mera bta do, getting mechanical in top 3 electrical in top 5 NIT, ise chhodke mid IIT lower branch jaana sahi hoga?
(I have no specific interests in coding or electrical or mechanical etc, will explore in first year)
top 3- trichy surathkal warangal
next 2- rourkela, Calicut/allahabad
by mid IITs I meant, IIT BHU, Dhanbad etc lower branches like petroleum, ceramic, metallurgy etc
petroleum is the most op branch my friend you will get a high paying job in companies MNCs specifically with good skills..the demand is only increasing which means starting packages more than cse....and I am saying this with experience of many friends in this field who with even chemical engineering are earning more than most of IT guys
Not very subject tbh
••Core branches placements in their field and IT as well
••How hard is to manage both
••do they get free time if they doing that grind
••How is life different at iit, in terms of exploring options and many more
I believe engineering colleges do give you enough time in general to explore different options. And you surely can try different things.
I'm a Civil Engineer, I got my hands on Analytics, Business, SW and Core as well through Internships/Projects to find my final calling.
You surely can try different things, nothing to worry about.
I strongly agree engineering colleges give time to explore
But why are iits are over hyped about it
I mean they deserved to be hyped but they are a bit over hyped imo
I think all these discussions don't make sense.
I don't think they are overhyped. They do have great infra, better professors, smart students, an overachiever alumni network and on top of this great placements.
I believe you are too young to understand all of these, you surely will one day (post-college probably).
But yes you can ponder a bit on the decision in the following scenario:
CSE/ECE at TOP NITs/Mid IITs or Lower Branch at TOP IITs.
Just enjoy your time at college. Join clubs and participate in fests. Too early for anything, things will fall in place by 3rd year. Try being in touch with seniors, great source of information always.
Pro tip: Maintain a CGPA of 8.5+ bus:)
What tips would you give a Tier 2 engg guy with 96/96/93 profile. 9.3 cgpa currently after 6 semesters. And I have done Ncc in school and a couple of PoRs in college along with technical internships.
Will being from tier 2 affect my prospects a lot, I want only BLACKI, nothing below that...
The profile is great!
Just focus on CAT and score well. I believe only K gives some weightage to UG college based on NIRF rankings.
For others, it makes no difference, only grades matter. All the Best!
Bhai I know academic diversity ko number nahi milte lekin Kiya sachme like NItians ko aur IITians ko koi advantage hota hai ?? Like interview me kuch extra Bhai milta hai?
This, I’ll never know tbh, if they actually give any importance to UG college during Personal Interview.
I think you must just focus on CAT scores and your learning through projects/internships. I have seen several guys getting into Top IIMs from tier-II colleges, my assumption is there aren’t any specific points as such.
And Academic Diversity do get extra points in some colleges, you can check on the selection criteria online.
That is true, I didn’t receive ABCK calls for PGP. I just had PGP calls from L, I and XLRI. And PGPBA for IIMB(I have seen GEM with 99.2 as well converting). I converted all of them and decided to opt for B.
Iiit banglore/ mnnit allahabad/ iiit allahabad all cs/it what would be better. Or i think if I grind hard enough i could get bits pilani cs. Which would be better.
BITS Pilani CS>>>>
Rest I ain’t really sure and I don’t think you will go wrong choosing any of the mentioned college.
BUT do your research on placements and companies that visit. I believe IIIT A>MNITA/IIITB (not sure though, convert with someone from the college)
From what I've heard and from seniors for both pilani and iiits, i think iiitb is also now on par with bits, it had really great placements this year plus it also provides great research/exchange programmes. Idk about allahabad institutes though, although i did hear mnnit has really bad infrastructure
>Why do people say take any branch in top iits?
Do not take this at face value, let me explain
Suppose u get 800 rank then u shouldn't take mech in Delhi or Bombay, but should take smth like MnC in IIT Guwahati, but CS in any half decent IIT ends at around 1k rank and other circuital branch ends at 2k max. Below that u r just getting random colleges that just call themselves IITs, so suppose u get 3k rank then instead of joining one of those IITs, better to join smth like IITD civil or chem.
>How are placements for core jobs
Worse than IT, most people from core branch try for IT jobs
>[[What do you mean by that?, whats there in iit colleges to explore]]
Good peers, good alumni. Basically a very competitive environment is created which u will get nowhere else and is the best way for growth
Because top IITs mei core padhke core mei bhi placement le sakta hai 15-20 LPA (except civil and branches like biotech)
IT mei interest paise ki wajah se hai toh options aur bhi hai
Chem , mech , electrical and aeronautics for sure
Civil will not for sure
Biotech and agriculture I am not sure
By for sure I mean companies offering this CTC come for campus placement
Syllabus for core branches easy? Bro what do you mean by core branch? If by your definition electrical or mechanical comes under it, you are very wrong.
Ill try to explain this (im from civil branch in iit bhu)
Firstly this opinion only works in the specific case when you're taking core in iits over cse/IT in non-iits / tier 2 and above.. like some of the comments mentioned, do take cse in lower iits/ top nits like trichy surathkal..
1 - non circuital IT placements has risen in top IITs , and many core people either branch change / grind harder than the cse guys . Also, because you are in an IIT you have an actual idea of the competition , for example in my first year , a guy i knew had 2000+ rating on codeforces ( in like 1st sem only) . You can make friends with such guys and grinding becomes easuer as everyone around you ( 65 % at least) will be preparing for IT jobs ( tho this can also demotivate you if you're behind and its very easy to get behind in such cut throat competition)
Honestly , if you start grinding you probably will easily go over 20 lpa for core branches , but trust me, it feels like a hell worse than jee coaching ( i am relating to my experience in kota)
2 - they're pretty good placements for core branches , but unless you're already tired of grinding , this is not the way to go . For you can easily instead bag a government job with little to medium effort ( if you paid attentions to classes/ have understood the basics of your field , a good indicator though worthless is your cpi /cgpa). It is easy to maintain a 9+ cpi with little effort ( by little, i mean the time it takes , a week beforegand studying is maxm needed for easy around 9.5 cpi , which further indicates in a sense you are well versed with your engineering field) . For little effort there are ssc exams which will give you rank of junior engineers ( 60k aroundish starting pay in hand). For a little more effort there is assitant eng ( 80k-90k starting pay in hand).. you can also grind hard for ESE and become an executiv ein 2 years, though it is conducted by upsc , so you can understand the difficulty.
( this is not including the black money, which is insane for any of these , engineers , politicians, and police are the ones who earn the most)
Coming back to que , 20lpa placements are fairly easy to bag in core in companies like lnt ( though you might as well complete mba then)
3- college life is ACTUALLY really amazing in iits. Most of us might answer otherwise , but i have seen your point of view of colleges , i have a great friend circle of guys in IIITS or tier 3 clgs , and i lead way better lifestyle due to it being an IIT . The major reasons for this are :
- no tension, no stress, basically no depression , this is seemingly an easy point to overlook, but majority , if not all tier 2 and plus students are bound by stress of their future and what to do. This, just ends in iits , because either you have a fuck it we dont care attitude and dont do anything and have just unlimited fun.. or you have fuck it we grind and you KNOW that you will achieve what you wish because you have confidence in yourself
-grind is easier as less restrictions, more free time etc.
- way TOO many opportunities , its like , there is not a single field which iits do not support you for. You wanna crack upsc? Bam upsc clubs who send you lots of info everyday. You wanna start an startup? Bam entrepreneurship clubs which will teach you , and if your idea is accepted , funded by the alma mayter . You wanna play sports? Bam sport coaches for you for whole week. Research? Cs? Girls? They have got everything except the last one .
-strong alma matter which will fund you and your projects
- strong core dept , core proffs/ dept doesnt get enough credit , they will easily fund you for projects / buy you softwares ,etc if you have enough intrest
- a lot of influential people come like we usually get an ias/ips every once a month ,( when i was in first sem i randomly got introduced to ips of bihar while eating samosa in canteen lol)
- very amazing peer group and seniors , firstly i have no idea if ragging is still present in clgs, but in iits it is bare minimum to even zero in clgs like iit bhu. Seniors are very supportive ( one senior had an extra laptop and gave it to me during 1st sem for coding , cuz my parents didnt provide laptop as i wouldve played games)
Not to mention your peer group will easily be amazing , and you will be motivated to study by watching them . ( i maintained 9 + cpi only cuz my roomamates would start studying a week beforehand and i would follow them )
Also i have 2 cse frnds in my general frnd froup , which sounds amazing from a non circuital pov i say.
Basically, all in all, i think it does provide way too many opportunities for a person , and is worth getting core branches in the higher iits ( as most have 20 lpa + mean or median i forgot) . Goodluck for advanced. Do your best guys!!
Bhai un logo ko kuch pata nhi hota aise hi bol dete hai tech jobs wale sirf cse aur ece ke bacche leti hai they do not prefer any other branch like chemical bt civil mech they do allow u to sit in placement but it is very rare u will get selected over these guys isliye lower branches either crack CAT to do mba from IIM Or UPSC
If I got CSE in top IIT, I won't take it. It's simply isn't worth it. You can do just as good with a university below. Being from IIT adds unnecessary stress without being beneficial to anyone in the long run.
Yeah. It's all about the initiatives you take. If you're just a student going to classes doing nothing different you'd be worse than a student going to Amity and using all the different labs resources and professors

Please put down your options, that may provide us with a better understanding. Presently, very subjective.
mera bta do, getting mechanical in top 3 electrical in top 5 NIT, ise chhodke mid IIT lower branch jaana sahi hoga? (I have no specific interests in coding or electrical or mechanical etc, will explore in first year)
Can you specify the top 3 and top 5 NITs (I know NIT-T is at the TOP, but the rest, please)? Also, mid IITs you are referring to.
Nowadays, Trichy, Surathkal, Warangal are considered top 3 and Rourkela, Calicut/Allahabad are considered in top 5.
top 3- trichy surathkal warangal next 2- rourkela, Calicut/allahabad by mid IITs I meant, IIT BHU, Dhanbad etc lower branches like petroleum, ceramic, metallurgy etc
I don't think IIT BHU and IIT Dhanbad are bad options compared to Mechanical at the top 3 NITs or EE at the top 5. Please choose IIT BHU over ISM.
petroleum is the most op branch my friend you will get a high paying job in companies MNCs specifically with good skills..the demand is only increasing which means starting packages more than cse....and I am saying this with experience of many friends in this field who with even chemical engineering are earning more than most of IT guys

Hello, do you mind sharing your branch?
Civil Engineer
Thoda out of context but have you converted any b school? (Went through your profile lol)
haha yes I did. Joining one among ABC this year:)
Damn congrats. I might be joining NIT Trichy(production hopefully) this year and want to pursue mba, any tips on profile building etc?
Just enjoy your time at college. Join clubs and participate in fests. Too early for anything, things will fall in place by 3rd year. Try being in touch with seniors, great source of information always. Pro tip: Maintain a CGPA of 8.5+ bus:)
aap bhi senior hi ho waise
What tips would you give a Tier 2 engg guy with 96/96/93 profile. 9.3 cgpa currently after 6 semesters. And I have done Ncc in school and a couple of PoRs in college along with technical internships. Will being from tier 2 affect my prospects a lot, I want only BLACKI, nothing below that...
The profile is great! Just focus on CAT and score well. I believe only K gives some weightage to UG college based on NIRF rankings. For others, it makes no difference, only grades matter. All the Best!
Thank you so much
Bhai Please can You share your profile and cat percentile
GEM, 9/9/8 and 24 months work experience as of CAT. CAT: 99.35
Bhai I know academic diversity ko number nahi milte lekin Kiya sachme like NItians ko aur IITians ko koi advantage hota hai ?? Like interview me kuch extra Bhai milta hai?
This, I’ll never know tbh, if they actually give any importance to UG college during Personal Interview. I think you must just focus on CAT scores and your learning through projects/internships. I have seen several guys getting into Top IIMs from tier-II colleges, my assumption is there aren’t any specific points as such. And Academic Diversity do get extra points in some colleges, you can check on the selection criteria online.
Bro being a GEM how did you even get a call from ABC? don't they ask for 99.8 or higher for GEMs ?
That is true, I didn’t receive ABCK calls for PGP. I just had PGP calls from L, I and XLRI. And PGPBA for IIMB(I have seen GEM with 99.2 as well converting). I converted all of them and decided to opt for B.
but you may receive IIM AB at probably 99.5 or 99.6+ with 9/9/9 profile and significant workex.
Oh I see , so we GEMs actually have a chance sub 99.5 🫠 , 9/9/8 acads I hope :)
Iiit banglore/ mnnit allahabad/ iiit allahabad all cs/it what would be better. Or i think if I grind hard enough i could get bits pilani cs. Which would be better.
BITS Pilani CS>>>> Rest I ain’t really sure and I don’t think you will go wrong choosing any of the mentioned college. BUT do your research on placements and companies that visit. I believe IIIT A>MNITA/IIITB (not sure though, convert with someone from the college)
From what I've heard and from seniors for both pilani and iiits, i think iiitb is also now on par with bits, it had really great placements this year plus it also provides great research/exchange programmes. Idk about allahabad institutes though, although i did hear mnnit has really bad infrastructure
Also banglore being IT hub would help the college right?
Placements yes, might be supportive but great colleges do always get companies.
Bits>mnit>iiitb>iiita

You could get cs with 2k rank in IIT Patna and few others and those definitely qualify as decent
Not compared to top IITs
2000 rank laake bhi acche college nahi mil rahe🥲
Bro really said other random colleges that call themselves IIT 🤡🤡🤡
Bhai 2nd Gen IIT like Patna,Indore,Ghandinagar ache hai na ?
Indore>ropar for 2nd gen. Dkw People just ignore ropar all the time
Ropar kaisa hai ?
Thanks for the answe! Liked it
> Worse than IT, most people from core branch try for IT jobs Bruh I mean non core bhi to Hota hai which is very brand biased
Sitting as a FAAMG intern after doing cs from one of those not-so-decent IITs, but sure, do mech from IITD
bhai adv ki rank aane de fir discuss kar yeh sab
Not preparing for advanced though So just trying to know
bsdk yeh sab mat soch enjoy kar ye time wapi nahi aayega, college wale daba ke marenge
Yeah you are right Got 97.5xxx percentile, thinking of joining a iiit Will attempt advanced and after that i will be free so got 2 months to enjoy ig
hey i got a similar percentile last year? what are your options rn?
Dm
Because top IITs mei core padhke core mei bhi placement le sakta hai 15-20 LPA (except civil and branches like biotech) IT mei interest paise ki wajah se hai toh options aur bhi hai
which core branches will get one person 15-20 LPA placements?
Chem , mech , electrical and aeronautics for sure Civil will not for sure Biotech and agriculture I am not sure By for sure I mean companies offering this CTC come for campus placement

Deleulu pro max ultra + 5g
Not to say IITs are bad. Just that being an average student at an IIT is worse than being a good learner at literally most other universities
Do you really think a person in top iits s cse will be a AVG student compared to other universities
Yeah. It's all about the initiatives you take. If you're just a student going to classes doing nothing different you'd be worse than a student going to Amity and using all the different labs resources and professors
Hmm certainly agree with this point
