BITS, Pilani - Hyderabad Campus

The much awaited BITS -Pilani Hyderabad Campus started it's journey in the academic year 2008-09 . This campus will be another milestone in the glorious history of BITS-Pilani's Campuses . But still people have doubt about it's present condition in the field of Engineering colleges . It's not a inch back from other BITS -Pilani 's Campuses in field of Facilities , Professors etc. But Obviously experience is the thing which does matter in this field . It's like a small child waving it's hand and showing presence to everybody . In future it will surely gloom as a beautiful flower and will spread it's fragrance in the field of Enginnering . So, now let's don't go deep to the philosophical discussion of college and i should put down the real condition of the college .

Geographical background
The institute has acquired a land of 200 acres in Jawahar Nagar, Shameerpet Mandal from the Government of Andhra Pradesh through HUDA. This Campus in planned with an outlay of about Rs. 270 crores . Now I will say that this is a huge money but compared to research facilities needed to run a pioneer engineering college . But as a startup part it can be considered as a very good amount .

Education Process
The Institute operates its education programmes at three tiers of education, namely, the Integrated First Degree programmes, Higher Degree programmes and the Doctoral programmes.

Integrated First Degree Programmes
The Integrated First Degree Programmes are offered at the first tier with nomenclatures like B.E. (Hons.), M.Sc. (Hons.), and M.Sc. (Tech.). The se are all level wise equivalent degrees.

These are called integrated degrees for two reasons
1. There are several common courses amongst these degrees
2. No intermediate degrees, like B.Sc., B.Sc.(Hons.), B.A., B.A.(Hons.), etc. are awarded. These degrees are based on a modular structure and their academic requirements are spelt out in respect of the number of courses and units rather than the number of years.

All these programmes are structured in such a way that normally a student will be able to finish a programme in eight semesters. Of course, the flexibility of the Institute allows a student to do his programme at a faster pace and finish it earlier than 8 semesters or at a slower pace to finish it alter than 8 semesters.

All programmes offered at BITS, Pilani-Hyderabad are split into three groups as follows:

Group A (Engineering)
Chemical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Electrical and Electronics Engineering
Electrical and Communications Engineering
Computer Science
Civil Engineering
B. Pharmacy

Group B (Sciences)
Biological Sciences
Chemistry
Economics
Mathematics
Physics

Group C (M.Sc. Tech)
Information Systems

The Entrance Exam for BITS - Pilani Hyderabad Campus is also BITSAT . People are selected for these colleges according to preferences and their respective BITSAT score . In case of any doubt about the entrance exam or selection please mail me @ shanky19892006@gmail.com

What makes you an IITian ??

Today when a student thinks of his carrier in the field of engineering, he suddenly develops a dream of becoming an IIT Engineer. It was foretold that by some of my elders that for getting admission in IIT’s you really need to be intelligent. But with new complete fee structure and government policy of caste discrimination this proverb is loosing its value.

If today young aspirants will ask me about the admission in IIT’s, I will simply reply him back that you require two things for becoming an IIT Engineer.

1. 1. You should have a real conceptual mind (or you can develop them in new trends higher secondary school i.e. deemed Coaching Institutes).

2. 2. Your Father’s pocket should be full of cash (a turning point for becoming an IIT Engineer).

Today when any student starts his preparation for JEE, the most important step is

· Selection of Coaching

Due to recent change in the examination pattern of JEE, it has become important even for a real intelligent person to join coaching for JEE. These new higher secondary schools of India are the real makers of IITian. Without these a person can’t think of becoming an IITian.

Now, if we take a look over the fees taken by these reputed schools for providing their valuable efforts to make the future of your children, you will come to know the importance of these institutes for your child.

There are basically two modes of joining a coaching institute. Either you can go to hub cities of coaching institutes like KOTA, DELHI etc, or you can do preparation in your home with a less popular coaching institute and a correspondence of any hot shot coaching.

Plan A: - Preparation in HUB CITIES

EASONS	FEES
Coaching tuition fee	Rs. 40,000/- per annum
Housing charge	Rs. 2000/- per month
Mess charge	Rs. 1500/- per month
Stationary charges	Rs. 700/- per month
Other charges	Rs.1200/- per month

Plan B: - Preparation in your own city

REASONS	FEES
Coaching tuition fees	Rs. 35,000/- per annum
Stationary charges	Rs. 700/- per month
Correspondence material charges	Rs. 12,000/- per annum

Plan A, Total expenditure in two years: - Rs. 1, 44,480.

Plan B, Total expenditure in two years: - Rs. 1, 02, 400.

Now even after this there is no surety that your child is going to get selection in any of the IIT’s with any shit branch. So, there is a trend of wasting one important year of your life which is called as a drop in these new Higher Secondary School. Even if you have got something in other good colleges like NIT’s etc. they will force you to waste one year to get admission in IIT’s.

I don’t want anyone to not get selected in these IIT’s in the first attempt of JEE , after two year of comprehensive study in these Institutes, but since due to great population of India as the percentage of selection is only 2% . So, around 40% of the student who don’t get select in there fresh year, take drop and again start cramming for JEE. As with new pattern of JEE, the importance of cramming is more than the mere intelligence of a candidate.

Now you have chased your dream and you have got admission in prestigious IIT’s, but your father’s pocket is going to suffer a lot . Now, here is the fees structure of an IIT (Revised one which came into effect in current year 2008-09)

INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BOMBAY

Fees for B.Tech/DD/ 5-Yr M.Sc. students admitted during the academic year 2008-09

Now this is fees payable for one semester in IIT Bombay and the mess charges are not included in this as it depends on the intake of a child. Mess advance normally comes as 15,000/- per semester . So, if we add up the fees of one year excluding the refundable fees and the fees that is being charge annually.

Total = Rs. 1,02,752 (for GN/OBC) , Rs. 52,752 (for SC/ST)

Now total cost for making your child an IITian if your child clears JEE in his first attempt would be around = (1, 44,480 + 4*1,02,352) = Rs. 5,53,888 /-

So, now it would be quite sure for you all that for becoming an IITian your child should have brain and you should also have money which is really a turning point in your child’s selection in JEE and for the dream of your child to become an IITian.

Placement statistics of NSIT- Delhi

Netaji Subash Institute of technology (NSIT) is located in outer area of Western Delhi. It established in 1983 as a Delhi Institute of technology at kashmere gate.It was renamed as Netaji Subash Institute of Technology in 1997 and got shifted to new campus Dwarkain in 1998. The college has an intake of 420 students. It has got five discipline groups ----

1. Electronics and Communication Engg.
   
2. Computer Engg.
   
3. Instrumentation and control Engg.
   
4. Manufacturing Processes & automation engg.
   
5. Information Technology
   

Recently college is trying to get one more B.E. degree programme i.e. biotechnology . College also has a distinguished Higher degree programmes under following disciplines i.e. Information Systems , signal processing & Process control .

College has distinguished placement record and it's getting an increase in placement year by year. The placement percentage for this year is being shown in table below:-


Now I will be presenting here the list of companies visited for the placement in recent two years and the intake by them . Salary ranges from 2 to 5.50 lac.

The maximum placement for the academic year 2007-08 was 13 lac with an average salary pay of approx 3 lac .The college has got a lot of reputation in Delhi which can be easily seen from the choices of students for the colleges in CEE in recent years .

OUT OF TOP 50 TOPPERS OF CEE
The overall placement of college can be considered as satisfactory . But , As the location of college is highly favorable for the placement , it has not shown any output like which can be termed as "Awesome ". But , it's a new college and it will gain success in recent years . The placement of college will increase in coming time as it's reputation is increasing day by day . So , it's a very good choice for a student who didn't get through IIT's or BITS-Pilani or who is getting a crap branch in these colleges .

Placement analysis of IIT Kanpur

We all consider IIT Kanpur as a dream college for any engineering aspirants in india . A student when decides to prepare for competitive examination of enginnering , he often see his destination as IIT knapur in his dream for future . But , is this great college is doing well in terms of placement too? , probably we can analyse it now . As it was very difficult to get the authorised data of placement record of IIT Kanpur , i won't be able to present all the required essence of placement of IIT Kanpur . I am presenting here the placement data of 2006-07 in IIT Kanpur.


As placement session is held in second semester for all the degrees in IIT Kanpur. Before discussing about the details of the placement . I will present here some salient features about IIT kanpur in the fiels of acadmics.

•  There are five letter grades which have numerical equivalents on 10 point scale.
  

• In addition, there are three letter grades, viz., I, S and X, which stand for Incomplete, Satisfactory and Unsatisfactory, respectively.
  

• Further, for courses with zero weightage only Pass (P) / Fail (F) grades are awarded.
  

• Cumulative Performance Index (CPI): The overall academic performance of a student in all the courses registered up to last
  
• Semester I: From the fourth week of July to the last week of

Since I was not able to get the information about the average package of IIT kanpur , I will be presenting here only the list of recruiters and percentage of placement according to different no. of branches in the campus.

List of Recruitors in placement year 2006-07 in IIT kanpur :-


Demographic related to the distribution of student in academic year 2006-07 for the placement :-


As there is no enough data on the packages by different companies and the average pay in the campus for the undergraduate placement , it is not possible to compare it's placement with any other college in the list . So , In this srticle I am not talking about it's placement for the session 2007-07 , but i will surely do when i will get the official data . I request all the enthu IIT- K ians to contribute to their college by sending me the actual data on my gmail id shanky19892006@gmail.com.

Placement analysis of IIIT Hyderabad

This post will give you the enhanced detail of the placement IIIT Hyderabad . I can't tell it a proper Engineering College because of unavailability of core branches like mechanical, civil etc. The college is basically concentarte over Information technology . The theme of Institute is research in the field of Computer science or more precisely in the field of Information technology .

Institute has collaboration with many companies like MOTOROLA ,Oracle etc . The placement session continues for both the semester and students sits according to their C.G.P.A. (Cumulative grade point average) in placement starting from people with higher C.G.P.A. . I am presenting here the placement of Institute in the year 2007 updated by the IIIT Hyderabad in their Official site . for more information please visit http://www.iiit.ac.in/placements/placement2008/quickglanceplacement2007_recruiters.php

Placement of IIT Hyderabad refers to the on campus job placement assistance provided to the 2007 graduating batch of undergraduate and postgraduate students. This excludes the statistics relating to the ongoing individualized placement assistance being provided to the postgraduate research students.

Placement season 2007 in IIIT Hyderabad was conducted in 24 days, over six weeks, starting December 3, 2006, mostly on weekends, public holidays, and during winter vacation.

QUICK STATISTICS :

• Number of students that participated in placement - both B Tech and MTech, all disciplines-->> 226

• Number of companies that registered for placement -->> 1

• Number of non IT companies that registered for placement-->> 12

• Number of companies that were provided slots -->> 63

• Number of non IT companies that were provided slots -->> 9

• First time recruiters among the registered -->> 80

• First time recruiters that were provided slots -->> 38³

• Percentage of placement -->> 100%

Views above the placement

If you will clearly see the Placement of IIIT Hyderabad of the year 2007 you will find certain points .The Placement seems to be very good with average pay of 5.27 Lac per annum , But we should not overlook the fact that IIIT Hyderabad only has Information technology field to ponder . These branches are the most demanding field in Engineering . So, inspite of such a high average Placement , it is not satisfactory for IIIT Hydrabad .

But As this was the 5th placement of IIIT Hyderabad the no. of companies visited the campus is quite happening and in the recent years it will touch its zenith. All the brand names were present in the campus ranging from google to De shaw. IIIT Hyderabad has developed itself as a pioneered research institute and its stepping its way forward toward its success to become the best research institute if India . I am hoping that placement will become much better in the recent year and it can be a very good choice after IITs. But It has miles to cover to reach the level of IITs.
