What are the disadvantages of joining IIIT Sri city?
There are few disadvantages of opting for IIIT Sri City. Their secluded location, lack of campus, weak management committee are to name a few. Let us consider each of them to assess if IIIT Sri City is worth opting for or not.
Isolated location:
On paper, they do mention the location being an industrial city but it's of no benefit for students.
- There are no good spots to hang out with friends, party, or enjoy. The closest city is Chennai which is 70Kms away.
- Transportation facilities are also not up to the expectations.
Poor management:
The management committee is one of the biggest drawbacks of IIIT Sri City. Many lab equipment which has been approved by the committee and being funded on paper have never made it into labs. Facilities which they promised during admissions are barely met.
Campus:
Till 2018, there was no permanent campus and even after constructing one, all the necessities are barely met.
Lack of student participation:
Being in a fairly new college, it's the responsibility of students of the first few batches to participate actively in each and every event, represent the college at higher levels, and give some tough competition in placements. But again due to poor management, students are not well informed about anything which has led to developing disinterest among students.
Attendance:
It is compulsory to have 85% attendance or else you will lose your grades. The other 15% coverup barely 6-8 classes. It is okay to have some restrictions on attendance but 85% is a bit too much. Even those classes in which faculties are absent will be counted in the total number of classes.
Apart from these, there are few complaints about faculties, internet facilities, cafeteria and many more which are manageable. So, these are few drawbacks of IIIT Sri City which you must consider before joining.
What are the advantages of studying an MBA in Gauhati University? How are the hostel facilities for MBA students, and how is the MBA placement records in Gauhati university? I mean lowest and highest
Some of my friends attended Gauhati University. According to their experience, the university offers a decent MBA program. The degree course is not that competitive, but the course curriculum is up to industry standard.
Gu offers decent hostel accommodation. The campus life is also quite good. According to the recent placement highlights the highest CTC offered was 5 LPA. Some of the major recruiters that visit the campus placement are OIL, CocaCola, etc.
Which is the best college to apply for a one-year construction management course in Canada, George Brown, Centennial, or Fanshawe? Do all three offer internships?
My brother is currently pursuing the Construction Engineering Technician (T161) course from George Brown College. It is a two year course, and an extra year places it into an advanced diploma (T105).
George Brown offers plenty of job opportunities from a variety of construction companies across Canada. The college regularly holds a job fair in which prominent companies like Bird Construction, Aecon, EllisDon, PCL, etc. take part. A large number of alumni from our college work at one or the other of these reputed companies.
All the three colleges offer internships, but according to my brother, George Brown is a better option for the construction management program.
Is VNIT Nagpur underrated? It is never publicized much even though it's one of the top 5 NITs, if so what's the reason behind this?
At present, VNIT Nagpur is not among the top NITs. As per the 2023 NIRF Engineering rankings, it stands at the 41st position. Among the NITs, it currently ranks 8th as per MHRD.
In the NIRF rankings, you’ll find that the perception score for VNIT is (and has been) very low. Currently, it is 14.88 out of 100. This indicates that the students of this college do not think very highly of it. The obsolete syllabus and unfriendly administration are the prime reasons for student dissatisfaction with VNIT.
VNIT Nagpur is not an underrated college. In fact, it needs a lot of improvement.
Which is better in terms of the syllabus, placements and college life: NSIT in ECE vs BIT Mesra in CSE?
My friend did his B.Tech ECE from NSIT. According to him, NSIT ECE is a better choice than BIT Mesra CSE. Here are the reasons for his preference for NSIT ECE-
- Location- NSIT graduates have greater access to major industries due to its closeness to cities like Noida and Gurugram. For CAT, GRE, GMAT, etc., Delhi has a good coaching center facility.
- Brand Value- The brand value of NSIT is greater than that of BIT Mesra.
- Faculty at NSIT - You will be taught by some of the best professors in the country at the NSIT ECE department. Their letter of recommendation will open numerous doors for you.
- Seniors at NSIT- The seniors at NSIT are very helpful. Some of your seniors working at top firms may even refer you for an internship/job interview.
- Classes are held regularly at NSIT- There is a 75% attendance criteria at NSIT. The teachers also come for the lectures regularly.
- Coding Culture at NSIT- The coding culture at NSIT is great and their coders make it to GSoC every year. Some of them are also ranked highly on sites like TopCoder and CodeChef.
- Placements- The placements at NSIT are better than BIT Mesra. ECE students from NSIT get placed in core electronics companies, tech, and non-tech firms. Some of these companies are- Texas Instruments, Airtel, KPMG, Bain, BCG, McKinsey, TCS, Maruti Suzuki, Expedia, Google, Uber, etc.
- The ECE course has been recently updated by NSIT as per the industry standards. You will get to choose among electives from the first year itself. The electives range from Finance to Sports.
- NSIT is the only Indian college to send delegations to the prestigious Harvard MUN.
Thus, I would suggest you choose NSIT ECE over BIT Mesra CSE.
How do IIIT-Hyderabad students prepare for programming competitions? Who encourages them in this field?
The main driving force in IIIT Hyderabad for encouraging students to prepare for programming competitions is the amazing coding cultus. The faculty is only responsible for delivering the core concepts. The assignments given to students are very challenging and help a lot in developing interest in programming as well as strengthening your time limits, memory limits, and solving SPOJ level questions.
Additionally, IIIT Hyderabad has a competitive programming club that regularly conducts sessions and even provides related study material. This club plays a major role in encouraging students to prepare for programming competitions. There are weekly lab sessions too
The overall environment keeps you up to date with recent developments in the field and motivates you toward programming competitions.
Is getting in NICMAR for a PGP ACM a good option when I have no work experience?
Even though you do not have prior work experience, doing PGP ACM from NICMAR will always help you and give you an edge in the field of Engineering.
I have friends who joined NICMAR Pune just after UG in Civil Engineering. Some joined ACM and some joined PM at Pune. They pursued their respective course and with exposure to different companies during their internships and industry-satisfying pedagogy they were able to bag placements in Larsen & Toubro.
Do not hesitate to join NICMAR Pune if you get an admission call from them. Just dive into the curriculum and everything is sorted.
Should opt for CS in IIT Roorkee or Electrical in IIT Delhi?
My brother is a CS student at IIT Roorkee, yet he suggests everyone should go for Electrical at IIT Delhi instead. Here are a few reasons why:
- CS coursework is suitable only for those genuinely passionate about Computer Science as its curriculum is very demanding.
- A few Finance giants are offering huge packages that don’t visit IIT Roorkee but visit only a few IITs like Delhi, Bombay, and Kanpur. Some of these include Tower Research, Morgan Stanley, CSFB, McKinsey, etc.
- Roorkee lacks many urban facilities available at other IITs making it difficult for the students to explore outside campus or prepare for higher exams.
- The CS faculty pool of IIT Roorkee is very limited with most eminent professors retiring or leaving the Institute.
All these reasons are more than enough to convince someone to choose IIT Delhi over IIT Roorkee.
Can any one enlighten me regarding the MS(by research) program at IIT Kharagpur?
While many confuse MTech and MS as similar, both programs have extremely different perspectives. Hence their worth and demand cannot be rightly compared.
The two major points of difference are that
- MTech has a fixed duration of 2 years whereas MS has no fixed duration and is completed whenever your professor decides.
- MTech is a good option for those looking for high packages whereas MS is for the ones passionate about research.
MS is usually completed once all your research work comes to an end in addition to the first year's coursework. Most people opt for PhDs from top foreign universities. Admission to such universities becomes easy if you have some valuable publications under your name.
Job prospects: Once you have completed your Ph.D. from a reputed university, you can enter teaching professors in top universities. Another option is the R and D section of some elite companies of the world. So we can safely conclude that both MTech and MS have their own individual benefits.
