Which branch should I take in NIT Silchar mechanical or ECE?
In my opinion, you alone can decide the best branch for yourself and others can only guide you. If you are evaluating and comparing branches based on placements, then trust me it won’t help in the long run. Unless you are genuinely interested in the branch, you won’t be able to pursue a career in it for a long time.
Mechanical
- If you are inclined towards stuff like automobiles, heavy machinery, or design, or want to work in a good PSU then choose Mechanical.
- One needs to be aware of the fact that this branch is completely core-based so you will be studying only core concepts for 4 years.
- The placements of core mechanical are quite better than ECE.
- Students of the Mechanical branch can go for Mechanical-related jobs only and most software companies won't allow Mechanical students to sit for their placements.
- Mechanical has more PSU placements but Mechanical has much higher and tougher competition compared to ECE.
ECE
- If you are interested in small electronic devices, Arduino, IoT, Integrated circuits and diodes, fabrications, and chip design, or want to pursue a career in coding and programming then you should go for ECE.
- This branch is a mix of core ECE and software/IT, i.e. ECE's major role will be played by software only during placements.
- ECE core can be helpful if you want to pursue higher education.
So, make sure you go for the branch that intrigues you and not the one that offers better placements.

Which is better for CSE, Amity University Lucknow or Galgotia University Greater Noida?

Accommodation: (Winning Institute - Amity University Lucknow)
- Sometimes it becomes difficult to socialize and adapt to a new place. The hostel facilities at Galgotias University are not up to the mark.
- Many people opt to live in PGs and flats after their first year, as the hostel facilities are not good.
Faculty: (Winning Institute - Amity University Lucknow)
The faculty for CSE at GU is not up to the mark at GU. Hardly, one out of the 7 teachers is good at Galgotias University. Amity has a better ratio than this.
Campus:
- The fees for Galgotias is not economical and feasible for the least facilities they provide.
- The university neither has playgrounds for every sport nor the sports equipment. It does not have an auditorium either.
The suggestion will be to choose Amity University Lucknow for BTech CS.
What is the University of Oklahoma and the surrounding area like?
Overall, University of Oklahoma has a great life based in the town of Norman. It has a beautiful campus with good landscaping and huge trees. You will definitely love walking to classes in spring. Additionally, the architecture has a sort of Gothic feel to it with a huge library. Do check out the Great Reading Room in the library.
There are also some fraternities and sororities on campus. Rent and housing prices are also quite affordable since the town is small. The old homes near the campus are pricier. Some amazing things you should know about OU:
- There is a good football life on campus and the enthusiasm is quite contagious. Do go watch the Sooners play if you get the chance.
- There is beautiful Cherokee Gothic architecture around the campus which is quite popular among the masses.
- The university is also affiliated with Universities Research Association, Association of Public Land grant universities and is also accredited by Higher Learning Commission.
- There are rumours that the college lacks cultural diversity but is listed as a Tier 2 institute.
The campus is quite big (Around 3000 acres I think) and you will be able to avail a number of student services too. You should definitely visit the campus library and museums. Another major perk is that cars are allowed on campus, which will help you navigate around faster.
Norman is a great town and is quite safe. Best part is, it will probably take you about 20 minutes to get from one end of the town to another. There are a couple of Walmarts, Targets and Victoria’s with grocery stores littered all over the town. Overall, you can expect to have a decent university life and affordable living at Norman and University of Oklahoma.
Why is it said that IIM Calcutta gives a second chance to the students whose academics are not good to shine again in life?
According to popular perception, IIM Calcutta places a high value on CAT scores, so you can overcome your previous academic failures and gain admission to a tier 1 MBA college by working hard on the CAT.
The reality, however, is quite different. People who have done well in CAT are generally people who have done well in academics in the past, i.e. 10th and 12th grades. This is because the basics are retested in CAT if you put in the effort back then. So the only thing you can get away with in IIM C is your graduation score. However, some top companies use this to shortlist candidates for summer placements.
Which is better opt IIT Delhi maths and computing or CSE at NIT Warangal, NIT Surathkal or IIIT Bangalore CSE?
Without any second thoughts, IIT Delhi MnC is the best option among all the aforementioned colleges. It's one of the top 5 IIts and moreover, its MnC program is highly sought after by engineering aspirants. The preference order in your case should be
- IIT Delhi MnC
- NITK CSE
- NITW CSE
- IIIT B CSE
It's safe to say that none of the above colleges can match the standard of IIT Delhi, which is in itself a brand. MnC is quite similar to CSE though a few core computer courses are not included. Also, this branch is handled by the Mathematics department and not the CSE department. However, if you are more inclined towards CSE than MnC, then the best options for you would be IITR or IITG CSE.
Why are people still not aware about institutes like IIIT Hyderabad and IIIT Allahabad?
We interact with more than 100 people daily so you cannot expect everyone to be aware of IIIT Hyderabad and IIIT Allahabad. Moreover, you should stop valuing people's opinions on these aspects of life. You alone are responsible for your life and career.
Everyone has their own opinions. In today's age of blind competition and instant gratification, people resort to such things as it gratifies them instantly.
So, it’s better to stay away from such discussions.
Should I take CSE at B.P. Poddar or go for CSE at Heritage Institute of Technology through the management quota?
Heritage would be far better for your career than B.P.Poddar, in terms of educational facilities and campus infrastructure. The environment is good and the members of the faculty are helpful and nice.
I have visited both of these colleges and am familiar with them. If you want to have a fantastic college experience, Heritage would prove to be the best choice for you.
It could be a bit pricey if you use Management Quota. However, HIT offers good placement for CSE. In the recent placement drive, the average CTC offered at the institute was 4 LPA and the highest was 16 LPA.
Which is better, NIT Raipur or LNMIIT Jaipur?
If you are getting CSE at LNMIIT, go for it. Do not choose a branch just for the sake of the NIT tag. After completing the degree you may only have placement options in MNCs like TCS, Infosys, etc. I know many people from unknown branches of IIIT working in service companies. So, you get the idea.
- If you are one of the top students at LNMIIT Jaipur, you can easily secure a placement package of around 7-8 LPA.
- According to the recent industry trends, for securing good placement offers you need to be good at coding. And LNMIIT has a developed coding culture.
The table below shows a brief overview of the two institutes.

If you have the option, you can join NIT Raipur CSE too. The placement will be slightly better as compared to LNMIIT.
Which is good for M.Tech in Chemical Engineering IIT Kharagpur or Madras?
IIT Madras is the best choice for MTech in Chemical Engineering. Some reasons that support my claim are
- Being a metropolitan, Madras ensures better living standards and transport facilities thus attracting more faculty.
- The R and D centers of most top MNCs are located in Bangalore and Mumbai. Owing to the proximity Madras is preferred over KGP.
- Most process industries prefer BTech students over MTech students as chemical engineers. Only R and D and Consulting companies look for MTech students for core jobs.
- Better facilities attract better students thus you will find a better class of peers at IIT Madras in contrast to IIT KGP.
- The faculty comprises professors belonging to various fields and cultures whereas IIT KGP has more Bengali professors.
Thus, considering the demand for PG students and facilities at IIT Madras, it seems to be a better option for MTech than KGP.
