Is it worth giving 10 lakhs for an M.Tech self-sponsored in IIT Hyderabad?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : May 16th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

I think it’s highly illogical to charge such high fees for an MTech self-sponsored at IIT Hyderabad. Usually, they consider industry-sponsored and self-sponsored as equal. However, the fees for sponsored candidates are always higher than for MHRD candidates. So I would recommend you to clear GATE or get into an industry in order to do your Mtech as 10 Lakhs for an MTech is not worth it and might put you in a financial hole. In many cases, self-sponsored students are considered inferior by the professors.

Ultimately, go for it only if you are financially stable and can afford it. Else, go for other options like GATE, industrial jobs, or many other NITs and IITs.

Are transcripts from IMT Ghaziabad accepted by ECA for Canada immigration?

SS
Sonia Singh Posted On : July 31st, 2021
Studies MBA (HRM) at IMT Ghaziabad

Yes, IMT Ghaziabad transcripts are accepted by ECA for Canadian immigration. However, the procedure is slightly slower than anticipated, and can easily take up to a couple of months before finally giving it out. You might also have to pay regular visits to your university for verification.

You can send a letter to the IMT management asking them to send a stamped and sealed copy of your transcript to your specified address. After that, forward the copy to WES Canada directly, without hindering their regulation by opening the stamped and sealed envelope.

You might have to hire a third-party service provider so as to speed this process up. Recently, one of my friends came across a service provider and they completed the work within a provided ETA date and mailed the documentation straight ahead to WES.

Other than that, you should also have a UG degree since that will help you achieve several points in the CRS.

Is FMS Delhi losing its touch?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : May 30th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

No, I don't think that FMS is losing its touch. 

Arguments in favor

  • Even now, the placement is excellent, on par with that of more established IIMs.
  • Superior return on investment.
  • The benefits of attending DU, include its many student organizations, rich tradition, and active club scene. All of this is unparalleled.
  • And you get to call Delhi home! The nation's administrative centre. This is where most things congregate.

Negative points includes

  • Small Campus size
  • The rankings aren't particularly good because they take into account things like a school's physical facilities, faculty, and student body as a whole.

To sum up, I'd want to emphasize that FMS is a highly regarded business school, should you be offered admission. Avail yourself of it.

Is Thapar University better than VIT placement-wise?

PS
Piyu Saha Posted On : August 12th, 2021
Studied at Thapar University (2019)

When placements are concerned, the better opportunities are secured by the student’s overall performance and rather than the college. But if I have to choose one among them, then I’d say Thapar receives better placement offers than VIT.

  • The number of students at VIT is greater than Thapar. So there is more competition for any particular job opportunity.
  • The number of companies visiting both campuses is almost equal. 
  • The faculty at Thapar is highly educated and cooperative. 
  • Students get enough industrial exposure through seminars, industrial visits, and internships.
  • Several mock group discussions and interview sessions are also conducted at Thapar to groom the students. 
  • The college also has a lot of societies to improve the students’ soft skills. 
  • It helps them in boosting their confidence and developing good communication skills. 
Category Thapar University VIT
Total Fee INR 66,000 INR 1,73,000
Companies Visited Wipro, Adobe, Infosys, Bosch, etc. Wipro, Intel, TCS, Tech Mahindra, etc.
Highest Package 25 LPA 26 LPA
Average Package 14 LPA 15 LPA

The biggest factor is that a lot of companies visit Thapar and so it is easier to get a placement there. The placements are better in Thapar. But do remember that the placements completely depend on you and not the college. A lot of companies visit the college for placements but it is up to you the kind of effort that you wish to put in that will land you a job.

How good is the MSIT program in IIIT Hyderabad? How are the placements?

SG
Souvick Gupta Posted On : May 15th, 2021
Studied at IIIT Hyderabad (2018)

Placements for MSIT programs at IIIT Hyderabad are not that great. The placement packages and profiles offered in the placement drive do not match the skill you learn in the program. If you are choosing these programs only because of placement, it will be better to consider other options. I know a little bit about this program as I have some friends who are pursuing it. 

  • MSIT program at IIIT Hyderabad is project-oriented. If you are from CSE from your B.Tech or BE then there are options for good placements in reputed MNCs. 
  • MSIT faculty is different from the general faculty of IIIT Hyderabad for MTech or MS. 
  • However, the management and the placement officials are not that cooperative for placements. 

So, consider all these factors carefully and talk to the students pursuing the course if necessary, before making any decision. Hope it helps.

What would be the better option between BITS Pilani (Pilani Campus) Dual degree or IIIT Delhi ECE?

SM
Subhayu Mukherjee Posted On : May 28th, 2024
Studies at BITS Pilani

When it comes to ECE, I would always suggest you to choose BITS Pilani. It is the top private college in India for pursuing engineering. It is even better than some of the new IITS, NITS and IIITs. Though IIIT Delhi is also a good choice for pursuing ECE, according to me, BITS Pilani will always be a superior choice. 

The course curriculum at BITS Pilani has been designed to impart both theoretical and practical knowledge to the students. The ECE department of BITS Pilani is one of the oldest and most reputed. The faculty is well experienced and helpful. They will guide you through your journey of four years and encourage you to pursue your passions. You will get to design new projects on your own which will give you confidence when you join the workforce. Top companies recruit students from our college and if you are hardworking, you’ll become one of them. All the best!

What are the college timings at UEM Kolkata?

BM
Biswajit Maiti Posted On : June 18th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science, University of Engineering and Management, Kolkata (2020)

My elder brother is an alumnus of UEM Kolkata. The timings are not exactly flexible.

  1. The first shift takes place from 9:20 AM to 4:00 PM. On any two days of the week, the class schedule will be from 9:15 AM to 5:45 PM.
  2. Two recesses are also included in the schedule.
  3. The morning assembly is held from 9:00 AM to 9:20 AM.
  4. The second shift is from 12:15 PM to 5:45 PM.

You can also consult for choosing one shift in case you are not comfortable with the other shift. A lot of students managed to get their shifts changed so take it with a grain of salt.

The second shift is the one where my brother was because there would be no stress of being late for class, less tension for submission of assignments. The only thing that will “tire” you will be the excursions.

The institute offers commendable infrastructural facilities and quality education to the students which is why so many students choose this college for pursuing engineering and management.

Which one is better: St. Xavier's in Kolkata's economics department or Presidency University in Kolkata's economics department?

AB
Angeera Bhattacharjee Posted On : July 29th, 2021
Studied Master of Arts in Political Science at Presidency University, Kolkata

It depends on you and what your career goal is. If jobs are what you aspire to, then St. Xavier’s will be a good choice. In case you are looking for legacy, reputation, and departmental history, and you want to boast of some old-school ultra-elitism across Kolkata, Presidency is the place to be.

Presidency University is going under lots of variations when it comes to curriculum and the teaching methodology. The addition of Presidency Kolkata Economics in your CV in India is an unparalleled one.

As the Presidency University is going under transition for good. But, Xavier’s economics department still has an edge over the Presidency's department in terms of faculty and syllabus.

Categories Presidency University St. Xavier’s Kolkata
Total Course Fee 6150 rupees 2.91 Lakhs
Course Duration 3 years 3 years
Highest CTC 13 LPA 17.5 LPA
Average CTC 7-8 LPA 6 LPA

Both colleges have an equal legacy and are very popular all over the country. If you get admission in any of these institutions, you should just go for it. Be it placements or higher studies, you will have opportunities for both.
