Answered Questions

J.C. Bose University Of Science And Technology, YMCA: 10 answered questions

Which is better, YMCA Faridabad or DCRUST Murthal?

Aakash Chakraborty,

21 Oct 21

Having known some people studying in both these colleges, I can share some information about them. This might help you make a decision.

Student Crowd:

During the 90s, YMCA was very popular and a lot of good students used to get admitted here.
Nowadays DCRUST enjoys a better student crowd, as many students from NCR are also getting admission here.

College Life:

DCRUST takes the lead here. If you prefer extracurricular activities, it is the right place for you.
They have activity clubs, literary events, social welfare clubs, and also a drama club called Sparsh.
These activities will help you groom your personality.

Hostels:

DCRUST is known to have better hostel facilities than YMCA.
Also, it is famous for Murthal Dhabas.

Placements:

YMCA tops this, as they have better placement opportunities than DCRUST.
A lot of notable companies participate in their placement program.

Categories	YMCA Faridabad	DCRUST Murthal
Placement Percentage	80%	70-80%
Highest CTC	28 LPA	8.21 LPA
Average CTC	12 LPA	4-5 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Accenture, Wipro, Cognizant, TCS, etc.	Tech Mahindra, Bosch, Fidelity, Jindal Iron and Steel, etc.

Both the colleges are more or less good to pursue your studies. Though it is suggested that if placements are your primary concern, go for YMCA. DCRUST will help you more with research-based knowledge.

Which college is better for a B.Tech in CS or IT, YMCAUST, Faridabad and Deen Bandu Chotu Ram (DCRUST) Murthal?

Anjali Verma

20 Sept 22

For a B.Tech in CS or IT, YMCAUST, Faridabad is better. It has a better CSE faculty. The placement and exposure offered are also better than DCRUST, Murthal. Better CS/IT companies visit YMCA, Faridabad placements. According to the recent placement highlights, the highest CTC offered is around INR 29 LPA.

Which is better, YMCA Faridabad or UIET Chandigarh?

Nimisha Roy

01 Oct 22

YMCA Faridabad is better than UIET Chandigarh. It has an impressive placement record. It is also widely recognized in the industry. The coding culture of the institute is pretty active. Recent YMCA Faridabad placements concluded with the highest CTC of INR 29.92 LPA. Top recruiters’ list included names such as Samsung, HCL, Flipkart, etc.

Which is better for IT for someone living in Faridabad, YMCA, Faridabad or IIEST, Shibpur?

Tanya Mangala

15 Jul 21

IIEST Shibpur will be a better choice than YMCA because it is an old institution. The college provides better placement opportunities than YMCA. IIEST has got 20th rank among top institutions. It has been ranked 7th among the top research institutions.

If you are living in Faridabad and do not want to relocate then it will be a problem. Otherwise, you should choose IIEST Shibpur as it has got a better infrastructure, faculty members, and a learning curriculum.

There is no such branch as IT in YMCA. You will have to select the CS branch in YMCA and for that, you will have to score a rank of 200 in AIEE which will be difficult for you. And if you can score the rank then you can easily crack IIT and move to other good colleges.

Is YMCA UST better than PEC Chandigarh?

Vaibhav Goyal

19 Sept 22

No, PEC Chandigarh is way ahead of YMCA UST. PEC has a higher cutoff, hence a better student crowd. It also has a smaller batch size, so every student gets the required attention. PEC Chandigarh placements are better. The average and highest CTC for the institute are INR 10.83 LPA and INR 42 LPA, respectively.

Situated in Chandigarh, PEC also has a locational advantage. You will receive better exposure.

Which is better for CSE, YMCA Faridabad or NIT Manipur?

Jahanvee Singh Kunwar

20 Jul 21

YMCA Faridabad will be an excellent choice to pursue CSE. The institute offers great placement opportunities. Some of the best companies visit the campus like Infoedge, Samsung, Infosys, IOCL, Amazon, TCS, Cadence Design Systems, and more.

NIT Manipur has top placements in the CSE branch, followed by ECE. It will give you the NIT Tag and exposure. You can get a chance to sit in pool placements.

The fee and placement details are as follows:

Criteria	YMCA Faridabad	NIT Manipur
Fee	INR 2.96 Lakhs	INR 5.51 Lakhs
Average Package	INR 6 LPA	INR 8.21 LPA
Highest Package	INR 28.75 LPA	INR 42.5 LPA

The return on investment (ROI) of both the colleges is well with great packages. The drawback of NIT Manipur is the distance and language barrier. Overall, considering all the above points, you can make a choice.
