AR

lives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

For every Engineering aspirant, choosing the branch is the most crucial task as it is an important step in shaping your career. I suggest you take your inclinations into consideration. No doubt, it’s difficult to identify your interests right after class 12th.

CSE in IIT Mandi

  • It’s almost been 14 years since the establishment of IIT Mandi and since then it has developed a lot.
  • IIT Mandi has a great faculty base with the Director himself from a CSE background.
  • IIT Mandi’s unique curriculum helps one to learn a lot of interdisciplinary subjects even more than other IITs apart from your core courses. This imparts interdisciplinary knowledge to the students.
  • Coding culture is improving exponentially. The increasing rate of GoSC selections is a testament to the same.
  • Placements are excellent with IIT Mandi's highest package standing at INR 60 LPA & IIT Mandi's average package recorded at INR 25.23 LPA.
  • The placement season witnesses a mix of both domestic and international offers. Recruiters like Flipkart, 1mg, Microsoft, Uber, Amazon, Walmart, etc participated in the placement drive this year.

The other options available with your rank are

  • IIT Guwahati ECE
  • IIT Guwahati MNC

The best way would be to do extensive research about both colleges, make a list of things that you are looking for in your B.Tech program, prioritize and quantify them and then take the final decision.

AS
Aditya Sinha Posted On : January 16th, 2021
Computer Science Student at BITS Pilani KK Birla Goa Campus (2018)

Most people who appear for BITSAT and clear it are good at PCM. Most of them also rank well in JEE Main and JEE Advanced too (these only tests PCM). Since the BITSAT syllabus covers PCM, English, and Logical Reasoning, your total score depends a lot on how you perform in the English section.

The English proficiency test of the BITSAT syllabus is as follows.

Sections

Syllabus

Grammar

Agreement, relative pronouns, tense, parallel constructions, determiners, adjectives, modals, prepositions, voice, phrasal verbs, questions tags

Vocabulary

Synonyms/antonyms, One word, homophones, spelling, odd words, analogy, contextual meaning, jumbled letters

Reading Comprehension

Content, rewording, idioms, vocabulary, referents

Composition

Paragraph unity, rearrange, linkers

So, put a little effort into preparing for the English section. Given below are a few tips which can be helpful for the preparation.

  • Follow and practice from Arihant’s BITSAT Books. It has lots of questions and practice papers.
  • Study English newspapers daily to remain up-to-date with the examination announcements. In addition, it will also enhance your vocabulary.
  • Before examinations, practice test papers too. 

Good marks in the non-PCM subjects can be the difference between Goa, Hyderabad, and Pilani. It can also be the difference between branches. If you are generally good at English, you can easily do well in the section. Otherwise, practice well and try to perform your best in the exam. Preparing for English does not take much time but it can be quite helpful to secure a good score.

I have to choose between CSE (preferred branch) at MIT Manipal and chemical engineering at NIT Surathkal or BITS Pilani - Goa campus (preferred colleges). What should I choose?

Supriya Sarkar Posted On : May 29th, 2021

The best option for you is to take up an M.Sc. degree at the BITS Pilani Goa campus. The M.Sc. degrees that are offered are Maths, Physics, Economics, Biology, and Chemistry.

Category

CSE at MIT Manipal

Chemical at NIT Surathkal

Chemical at BITS Pilani

Total Fee

17.06 lakhs

5.45 lakh

19.19 lakhs

Companies Visited

Deloitte, Adani, etc.

L&T, ZS, etc.

Deloitte, TCS, Dell, etc.

Highest Package

43.31 LPA

37 LPA

45-54 LPA

Average Package

7.5 LPA

8 LPA

12 LPA

If you are confused about the stream, let me give you a clear idea.

  • In the first year, the students get to know all subjects. 
  • They get an opportunity to interact with their seniors from other streams. 
  • Eventually, they can opt for the B.E. degree after the first year ends. 
  • The most difficult to get is Computer Science as the student is required to maintain a CGPA of 8+ in their first year. 

Pros of choosing BITS:

  • Of the three options, BITS Pilani is considered to be the most reputed.
  • Foreign Universities recognize BITS, IITs and some NITs. This will gives you a slightly better chance of getting an MS to admit.
  • The network of BITS alumni is very strong. You can easily get referrals from the top firms for jobs as well as internships.

Cons 

  • If you want to opt for Chemical Engineering as your B.E. degree, a CGPA of 5 will be enough but if you want to opt for subjects like Computer Science, you will have to acquire an 8+ CGPA.

Therefore, going for BITS Pilani is concluded as the best choice. One should not decide in haste.

NIT Warangal is far better than DTU and NSIT, especially for the CSE branch. Let us look into each factor in detail

They encourage students to build industrial projects. This attracts recruiters to the campus with high salary packages.

Which one should I go for, SPJIMR or IIM L?

NJ
Netra Joshi Posted On : March 15th, 2023
Studied at IIM Lucknow

 IIM Lucknow is ranked as one of the top 5 business schools in the country, while SP Jain is typically ranked somewhere between 6-10. Choosing IIM Lucknow over SP Jain is a wise decision, as IIM Lucknow has a larger and more prestigious brand. The institute has a better reputation among companies, a stronger alumni network, and slightly better placement opportunities.

While SP Jain may have a location advantage, it won't make a significant difference as there will be plenty of opportunities available to you at IIM L. It's important to do your own research when making decisions, but in this case, it's a no-brainer. Choosing IIM Lucknow is the clear choice, especially when compared to other business schools like SP Jain, IIM K, IIM I, MDI, and JBIMS.

If you have the opportunity to choose between SPJIMR and IIM L, head all the way to Lucknow without a second thought
