Considering all aspects, which is better, VSSUT Burla vs SIT Bhubaneswar?

KS

Lives in Bhubaneshwar
  • I have friends both in VASUT Burla and SIT Bhubaneswar. Based on their reviews I feel SIR Bhubaneswar is one of the best private colleges under BPUT University in Bhubaneswar. The academics are great and the faculty is highly qualified. The campus has modern facilities like wifi access and the labs are well-equipped. It’s located close to big firms like CS, Infosys, and Wipro. However, like any other college, SIT Bhubaneswar has its own set of cons. For instance, the security is very tight and the hostel rules are strict. There are cameras in the boys' hostel in every corner. The campus placements are pathetic. 

VSSUT Burla 

  • VSSUT is a deemed university and a well-known government-funded college. The best part is that its course fee is very low in comparison to SIT Bhubaneswar. It has a huge wifi enabled campus.

Overall I feel VSSUT is better in terms of campus plumbers, hostel facilities, night canteens facility, and the variety of disciplines it offers.

Which NIT is better for civil engineering, NIT Surathkal or NIT Warangal?

SS
Shivani Singh Posted On : April 22nd, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Warangal (2019)

 If you are considering pursuing engineering and wondering which branch to choose, there are some important things you should keep in mind while making a decision. Here are some key points to consider:

  • If earning a hefty package from a job is your dream, it's better not to opt for Civil engineering. While there is some scope for growth in this field, the construction industry in India is not yet mature enough to offer salaries comparable to those in the software industry. Managers in the software industry often earn the same amount as director-level employees in the construction industry.
  • While you may think that there is less competition in Civil engineering, this is not necessarily the case. Every year, a large number of Civil engineers graduate from colleges all over India, saturating the construction industry. This means that there is a lot of competition for jobs in this field.
  • If you have a family business in construction or plan to start one in the future, then pursuing Civil engineering may be a good option for you. In this case, it may be helpful to join a nearby college and get involved in construction activities simultaneously with your studies. This will give you practical experience and help you gain a better understanding of the industry.
  • Keep in mind that the quality of your college matters initially, but after a few years, your experience and skills will be more important. So, even if you attend a lesser-known college, you can still succeed in the field if you have the right skills and experience.

If you are still interested in pursuing Civil engineering despite the challenges, then you may want to consider NIT Warangal. According to the author of the original statement, this institution is better than NIT Surathkal. However, keep in mind that this is a subjective opinion and you should do your own research before making a decision.

SD
Saurabh Das Posted On : October 19th, 2023
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Patna (2022)

NIT Silchar is a leading and highly reputed institution, as it is the oldest one. NIT Silchar has better faculties, placement support, a resourceful atmosphere, and infrastructure, but the weather conditions are very bad. If you want to explore North India, then you can opt for NIT Patna; otherwise, you can go with the option of NIT Silchar for a better future.

How bad is the ragging at SOE CUSAT?

RB
Rishi Biswanath Posted On : February 12th, 2021
B.Tech Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, Cochin University of Science and Technology (2017)

If you want to take admission in SOE, then this answer may be helpful. Ragging in this institute is only confined to making you write seniors' assignments or doing some funny things.

One of my friends has studied in this institute, and this thing has happened to him once. He told me that after completing the assignment, his seniors gave him biryani treats. He also told me that the seniors sometimes forced him to write their assignments. And afterward, he was rewarded with Cadbury dairy milk. This is usually how these incidents end. 

After a certain period of time, around two months, these seniors become the best seniors. Especially the ones who ragged you the most. 

To conclude, you won’t experience ragging in the true sense of the word, at the institute. The seniors are also quite helpful and you can reach out to them for any problem. Hope this answer was helpful.

How is a girl's life at NIT Agartala?What are the hostel in and out timings?

MS
Muktesh Shukla Posted On : September 20th, 2023
Lives in Agartala

My sister was a hosteller at NIT Agartala and lived a life full of restrictions and rules. The hostel timing is very rigid around 6 PM. The college ends at 5: 30 so you have only half an hour to stay outside the hostel. This is very illogical especially if you are someone who likes to roam around and explore the campus. Even worse, the weekend timings are 5:30 PM so you have no time to enjoy. From what I heard, the hostel supervisor is very strict and gives no flexibility or freedom to girls. He ensures that all hostel rules are followed religiously. 

In terms of facilities, NIT Agartala is one of the best colleges with a beautiful infrastructure and hostel facilities. Just remember that you won’t be able to enjoy your freedom here and might have to adjust to hostel rules.

Having been rejected by XLRI (BM) and SPJIMR, should I settle for NMIMS Mumbai?

AG
Akriti Gupta Posted On : July 17th, 2023
lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

This is a very common dilemma among MBA aspirants who fail to make it into the institute of their choice. They are torn between going to an average B School or retaking CAT. 

A smart way to come out of this dilemma is to toss the coin with these choices and the choice that comes to your mind when the coin is in the air is what you want to do. If you keep taking advice from everyone you will be left all the more confused. 

A close friend of mine faced a similar Institute and his family advised him to take a drop year as NMIMS was not on his list of preferred institutes. He finally retook CAT and ended up in XLRI! 

Ultimately, the right decision for someone may not be the right one for you, and vice versa. So choose wisely!

SJ
Sumit Jha Posted On : April 23rd, 2021
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Jamshedpur

Every year this dilemma strikes most of the students whether to opt for a good NIT but not the branch of choice or branch of choice at any NIT. What you should know is apart from the top five NITs, all the other NITs are equivalent. Therefore, go for the branch of your choice.

Now, answering that question that has been asked:

  • Academics: The faculty of the metallurgy department at NIT Jamshedpur is good. They provide a good amount of and appropriate content for the courses. There is not much pressure on large assignments. You can take out time for other interests that you have apart from engineering.
  • Placement: NIT Jamshedpur provides ample opportunities. Companies like Tata Steel and Vedanta Steel are the leading recruiting companies from the metallurgy department. You will also get a lot of opportunities in the non-core sector. Groffers, ZS Associates, Future First also recruit.

Looking at the placements, the Metallurgy department at NIT Jamshedpur has been better when compared to other NITs.

You can go for metallurgy at NIT Jamshedpur but, I will also suggest you give more preference to the branch of your choice.

How is NIT Calicut for a B.Tech in material science?

NM
Nandini Mishra Posted On : August 26th, 2021
National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2019)

B.Tech in material science in NIT CALICUT is a slightly underrated course as it is newly introduced. NIT Calicut also has an M.Tech course for material science. 

The material science branch in NIT Calicut is a very promising branch despite being an underrated and newly introduced branch and has become an important part of NIT Calicut. This branch also has a dedicated department for nanotechnology. Recently they have made their college proud by preparing and distributing hand sanitizer in the entire campus and also in local sections of society to fight against the coronavirus pandemic. 

The placements of this department are not as great as in the computer science department as it is a newly introduced branch. 

This is a research-oriented branch with a strong alumni network. Material Science is definitely a promising field and offers a lot of opportunities in higher studies. If you love nanoscience then you should go for this course.

Why are IIMs preferred over DU affiliated institutes like FMS or DFS?

SG
Suman Ghose Posted On : June 23rd, 2021
Studied at Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi (2018)

FMS is at par with IIM A/ B/ C, and DFS is at par with new IIMs. They are famous for their return on investment (ROI). DFS is next to FMS in terms of ROI. Most of the time, students can cover their fees from the stipend of their SIP. Even though most students are not aware of FMS and DFS. Here are some of the reasons why you should consider these institutes.

Although most choose IIMs due to their brand value, there are also many who choose FMS over IIMs, including ABC for their brand value and ROI.

For Finance specialization, DFS is at par with the new IIMs. DFS is affiliated with CFA and is one of the best institutes for finance. Its course structure develops an overall financial brain within the students.

Fee Comparison:

Institute

Fee

FMS

INR 1.92 Lakhs

DFS

INR 26000

IIM A

INR 23 Lakhs

IIM B

INR 23 Lakhs

IIM C

INR 23 Lakhs

The fees for FMS and DFS are 100 times less than what students pay for top IIMs. Therefore, many prefer these institutes to avoid repaying hefty educational loans. It makes MBA a risk-free course.

Batch Size:

The batch size of IIMs is much bigger than the batch size of FMS/DFS. So, an above-median CTC in IIMs requires one to be ahead of 200 students. In FMS you need to be ahead of 100 and in DFS you need to be ahead of 25.

Location:

The location of these institutes is in the heart of Delhi. So, you will have availability of better coaching centers, if you want to prepare for competitive examinations.

Most of the students seek for IIMs being unaware about these institutes, and others join IIMs for the sake of “IIM tag”.

How much marks in AILET assures you a seat(Gen) in NLU Delhi for BALLB?

AA
Ankit Agrawal Posted On : April 5th, 2023
Studied at National Law University,Delhi (2017)

 NLU Delhi conducts the AILET for admission to its undergraduate and postgraduate law programs, including the BA LLB program. The AILET exam is highly competitive, and the cutoff marks vary from year to year, depending on various factors such as the difficulty level of the exam, the number of applicants, and the availability of seats.

It is difficult to predict a specific score that would guarantee admission to NLU Delhi for the BA LLB program, as the cutoff marks may vary from year to year. However, based on past trends and previous year's cutoffs, a general idea of the cutoff marks can be obtained.

Here are the cutoff marks for AILET for the past three years for General Category

  • AILET 2021: 72 marks out of 150 marks
  • AILET 2020: 86 marks out of 150 marks 
  • AILET 2019: 72 marks out of 150 marks

It's important to note that these are just the cutoff marks and meeting them does not guarantee a seat in NLU Delhi. Admission is also based on other factors like the availability of seats, reservation policy, and performance in the interview round (if applicable).

So, while no fixed score guarantees admission to NLU Delhi for the BA LLB program, aiming to score around 80-90 marks or above out of 150 marks in AILET exam would significantly increase your chances of getting a seat. However, it is always advisable to aim for the highest possible score and perform well in the interview round to maximize your chances of getting admission into NLU Delhi.
