Ques

Should I get a Bachelor's of Technology in computer science from MSIT GGSIPU or SRM Chennai? Why?

● Top Answer By Keshav Kishore on 04 Nov 22

Ans

Choose MSIT if you want to prioritize degree value over cost. Otherwise, go with SRM. MSIT CSE placements are excellent, but if you live in a politically neutral environment with large campuses, consider SRM, Chennai. Technical societies, such as IEEE, are very active, and if you are fortunate enough to be a part of them, it is better for you in terms of placement and 'knowledge building. If you are serious about expanding your knowledge, there are a few amazing teachers as well as seniors who can assist and guide you. It is entirely up to you to make the most of the available opportunities.

Ques

Which is better, IP University's average college or Sharda University?

● Top Answer By Shagun Verma on 14 Jun 21

Ans

Having friends who study in both colleges, I can assure you that, there is no comparison of Sharda University with any IPU colleges unless it is low rated. If you are taking your studies seriously you should consider entering colleges affiliated with IP University. But Sharda University offers amazing placement and internship opportunities as they have good tie-ups with few top companies. You can do good even at Sharda University if you are good at self-study and can get motivated on your own. The positive side of Sharda University is that it has a great crowd. There are alumni at Sharda University who are unemployed. Even a number of graduate students from IPU are still searching for jobs. There are students at both of these universities who have reached heights in technological fields. If you want a strong core teaching and complete study environment, go for IPU. If you are happy with your studies and want to have a bit of a relaxed college life Sharda University is your spot.

Ques

Which is better: Thapar University or IPU?

● Top Answer By Ananya Das on 09 Aug 21

Ans

One of my friends had recently joined Thapar University and here are some of the facts about it that make it stand out among others. One of the best streams to pursue at Thapar University is CSE. The placements at Thapar are really good and most of the CSE students get placed. Some teachers are not very good with their teaching methods. One of the best professors at Thapar is Mannek sir, he is a mechanics teacher. One of the best things you will encounter while studying at Thapar University is the senior mentors. They are like siblings and help you with everything. The infrastructure is not very well developed yet, there are few buildings with air conditioning but unfortunately not all buildings. There is various student societies present which you can also join. Categories Thapar University Course Fee 13.23 lakhs Highest CTC 16 LPA Average CTC 8 LPA Recruiting Companies Google, JP Morgan, Amazon, Capgemini, etc. If you are getting your desired branch then only you should join this institute as you also have to pay a hefty amount of fees.

Ques

How good is an MBA from IP university New Delhi?

● Top Answer By Harsh Verma on 07 Jan 22

Ans

According to the reviews online, the majority of the students said it is not a good option to pursue MBA from IP University, Delhi. Here are some reasons why: More focus is given on theoretical preparation than the practicals. Students often complain about the incomplete training. If you wish to learn about your course, it will not provide you with the satisfaction. Because mostly students tend to mug up last year’s questions and answer books. Scoring is easy even if you study only 2-4 days before the exam. The same 10-15 questions are repeated every year. If you want to build yourself, you mostly have to do it all on your own, because the college won't make much effort. Placements here are average. Only the top 10 students are usually given access to sit for the placements. Therefore a lot of students do not get the proper opportunities to get a job. If you are willing to work on your own and are confident enough, then only opt for IP University, Delhi.

Ques

Is YMCA or Kurukshetra University better than IPU?

● Top Answer By Sheetal Thakur on 22 Oct 21

Ans

One of my friends studied at YMCA while my sister studied at IPU. I can share their experiences and let's see who won: YMCA receives a lot of good companies each year. IPU receives IT firms most often with a package of INR 3.25 LPA. The only highlight of IPU is Microsoft. As a CS or IT, you will find it to your liking. In YMCA Amazon, Maruti, Adobe, Snapdeal, Yamaha, and many more reputed companies come to hire B.Tech graduates. Placement is what matters to most, however, it's not the only parameter of comparison but because YMCA tops in placements which is an essential factor nevertheless, it wins!
