How is ECE at IIT Dhanbad?

RP
Roohi Pal Posted On : October 12th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Dhanbad (2020)

As a B.Tech ECE student at IIT Dhanbad, I can give you some insight on this course.

The ECE faculty consists of a handful of professors who are genuinely interested in this branch. You’ll get to study from them in the last 3-4 semesters. The rest won’t teach or guide you much. 

Only the top performers get placed in core companies. Most of the recruitments are made by IT and software firms. For those jobs, you must learn good enough coding to be able to compete with fellow CSE students. Pursue ECE only if you have an interest in Electronics, Semiconductors and Communications Systems.

These are some details about B.Tech ECE at IIT Dhanbad. Pursue B.Tech ECE only if it aligns with your goals and aspirations.

What is the placement record of chemical engineering department of IIT Guwahati?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : May 4th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

The placement scenario of the Chemical Engineering department of IIT Guwahati is just average with only a handful of companies visiting the campus for placements. The packages offered too are not at par with other IITs. 

My sister was a student at IIT Guwahati and she told me that many of her batchmates remained unplaced. Specifically talking about Mtech, core jobs are scarce and only your luck can help you.

I will recommend you entirely focus on preparing for PSU or GRE and target a Ph.D. from a foreign university. The professors at IIT Guwahati have good connections abroad and their reference and guidance will help you to choose the best universities, and publish good research journals. Ph.D. students have to do the job hunting themselves and not rely on placements. 

Those who opt for non-core placements can avail the best opportunities with great packages even better than the core. All you need is a decent proficiency in coding and knowledge of a few programming languages.

What is taught in "Chemical Engineering" at IIT Kanpur?

KD
Kirti Das Posted On : April 25th, 2023
Studied at IIT Kanpur

Chemical Engineering at IIT Kanpur is a program that lays emphasis on the design and operation of chemical processes, as well as the development of new materials and technologies. Some of the core topics that are covered in this program include

  • thermodynamics
  • kinetics
  • chemical reaction engineering
  • process design
  • heat and mass transfer
  • process control

The syllabus of Chemical Engineering or that of any other branch of Engineering is the same across all universities and sometimes even the books are the same. Every Institute carries out lab work, practical assignments, and projects according to its faculty, infrastructure, and the quality of exposure offered to students. What differs is the ambiance in which students are taught. This largely depends on the quality of the batch the Institute attracts.

Many confuse chemistry with Chemical Engineering though both are poles apart. Chemistry defines the number of parameters, quantity, and form of chemicals to produce a product whereas Chemical Engineering specifies the method of operation in order to achieve the parameters. 

The most common sector for chemical engineering is Oil & Gas, Refinery, and Petrochemicals. These industries will not only offer a high-paying job but also provide you with enough international exposure. A highly skilled chemical engineer is paid well.

How was your interview experience at SPJIMR for the Operations stream?

KS

Former Product Design Engineer at Caterpillar (company)

The interview experience of a student at SPJIMR for the operations stream with an academic score of 9/9/8 and 32 months of work experience is provided below.

During the WAT, his laptop crashed yet he managed to complete the topic in the last 7 minutes. Group Interview 1 consisted of 2 panelists, a male, and a female, and 4 applicants, including 2 Operations, 1 Finance, and 1 Marketing where he was questioned about his job role, the supply chain system, his competitors in the industry, and his biggest challenge during Covid-19. The female panelist asked about the importance of inventory management and establishing a plant in the city. 

In Group Interview 2, the panelists were 1 male and 1 female, and the applicants included 1 Operation, 1 IM, 1 Finance, and 1 Marketing where he was asked about courage vs. foolishness, what his parents don't like about him, and how he would handle a situation where someone asks for an under-the-table commission. 

Ultimately, he cleared both group interviews and was converted. He says that success in MBA interviews is not just about knowledge, but also about staying calm in unprecedented situations and showcasing your problem-solving skills.

What are the chances of getting a job in Dubai post an MBA from SPJIMR Mumbai? What is the kind of profiles students from SPJIMR get (in Dubai)?

SJ
Sakshi Jha Posted On : March 13th, 2023
MBA Marketing, S. P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (2018)

Your skill set is the most important factor that determines your employability in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. This skill set is something that you can develop over time with experience.

Keep in mind that there are very few opportunities for freshers from SPJIMR post an MBA, although IIM-K is a separate case. If you are a Keralite or a Malayali, the UAE may be another option to consider.

Recruiters in the GCC region will always prefer someone who knows Arabic, French, or other foreign languages. This is something that you can work on and improve over time.

After a few years of solid work experience, your chances of getting a job in the GCC region are higher. However, keep in mind that recruiters have plenty of options to choose from when it comes to hiring, especially for jobs that require cheap labor from Asian countries.

In the Middle East, your experience matters a lot, as well as your ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment. You need to be able to adapt quickly and work efficiently to succeed.

It's important to note that Western nationalities also have an edge in the Gulf job market. If a company has the option to choose between a Marketing person with similar skill sets, an average-looking Indian guy, and a Western-style icon with a model-like personality, they will most likely choose the latter. This is because most jobs in the Gulf require excellent communication skills, a little bit of relevant experience, and a Driving License.

Could anyone explain how CBSE students get admission to Anna university?

KS
Karan Singh Posted On : December 5th, 2022
BE in Electrical Engineering, Anna University, Tamil Nadu, India (Graduated 2018)

In Anna University counseling, CBSE students are not given any special consideration. Officially, they claim that CBSE students' grades are moderated, but the process is as follows. They take into account the highest mark obtained by a student in that subject across India. Because it will be 100, if you get 85, your grade will not change.

The CBSE cut-off is calculated in such a way that,

((Mathematics marks) + ((Physics + Chemistry marks)/2))

As a result of the cut-off calculation, CBSE students are always at a significant disadvantage when competing with state board students. Even if a student achieves 95 in each of the three subjects, the cut-off is 190, which is low when compared to state board students.

The following are some of the other options:

SSN has its own meritorious management quota. If you are chosen, you will be subjected to a test and an interview.

Many other colleges, such as Loyola and Rajalakshmi, provide meritorious management seats that you can apply for.
