Which one is better: IIT Kanpur civil, IIT Guwahati or IIT BHU mechanical?
If you are certain about your branch choice, then go for Civil at IIT Kanpur. If you aren’t sure about the branch then choosing IIT Kanpur among these three IITs will be better. In 2021, NIRF ranked IIT Kanpur #6 in the country. Although it’s not easy you can change your branch after a year. But you can’t change your college.
My JEE rank is 600. Should I go for electrical at IIT Kanpur or CS at IIT Roorkee?
As per the latest stats, you will not be able to get admission in CSE at IIT Roorkee at this rank if you are from the general category. I think that you should choose EE at IIT Kanpur over CSE at IIT Roorkee because of the following reasons:-
- Taking EE in Kanpur is more advantageous than CSE in Roorkee due to higher placement percentages and more flexible academics, which helps to let you develop yourself more.
- IIT Kanpur has a better NIRF ranking of 4th compared to IIT Roorkee 5th.
- As of 2023, the average salary at IIT Kanpur EE branch is 26.27 LPA, while the average salary for IIT Roorkee's CSE branch is 27 LPA, so there is not much difference.
- More than 250 companies like Microsoft, Fujitsu, Samsung, Reliance, Goldman Sachs, and McKinsey visited IIT Kanpur campus in 2023.
- Electrical engineering provides you with opportunities in both the public and private sectors.
- The best aspect is that if you later discover you have no interest in EE, you can always move to Software Engineering.

How is production engineering at BIT Mesra?
I am an alumnus of BIT Mesra and pursued my B.E. in Production Engineering from this institution. In my opinion, Production Engineering at BIT Mesra is an excellent course.
BIT Mesra Production Engineering faculty is learned and supportive at the same time. If you want a job in the manufacturing/production industry, the curriculum over there is useful and interesting. However, a few topics in the curriculum are obsolete and an update is required with the advancement in technology and production practices.
Production Engineering at BIT Mesra has an almost negligible workload when compared to the other branches. The faculty is not as strict with quizzes and assignment submissions. With some effort, you will perform quite well academically.
Placement-wise, Production Engineering at BIT Mesra is not an ideal branch. However, the top 10-15 students have a great chance of getting placed during campus recruitment. Not a good number of firms and industries related to this branch show up during campus recruitments. However, your skills and hard work will also determine your fate. During 2022, the placements for Production Engineering were decent with 33 students getting out of 42 registered students (and 36 eligible students).
Thus, Production Engineering at BIT Mesra is a really good stream, but not an ideal one in terms of placements.
How is Dev Sanskriti University in Haridwar?
The Dev Sanskriti University in Haridwar is appropriate for the students as it has a very welcoming and accepting environment.
Here are some facts about it:
- The faculty is highly experienced and extremely cooperative.
- The college students are very enthusiastic about organization and participation in fests and cultural programs.
- Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya (DSVV) is very strict when it comes to discipline.
- They are strict about holidays and taking leaves.
- A 75% attendance is compulsory for all the students, failing which they will not be allowed to sit for the exams.
- The college food is average.
- The timings for lunch and dinner are really bad. Breakfast is at 6 AM, Lunch timing is 11 AM and Dinner timing is 5 PM.
Overall the college is good, but for out-station students the adjustment to the place, food, weather, etc. will take some time. Try making friends who will make you familiar with the place and its surroundings.
How do we get good marks in JNTUH?
Some of my friends studied at JNTUH, and according to them you can work hard and follow some steps that will make you score better marks easily. Let me share some I got to know from them.
- You should form your answers to the given questions in a brief, well-devised, and structured manner.
- It is suggested that you use both blue and black pens to highlight the important lines in your answer.
- If the structured answers highlight the significant, scoring points related to the question, the examiner would be impressed and might end up giving extra points.
- The faculty members are generous while correcting your papers and assigning marks even if you have written an average answer.
- There is a thin chance that you end up with a single-digit score on your paper.
- However, if that happens you would have to please the teaching assistant to help you out.
- If you are able to persuade him/ her, you would be able to acquire passing marks.
- Do not waste your money on revaluation or re-correction of your papers unless you are sure about the answers you have written in the exam.
Getting good marks in JNTUH is a real task as the paper checking system in the university is a little faulty and requires considerable attention. In the end, the only thing that would matter is not your percentage but the skills you have acquired in the 4 long years of your academics. Try maintaining a 75% or above percentile and work hard.
How is IMS Noida for the PGDM course??
IMS Noida is an average college for the PGDM course, but there might be better options out there for you, depending on your percentile and area of interest.
Before choosing a college, check your preferred job profile (sales, HR, finance, core finance) and pursue colleges accordingly. Avoid running behind the package or 100% placement assurance as the job profile's sustainability matters more in the long run. Check the LinkedIn profiles of alumni to get an idea of the job profile and its in-hand salary.
It is crucial to be cautious of brand names too, as you may not enjoy the brand as an employee. For instance, getting placed in a reputed bank may seem like a great opportunity, but the job profile may entail selling banking products like mutual funds, insurance, or corporate credit sales. Hence, checking the job profile of placed students can give you an insight into the work you might have to do after graduation.
In conclusion, before making a decision, research and analyze your options based on your interests, future goals, and job profiles to ensure a sustainable and secure future
Should I choose IIMB over FMS Delhi?
Many people choose IIM Bangalore over FMS Delhi because of its brand image. Also without any doubt, IIM is at an altogether different level than other B Schools. Considering the IIFT rankings of this year IIM Bangalore ranked 1st whereas FMS ranked 4th.
But if you consider the ROI, FMS has an upper hand. Its incredibly lower fees in comparison to IIMs make it the best choice for people who are low on budget and don’t want to get involved with educational loans. It’s the best cost-effective MBA program in the country. The placements here are also at par with IIMs.
So choose IIMB over FMS only if
- You can invest 20+ lakhs or are willing to take out a loan
- If you are looking for a brand image more than just the essence of an MBA
- You want to experience an impressive campus life
If these are your reasons for pursuing an MBA. IIM Bangalore is a better choice. Else go for FMS, nothing there will disappoint you.
Which is better for electrical engineering: MNIT Jaipur or MNNIT Allahabad?
I researched on both the colleges, and here is my answer to your query-
MNNIT Allahabad is far better then MNIT Jaipur for Electrical Engineering. MNNIT has better placements and academics for Electrical branch.
MNIT is situated in the middle of the city, so you can easily join coaching classes for GATE, ESE, and other competitive exams. But then, many students from MNNIT clear GATE, IES, Civil Services, etc. because of its academic friendly environment.
Both the colleges perform equally well in rankings.
I would recommend you join MNNIT Allahabad for your Electrical degree.
What should I take, Metallurgy and Material Science Engineering at IIT Indore or Electrical Engineering at IIT Bhilai?
In general, it is better to choose the branch of your choice. Given below are a few trade-offs of the two choices given on the question which may help you in making the decision.
MEMS - IIT Indore:
- Administration: IIT Indore belongs to the 2008-09 batch of IITs. Although it can’t be compared with older IITs but it has made remarkable progress in this short span of time. The administration and departments are well-settled. Extra-curricular at the institute are also developing with time. In 4-5 years, the institute is expected to have a great future.
- Course: BTech MEMS at IIT Indore is fairly new and the duration of the existence of the course is the same as the B Tech Electrical course at IIT Bhilai. However, the MEMS department has been functioning for a while at IIT Indore. As a department it has experience. The faculties are great.
- Placements: MEMS has a lower placement rate as compared to other core branches of engineering. Metallurgy and Material Science is a niche field of study and the degree outcome is more research-oriented.
- Change of Branch: However, you can change your branch to Electrical or Mechanical from MEMES at IIT I, if you work hard in your 1st year. Changing to CS is always difficult because of the competition.
Electrical at IIT Bhilai:
- Facilities: IIT Bhilai was established back in 2016. It is only 4 years old. Electrical is a core Engineering discipline with better career prospects. But the disadvantage of this choice is the institute. You will have a few seniors in your branch and temporary faculties.
- Extracurricular: You will have good opportunities to start events, clubs, in the institute. On the other hand, the future at this institute is a bit uncertain.
- Campus Life: The institute also does not have a proper campus. You will not have a proper campus life for the next 4 years.
The table below shows a brief overview of the two institutes.

One of my friends had an option between Mechanical at IIT Indore and CS at a new IIT. He chose Mechanical at IIT Indore. Judging by his experience it is safe to say that he made the right decision at least for 2-3 more years.
The choice is up to you if you would rather trade off on the branch or on the institution. If you are confident you can secure a good future from the limited opportunities a new IIT can offer, you should go for it.
