What is better for mathematics and computing, IIT Kanpur vs IIT Kharagpur vs IIT Guwahati vs IIT BHU?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : March 30th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

If you are interested in CSE but choosing Mathematics and Computing just for the sake of overlapping courses, then trust me you are making the wrong decision. I have seen many CSE branch seekers taking Mathematics and Computer to land CSE-related jobs. Let me tell you frankly, Mathematics and Computing are no substitutes for Computer Science.

If you want to get a deeper understanding of this, go through the Syllabus of Mathematics. You will find most courses that are theoretical, abstract, and purely mathematical and very few courses related to Computer Science. Mathematics at IITs is not everyone’s cup of tea. It is extremely tough, unlike JEE Math. 

However, if you are passionate about Mathematics and want to pursue a research career in it, go for it. The courses might include lengthy proofs of Mathematical Induction and set and relation theory. Discuss the curriculum once with students of Mathematics at IIT and then make the final decision. Usually, the coursework in Mathematics and Computing is the same for all the IIT Branches.

To sum it up, if you are planning to take Mathematics and Computers just for the CSE courses, please make a better decision. My best advice would be to go for CSE in a better engineering college like IIT Hyderabad or Indore.

Is mathematics in IISc Bangalore at par with CMI?

AS
Anirban Sarkar Posted On : March 30th, 2022
Chennai Mathematical Institute (2016)

CMI offers a more Mathematics oriented program. For pure Mathematics, it is a better option.

  • CMI curriculum has Maths/CS, and Maths/Physics options. At IISc first three semesters are common. During these semesters you will be studying Engineering, Material Science, EVS, Humanities, etc. 
  • CMI Maths syllabus is more theory-oriented. You will get to learn abstract concepts. IISc follows a more balanced curriculum. During the first three years, you will need to attend both theory and lab classes. 

CMI Maths framework and teaching methodology are more suited for students who are genuinely interested in Mathematics.

How do I clear maths papers in Anna University exams?

BN
Bharat Nataranjan Posted On : December 16th, 2022
Studied Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science and Engineering at Siddaganga Institute of Technology (Graduated 2022)

The key to clear Math papers at Anna University is studying the previous 5 years question papers thoroughly. Firstly determine which are the main topics covered repeatedly and start practicing them. Learn all the important formulas You can also refer to the internal tests paper in your college. If you compare the internal paper with the previous year's papers you will find certain topics are repeatedly asked. These topics demand the most focus.

Apart from this if you have any class notes try solving those questions. You can also refer to the previous year's questions mentioned in the math textbooks. Refer to local authors only as they will be more than enough.

Lastly, a practical subject like Math requires a lot of practice.

What is the best DTU maths and computing or NSIT instrumentation?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 23rd, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Both the Delhi Technological University DTU Department of Mathematics and Computing and NSIT Department of Instrumentation and Control Engineering are well-respected institutions with strong programs in their respective fields. Choosing one between the two will depend on your personal interests and career goals. 

  • MCE at DTU is very similar to COE, whereas ICE at NSIT is a combination of both COE and Electronics.
  • MCE lays down a strong foundation for Maths that is an indispensable part of Computer Science.
  • If you are looking for hefty placements, ICE isn’t a good option. 

Ultimately, the final choice depends on your preferences.

How is mathematics at SVNIT?

KC
Kiran Chugh Posted On : May 29th, 2021

Mathematics at SVNIT is not great. According to my sister studying there, the teaching way is not good. 

  • In the first year, you will only be given a cookie-cutter solution instead of making you understand why a particular idea works or where it can be applied.
  • In the fourth semester, your time will be wasted by deriving basic three theorems, each four pages long. You would be expected to do rote learning.
  • Even though Fourier Analysis is the crux of all modern technology. Data analysis techniques are parallel to PCA in many ways. Not more than a week is dedicated to it.
  • Former students were advised to buy a book by Kachot which is full of errors and to just rote learn all the questions and get full points on the exams. 
  • A better book by B. S. Grewal can help you to understand concepts like ODEs and the Taylor Expansion. 
  • The test just includes the derivations of the three theorems. If you had not memorized the theorems, in no way, the paper could be completed on time.

The Mathematics Department is very disappointing. The lecturers do not teach well and they barely understand the material themselves. They are also quite lazy about their responsibilities towards their students.

What are the best mathematics books for UPTU or AKTU?

AV
Atul Verma Posted On : November 17th, 2022
B.Tech. from Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (Graduated 2019)

The external exams at AKTU are more like CBSE exams as they don’t put much effort in changing the pattern of the paper. The purpose of university exams is to check your knowledge in a particular subject and not compete. So they don’t give out of syllabus questions. 

You don’t have to refer to high-tech competitive books. The best books for these exams are:

  • Engineering Mathematics by N.P. Bali

  • Introduction to Engineering Mathematics by H.K. Das

  • Previous year papers

  • Quantum Publication 

This study material is enough to get you well through the AKTU exams.

How is Mathematics taught at NIT Hamirpur?

SV
Shivangi Verma Posted On : September 13th, 2023
B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur (2019)

The teaching methodology for Math is a bit disappointing at NIT Hamirpur. 

Mostly the faculty refers to Dr. Sunil’s notes for teaching, even though they can refer to any source. The problem arises when question papers contain the same example questions that are present in these notes. This promotes cramming. Students simply cram all the steps of example questions and rewrite them in their answer sheets. 

This is an injustice to those who are genuinely interested in Mathematics. If you are one of them, you will learn only the concepts. With some effort, you will eventually solve the exam questions. However, you will also require a while to first understand each question. Eventually, you’ll solve a lesser number of questions than the person who crammed all the steps. 

This system has a detrimental effect on a student’s interest in Mathematics. Cramming becomes the most effective route towards scoring top grades. This will leave you in a dilemma- either you can run behind marks, or the pure joy of mathematical problem-solving. The best way of reviving your interest is through free online courses.

Thus, Math teaching is not good at NIT Hamirpur. This practice needs to change.

Who are the best professors from Mathematics department at IIT Kanpur?

AT
Ayushi Tiwari Posted On : April 25th, 2023
IIT Kanpur (2019)

My sister was a student in the Mathematics department at IIT Kanpur and her favorite professor was Professor Amit Mitra. He had many unique styles that made him the apple of everyone’s eye.

  • He would drop emails to students personally at the end of semesters commending them for their performance 
  • He would always regrade his papers to minimize any issues
  • Once, a mid-semester paper was more difficult than usual. He conducted research on the students who performed poorly despite being regular and asked for their feedback on how to conduct classes in the future. He also discussed the mistakes these students made and the possible solutions.
  • He regularly conducted quizzes to evaluate the students on a regular basis.
  • He is a very emphatic, approachable, and understanding professor who gives it all to clear the concepts
  • His mobile number is public and anyone can contact him

All these distinguish him from other professors and tutors of the department!

Which college is better for Maths (hons) Deen Dayal Upadhyaya or Sri Venkateswara College?

GV
Geeta Verma Posted On : November 26th, 2021
studied at Sri Venkateswara College, Delhi University (2017)

Among Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College (DDUC) or Sri Venkateswara College (SVC) it will be better if you go for SVC.

Here are some reasons:

  • SVC is located in the South campus and is considered one of the best colleges under DU.
  • DDUC is a much newer establishment and has not yet reached SVCs level of popularity.
  • SVC is also known for its brand which gives an upper hand during off campus placements.
  • The Mathematics department in SVC is the best. DDUC is not even close to its standard.
  • SVC has a well experienced and respected faculty.
  • The crowd at SVC is also very competitive, which maintains a proper educational atmosphere in the campus.
Categories DDUC SVC
Course Fee INR 45,150 INR 36,348
Average CTC 4-6 LPA 2.5-5 LPA
Recruiting Companies DE Shaw, Byju’s, etc. KPMG, Deloitte, EY, etc.

Therefore, it is suggested you go for SVC as it will provide you with better exposure and opportunities.
