Is Andhra University among the best colleges for engineering in India?

SS
Sriradha Sengupta, Posted On : November 12th, 2021
Studied at Andhra University College of Sciences (2016)

According to the reviews by the students of Andhra University online, it should not and is not considered one of the best colleges for engineering in India.

They are known to have irregular classroom lectures with a very careless faculty. The syllabus is not updated and is not relevant to current industry trends. The infrastructure is poor and the maintenance of the labs is neglected. 

Andhra University is infamous for its gradually degrading condition both of the campus and the academics offered there.

What is your review of IPM course at IIM Indore?

SR
Satvik Rastogi Posted On : January 3rd, 2023
Bcom (Hons) in Bachelor of Commerce with Honours, Shri Ram College of Commerce (Graduated 2020)

Every coin has two sides. Similarly, every college has its pros and cons. My review of the IPM course will list the pros and cons of IIM Indore and its IPM course. Fortunately, the pros overshadow the cons to a large extent

Pros

  • Early admission - The eligibility criteria of the IPM program allows students who have passed out of class XII/Higher Secondary or equivalent from schools across India to apply. So even a 12th pass-out gets the opportunity to get into IIM.
  • Comprehensive Curriculum - The uniqueness of the curriculum lies in the fact that it teaches many areas and not just management. The course is coveted by many due to its high rigor and worth.
  • Brand name - The IIM tag can be attached to an individual's profile right after the 12th without having to do a separate undergraduate course in any other field of study.
  • Placements - The placement scenarios are much better than that of engineering and law colleges. Even as a fresher you land a job of around INR 12-15 LPA. Whereas engineering students start their careers with nothing more than 3-7 LPA.
  • Division of courses - The Programme consists of 15 terms spread over a period of 5 years, with each year having 3 terms of 3 months. The subjects of the initial 3 years focus on the foundation and the last 2 years have core subjects that focus on Management.

In addition, there are humanities, literature, and skill-building courses, along with an option to pursue a foreign language. The IPM also has a group of subjects called ‘bridge courses’. They comprise courses related to information technology, intellectual property rights, or introduction to corporate law.

Cons

  • High fee structure - The biggest con of any IIM is its extremely high fees. The IPM is one of the most expensive graduation courses. Its fee is INR 500000 per year for the first 3 years. Approximately the total cost of this program is INR 3500000.
  • Limited Scope - The program offers very little future scope. This is because even if you decide to leave after 3 years, you will want to pursue Management itself. But leaving after spending so much on graduation is not easy. Also, people usually leave if they get a call from a better IIM. In that case, why did you even pursue graduation at such a high cost?
  • No specialization - The IPM course offers no specialization in Graduation.

Choose wisely after weighing the pros and cons according to your convenience and interests

As a 3rd year CSE student of BIT, Mesra, what should one do to land a good internship program?

HS
Harpreet Saini Posted On : August 17th, 2023
Studied at BIT Mesra

My brother closely followed the internship recruitments at BIT Mesra and here are his insights about the recruitment criteria of some of the major IT firms-

  • Directi - To intern at Directi, you must be good in all the areas of CSE. You must be an excellent algorithm programmer with a good knowledge of technical concepts and a project to support the same. Very few candidates are able to clear the first onsite coding round during the placement process and 1-2 get selected for the internship program.
  • Microsoft - Microsoft recruits students who are excellent at C, MS products and GeeksforGeeks. The multiple rounds during recruitment consist of- objective questions round, coding round, telephonic rounds, paper-pen coding round and interview. You must be good at C, must prepare well for Data Structures interview questions, and must have a good knowledge of technical topics. A good CGPA of 8-8.5+ definitely gives you an edge above the other students.
  • Goldman Sachs - The first round consists of questions on numerical aptitude and technical understanding. Your understanding of C++ oops concepts/C++ output questions/Data structures/Complexity/OS/DBMS is tested. This round is followed by a GD round. Make sure to listen carefully to all the instructions provided during mock GD. The 3rd and 4th rounds are technical and HR rounds respectively. Mention only those areas as your strengths in your resume that you are actually good at and confident about. The questions for this round include- Math puzzles, OOPS concept in (C++/Java), Data structures /SQL queries/Open ended questions/C++ concepts[Constructor/destructor/Virtual functions]/ Java Concepts. 
  • Besides these, students also go for off campus internships at IIT BOMBAY, PlayEzio and other startups.

Thus, to grab an on campus/off campus internship during your 3rd year CSE from BIT Mesra, you need to work very hard and sharpen your technical knowledge and coding skills.

How good electronics engineering in VIT, pune is?

PC
Pradeep Chowdhuri Posted On : October 13th, 2023
B.Tech from , Vishwakarma Institute of Technology (2021)

VIT Pune has two separate departments namely ENTC(Electronics and Telecommunications) and the other is Elex (Electronics). Here are the highlights of these branches 

  • Academics: The branch has some very well-versed professors who help you with projects, paper writing, and non-academic stuff. 
  • Examinations: VIT has a very easy exam system. There are both mid sems and end sems which lowers the burden and gives you more time to learn in depth about the topics.
  • Labs: The lab facilities here are great 
  • Internships: Sadly, internships in core electronics companies are very rare. CS or IT students get internships very easily.
  • Placements: Only a handful of core electronics companies offer placements at VIT. In comparison to CS and IT, the packages are not very high.
  • Syllabus: The VIT syllabus is well-structured and updated at par with industry needs. 
  • Exchange Programs: Students can also opt for exchange programs in renowned universities in Singapore, Germany, Canada, USA. 

Overall VIT is a great choice. However, you need to consider the fact that this college has no branch change faculty so you will have to choose the right branch at once.

What do you not like in LNCT Bhopal?

KP
Kunal Prajapati Posted On : September 28th, 2021
Studied B.Tech CSE,at Lakshmi Narain College of Technology,Bhopal (2019)

Being an engineering student at LNCT, I realized the following things about the life of a student in an engineering college.

  1. You will not have a college life because of too many quizzes, assignments, exams, viva, practical exams held in the college.
  2. If your branch is anything other than IT and CSE, you better start looking out for opportunities elsewhere, because only IT companies participate in the recruitment drives on campus. 
  3. Students with core engineering cannot find decent opportunities for roles related to their branch of studies.
  4. A 75% attendance will become very tough to maintain. You need to think a hundred times before taking leave or missing a class.

But, among these at least the faculty is said to be promising but the students disagree. As the college has a mixture of good and average professors. It is a basic expectation for students to have a good, experienced faculty and mentors, a comfortable environment to study, and receive the necessary facilities.

After an MBA from a 2 or 3 tier college, like NMIMS Bangalore or GLIM Chennai, what kind of profile and salary can I expect? Can I get a mid-level management position right after graduating?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : May 18th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

It varies depending on the individual's skills, experience, and the reputation of the college they have graduated from. The perception of a college can differ from one company to another. For example, Amazon might consider GLIM Chennai as a tier 1 college while Deloitte might consider it tier 2. The reputation of a college is subjective and depends on the perspective of the employer.

Regarding job roles, there are many possibilities after completing an MBA. If you are looking for mid-level management roles, it depends on what type of management you are seeking. If you are looking for people management or just a seat at the table, then any college can provide this opportunity, provided the companies that visit the college for placement match your expectations.

However, strategic business decision-making roles are rare. No employer would hire someone without experience, regardless of academic tier. A strong track record can lead to these roles. Depending on talents, experience, and the college's reputation, an MBA from a 2 or 3 tier college can open up many professional prospects, including mid-level management roles.

What was the waitlist movement at IIM Bangalore last year?

NG
Nabamita Ghosh Posted On : July 30th, 2021
Studied at University of Mumbai (2019)

Being in the waiting is enough to add on a lot of stress in the student's mind who has applied for the institute. The reason I am responding to your query is that it needs to be addressed among the masses.

  • A friend of mine was on this waitlist. Throughout the entire time, he was always under constant pressure.
  • Generally, this waitlist frenzy is exclusive to the students that belong to the General category and their result falls somewhere around 60-70.
  • There are also a good number of students who have switched to Calcutta as they believed that Finance was ultimately their calling.
  • This is precisely why people who are in the waitlist choose to settle in Bangalore.
  • The 2018-2020 batch was quite an exception in this matter.
  • Because of a rumored article, the waitlist for the batch 2018-2020 of IIM Bangalore went up to 16 for the General category students. Thus revealing certain dark sides of IIM Calcutta.

The waitlist for this year can be expected to reach 60 but no one can put an authenticity stamp on it as this has various layers to it. My personal advice to people who are on the waitlist is to prepare a backup option as well so that they do not have to be disappointed.

Is it true that aeronautical engineering branch in Madras Institute of Technology had the least placements this year?

KG
Kinjal Ghosh Posted On : July 17th, 2021
Studied at Madras Institute of Technology (2019)

Yes, not only this year but for the last 5-6 years, MIT Aeronautical Engineering has been facing a lot of trouble in general.

  • The primary reason is that it is one of the university departments of Anna University.
  • In India, there are fewer core companies, and they mostly visit the IITs and NITs.
  • Most of the students are attending IITs and NITs, which also decreases the number of students getting admission in MIT.
  • Exams are used by public sector companies such as DRDO and ISRO to hire employees, and students had to apply after completing their undergraduate degrees.
  • The curriculum isn't very good, in comparison to other streams.
  • Some businesses require specialization, so they opt for P.G.
  • There was no proper guidance from the staff. This is a major issue in the department.
Categories Aeronautical Engineering at Madras Institute of Technology
Course Fee 2 lakh
Highest CTC 23 LPA
Average CTC 10 LPA
Recruiting Companies Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Defense Research and Development Organisation, ISRO, NASA etc.

Anna University's core placements are declining at a faster rate, and this is not limited to the Aeronautical department. If your goal is to get a job, then it is suggested that you do not go for Aeronautical Engineering at MIT.
