Shiksha All Time Q&A

Hi,
You can apply and intern as many times as you want but the placement office and professors help you in finding an internship during 3rd year which is a mandatory one. Microsoft and Google have Student Partner and Student Embassador programs.
These are the companies that are on campus for CS:
Amazon, ADP, CA, Commvault, Capital IQ, Cisco, Dell, D.E. Shaw, Deloitte, GE, Honeywell, Oracle, Microsoft, Google, Syntel etc. Amazon, Google and D.E. Shaw hire 1 or 2 people. The other companies hire about 56. Almost everyone from my class ended up with multiple job offers. Average pay for Google, MS etc was in the range 10- 12 lpa. It was around 67 for the rest.
I still feel OU has a lot to catch up to reach NIT and IIT standards. Better faculty, students who are passionate to learn, diversity will make the college much better. This was all back in 2012. I'm not aware of the current scenario.
All the best.

Hi,
The placements of VNIT CSE are the best, as compared to the other departments/branches. Many top companies, like Morgan Stanley, Amazon, etc. visit here every year. The packages are not that high, as compared to CSE of IITs or CSE of top NITs, but still better than that of some other NITs, and the private colleges. Youll definitely get a job, with a decent package, at a reputed company. Moreover, the NIT tag, as well as the reputed company tag, would further enhance your growth in the future.
Unfortunately, the scope of getting international packages is negligible or almost null. No international offer has been made this year or for the past 3 years. But many students go abroad to pursue a Master's degree. Also, most of the students would find it easy to get an international job in near future, due to the reputation of the college (More than half of the students graduated in the 1990s are currently settled abroad).
All the best.

R.V College of Engineering is one of the good institution providing good placements and proper training to all students and connecting students with right companies. In Department of Biotechnology, college is inviting the right companies for placements such as Genotypic Technology, Pragati Biocare, Gangagen Biotechnologies Pvt Ltd etc. So the companies used to recruit 50% of students which is a good number in Bangalore as compared to other colleges. Overall the placement of BE in Biotechnology from R.V. College of Engineering is good. I will advise others to join BE in Biotechnology at R.V college as they have a good reputation in the market.
Overall the R.V college is providing good placements for all the students in the reputed companies/MNC.

CSE have better placements. ECE don't have many placements. that's why ECE students also get placed in IT companies out of interest.
This is the sector in which we leave many good colleges behind. The placements in our college have been good even during the worst of market times. Coming to average package and the highest one, the average package is around 3.5 Lacs and the highest package last year offered was 27 Lacs by Amazon. We have many companies visiting our campus from Wipro, Infosys, TCS, Deloitte, etc. The placements are better in CSE as compared to ECE.
Placement and job opportunity are excellent around 85 companies come during campus placements and they will help students in very efficient and effective manner. There is a proper separate placement for Noida branch and Solan and Guna branch. Mass recruiter companies will also hire plenty of students for the full-time employment.
Overall decent placements observed for ECE branch and core companies have been visiting regularly but the intake is average overall.

First of all, let me make it clear to my fellow students that VIT, Pune is indeed Vishwakarma Institute of Technology and not Vellore Institute of Technology. Now coming to the question, both of these colleges are pretty good in terms of the quality of education they provide. Pune Institute of Computer Technology (PICT) was specially founded for imparting education in computer science and IT. It provides only three courses in B.Tech which are computer engineering, electronics and telecommunication and information technology while VIT provides degrees in almost all conventional branches. Talking about academics, PICT has an edge when it comes to CSE and IT. I have some friends pursuing IT there who confirmed upon this. The quality of education is pretty good. VIT also is a well-reputed college and has a high demand for CSE and IT. Apart from that, VIT is known for its extra curricular activities and campus life as such. I would suggest going through the syllabus of both the colleges and taking into consideration factors like location, campus, and future goals before making a decision. Best of luck!

Hi,
Currently, a majority of students studying in top IIMs are from engineering (generally from top colleges.)
This is because of following reasons-
1. These students have a record of academic excellence coming from prestigious institutions from India.
2. Generally, engineering students have high analytical and reasoning skills because of the rigorous curriculum they study.
But as many students from engineering background apply for IIMs there is no such advantage to an individual.
Moreover, as the number of engineering students is more in IIMs, IIMs are giving diversity points to students from a non-engineering background making it a bit easier from them.
Anyhow what matters is:
1. Your academic record.
2. Your work experience or volunteer/internship experiences.
3. Your interest towards the field you want to pursue.
4. Your leadership skills and creativity.
Brand names like IITs, NITs, BITS surely add some weightage to your resume but you can't only rely on that. You should be an interesting person good in many things including academics.

CSE placements in CV Raman College of Engineering are quite good. Let me tell the reasons for. First and foremost reason is we are given training in c+ and core java, etc.This process starts from the first year and with that a specialised training in BEC or Business English Communication is given by British Council. Don't worry these all are certification courses so by this we hold an upper hand on IT companies. The package in CS varies from 16 Lacs per annum to 3.5 Lacs per annum in 2017 highest package is offered by sap lab that is 9 Lacs per annum and the placement is still going on. The most prominent recruiters are Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, HCl, Zycus, Tech Mahindra, etc. and placement is 95% and adding to all above certification courses pre-placement training is given from the 3rd year itself.

Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology is a college which is directly affiliated to Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology (VTU) and because of this, there are several restrictions as far as the syllabus and the attendance cut-offs are concerned. Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering, on the other hand, is an autonomous college. Meaning that, it decides it's own syllabus, has lesser restrictions with respect to attendance and it gives you time to build your profile beyond what your syllabus teaches you. The college culture in DSCE is way better than in Sir MVIT. Having it's own course outline, you are taught subjects keeping today's industrial requirements in mind, which guarantees you better job offers. Sir MVIT may boast of lofty placement records, but it is one of the last colleges companies approach, after they are done recruiting students from better colleges on Bangalore. Also, the job offers here are mediocre and well known companies do not come to the college for campus placements anymore.
Do let us know if there's anything else we can help you with. All the best.

I would go for VIT any day just because the college has a better reputation ranking 6th on the list of the best private, while SRM ranks 11th on the same list.
Life at VIT is a little more hectic and restricting than life at SRM, this is because of the fact that you will have to solve daily assignments and your classes runs from 8:00 to 7:00 if you belong to CSE in the first year, this is the case at VIT.
While at SRM, you have classes till 5:00 in the first year, and there are no such assignments. Also, you get to go out as many times as you want to, unlike VIT.
So in clear sense, you get to have much more freedom at SRM.
Placements:
More core companies visit VIT in comparison to SRM and so the placements at VIT are certainly a lot better.
Fees:
You have to pay a lot more at SRM if you happen to secure a rank more than SRMJEEE than you get to pay at VIT. Also, the hostel facility is also more expensive at SRM than in comparison to VIT.
With this, I hope you make the right choice.
Cheers!
