Which is the best department and subject in IIT Delhi for ESE preparation for civil engineering?
IIT Delhi's Civil Engineering department has a total of 7 branches namely
- Structural Engineering
- Geotechnical Engineering
- Transportation Engineering
- Environmental Engineering
- Water Resources Engineering
- Rock Engineering
- Construction Engineering and Management
The ones that I will recommend you not to join include - Structural, Geotechnical, Transport, and Water Resources. This is because you are planning to prepare for ESE which won’t be possible because of the demanding and rigorous curriculum of these branches.
Construction Engineering and Management is a good choice as the coursework is light in comparison to others. Rock Engineering is another good option but the future scope is limited because it’s not a major branch of Civil Engineering.
The most common choice among aspirants is Environmental Engineering with the least burden and great opportunities.
Can you become a professor in IIMs or IITs after FPM from new IIMs, like Rohtak or Raipur?
Becoming a professor from the new IIMs is definitely possible but rare. The FPM program offered at the new IIMs has varied peers some being freshers while some with Masters from foreign universities.
The following things matter when selecting an Assistant Professor in a new IIM
- Your experience
- The quality of your papers
The chances are rare because most of the new IIMs have professors who have done Ph.D. from older IIMs like IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, and IIM Calcutta. Ph.D. is a program that totally depends on your performance and research. The initial years focus solely on research training and cannot be enough to make you eligible for faculty positions.
So your chances are rare but not null.
What are the pros and cons of joining IIM Kashipur?
There are various pros and cons of joining IIM Kashipur:
Pros:
Located at a wonderful intersection of industry (300+ operational plants of companies like Parle, Titan, Mahindra, Dabur, and others), tourism (places like Corbett National Park, Nainital, Mussorie, and so on), and agriculture (sugar cane producers, agricultural university, and so on), there is a lot of scope for multidisciplinary learning and management education application.
The new campus has 200+ acres of sprawling lush greenery as well as all relevant amenities. IIM Kashipur was the first to do so. Among the new IIMs with the highest number of international placements/summer internships and comparable, if not better, overall placements than all other new IIMs. IIM Kashipur is a place for fostering new ideas and feeling satisfied when they come to fruition.
Cons:
If you believe in a traditional legacy-driven culture, and the comfort of having a tremendously established alumni pool, then IIM Kashipur may be suitable for you but after 10 years or so.
If you like to contribute new ideas and believe in working towards them, or maybe in organizing events as formative batches to make them a legacy for your juniors to carry forward, then IIM Kashipur is the place for you.
