Evaluating and choosing colleges based on NIRF rankings is purely illogical as the criteria these ranking bodies consider are unrelated to your degree. Rather, you should consider the facilities provided by the institute and your personal preferences. That being said, IIT Jodhpur is a great choice among the aforementioned institutes. 

  • Placements: IIT Jodhpur placement scenario is like no other new IIT even giving an edge to the old IITs. IIT Jodhpur's average package is INR 17 LPA and the highest is INR 40 LPA.

  • Facilities: The institute boasts well-equipped labs and departments. IIT Patna has the fastest commercially available AI solution in the world, the DGX-2. 
  • Batch size: The small batch size ensures more resources per student. The resources you cannot use at other IITs during your UG years can be easily accessed here. At IIT Patna students working on projects in AI and ML access the computers to conduct research.
  • New branches: IIT Patna likes to keep up with the industry trends and has launched new branches like AI and Data Science, Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Civil Engineering. 
  • Hostel: The hostel facilities are no less and to get single AC rooms and decent food in the mess.
  • Campus life: IIT Patna organizes the biggest cultural fest in the North-Western part of India called Ignus which invites big stars.

BE from Visvesvaraya Technological University (2017)

If you fail in a subject in the final year of Engineering at VTU, you will get a year back. You will have to wait another year to clear the subject. You won’t get your degree until you clear all the subjects.

Is Aligarh Muslim University good enough for a B.Tech, compared to private universities like VIT, SRM, Manipal and Thapar?

RV
Rohan Verma Posted On : February 6th, 2024
Studied at AMU

AMU is better than VIT, SRM, Manipal and Thapar in many respects. AMU offers top notch facilities like these private colleges, but its fees are way less in comparison. 

Here are the goods and bads of joining AMU-

  1. AMU has very good placements for CS, Electronics and Electrical branches. 
  2. The cost of study and hostels is extremely pocket friendly. 
  3. The campus is great and very safe for girls.
  4. The faculty and infrastructure are both top notch. The CS and Electronics teachers have worked in the past for MNCs like Cisco and Microsoft.
  5. The library and book banks allow easy access to books for those who suffer from financial difficulties.
  6. The core branches (civil, mechanical and chemical) do not get core placement offers on campus. But one who knows his/her subjects well and has a good CPI, can easily acquire a good core job off campus. Core branches usually receive software related jobs offers during campus placements. 
  7. Some freshers might feel a cultural shock at AMU, but they’ll eventually adapt to their new environment. 

Aligarh Muslim University is a more reputable brand in comparison to private colleges, and its education is much more affordable. You must work hard and get a good rank to get admission into AMU.

Is Kurukshetra University good for a B.Tech?

SK
Saheli Koul Posted On : October 1st, 2021
B.Tech (Mechanical) from Kurukshetra University (2017)

Some of my friends studied at Kurukshetra University. According to them, it hardly matters from which University you have graduated. All that matters is what you have learned in all those years. Here are some things about the college:

  • The professors there should be well qualified, they must pay much attention to co-curriculum and above all good placements.
  • Honestly speaking, my friends suggest that there isn't any good in doing B.Tech from Kurukshetra University. 
  • This is because the colleges affiliated with it are worth nothing. 
  • There are very few placements in the colleges and the staff is also not organized.
  • The main concern of the students in KUK is the results. 
  • It has a record of very poor results whose blame can be put on both the University as well as the students. 
  • Furthermore, the curriculum is also not updated.
Categories B.Tech at Kurukshetra University
Course Fee 3.36 lakh
Highest CTC 12-15 LPA
Average CTC 6-8 LPA
Recruiting Companies CTS, Reliance, TCS, Deloitte, etc.

Lastly, it is suggested that, though the university is “A” graded and one of the old universities it's worth nothing, getting a degree from Kurukshetra University.

I have got a CGPA of 6.5 in my first semester of BTech in IIIT-Hyderabad. Can I improve it till 8.5 for getting an admission offer in a prestigious management institute in IIMs or ISB?

KP
Karthikeyan Palanisamy Posted On : January 30th, 2023
MBA Finance and Strategy, Indian School of Business (2017)

People usually have two opinions regarding MBA admissions. First, the admissions have little to do with numbers, second, CGPA and numbers are extremely crucial. My answer is here to support the second opinion and she’s light on the importance of CGPA.

Don’t decide on your next degree hastily before even completing the first one. You may want to explore more interests before deciding what you want to finally choose. Most people in IIT commit the grave mistake of not focusing on their Academics because they think that the ECE or IT sector is not their cup of tea. They forget that they are among the best computer science minds right now and do not make the best use of this opportunity. Identifying the opportunities offered by the institute is a crucial step before deciding on your future career. Even if after enough reflection you realize that the IT sector is not for you, you may explore other options.

Recently many alumni of IIIT Hyderabad have joined as graduates of IIMs after gaining work experience. But almost every alumnus I have looked up had an excellent CGPA, nothing less than 8.5.

So CGPA is not the only factor but is one of the most important factors during admissions at IIMs. One can get into an IIM even with an average CGPA but having a good CGPA will increase the plethora of opportunities definitely.

Is kakatiya university good (for b.tech)?

MG
Malabika Ghose Posted On : October 30th, 2021
ME in Sanitation Science Technology and Management at BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus (2021)

I have a few friends who went to Kakatiya University. According to their opinion, it is not a good option for pursuing your B.Tech. 

  • The faculty base is not good.
  • There are no such lab facilities available.
  • The mid-term exams are taken after the compilation of the semester examinations.
  • In a semester, the first 4-5 months there will be almost no classes, and the syllabus is completed in the last 10 days or so.

Kakatiya University will not help you learn and develop the skills you require to do well in your career. If you have other better options, go for them instead.
