Why are IIT Guwahati people competing with IIT Roorkee and IIT BHU people?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : May 3rd, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Based on different factors, you can categorize the IITs into various groups. For example, academically, the top IITs are IIT Kanpur, IIT KGP, and IIT Bombay. Similarly, IIT Guwahati is known for its top-notch accommodation facilities with single rooms allotted to every student. The campus encompassed by natural beauty is second only to IIT Roorkee. 

Universities like IIT BHU and IT BHU despite being old, haven’t been able to reach the level of IIT Kanpur or Kharagpur. However, it does give a slight edge to IIT Delhi in terms of academics 

Honestly, every student is aware of the actual credibility of his institute and chooses it anyway. 

Either the Institute aligns with his preferences or that particular IIT was the only IIT he could make it into. So IITians don’t usually fight amongst themselves unless it’s an outsider trying to trigger them.

Which is better, IIIT Pune or IIIT Sri City?

SK
Saloni Kaushik Posted On : March 19th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Pune (2021)

Among the above two institutes, IIIT Pune is the definite choice, considering a number of factors including IT industry exposure, internal competition, and overall development in the institutes. I know a few people from both institutes, so I can give you an idea about them.

Location:(Winning Institution - IIIT Pune)

  • Presently, Pune is considered to be a large IT hub, with offices of several companies from different sectors too. In 2018, Pune was listed as the second most paying city for software engineering jobs in India, after Bangalore. 
  • For research-minded students, there are several institutes in Pune including the National Chemical Laboratory, and the Indian Institute of Science, Education, and Research (IISER, Pune). This will give you a bundle of opportunities.
  • Pune is a metropolitan city in itself, whereas Sri City is 74 km away from the closest metropolitan city, Chennai.

Student Intake:

IIIT Pune takes in a total of 120 students per year, 60 in CSE, and 60 in ECE. On the other hand, IIIT Sri City takes in 270 students per year, 200 students in CSE, and 70 in ECE. Therefore, it is evident that a lesser number of students will get better attention from professors, less internal competition, more opportunities, and a focused learning experience.

Mentor Institute:

IIIT Pune’s mentor institute (College of Engineering, Pune) is located in Pune itself, whereas IIIT Sri City’s mentor institute is IIIT Hyderabad, 608 km away from it. So it is easier for IIIT Pune students to attend mentor institute events, lectures, and facilities.

Extra-curricular:

Students from IIIT Pune have excelled in several sports events too, like IIT BHU’s Spardha. There are several Coding, Robotics, and technical events in which IIIT Pune students excel.

Future Development:

  • The growth pace of IIIT Pune is very fast. With a number of hardworking students and dedicated professors, IIIT Pune will soon reach a good height and will be considered a leading institute.
  • The 100-acre campus construction of IIIT Pune will get completed, which is being set up in between the city’s core industrial zone. After IIIT Pune receives its own director, the growth rate is bound to increase and so is the development of the institute.

Considering all of the above factors, IIIT Pune is a definitely better choice, providing several opportunities to students in the industry and research fields.

What is the daily routine at CGC Landran?

PT
Prachi Thakur Posted On : May 30th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science Engineering, Chandigarh Engineering College (2019)

A few of my friends are CGC Landran alumni and their rutin at the institute was somewhat like the following. 

  • Students lined in a queue near washrooms early in the morning at 06:30-07:00 AM. 
  • Reaching mess for breakfast.
  • Getting ready. Tuesdays and Thursdays are meant for uniform/casual.
  • 4 lectures to be attended from 09:15-12:05 PM (Group 1)
  • 5 lectures to be attended from 09:15-12:55 PM (Group 2)
  • Group 1 lunch break is from 12:05-12:55 PM. While group 2 lunch break is from 12:55-01:45 PM
  • Prolonged classes till 04:30 PM after lunchtime. 
  • 04:30-05:00 PM is snack time.
  • Head back to your room and study or play video games like- mini militia or counter strike. 
  • 07:30-09:00 PM is dinner time.
  • You can wander around the campus, but make sure you report before 10 PM.

Next morning, you have the same routine which continues till Friday. College is off on Saturdays and Sundays. This routine that I have mentioned goes on for the next 3 years. Till then, you'd be categorized as seniors and prone to mass-bunks. Plus when you're in your 4th year of college, your timings would just be from 09:30 to 02:00 PM.

Once a year the institute celebrates Parivartan fest, sports day, Baishaki festival, etc. Each branch also has its separate fests in which students from different branches can take part. All in all life at CGC Landran will be quite fun.

SA
Subham Agarwal Posted On : April 22nd, 2023
Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad

When considering the differences between the I.T. course in IIIT Allahabad and the CSE course taught in other similar colleges, there are a few factors to keep in mind.

Placement Opportunities:

  • If you are considering the two courses in terms of placement opportunities, then the answer is "YES", as the I.T. course in IIIT Allahabad is known to offer better placement opportunities compared to other similar colleges.
  • The institute has a good reputation and is considered one of the premier engineering colleges in the country, which is reflected in the quality of companies that visit the campus for recruitment.
  • Additionally, IIIT Allahabad has a strong alumni network, which can also be helpful in securing job opportunities.

Course Structure:

  • If you are considering the two courses in terms of course structure, the answer is "NO", as the core curriculum for I.T. in IIIT Allahabad and CSE in other colleges is similar.
  • However, more than 80% of the course content is similar between the two courses, so one can consider the courses to be approximately the same.
  • The course content is designed to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge required to succeed in the field of computer science and engineering.

Other factors to consider:

  • IIIT Allahabad offers a unique academic environment that promotes research and innovation. Students are encouraged to take part in various research projects and initiatives, which can help them gain valuable experience and exposure in their field.
  • IIIT Allahabad has a strong focus on practical learning, with an emphasis on hands-on projects and real-world applications of the concepts learned in class.
  • The institute also offers a range of extracurricular activities, such as clubs and societies, that provide students with opportunities to explore their interests and develop their skills outside of the classroom.

In summary, while the I.T. course in IIIT Allahabad and the CSE course taught in other similar colleges may be similar in terms of course structure, the placement opportunities and other factors make IIIT Allahabad a unique and highly-regarded institution. Ultimately, the choice between the two courses will depend on your personal goals and preferences.

What is the frequency of holidays and vacations in AIIMS Delhi?

NA
Neha Awasthi Posted On : May 1st, 2026

AIIMS Delhi holidays and vacations:

AIIMS Delhi follows a strict academic calendar given the nature of medical education:

  • MBBS students: very limited holidays compared to engineering/arts colleges. the clinical rotations are essentially year-round
  • Annual leave: approximately 30-40 days of formal holidays per year including national holidays, Diwali, Holi, summer break (usually 2-3 weeks)
  • During clinical postings (3rd-5th year MBBS): leaves are minimal. attendance is strictly monitored. taking unplanned leaves can affect your posting
  • Interns/residents: even more restricted — leave entitlement is formal (casual leaves, earned leaves) applied through department

compared to other colleges, AIIMS has a high workload and limited leisure time — this is the nature of medical training. the AIIMS academic calendar is demanding by design. students who chose AIIMS know this is part of the deal. the academic intensity is high but the training quality is also proportionally excellent.

Is it wise to leave IIT Delhi for CSE in IIIT Hyderabad?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 3rd, 2023
lives in New Delhi

I am assuming that you got CSE at IIT Delhi. As per my research, for CSE, IIIT Hyderabad is at par with the top 5 IITs in this field (Madras, Delhi, Bombay, Kanpur, and Kharagpur). According to the three possibilities listed below, choose the right college for your B.Tech CSE-

  • You are passionate about CSE and care in the least for brand name and course fee- In this case, choose IIIT Hyderabad. Its coding culture is one of the best in India and is praised by even the IITians. The results of ACM-ICPC and GSoC selections from IIIT Hyderabad are a proof of the same.
  • You are not as passionate about CSE, and course fee and brand name are more important for you- In this case, choose one among the top 5 IITs because they have a smaller course fee for CSE and carry the IIT tag.
  • You love CSE but are also worried about the fee and brand name- In this case too, I would suggest you choose one among the top 5 IITs, not because of quality education, placements and research opportunities, all of which you will also get at IIIT H, but for the IIT tag.

As far as CSE placements are concerned, they are as good at IIIT H, as any IIT. At IIIT H, you are sure to get placed in a tech profile. A good number of tech companies visit the IIIT H campus for placements, at par with the top IITs.

Thus, based on your personal preference you can choose between IIT Delhi and IIIT Hyderabad for your CSE.
