Shiksha All Time Q&A

Companies like Hero, Tata, Mercedes, Toyota come for recruiting students of Automobile engineering.
50% of the students opting for automobile engineering go for further studies. Some students with higher gpa and other good records get placed in core companies. Many get placed in IT companies. Even many of the bright students get placed in IT. There could many reasons :
There are many many companies recruiting from MIT Manipal but the problem is what to choose, core company or IT company?
First of all take this very seriously, the life of an engineer at a production company is tough. I do not mean to scare you, but it is true, unfortunately. Its not like at the IT companies where you can get a lot of time and also a good city. However you will become a tough person gradually. So to answer the question that some of you guys have asked Which to prefer: IT company or core company?
If you want to join a core company for the money, youll be surprised! An IT company will give you a similar payout after 3-4 years and would also give you lot of options to witch companies and also other benefits. I suggest you join a core company if and only if you actually like Mechanical or automobile engineering! Else, you'll end up frustrated. Another reason you will join the core company is because you may not like sitting continuously for 8 hours.
The Core experience helps a lot for MS admissions to a good university abroad and getting a research project / research assistant position under a professor and getting a job after MS. They love it if you have any industry experience. The underline however is that the project should be related to your specialization during your Masters.
These points are all my personal experience, there may be some different experience with other people. Whichever you prefer, have a read about this article and plan, because this one decision will make your future live life, enjoy Manipal, party hard Sayonara

VIT University is among the most reputed colleges in South India and has a reputation for providing students with the best undergraduate programs for B.Tech degree.
The training and placement cell of VIT University is highly responsible and attracts a number of companies including the core and IT firms for the placement drives that happens round the year at the university.
For production and industrial engineering branch in VIT University, the average placement package recorded for the year 2017 was around Rs 4 to Rs 5 lakhs where around 50% of the students of the batch got placed in corporate IT companies or marketing firms like the mass recruiters TCS, Wipro, Infosys. Also the highest placement package observed for the year 2017 is around Rs 19 lakhs but the intake of students for such packages is really low being around one or two students per.
Hence I would recommend you to go for some other branch at the University if placements are only what you're looking for or if you are really passionate about the branch you can go for it anytime.
Cheers.

It was established in 1969 and is one of the oldest engineering branches in Manipal and has its reputation.
I can say that faculty is not 100% best, not more than 4 to 5 professors are good with their subjects. Professors are really good and are ready to help you. The course structure is pretty good and equivalent to BITS (HOD used to be from BITS).
Excellent chemical engineering laboratories - Mass Transfer, Heat Transfer and a State of the art Process Control lab. The computer lab equipped with all the engineering software - CAD, Aspen, Matlab.
Practice School Policy. Students can do their final year projects outside the institution like - CSIR labs, Honeywell etc.,
Coming to the important section placements if your goal is to get a job in service/IT industry then it's not a big deal. MIT doesn't have any sustainable relations with process industries so it's a challenge to find core chemical industries on the placement list. To my knowledge, these are the companies I've seen during my 4 years at Manipal:- Jindal Steels, Grasim textiles, Reliance, Mangalore refinery recruited students having 8 and above CGPA.

It's not very difficult for the one, who prepared thoroughly even for the mains or boards. Three months are enough to get your preparations set for WBJEE and to get remarkable results.
All you need to follow is the simple guidelines mentioned below to get the desirable branch in the desired college.
1. Stop believing in rumors, and if someone says that you cannot do it, or the time is less . Just believe in yourself and your ambition
2. Before giving a start to your preparation, have a look through the WBJEE brochure, paper pattern, rules, guidelines and most importantly the syllabus.
3. List out all the topics which are not the part of the syllabus and the topics which are extra included other than the JEE syllabus.
4. Firstly start revising the whole theory keeping reference of West Bengal state board books.
5 . Start studying as hard as you can for around 6 to 7 hours a day and daily give time to each and every subject.
6. Solve the previous papers for mains and WBJEE on priority and then prefer mains books for the preparation as there are no books related to WBJEE, in the market.
At last, be focused throughout and try to increase your speed and confidence.
Thank you and all the best.

Agriculture, as well as chemicals both, constitute an essential part of one's life.
One fulfills the necessary food and grains necessary for living whereas the other constituting the products regarding daily care as well in medical purposes.
So both the branches find scope in the current and future world. One cannot distinguish both on the basis of the earnings as it may vary from person to person as well as locality.
Although it depends on person to person that which stream he/she wants to choose and want to pursue his or her career in.
One thing common in both the fields is that they provide a large scope in research.
When coming to campus drives and placements, the chemical aspirants have more packages offered than agriculture students and also have more chances of abroad placements.
So, practically one should go for the chemical branch for a better lifestyle in future. Also, it is difficult for one to get into chemical than agriculture.
At last, whatever branch you chose from the both, pursue it from a well-renowed government or automous institution or top private institution otherwise it may be a struggle for you after 4 years.
Thank you. Hope it helped.

A degree doesn't matter if anyone is talented and the best idea about this is that he or she can do anything which they want to. In B.Tech, they learn about this but many learners learn just by seeing others or via Google. The special thing about web development is that pretty much all the learning materials you ever need is available online that too for free, there's nothing you can't learn on your own without going through 4-years of college and getting a CS degree. But getting a CS degree won't hurt, especially when you're not sure what to do or lack the skill set to land a programmer job. When it comes to getting a job as a web developer, the absolute most important thing is your portfolio, e.g. the open source projects you contributed to, your GitHub account, well-designed personal projects you built etc. Many start-up founders here don't have a degree, Countless opportunities are open to software developers with all sorts of background, with or without a degree. When it comes to hiring, CS degree is nice, but it tends to have very low signal on a candidate's ability, lots of people with CS degree yet they're still a mediocre programmer.

The placements from NIT Jamshedpur are well and quality oriented.
Though the placements from B.Tech are good, still the specialisation in the degree adds up to the chances of a quality placement.
The placement statistics from NIT Jamshedpur is around 8 Lacs per annum lowest being 3 lakhs and highest up to 15 lakhs in the computer science branch.
The data is extracted from the recent placement scenario.
One need around 240 marks in JEE Mains to get into NIT-Jamshedpur for computer science B.Tech (Hons.).
NIT Jamshedpur is though not that much vibrant when talked about its campus, but has a nice academic curriculum and appreciable support from staff and management regarding any difficulties. Being a government funded institution, the faculty members are well experienced and qualified which one need not to worry about.
Also, NIT stands at about 11th position among all so one can go for distance education but from the extreme points of India, as it will not worth sacrificing a lot for NIT Jamshedpur. Rather try to get any state government college which is feasible according to your location and comfort.

The MIT Academy of Engineering (MIT AOE) at the Maharashtra Academy of Engineering and Education Research (MAEER) in Pune is affiliated to the University of Pune.
Being an autonomous institute, it gains all the major fundings and facilities provided by the government, for academics and placement prospectives.
When placement statistics are talked about:
Highest package offered:- Directi at a salary package of Rs 14.47 Lacs per annum
Average Salary is Rs. 6 Lacs per annum.
Companies visited were Cognizant, Cybage, TCS, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Zensar Technologies, Directi, HCL, Amazon, Wipro, etc.
One can get into it by the means of JEE Mains as well as through MHCET.
Talking of the infrastructure, the campus has modern as well as beautiful infrastructure well managed by the administration in the heart of Pune, so one can get a diverse culture of the modern and corporate world.
Most of the job offered in the institute are from the Pune, Mumbai , Ahmedabad and Bangalore headquarters in India, but few global placements are witnessed in the recent placement session.
Thank you, hope it helped.

I think, a little bit if one has decided to take admission in a particular private college and has deposited the fee to the college then the declaration of the result if he/she fails then the college wait for their compartment exam but a government college doesn't care about this. If you fail to report in the counseling with their eligibility, then they never wait for you.
But if someone has not decided a college before the declaration and fails in the exam then government colleges will never give you chance and a number of good private colleges also will not give you a chance or wait for your compartment exam. So, in this case, one has to take admission in an average college. It is strongly recommended that try to pass your 12th board exams as many government colleges need only 45% marks in class 12th and private college needs only 50% or 60% marks. So, it is obviously easy to score in any board. Atleast, try to pass all the exams of your prescribed subject so that you can easily get a good college for an engineering career.
All the best!
