[@binaymetiya2864]

Sir,I strongly appreciate your view..interest in the department is very much needed to succeed but most of the career counselors are guiding students and guardians to opt for the dream institute rather than departments..they say you can change departments after one year/you can do MBA after btech/you can participate in placement from any departments/ you will get best environment in dream college and your life will be smooth whatever department you choose/ you will get good placement only for tag/ you can learn coding from other sources whatever department you choose and sit for placement......many students are regretting following their advice.....imo admission in iit and nit only for tag and not showing interest in the department is a big mistake

[@Prof_JC]

It is certainly true that in the big-name colleges there are certain long-standing traditions which enhance the student experience. Plus a big advantage is the peer group that the students get to grow up with. However, when it comes to the actual studies, if the student is not at all interested in the subject matter then it is no good. The richness of co-curricular and extra curricular activities cannot be a substitute for the actual curricular activities if one is really interested in building a genuine career in professional engineering or higher studies.

[@MayankGoel447]

Different branches in computer science use different fields in mathematics. Like Algorithm Design and Analysis mainly uses discrete maths, some techniques from analysis. ML and data analytics are mainly linear algebra, probability and statistics. In Quantum Computing, you basically need to know all the maths but mainly functional analysis, linear algebra etc. If you want to go into software engineering like web development, app development then you will encounter barely any maths. In a nutshell, usage of mathematics in Computer Science highly depends on which field in CS you want to pursue. But having a problem mindset is extremely useful no matter which field you get into.

Sir right now I am getting nit h but couldn't make into iit due to lack of revision in preparation I wanted to get into research but nit h doesn't has the research environment like IITs/top nits according to some seniors and it was my drop year so should I take again a partial drop or prepare for gate to get into IITs or to prepare for masters in abroad.I am very passionate to work and explore in the artificial intelligence field.

Bro you can go if you want to really do chemical or go for higher studies for chemical

[@tasmaytibrewal3926]

Sir how is industrial and manufacturing engineering at IIT Kharagpur, is it comparable to mechanical, does it have good scope? Shall I opt for it before civil? (I loved mechanics and physics) Also Sir you mentioned Chemical engineering, does it have no chemistry, and if it does then does it have Inorganic chemistry? This is because I hated studying chemistry (inorganic), physical chemistry was alright for me.

Hi sir, I did not got enough rank to get CSE but somehow I managed to get a decent rank to pursue branches like Chemical, Mechanical, Metallurgy in top NITs. I'm interested in CSE but parallelly I also need a good college. So I decided to choose Chemical, Mechanical or Civil in NITK Surathkal which is near to my home and try to upgrade branch in 2nd year. But now you are telling that branch upgradation is a trap, then what should I do sir ? I want to study CSE and also want to study in NITK Surathkal. Please suggest me something sir 🙏 I'm very confused. Thank you .

[@sohaibaftab446]

Very well put, Sir. This "Institute or Department" dillema is very hard to crack. I have loved studying Computer science in +2 and I always knew I wanted to continue with CSE. So while preparing for JEE it would often cross my mind, that how would Advanced toppers who take up IITB CSE know whether CSE is their field of interest? How is the cutoff consistently so high? Then I realized it's all decided by the placement perspective ( mostly) although I think they are more eligible than me to study CSE. They are hardworkers afterall, and I'm not judging anyone here.😅

I do not have inside knowledge about IIT Kanpur CS, so I won't comment. But CS at KGP is absolutely fantastic. There are some great profs here. There is a lot of flexibility in the curriculum so you can carve out a profile of your choice. There are some research centres too to whet your appetite in truly advanced and cutting edge topics.

Not what you exactly said but basically opt the department which contains topics which were of considerable interest during +2...now given someone might be interested in physics..how good would engineering physics as a branch(also given the student has some qualitative ideas of what lagrangian hamiltonian mech..electromagnetism..etc is)

Congratulations on the really great result. I cannot imagine there being any significant different between IITD and IITM for CS. So please make your choice based on other factors like how far away from home the institute is. Back when we were students we heard that some North Indian students faced a bit of problem with the food at IITM. (It is a luxury for you to be thinking of these factors! :) )

Sir I have interest in Robotics field. I am getting NIT/IIIT (not top ones) according to my JEE rank and getting core branches there. I am also getting University School of Automation & Robotics (USAR), Delhi (affiliated to Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University). There is only IIIT Bhagalpur where Mechatronics branch is present. So, what should I choose? A core branch at NIT/IIIT OR IIIT Bhagalpur mechatronics (kind of robotics) for IIIT tag OR USAR? PS- From NPTEL scheme, I am taking up robotics course from Prof. Pratihar (Mech Dept., IIT KGP) and IIoT online course from University of Michigan (got financial aid there). Also I have been in talks with IIT-Delhi's robotics club and may join that too in few months. Please suggest after taking my current courses into consideration. Sir waiting for a reply.

[@ashwith]

Totally agree with it - if you're sure of what stream you want to pick, prefer stream over institute and be ready to put in a lot of hard work and self study. NPTEL is how we got through engineering during undergrad (EE folks, check out lectures by Profs. Madan Gopal and SC Dutta Roy). Back then internet wasnt cheap so we would divide the lecture downloads amongst us and use BSNL's free night internet (200kbps!!) to download lectures and then share them on DVDs. Things are a lot lot better now and the quality and amount of online content has improved significantly. What you're passionate about need not be what you're initially good at. I'm fairly above average in computer programming. Yet I can't see myself doing it for hours. On the other hand, I struggled to learn analog design. But I can work on a circuit analysis or deaign problem for hours without knowing how much time passed. Knowing this difference is important. It's a marriage - the real strength is known in difficult times, i.e., when you've got to study/work on the dry/mundane stuff. If you're not sure of what you're interested in, spend some time online finding out what various streams do.

Respected sir, i have a query. I am not very good with mathematics (parameter to justify is my jee advanced score in maths which is 40/120) but im decent enough in physics. So will IIT Bombay ee (5y)(btech+mtech) be a better choice over IIT kanpur MNC (BS) provided im getting both as per last years cut offs.

[@Prof_JC]

Please don't base your ability in mathematics ONLY by the JEE Advanced score. If you have had a sustained interest and in maths especially in the pure maths side (combinatorial maths for example) then you may end up doing very good in Mathematics and Computing. However, if you feel your strong point is physics then IIT Bombay EE is fantastic.

[@satvikp.s2688]

I also had less marks in maths in JEE, around 50/124. Physics was my strong suit then. But after I came to college my interest completely flipped, I performed much better in math courses than in physics related courses. JEE maths is very different from college maths. So you shouldn't judge your capability by your JEE marks.
