I am considering getting a civil engineering degree in Thapar University and a computer science degree in Galgotias University. So which one should I prefer? And how are these colleges?

AJ
Atul Jha Posted On : August 12th, 2021
Studied at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology

Thapar University is better than Galgotias University for studying. Here in the following table, you will get basic information about both universities:

Parameters Galgotias University Thapar University
Fees INR 55,000 INR 13.23 Lakh
Average CTC 4 LPA 8 LPA
Highest CTC 12.40 LPA INR 43 LPA
Major recruiters Cognizant, Infosys, Wipro, Ericsson, Accenture, Tech Mahindra, etc. HSBC, TCS, Zomato, Deloitte, Whirlpool, JP Morgan, etc.
  • Galgotias University was established later than Thapar University. Thapar University also has a name in industries that will help you in placement. The education quality and level of Galgotias University are not better when compared to Thapar University. 
  • Thapar University has a legacy of over 60 years. It has a highly successful alumni base. The faculty base for Civil Engineering at Thapar is one of the best. A lot of companies come for campus placement at Thapar. 

If you are genuinely interested in CS then go for Galgotias. However, if you make a comparison between Galgotias University and Thapar University, then the latter is a better option than the former in terms of quality of education, environment, and placement.

Can a computer engineer qualify IES?

AD
Abhay Dey Posted On : January 18th, 2021
IES 2019

The minimum educational qualification for IES is an engineering degree and an engineering graduate from any branch can apply and qualify IES.

However, the syllabus of IES does not have computer science in the list of subjects. 

Hence, a computer engineer can apply but has to choose a branch paper from the following.

  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Electrical Engineering
  • Electronics and telecommunications
  • Civil engineering

Thus, selecting from the above-mentioned subject can be tricky for a computer engineer. Before applying, you should study the syllabus properly and then choose the subject according to your interests and knowledge. Electrical Engineering can be an easy branch paper. One of my seniors was from Mineral Engineering and wrote his IES branch paper on Electrical and got selected. 

You can appear in the examination, provided you have secured at least 50% in your engineering degree. Choose your branch paper carefully.

Why couldn't IIM A, B, and C compete with NITIE in operations?

NP
Nilakshi Patel Posted On : August 18th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

The question you have asked can also be interpreted as to why Microsoft is not currently competing with HAL in producing similar products since they both come with their own personal expertise. 

Either of the institutes does not need to compete against one another because they already come with their own prospects, image, and information. 

IIM Ahmedabad does not actually emphasize students to opt for a management function for pursuing a major or specialization. The course of general management is 2-years long with the liberty to choose electives as per one's choice and on the basis of academic profile in the second year. Students, before placements, are asked to rank and rate companies that they want to call on the campus during future offers. 

In fact, IIM - A, B or C is not particularly competing with NITIE, Mumbai in Operations because they both have maintained their own personal brand values which are gigantically different. 

They have, at present, established a whole perspective of General Management B-Schools. Apart from that, IIMs do not apparently require to participate in a competition against NITIE as any management course since students over and across India generally only prefer the former anyway.
