How is life at Manipal University Jaipur?

SB
Samanarukh Bhat Posted On : June 8th, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engg. at Manipal Univ Jaipur (2018)

My friend is an alumnus of Manipal University Jaipur. Here are some snippets of her experience.

Curriculum:

My friend is from the CSE department. According to her, the curriculum is well-designed but she did have some gripes. Automata Theory and Compiler Design are clubbed together in the syllabus which does not give the scope to explore the Compiler Design part in depth. Open electives are not given much emphasis. The syllabus is vast but the topics are not discussed in detail.

Facilities:

The college has also tied to Coursera so that most courses with a credential can be accessed for free. You get one free year of Azure Cloud, and a Matlab student license is also available at the college if you want it.

Peer Group:

You will get to meet people from all over the country. The coding culture at the campus is great. You will find students working on C++ meta programs, Unity games, script kiddies, robotics, etc. There are students who have cracked GSoC, won hackathons, even went abroad to conduct research.

Faculty: Although the view regarding faculties is subjective, my friend only had good things to say about the CSE faculties.

Events: The quality of events has improved over the years. It conducts many hackathons around the academic year. Every year the institute also conducts TedXMUJ.

Internships:

  • There are a lot of start-ups in Manipal, so securing an internship is not that difficult.
  • Companies like Dell also conduct hackathons to select students for internships.
  • There’s also IAESTE LC MUJ, a student-run function of IAESTE. Through which you can get internships in foreign countries such as Turkey, Germany, Poland, etc.

Placements: The average salary package was 5.3 LPA while the highest recorded CTC was 42 LPA.

MS Opportunities: There are many students from the institute doing their MS from institutes like Cornell, University of Texas, Carnegie Mellon, and others.

The hostel facility is great and Manipal as a city is quite vibrant. You will definitely have a good time at the institute.

I want to pursue MBA from Thapar University. Is it a good option?

NM
Naman Mishra Posted On : August 10th, 2021
Studied at Jadavpur University (2019)

MBA from Thapar University will entail both the good and the bad. One of my friends studies at Thapar University in the MBA program and this is what he has to say:

  • An MBA from Thapar University is good if it is the only option you have and would not like to take another shot at scoring a better institute. 
  • My cousin graduated with an Engineering degree from Thapar and it was a spectacular experience for him. 
  • In fact, Thapar University is well known for its engineering programs more than any other discipline.
  • During placements, companies recruit on the basis of these factors Brand name and profile. 
  • If both fit rightly then you can get a very good referral.
  • Alternatively, if you have had a meaningful experience, professionally, then that speaks as well.
  • The MBA program is not well known at Thapar. 
  • Also, because the engineering department charges very high fees, the MBA program does that too. 
  • The ROI will not be good.

Finally, if you or any of your friends are thinking of pursuing an MBA in Thapar University, then please rethink your requirements.

How is taking CSE at BIT Sindri? Is it better than studying production, metallurgy and chemicals?

RR
Roshni Roy Posted On : April 16th, 2021
B.tech Civil Engineering, Birsa Institute of Technology, Sindri (2019)

First of all, it is one of the most sought out branches here in BIT Sindri, so definitely if you are studying CSE and the world of coding fascinates you then go for it. Without a doubt, I can say that if you are good at coding and you are really passionate about it then the college doesn't matter much because there are many good online courses and competitions available to prove your skills.

Categories

CSE at BIT Sindri

Course Fee

1.17 lakh

Placement Percentage

80-90%

Highest CTC

12 LPA

Average CTC

4-5 LPA

Recruiting Companies

TCS, IBM, Deloitte, Amazon, Tata Steel, Vedanta, etc.

In terms of placements, you will be placed, but not in the companies you desire. Metallurgical engineering clearly outperforms the competition. To be honest, production and chemicals are not great, but it also depends on the person, as I have seen my seniors from these branches get placements in Vedanta and Tata with good salary packages.

Where do NIT Trichy students go for their internships?

SP
Shrija Param Posted On : July 20th, 2023
NIT Trichy

The internship offers provided to the students of NIT Trichy depend on the branch they belong to. Companies offering internship opportunities visit the campus right from the beginning of the third year. 

  • Most management and marketing companies allow students of all branches to sit for placements.
  • IT giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Uber usually prefer CSE students.
  • Companies like Nvidia, and  Qualcomm prefer students from EEE, ICE, and CSE. 
  • MME students are offered very limited internship opportunities from core companies like Tata Steel, Reliance, etc

As a general trend, it is observed that CSE students receive internship offers more easily in comparison to students of other branches. Off-campus internships are also available but the pay scale offered might be less.

Which is better, BITS Goa CS or Hyderabad CS?

TG
Tridha Gupta Posted On : July 30th, 2022
B.Tech Computer Science, Manipal Institute Of Technology (2021)

BITS Hyderabad CS is a better option. Although BITS Goa is older, the CS program on the Hyderabad campus went through rapid growth in a very short time. The reason can be ascribed to the location advantage. Hyderabad is a cybercity, so it's easier for students to get projects, internships, and placement opportunities. 

The 2022 statistics of BITS Hyderabad placements show the average CTC for CS to be around INR 22 LPA. The highest CTC offered for CS, this year was INR 43 LPA. MNCs like Apple, Google, Amazon, Adobe, etc. visit the placement drive of BITS Hyderabad regularly.

What department in MNNIT Allahabad has the best faculty?

RB
Ramesh Banerjee Posted On : April 29th, 2021
Studied at Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad (2019)

Mechanical Engineering Department in MNNIT has the best faculties. However, the following are the reasons for this consideration.

  • Professors of this department are mostly highly qualified. However, a majority of them have done Ph.D., on the contrary of CSED.
  • Besides, the professors from the Mechanical Department of MNNIT are also well-experienced.
  • Most of them have a research profile, which influences the student’s mind towards the research-based work and study. They are also very helpful; if you want to pursue a research-oriented study, they welcome it from the heart.

Moreover, the most dissatisfactory thing about this department is the lack of cheering the students. My friend told me that he never saw anyone from his batch work on a research-based project or doing any further research-related studies.

Which one is a better college to pursue an MBA: LBSIM -Delhi or BIM-Trichy?

AP
Alok Patel Posted On : July 5th, 2021
Studied at Bharathidasan Institute of Management, Trichy

This is always a tough question to answer. You can consider a number of assumptions in order to shortlist the business school you would like to go to. You can compare the one you like to them and make your decision:

  • Assumption 1: Business schools presently are student-driven and this mostly has nothing to do with the faculty, infrastructure, or even the knowledge capital for that matter. The classroom is the place that will facilitate you with all these opportunities and knowledge will be disseminated here. This needs to be applied to activities outside the classroom as well.
  • Assumption 2: Alumni are an important factor for colleges. Because of alumni connections, a lot of places like FMS, JBIMS, IMT Ghaziabad are quite well-known business schools.
  • Assumption 3: Part of who you become also depends on what activities you choose to pursue in college. These include clubs and committees, business school events, or if you choose to only focus on academics and get a good CGPA. This will surely help you get good placements.
  • Assumption 4: Sometimes, the location of the school will also play to your advantage. For eg. Mumbai or Delhi located B-schools.
  • Assumption 5: You should also know that rankings do not matter for the top 10 to 15 schools.
  • Assumption 6: The placements are dependent upon the alumni base and past history. Most companies that come for repeat recruitments are usually less than 50% for most business schools. Every year it comes down to reinvention and it boils down to the alumni. But, in reality, placements are hard work and luck with a 30:70 ratio. There are also the usual perceptions that some schools are better in marketing and others are good in finance, etc.

You should choose wisely and make your decision accordingly.
