Is there anything good about IEM, Kolkata for a BTech? Will we get any extra advantage studying in IEM?

SN
Subhashree Nath Posted On : March 22nd, 2021
B.Tech. Computer Science, Institute of Engineering and Management (2016)

A friend of mine did her BTech from IEM Kolkata and now she is working as a Cyber Security Analyst in a big firm. Here are a few things that she experienced in her duration at the college. 

  • Unnecessary Rules: Students often complain about the unnecessary discipline enforced by the college to attend all of the lectures and seminars irrespective of their choice and usefulness.
  • Faculty: In terms of faculty, there is a mix of average and good professors. But most of the good professors are moving to different colleges. 
  • Placements: In the terms of placement, the data may show it as amazing but in reality, most of the students of IEM end up in mass recruiting jobs offered by any IT company. Only a few of the students end up in good companies. 

If you are choosing IEM try to make the most of it. Other than college learning, try and take up some extra courses such as coding or hacking and security, it will help a lot. There are a handful of helpful faculties at IEM. Interacting and working with those professors will help a lot in going good places.

Learn to utilize their time and learn new things. Learn something new and read as much as possible. If you are not happy with campus placements then you should look for off-campus placements as well.

RS
Radhika Shaw Posted On : September 7th, 2021
Studies Integrated B.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering, Jawaharlal Nehru University (2024)

An institute relies upon its environment and exposure, apart from that other things definitely only depend upon you. Herein, environment interprets to the competition you have in your batch, while exposure translates to pursuing things in the institute alongside academics.

If you are living somewhere around or in Delhi, then opting for IITM Janakpuri can be a better option than others. The institute offers great exposure in terms of city life. You will get a chance to attend the biggest fests like IITD Randezvou, AIIMS Pulse, and DTU’s fests. 

However, if you get options better than this, then choosing them will not relevantly affect you. Make an informed decision whenever you can.

What are the average marks/percentages scored by BTech students at various UPTU/AKTU colleges?

DO
Deepanshi Ojha Posted On : November 9th, 2022
B.Tech from APJ Abdul Kalam University

The average percentage scored by most BTech students at AKTU/UPTU colleges is 65-70%. This can be obtained with minimal effort as marks are literally distributed here. The internal marks depend on the student's image and not his performance.

Most of the heads of Departments are just puppets controlled by management. The faculty here is usually from a C-grade engineering college. Also, the lowest form of practice here is to earn more money through evaluation. This dishonesty on the part of the faculty produces disqualified engineers. The Centre Superintendent does not care about checking the eligibility of a faculty.

So you don’t actually need to worry about average marks because marks are awarded for free at AKTU/UPTU colleges.

How is PTU Jalandhar for a B.Tech?

TK
Tanya Khurana Posted On : September 7th, 2021
B.Tech CSE from I.K. Gujral Punjab Technical University (2021)

Your first options should be IITs or NITs for B.Tech as they offer the best placement offers. As a college plays an important role in determining the exposure and your success. The colleges that are affiliated with PTU are average and have the lowest placement record as compared to IITs.

With the introduction of a new syllabus, there has been the inclusion of many exciting subjects in the B.Tech course. However, the education quality at PTU Jalandhar is below average. Students have received backlogs almost every semester. The evaluation process is not done sincerely.

If you are comfortable with dropping a year and score a good rank in JEE Main, then go for it. However, if you are only looking for a degree and already have a reference in some company, then you can join PTU.

Which one is better for a B.Tech Assam Engineering College or Tezpur University?

DR
Dinesh Rawal, Posted On : November 11th, 2021
B.Tech Civil Engineering, Tezpur University (2013)

It is better to go for B.Tech at Tezpur University (TU) than Assam Engineering College (AEC). Following are the reasons for the same:

  • TU has great faculty and infrastructure, and you will get a lot of exposure. 
  • The only drawback is the lack of placements. Being a new institution very few companies visit the college.
  • AEC on the other hand, is very old, and has a strong alumni network. 
  • Placement is better at AEC compared to TU, but still it keeps fluctuating which makes students unsure.
Categories B.Tech at AEC B.Tech at TU
Course Fee INR 44,000 1.76 lakh
Placement Percentage 80% 50%
Highest CTC 17 LPA 14 LPA
Average CTC 6 LPA 3.5 LPA
Recruiting Companies Capgemini, IBM, Wipro, Reliance, etc. SAP Labs, Amazon, Intel, Dabur, etc.

If your aim is to get a job right after your graduation, then you should join AEC. But if you are interested more in research and exposure and want to opt for higher studies, TU will be a better option.

Which college should I choose, PSIT Kanpur or IMS Ghaziabad for a B.Tech through CS?

PS
Pratiksha Singh Posted On : February 13th, 2023
Lived in New Delhi -110027 (2001–2016)

In my opinion, IMS Ghaziabad is a much better option than PSIT Kanpur mainly because of its NCR location. When choosing a college, a factor of utmost importance is where the college is situated because your location will impact your college life largely. Opting for a college situated in NCR is a boon as it will give you a lot of exposure to activities and education in general. You get more exposure to industries and startups and thus getting internships is a lot easier. One more advantage is that you can avail many good coaching facilities in the NCR location which may not be possible in a city like Kanpur. 

The campus life is less strict at IMS Ghaziabad than at PSIT and there are no strict attendance rules. The fees and value of a degree are almost similar in both colleges but you can enjoy your life much better at NCR colleges. I am strongly against you joining PSIT Kanpur because

  • Not a good location
  • Unnecessary struck rules related to attendance 
  • You have to be stuck 9-5 completing unnecessary assignments which have no real importance 
  • Not a good college to enjoy life and hang out
  • No coding culture in PSIT 

Despite it all, PSIT Kanpur has a 100% placement percentage and will help you get places in CS. Weigh your options and choose wisely.

Which is better for B.Tech. mechanical at NIT Jalandhar or mechanical at NIT Rourkela overall

AT
Archana Tiwari Posted On : December 8th, 2022
B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar ( NITJ ) (Graduated 2018)

My friend is an NIT Jalandhar pass out so I can speak about that only. She regretted getting admission into NIT Jalandhar. She faced some serious problems

  • Faculty: The professors were below average in their teaching methods. Most lacked the basic knowledge and just read out from books. Moreover, if you don’t win their favor you get fewer marks in assignments. This affects your overall CGPA.

  • Crowd: It will be hard to find a diverse crowd here as most of the students hail from Punjab itself. Even their language is common within the campus.

  • Placements: Talking specifically about Mechanical Engineering placements, the condition is pretty bad. The average package this year was INR 7.87 LPA while the highest CTC was just INR 8.4 LPA.

  • Hostels: The first and second-year hostels do not have Wi-Fi connections which is a major drawback. Hostels 3-7 are also averagely built. Mega Hostels have better facilities in comparison to other hostels at NIT Jalandhar.

These are some shortcomings of NIT Jalandhar which might affect your overall experience. You can research the same for NIT Rourkela and make a comparison. In case NIT Rourkela is even worse, then NIT Jalandhar is your last option.
