Why are DASA students so overrated in NIT Calicut?
One of my cousins was in NIT, Calicut and he had amazing DASA friends and none of them are overrated. If anyone feels that way it may be because of the fancy English and accents.A few students do get in the limelight though. The most obvious of reasons is their communication abilities in the 'English', which most of the other fellow mates find amusing.
It is okay if we don’t focus on these gibberish facts and we progress ahead from these superficialities and value people for their talent instead.
As, the international reputation of colleges depends on the number of international students. So, DASA students help in increasing the ranking of colleges.
- It would surprise one that they are not given discounts and scholarships.
- This narrow mentality is the reason only three colleges from India rank in the top 100.
So, on the other hand, look for people, who really do significant work. But deep down the feeling you have in your own inability to gauge the fact that you are lending them this so-called aura and thinking of yourself to be less capable. You may think this is what it takes but think again. This overrated affair is quite hollow, I guess.

What should I prefer: IT at NIT Raipur or a CS at IIIT Jabalpur?
Nowadays, engineering aspirants give more importance to the brand and tag of the college rather than the academic ambiance they offer. Like sheep in a herd, they flock to colleagues that have higher rankings and give them a tag to boast about in the process, They forget that for education, the tag does not matter.
IIITs are the most neglected institutes in this process. IIITs like Jabalpur, Allahabad, Kancheepuram, and Gwalior have been set up by MHRD that focus primarily on studies in the IT sector, unlike NITs that cater to various branches of engineering. IIITs thus have a CS-oriented culture, curriculum, and opportunities. This may not be the case for NITs that have many branches.
Although NIT Raipur is older than IIIT Jabalpur, it's not at par with IIIT Jabalpur at least in terms of its Computer Science education. IIIT Jabalpur has much better placements for the CSE department than the IT branch of NIT Raipur. Moreover, IIIT Jabalpur has collaboration with Universities in Japan, unlike NIT Raipur.
Here is a brief comparative analysis of both institutes
|
Particulars |
NIT Raipur |
HBTU |
|
Fees |
INR 1.41 Lakhs (BTech 1st Year Fees) |
INR 1.59 Lakhs (BTech 1st Year Fees) |
|
Highest CTC |
- |
INR 82 LPA |
|
Average CTC |
INR 10.1 LPA |
INR 21.63 LPA |
|
Top Recruiters |
Wipro, Capgemini, Infosys, Adobe, Aditya Birla Group etc. |
EXL, Flipkart, Jio, JSW, Samsung, TCS, Cred, Cummins, etc. |
So, IIIT Jabalpur would be a better option.
Is it better joining IIM Trichy (new IIM) rather than joining Infosys as a system engineer?
Preparing for the CAT again is a hefty task and requires a lot of motivation. So I will suggest that you forgo your offer to join only under the following circumstances
- You have a good past academic record. IIMs lay great weight on past academics and it is something that cannot be changed even after getting 100 percentile in CAT.
- If you are confident that you can prepare for your CAT alongside working at Infosys. That company is said to have an enormous workload so you need to be sure that you can prepare for CAT efficiently simultaneously.
- If you are targeting older IIMs like A,B,C,K,L
If your situation does not involve any of the three cases then going for IIM Trichy is a wise decision. It’s a second-generation IIM and older than the newly established IIMs. Moreover, you will still get the IIM tag, and chances are that by the time you pass out from the institute, it has gained more reputation.
