What should I go for, IT in NIT Surathkal or CS in NIT Allahabad? I want to go for Surathkal but don't know if IT is a good option.

One of my friends was doubtful whether the hindi-speaking culture of MNNIT will have any impact on her English communication skills. If you are doubtful regarding the same, I would say you need not worry uselessly. 

Students from MNNIT clear CAT with good scores. This wouldn’t have been possible without clearing the CAT verbal paper. Students converse in Hindi on campus simply because most of them belong to North India. This won’t have any negative effect on your English proficiency. Also, the professors deliver lectures in English. Other than that, to keep enhancing your English skills, you can join the English Literature group of MNNIT. 

As far as your options are concerned, MNNIT is known for its top notch education in CSE. It is one of the best colleges in India for a CSE program. Also, the placements offered at MNNIT are quite impressive, especially for its CSE branch.

According to me, you should choose CSE at MNNIT over IT at NIT Surathkal.

Which should I choose between PICT, MIT Pune, VIT Pune, for ENTC or WCE Sangli electronics?

AC

Lives in Pune, Maharashtra, India

Here is a detailed analysis of the aforementioned colleges based on some common aspects

  • Branch: Electronics and E&TC are two very different branches covering many different subjects. So it’s best to go through the syllabus and then decide the branch of your choice.
  • Academics: Academically, VIT Pune and WCE Sangli are better choices than MIT and POCT mainly because both are autonomous and have a pointer scale and thus scoring a good CGPA is easier.
  • Fees: WCE charges the least among these colleges mainly because it’s a government-funded college. PICT charges fewer fees in comparison with MIT and VIT.
  • Location: All three institutes namely PICT, MIT & VIT, are in Pune so enjoy great location benefits

Hope you make a wise choice!

Should I choose production and industrial engineering at NIT Kurukshetra and then try to change branch during internal sliding?

AR
Aditi Roy Posted On : September 2nd, 2023
lives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

I will not recommend you choose NIT Kurukshetra Production and Industrial Engineering because you will need a good rank for it and you can opt for CS at better colleges with that rank. Moreover, joining a college in the hope of solely upgrading your branch isn't a wise decision. The branch change procedure is more challenging than it seems. For branches like CS, you need a very high CGPA around 9.6+ which will be very tiring. Even after that, there isn't a guarantee for branch change as other factors like availability of seats and the demand of the branch are considered. You might get Mechanical with a lower CGPA around 9 though. I know a friend who went for Production and Industrial Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra and then changed his branch into mechanical engineering by securing a pointer of 9.0.

The point is this is a risky option and you cannot bet your 4 years on this. If you are good at dealing with failures and want to come out of your comfort zone to challenge yourself, then consider joining the branch and working for branch change. But if you feel you won't be able to handle the consequences then look for other options because the branch of Production and Industrial Engineering isn't very easy.

Nishika Goel Posted On : December 1st, 2022
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (Graduated 2018)

To begin with, when comparing two IIMs, the question is which is better, not which is the best.

The answer to this question is, of course, subjective.

  • IIM Calcutta is a more established institution than IIM Lucknow, and it consistently receives higher rankings. As a result, according to any layman or literate man, it will be better than IIM Lucknow.

Which is better, Kirori Mal College or Hansraj College?

SR
Sarita Rani Posted On : November 15th, 2022
Studied at Kirori Mal College, Delhi University

 Kirorimal College and Hansraj College cannot be compared. Both colleges are the best in their respective fields. Only by the department can we make comparisons. Because some subjects have a low cut-off in KMC but a high cut-off in Hansraj, and vice versa. However, in the same week, Hansraj has two days off (Saturday and Sunday) and the same KMC has one day off (Sunday).

In terms of college campuses, KMC has a larger campus than Hansraj college. Both colleges have a fantastic infrastructure. Both have a library, a canteen, a lawn, a seminar room, and a hostel.
