Shiksha All Time Q&A

Civil engineering is one of the old branch so if someone is unable to choose good college then it is difficult to get placed. Christ University and ACED Bangalore are the best college but I think Christ University is the best option for civil engineering. Christ University Bangalore, formerly known as Christ College (Autonomous), is an academic fraternity of individuals Established in 1969. Christ University is famed for having a record of success in the field of education.
The infrastructure and campus is one of the best in the country. In the busy and traffic obsessed city, the campus is very calm.
Teachers are mediocre, at best: Most of the teachers are either too loud or too soft, most of them read and dictate directly from the books. 80% of the teachers are from good college of India and they are friendly with the student which is really important for student.
Fabulous placement records for professional courses in the commerce department. However, more than 90% of students opt out of placements as they either go for higher studies.

Biotechnology is an interdisciplinary branch of science which is favorite among youngsters as it is providing ample opportunities for those who want to explore the new and advanced frontiers of science. It does not refer to a specific industry or job. The applications of Biotechnology is broad as it feeds to various industrial sectors like food, textiles, pharmaceutical, agriculture, animal husbandry and more.
Biotechnology includes several subjects apart from biology making it interdisciplinary. Along with the scientific part and engineering applications, biotechnology is giving rise to various new fields with humongous job opportunities. Being honest, let me tell you, the placements from biotechnology are not that good when compared to other branches. Biotechnology is the future, it is still developing whereas other branches are centuries old and well established. But if you are up for it, go for it.
And IIT Roorkee is one of the best IITs. There is no scope of mediocrity here, the institute invites the best players from the industrial world to get their students placed. Around 76% students get placed from the batch. The average package is about 6 lac per annum. But don't worry, it increases o0nce you in the room. If you are looking for more money, then go for non-core jobs.

Heritage Institute of Technology situated in Kolkata is a private institute taking the students for engineering stream.
Though the college is not so much remarkable and up to the mark when it comes to infrastructure but is improving itself and hence can be considered as okay.
Now, coming to the placement stats, the average placement from here is around 3 to 4 lakh and highest package offered is from Microsoft which is around 16 lakhs.
Although, the above placement data is from CSE, ECE, IT, etc.
Also, frankly speaking, the college do not have a good placement record other than these three branch though, many IT based companies visit for mass recruitment such as TCS, Infosys as well as Wipro.
Also, the faculty members are good, but not up to the level to meet the requirements of industry as well as modern world.
So, in all, the college is good for the core branches only, and should not, be preferred for distance education. Although, students from West Bengal can have it as their last option but for the three mentioned branches.
Thank you. Hope it helped.

'Internship' from the perspective of engineering colleges in India primarily is aimed at giving an industry exposure, and involves people taking up trainee positions in companies which deal with the sub-branch of their choice. However, people interested in research usually engage in research projects at IIT's/IISc or universities in the US/Canada/Europe/Australia. By doing this you will know yourself more clearly, where you stand w.r.t the industrial needs and what changes you need in yourself. You will learn to work under mentors/seniors/managers. It will develop your tolerance power, patience, group work abilities, etc. It will be a whole new experience.
Pursuing training course now will not only enhance your knowledge but will also point out the areas where you need to improve followed by giving you experience of real world implementation of the theoretical concepts. It will also help you to get internship opportunity in the future since the companies prefer candidates who have done something extra apart from the mainstream study.

Hope this helps.

Acharya Institute of Technology (AIT) is a better choice than MVJ College of Engineering in case of both educational quality and placements.
But instead of opting for Aeronautical Engineering, I would suggest you go for CSE from AIT Bangalore.
AIT is ranked 63rd in Indian Engineering college Ranking of "Outlook India". On the other hand, MVJCE stands nowhere in top 100.
AIT Bangalore has huge campus of 120 acres whereas MVJCE has a campus of just 15 acres.
AIT maintains a teacher-student ratio of 1:10. The Institute receives a "Modernisation and Removal of Obsolescence" grant from the AICTE for research activities and upgraded state-of-the-art laboratory facilities. It is one of the seven colleges in Karnataka to be funded by the World Bank and receives endowments from the VTU to carry out research in both its undergraduate and postgraduate departments.
Coming on to why to choose CSE over Aeronautical Engineering, Aviation sector is still on a slow growth in India whereas IT sector is on its top gear of growth. There is a huge demand of CSE Engineers than Aero Engineers in India. Moreover Mostly IT companies comes for placements in the college.
Hope this would help you to make a better choice.

It does not matters lot as many college built their campus in remote area because they can't get such a big size of land is not available in city. This does not matters a lot as BITS Pilani is one of the best college of India and this college is located in Pilani which is an small village of Rajasthan but for joining BITS student never think about remote or urban city. In fact, establishing a college in remote size has lot of benefit such as there is less disturbances, less crowd, nice environment which is not available in urban city.
There is no better location for communing with nature than a rural college campus. From flowery meadows to forest canopies, these areas give you access to all kinds of greenery. They provide a place to explore during your off time and fresh air even when you're busy.
By Establishing college in remote area Campus size is big but if college is in Urban Area then it has lot of branch which make inconvenience for study and campus not look so beautiful.
On a small-town campus, your inclusive community is waiting for you. Because there are fewer opportunities off campus, schools must make their campuses more appealing by adopting rituals and focusing on what they can do to make living in the dorms more attractive.
For those in a city, one of the major concerns is how to pay bills such as groceries, rent, and entertainment. Rural college campuses have all the pluses without the drama. You get the high-quality professors, excited and engaged students, and the opportunities to study abroad or perform an internship just as you would anywhere else.
