Currently, is IIEST Shibpur, formerly BESU, better than Jadhavpur University?

IIEST Shibpur offers integrated MTech for engineering streams. So, first, be clear if you want to pursue MTech from an institute that does not have a record of producing post-grads like IITs or other universities abroad. Comparison: In academics, there is not much difference between JU CS and BESU CS. In fact in the present scenario, JU CS has better placement statisticsas compared to BESU CS.For this reason, sometimes BESU CS/IT graduates join IITs after the completion of their course and often end up in the same firms their fellow JU mates are working in for 2 years. BESU got updated to the status of IIEST quite recently. It will take some time for the institute to improve its infrastructure and academics. Being an institute of national importance, the institute is attracting good facilities and campus recruits. The bottom line is if you are sure that you want to pursue integrated MTech, IIEST CS is not a bad option. Be it JU or BESU, the institute does not matter that much. If you are hard-working, you will excel.

What is the current placement and package scenario in Jadavpur University for B.Tech courses?

Jadavpur University has managed to survive the recession to give its student a handsome placement package. My friend is currently studying there and their placement happens all around the years, unlike IITs where placement happens for two weeks or so. Like most engineering colleges, CSE as usual tops the placement with their highest packages. The most popular recruiters include Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, Goldman Sachs, etc. Almost 100% of students are placed in all the branches. Here are some branch-wise placement statistics for the year 2020. Departments Average Package Highest Package CSE 20.6 LPA 58 LPA (Google) IT 15 LPA 51 LPA (Shopee Singapore) EE 9.73 LPA 65 LPA (Atlassian) Mechanical Engineering 8 LPA 17.6 LPA (GAIL) Chemical Engineering 6 LPA 16.8 LPA (AB InBev) Production 7.2 LPA 22 LPA (Goldman Sachs) Another good thing at Jadavpur University is that most of the big IT/ Analytics firms do not discriminate between the branches and allow them to sit for their placements. This way, you can grab a job in any field that you would like if you develop an interest in it in your college tenure.

How is IEM Kolkata? Which is better, CS at IEM Kolkata or civil/IT at Jadavpur?

IEM Kolkata is a reputed technical college in the region. But given a choice, you should take Civil/IT at Jadavpur University. JU ranks among the top engineering colleges in the country. It is well ahead of IEM, in terms of placement and opportunities. Many core companies visit JU to recruit Civil Engineering students. The IT placement is excellent. Companies such as Microsoft, Google, etc. take part in Jadavpur University placements. During the 2022 placement drive, Facebook offered the highest CTC of INR 1.8 Crore per annum. The second highest CTC was INR 1.4 CPA, by Google.

Which is better, NIT Trichy CSE or Jadavpur University CSE?

As per the reports of last year, NIT Trichy is deemed better than Jadavpur University. Thus, you must not leave any chance to get into NIT Trichy. As per the NIRF 2020 ranking, NIT Trichy is ranked 9th for B.Tech. NIT Trichy has a stupendous entrepreneurial culture, with a broad alumni network spread across India and overseas. The alumni network is over 30,000, including CEOs of top firms listed in Fortune India 500 and Forbes Global 2000. Jadavpur University is ranked 17th for B.Tech by NIRF 2020. Going by the recent rankings and alumni networks it is safe to say that NIT Trichy is ahead of Jadavpur. However, you should do your own research and make a decision based on that.

Can Jadavpur University ever be good enough to compete with the top IITs If not why?

Having some friends at Jadavpur University, I can list some problems that students usually face: As Jadavpur University is a regional university, it lacks the exposure what central institutes usually attract. For the same reason, the administration is a little lazy and students enjoy too much freedom. Most of the professors are quite qualified and experienced, you can find a lot of them who aren’t up to the mark. Here, it becomes quite difficult to compete with the level of IIT and NIT professors. Students at Jadavpur are not creative and do not think out of the box. They usually like to go with the flow and simply follow the syllabus for good placement. The placement scenario of the CSE department might be at a height but sometimes, other departments suffer and couldnt get as great opportunities. The UG research quality in JU is not up to the mark. Although many students indulge in research and projects, the publication quality is not at par. They just make some small change in an algorithm and produce two/three papers but are not recognized very kindly by foreign universities. All in all, JU needs improvements with the serious involvement of all the students, teachers, staff, alumni of JU. By tackling all the problem areas together, it can shine like IITs and NITs in the near future.

Is NIT Durgapur better than Jadavpur University?

Jadavpur University is better than NIT Durgapur. In spite of being an NIT, NIT D fails to offer many basic facilities. The undergraduate laboratories are not well-maintained. The campus doesn’t have an active research interface for undergraduate degrees. Jadavpur University students receive way better learning resources and guidance for higher studies. Located at the heart of Kolkata, there is better availability of coaching for competitive examinations. It offers better placements as well. More than 100 recruiting companies took part in Jadavpur University placements of 2022. The highest CTC offered this year was INR 1.8 CPA. Industry giants such as Apple, Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc. took part in the placement drive.

What are the procedure for lateral entry at Jadavpur university?

The eligibility for lateral entry at Jadavpur University is 50% in diploma. If you have the required percentage you can sit for JELET. A valid rank will be considered for admission. The number of seats for lateral entry at Jadavpur University is limited. So, in order to get selected, you will need to score higher ranks. Otherwise, you will have to go to the Govt. colleges like JGEC, or KGEC.

How is Jadavpur University in comparison to NITs and IITs?

If you aren’t getting old IITs, top NITs (Trichy, Surathkal, Warangal, Trichy), Jadavpur University is one of the best choices available. The faculties are highly qualified and experienced. It has a great research culture. Jadavpur offers excellent academic culture, and peer group. The institute also has an impressive placement record. Jadavpur University placements in 2021 concluded with an average CTC of INR 10.2 LPA. The highest CTC was INR 58 LPA. Major industry giants such as Google, Amazon, and Facebook visit the campus drive of the university.

Which is better CSE at Jadavpur University or CSE at IIT ISM Dhanbad?

I have a few friends who have completed their B.tech from IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and Jadavpur University. Here are some crucial factors you must take into account to understand the difference. Legacy: IIT(ISM), Dhanbad is an IIT which is a central level engineering institute and also one of the oldest colleges in the country. On the other hand, JU still remains a state-level university. Infrastructure: If you have visited both campuses, you can clearly see that the infrastructure at JU is crumbling as compared to that of IIT(ISM). JU has a campus the size of IIT(ISM), Dhanbads lower ground. Rankings: Although most rankings are biased and paid, JU is always ranked below IIT(ISM) Dhanbad except in the NIRF Rankings. Placement packages: The tougher JEE Advanced criteria ensures the quality of students IIT (ISM) Dhanbad. All branches perform quite well. For example - The highest salary offered in CSE in the year 2017 was 1.05 crore By no means a state-level university can outstand a national-level Institute. IIT (ISM) Dhanbad has an edge over JU in almost all aspects. If you score well enough for IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, there’s no point in thinking about Jadavpur University.
