How is NIT Raipur IT branch?

SN
Samrat Nayak Posted On : April 13th, 2021
B.Tech Information Technology, National Institute of Technology, Raipur (2019)

One of my friends pursued Mechanical Engineering from NIT Raipur. So, I know a little bit about the institute. Some of the most promising features I found about NIT Raipur are as follows:

  • The faculty here is absolutely well trained, experienced and attentive to the particular needs of every student.
  • Here you will experience a supportive environment and independent learning culture. A wide range of multiple competitions to take part in ensuring sportsmanship development. Attendance does not impact your marks that much.
  • A lot of internships are offered to CS students in companies like UHG, SORROCO, WIPRO, to name a few.
  • Off-campus placements and opportunities are offered. I know of a handful of students who got placed in Microsoft in off-campus placements.
  • The claim of 100% placement is fairly correct with the average package being 3.5 LPA to 32.5 LPA on campus in companies such as Amazon, Samsung, UHG, Capgemini, Infosys, Wipro, Polaris, and more.
  • The average CPI at NIT Raipur is 9+, thus making the scoring pattern very student-friendly. For all those preparing for CAT, these scores will be very beneficial.
  • The lab facilities available at the institute are quite good. 
  • The college also organizes coding competitions and hackathons. 
  • It has a well-established alumni base across the country, as a student of the institute you will have access to that.
  • NIT Raipur also offers branch sliding. 
  • The closing rank for the IT branch is lower for both home state and other states as compared to CS. However, as a student of IT, you will enjoy the same opportunities as CS students. 
  • NIT Raipur has a ‘one student, one placement’ rule. But there’s a team named ‘DREAM’. When the placement average for any branch goes over 75%, students are allowed to sit for dream companies i.e. the companies offering higher CTC.

Overall, IT at NIT Raipur is a good branch, with decent placement records.

What should a 1st year IET Lucknow student know from the IT branch?

SC
Saksham Chaudhary Posted On : August 5th, 2021
Studied at Institute of Engineering and Technology, Lucknow (2018)

My sister is an alumnus of the IET Lucknow IT branch and here is some of her advice regarding the branch. 

  • First and foremost, you must identify which field you are interested in. If you want to work in software development, you should be able to create code in an object-oriented programming language like C++ or Python, and you should practice by solving puzzles on Hackerrank.
  • You should enter several programming competitions; code chef long and lunchtime are highly suggested. Basic data structures can also be learned via Mycodeschool and you can practice on Hackerank and Geeksforgeeks.

Now let’s talk about the IT branch at IET Lucknow.

  • There is no difference between IT and the CS branch. Both branches face the same situations and follow the same curriculum. 
  • Only TCS and WIPRO are the regular companies to attend the placement drive; the rest are uncertain. Occasionally, a large number of companies will arrive, while other times, none. According to the placement statistics of 2020, the median CTC offered was 5 LPA.

So, unless you have some senior help, the development of your talents is entirely dependent on your own hard work.

How good is IT MNNIT Allahabad?

SG
Sudeshna Ghose Posted On : April 29th, 2021
Studied at MNNIT Allahabad

The Information Technology (IT) branch at MNNIT Allahabad is as good as the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) branch at the institute. There is not a major difference between the two branches.

  • Course Structure: Many people have the notion that IT students are not taught coding. This is totally wrong and almost 80% of the course structure of both the branches are identical. There are some CSE subjects such as Microprocessor, Embedded, etc. which are not taught in the IT branch, and some IT subjects such as Graphics which are not taught in CSE. Else all other important subjects such as Operating System (OS), Networking, etc. are taught in both the branches. 
  • Placements: In terms of placements, barring very few companies such as C-DOT, a Government of India (GoI) enterprise, almost all companies allow both CSE and IT, students, during their campus placement process. It’s pretty common to find someone from the IT branch and someone from the CSE branch being recruited in the same company in the placement drive. So, you need not worry about placements from the IT branch.
  • Professors and Grades: The same subjects are taught by different professors in the two branches. This sometimes fuels the feeling of a bias of the institute towards the CSE branch among the IT guys which is not entirely true. Even though the professors are different, exams are written by you. So, study well and secure good grades.

The bottom line is that if you are not getting CSE, then you should definitely consider IT if you are interested in coding.

Placements: Almost all companies that visit the campus to recruit CSE students also make the IT branch eligible to apply, barring only a very few. The table below shows the placement statistics for the two branches for the academic year 2020.

Branch 

Eligible Students

96.4%

Coding Culture: Many students from the IT branch do coding. The number even increases near placements. If we compare the number of coders in CSE and IT, it will be almost the same. Students have also started contributing to the open-source platforms. So, all in all, the coding culture is also good and improving each day.

Finally, the IT branch at MNNIT Allahabad is a very good choice for academics as well as your future career growth and should be definitely considered.

Should I prefer IEM Kolkata IT or Heritage institute technology ECE?

Devdeep Banerjee Posted On : June 15th, 2022
B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata

IEM Kolkata IT will be comparably better. Although IEM has pretty strict rules in place, it offers better opportunities in terms of academics and placements. According to the stats of recent IEM placements, each year around 90% of students get placed each year from IT. The highest CTC for the branch is INR 40 LPA. 

Heritage Institute of Technology is a good option, if you want to pursue research or MS, further.

How is IT at NIT Jalandhar, placement-wise and academically?

RB
Rahul Bisht Posted On : January 4th, 2023
Works at Maruti Suzuki

NIT Jalandhar's IT department is thriving. Students have access to the best teachers and air-conditioned classrooms. All of the teachers are highly qualified, with the majority holding doctorates in their respective fields. There is no reason to doubt their intelligence because the majority of these teachers are graduates of prestigious colleges such as IITs and NITs.

For the past 2-3 years, CSE placements have been the best in the region; you can expect the same from IT, as 50% of companies coming for CSE deal with this field.

After their second year, Microsoft comes to campus to recruit students for internships. Microsoft offers a package worth around 40 lacs per year, which is comparable to Amazon's package. Overall, the placement is excellent. Many reputable IT companies visit NIT Jalandhar and offer attractive packages to students. Companies such as Amazon, JPMC, Oracle, Samsung, Adobe, Ion Trading, Oyo Rooms, Mu Sigma, and many others come to recruit students at the college. Other branches can also benefit from the placement. 100% of CSE, IT, and ECE students are placed.

How difficult is it to change branch from ECE to IT in IIIT-Allahabad?

NG
Neha Ghosh Posted On : March 24th, 2021
Studied B.Tech at IIIT Allahabad (2019)

Well that is neither difficult nor simple. It actually primarily depends on how many students are opting for IT in IIIT Allahabad. It is almost impossible to guess what the cut-offs are going to be. Although there is a tough competition among students who wish to go for IT from ECE and you will have to clear that successfully.

How many students in your year are wishing to transfer from IT to EC will also matter in this aspect. Hence, rather than planning and thinking about what the cut off will be, the only thing that you should be doing is working very hard to score the best CGPA in your batch because only that is in your hands. Scoring CGPA above 9 makes it very easy for you to transfer from ECE to IT in IIIT Allahabad.

Obviously you should have all the basic knowledge and understanding such as C, C++, Java etc. before you think of switching your branch.
