Which college is better, NIT, Surathkal or BITS, Hyderabad? Why?

AS
Aishwarya Shastri Posted On : September 16th, 2023
Lives in Hyderabad

BITS Hyderabad is a private college. On the other hand, NIT Surathkal is a government college. So it won’t be correct to compare the two. Both have their own pros and cons.

I am listing below the strengths of each-

  • NIT Surathkal-
  • It has affordable fees which are much lower than BITS colleges.
  • It has a strong alumni network as it was established in 1960. The alumni network of BITS colleges is quite strong too.
  • It is situated in the beautiful western ghats and has a private beach of its own.
  • The campus life is great. There are good extracurricular facilities.
  • BITS Hyderabad
  • As it is a private college, it has better infrastructure and faculty than NITK.
  • It has a better hostel and mess facility.
  • The peer groups are better at BITS Hyderabad. This is because it admits students purely on a merit basis.
  • There is no minimum attendance criteria at BITS Hyderabad.

Both the colleges are well-renowned. You can choose either of them for your higher studies, based on your personal preferences.

Which is better Nirma university or LD?

IM
Ishika Mitra Posted On : July 16th, 2021

~

It entirely depends on your future plan. If you can afford Nirma and don’t have any plan to pursue further studies after B.Tech then go for Nirma University.

However, if you want to pursue higher education, and you have confidence that you can learn on your own, then LD will definitely be a better choice.

LD gives its students a lot of freedom to work on their interests while maintaining their CGPA which plays a huge amount of role in further studies.

The other factor that is crucial is the alumni of the college. LD College alumni network is huge and a lot of notable alumni are based in both India and abroad. When talking about alumni, Nirma stands no chance as LD was established way before Nirma.

Here is a brief comparison of the institutes.

Category Nirma University LD
Companies Visited L&T, Biocon, Dabur, etc. Atul, Adani, Tata Chemicals, etc.
Highest Package 46.27 LPA 10 LPA
Average Package 8 LPA 4 LPA

Therefore, you should take your decision thoroughly and wisely whether you must spend approximately eight lakhs for four years or you should spend 6000 for four years with one institution being older than the others along with huge alumni and a great brand name.

Is there any attendance issue in Hansraj College DU?

NP
Niharika Panchal, Posted On : October 30th, 2021
studied from Hansraj College, University of Delhi (2015)

No, there is no attendance issue at Hansraj College. Attendance carries 5 marks in internal marks. But most of the students do not pay much attention to it. 

They feel it is better to enjoy your campus life than secure the 5 marks because it could also be scored at the end of semesters which ultimately balances it out.

Sheel Saurabh Balley Posted On : October 21st, 2022
BA from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

IGNOU uses a credit system, and in order to get an Hons, a student must have 48 credits in that subject, which means taking 6 papers of 8 credits over the course of three years.

In the case of English, below is a chart that includes the course name and code:

BEGE 101 - From Language to Literature

BEGE 102 - The Structure of Modern English

BEGE 103 - Communication Skills in English

BEGE 104 - English for Business Communication

BEGE 105 - Understanding Prose

BEGE 106 - Understanding Poetry

BEGE 107 - Understanding Drama

BEGE 108 - Reading the Novel

You will notice that there are eight papers, each worth eight credits; students pursuing a major (Hons) should select any six of these eight papers (2 papers each year)

Students can only take up to 48 credits in a single subject.

Aside from the major papers, there are two compulsory courses in the first and second years: BSHF 101 and FST-1. Other elective courses must be chosen from the Program Guide's list or groups.

Which one is better: IIT Roorkee or IIT BHU?

RS
Raghavendra Sachdeva Posted On : February 16th, 2022
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee

For undergraduate courses, the comparison between IIT BHU and IIT Roorkee is kind of pointless. Since both institutes are well-reputed institutes. The faculty base and facilities offered to students for undergraduate courses are almost similar. The required cutoff for admission at both institutes is almost the same. 

Although in terms of placement IIT BHU is a little ahead of IIT Roorkee.

How are placements of Ch. Brahm Prakash Government Engineering College?

LB
Lakshmi Bist Posted On : April 28th, 2021
Studied at CBP Government Engineering College,Delhi (2020)

Placements are not great here at Ch. Brahm Prakash Government Engineering College. If you are planning on securing admission, you need to study hard as well as be good at coding. My advice to you would be to try securing an off-campus placement.

Up till 2017, the student’s opinion was that the placements here are in the negatives or almost close to zero. However, during that period the administration had not taken enough effort to ensure that students are placed. 

Now that the principal has changed, the scenario has definitely improved quite a bit. Although keeping in mind that the college is relatively new, the placements have not drastically improved. 

  • The highest package offered to students in the year 2018-2019 was about INR 4 lakhs per annum in the IT branch and about INR 6 lakhs per annum for the civil branch. 
  • The rest of the branches received a salary of INR 3.6 to 3 lakhs per annum.
  • If you are looking for extremely high pay like that offered at IITs, you should probably rethink your decision of going here. 
  • The placement scenario is definitely improving but it is not as good as you would expect it to be.

The students of the civil engineering branch are getting trained by reputed government agencies and aptitude tests for placements. You can expect to get placed in this case. However, as far as IT is concerned, you will have to get a letter signed by the authorities and find your own internship and job. Here, you can think of focusing on your coding skills or as mentioned in the job skills required and prepare for the same.

What should be the order of preference for branches in Thapar University?

DC
Dhruv Chowdhury Posted On : August 3rd, 2023
studied at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (2020)

Trust me when I say there is no fixed order of preference for branches. The choice of branches is a very subjective matter and depends solely on your inclinations and future prospects. 

Choosing a branch just because it has good opportunities and everyone is running for it does not mean it will be the perfect one for you. I have seen many students take CSE just because of the hype and then regret it later as they realize they have no interest in coding. I will suggest 

  • Go for core branches like electrical and Civil if you aren’t sure of your interest and just want to land a stable government job. 
  • Go for easy and light branches like chemistry if you are willing to pursue MBA. 
  • Go for CSE or ECE, if your only goal is getting high packages in top companies. 

So my personal preference order looks like this.

CSE>Software>IT>ECE >Electrical >EIC>Civil>Chemical>Biotechnology 

Hope this was helpful!
