FAQ's

What should I choose, IT at Jadavpur University or CSE at IIITM, Gwalior?
Both Jadavpur University and IIITM Gwalior are esteemed institutes. Jadavpur University is known throughout India for its excellent performance in the fields of education. It has been known to be at the top 20 of the NIRF Ranking for the last few years in terms of everything. Jadavpur University has a placement cell and statistics which can be compared to several IITs. Its placement in the IT and CSE cell are in the highest tier of packages. Jadavpur University has the best faculty in all of West Bengal for CSE and IT department. Jadavpur University program is completed in 4 years as it originally takes however on the other hand IIITM Gwalior has an integrated course of B-tech and M-tech which takes 5 years to complete. The extra one year spent here won’t add much value IIIT Gwalior is not so acknowledged when it comes to the Masters’s degree or the higher degree. Even when we see in terms of alumni networking Jadavpur University has better networks spread around the world. Here is a brief comparison of the institutes. Institute Jadavpur University IIITM Gwalior Average CTC 19 LPA 14 LPA Highest CTC 42 LPA 42 LPA Course fee 9600 5.4 lakhs Major recruiters Adobe, Microsoft, CGI Flipkart, Google, Goldman Sachs The decision solely depends on the institutes not on the course then. Both the courses are somewhat similar and Jadavpur University has got the upper hand when deciding about the institute. So IT at Jadavpur University would be the better choice.
Which is better, IIEST Shibpur or Jadavpur University CSE placements?
Jadavpur University and IIEST Shibpur are both well-known institutes in the country. I have some friends at both institutes. Based on what I heard from them, I will say for CSE, Jadavpur will be a better choice. Jadavpur is considered as the best institute in all of West Bengal when it comes to engineering especially CSE. Jadavpur is known to be the pioneer of CSE in India along with ISI and therefore had a head start. Jadavpur University has a better record of quality of education and the opportunities it provides to the students. That doesn’t necessarily mean that IIEST is not a good option. IIEST is also a very reputed institution in our country and a pioneer in some engineering courses and research fields. You can certainly keep IIEST as your second option after JU. Here is a brief outline of the CSE course offered by the institutions. Institute IIEST JU Average CTC 4.5 LPA 19 LPA Highest CTC 39 LPA 42 LPA Course Fee 5.36 lakhs 9,600 Major recruiters TCS, Microsoft, HSBC Technologies Adobe, Microsoft, CGI Hope this gives you some idea about the institutes.
Which chemical department is better, NIT Raipur or Jadavpur University?
One of my friends is a Chemical Engineer and she has a better idea about these institutes. She mentions that the Department of Chemical Engineering at Jadavpur University is among the best you could possibly obtain. It is nonetheless the oldest Chemical Engineering department in the whole country and might also be among the oldest in all Asia. Apart from that, the placement highlights and the faculty of the institute are up to the mark as well. But, if you want to know the overall placement highlight of both the institutes, then check below, Institutes Jadavpur University, Kolkata NIT Raipur Average CTC INR 19.96 LPA INR. 9.5 LPA Highest CTC INR 42 LPA INR 30.00 LPA Top Recruiting Companies Amazon, Airtel, Bajaj Auto, Capgemini, CESC, CGI, DirectI, Microsoft, Adobe Infoedge, Siemens, Adobe, Barclays, Capgemini, FIAT, Reliance, TATA, Amazon NIT Raipur is a centralized college, while Jadavpur University is state-funded. Speaking of which, there are almost no such big differences between them. But, opting for Jadavpur University over NIT Raipur will be financially beneficial.
Which University is better for English Honors at Undergraduate level, Jadavpur or Presidency University, Kolkata, and why?
Well, both the colleges hold their own places in English Honors at the Undergraduate level. But, this is the tough one as you won’t really get a definite answer. Jadavpur students will claim their institute is better and so will the Presidency students. Moreover, both the universities are undoubtedly the best for any stream in Humanities. I know people from both the institutes and based on the interactions I had with them I will suggest you go for JU. It will offer you better exposure, academics, faculty, ambiance. JU’s entrance examination is also more competitive. Few of my friends appeared for both the exams. And only the best managed to get into JU. While quite a few cracked Presidency University. As Presidency University looks at your current skills, on the other hand, Jadavhpur wants you to not only focus on writers’ current and past but also on different aspects like theatre as well.
How is IEM Kolkata? Which is better, CS at IEM Kolkata or civil/IT at Jadavpur?
This question is often asked by students whose WBJEE rank ranges from 1000-2000. Comparison - Institute:(Winning Institute - IEM) People supporting JU usually exalt their alumni network, brand name, and the fact of how old the institute is. Of Course, these things matter to a certain extent but the truth is that engineering at Jadavpur University is currently on a downhill journey. This accounts for the reason why their cutoff is almost equal to that of many new institutes. Jadavpur gives you an edge when it comes to ROI. Moreover, Jadavpur University is funded by the government so the cost of attendance is less compared to IEM Kolkata. But IEM Kolkata is affordable too. The CSE department of IEM boasts of almost 100% placement rate. The major recruiting companies are not only limited to TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, top rankers also get internship offers at Microsoft, Flipkart, Amazon, etc. Comparison - Branch: Now coming to your confusion about choosing a branch, you need to opt for the branch in which you are interested. If you don't have a specific preference of your own it's better to opt for CSE as CSE is any day better option than Civil or IT. Quick Overview 2021: Particulars IEM Kolkata (CSE) Jadavpur University (IT/Civil) Average CTC 6 LPA 19.96 LPA Highest CTC 22 LPA 58 LPA Tuition fee 98,400 30,860 Overall CSE at IEM Kolkata is a better alternative.
Which one will be a better choice, Jadavpur University in chemical (WBJEE rank 771) or IIEST Shibpur in electronics (JEE Main rank 11,680)?
Choosing the college depends upon personal preference. If you have any skill for either of the subjects, go for it irrespective of the institute. Both of the institutes are good and will provide you with tremendous opportunities. The table shows a brief overview of the institutions. Particulars JU IIEST Median Salary 19.96 lakhs 6.5 lakhs Highest Salary 58 lakhs 39 lakhs Fees Rs. 9,600 Rs. 5.36 lakhs However, if you don’t have a subject preference then here are few things that you should consider. Electronics as a specialization has got a booming market, which is demanded to create a lot of jobs presently. IIEST, becoming accredited with central status i.e Institute of National Importance, receives central government funding, as compared to state government funding for Jadavpur University. Therefore the infrastructure of IIEST is way better than Jadavpur University. IIEST now admits students from all over India, so you will get to interact with students from all over the country. This will boost your learning experience a lot. Overall, if you need to decide between the given two choices then you should opt for Electronics at IIEST.
Which is better, IIEST Shibpur or Jadavpur University?
To decide which college is better than the other, here are some things that you should consider. These parameters include the following. Ranking: If you check the latest NIRF ranking, IIEST Shibpur ranks at 43rd position while Jadavpur University ranks in 12th position among the other institutes. Top University: Jadavpur University has got the tag of “University” but IIEST Shibpur does not have any tag as of now. Curriculum / Culture: Coming on to the important parameter, Jadavpur University has a very rich coding culture. This has helped in brushing up the skills of students up to a greater extent. Placements: Jadavpur University has a very strong placement cell and this is the reason for their outstanding placement stats year after year. On the other hand, IIEST Shibpur has an average placement stat. Accommodation Facilities: IIEST Shibpur provides you with better facilities. There are separate hostels for separate batches and from 3rd year onwards, you can choose a single room. At Jadavpur University you might need to compromise because all the batches get the same hostel. Changing Branch: One of the demerits of studying at Jadavpur University is that if you haven’t got your favorite branch after 1st year, after 3 WBJEE Counselling, spot round occurs depending on your WBJEE rank and that is the last chance to change your stream. Changing streams at IIEST Shibpur is a much easier procedure. Both the institutes are the two legacies of this state and they both have produced extremely talented alumni. Though IIEST Shibpur does not have high placement records as of now one cannot predict what will happen after 4 years. So, don’t choose an institute solely based on the brand value. Just see if you are able to find the relevant stream or not. To get into one of these institutes, you really need a good score in WBJEE.
What should I choose. 1. CSE Jadavpur University 2. B.Tech + M.Tech dual degree CSE @ IIEST, Shibpur 3. CSE @ NIT Durgapur?

First of all, never compare Jadavpur University with NIT Durgapur for the Engineering stream. Second important thing is, people usually prefer B.Tech and M.Tech students over the one who has opted for Dual degree program. The reason for this is dual degree programs are not valuable in industry or research.

Talking particularly about CSE, Jadavpur University is quite good and even better than the new IITs and most of the NITs. Among the given options, CSE at Jadavpur University is the best option to opt for. You will enjoy your studies here. You will have a good range of research projects. You will get abundant internship opportunities from here. Although placements at JU are not as great as compared to IITs, NITs, BITS, and IIITs.

Currently, is IIEST Shibpur, formerly BESU, better than Jadhavpur University?
IIEST Shibpur offers integrated MTech for engineering streams. So, first, be clear if you want to pursue MTech from an institute that does not have a record of producing post-grads like IITs or other universities abroad. Comparison: In academics, there is not much difference between JU CS and BESU CS. In fact in the present scenario, JU CS has better placement statisticsas compared to BESU CS.For this reason, sometimes BESU CS/IT graduates join IITs after the completion of their course and often end up in the same firms their fellow JU mates are working in for 2 years. BESU got updated to the status of IIEST quite recently. It will take some time for the institute to improve its infrastructure and academics. Being an institute of national importance, the institute is attracting good facilities and campus recruits. The bottom line is if you are sure that you want to pursue integrated MTech, IIEST CS is not a bad option. Be it JU or BESU, the institute does not matter that much. If you are hard-working, you will excel.
Which is better for competitive programming: Jadavpur University or IIEST, Shibpur?
Any college can be good for competitive programming. It all relies on you to educate yourself, to learn new strategies, and to spend hours coding. Anudeep Nekkanti is one such example. He was recruited by Google and qualified for ACM ICPC world finals. If you look at the name of his college, it's not one of those elite ones. There was no competitive programming pattern in BESU/IIEST until recently. But many students have taken competitive programming platforms such as Codechef and HackerRank over the last few years. You can search the Codechef Rating System site to verify it for yourself. You get a college-wise database of the number of students actively engaged in competitive coding and their results using this platform. Lastly, don't support the myth that the only way to prove yourself as a coder is competitive programming. There are other coding fields as well. In this sense, do not consider that there was no "real coder" in IIEST because there was no competitive coding pattern previously in IIEST (BESU back then). Some of the alumni of the institute are working in top companies in India and overseas and have never been interested in competitive coding.
