Questions Asked On MAIT, New Delhi

When it comes to MAIT, it may not have the same coding environment as other colleges like MSIT or BVP. However, it is important to note that things are changing at MAIT, and there are opportunities for students to participate in coding competitions, Hackathons, Competitive Programming, Open Source, and more. 

• The availability of professors with research backgrounds is limited, and more could be done to expand opportunities for serious project work.
• The course curriculum at MAIT and IPU is outdated and may include subjects that are not directly relevant to CSE students.
• Placements at MAIT are strong, with companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Infosys, TCS, Wipro, and Accenture visiting the campus.

You will get an overview of the college from the video below

USICT has a good placement record. Some of the major recruiters at the institute are Nagarro, Impetus, Infogain, Infosys, Winsol, etc. And there are some companies that include Cognizant, TechMahindra that invite sit-in pool placements.

Other than that, one of the good things about USICT is that almost every student got placed from the CSE and IT departments.

Here is a brief highlight of the recent placement statistics at these institutes.

IGDTUW is better than USICT in terms of placements and packages but lacks behind in infrastructure.

There are a total of about 12 seats in the first shift of management quota admissions in MAIT, IPU, and a total of about 6 seats in the second shift in each branch of management quota in MAIT. 

In order to take up a management quota seat, you should have connections with any of the trustees of the college. Moreover, you must contact the college administrative block for more details. 

In addition to that, you must keep visiting the college on a regular basis and visit the college's official website frequently in order to get updated for every information. The management quota seats are limited and almost get filled up faster in the month of July.

The college is situated near my home and I have often interacted with the students. The following points are clearly based on my experience with students: 

• Location: The nearest metro station is at Rithala from Rohini PSP, around 7 km away. You can go to Rithala if you wish to go to Metro Walk or City Centre Mall, etc.
• Societies: There aren’t that many active societies in the college, just the one called Ayaam which is the dramatics and funk in motion dance society. A lot of mechanical students prefer to take part in Jatayu but this is only available for students from 3rd year onwards. Apart from this, you will mostly be attending lectures non-stop.
• Sports: There is an indoor badminton court and a fitness centre that only hostellers can use. Most other sports are non-existent except the volleyball team. There is just a namesake sports week that takes place in the winter.
• Fest: MAIT’s fest has definitely improved over the past few years and these are the only 2-3 days of college you will enjoy the most. They do not attract big celebrities, but it is a start.
• Professors: You will find professors from both extremes, some ready to impart knowledge to students whereas others who won’t care.
• Crowd: The crowd is here is definitely better than that at IPU. The college canteen is also decent but food outside the campus is definitely better.
• Life: Your workload is not going to reduce in college, so if you are looking for respite, you won’t find it. There will be lab work, assignments and project files to submit. Moreover, IPU’s curriculum is easy to crack and has remained stagnant over the years. You will not find much growth here. NSIT, DTU, and IIIT are much better in this matter.

If you are looking for college life, go to NSIT and DTU because life can get boring at MAIT. You will need to find friends who are willing to be there for you for your four years at MAIT otherwise it could get very boring.

You will get a friendly environment and culture to grow in MAIT. It doesn’t offer all the branches as lower-ranked government colleges. The culture here helps a student to develop the skills required after entering into the field.

One of my friends, who pursued his engineering in the CSE branch from MAIT, told me that no other branch than CSE gives high placements when compared with IPU government colleges. This plays a major role in getting placed in top companies. Many of his seniors have cracked CAT and got into IIMs.

It doesn’t matter from which college you are getting your degree, what matters is your goal and working hard to live it. There are many others, who have passed out from the government. colleges and are placed in top-notch companies. This happened because of the strong determination you have inside you. So just work hard and move on.
