Which is better, Manipal University Jaipur or Nirma University?

ST
Siddharth Thapar Posted On : April 6th, 2023
Studied at Manipal Institute of Technology (2019)

 If you want to develop yourself during your undergrad studies, Manipal University Jaipur is an excellent choice compared to Nirma University. Here are some reasons why:

  • Manipal University Jaipur has students from all over the country, providing an opportunity to meet people from diverse backgrounds. In contrast, Nirma University mostly has students from Gujarat.
  • Manipal University Jaipur has been rated A+ by NAAC, while Nirma University has an A grade. This rating is based on several factors such as teaching, research, infrastructure, and governance, indicating the high-quality academics and teaching at MUJ.
  • The admission process at MUJ is based on the Manipal Entrance Test, without any reservation category issues. In contrast, Nirma University fills 50% of seats with ACPC, Gujarat. The remaining 50% of seats are filled by JEE Main/GUJCET score and NRI candidates.
  • MUJ provides hostel facilities with great infrastructure opposite the campus. Hostel fees might seem slightly expensive, but the facilities provided are excellent, including a half-size Olympic swimming pool, indoor sports, and great food.
  • MUJ has various student clubs that focus on technical and cultural aspects. There are opportunities to participate in social work as well.
  • Students need to maintain only a minimum of 75% attendance compared to Nirma University's strict 85% attendance policy, which gives ample time to focus on building skills and extracurricular activities.
  • MUJ provides research opportunities for students, and they can work with faculties on their projects, which gives them practical exposure.
  • The college has tie-ups with Microsoft, Autodesk, and Verizon, providing access to licensed software for free. They also have a tie-up with Coursera that provides access to a large variety of paid courses in all fields for free.

However, there are some issues that you might face at MUJ:

  • WiFi speed is slow, with a quota of 60GB per month allotted for B.Tech students.
  • The centrally controlled AC/heater works only from 6 pm - 6 am on weekdays, depending on the weather.
  • Many events are happening throughout the year, so it might be easy to get distracted from your studies.

Studied at Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Management, New Delhi

The choice here ultimately comes down to your interest. First, decide whether you are interested in pursuing specialized MBA courses like MBA in finance or are you more inclined towards MBA general where you can opt for a specialization in your second year.

I have some friends at LBSIM Delhi. So, can give you some insight into the institute.

Specializations: You will be having a variety of specializations to choose from if you go for LIBSIM. You will get an enormous amount of exposure in terms of corporate, guest lecturers, meet-ups with major industrialists if you opt for this B-School.

Location: When it comes to location, there is an advantage too, located in Delhi which is India's capital and surrounded by two major industrial hubs, Gurgaon and Noida.

Alumni Base: Alumni base of LIBSIM is strong and the institute has maintained an amazing placement record as well.

Is IITRAM better than Nirma & PDPU for civil engineering?

DM
Divyansh Modi Posted On : March 21st, 2023
Lives in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India

Absolutely, if you are interested in pursuing civil engineering in Gujarat, then IITRAM is a better option than Nirma and PDPU. There are several reasons for this.

  • IIT Gandhinagar is the mentor of IITRAM, and it has a COE by Siemens. This association ensures that IITRAM provides excellent facilities and exposure to its students.
  • IITRAM is the nodal centre in Gujarat for the E-Yantra project (Robotics) initiated by IIT Bombay. This project enables students to gain hands-on experience in robotics, which is essential in today's world.
  • The Board of Governance and Academic Council of IITRAM comprise directors, deans, and professors from IIT Gandhinagar, which is also reflected in the college's brochure. The faculty selection for IITRAM is done by IIT GN, and the syllabus is decided with the help of IITB.
  • IITRAM has a Siemens Centre of Excellence, which has nine extraordinary labs, along with 13 other labs, providing practical knowledge to students.

Therefore, if you are an ACPC student in Gujarat, it is a golden opportunity for you to pursue civil engineering at IITRAM.

However, it is essential to note that IITRAM is an excellent option only if you have an interest in core branches such as mechanical, electrical, or civil engineering. If you are interested in computer science, then you should prefer Nirma. On the other hand, if you are interested in petroleum, then PDPU would be a better option for you. LD is also a very good option for those who cannot afford Nirma and PDPU.
