How is Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology in terms of academics and facilities?

Pradipta Sinha

31 Aug 22

In terms of academics and facilities, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology isn’t good. The syllabus and the curriculum are outdated. The examination and evaluation system is flawed. Mugging up the syllabus right before the examination is sufficient to score 8-pointers. Placements usually depend on the college. Usually, IT companies visit the campus placements of the university.

What are the best things for MAKAUT students to do on weekends?

Sayani Gupta

31 Aug 22

MAKAUT offers excellent learning resources to students. You can utilize the weekends to upskill yourself. If you are a software engineering student, you can learn various coding languages such as C, C++, Java, etc. Having knowledge of different coding languages can help you a lot during placements. If you are a student of Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or Electrical Engineering, you can learn Auto CAD. MAKAUT also offers the opportunity to learn other software such as MEP, CATIA, etc.

You can use the weekends to do internships or training as well. These will certainly add value to your resume. You can prepare for jobs by working on your communication skills, soft skills, personality management, etc. Many students also use the weekends to catch up with their hobbies.

Which one is better for CS, Makaut or Aliah University?

Mohona Roy

30 Nov 21

The Colleges under Makaut are much better than Aliah University in all respects. They have a better curriculum, experienced faculty and provide students with the proper exposure and opportunities required to build their career.

If you have a rank around 10,000 in WBJEE, then you can opt for colleges like Techno India, IEM, Heritage Institute of Technology, Meghnad Shah, Netaji, etc.

But if your rank is enough to qualify for these colleges, then you can go for Aliah University. The placements here are not up to the mark but if you work hard you can sit for off-campus placements and secure a job via that.

Which is better, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University or Haldia Institute of Technology?

Manoj Sharma

17 Jul 21

Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University and Haldia Institute of Technology both are engineering institutes. Some of my friends have been students of both of the institutes thus, I can provide a clear picture about which one’s better.

If academics are concerned, the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University is much better than Haldia Institute Technology.
If you are interested in research and development, the Haldia Institute of Technology is preferable.
There is a report of the third-year students from Haldia, they researched on a material which can help you to store the food for a good amount of time. Well, the students did it almost around practicing for 1100 times.
But, many students also vote for Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University when it comes to the research field.

Thus the choice ultimately depends on you. Choose which will suit you better, has easier transportation, better infrastructure, and facilities, and will help shape your career as both are equally good.

Which is better, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology inhouse CSE or NIT Agartala ECE?

Tathagata Mukherjee
