. Justice believes that it is practically a gain for the principal to accept an average student into his college.

Let's get to the point where we migrate when there are open seats in the college we want to attend. However, CBCS was implemented at DU in 2015, and no student will be failed under CBCS.

Even if a student fails, he will be allowed to continue to the next semester. It is up to the individual whether or not he clears his paper by taking improvement exams.

So, while migration in DU appears to be simple, it is now nearly impossible.

Between IIM L and XLRI, which is better?

DA
Dikhsha Agarwal Posted On : May 5th, 2022
PGDM Business Management, Xavier School of Management (2020)

XLRI is the better option among these. The institute has a strong industry presence. According to the recent highlights, XLRI placements are pretty good. During the 2022 placement drive, the average CTC offered was INR 30.73 LPA. While the highest CTC offered was INR 60 LPA. 

XLRI is widely reputed across the country. If you check the credentials of multinational brands operating in India, most of them are XLRI alumni. 

Student life at XLRI is much better compared to IIM L. The personality development programs of XLRI are pretty good and help students gain management and leadership traits. IIM L has a more traditional approach toward academics.
