Which college is better for CS, IIT Kanpur or IIIT Hyderabad?
IIT Kanpur is well-known for its cutting-edge research, vibrant coding culture, and successful placements. Students rush to it because of its coding culture, which is sometimes compared to that of IIT Bombay.
I will recommend you go for IIT Kanpur. Here are a few reasons that justify my opinion:-
- The IIT tag is more valuable than the IIIT brand name, and most employers prefer IIT graduates over students from other engineering universities.
- You'll have two excellent department buildings with excellent infrastructure.
- With so many assignments and course projects under your belt, you'd have a huge list of project accomplishments.
- You would have some fantastic lecturers and courses.
- IIT Kanpur has an NIRF ranking of 4th, with IIIT Hyderabad at 55th.
- More than 250 companies like Plutus Research, Kivi Capital, and NVIDIA FVE visited IIT Kanpur campus in 2023.
Which one is better: IEM Kolkata or HIT Kolkata for IT?
IEM Kolkata ranks higher than HIT Kolkata in various rankings. But when it comes to placement, both the institute have similar placement statistics. An almost similar set of IT mass recruit companies visit both te campuses with the same CTC.
Here is a brief overview of the IT program offered by the institutes.

How’s ECE at SVNIT Surat?
I have a close friend who studied from here, according to her experience, the preference order for branches at NIT Surathkal among students is as follows.
CS>Mech>Electrical~ECE
ECE - Highlights:
- Faculty- The lecturers are helpful and knowledgeable. But the faculty for other branches is better than ECE. Students aiming for CGPA above 9 should work hard.
- Subjects- The subjects covered in the course are quite interesting. You will have a chance to core electronics, communication, programming, and the electrical side.
- Placements- There is no big core company for ECE grad. in Surat, still, the on-campus placements are fine. John Deere, Master Card, and Airtel, and some software companies like JPMC, Carwale, etc are some of the recruiters for this course.
The main reason for ECE being behind Mechanical is top-quality professors, core companies, being one of the oldest branches & huge class strength. ECE is not behind mechanical but mechanical is way ahead of ECE in SVNIT.

Why do the IIIT Hyderabad bags the highest salary amongst IITs and IIITs?
It's true that IIIT Hyderabad students secure better packages than top IIT students. In fact, the average package of IITs for instance IIT Bombay is INR 23.26 LA whereas that of IIIT Hyderabad is INR 32 LPA. There are a number of factors that have resulted in this difference in packages.
- IIIT-Hyderabad students have always been in demand by many foreign companies and Indian corporates. IT giants like Facebook and Apple initially only approached IIIT Hyderabad for placements and slowly made their way to IITs.
- The highly research-focused education churns out graduates who are better suited to solve unstructured problems, exploring options by themselves. This is what most companies are looking for.
- IIIT Hyderabad’s unique course structure in which all the courses are CS tailored plays an important role in preparing students for jobs in MNCs.
- course structure makes a big difference in median salaries
- Another reason why IIIT Hyderabad has a higher average package is that it has only 2 branches, ECE and CSE. It's a no-brainer that CSE receives the highest package in every institute so the institute that offers only CSE and ECE automatically tends to have a higher average package than an institute that has a variety of branches. Because of a wide range of branches, the average packages offered in top IITs get diluted.
In a refuted claim, IIT-Madras's Director, Bhaskar Ramamurthi states that ‘if we compare similar cohorts and discipline-wise median salaries, IIT graduates are likely to have higher median salaries’.
Does it make sense going for a 2-year MBA from IIM-Ahmedabad/Calcutta at 29 years of age?
does an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad or IIM Calcutta make sense at 29 years of age?
yes, it absolutely makes sense — and is actually quite common:
- the average work experience at IIM A/B/C is typically 2-4 years. but 7-8 years of experience (which 29-year-olds might have) is also present in every cohort
- older students with more work experience bring richer classroom contributions and often get higher-paying leadership roles post-MBA
- at 29, post-MBA careers will run for 30+ years — plenty of time to realize the ROI
- IIM A/B/C doesn't have an age cutoff. CAT performance + work experience + interview determines admission, not age
key considerations at 29:
- ROI calculation: 2-year salary break + Rs.25-30L fees vs. potential Rs.40-80 LPA average packages post-MBA. math usually works out
- family considerations: if married/with dependents, 2-year pause is a bigger decision. plan finances
- career goals: if your goal is moving to consulting, PE, VC, or senior management roles faster — IIM MBA at 29 remains a powerful catalyst
many successful IIM graduates joined at 29-32. age should not deter you from applying to IIMs.
Which one is better for CSE: NIT Silchar, NIT Hamirpur or UPES Dehradun?
NIT Silchar seems to be a better option for CSE than NIT Hamirpur and UPES Dehradun. Here are some unique aspects of NIT Silchar that make it stand apart from these colleges

- Additionally, it was awarded the award of best engineering college in eastern India by the leading industry body ASSOCHAM in the National Education Excellence Awards 2014.

- NIT Silchar has the honor of receiving some valuable comments from the President of India.
- NIT Silchar is one of the 3 NITs that have a supercomputer.
- NIT Silchar is above many NITs in the MHRD rankings so it should be given high preference.

What is the admission process for Shaheed Sukhdev college of business studies?
Candidates must have completed class 12th from any recognized board of education with at least 60% marks in the best four subjects, which must include Mathematics and English, to be eligible to apply for the Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS) and Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) programs offered at Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies.
At CBS, there are two admissions processes:
Merit-based B.SC. (Computer Science) and entrance-based (BBA(FIA) and BMS).
To be admitted to Merit-based courses, you must meet the cutoff.
Every year, DU holds an entrance exam known as the DU-JAT for admission to entrance-based courses in SSCBS, administered by NTA. Admission to the BBA course with a specialization in Financial Investment Analysis is based on the score obtained in the test. The paper includes business-related Mathematics, Reasoning, English, and General Knowledge. Those who have cleared the entrance are called in.
However, the entrance exam is not the only admission criterion. When calculating the final score, the admission test score is given 65% weightage, while class 12th marks are given 35% weightage. You must await the university test notification. However, ensure that you are capable of succeeding in any situation.
How are the placements for CSE and ECE at BVBCET (KLE Technological University)?
KLE Technological University placements are good for CSE and ECE. Around 95% of students from these branches get placed each year. The highest CTC offered to the students of these branches is around INR 30 LPA. While the average CTC stays around INR 6.5 LPA.

What is the scope and benefit of the Masters in Business Laws (MBL) course from NLSIU?
Masters in Business Law (MBL) from NLSIU is not UGC recognized. If you are an average student willing to pursue this, it is suggested that you look for other options. This is because passing is a tiring task here., it will gradually become harder to drag it for the remaining years. You also have to pay an extension fee of INR 5000 every year.
There are better courses available. Do some market research and then apply, do not get excited with just the brand name NLSIU. This course also has no market value. Companies prefer regular courses or professional courses.
