Should I opt for CSE at IIIT Bangalore or EE at IIT Madras, Delhi, Kanpur, KGP, or Roorkee?

SK
Sanjana Kapoor Posted On : October 9th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

The number and standard of companies visiting IIT Bangalore is as good as the top IITs. With an amazing research culture and a strong alumni network too, its reputation is almost at par with top engineering colleges in India. However, IIIT Bangalore students lack the choice for higher studies. Moreover, there are exclusive interviews from companies like JPMorgan Chase. 

Both have their unique strengths and weaknesses. The IIIT curriculum is very challenging while if you join IIT, you would have to manage 2 subjects at the same time.

I will suggest you go for IITs inky if you have no interest in CSE and want to pursue higher studies. But if you are interested in research work, IIIT Bangalore is the best option for you. As for the IITs, you can refer to the following preference order if you have no specific preference over location 

Delhi> Madras> Kanpur>KGP> Roorkee 

Hope this helps you!

How is the Life of a MBBS student at MAMC Delhi?

RM
Ridham Mishra Posted On : October 5th, 2023
MBBS from Maulana Azad Medical College (2020)

MAMC Delhi is one of the most prestigious medical colleges of India and offers an excellent campus life to its MBBS students. Although the authorities will claim its a rigging free college, the reality is you will have to entertain the seniors to a certain extent. There have been instances when juniors have been asked to dance and sing for their seniors. Some might be banned from the library for being a nerd. However, never let your guard down, and always maintain your dignity. 

The food is very cheap and tasty. The Nescafe Point serves a variety of snacks and coffees and many other delicacies can be bought from the Departmental Canteen. The college has no caste-based discrimination and there is excellent harmony between the peers. You won't face any major language issues here irrespective of whichever part of India you hail from. 

The schedule isn't very hectic and students are given a 15-day break for Christmas and New Year. There are enough holidays to plan trips or visit home occasionally.

Do I have a chance of making it to IIM Ahmedabad if I scored 81% in 10th and 62 in 12th science?

PR
Parth Reddy Posted On : May 17th, 2023
Studied at IIM Ahmedabad

To be very honest, considering your class 10th and 12th marks, your chances of making it into IIM Ahmedabad are very bleak especially if you are a general category student. 

IIM Ahmedabad has certain criteria pertaining to class 10th and 12th marks. Under this, it’s necessary for the average of 10th and 12th to be greater than 

  • 80% in the Science stream
  • 77% in the Commerce stream
  • 75% in the Arts and Humanities stream

So, with your academic profile, even a 100 percentile in CAT will not fetch you a call from IIM Ahmedabad. However, you can go for top B Schools like FMS Delhi, SP Jain, MDI Gurugram, etc. that give more preference to CAT scores than par academic performance.

How good is IIT Hyderabad? I am getting Electrical Engineering at IITH? How is the campus life?

PK
Pravesh Kumar Posted On : May 9th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad

IIT Hyderabad is a new IIT that has been growing at a fast pace and is expected to reach the level of older IITs in no time. Its EE Department is excellent with a good updated curriculum. Unlike older IITs, the courses covered are industry relevant and that’s what sets it apart from the EE department of other IITs. 

Its syllabus includes various Electronics as well as Electrical courses. Additionally, it contains Machine Learning, sound processing using Python and R, Internet of Things(IoT), and home automation also. 

IIT Hyderabad Campus  

IIT Hyderabad campus

The courses are much more advanced in comparison to courses offered in the EE Department of other IITs that just revolve around generators, motors, and outdated heavy machines. The new IITs may lack in other aspects but their curriculum is modern and useful.

Infrastructure-wise, IIT Hyderabad is a bit lacking considering the fact that it's still in the developing phase. The hostels of the new campus are great with radiant cooling systems. However, the campus lacks greenery and much-needed sports facilities.

AS
Ashmita Sinha Posted On : April 3rd, 2023
Masters from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

There are no specific placements for VLSI, Communication, or Signal Processing and companies offer job profiles generally under the Electrical Engineering department. For instance, a company like Intel comes for placements, it will seek MTech and Dual Degree students from the Electrical branch generally and not Communication Engineering specifically.

For getting profiles in the Semiconductor domain, you should be proficient in at least one coding language and must have completed related courses such as Digital IC design, DSP Architecture, Embedded systems, DSP Mapping algorithms, etc.

A huge number of companies offering roles in various profiles visit the campus some major being 

  • INTEL
  • Qualcomm
  • Samsung
  • Analog Devices
  • AMD
  • Micron Semiconductor
  • Cisco systems
  • Huawei
  • Sony Japan

Should residents of Ahmedabad skip IIM Ahmedabad, to avoid constant disturbance from family members, and try for IIM Calcutta or IIM Bangalore instead?

PT
Prateek Tade Posted On : November 23rd, 2022
M.B.A. from Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (Graduated 2021)

I wouldn’t say that as a student of IIM Ahmedabad and also a resident of Ahmedabad, visits from your family members will be a problem. This is because the maximum duration of your day will be spent in classes, studying for exams or assignments. You will not even have the time to be disturbed by your family members. It’s not that big of a factor that might change your decision to go to IIM Calcutta or Bangalore rather than IIM Ahmedabad. Moreover chances are that you might face some health issues and it's to your advantage as an Ahmedabad resident that your family members will tend to you so that you can recover quickly.

How is the overall percentage calculated in IGNOU BSc in zoology?

SS
Sophia Singh Posted On : November 2nd, 2022
B.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering, National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal (2020)

IGNOU BSc has 2 types of subjects - Theory and Practical. It’s further divided into - Assignments and Term end theory exams.

In order to calculate total marks in a paper out of 100 - Assignment marks* 0.3 + Theory marks*0.7. The calculated sum will be your overall marks out of 100.

To know the actual marks that will be on your marks sheet follow this rule:

For theory-

  • If it is a 4 credits course divide the marks by 2.

  • If it is a six-credit course, divide it by 4/3.

  • If it is a 2 credit course divide it by 4

  • This is because 8,6,4,2 credit courses have total marks out of 100, 75, 50 & 25 respectively.

For practical-

It has two parts - Lab 1 and Lab 2

Total marks out of 100 = Lab 1 mark*0.7 + Lab 2 marks*0.3. To calculate total marks follow the same rule mentioned above. Total credits in BSc-96

Therefore total marks will be 96/8=12 hundred.=1200

Net percentage will be = Total marks out of 1200 /Twelve hundred multiplied by 100 .

  • The placement of IT and CSE branches are quite good. 
  • From my experience, the faculty is also quite well versed, cooperative and good.
