IIIT Bhubaneswar All Questions

Hi ! No you can't get any nit or IIIT with this rank in JEE main. Your rank in ews rank category is not enough to get a good nit or IIIT. But still you can check your possible colleges that you can get through your rank in link given below. So hope you understand and best of luck to you.

Okay, well... On the face of it, as you have described, IIIT Gwalior does look good. When I joined this college, even I was lured by the A/C Classrooms (I had heard Gwalior weather isn't very pleasant, more on this later) and single-occupancy hostels (rumors are the rooms are being merged into double occupancy ones after repeated suicide incidents, unconfirmed news).

All PHD faculty? I didn't even look at that because it hardly matters. Studies are up to you only, no one can do anything about it. Haven't the JEE preparations proved this to you?Syllabus? Even we have no idea of the current syllabus but you can view the last available copy here - Courses of Study_iiitm.pdf (Courtesy: Sachin Acharya)

Labs? Who said there are 18? I was the unofficial paparazzi of this college for about two years and I know there are 30+ laboratories here. But, as a fact, you won't be using more than 3 in your whole 5 years here.

1. The city matters a lot.

For a couple of months, I loved the place. It was different. Thereafter, I started hating it. December-February cold is horrible. Equally horrible is the summer. I had never imagined living in surroundings that were at a temperature higher than my body temperature.

Its not just the climate that kills, its the lack of basic amenities as well. Just to buy a pen you will have to take an auto to travel 5 km away from the institute.

The people matter too. After all, it will shape an important part of your life.

2. Placements and Faculty statistics are a myth.

Okay, placement data on the IIITM website is not falsified or deceptive. But then, its totally up to you. Although the average placement is 8 LPA, I am sitting here answering your question not even expecting to be placed while some of my batch guys are already placed and stuff (final year not even officially started!).

Faculty - NO COMMENTS. Some are good, some are not so good, some love being praised, some don't. Usual Indian govt. office drama.

Each student is different so throw the statistics out of the window and look at yourself - if you want, you can achieve anything.

Enough said. NIT Durgapur wouldn't be any better by the way. Also, people around would speak less of Hindi and half of the people would be from WB. So, think about it.

Edit: I forgot it’s your home state. Well, then it might be good. You know Durgapur better so take your decision.

When I look back, I could've easily secured admission at Sardar Patel Institute of Technology, Mumbai (best private engineering college in Mumbai, ranked well above all your mentioned choices, placements are similar) based on my AIEEE score and lived a peaceful/lavish life at home.

I got deceived by words like "Indian Institute", "Central Govt", "A/C Classrooms" and worst of all - "Dual Degree - B.Tech + M.Tech"

Even then, let me not be biased. People are getting good jobs here. I cannot deny that. Faculty doesn't matter at all and so don't dare to repeat that line and stop looking at faculties from other colleges - all are equally retarded on an average.

Infrastructure of the institute is great but hostels are not air-conditioned. If you can get your own AC, it'd be amazing.

IIITMG was established in 1997, 8 years before IIITDMJ came into existence so it is a decade older, so you can understand that it has better infrastructure, reputation, placements, etc. I agree on all points but...there is a flip side to the coin let's see that...

Let's talk about placements, IIITMG have way better placement record than IIITDMJ no doubts but we all are comparing placements of undergraduates with those of graduates i.e. person holding only 1 degree of B.Tech. (IIITDMJ) vs people holding dual degrees, B.Tech + M.Tech/M.B.A. (IIITMG) and MBA is a hotshot, as of now in our country. If there were 4-year programmes in IIITMG then it would have been fair to compare both the institutes in terms of placement.

Now, let me tell you why you should think twice before enrolling in a dual degree course…

First Case: You want a job as soon as you are out of college and don't have any intention of going for further studies.

If you are enrolled in a dual degree programme, then this freedom is taken away from you not only you will start earning after 1 more year as compared to your friends but also you will need to complete the second degree before you can start a job. If you are able to get a whooping package after that 1 additional year then it is worth investing, otherwise it’s just waste of time.

Second Case: You want to go for further studies.

In this case being in a dual degree programme may seem like a blessing as you are saving 1 year, but in the hindsight, you are limiting your future scope as you have to complete the Master's degree from the same college. You are sacrificing a chance to move to a better institution (IIT maybe) and also you are sacrificing your chance for M.S. from a foreign university. Still, want to save that 1 year? Now, you got a better starting package then your friend with only B.Tech. degree but he did his M.Tech. from IIT-B…who won?

Third Case: You want to pursue M.B.A. right after graduation.

Congrats! You are saving your 1 year and the pain of preparing for CAT. But (yeah you understood) you are giving up your chance of a shot at IIM or at GMAT(MBA from abroad). Similar case as above.

It was my job to tell you about the consequences of dual degree which sadly no one else mentioned here but still, it is your choice to make. IIITMG is a great institute no doubt even better than IIITDMJ and if you join it you may get a better placement but that 1 year makes the difference. Just introspect, discuss with your parents, tell them pros and cons and together take a calm decision and then stick with it firmly.

Hope this helps. All the very best for your future!

Hello rodda

With your mentioned rank it is highly unlikely for you to get into NITs or IIITs. You could still apply for the josaa counselling process and try your luck. But I would suggest you to try for state level engineering colleges which accept JEE main scores. You could get good colleges and your desired branch. You could use the following link to know which colleges you might get based on your scores.

Hello,

Let's just be clear on one thing. It may be harsh for you but I would advise you to not hope for IIIT Hyderabad with your CRL rank way out of its cutoff trends. CSE is the most in-demand branch for engineering in India. While you haven't mentioned if you are eligible for female only quota or not. I am gonna answer it keeping in view only gender-neutral seats.

Your chances for IIIT CSE is not very bright. While established IIITs like Bengaluru, Allahabad, Hyderabad, and Delhi are certainy not achievable. You have slightest of chances in IIITs which were established in 2013 and 2016. You would certainly like to check cutoffs of the previous year for IIITs like Nagpur, Lucknow, Una, Kottayam, Kalyani, Sri City, and Agartala(the list is non-exhaustive). The chances of getting CSE is very less through JoSAA due to its high demand among aspirants.

PS: You can definitely get one of those IIITs in the special round though. (Just check the cutoff on the internet). The closing rank goes till 70k to 80k in these new IIITs in CSAB round. But leave your other options open too.

Thanks.

Hey, thats not a very bad rank

Yes you can still get into national institutes of technology but they wont be the 1st. You can aim for the 3rd tier NITs which are not so bad either. But if you have given any other entrance exam, keep your options open. You can also try for 2nd tier NITs but they are also 50-50 chances.

You can try the following north east nits for sure shots

Nit sikkim

Nit mizoram

Nit arunachal pradesh 

Etc
