Do NIT Srinagar teachers show partiality between Kashmiri and non-Kashmiri students?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 20th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

My uncle works as a full-time faculty member at NIT Srinagar and has been in frequent contact with the faculty members. From what he has observed only one faculty member till date has been partial in grading. However, he was just a contractual faculty member and did not stay for a long time. He was biased towards Kshmiris both in terms of teaching and grading. Apart from him, he never came across a single teacher who has been biased towards or against locals or non-locals. They don’t care about the cultural background of the students and focus only on academics. 

So rest assured, you won’t find any kind of partiality here!

Are Narsee Monjee College of Commerce and Economics and Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies different colleges or the same?

SV
Sangeeta Verma Posted On : August 20th, 2021
B.Com (Financial Markets) from Narsee Monjee College of Commerce And Economics (2019)

Narsee Monjee College of Commerce and Economics and Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies is two completely different institutions. The common thing between them is that they are registered under the same trust names SVKM. 

  • NM College is affiliated with Mumbai University whereas NMIMS is deemed to be a university. Both are very different. 
  • NMIMS, being an autonomous institute, has its own syllabus and courses made and updated by itself. 
  • NMIMS offers many courses with lots of changes in the syllabus like B.com (Hons.), BBA, B.sc, Finance, B.sc Economics for undergraduate and MBA and others for post Graduate. 
  • NM College offers courses such as B.Com, Bachelors in Management Studies (BMS), Bachelors in Accounting and Finance (BAF), Bachelors in Financial Markets (BFM), and other postgraduate courses as well.

NMIMS has better academics because their courses and syllabus are regularly updated according to the response given by the students. They can update their syllabus however they seem fit but on the other hand, NMCCE is under Mumbai University which does not change its syllabus frequently and has outdated courses too. Moreover, the fee for NMIMS is way higher than NMCCE which is considered affordable.

Is IIEST Shibpur better than HBTU Kanpur?

SN
Subhadra Nandi Posted On : March 15th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (2019)

The answer is definitely yes as the Indian Institute of Engineering and technology is more than 60 years older than Harcourt Butler University. Both the colleges have rich heritage and have contributed immensely to the development of information technology in India.

The prominent factors which make IIEST better than HBTU are :

  • Alumni - IIEST has a more renowned base of alumni ranging from USA world’s Greatest Structural Engineer to reputed researchers, scientists, educators and professors. HBTU has not a very attractive list of alumni in the domain of information technology.
  • Placement - The placement details of both the colleges are as follows:

Categories

HBTU

IIEST

Highest Package

INR 60 LPA

INR 39 LPA

Average Package

INR 7.18 LPA

INR 10 LPA

Number Of recruiters

40

111

Top recruiters

Google, Microsoft, Oyo Rooms, IBM

Microsoft, Wipro, Cognizant, IOL, Vedanta, HSBC Technologies

HBTU offers a higher package but the number of individuals getting that package is very less. Also, the average package is less as compared to IIEST. It also attracts more core recruiters than HBTU.

  • Curriculum - IIEST has an updated & dynamic syllabus as it has to keep at par with the standards in the market. It also holds top ranks in the research parameters in several domains. The allocation of funds by the government has also made it even easier.

IIEST, therefore, makes a way ahead of HBTU due to various reasons but the choice can be easily influenced by other unmentioned factors like location, fee range, and scores in the competing examination.

AC
Ankit Chaudhari Posted On : March 21st, 2023
nstrumentation engineering graduate

To make an informed decision, it's crucial to understand that changing your choice based on the college you get into won't have much impact. You should acknowledge that Electronics and Instrumentation in BITS Pilani Goa Campus and Electrical and Electronics in NIT Surathkal are two distinct engineering streams with different colleges, and both colleges are excellent in their own right.

Your selection of the branch should entirely depend on your interest. If you are intrigued by electrical or electronic circuits or have been fascinated by electricity since childhood, EEE is the perfect fit for you. Conversely, if you have an interest in instruments or daily life gadgets that make our lives more comfortable, you should opt for E&I.

Keep in mind that EEE focuses on circuit design and development, while E&I focuses on circuit implementation in industries or the real world. EEE is a core branch that concentrates on its domain, but E&I combines all other core branches such as Mechanical, Electronics, Electrical, and even Computer Science.

Both EEE and E&I offer excellent job prospects in the market. E&I graduates can work in core fields or software industries. There is a plethora of industries related to electrical and electronics, so EEE also offers ample job opportunities. Therefore, both branches are exceptional in their way. Choose the one that piques your interest and don't sacrifice your area of interest due to college selection.
